S HEDULE 17 BAS S OF PREPARAT ON OF F NAN AL STATE ENTS The fnancial statements have been prepared on historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated, by following the going concern concept and are in accordance with statutory provisions. The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank used in the preparation of these fnancial statements conform to the statutory requirements, the Generally Accepted Accounting Practices prevailing within the banking industry in India (“Indian GAAP”), and the guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”) from time to time. Where there are specifc directions from RBI in regard to issues relating to measurement (for eg. IRAC provisioning norms) or disclosure, the same are taken to supersede the Indian GAAP. The preparation of fnancial statements requires the management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date of the fnancial statements and the reported income and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the fnancial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ from these estimates. S N F ANT A OUNT N POL ES 1. R R t 1.1 Income and expenditure are generally recognised on accrual basis. In case of Non Performing Advances and Investments, overdue locker rent, interest on overdue bills, interest on tax refunds, such income is accounted for only on realization in accordance with the guidelines issued by RBI. 1.2 Till March 2008, the Bank recognised interest on matured term deposits at the time of renewal / withdrawal of the same. In pursuance of RBI circular DBOD.No.Leg.BC.34/09.07.005/2008-09, the Bank has been providing interest on outstanding matured term deposits at the savings bank rate of 3.50% p.a. 1.3 In accordance with the guidelines issued by the RBI, prior period disclosures are made in respect of any item which exceeds one percent of the total income/total expenditure as, accounted for in the proft and loss account. 2. t t 2.1 The investment portfolio of the Bank is classifed in accordance with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines, into “Held for Trading”, “Available for Sale” and “Held to Maturity” categories. These are further identifed as Performing or Non-performing as per Income Recognition, Asset Classifcation and Provisioning norms of RBI. However, for disclosure in the balance sheet, these are classifed under six groups as follows : - Government securities - Other approved securities - Shares - Debentures and Bonds - Subsidiary/sponsored institution - Others 2.2 Basis of Classifcation: Classifcation of an Investment is done at the time of purchase into following categories: 2.2.1 Held to Maturity These comprise of Investments which the bank intends to hold till maturity. 2.2.2 Held for Trading Securities which are held for resale within 90 days from the date of purchase.
67th ANNUAL REPORT 2009-10 39 THE BANK OF RAJASTHAN LTD.
2.2.3 Available for Sale Investments which cannot be classifed in the above two categories. 2.3 Transfer of Securities between categories: The transfer / shifting of securities between the three categories of Investments is accounted at the least of acquisition cost/ book value / market value on the date of transfer and the depreciation, if any, on such transfer is fully provided for. 2.4 Valuation: The valuation of Investments is made in accordance with the RBI guidelines. 2.4.1 Held to Maturity The Investments classifed under this category are valued at acquisition cost. The excess of acquisition cost/book value over the face value is amortised equally over the remaining period of maturity. 2.4.2 Available for Sale Investments under this category are valued scrip-wise and net depreciation in each classifcation of securities is provided for, while the net appreciation in each classifcation of securities is ignored. 2.4.3 Held for Trading Investments under this category are valued scrip-wise on monthly basis and net depreciation under each classifcation is provided for, without adjusting the book value of the securities. However, unrealized gain on such valuation is ignored. 2.5 Recognition of Income & Expenditure 2.5.1 Dividend on equity and preference shares is recognised as income on receipt of the same and income from units of mutual fund is accounted on cash basis in accordance with the RBI guidelines. 2.5.2 The proft or loss on sale/redemption of Investments is taken to the Proft and Loss Account. However, in case of proft on sale / redemption of Investments from “Held to Maturity” category, an equivalent amount is appropriated to the “Capital Reserve”. 2.5.3 In respect of securities included in any of the three categories of Investments where interest/principal is in arrears for more than 90 days, income is not reckoned and appropriate provision for the depreciation in the value of the Investments is made, as per prudential norms applicable to non-performing advances. The depreciation / provision requirement in respect of non-performing Investments is not set off against the appreciation in respect of performing Investments. 2.5.4 Brokerage, incentive, front-end fees, etc. received on purchase of securities are reduced from the cost of Investments. 2.5.5 Expenses such as brokerage, fees, commission or taxes incurred at the time of acquisition of securities are charged to revenue. 2.5.6 The excess of acquisition cost/book value over the face value on “Held To Maturity” category is amortised in “Schedule 14 – Other Income under sub-head – Proft /(Loss) on Revaluation of Investment” as a deduction in conformity with RBI guidelines. The book value of the securities has been reduced to that extent. 2.6 Determination of Cost Cost of Investments is determined on the basis of weighted average cost method.
