Key Audit Matters

4. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial
statements for the year ended March 31, 2026. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined
the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matters

How the Key Audit Matters was addressed in our audit

Allowance for Expected Credit Loss ("ECL") on Loan Assets:

Total Loans as at March 31, 2026: '' 1,88,847.11 crore
ECL Provision as at March 31, 2026: '' 4,372.34 crore
(Refer Note 36 to the standalone financial statements)

Indian Accounting Standard 109 - Financial Instruments (''IndAS
109'') requires the Company to provide for impairment of its
financial assets using the expected credit loss (''ECL'') approach
involving an estimation of probability of loss on such financial
assets, considering reasonable and supportable information
about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future
economic conditions which could impact the credit quality of
the Company''s financial assets. The estimation of impairment
loss allowance on loan assets involves significant judgement
and estimates, which are subject to uncertainty, and involves
applying appropriate measurement principles in case of loss
events.

The Expected Credit Loss (ECL) is calculated using the percentage
of probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and
exposure at default (EAD) for each of the stages of loan portfolio.
Significant management judgment and assumptions involved in
measuring ECL is required with respect to:

Our audit procedures in respect of this area included, but not limited
to:

a. Obtained and read Company''s Board approved policies on ECL
and evaluated the appropriateness of the Company''s accounting
policies for impairment of financial instruments and assessed
compliance of the same with Ind AS 109;

b. Performed a walkthrough of the impairment loss allowance
process, and assessed the design and tested operating
effectiveness of the key controls over completeness and
accuracy of the key inputs (including loan book as at March 31,
2026) and assumptions considered for calculation, recording and
monitoring of the impairment loss recognised. These controls,
amongst others, included controls over the staging of the loan
portfolio along with passing of journal entries and preparing
disclosures;

Key Audit Matters

How the Key Audit Matters was addressed in our audit

The Company''s key financial accounting and reporting processes
are highly dependent on information systems including
automated controls in information systems, such that there exists
a risk that, gaps in the IT control environment could result in the
financial accounting and reporting records being misstated.

We have identified ''IT systems and controls'' as a key audit matter
because of the high-level automation, significant number of
systems being used by the management and the complexity
of the IT architecture and its impact on the financial reporting
system.

f. We have perused reports of Information Systems and other
technology audits initiated by the Management during the year.

We have also obtained written representations wherever considered
necessary.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report thereon

5. The Company''s Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in
the Annual Report but does not include the standalone and consolidated financial statements and our audit reports thereon. The other
information is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report.

6. Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.

7. In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above
when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

8. When we read the other information, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the
matter to those charged with governance under SA 720 ''The Auditor''s responsibilities Relating to Other Information''.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

9. The Company''s Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these
standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash
flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards
specified under section 133 of the Act read with Ind AS and the RBI Guidelines. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and
detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates
that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating
effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the
standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

10. In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for assessing the Company''s ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting
unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

11. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.

Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

12. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor''s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level
of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.

13. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
We also:

13.1 Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and
perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

13.2 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has
adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such
controls.

13.3 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by management and Board of Directors.

13.4 Conclude on the appropriateness of management and Board of Director''s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt
on the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor''s report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,
to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor''s report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

13.5 Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether
the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

14. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

15. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

16. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in
the audit of the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31,2026 and are therefore, the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditor''s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare
circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so
would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
