We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Results of The Federal Bank Limited (hereinafter referred to as the "the Bank") for the year ended March 31, 2024 ("the Statement"), being submitted by the Bank pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 and Regulation 52 read with Regulation 63(2) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended ("the Listing Regulations") except for the disclosure relating to Pillar 3 as at March 31, 2024, including leverage ratio, liquidity coverage ratio and net stable funding ratio under Basel III Capital Regulations as have been disclosed on the Bank's website and in respect of which a link has been provided in Note 10 to the Statement and have not been audited by us.  

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Statement:

i.   is presented in accordance with the requirements  of the Listing Regulations in this regards except for the disclosures relating to Pillar 3 as at March 31, 2024, including leverage ratio, liquidity coverage ratio and net stable funding ratio under Basel III Capital Regulations as have been disclosed on the Bank's website and in respect of which a link has been provided in Note 10 to the Statement and have not been audited by us; and

ii.  gives a true and fair view, in conformity with the recognition and measurement principle laid down in the applicable accounting standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") read with Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021, as amended to the extent applicable, the relevant provisions of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, the circulars, guidelines and directions issued by the Reserve Bank of India ("the RBI") from time to time ("the RBI Guidelines") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India of the net profit and other financial information for the year ended March 31, 2024.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SAs") specified under section 143(10) of the Act and other applicable authoritative pronouncements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("the ICAI"). Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results section of our report. We are independent of the Bank in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the ICAI together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Statement, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Management and Board of Directors' Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Results

The Statement which is the responsibility of the Bank's Management and approved by the Board of Directors, has been compiled from the Standalone Audited Financial Statements. The Bank's Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the net profit and other financial information of the Bank in accordance with the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act read with Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021, as amended to the extent applicable, the relevant provisions of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, the RBI Guidelines and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with the Listing Regulations. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act, Banking Regulation Act, 1949 and the RBI Guidelines  for safeguarding of the assets of the Bank 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 Statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Statement, the Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Bank'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 Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Bank's financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' 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 this Statement.

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

·       Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, 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.

·       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 Bank has internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

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

·       Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors 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 Bank's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the Statement 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 auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Bank to cease to continue as a going concern.

·       Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

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.

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.

Other Matters

1.  The Statement includes the Standalone Financial Results of the Bank for the corresponding quarter and year ended March 31, 2023, which were audited by another auditors whose report dated ------May 05, 2023, expressed an unmodified opinion on those results.

2.  The Statement includes the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, being the balancing figure between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published unaudited year to date figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standard 25 "Interim Financial Reporting" which were subject to limited review by us.

Our opinion on the statement is not modified in respect of the above matters.

Management and Board of Directors' Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Results

The Statement which is the responsibility of the Bank's Management and approved by the Board of Directors, has been compiled from the Consolidated Audited Financial statements. The Bank's Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the net profit and other financial information of the Group including its associates in accordance with the Accounting Standard specified under section 133 of the Act read with Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021 to the extent applicable, the relevant provisions of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, RBI Guidelines and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with the Listing Regulations.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' 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 this Statement.

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

·    Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, 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.

·    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 Bank has internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

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

·    Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' 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 ability of the Group and of its associates to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the Statement 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 auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and of its associates to cease to continue as a going concern.

·    Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

·    Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within the Group and of its associates to express an opinion on the Statement.

We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Bank and such other entities included in the Statement of which we are the independent auditors 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.
