Capital position
Guidance & Outlook
5
Management will publish consolidated Pillar 3 disclosures (leverage ratio, LCR, NSFR) on the Bank website; these disclosures may influence investor assessment of liquidity and leverage metrics in coming quarters
Bank continues to monitor and will assess final Central/State Rules for the New Labour Codes and may provide further accounting effects as rules are finalised, implying potential incremental employee cost volatility
No incremental guidance on NII or margins was provided in the release, but management highlighted continued focus on retail & SME growth and fee income expansion to support revenue diversification
Capital and reserves remain strong with consolidated reserves and minority interest of ₹586,807.05 Cr as at Dec 31, 2025, supporting organic growth and buffer for provisioning volatility
Group will continue to monitor insurance subsidiaries (HDFC Life and HDFC ERGO) performance and actuarial assumptions, which will materially affect consolidated results going forward
