    SBI and ICICI Bank classified as Domestic Systemically Important Banks

    The RBI has classified SBI and ICICI Bank as Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs). Consecutively, the additional Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) requirement as a percentage of Risk Weighted Assets (RWAs) will be 0.6% for SBI and 0.2% for ICICI Bank.

    The additional capital requirement will be applicable from April 1, 2016 in a phased manner and would become fully effective from April 1, 2019. The additional CET1 requirement will be in addition to the capital conservation buffer.

    Moreover, in case a foreign bank having branch presence in India is a Global Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB), it has to maintain additional CET1 capital surcharge in India as applicable to it as a G-SIB, proportionate to its RWAs in India.
