Each period from and including each Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date to but excluding the next following Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date, provided that the initial Interest Period will commence on and include the Interest Commencement Date, and the final Interest Period will end on but exclude the Maturity Date.

For the purposes of the calculation of the Interest Amount payable for any Interest Period, there shall be no adjustment pursuant to the Business Day Convention specified below.

As soon as practicable and in accordance with the procedure specified herein, the Calculation Agent will determine the Reference Rate (as defined below) and calculate the Interest Amount with respect to each minimum Authorized Denomination for the relevant Interest Period.

The Interest Amount with respect to each Interest Period shall be a USD amount calculated on the relevant Rate Fixing Date (as defined below) as follows:

INR 70,000 per minimum Authorized Denomination

     multiplied by

the Fixed Rate Day Count Fraction

      divided by

the Reference Rate

 



(and rounding, if necessary, the entire resulting figure to the nearest two decimal places, with USD 0.005 being rounded upwards).

The "Reference Rate" means in respect of a Rate Fixing Date, the USD/INR spot exchange rate for such date expressed as the amount of INR per one USD, for settlement in two Fixing Business Days, reported by Financial Benchmarks India, Private Ltd (the "FBIL") (https:www.fbil.org.in) on such Rate Fixing Date at approximately 1:30 p.m. Mumbai time, or as soon as practicable thereafter.  If the Reference Rate does not appear on the FBIL's website (https:www.fbil.org.in) or on any successor page on the Rate Fixing Date, then the Reference Rate shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the Fallback Provision.

"Rate Fixing Date" means the Scheduled Rate Fixing Date.

"Scheduled Rate Fixing Date" means the date which is five Fixing Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, or such other date on which an amount in respect of the Notes is due and payable, as the case may be.  If any Scheduled Rate Fixing Date is an Unscheduled Holiday (as defined below), the relevant Rate Fixing Date shall be the next following relevant Fixing Business Day, subject to the provisions in respect of any Unscheduled Holiday set out below under "Deferral Period for Unscheduled Holiday".

"Fixing Business Day" means a day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in Mumbai.

 



"Unscheduled Holiday" means a day that is not a Fixing Business Day and the market was not aware of such fact (by means of a public announcement or by reference to other publicly available information) until a time later than 9:00 a.m. local time in Mumbai, two Fixing Business Days prior to the relevant Rate Fixing Date.

Adjustments to Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date:

If a Scheduled Rate Fixing Date is adjusted in accordance with the Business Day Convention, then the Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date relating to such Scheduled Rate Fixing Date shall be as soon as practicable, but in no event later than two (2) Relevant Business Days after the date on which the Reference Rate for such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date is determined.

If any Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date is adjusted in accordance with the preceding sentence, then such adjustment (and the corresponding payment obligations to be made on such dates) shall apply only to such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date and no further adjustment shall apply to the amount of interest or principal payable.

In no event shall an adjustment of any Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date in accordance with the preceding paragraphs result in such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date falling prior to the date on which such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date was originally due to fall or any further interest or other additional payment in respect of any such adjustment.

Fallback Provision:

If the Reference Rate does not appear on the FBIL's website (https:www.fbil.org.in) or on

 



any successor page on the Rate Fixing Date, then the Reference Rate for such Rate Fixing Date shall be determined by the Calculation Agent by requesting quotations for the mid USD/INR spot foreign exchange rate from five Reference Banks as selected by the Calculation Agent at or about 1:30 p.m. Mumbai time on either (i) the first day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) following the Rate Fixing Date, if such day is a Relevant Business Day, or (ii) if the first day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) following the Rate Fixing Date is not a Relevant Business Day, the Rate Fixing Date.

If five or four quotations are provided as requested, the Reference Rate will be the arithmetic mean (rounded to the nearest whole Indian Rupee, 0.5 being rounded upwards) of the remaining three or two such quotations, as the case may be, for such rate provided by the Reference Banks, after disregarding the highest such quotation and the lowest such quotation (provided that, if two or more such quotations are the highest such quotations, then only one of such quotations shall be disregarded, and if one or more such quotations are the lowest quotations, then only one of such lowest quotations will be disregarded).

If only three or two such quotations are provided as requested, the Reference Rate shall be determined as described above except that the highest and lowest quotations will not be disregarded.

If only one or no such quotations are provided as requested, or if the Calculation Agent determines in its sole discretion that no suitable Reference Banks active in the USD/INR currency or foreign exchange markets will provide quotes, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to calculate the Reference Rate acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, having

 



taken into account relevant market practice, by reference to such additional sources as it deems appropriate; and in such case the Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuer and the Global Agent as soon as reasonably practicable that the Reference Rate is to be so determined.

Where:

"Calculation Agent" means Citibank N.A. or its duly appointed successor.

"Deferral Period for Unscheduled Holiday" means that in the event any Scheduled Rate Fixing Date is postponed due to the occurrence of an Unscheduled Holiday, and if the Rate Fixing Date in respect thereof has not occurred on or before the 14th calendar day after the Scheduled Rate Fixing Date (any such period being a "Deferral Period"), then the next day after the Deferral Period that would have been a Fixing Business Day but for the Unscheduled Holiday, shall be deemed to be the Rate Fixing Date.

General Information

Additional Information regarding the Notes

1.         Matters relating to UK MiFIR

The Bank does not fall under the scope of application of the UK MiFIR regime.  Consequently, the Bank does not qualify as an "investment firm", "manufacturer" or "distributor" for the purposes of UK MiFIR.

UK MiFIR product governance / Professional investors and ECPs target market - Solely for the purposes of the UK manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties, as defined in COBS, and professional clients, as defined in UK MiFIR; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the UK manufacturer's target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the UK manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

For the purposes of this provision, (i) the expression "UK manufacturer" means the Dealer, (ii) the expression "COBS" means the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook, (iii) the expression "UK MiFIR" means Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA and (iv) the expression "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules" means the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook.

2.         Additional Investment Considerations

 

The Notes offered by this Pricing Supplement are complex financial instruments and may not be suitable for certain investors. Investors intending to purchase the Notes should consult with their tax and financial advisors to ensure that the intended purchase meets the investment objective before making such purchase.

There are various risks associated with the Notes including, but not limited to, exchange rate risk, price risk and liquidity risk. Investors should consult with their own financial, legal and accounting advisors about the risks associated with an investment in these Notes, the appropriate tools to analyze that investment, and the suitability of the investment in each investor's particular circumstances.  Holders of the Notes should also consult with their professional tax advisors regarding tax laws applicable to them. 

            Payment of each Interest Amount and the Redemption Amount will be based on the Reference Rate, which is a measure of the rate of exchange between the Indian Rupee and the USD.  Currency exchange rates are volatile and will affect the holder's return.  In addition, the government of India can from time to time intervene in the foreign exchange market.  These interventions or other governmental actions could adversely affect the value of the Notes, as well as the yield (in USD terms) on the Notes and the amount payable at maturity or upon acceleration.  Even in the absence of governmental action directly affecting currency exchange rates, political or economic developments in India or elsewhere could lead to significant and sudden changes in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and the USD.

 

            The Indian Rupee is an emerging market currency.  Emerging market currencies may be subject to particularly substantial volatility, as well as to government actions including currency controls, devaluations and other matters which could materially and adversely affect the value of the Notes.

 

The methodologies for determining the Reference Rate may result in a Redemption Amount (or Early Redemption Amount, as the case may be) of the Notes, or an Interest Amount on the Notes, being significantly less than anticipated or less than what an alternative methodology for determining the INR-USD exchange rate would yield.

3.         United States Federal Income Tax Matters

 

            The following supplements the discussion under the "Tax Matters" section of the Prospectus regarding the United States federal income tax treatment of the Notes, and is subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth therein.  Any tax disclosure in the Prospectus or this Pricing Supplement is of a general nature only, is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal, business or tax advice to any particular prospective investor.  Each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences to it of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of the Notes, including the effects of applicable United States federal, state, and local tax laws and non-U.S. tax laws and possible changes in tax laws.

 

Because the Notes are denominated in the Indian Rupee, a United States holder of the Notes will generally be subject to special United States federal income tax rules governing foreign currency transactions, as described in the Prospectus in the last four paragraphs of "-Payments of Interest" under the "United States Holders" section.  Pursuant to such rules, a United States holder should determine amounts received with respect to a Note (including principal and interest) by reference to the U.S. dollar value of the Indian Rupee amount of the payment, calculated at the currency exchange rate in effect on the date of payment.  The U.S. dollar amount that is actually received by the United States holder may differ from the amount determined under the preceding sentence, since the U.S. dollar amount of the payment will be determined by reference to the Reference Rate as of the relevant Rate Fixing Date.  Accordingly, a United States holder of the Notes may recognize United States source foreign currency gain or loss in an amount equal to such difference (in addition to any foreign currency gain or loss otherwise recognized upon the receipt of an interest payment or a sale or retirement of the Notes).  The U.S. Internal Revenue Service could take the position, however, that the amounts received by a United States holder in respect of a Note should be equal to the U.S. dollar amount that is actually received by the United States holder. Prospective United States holders of the Notes should consult their tax advisors regarding these rules.
