ANNEX A
NOTES BEING ISSUED AS GREEN BONDS

This Annex A supplements and amends the Offering Circular dated May 17, 2016 (the Offering
Circular), in particular the disclosure under "Risk Factors" and "Use of Proceeds", and should be read in
conjunction with the Offering Circular. Terms defined in the Offering Circular have the same meanings
herein.

This Annex A is in connection with the Notes being offered as "green bonds", meaning those in
alignment with the pre-issuance requirements of the Climate Bonds Standard Version 2.0 issued by the
Climate Bond Initiative (Green Bonds). In that regard, KPMG India (KPMG) has issued an independent
limited assurance statement (the Assurance Report) and the Climate Bond Initiative has issued a certificate
that the issue of the Notes has met the relevant criteria set by the Climate Bonds Standard Board (the CBI
Certificate), in each case with respect to the Bank's Green Bond Framework (as defined and described in
further detail below).

ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS

The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors seeking exposure to green assets.
At the Bank's request, KPMG India has issued the Assurance Report and the Climate Bond Initiative has
issued the CBI Certificate, in each case with respect to the Banks's Green Bond Framework. Neither of the
Assurance Report or the CBI Certificate is incorporated into, nor does either form part of, the Offering
Circular. Neither the Bank nor the Joint Lead Managers make any representation as to the suitability of the
Assurance Report or the CBI Certificate. Neither of the Assurance Report or the CBI Certificate is a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and each is only current as of the respective date that it was
initially issued. The Bank has agreed to certain reporting and use of proceeds obligations as described herein;
however, it will not be an Event of Default under the Terms and Conditions of the Notes if the Bank fails to
comply with such obligations. A withdrawal of the Assurance Report or the CBI Certificate may affect the
value of the Notes and may have consequences for certain investors with portfolio mandates to invest in
green assets.

THE BANK'S GREEN BOND FRAMEWORK

Green Bond Framework Overview
The Bank's green bond framework sets out how the Bank proposes to raise Green Bonds and to use
the proceeds of those issuances to invest in renewable energy, urban mass transport and energy efficient
buildings in a manner that is consistent with the Bank's sustainable values (the Green Bond Framework).

The Green Bond Framework is established in accordance with the Climate Bonds Standard version
2.0. This framework also adheres to the Green Bond Principles, 2015 issued by the International Capital
Markets Association (ICMA). The Bank has addressed the four pillars of ICMA's Green Bond Principles
and is committed to annual reporting on the use of proceeds for the lifetime of any bond issued under the
Green Bond Framework, including the Notes offered hereby.
The Bank's Sustainability Values
Sustainability is an integral part of the Bank's ethos. The Bank believes in creating value for all its
stakeholders while contributing to environmental sustainability and societal development. In 2014, the Bank
developed a sustainability framework, which integrates stakeholder focus into the Bank's long term vision
and strategy. This sustainability framework is built on five pillars:

(1) Customers ­ to consistently enhance customer service by focusing on customer experience,
innovation and quality assurance to deliver superior "Axis Experience".

(2) Shareholders and Providers of Capital ­ to actively engage with shareholders and
providers of capital to create value.

(3) People ­ to create and a sustain diverse work culture through improving organisational
effectiveness, providing a safe and ethical work environment and maintaining stability and
sustainability amidst the rapidly changing business environment and growth.

(4) Environment ­ to promote environmental sustainability and equitable growth through
sustainable lending practices and to reduce any environment impact due to the Bank's operations
by actively managing the Bank's environmental footprint and supporting customers in making
"green banking" choices.



4






(5) Communities ­ to create and sustain a mechanism that will propagate sustainable livelihoods
and contribution back to society across various segments.

Selection and Evaluation of Eligible Green Projects
The Bank's Corporate Credit Group will perform the credit assessment and due diligence of Eligible
Green Projects. For any Eligible Green Projects as described above under "Use of Proceeds", the Corporate
Credit Group wil also undertake a preliminary assessment of projects on the basis of the Bank's Green Bond
Framework criteria. If the criteria are met, the respective project or asset, as the case may be, will be
nominated for allocation of proceeds pursuant to the Green Bond Framework.

A Green Bond Committee has been established to approve the nomination made by the Corporate
Credit Group. The Green Bond Committee consists of the Head of Treasury, the Head of ALM/ Funding, the
Head of the Ethics and Sustainability Department and the Head of the Sustainable Lending in the Corporate
Credit Group. Each project requires sign-off from all committee members to be considered eligible for
allocation of proceeds pursuant to the Green Bond Framework.

Earmarking of Funds
The Bank will maintain a dedicated register for tracking the use of proceeds for the issue of the
Notes. Any unallocated proceeds will be invested in money market instruments, treasury bills and
government securities.

Reporting
The Bank will report the use of proceeds for the issue of the Notes through a separate section in the
Annual Sustainability Report, which is published on the Bank's website.

Assurance
The Bank's Green Bond Framework has been reviewed by KPMG and certified by the Climate Bond
Initiative for the issue of the Notes. Post issuance, KPMG will provide assurance that Eligible Green Projects
continue to be in alignment with the Green Bond Framework. In addition to the Notes, any subsequent green
bonds issued will also undergo the same selection and nomination process and be verified by the relevant
committees. The Bank will also receive post-issuance certification from the Climate Bonds Initiative to
assure continued adherence to the Green Bond Framework. This post issuance certification by the Climate
Bond Initiative is expected to be obtained within one year after issuance of the Notes and will be published
on the Bank's website.
