Axis Bank's capital adequacy ratio is a crucial indicator of the bank's financial health.

The bank's capital adequacy ratio was 13.98% as of March 2020, exceeding the regulatory requirement of 9% set by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

This ratio measures the bank's ability to absorb potential losses and maintain stability.

Axis Bank has consistently maintained a high capital adequacy ratio, indicating its robust financial position.

Well-Capitalized with Self-Sustaining Structure; Adequate Liquidity Buffers

Axis Bank's capital adequacy ratio (CAR) is a strong 17.64% as of FY23, with a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET-1) ratio of 14.02%. This is a testament to the bank's well-capitalized status.

The bank's self-sustaining capital structure is a key factor in its stability, with a net accretion to CET-1 of 69 bps in FY23. This means that the bank's capital base is strong enough to absorb potential losses.

A significant portion of the bank's COVID provisions, amounting to ₹5,012 crores, is not considered in the CAR calculation, providing a cushion of 51 bps over the reported CAR. This is a prudent measure to ensure the bank's financial health.
