We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of ING Vysya Bank Limited (`the

Cash Flow Statement annexed thereto for the year ended on that date. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank`s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in India. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statements presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The Balance Sheet and the Profit and Loss Account have been drawn up in
accordance with the provisions of Section 29 of the Banking Regulation Act,
1949 read with Section 211(1), (2) and (3C) of the Companies Act, 1956.

the exemption granted by the Reserve Bank of India to the Bank from
