Dear Sirs

Ref: Clarification on Media Report

IBN ICICI Bank Limited (the ‘Company’) Report on Form 6-K

On behalf of the Company, I am enclosing for filing, one manually executed copy of the Company’s Report on Form 6 K dated March 14, 2013 with regards to clarification on media report. ICICI Bank Limited (NYSE: IBN) refers to the allegations that have appeared in the media of statutory and regulatory violations (including of anti-money laundering regulations) by ICICI Bank and certain other Indian banks. ICICI Bank and its subsidiaries conduct their business with the highest level of compliance to legal and regulatory requirements. All employees are trained and required to adhere strictly to the Group Code of Conduct, including anti-money laundering and know-your-customer norms. We have demonstrated our commitment to this by following a zero tolerance policy towards any violation.

We are deeply concerned with the media reports. We want to assure our customers and all stakeholders that we are committed towards adherence to the high standards of business conduct, which is expected of us. We have constituted a high level inquiry committee to investigate into the matter and submit its findings in two weeks.


Please take the above information on record.


Yours  faithfully
For ICICI Bank Limited



Shanthi Venkatesan
Deputy General Manager
