AUDIT RTP NOV 2026 MCQ 7
A bank proposes to shift certain Government securities from the “Available for Sale” (AFS) category to the “Held to Maturity” (HTM) category. The securities satisfy the conditions for classification as HTM, and the ALCO has approved the proposed shift. However, no approval of the Board of Directors has been obtained. The management contends that the absence of Board approval should not affect the classification since the securities otherwise qualify for HTM. Which of the following is the most appropriate treatment?
(a) The securities may be classified as HTM, since compliance with the eligibility conditions for HTM is the primary requirement and the approval of ALCO provides adequate internal authorisation for the transfer.
(b) The securities cannot be transferred to HTM merely on the basis of ALCO approval, since the prescribed approval requirements for such transfer must be complied with in addition to the eligibility conditions for HTM classification.
(c) The securities may be classified as HTM if the bank discloses the absence of Board approval and demonstrates that its intention to hold the securities until maturity existed at the time of their original acquisition.
(d) The securities should continue to be classified as AFS only for the year of transfer and may thereafter be classified as HTM once the Board subsequently approves the transfer.

Answer: A
Why it's a trap:There are two steps students miss. First, NCI is derecognised along with the net assets, so Narmada gives up only ₹820 lakh (1,000 − 180), not ₹1,000 lakh. Second, the parent's FCTR is reclassified from OCI to profit or loss on losing control. Gain = 1,200 − 820 + 120 = ₹500 lakh. The NCI's ₹30 lakh is not recycled separately, because it already sits inside the ₹180 lakh. B ignores both steps, C forgets the FCTR, and D forgets the NCI.
Why it's a trap:
