The bank communicated this declaration to both the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited on April 08, 2026, through its Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, Sham K.

Regulatory Exemption Details

The bank's exemption is based on its classification as a Scheduled Commercial Bank, which provides relief from specific SEBI regulatory requirements. The exemption applies to the provisions outlined in SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/DDHS/P/CIR/2021/613 dated April 13, 2022.

Filing Requirements Not Applicable

Karnataka Bank confirmed that two key filing obligations under the SEBI circular do not apply to the institution:

• Initial disclosure requirements for Large Corporate Entities
• Annual disclosure requirements for Large Corporate Entities

The bank emphasized that these exemptions are specifically tied to its status as a Scheduled Commercial Bank, which falls outside the scope of the Large Corporate Entity framework established by SEBI.

The declaration was formally communicated to both major stock exchanges where Karnataka Bank is listed. The bank trades under the scrip code KTKBANK on NSE and 532652 on BSE. The communication was digitally signed and dated April 08, 2026, ensuring proper documentation and regulatory compliance.

This declaration provides clarity to investors and regulatory authorities regarding Karnataka Bank's compliance obligations, confirming that the institution remains exempt from specific Large Corporate Entity reporting requirements due to its banking sector classification.
