Introduction - Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) Guidelines
ICAAP  is  understood  as  bank’s internal  assessment  of  capital  that  it  considers  adequate to cover all material risks to which it is exposed. The scope and coverage of ICAAP is much beyond the Pillar 1 in the sense that it notonly covers the Pillar 1 risks  (credit  risk,  market  risk  &  operational risk)  but  also encompasses  all  material  risks. 

ICAAP is a set of policies, methodologies, techniques and procedures to assess the capital adequacy requirements in relation to the bank’s risk profile and effectiveness of  its  risk  management,  control environment  and  strategic  planning. This  includes 
basic  requirements  to  have  robust  governance  arrangements,  efficient  process  of  managing  all  materia risks  and an  effective  regime  for  assessing  and  maintaining adequate capital.  

ICAAP  should  be  all  encompassing  process  taking  into  account  all  those  risk  areas  which are not reasonably addressed under Pillar 1 of Base l II, while evaluating credit, market, and operational risks; and all those risks factors which are not covered under Pillar  1  process.  ICAAP  should  also  capture  the  impact  of external  business  and  economic environment.

ICAAP  is  understood  as  bank’sinternal  assessment  of  capital  that  it  considers  adequate  to  cover  all material  risks  to  which  it  is  exposed.  The  objective  is  to  determine  the  economic  capital  required  to cover  all  risks  faced.  While  Regulatory  Capital  is  the  capital  that the  regulator  requires  a  bank  to  maintain  where  as  economic  capital  is  the  capital  that  a  bank  needs  to  maintain  and  is,  in  general, estimated using internal risk models
