As soon as practicable and in accordance with the procedure specified herein,

INR 70,000 per minimum Authorized Denomination
divided by
the Reference Rate
(and rounding, if necessary, the entire resulting figure to the nearest two

exchange rate for such date expressed as the amount of INR per one USD, for
settlement in two Fixing Business Days, reported by Financial Benchmarks
India, Private Ltd (the "FBIL") (https:www.fbil.org.in) on such Rate Fixing
Date at approximately 1:30 p.m. Mumbai time, or as soon as practicable
thereafter. If the Reference Rate does not appear on the FBIL's website
(https:www.fbil.org.in) or on any successor page on the Rate Fixing Date, then
the Reference Rate shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance
with the Fallback Provision.
"Rate Fixing Date" means the Scheduled Rate Fixing Date.
"Scheduled Rate Fixing Date" means the date which is five Fixing Business Days
prior to each Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, or such other date
on which an amount in respect of the Notes is due and payable, as the case may
be. If any Scheduled Rate Fixing Date is an Unscheduled Holiday (as defined
below), the relevant Rate Fixing Date shall be the next following relevant
Fixing Business Day, subject to the provisions in respect of any Unscheduled

commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for
general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency

market was not aware of such fact (by means of a public announcement or by
reference to other publicly available information) until a time later than
9:00 a.m. local time in Mumbai, two Fixing Business Days prior to the relevant
Rate Fixing Date.
Adjustments to Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date:
If a Scheduled Rate Fixing Date is adjusted in accordance with the Business

such Scheduled Rate Fixing Date shall be as soon as practicable, but in no
event later than two (2) Relevant Business Days after the date on which the
Reference Rate for such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date is determined.
If any Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date is adjusted in accordance with
the preceding sentence, then such adjustment (and the corresponding payment
obligations to be made on such dates) shall apply only to such Interest
Payment Date or Maturity Date and no further adjustment shall apply to the
amount of interest or principal payable.
In no event shall an adjustment of any Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date
in accordance with the preceding paragraphs result in such Interest Payment
Date or Maturity Date falling prior to the date on which such Interest Payment
Date or Maturity Date was originally due to fall or any further interest or
other additional payment in respect of any such adjustment.
Fallback Provision:
If the Reference Rate does not appear on the FBIL's website
(https:www.fbil.org.in) or on any successor page on the Rate Fixing Date, then
the Reference Rate for such Rate Fixing Date shall be determined by the
Calculation Agent by requesting quotations for the mid USD/INR spot foreign
exchange rate from five Reference Banks as selected by the Calculation Agent
at or about 1:30 p.m. Mumbai time on either (i) the first day (other than a
Saturday or a Sunday) following the Rate Fixing Date, if such day is a
Relevant Business Day, or (ii) if the first day (other than a Saturday or a
Sunday) following the Rate Fixing
Date is not a Relevant Business Day, the Rate Fixing Date.
If five or four quotations are provided as requested, the Reference Rate will
be the arithmetic mean (rounded to the nearest whole Indian Rupee, 0.05 being
rounded upwards) of the remaining three or two such quotations, as the case
may be, for such rate provided by the Reference Banks, after disregarding the
highest such quotation and the lowest such quotation (provided that, if two or
more such quotations are the highest such quotations, then only one of such
quotations shall be disregarded, and if one or more such quotations are the
lowest quotations, then only one of such lowest quotations will be
disregarded).
If only three or two such quotations are provided as requested, the Reference
Rate shall be determined as described above except that the highest and lowest
quotations will not be disregarded.
If only one or no such quotations are provided as requested, or if the
Calculation Agent determines in its sole discretion that no suitable Reference
Banks active in the USD/INR currency or foreign exchange markets will provide
quotes, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to calculate the Reference
Rate acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, having
taken into account relevant market practice, by reference to such additional
sources as it deems appropriate; and in such case the Calculation Agent shall
notify the Issuer and the Global Agent as soon as reasonably practicable that
the Reference Rate is to be so determined.

"Calculation Agent" means Bank of America, N.A., or its duly appointed
successor.
"Deferral Period for Unscheduled Holiday" means that in the event any
Scheduled Rate Fixing Date is postponed due to the occurrence of an
Unscheduled Holiday, and if the Rate Fixing Date in respect thereof has not
occurred on or before the 14th calendar day after the Scheduled Rate Fixing

Deferral Period that would have been a Fixing Business Day but for the
Unscheduled Holiday, shall be deemed to be the Rate Fixing Date.

regularly deal in the INR/USD exchange market, as selected by the Calculation
Agent in its sole discretion, acting in good faith and in a commercially
reasonable manner

divided by
the Reference Rate
(and rounding, if necessary, the entire resulting figure to the nearest 2
decimal places, with USD 0.005 being rounded upwards).

interest shall be payable in respect of such period of postponement following
the scheduled Maturity Date.

General Information
Additional Information regarding the Notes
1. Matters relating to UK MiFIR
The Bank does not fall under the scope of application of the UK MiFIR
regime. Consequently, the Bank does not qualify as an "investment firm",
"manufacturer" or "distributor" for the purposes of UK MiFIR.
UK MiFIR product governance / Professional investors and ECPs target market -
Solely for the purposes of the UK manufacturer's product approval process, the
target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion
that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties, as
defined in COBS, and professional clients, as defined in UK MiFIR; and (ii)
all channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person
subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor")
should take into consideration the UK manufacturer's target market assessment;
however, a distributor subject to the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules is
responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the
Notes (by either adopting or refining the UK manufacturer's target market
assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
For the purposes of this provision, (i) the expression "UK manufacturer" means
the Dealer, (ii) the expression "COBS" means the FCA Handbook Conduct of
Business Sourcebook, (iii) the expression "UK MiFIR" means Regulation (EU) No
600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA and (iv)
the expression "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules" means the FCA Handbook
Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook.
2. The language set out under the heading "Use of Proceeds" in
the Prospectus shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
"The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be
included in the ordinary capital resources of the Bank and, will not be
committed or earmarked for lending to, or financing of, any specific loans,
projects or programs. The Bank, in partnership with its member countries,
works to reduce poverty and inequalities in Latin America and the Caribbean by
promoting economic and social development in a sustainable, climate friendly
way.
The Bank's strategic priorities include social
inclusion and equality, productivity and innovation and economic integration
along with three cross-cutting issues: gender equality and diversity, climate
change and environmental sustainability, and institutional capacity and the
rule of law. Each strategic priority of the Bank aligns to at least one of
the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals ("SDGs"), with all goals
covered within the Bank's institutional strategy, which may be adapted from
time to time should the United Nations SDGs definition evolve.
All projects undertaken by the Bank go through the
Bank's rigorous sustainability framework. The framework tracks measurable
results, adherence to lending targets and the effectiveness of its
environmental and social safeguards. The Bank's administrative and operating
expenses are currently covered entirely by the Bank's various sources of
revenue, consisting primarily of net interest margin and investment income (as
more fully described in the Bank's Information Statement, which may be
accessed as described under the heading "Availability of Information and
Incorporation by Reference" in the Prospectus)."
3. Additional Investment Considerations:
The Notes offered by this Pricing Supplement are complex financial instruments
and may not be suitable for certain investors. Investors intending to purchase
the Notes should consult with their tax and financial advisors to ensure that
the intended purchase meets the investment objective before making such
purchase.
There are various risks associated with the Notes including, but not limited
to, exchange rate risk, price risk and liquidity risk. Investors should
consult with their own financial, legal and accounting advisors about the
risks associated with an investment in these Notes, the appropriate tools to
analyze that investment, and the suitability of the investment in each
investor's particular circumstances. Holders of the Notes should also
consult with their professional tax advisors regarding tax laws applicable to
them.
Payment of each Interest Amount and the Redemption
Amount will be based on the Reference Rate, which is a measure of the rate of
exchange between the Indian Rupee and the USD. Currency exchange rates are
volatile and will affect the holder's return. In addition, the government of
India can from time to time intervene in the foreign exchange market. These
interventions or other governmental actions could adversely affect the value
of the Notes, as well as the yield (in USD terms) on the Notes and the amount
payable at maturity or upon acceleration. Even in the absence of
governmental action directly affecting currency exchange rates, political or
economic developments in India or elsewhere could lead to significant and
sudden changes in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and the USD.
The Indian Rupee is an emerging market currency.
Emerging market currencies may be subject to particularly substantial
volatility, as well as to government actions including currency controls,
devaluations and other matters which could materially and adversely affect the
value of the Notes.
The methodologies for determining the Reference Rate may result in a
Redemption Amount (or Early Redemption Amount, as the case may be) of the
Notes, or an Interest Amount on the Notes, being significantly less than
anticipated or less than what an alternative methodology for determining the
INR-USD exchange rate would yield.
4. United Stated Federal Income Tax Matters:
The following supplements the discussion under the "Tax
Matters" section of the Prospectus regarding the U.S. federal income tax
treatment of the Notes, and is subject to the limitations and exceptions set
forth therein. Any tax disclosure in the Prospectus or this Pricing
Supplement is of a general nature only, is not exhaustive of all possible tax
considerations and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be,
legal, business or tax advice to any particular prospective investor. Each
prospective investor should consult its own tax advisor as to the particular
tax consequences to it of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of the
Notes, including the effects of applicable U.S. federal, state, and local tax
laws and non-U.S. tax laws and possible changes in tax laws.
Because the Notes are denominated in the Indian Rupee, a United States holder
of the Notes will generally be subject to special United States federal income
tax rules governing foreign currency transactions, as described in the
Prospectus in the last four paragraphs of "-Payments of Interest" under the
"United States Holders" section. Pursuant to such rules, a United States
holder should determine amounts received with respect to a Note (including
principal and interest) by reference to the U.S. dollar value of the Indian
Rupee amount of the payment, calculated at the currency exchange rate in
effect on the date of payment. The U.S. dollar amount that is actually
received by the United States holder may differ from the amount determined
under the preceding sentence, since the U.S. dollar amount of the payment will
be determined by reference to the Reference Rate as of the relevant Rate
Fixing Date. Accordingly, a United States holder of the Notes may recognize
United States source foreign currency gain or loss in an amount equal to such
difference (in addition to any foreign currency gain or loss otherwise
recognized upon the receipt of an interest payment or a sale or retirement of
the Notes). The U.S. Internal Revenue Service could take the position,
however, that the amounts received by a United States holder in respect of a
Note should be equal to the U.S. dollar amount that is actually received by
the United States holder. Prospective United States holders of the Notes
should consult their tax advisors regarding these rules.
In addition, it is possible that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service could
assert that the Notes should be treated as issued with original issue discount
("OID") for United States federal income tax purposes because it is possible
that an interest payment on the Notes could be deferred beyond one year due to
the Business Day Convention. If so treated, then a United States holder that
is otherwise subject to the cash basis method of accounting for tax purposes
will be required to accrue the interest payments on the Notes in ordinary
income. We intend to take the position that the Notes should not be treated as
issued with OID for United States federal income tax purposes.
