A balancing check across asset encumbrance and asset encumbrance: sources of encumbrance (F 36.01.a, F 36.02.a, F 32.04.b, row 0090, EBA rule v2933_m)

A warning in the asset encumbrance return (AE), on templates F 32.04.b, asset encumbrance: sources of encumbrance (b), F 36.01.a, asset encumbrance: Advance template for assets of the reporting institution (a) and F 36.02.a, asset encumbrance: Advance template for colllateral and own debt secrities issued other than covered bonds or ABSs (a).

The rule in plain words

Collateralised deposits other than repurchase agreements. encumbered assets, total plus collateralised deposits other than repurchase agreements. encumbered collateral received, total must equal collateralised deposits other than repurchase agreements, assets, collateral received and own debt securities issued other than covered bonds and securitisations encumbered minus central banks, assets, collateral received and own debt securities issued other than covered bonds and securitisations encumbered.

The headline gives only the kind of check and the template, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.
