1 min readSwitched off by EBA on 17 March 2026EBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Total cannot be less than the sum of nine rows (EBA rule v89328_m)

A check in the environmental, social and governance risks return (ESG), on templates D 01.00, banking book- Indicators of potential climate change transition risk: credit quality of exposures by sector, emissions and residual maturity and D 05.00.a, banking book - Indicators of potential climate change physical risk: exposures subject to physical risk (I).

EBA switched this rule off for filings submitted from 17 March 2026, in a quarterly update to its list of validation rules. It no longer applies, so a failure here does not count, and Line4 Check does not run it.

The rule in plain words

Total cannot be less than these nine added up:

  • Mining and quarrying
  • Real estate activities
  • Construction
  • Water supply; sewerage, waste management and remediation activities
  • Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply
  • Manufacturing
  • Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles
  • Transportation and storage
  • Agriculture, forestry and fishing

All the values are in the gross carrying amount (Mln EUR) column (0010).

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
