The facts
- Who files
- Every bank, on a solo basis; banks with subsidiaries, also on a consolidated basis; TLAC items apply only to banks the FSA designates as subject to TLAC regulation. Source
- How often
- Disclosed for the business year and, with fewer items, at the interim period; the quantitative tables show the current and previous quarter or business year side by side. Source
- Deadline
- Not stated in the documents read: the timing and method of disclosure are set by Banking Act Enforcement Regulation Article 19-2, which sits on the e-Gov law database and could not be read in this session. Source
- Format
- Other. Published by each bank itself (on its website or in a disclosure document), not filed to the FSA through a system; no fixed electronic file format for the disclosure was found in this session. Source
- How it is filed
- The format above is what the library records; what could not be verified is on the JFSA's page.
- Status
- In forceThe underlying Basel III finalisation standard was phased in: internationally active banks and domestic-standard banks using internal models applied it from 31 March 2024; other domestic-standard banks and final designated parent companies applied it from 31 March 2025 (early adoption from 31 March 2023 was allowed on notification to the FSA). All banks are on the current standard now. Source

This file lists the 11 whose content this session could confirm by reading the notice's cross-references between its articles and form numbers; the remaining forms (believed to cover further combinations of TLAC, consolidated and domestic standard disclosure) were not individually confirmed, and are not listed to avoid a wrong name (see gaps).

Validation rules
No published validation rules were found for this return. The notices are legal text defining what must be calculated and disclosed, not a published set of validation rules or a machine-readable schema. Source
Public data
Each firm publishes its own, on its website; the regulator does not collect it into one dataset. Each bank discloses its own capital composition, capital adequacy ratio, leverage ratio and (if TLAC-designated) TLAC figures, as required by this notice; there is no single FSA webpage collecting all banks' figures.
