Provisions are recognized only when there is apresent obligation, as a result of past events, andwhen a reliable estimate of the amount of obligationcan be made at the reporting date. These estimatesare reviewed at each reporting date and adjustedto reflect the current best estimates. Provisions arediscounted to their present values, where the timevalue of money is material.
Contingent liability is disclosed for:
a) Possible obligations which will be confirmedonly by future events not wholly within thecontrol of the Company or
b) Present obligations arising from past eventswhere it is not probable that an outflow ofresources will be required to settle the obligationor a reliable estimate of the amount of theobligation cannot be made.
x. LeasesCompany as a lessee
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contractconveys the right to control the use of an identifiedasset for a period of time, the lease term, in exchangefor consideration. The Company assesses whether acontract is, or contains, a lease on inception.
The lease term is either the non-cancellable periodof the lease and any additional periods when thereis an enforceable option to extend the lease and itis reasonably certain that the Company will extendthe term, or a lease period in which it is reasonably
certain that the Company will not exercise a right toterminate. The lease term is reassessed if there is asignificant change in circumstances.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and alease liability at the lease commencement date. Theright-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, whichcomprises the initial amount of the lease liabilityadjusted for any lease payments made at or beforethe commencement date, plus any initial directcosts incurred.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated from thecommencement date on a straight-line basis overthe shorter of the lease term and useful life of theunderlying asset.
The lease liability is initially measured at thepresent value of the total lease payments due onthe commencement date, discounted using eitherthe interest rate implicit in the lease, if readilydeterminable, or more usually, an estimate of theCompany’s incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of thelease liability comprise the following:
a) fixed payments, including payments which aresubstantively fixed;
b) variable lease payments that depend on arate, initially measured using the rate as atthe commencement.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost usingthe effective interest method. It is remeasured whenthere is a change in future lease payments arisingfrom a change in a rate, if the Company changes itsassessment of whether it will exercise a purchase,extension or termination option or if there is a revised in¬substance fixed lease payment. When the lease liabilityis remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustmentis made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use assetor is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount ofthe right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
As permitted by Ind AS 116, the Company does notrecognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilitiesfor leases of low-value assets and short-termleases. Payments associated with these leases arerecognized as an expense on a straight-line basisover the lease term.
xi. Financial instruments
A Financial instrument is any contract that givesrise to a financial asset of one entity and a financialliability or equity instrument of another entity.
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities arerecognised when the Company becomes a party tothe contractual provisions of the financial instrumentand are measured initially at fair value adjustedfor transaction costs. Subsequent measurementof financial assets and financial liabilities isdescribed below.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company enters into derivative financialinstruments to manage its exposure to interestrate and foreign exchange rate risks through crosscurrency interest rate swaps.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at thedate the derivative contracts are entered into and aresubsequently remeasured to their fair value at the endof each reporting period. The resulting gain or lossis recognised in profit or loss immediately unless thederivative is designated and effective as a hedginginstrument, in which event the timing of the recognitionin profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedgingrelationship and the nature of the hedged item.
Hedge accounting
The Company designates certain hedginginstruments, which include derivatives in respect offoreign currency risk, as cash flow hedge.
At the inception of the hedge relationship, theentity documents the relationship between thehedging instrument and the hedged item, alongwith its risk management objectives and its strategyfor undertaking various hedge transactions.Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and onan ongoing basis, the Company documents whetherthe hedging instrument is highly effective in offsettingchanges in fair values or cash flows of the hedgeditem attributable to the hedged risk.
Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of changes in the fair value ofderivatives that are designated and qualify as cashflow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive
income and accumulated under the heading of cashflow hedge reserve. The gain or loss relating to theineffective portion is recognised immediately in“statement of profit and loss”.
Amounts previously recognised in othercomprehensive income and accumulated in equityrelating to (effective portion as described above)are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods whenthe hedged item affects profit or loss, in the sameline as the recognised hedged item. However,when the hedged forecast transaction results in therecognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financialliability, such gains and losses are transferred fromequity (but not as a reclassification adjustment) andincluded in the initial measurement of the cost of thenon-financial asset or non-financial liability.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when thehedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, orexercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedgeaccounting. Any gain or loss recognised in othercomprehensive income and accumulated in equity atthat time remains in equity and is recognised whenthe forecast transaction is ultimately recognised inprofit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longerexpected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated inother equity is recognised immediately in statementof profit and loss.
Subsequent measurement
a financial asset is measured at the amortisedcost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business modelwhose objective is to hold assets forcollecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise onspecified dates to cash flows that are solelypayments of principal and interest (SPPI)on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assetsare subsequently measured at amortised costusing the effective interest rate (EIR) method.Amortised cost is calculated by taking intoaccount any discount or premium on acquisitionand fees or costs that are an integral part of the
EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in interestincome in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
ii. Financial assets carried at fair value throughother comprehensive income - a financialasset is measured at fair value, with changes infair value being carried to other comprehensiveincome, if both the following conditions are met:
a) the financial asset is held within a businessmodel whose objective is achieved byboth collecting contractual cash flows andselling financial assets, and
De-recognition of financial assets
Financial assets (or where applicable, a part offinancial asset or part of a group of similar financialassets) are derecognised (i.e. removed from theCompany’s balance sheet) when the contractualrights to receive the cash flows from the financialasset have expired, or when the financial asset andsubstantially all the risks and rewards are transferred.Further, if the Company has not retained control, itshall also derecognise the financial asset andrecognise separately as assets or liabilities any rightsand obligations created or retained in the transfer.
Non-derivative financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities - Subsequent measurement
Subsequent to initial recognition, all non-derivativefinancial liabilities, except compulsorily convertiblepreference shares, are measured at amortised costusing the effective interest method.
De-recognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is de-recognised when theobligation under the liability is discharged orcancelled or expired. When an existing financialliability is replaced by another from the same lender onsubstantially different terms, or the terms of an existingliability are substantially modified, such an exchangeor modification is treated as the de-recognition of theoriginal liability and the recognition of a new liability.The difference in the respective carrying amounts isrecognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
First loss default guarantee contracts are contractsthat require the Company to make specified paymentsto reimburse the bank and financial institution fora loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails tomake payments when due, in accordance with theterms of a debt instrument. Such financial guaranteesare given to banks and financial institutions, for whomthe Company acts as ‘Business Correspondent’ oravails any facilities like Term Loans, Securitizationtransactions etc. Any amounts forfeited by the banksor financial institutions on account of any paymentfailure will be adjusted in the books accordingly.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset andthe net amount is reported in the balance sheet ifthere is a currently enforceable legal right to offsetthe recognised amounts and there is an intention tosettle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settlethe liabilities simultaneously.
The Company reports basic and diluted earningsper share in accordance with Ind AS 33 on Earningsper share. Basic earnings per share is calculatedby dividing the net profit or loss for the periodattributable to equity shareholders (after deductingattributable taxes) by the weighted average numberof equity shares outstanding during the period.The weighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the period is adjusted for eventsincluding a bonus issue.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings pershare, the net profit or loss for the period attributableto equity shareholders and the weighted averagenumber of shares outstanding during the period areadjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equityshares including the treasury shares held by theCompany to satisfy the exercise of the share optionsby the employees. Dilutive potential equity sharesare deemed converted as of the beginning of theperiod, unless they have been issued at a later date.In computing the dilutive earnings per share, onlypotential equity shares that are dilutive and that eitherreduces the earnings per share or increases loss pershare are included.
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statement of theCompany are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entityoperates (‘the functional currency’).
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated intothe functional currency, by applying the exchangerates on the foreign currency amounts at the dateof the transaction. Foreign currency monetary itemsoutstanding at the balance sheet date are convertedto functional currency using the closing rate. Non¬monetary items denominated in a foreign currencywhich are carried at historical cost are reported usingthe exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on monetary items onsettlement, or restatement as at reporting date, atrates different from those at which they were initiallyrecorded, are recognized in the Statement of Profitand Loss in the year in which they arise.
The preparation of the Company’s financial statementsrequires management to make judgements, estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofrevenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the relateddisclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Significant management judgements
Recognition of deferred tax assets - The extentto which deferred tax assets can be recognized isbased on an assessment of the probability of thefuture taxable income against which the deferred taxassets can be utilized.
Business model assessment - The Companydetermines the business model at a level that reflectshow groups of financial assets are managed togetherto achieve a particular business objective. Thisassessment includes judgement reflecting all relevantevidence including how the performance of the assetsis evaluated and their performance measured, therisks that affect the performance of the assets andhow these are managed and how the managers ofthe assets are compensated. The Company monitorsfinancial assets that are derecognised prior to theirmaturity to understand the reason for their disposal andwhether the reasons are consistent with the objective ofthe business for which the asset was held. Monitoringis part of the Company's continuous assessment ofwhether the business model for which the remainingfinancial assets are held continues to be appropriateand if it is not appropriate whether there has been
a change in business model and so a prospectivechange to the classification of those assets.
evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairmentof assets requires assessment of several external andinternal factors which could result in deterioration ofrecoverable amount of the assets.
Classification of leases - The Company entersinto leasing arrangements for various assets. Theclassification of the leasing arrangement as a financelease or operating lease is based on an assessmentof several factors, including, but not limited to, transferof ownership of leased asset at end of lease term,lessee’s option to purchase and estimated certainty ofexercise of such option, proportion of lease term to theasset’s economic life, proportion of present value ofminimum lease payments to fair value of leased assetand extent of specialized nature of the leased asset.
Expected credit loss (‘ECL’) - The measurement ofexpected credit loss allowance for financial assetsrequires use of complex models and significantassumptions about future economic conditionsand credit behaviour (e.g. likelihood of customersdefaulting and resulting losses). The Companymakes significant judgements with regard to thefollowing while assessing expected credit loss:
a) Determining criteria for significant increasein credit risk;
b) Establishing the number and relative weightingsof forward-looking scenarios for each type ofproduct/market and the associated ECL; and
c) Establishing groups of similar financial assetsfor the purposes of measuring ECL.
Provisions - At each balance sheet date basis themanagement judgment, changes in facts and legalaspects, the Company assesses the requirementof provisions against the outstanding contingentliabilities. However, the actual future outcome may bedifferent from this judgement.
Significant estimates
Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives ofdepreciable/amortisable assets at each reporting date,based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertaintiesin these estimates relate to technical and economicobsolescence that may change the utility of assets.
Defined benefit obligation (DBO) - Management’sestimate of the DBO is based on a number ofunderlying assumptions such as standard rates ofinflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation offuture salary increases. Variation in these assumptionsmay significantly impact the DBO amount and theannual defined benefit expenses.
Fair value measurements - Management appliesvaluation techniques to determine the fair value offinancial instruments (where active market quotes arenot available). This involves developing estimates andassumptions consistent with how market participantswould price the instrument.
The RBI issued Circular DOR (NBFC).CC.PD.No.109/22.10.106/2019-20 dt. March 13,2020,which require Non-Banking Financial Companies(NBFCs) covered by Rule 4 of the Companies (IndianAccounting Standards) Rules, 2015 to comply withthe respective circular while preparing the financialstatements from financial year 2019-20 onwards.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (‘MCA’) notifies newstandard or amendments to the existing standardsunder Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)Rules as issued from time to time.

(iv) The Company has not granted any loans or advances in the nature of loans, to promoters, Directors, KMPs and relatedparties (as defined under the Companies Act, 2013), either severally or jointly with any other person, that are eitherrepayable on demand or without specifying any terms or period of repayment during the year.
(v) Refer Note 55 (xxiii) for Loans where fraud has been committed and reported for the year.
(vi) The Company has securitised certain term loans and managed servicing of such loan accounts. The carrying value ofthese assets have not been de-recognised in the books. Refer Note 49 for securitised term loans not derecognised intheir entirety.
(vii) Secured Loans granted by the Company are secured or partly secured by one or a combination of equitable mortgage ofproperty, Hypothecation of assets including Gold.
(viii) The above loan excludes microfinance loans assigned to a third party on direct assignment in accordance withRBI Guidelines which qualify for derecognisation as per Ind AS 109. The amounts given are of minimum retentionretained in the books.
(i) The Company has a Board approved policy for entering into derivative transactions. Derivative transactions comprise ofcurrency and interest rate swaps. The Company undertakes such transactions for hedging of foreign currency borrowings. TheAsset Liability Management Committee periodically monitors and reviews the risk involved.
(ii) The Company borrows in Foreign currency for its External Commercial Borrowing(“ECB”) programme. These borrowings aregoverned by RBI guidelines which requires entities raising ECB for an average maturity of less than 5 years to hedge minimum70% of the ECB exposure (principal and coupon). The Company hedges its entire ECB exposure for the full tenure of theECB. For its ECB, the Company evaluates the foreign currency exchange rates, tenure of ECB and its fully hedged costs andmanages its currency risks by entering derivative contracts as hedge positions.
(iii) The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuation risk for its external commercial borrowing(ECB).The Company’sborrowings in foreign currency are governed by RBI guidelines (RBI master direction RBI/FED/2018-19/67 dated 26 March2019 and updated from time to time) which requires entities raising ECB for an average maturity of less than 5 years to hedgeminimum 70% of its ECB exposure (Principal & coupon).As a matter of prudence, the Company has hedged the entire ECBexposure for the full tenure.
(i) Borrowings under securitisation arrangements represents securities issued by the special purpose vehicles ('SPVs') to the investorspursuant to the securitisation arrangement. Since such arrangements do not fulfil the derecognition criteria under Ind AS 109, the Companyhas recognised the associated liabilities with corresponding loans. Refer Note 49 for securitised term loans not derecognised in their entirety.
(ii) The Company holds derivative instrument i.e. Interest rate cross currency swap to mitigate the risk of change in interest ratesand exchange rates on foreign currency exposure. The tenure of ECBs and derivative Instruments are same and hence aretreated as perfectly hedged.
Treasury shares
Treasury shares represents Company's own equity shares held by MML Employee Welfare Trust for implementing Employee StockOption Plan of the Company. The Company treats ESOP trust as its extension and the Treasury shares are presented as a deductionfrom total equity.
The Company has equity shares having a par value of H 10 per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote pershare. The company declares and pays dividend in Indian Rupees. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors in anyfinancial year is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing annual general meeting, except interim dividend.In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive remaining assets of thecompany, after distribution of all preferential amounts.

The Company creates a reserve fund in accordance with the provisions of section 45-IC of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 andtransfers therein an amount equal to/more than twenty per cent of its net profit of the year, before declaration of dividend. Accordingly,during the year ended March 31,2025, the Company has transferred an amount of INR Nil (March 31, 2024: INR 899.17 million).
The account is used to recognise the grant date value of options issued to employees under Employee stock option plan andadjusted as and when such options are exercised or otherwise expire.
The Company recognises changes in the fair value of loan assets held with business objective of collect and sell in othercomprehensive income. These changes are accumulated within the FVOCI debt investments reserve within equity. The Companytransfers amounts from this reserve to the statement of profit and loss when the loan assets are sold. Any impairment loss on suchloans are reclassified immediately to the statement of profit and loss.
All the profits or losses made by the Company are transferred to retained earnings from statement of profit and loss.
Represents the profits or losses made by the employee welfare trust on account of issue or sale of treasury stock.
The amount refers to changes in the fair value of derivative financial Contracts which are designated as effective Cash flow Hedge.
(a) Encashment of compensated absence is payable to the employees on death or resignation or on retirement at theattainment of superannuation age, and it is not applicable on termination and unserved notice period of an employee.
(b) These assumptions were developed by management with the assistance of independent actuarial appraisers.Discount factors are determined close to each year-end by reference to government bonds and that have termsto maturity approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Other assumptions are based on management’shistorical experience.
(c) The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yield of Government of India bonds as at the balance sheet datefor the estimated terms of obligations.
The fair value of financial instruments as referred to in note 'A' above has been classified into three categories depending on theinputs used in the valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identicalassets or liabilities [Level 1 measurements] and lowest priority to unobservable inputs [Level 3 measurements].
The categories used are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in an active market;
Level 2: Directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; andLevel 3: Inputs which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
B.1 Valuation framework
Loan assets carried at fair value through other comprehensive income are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company's fair value methodology and the governance over its models includes a number of controls and otherprocedures to ensure the quality and adequacy of the fair valuation. In order to arrive at the fair value of the aboveinstruments, the Company obtains independent valuations. The valuation techniques and specific considerations for level3 inputs are explained in detail below. The objective of the valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value that reflects theprice that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in the market at any given measurement date.
The fair valuation of the financial instruments and its ongoing measurement for financial reporting purposes is ultimatelythe responsibility of the finance team which reports to the Chief Financial Officer. The team ensures that final reported fairvalue figures are in compliance with Ind AS and will propose adjustments wherever required. When relying on third-partysources, the team is also responsible for understanding the valuation methodologies and sources of inputs and verifyingtheir suitability for Ind AS reporting requirements.
B.3 Valuation techniques
Loan receivables valuation is carried out for two portfolios segregated on the basis of repayment frequency - monthly andweekly. The valuation of each portfolio is done by discounting the aggregate expected future cash flows with risk-adjusteddiscounting rate for the remaining portfolio tenor. The discounting factor is applied assuming the cashflows will be evenlyreceived in a month. The overdue cashflows upto 30days are considered in the sixth month and 31-90 days are considered in12th month. For Stage 3 loans, the outstanding principal after applying LGD is considered in the 12th month cashflow.
Following inputs have been used to calculate the fair value of loans receivables:
(i) Future cash flows: Include principal receivable, interest receivable and tenor information based on the repaymentschedule agreed with the borrowers.
(ii) Risk-adjusted discount rate: This rate has been arrived using the cost of funds approach.
For investment in Security Receipts, the Company has considered the Net Asset Value declared by the Trust.
For investment in equity instruments, the Company has assessed the fair value on the basis of using a market comparable
book value multiple.
For investment in government securities, the Company has assessed the fair value on the basis of the closing price
published by FBIL and are classified as level 1.
B.4 Fair value of instruments measured at amortised cost
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged
in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
(i) The management assessed that fair values of the following financial instruments to be approximate their respectivecarrying amounts, largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments - Cash and cash equivalents, Bankbalances other than cash and cash equivalents, Trade receivables and Other receivables, Trade payables and Otherpayables, Other financial assets and liabilities.
(ii) Majority of the Company's borrowings are at a variable rate interest and hence their carrying values represent bestestimate of their fair value as these are subject to changes in underlying interest rate indices.
(iii) The management assessed that fair values arrived by using the prevailing interest rates at the end of the reportingperiods to be approximate their respective carrying amounts in case of the following financial instruments-Loans,Lease liabilities and Debt securities.
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge its obligation to the Company. The Company's exposure to creditrisk is influenced mainly by cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, other receivables, loan assets, investments andother financial assets. The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties and incorporatesthis information into its credit risk controls.
A.1 Credit risk management
The Company assesses and manages credit risk based on internal credit rating system. Internal credit rating is performedfor each class of financial instruments with different characteristics. The Company assigns the following credit ratings toeach class of financial assets based on the assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial assets.
(i) Low credit risk
(ii) Moderate credit risk
(iii) High credit risk
The Company provides for expected credit loss based on the following:
Based on business environment in which the Company operates, a default on a financial asset is considered when thecounter party fails to make payments within the agreed time period as per contract. Loss rates reflecting defaults arebased on actual credit loss experience and considering differences between current and historical economic conditions.
Assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a borrower become non contactableor in financial distress or a litigation decided against the Company. The Company continues to engage with partieswhose balances are written off and attempts to enforce repayment. Recoveries made subsequently are recognized in thestatement of profit and loss.
A.3 Management of credit risk for financial assets other than loansCash and cash equivalents and bank deposits
Credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is considered to be very low as the Company onlydeals with high rated banks. The risk is also managed by diversifying bank deposits and accounts in different banksacross the country.
The Company faces very less credit risk under this category as most of the transactions are entered with highly ratedorganisations and credit risk relating to these are managed by monitoring recoverability of such amounts continuously.
Other financial assets measured at amortised cost includes advances to employees and security deposits. Credit riskrelated to these financial assets is managed by monitoring the recoverability of such amounts continuously.
A.5 Management of credit risk for loans
Credit risk on loans is the single largest risk of the Company's business, and therefore the Company has developedseveral processes and controls to manage it. The Company is engaged in the business of providing unsecuredmicro finance facilities to women having limited source of income, savings and credit histories repayable in weekly ormonthly instalments.
The Company duly complies with the RBI guidelines ('Non-Banking Financial Company-Micro Finance Institutions’ (NBFC-MFIs - Directions) with regards to disbursement of loans namely:
- Microfinance loans are given to an individual having annual household income up to INR 3,00,000
- Maximum FOIR (Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio) should be 50%
The credit risk on loans can be further bifurcated into the following elements:
(i) Credit default risk
(ii) Concentration risk
Credit default risk is the risk of loss arising from a debtor being unlikely to pay the loan obligations in full orthe debtor is more than 90 days past due on any material credit obligation. The Company majorly managesthis risk by following ""joint liability mechanism"" wherein the loans are disbursed to borrowers who form a partof an informal joint liability group (“JLG”), generally comprising of eight to forty five members. Each memberof the JLG provide a joint and several guarantees for all the loans obtained by each member of the group.In addition to this, there is set criteria followed by the Company to process the loan applications. Loans are generallydisbursed to the identified target segments which include economically active women having regular cash flowengaged in the business such as small shops, vegetable vendors, animal husbandry business, tailoring business andother self-managed business. Out of the people identified out of target segments, loans are only disbursed to thosepeople who meet the set criterion - both financial and non-financial as defined in the credit policy of the Company.Some of the criteria include - annual income, repayment capacity, multiple borrowings, age, group composition,health conditions, and economic activity etc. Some of the segments identified as non-target segments are not eligiblefor a loan. Such segments include - wine shop owners, political leaders, police & lawyers, individuals engaged inthe business of running finance & chit funds and their immediate family member or people with criminal records etc.
Concentration risk is the risk associated with any single exposure or group of exposures with the potential to producelarge enough losses to threaten Company's core operations. It may arise in the form of single name concentration orindustry concentration. In order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk, the Company’s policies and proceduresinclude specific guidelines to focus on maintaining a diversified portfolio. Identified concentration risks are controlledand managed accordingly.
Ind AS 109 outlines a “three stage” model for impairment based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition as
summarised below:
- A financial instrument that is not credit impaired on initial recognition and whose credit risk has not increasedsignificantly since initial recognition is classified as “Stage 1”.
- If a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition is identified, the financial instrument is moved to “Stage 2”but is not yet deemed to be credit impaired.
- If a financial instrument is credit impaired, it is moved to “Stage 3”.
ECL for depending on the stage of financial instrument:
- Financial instrument in Stage 1 have their ECL measured at an amount equal to expected credit loss that results fromdefault events possible within the next 12 months.
- Instruments in Stage 2 or Stage 3 criteria have their ECL measured on lifetime basis.
The Company considers a financial instrument to have experienced a significant increase in credit risk when one or more
of the following quantitative or qualitative criteria are met.
(i) Quantitative criteria
The remaining lifetime probability of default at the reporting date has increased, compared to the residual lifetimeprobability of default expected at the reporting date when the exposure was first recognized. The Company considersloan assets as Stage 2 when the default in repayment is within the range of 30 to 90 days.
If other qualitative aspects indicate that there could be a delay/default in the repayment of the loans, the Companyassumes that there is significant increase in risk and loan is moved to stage 2.
The Company considers the date of initial recognition as the base date from which significant increase in creditrisk is determined.
The Company defines a financial instrument as in default, which is fully aligned with the definition of credit-impaired, whenit meets the following criteria:
The Company considers loan assets as Stage 3 when the default in repayment has moved beyond 90 days.
(ii) Qualitative criteria
The Company considers factors that indicate unlikeliness of the borrower to repay the loan which include instanceslike the significant financial difficulty of the borrower, borrower deceased or breach of any financial covenants bythe borrower etc
Expected credit losses are the discounted product of the probability of default (PD), exposure at default (EAD) and lossgiven default (LGD), defined as follows:
- PD represents the likelihood of the borrower defaulting on its obligation either over next 12 months or over theremaining lifetime of the instrument.
- EAD is based on the amounts that the Company expects to be owed at the time of default over the next 12 monthsor remaining lifetime of the instrument.
- LGD represents the Company’s expectation of loss given that a default occurs. LGD is expressed in percentage andremains unaffected from the fact that whether the financial instrument is a Stage 1 asset, or Stage 2 or even Stage 3.However, it varies by type of borrower, availability of security or other credit support.
Probability of default (PD) computation model
The Probability of Default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. A default may only happenat a certain time over the assessed period, if the facility has not been previously derecognised and is still in the portfolio.
Loss given default (LGD) computation model
The loss rate is the likely loss intensity in case a borrower defaults. It provides an estimation of the exposure that cannotbe recovered in the event of a default and thereby captures the severity of the loss. The loss rate is computed by factoringthe main drivers for losses (e.g. joint group liability mechanism, historical recoveries trends etc.) and arriving at thereplacement cost.
The assessment of significant increase in risk and the calculation of ECL both incorporate forward-looking information.
The Company has evaluated that the analysis of forward-looking information reveal that the scenario applicable to the
Company is “Base Case Scenario” which assumes that the Macroeconomic conditions are normal and is similar to
previous periods. In this case normal credit rating and corresponding PD & LGD is considered for ECL computation.
A.7 Loss allowance
The loss allowance recognized in the period is impacted by a variety of factors, as described below:
- Transfers between Stage 1 and Stages 2 or 3 due to financial instruments experiencing significant increases (ordecreases) of credit risk or becoming credit-impaired in the period, and the consequent “step up” (or “step down”)between 12-month and Lifetime ECL.
- Additional allowances for new financial instruments recognized during the period, as well as releases for financialinstruments de-recognized in the period
- Impact on the measurement of ECL due to changes in PDs, EADs and LGDs in the period, arising from regularrefreshing of inputs to models
- Financial assets derecognised during the period and write-offs of allowances related to assets that were written offduring the period
The microfinance sector in India faced many challenges during the financial year 2024-25. The overall market conditionsare improving but has impacted the portfolio quality and performance. Following are the major factors contributedto the impacts.
We have witnessed a rapid industry growth post-pandemic recovery has led to over-heating in the segment. Increasedcompetition among MFIs for market share, causing stress on lending practices and risk management. This has resultedin increased leverage among the Microfinance lenders in terms of portfolio outstanding and number of lenders. Isolatedpolitical movements and local unrest have disrupted normal economic activities in certain regions. We have seen revival ofKarza Mukti related activities which led to prolonged nancial instability in affected areas. Centre and borrower disciplinesis taking time to fall in place; leading to higher time consumption for Regular collections. MFIs are focusing on collectionsto reduce delinquency rates, further limiting new loan disbursements. This has impacted the credit availability among theborrowers, which disrupted the customer cash flows and face challenges in maintaining repayments. Self-RegulatoryOrganizations (SROs) have implemented guardrails to control the delinquency situation and aggressive lending practicesin sector. This has brought in necessary discipline in the sector.
The micronance sector in Karnataka has been affected by The Karnataka Micro Loan and Small Loan (Prevention ofCoercive Actions) Ordinance, 2025, an initiative by the state government. The act is to prevent un-registered moneylenders in the state and against coercive collection practices. The act is expected to help the MFI Industry and registeredregulated entities on a long-term basis but had made disruptions in the short term. This has contributed to uctuations inportfolio performance; though the same peaked in February 2025, the same is currently getting resolved gradually withimproved portfolio performance in March 2025.
i) The schedule of repayment of principal and payment of interest has been duly stipulated and the repayments ofprincipal amounts and receipts of interest have generally been regular as per repayment schedules except for433,296 cases having loan outstanding balance at year end aggregating to H 9,355.05 Million wherein the repaymentsof principal and interest are not regular; and
ii) The total amount overdue for more than 90 days as at the balance sheet date are H 942.90 Million (Principal amountH 744.42 Million and Interest amount H 198.48 Million) for 238,391 cases. Necessary steps are being taken by theCompany for recovery thereof.
A.9 Write off policy
The Company writes off financial assets, in whole or in part, when it has exhausted all practical recovery efforts and hasconcluded there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.
Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include:
- Ceasing enforcement activity
- Where the Company's recovery method is foreclosing and there is no reasonable expectation of recovery in full.
- Specific identification by Management
The Company may write off financial assets that are still subject to enforcement activity. The outstanding contractualamounts of such assets written off during the year ended March 31, 2025 was INR 3,320.42 million (March 31, 2024:INR 1,319.20 million). The Company still seeks to recover amounts it is legally owed in full, but which have been partiallywritten off due to no reasonable expectation of full recovery.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilitiesthat are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure as faras possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due. Management monitors rolling forecastsof the Company's liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company takesinto account the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates.
C.2 Assets
The Company’s fixed deposits are carried at amortised cost and are fixed rate deposits. The Company's loan assets areat fixed interest rate. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carryingamount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
C.3 Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
In the normal course of its business, the Company does not deal in foreign exchange in a significant way. Any foreignexchange exposure on account of foreign exchange borrowings is fully hedged to safeguard against exchange rate risk.The Company’s treasury risk management policy covers the framework for managing currency risk including hedging. TheCompany determines hedge effectiveness for hedging instrument at the inception of the hedge relationship and throughperiodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged itemand hedging instrument. The Company enters into hedge relationships where the critical terms of the hedging instrumentmatch with the terms of the hedged item, and so a qualitative and quantitative assessment of effectiveness is performed.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changesin foreign currency rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primary to theforeign currency borrowings taken from banks and External Commercial Borrowings (ECB).
In order to minimise any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company, derivative financial instruments,such as cross currency interest rate swaps and forwards contracts are entered to hedge certain foreign currency riskexposures and variable interest rate exposures, the Company’s central treasury department identifies, evaluates andhedges financial risks in close co- operation with the Company’s operating units.
The Company follows a conservative policy of hedging its foreign currency exposure through Forwards and / or CrossCurrency Interest Rate Swaps in such a manner that it has fixed determinate outflows in its functional currency and assuch there would be no significant impact of movement in foreign currency rates on the Company's profit before tax(PBT) and equity.
Since the Company has entered into derivative transaction to hedge this borrowing, the Company is not exposed to any currencyrisk on this borrowing.
C.4 Hedging activities and derivatives
The foreign currency and interest rate risk on borrowings have been actively hedged through cross currencyinterest rate swaps.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from its foreign currency borrowings amounting to USD 154.67 Million(March 31, 2024 USD 60 Million ). Interest on the borrowing is payable at a floating rate linked to SOFR. The Companyhedged the interest rate risk arising from the debt with a ‘receive floating pay fixed’ cross currency interest rate swap.
The Company uses Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps (IRS) Contracts (Floating to Fixed) to hedge its risks associatedwith interest rate and currency fluctuations arising from external commercial borrowings. The Company designates suchcontracts in a cash flow hedging relationship by applying the hedge accounting principles as per IND AS. These contractsare stated at fair value at each reporting date.
The Company uses Critical Terms Matching to determine Hedge effectiveness. If the hedge is ineffective, then themovement in the Fair Value is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. If the hedge is effective, the movement in theFair Value of the underlying and the derivative instrument is transferred to “Other Comprehensive Income” in Other Equity.
There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument as the critical terms of the CrossCurrency Interest Rate Swaps match that of the foreign currency borrowings (notional amount, interest payment dates,principal repayment date etc.). The Company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as theunderlying risk of the Cross currency interest rate swaps are identical to the hedged risk components.
For the year ended 31 March 2025, the Company has reassessed the accounting treatment and has applied cash flowhedge accounting, with the effective portion of changes in fair value of the derivative instruments recognised in OtherComprehensive Income (OCI) under the hedge reserve.
Based on a materiality assessment, the Company did not apply hedge accounting in the financial statements for the yearended March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, even though the hedge relationship met the eligibility criteria under Ind AS109. However, the Company had prepared the required hedge documentation, including identification of hedged items,hedging instruments, risk management strategy, and method of assessing hedge effectiveness, at the inception of thehedge relationship. Accordingly, the comparative figures for the previous financial year have not been restated. Resultantimpact of cash flow hedge accounting in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) under the hedge reserve is Rs.19.83millions for the previous year ended March 31,2024.
Operational risk is the risk arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems, or from external events.The Company manages operational risks through comprehensive internal control systems and procedures laid downaround various key activities in the Company viz. loan acquisition, customer service, IT operations, finance function etc.This enables the Management to evaluate key areas of operation risks and the process to adequately mitigate them onan ongoing basis.
Compliance Risk is the risk of legal or regulatory sanctions, penalties, material financial loss or damage to reputationan entity may suffer as a result of its failure to comply with laws, regulations, rules, supervisory instructions and codesof conduct, etc., applicable to its business activities. The Company has a strong compliance framework to ensurecompliance standards are robust across all divisions of the Company.
The Company’s capital management objectives are
- to ensure the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
- to provide an adequate return to shareholders
Management assesses the Company’s capital requirements in order to maintain an efficient overall financing structure while avoidingexcessive leverage. This takes into account the subordination levels of the Company’s various classes of debt. The Companymanages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristicsof the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure the Company may issue new shares, or sell assetsto reduce debt.
The Company is primarily engaged in business of micro finance and the business activity falls within one operating segment,as this is how the chief operating decision maker of the Company looks at the operations. All activities of the Company revolvearound the main business. Hence the disclosure requirement of Indian Accounting Standard 108 of “Segment Reporting” is notconsidered applicable.
Transferred financial assets that are derecognised in their entirety
During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company has sold some loans and advances measured at fair value through othercomprehensive income as per assignment deals, as a source of finance. As per the terms of these deals, since substantial risks andrewards related to these assets were transferred to the buyer, the assets have been derecognised from the Company’s balance sheet.
The Company has assessed the business model under Ind AS 109 ""Financial Instruments"" and consequently the financial assetsare measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The gross carrying value of the loan assets derecognised during the year ended March 31, 2025 amounts to INR 18,463.91 millions(March 31, 2024: INR 27,133.93 millions) and the gain from derecognition during the year ended March 31, 2025 amounts to INR1,379.65 millions (March 31,2024: INR 2,231.66 millions)
Transferred financial assets that are not derecognised in their entirety

The Contract with customers through which the Company earns a commission income includes the following promises:
(i) Sourcing of loans
(ii) Servicing of loans
Both these promises are separable from each other and do not involve significant integration. Therefore, these promises
constitute separate performance obligations.
No allocation of the consideration between both the promises was required as the management believes that the contracted
price are close to the standalone fair value of these services.
(i) Sourcing of loans: The consideration for this service is arrived based on an agreed percentage/fee on the loans disbursed
during the year. Revenue for sourcing of loans shall be recognized as and when the loans are disbursed. The revenuetherefore, for this service, shall be recognized based on the disbursements actually made during each year.
(ii) Servicing of loans: The consideration for this service is arrived based on an agreed percentage on the actual collections

Revenue for servicing of loansshall be recognized over a period of time, as the customer benefits from the services as and when it is delivered by theCompany. However, since the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that correspondsdirectly with the value of service provided to date, applying the practical expedient available under the standard, theCompany shall recognise revenue for the amount to which it has a right to invoice.

No.102/03.10.001/2019-20 Dated November 04, 2019, NBFCs assets with more thanRs.5,000 crores, required to maintain Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) as mentioned therein. The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) is oneof the key parameters closely monitored by RBI to enable a more resilient financial sector. The objective of the LCR is to promote anenvironment wherein Balance Sheet carries a strong liquidity for short term cash flow requirements. To ensure strong liquidity NBFCsare required to maintain adequate pool of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) which can be easily converted into cashto meet their stressed liquidity needs for 30 calendar days. The LCR is expected to improve the ability of financial sector to absorbthe shocks arising from financial and/or economic stress, thus reducing the risk of spill over from financial sector to real economy.
The Liquidity Risk Management of the Company is managed by the Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) under the governance ofBoard approved Liquidity Risk Framework and Asset Liability Management policy. The LCR levels for the Balance Sheet date isderived by arriving the stressed expected cash inflow and outflow for the next calendar month. To compute stressed cash outflow,all expected and contracted cash outflows are considered by applying a stress of 15%. Similarly, inflows for the Company is arrivedat by considering all expected and contracted inflows by applying a haircut of 25%.
The Company for purpose of computing outflows, has considered: (1) all the contractual debt repayments, and (2) other expectedor contracted cash outflows. Inflows comprises of: (1) expected receipt from all performing loans, and (2) liquid investment whichare unencumbered and have not been considered as part of HQLA.
For the purpose of HQLA the Company considers: (1) Unencumbered Government securities, and (2) Cash and Bank balances.
The LCR is computed by dividing the stock of HQLA by its total net cash outflows over one-month stress period. LCR guidelineshave become effective from 1 December 2020, requiring NBFCs to maintain minimum LCR of 50%, LCR is increased to 100% fromDecember 2024. The Company is maintaining LCR of 100%.
