IFCI Venture has changed its accounting policy for interest accrual on stage 3 / non-performing assets (NPA), aligning
with the holding company effective from April 1, 2021 as per approval of Board. This change impacts the recognition
and write-off of interest income associated with stage 3 assets.
Policy Changes
• Recognition of Interest Income: Interest income on stage 3 assets will be recognized using the Effective
Interest Rate (EIR) method applied to the amortized cost of the underlying asset (gross assets minus Expected
Credit Loss (ECL)).
• Write-off of Interest Income: Any increase in the gross carrying amount of stage 3 assets resulting from
the application of the EIR method will be written off against the recognized interest income, if there is no
reasonable expectation of recovery.
The Management has considered that the aforesaid changes are material and as a result the financials of 31.3.2023
were also restated. Interest income for FY 2022-23 and 2021-22 has increased by INR 1,163.41 Lakhs and INR
1,266.84 Lakhs respectively. Since there is no expectation of recovery, the same has been written off as bad debts
respectively. Hence, there is no impact on Net Profit/ Net loss of these years respectively.

26. INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
i. Introduction
The Indian economy expanded at a robust pace in 2023-24, with real GDP growth accelerating to 7.6 per cent from
7.0 per cent in the previous year – the third successive year of 7 per cent or above growth. With gross fixed capital
formation (GFCF) accelerating to 10.2 per cent in 2023-24 from 6.6 per cent in 2022-23, investment was the major
driver of domestic demand, buoyed by government spending on infrastructure.
Scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) remained well-capitalised, maintaining capital adequacy above the regulatory
minimum as at end-September 2023. Bank credit growth sustained momentum during 2023-24. The asset quality of
SCBs improved further, along with moderation in the gross non-performing assets (GNPAs) as at end-September
2023.
Capital adequacy of non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) was comfortable and asset quality improved as at end-
September 2023. On the profitability front, Return on Assets (RoA) and Net Interest Margin (NIM) stood strong, and
the cost-to income ratio improved. Robust credit growth was sustained, supported by demand for retail credit.
Capital and asset quality of banks and NBFCs remain healthy, supporting the growth in bank credit and domestic
activity. Pre-emptive regulatory measures aimed at curbing excessive consumer lending and bank lending to NBFCs,
and investments in alternate investment funds (AIFs) are expected to contain the build-up of potential stress in
balance sheets of financial intermediaries and contribute to financial stability.
A. Banking Sector
The Indian banking industry has been on an upward trajectory aided by strong economic growth, rising disposable
incomes, increasing consumerism and easier access to credit.
The Indian banking industry has recently witnessed the rollout of innovative banking models like payments and small
finance banks. In recent years India has also focused on increasing its banking sector reach, through various schemes
like the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana and Post payment banks. Bank accounts opened under GoI Pradhan Mantri
Jan Dhan Yojana have deposits of over ~US$ 25.13 billion in beneficiary accounts. 51.11 crore beneficiaries banked
till December 15th, 2023.
Schemes like these coupled with major banking sector reforms like digital payments, neo-banking, a rise of Indian
NBFCs and fintech have significantly enhanced India’s financial inclusion and helped fuel the credit cycle in the country.
In 2023, total assets in the public and private banking sectors were US$ 1686.70 billion and US$ 1016.39 billion,
respectively. In 2023, assets of public sector banks accounted for 58.31% of the total banking assets (including public,
private sector and foreign banks). The interest income of public banks reached US$ 102.4 billion in 2023. In 2023,
interest income in the private banking sector reached US$ 70 billion.
India’s digital lending market witnessed a growth of CAGR 39.5% over a span of 10 years.The Indian digital consumer
lending market is projected to surpass US$ 720 billion by 2030, representing nearly 55% of the total US$ 1.3 trillion
digital lending market opportunity in the country.
Digital modes of payments have grown by leaps and bounds over the last few years. As on January 2024, there were
560 banks actively using UPI. The total number of digital transactions during this period amounted to 15.08 billion,
with a total value of US$ 25.27 billion (Rs. 2.1 trillion).
Enhanced spending on infrastructure, speedy implementation of projects and continuation of reforms are expected
to provide further impetus to growth in the banking sector. All these factors suggest that India’s banking sector is
poised for robust growth as rapidly growing businesses will turn to banks for their credit needs.
The advancement in technology has brought mobile and internet banking services to the fore. Artificial Intelligence
(AI) and automation are demonstrating unprecedented value while Blockchain has sparked innovation throughout
11
the business landscape and is poised to continue in doing so. The banking sector is laying greater emphasis on
providing improved services to their clients and upgrading their technology infrastructure to enhance customer’s
overall experience as well as give banks a competitive edge.
B. NBFC Sector
Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) work with the sole aim of making financial services accessible to one
and all. The unique objective set them apart from the banks and made them the prime drivers of growth.
NBFC sector plays an extremely crucial role in the development of the country’s core infrastructure. By offering
quicker funds and credit to the Indian trade and commerce industry, these entities are enabling the nation-wide
growth of large infrastructure projects. Furthermore, small businesses, start-ups, and MSMEs/SSIs are dependent on
funds offered by NBFCs. Thus, indirectly, NBFCs create more job opportunities at the macro-economic level.
NBFCs help promote financial inclusion by extending credit and financial services to underserved population
segments. NBFCs complement the banking sector by providing access to credit for individuals and businesses who
may not meet the stringent requirements of traditional banks. NBFCs are involved in offering credit facilities to both
the urban and the rural clientele for the development of the economy. It helps micro-businesses and build low-cost
houses, promoting the economic growth of the countryside, and providing microcredit for women.
According to the RBI’s latest Financial Stability Report, NBFCs were the largest net borrowers of funds from the
financial system, with gross payables of Rs 16.58 lakh crore and gross receivables of Rs 1.61 lakh crore as of the end
of March 2024. “A breakup of their gross payables reveals that the bulk of funds were sourced from SCBs, followed
by AMC-MFs and insurance companies,” states the report.
The banks’ share in the funding mix of NBFCs has jumped from 47.5 per cent in December 2018 to 55.1 per cent
in March 2024. Similarly, the long-term funds provided by banks and AIFs have increased from 40.7 per cent to 45.9
per cent in the same period. Further, Non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) remain healthy, with CRAR at 26.6
per cent, GNPA ratio at 4.0 per cent and Return on Assets (RoA) at 3.3 per cent, respectively, at end-March 2024.
The Department of Supervision (DoS) is entrusted with the responsibility of supervising all Scheduled Commercial
Banks (SCBs) [excluding Regional Rural Banks (RRBs)], Local Area Banks (LABs), Payments Banks (PBs), Small Finance
Banks (SFBs), Credit Information Companies (CICs), All India Financial Institutions (AIFIs), Urban Co-operative
Banks (UCBs), Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) [excluding Housing Finance Companies (HFCs)] and
Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs).
During the year, the Department took several initiatives for strengthening the supervision of NBFCs. The impact
of new asset classification norms on the gross Non-Performing Assets (GNPAs) reported by NBFCs was analysed.
GNPAs of the NBFC sector decreased from 6.3 per cent of gross advances on March 31, 2022 to 5.9 per cent as on
September 30, 2022, which was the cut-off date for implementation of the new norms. GNPAs decreased to 5.0 per
cent of gross advances as on March 31, 2023, and further to 4.6 per cent as on September 30, 2023. Since the system
of marking of days past due on a daily basis was already implemented by the larger NBFCs, the new norms did not
have a major impact on the reported asset quality. The increase in gross advances of the NBFC sector by 15.9 per
cent during 2022-23 also had a mitigating impact on the GNPA level.
Several regulatory and supervisory guidelines were issued during the year in line with global best practices towards
strengthening of governance, risk management practices and capital buffers. The regulatory guidelines included: (a)
default loss guarantee in digital lending; (b) framework for compromise settlements and technical write-offs; (c)
prudential norms for classification, valuation, operations of investment portfolios of commercial banks; (d) minimum
capital requirements for operational risk; and (e) establishment of an umbrella organisation for UCBs.
The central bank on 16th of November 2023, announced increase in bank capital requirements for personal loan
credit cards and directed lenders to set limits on various retail segment loans, indicating RBI’s vigilance on the
unprecedented growth in these types of loans, affecting the NBFCs on the capital buffer they would need to
carry. Other steps the central bank announced was an increase in risk weights on loans given by banks to NBFCs,
12
effectively pushing up capital needs for all classes of lenders, NBFCs were affected as most of their borrowings were
heavily dependent on banks In turn, this has pushed up interest rates for the borrowing segment. The central bank
increased the risk weight on consumer credit for banks and NBFCs to 125 per cent from 100 per cent.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To
The Members of
IFCI VENTURE CAPITAL FUNDS LIMITED
This revised Independent Auditor’s Report is being issued in supersession of our earlier Independent Auditor’s Report
dated 22nd April 2024, at the instance of Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG) of India. The revised report is
issued in view of certain modification in Annexure ‘B’ –Statements on the matter Specified in directions issued by the
Comptroller and Auditor General of India in accordance with Section 143(5) of the companies Act, 2013 as pointed
out by C&AG of India in our earlier report, Annexure –A of Independent Auditors Report pertaining to the regulatory
requirement of the auditor as required by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2020 (CARO) issued by the Central
Government of India in terms of sub section (11) of section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Report on Other Legal
and Regulatory Requirements of Independent Auditor’s Report. Further, we confirm that these changes do not affect true
& fair view and our opinion as expressed earlier.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Ind AS financial statements of IFCI VENTURE CAPITAL FUNDS LIMITED
(“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including
other comprehensive income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Cash Flow Statement for the year then
ended, and notes to the Ind AS financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information (herein after referred to as “financial statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial
statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“Act”) in the manner so required and give a true
and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company
as at March 31, 2024, and profit and total comprehensive income, the changes in equity and its cash flows for the year
then ended.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the
Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities
for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with
the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules
thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of
Ethics.We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Board’s report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon. As the company has not prepared directors report at this stage hence, we are unable to
express our opinion whether the other information in board report is materially misstated or not.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we
conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have
nothing to report in this regard.
42
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to the Note no. 1(A), 5, 20 & 29 of the financial statement regarding change in accounting policy
towards recognition of interest income on Stage-3 assets and write off the amount which have no reasonable expectation
of recovery with effect from 01st April 2021.
The results for the year were materially affected by Changes in accounting policies. The Board considered Memorandum
No. 1856/23-24 and took note of the recommendation of the CAG after receiving the clarification from ICAI and RBI for
recognition of interest income on Stage 3 assets in line with IND AS 109.
Accordingly, interest income for FY 2022-23 and 2021-22 has increased by INR 1,163.41 Lakhs and INR 1,266.84 Lakhs
respectively. Since there is no expectation of recovery, the same has been written off as bad debts respectively. Hence,
there is no impact on Net Profit/Net loss of these years respectively.
During the FY 2023-24, the company has recognized the Interest income of INR 1,117.10 Lakhs and written off the INR
1,104.29 Lakhs as bad debts, since there is no expectation of recovery for the same.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the
Act”) with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance total comprehensive income changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act
for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection
and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for
ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of Ind AS
financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken
on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
43
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the operating effectiveness of
the Company’s internal controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to
cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes
it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be
influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work
and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial
statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

ANNEXURE “C” TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (f) of Sub-section 3 of
Section143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of IFCI VENTURE CAPITAL FUNDS LIMITED
as of March 31, 2024 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year
ended on that date.
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on
the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of
internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance
of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its
business, including adherence to respective company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection
of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable
financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial
Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing
prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial
controls.
Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was
established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls
system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness.
Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial
controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the
auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion
on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting of the Company.
A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
1. pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company;
51
2. provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
3. provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition
of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of
collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and
not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future
periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in
all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial
controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2024, based on the internal control over
financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in
the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India.

1. Background
IFCI Venture (‘the Company’), incorporated in New Delhi, India is a Non-Banking Finance Company in the public
sector set-up in 1975. IFCI Venture is presently managing one SEBI-registered Venture/ private equity (PE) funds/
Alternate Investment Funds (AIF) having two schemes. These funds provide long-term, committed share capital, to
help unquoted companies grow and succeed. IFCI Venture derives income from the fund management activities in
the form of management fee on the corpus/ outstanding amount of funds and by way of profit on these investments.
The Company provides financial support for the diversified growth of Industries across the spectrum in the form of
Corporate loans.
The financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024 have been prepared by the Company in accordance with
Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India under the
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendment)
Rules, 2016, as amended from time to time, in this regard.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these financial
statements.
For periods up to and including the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company presented its financial statements
on accrual basis under historical cost convention, and conform in all material aspects to the Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles in India (‘Indian GAAP’ or ‘previous GAAP’) which encompasses applicable accounting
standards relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, the applicable guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of
India (RBI) for Non-Banking Financial Companies, other statutory provisions and regulatory framework.
The financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019 are the first financial statements of the Company prepared
under Ind AS.The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these
financial statements.
The financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on 22nd April 2024.
These financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is the Company’s functional and presentation
currency. All amounts have been denominated in lakh and rounded off to the nearest 2 decimals, except when
otherwise indicated.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following material items
• Financial instruments at FVTPL that is measured at fair value
• Net defined benefit (asset)/ liability - fair value of plan assets less present value of defined benefit obligation
In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the
application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities
and assets) as on the date of the financial statements and the reported income and expenses for the reporting
period. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and
reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognized prospectively.
59
A. Judgements
Information about the judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the
amounts recognized in the financial statements is included in the following notes:
• Impairment of financial assets: establishing the criteria for determining whether credit risk on the financial
assets has increased significantly since initial recognition, determining methodology for incorporating forward
looking information into measurement of expected credit loss (‘ECL’) and selection of models used to measure
ECL
• The company has an operating segment “Fund Management” having assets, liabilities, income, expenses and other
processes and personnel focused on managing venture capital funds. Given the exemption from application of
equity method to a ‘venture capital organization’ which may be a division or section or department or segment
within an entity, the company has regarded the “Fund Management” segment as a ‘venture capital organization’
and has availed the exemption from application of equity method to all its investments in associates by
measuring the investments in associates at fair value through profit or loss. As the company has opted to
measure those investments at fair value through profit or loss in separate financial statements and there being
no other investments in subsidiaries or joint ventures, no adjustments are required to prepare consolidated
financial statements from separate financial statements. These financial statements are, therefore, separate and
consolidated financial statements of the company and the group respectively.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material
adjustment in the year ended 31st March 2024 is included in the following notes:
• Impairment of financial instruments: determining inputs into the ECL measurement model, including
incorporation of forward looking information including key assumptions used in estimating recoverable cash
flows
• Determination of the fair value of financial instruments with significant unobservable inputs
• Measurement of defined benefit obligations: key actuarial assumptions
• Recognition of deferred tax assets: availability of future taxable profit against which carry-forward tax losses
can be used
The Company has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these financial
statements.
A. Revenue recognition
(i) Interest income from financial assets is recognised on an accrual basis using Effective Interest Rate (‘EIR’)
method. The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life
of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate to the net carrying amount of the financial
asset. The EIR is computed basis the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the
financial instrument. The calculation includes all fees, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts
paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.
The interest revenue continues to be recognised at the original EIR applied on the gross carrying amount for
financial assets (when the asset is not credit impaired).
(ii) Fee income/expense that are integral to the effective interest rate on a financial asset or financial liability are
included in the effective interest rate. Income from Management fees is recognized overtime on the basis of
output method of time elapsed.
(iii) Recovery from bad debts written off is recognised as income on the basis of realisation from customers.
60
B. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets
and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the
financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.
Financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair
value through FVTPL, depending on the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets and the
Company’s business model for managing the financial assets.
The Company makes an objective assessment of the business model in which an asset is held at a portfolio level, because
this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management.The information considered
includes:
The stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. In particular, whether
management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest revenue, maintaining a particular interest rate profile,
matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of the liabilities that are funding those assets or realising cash
flows through the sale of the assets;
The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and
how those risks are managed.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company
changes its business model for managing financial assets.
Assessment if contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest
For the purpose of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition.
‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal
amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, as well as profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company applies
judgement and considers all the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset
contains any contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not
meet this condition. In making the said assessment, the Company considers prepayment and extension terms, features that
modify consideration of the time value of money (e.g. periodical reset of the interest rates).
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost only if both of the following conditions are met:
• It is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows.
• The contractual terms of the financial asset represent contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest.
Subsequently, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method less any impairment
losses.
61
Financial assets at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)
A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:
(a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash
flows and selling financial assets and
(b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequently, these are measured at fair value and changes therein, are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Impairment losses on said financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income and do not reduce the carrying
amount of the financial asset in the balance sheet.
Any financial instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorisation as at amortised cost or as FVOCI, is
classified as at FVTPL.
Subsequently, these are measured at fair value and changes therein, are recognised in profit and loss account.
All equity investments (other than in Subsidiaries and Associates) are subsequently measured at fair value through profit
or loss.
Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL with all changes recognised in Statement of profit
and loss.
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance
with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its
liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company is recognised at the proceeds received, net of directly attributable
transaction costs.
Financial liabilities
All Financial Liabilities are recognized at fair value and in case of borrowings, net of directly attributable cost.
Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, financial liabilities other than those which are classified as FVTPL are subsequently measured
at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or costs that are an integral
part of the EIR. The amortization done using the EIR method is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit
and Loss.
Amortised cost
Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition minus
the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the EIR method of discount or premium
62
on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR and, for financial assets, adjusted for any loss
allowance.
Fair Valuation
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous
market to which the Company has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects it non-performance risk.
When Market price is available, the Company measures the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an
active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as active if transactions for the asset or liability take place
with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use
of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The valuation technique incorporates all
of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction.
Financial assets
The Company de-recognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset
expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another
entity.
On de-recognition, any gains or losses on all debt instruments and equity instruments (measured at FVTPL) are
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Gains and losses in respect of debt instruments measured at FVOCI
and that are accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss on de-recognition. Gains or losses on equity
instruments measured at FVOCI that are recognised and accumulated in OCI are not reclassified to profit or loss
on de-recognition
Financial liabilities
The Company de-recognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or
expired.
Financial assets
If the terms of a financial asset are modified, the Company evaluates whether the cash flows of the modified asset
are substantially different. If the cash flows are substantially different, then the modification results in derecognition
of the original financial asset and new financial asset is recognised at fair value.
If the cash flows of the modified asset are not substantially different, then the modification does not result in de-
recognition of the financial asset. In this case, the Company recalculates the gross carrying amount of the financial
asset and recognizes the amount arising from adjusting the gross carrying amount as a modification gain or loss in
profit or loss.Any costs or fees incurred adjust the carrying amount of the modified financial asset and are amortised
over the remaining term of the modified financial asset by recomputing the EIR rate on the instrument.
If such a modification is carried out because of financial difficulties of the borrower, then the gain or loss is presented
together with impairment losses. In other cases, it is presented as interest income.
Financial liabilities
The Company de-recognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified
liability are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at
63
fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial
liability with modified terms is recognised in profit or loss.
If the modification is not accounted as derecognition, then the amortised cost of the liability is recalculated by
discounting the modified cash flows at the original EIR and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.
Any costs or fees incurred adjust the carrying amount of the modified financial liability and are amortised over the
remaining term of the modified financial liability by recomputing the EIR rate on the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet when the
Company has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net
basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Company recognizes impairment allowances for ECL on all the financial assets that are having contractual terms
giving rise to solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding
ECL are probability weighted estimate of credit losses. They are measured as follows:
• financial assets that are not overdue for more than 30 days – as the present value of all cash shortfalls that are
possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
• financial assets with significant increase in credit risk that are overdue for more than 30 days but less than 90
days – as the present value of all cash shortfalls that result from all possible default events over the expected
life of the financial asset.
• financial assets that are overdue by 90 days and above – as the difference between the gross carrying amount
and the present value of estimated cash flows.
• undrawn loan commitments – as the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows that
are due to the Company if the commitment is drawn down and the cash flows that the Company expects to
receive with respect to the financial assets, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to
lifetime expected credit losses. Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted
from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For financial assets at FVTOCI, the loss allowance is recognised
in OCI.
Write-off
Financial assets are written off (either partially or in full) when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering a
financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the
borrower does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts
subject to the write-off. This assessment is carried out at the individual asset level.
However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group’s
recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in
profit or loss.
C. Leases
The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a
lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for
consideration.To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company
assesses whether
(i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset
(ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the
lease and
(iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
64
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset(“ROU”) and a corresponding
lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less
(short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the
lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term.
ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.
The right-of use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability
adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs
less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses
Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight line basis over the shorter of the
lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of
impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is
determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cashflows that are largely independent of
those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU)
to which the asset belongs.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The
lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the
incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a
corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will
exercise an extension or a termination option. Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the
Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
D. Employee benefits
Short term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided.A liability is recognised for the amount
expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of
past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Provident Fund
The Company pays fixed contribution to Provident Fund at predetermined rates to EPFO.
Gratuity
The Company has a defined benefit employee scheme in the form of Gratuity. The Trustees of the scheme have
entrusted the administration of related fund to LIC. Expense for the year is determined on the basis of actuarial
valuation of the Company’s year-end obligation in this regard and the value of year end assets of the scheme.
Contribution is deposited with LIC based on intimation received by the Company.
The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating
the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current costs and the fair
value of any plan assets, if any is deducted.
The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation using
the Projected Accrued Benefit Method (same as Projected Unit Credit Method), which recognizes each period of
service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build
up the final obligation.
65
The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for
determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plan, are based on the market yields on
Government securities as at the balance sheet date.When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company,
the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds
from the plan or reductions in future contribution to the plan.
The change in defined benefit plan liability is split into changes arising out of service, interest cost and re-measurements
and the change in defined benefit plan asset is split between interest income and re-measurements. Changes due to
service cost and net interest cost / income is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Re-measurements of
net defined benefit liability / (asset) which comprise of the below are recognized in other comprehensive income:
• Actuarial gains and losses;
• The return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset)
Benefits under the Company’s leave encashment and leave fare concession constitute other long term employee
benefits.The Company’s net obligation in respect of leave encashment is the amount of future benefit that employees
have present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The calculation is performed using the
projected unit credit method. Any actuarial gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which
they arise. Provision for Leave fare concession is being made on actuarial valuation basis.
E. Income Taxes
Income-tax expense comprises of current & previous year tax adjustments (i.e. amount of tax for the period
determined in accordance with the income tax law) and deferred tax charge or credit (reflecting the tax effects of
temporary differences between tax base and book base). It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that
it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in OCI.
Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid in respect of taxable income for the year in accordance
with the Income Tax Act, 1961. Current tax comprises the tax payable on the taxable income or loss for the year and
any adjustment to the tax payable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date. Minimum alternative tax (‘MAT’) under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 is
recognised as current tax in the statement of profit and loss.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if, the Company:
a) has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and
b) intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at
each reporting date and based on management’s judgement, are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable
that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable
profits improves.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has
become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax is measured
at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted
or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the
Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
66
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if the Company:
a) has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
b) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority.
The credit available under the Act in respect of MAT paid is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there
is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the period for which the MAT credit can
be carried forward for set-off against the normal tax liability. MAT credit recognised as an asset is reviewed at each
balance sheet date and written down to the extent the aforesaid convincing evidence no longer exists.
Property, plant and equipment held for use or for administrative purposes, are stated in the balance sheet at cost less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.The cost includes non-refundable taxes, duties, freight
and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition and installation of the respective assets.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided using the straight line method overuseful life estimated by the management. Depreciation
is calculated on pro-rata basis, including the month of addition and excluding the month of sale/disposal. Leasehold
improvements are amortised over the underlying lease term on a straight line basis. Residual value in respect of
Buildings and Vehicles is considered as 5% of the cost and in case of other assets ` ‘Nil’.
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period,
with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
De-recognition
An item of property, plant and equipment or investment property is de-recognized upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal
of an item of property, plant and equipment or investment property is determined as the difference between the
sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
Transition to Ind AS
The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment and
investment property recognised as of April 1, 2017 (the transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and
use such carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.
G. Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recognized at cost of acquisition which includes all expenditure that can be directly attributed
or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis, to create, produce or making the asset ready for its intended use.
Amortization
Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and
amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate
being accounted for on a prospective basis.
De-recognition
An intangible asset is de-recognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or
67
disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is de-
recognized.
Transition to Ind AS
The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its intangible asset recognised as of April 1,
2017 (the transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and use such carrying value as its deemed cost as of
the transition date.
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amount of its non financial assets (other than assets held
for sale and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication
exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal and constructive obligation as a result of a past event, for
which it is probable that cash outflow will be required and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required
to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present
value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to
the liability.
A contingent liability exists when there is a possible but not probable obligation, or a present obligation that
may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount cannot be
estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions, but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow
of resources is remote. Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements where an inflow of economic
benefits is probable.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an
original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits,
as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the entity’s cash
management.
L. Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief
Operating Decision Maker (CODM) of the company. The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and
assessing performance of the operating segments of the Company. The income /expenses directly attributable have
been allocated in respective operations and the un-allocable income/ expenses have been distributed in the ratio of
74:26 funds vs NBFC.
68
N. Assets held for sale
Assets are classified as held for sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather
than through continuing use. Such assets measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to
sell with gains and losses on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. Once classified as held for sale, assets are
no longer amortised, depreciated or impaired.
The company has investment in associates in which it has 20 per cent or more of shareholding and therefore has
been regarded as an associate. The company has measured the investments in associates at fair value through profit
or loss in its separate financial statements. If any investment is held for sale, then shall measure it at the lower of its
carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
The Company has applied the impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 retrospectively. At the date of transition to
Ind AS, an entity shall use reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort to
determine the credit risk at the date that financial instruments were initially recognised (or for loan commitments
and financial guarantee contracts the date that the entity became a party to the irrevocable commitment) and
compare that to the credit risk at the date of transition to Ind AS.
The ECL working assumes that there is a significant increase in credit risk if the asset is overdue for 30 days or
more and therefore, ECL is measured on lifetime basis for such assets. For assets overdue for less than 30 days, it
is assumed that there is no significant increase in credit risk and therefore ECL for such assets is measured at the
probability of default occurring within next 12 months.
The company determines significant increase in credit risk on a financial asset subject to impairment requirements
as per expected credit loss method if the cash flows from the financial instrument are overdue by 30 days or more.
The company considers default when the principal or interest cash flows on a financial asset is overdue by 90 days
or more. The company provides lifetime expected credit losses on financial assets that are overdue by 30 or more.
Financial assets that are overdue by 90 days or more are considered to be credit-impaired.
The company recognized interest on effective interest rate for all financial assets whether credit-impaired or nor
credit-impaired. For credit-impaired financial assets, interest was being recognized on the carrying amount remaining
after deducting loss allowance. The Company has changed its accounting policy whereby interest income on stage 3
assets (except on the assets which are standard under IRAC norms) shall not be recorded in the books of accounts
with effect from 1st April,2021.
However, the company has now changed its accounting policy with retrospective effect from April 01, 2021.
The company recognizes interest on an effective interest rate (EIR) for all financial assets whether credit-impaired
or nor credit-impaired. For credit-impaired financial assets, interest is recognized on the carrying amount remaining
after deducting loss allowance (Gross Assets – ECL). Further, write off of the increase in gross carrying amount of
Stage 3 assets to the extent of above interest income where there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.
For the purposes of calculating expected credit losses, the company groups the financial assets based on similarity
of type of financial asset such as corporate loan or personal loan, type of security such as loan against property and
loan against shares, credit rating as at the reporting date and schedule of payment contractually specified such as
monthly or quarterly. However, the credit losses are calculated on individual instrument level and not group level.
The credit loss calculated at individual instrument level is then adjusted for the probability that the party may default
with 12 months if the financial asset is overdue by less than 30 days and also by the risk weights based on gross
exposure that includes loan commitments and credit risk rating grades. The company considers GDP growth rate
and unemployment rate over a period of 10 years.
Empirically, there is a negative correlation between GDP growth rate and non-performing asset rate and a positive
correlation between unemployment rate and non-performing asset rate. Any negative effect of GDP growth rate and
69
unemployment rate is adjusted in the risk weights applied to the credit loss calculated at instrument level.
The company calculates credit loss based on the regression analysis of contractual and actual cash flows till the end
of the reporting period. The calculation of credit loss looks into the future, that is after the end of the reporting
period by considering contractual and actual cash flows till the end of latest month for which receipt information is
available.
Actual cash flows beyond the month for which the receipt information is available is estimated based on regression
equation. Credit loss is the present value of cash shortfalls from the end of the reporting period to the end of the
contractual period. The adjusted credit loss is then compared with the present value of the collateral as on the
reporting date and estimate of legal costs to be incurred for realization of security to determine the expected
credit losses to recognised as loss allowance. The value of security shall be discounted value of Fair Market value or
Reserve Price whichever is lower where Reserve Price is available.
The present value of the collateral and legal costs is estimated beyond the contractual period if required. Any
increase / decrease in loss allowance for financial assets measured at amortised cost is recognised in profit or loss
for the period. Expected credit losses are considered based on the credit rating as at the end of the reporting period.
Therefore, any change in the credit rating for that instrument may result in change in the risk weights applied to the
credit loss calculated based on regression analysis of the contractual and actual cash flows over the period of the
contract.
1(A). Restatement of Financial Statements due to Changes in Accounting Policy
The company has modified its accounting policy regarding the recognition of stage 3 income, effective April 1, 2021. This
change alignswith the recommendations of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG), the Reserve Bank of
India (RBI), the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), and IFCI Ltd., the company’s holding company.
The Management has considered that the aforesaid changes are material and as a result the financials of 31.3.2023 are to
be restated. The relevant extracts of the Ind AS financial statements after the incorpoartion of the afforesaid accounting
policy is as given below.

Note: Recognition of deferred tax assets: The Company has recognized deferred tax assets/ (liabilities) and concluded
that the deferred tax assets will be recoverable using the estimated future taxable income based on the experience and
future projections. The Company is expected to generate adequate taxable income for liquidating these assets in due
course of time. The company does not recognize deferred tax assets (DTAs) for current year losses. This treatment is
consistent with accounting standards, as the recoverability of DTAs from current losses is uncertain until future profits
are generated. Therefore, the company defers recognizing a DTA for current year losses until they have a clearer picture
of their future profitability through a Long Term Business Plan.

(e) Sensitivity analysis of significant assumptions
The following table present a sensitivity analysis to one of the relevant actuarial assumption, holding other assumptions
constant, showing how the defined benefit obligation would have been affected by changes in the relevant actuarial
assumptions that were reasonably possible at the reporting date.

Although the analysis does not take account of the full distribution of cash flows expected under the plan, it does
provide an approximation of the sensitivity of the assumptions shown Sensitivities due to mortality & withdrawals
are not material & hence impact of change due to these not calculated.
(f) Expected maturity analysis of the defined benefit plans in future years
As at 31st March 2024, the weighted-average duration of the defined benefit obligation was 13.84 years (31st March
2023: 14.53 years).
Valuations are based on certain assumptions, which are dynamic in nature and vary over time. As such company is
exposed to various risks as follow -
Salary Increases : Actual salary increases will increase the Plan’s liability. Increase in salary increase rate assumption
in future valuations will also increase the liability.
Investment Risk : If Plan is funded then assets liabilities mismatch & actual investment return on assets lower than
the discount rate assumed at the last valuation date can impact the liability.
Discount Rate : Reduction in discount rate in subsequent valuations can increase the plan’s liability.
Mortality & disability : Actual deaths & disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation can
impact the liabilities.
Withdrawals : Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of withdrawal
rates at subsequent valuations can impact Plan’s liability.
The Company provides leave encashment benefits and leave fair concession to the employees of the Company which
can be carried forward to future years. Amount recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss for compensated

C. Valuation framework
The Company measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the
inputs used in making the measurements.
Level 1: Inputs that are quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 : The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in active markets is determined using valuation
techniques which maximize the use of observable market data either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices
for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument but do not
qualify as Level 1 inputs. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable the instrument is
included in level 2.
Level 3 : If one or more of the significant inputs is not based in observable market data, the instruments is included
in level 3. That is, Level 3 inputs incorporate market participants’ assumptions about risk and the risk premium
required by market participants in order to bear that risk. The Bank develops Level 3 inputs based on the best
information available in the circumstances.
The respective carrying values of certain on-balance sheet financial instruments approximated their fair value.These
financial instruments include cash in hand, balances with other banks, trade receivables, trade payables and certain
103
other financial assets and liabilities. Carrying values were assumed to approximate fair values for these financial
instruments as they are short-term in nature and their recorded amounts approximate fair values or are receivable
or payable on demand.
The Company’s activities exposure it to credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and operational risk.
The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s
risk management framework. The Board of Directors has established the risk management committee, which is
responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies.
Efficient and timely management of risks involved in the Company’s activities is critical for the financial soundness
and profitability of the Company. Risk management involves the identifying, measuring, monitoring and managing of
risks on a regular basis. The objective of risk management is to increase shareholders’ value and achieve a return on
equity that is commensurate with the risks assumed.
The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to
set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and
systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.
The Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management
policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks
faced by the Company. The Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit department, which
undertakes required management controls.
B. Credit risk
Credit risk arises from loans and advances, cash and cash equivalents, investment in debt securtiies and deposits with
banks and financial institutions and any other financial assets. Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company
if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally
from the Company’s asset on finance and trade receivables from customers; loans and investments in debt securities.
The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.
However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base,
including the default risk associated with the industry. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more
events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
• significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
• a breach of contract such as a default or past due event;
• the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Company on terms that the Company would not consider
otherwise; or
• it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial re-organization;
The risk management committee has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed
individually for credit worthiness before the Company’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions
are offered. The Company’s review includes external ratings, if they are available, background verification,
financial statements, income tax returns, credit agency information, industry information, etc. Credit limits are
established for each customer and reviewed quarterly.
The company determines significant increase in credit risk on a financial asset subject to impairment
requirements as per expected credit loss method if the cash flows from the financial instrument are overdue
104
by 30 days or more.The company considers default when the principal or interest cash flows on a financial
asset is overdue by 90 days or more. The company provides lifetime expected credit losses on financial assets
that are overdue by 30 or more. Financial assets that are overdue by 90 days or more are considered to be
credit-impaired.
The company recognises interest on effective interest rate for all financial assets whether credit-impaired or
nor credit-impaired. For credit-impaired financial assets, interest is recognised on the the carrying amount
remaining after deducting loss allowance. For the purposes of calculating expected credit losses, the company
groups the financial assets based on similarity of type of financial asset such as coporate loan or personal loan,
type of security such as loan against property and loan against shares, credit rating as at the reporting date
and schedule of payment contractually specified such as monthly or quarterly. However, the credit losses are
calculated on individual instrument level and not group level.
The credit loss calculated at individual instrument level is then adjusted for the probability that the party may
default with 12 months if the financal asset is overdue by less than 30 days and also by the risk weights based
on gross exposure that includes loan commitments and credit risk rating grades. The company considers GDP
growth rate and unempoyment rate over a period of 10 years.
Empirically, there is a negative correlation between GDP growth rate and non-performing asset rate and a
positive correlation between unemployment rate and non-performing asset rate. Any negative effect of GDP
growth rate and unemployment rate is adjusted in the risk weights applied to the the credit loss calculated at
instrument level.
The company calculates credit loss based on the regression analysis of contractual and actual cash flows till
the end of the reporting period. The calculation of credit loss looks into the future, that is after the end of the
reporting period by considering contractual and actual cash flows till the end of latest month for which receipt
information is available.
Actual cash flows beyond the month for which the receipt information is available is estimated based on
regression equation. Credit loss is the present value of cash shortfalls from the end of the reporting period
to the end of the contractual period. The adjusted credit loss is then compared with the present value of the
collateral as on the reporting date and estimate of legal costs to be incurred for realisaation of security to
determine the expected credit losses to recognised as loss allowance.
The present value of the collateral and legal costs is estimated beyon the contractual period if required. Any
increase / decrease in loss allowance for financial assets measured at amortised cost is recognised in profit
or loss for the period. Expected credit losses are considered based on the credit rating as at the end of the
reporting period. Therefore, any change in the credit rating for that instrument may result in change in the risk
weights applied to the credit loss calculated based on regression analysis of the contractual and actual cash
flows over the period of the contract.
The Company continuously monitors all assets subject to ECLs. In order to determine whether an instrument
or a portfolio of instruments is subject to 12 months ECL or life time ECL, the Company assesses whether
there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and required steps are taken.
The Company’s exposure to credit risk for Loan and advances, trade receivables and other financial assets by
type of counterparty is as follows.
The Company has applied a three-stage approach to measure expected credit losses (ECL). Assets migrate
through following three stages based on the changes in credit quality since initial recognition:
(a) Stage 1: 12- months ECL: For exposures where there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial
recognition and that are not credit-impaired upon origination, the portion of the lifetime ECL associated
105
with the probability of default events occurring within the next 12- months is recognized.
(b) Stage 2: Lifetime ECL, not credit-impaired: For credit exposures where there has been a significant
increase in credit risk since initial recognition but are not credit-impaired, a lifetime ECL is recognized.
(c) Stage 3: Lifetime ECL, credit-impaired: Financial assets are assessed as credit impaired upon occurrence
of one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.
For financial assets that have become credit-impaired, a lifetime ECL is recognized and interest revenue is
recognized.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk
of its financial assets since initial recognition by comparing the risk of default occurring over the expected
life of the asset. In determining whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the
Company uses information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes the
Company’s internal credit rating grading system, external risk ratings and forward-looking information to
assess deterioration in credit quality of a financial asset.
d) Cash and cash equivalents
The Company holds cash and cash equivalents of Rs.846.55 lakh at 31st March 2024 (31st March 2023: Rs.461.19
lakh). The cash and cash equivalents are held with scheduled commercial banks. Impairment on cash and cash
equivalents has been measured on the 12-month expected loss basis and ECL on cash and cash equivalent has
been estimated at NIL in view of creditbility of banks.)
e) Receivable
Trade Receivable stands at Rs.8.59 lakh as on 31st March 2024, Rs.18.36 lakh as at 31st March 2023 Other
Receivable stands at Rs.704.58 lakh as on 31st March 2024 Rs.25.28 lakh as at 31st March 2023.
The company holds investment in listed bonds of the holding company (IFCI LTD) and the intends to hold the
same till maturity to reep the benefit of contralual interest. The same has been carried at amortised cost and
no ECL is estimated on it.
