3(a)(3)(ii) The Company’s process for managing risk

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company’s main income generating activity is lending to customers and therefore credit risk is a principal risk. Credit risk mainly arises from loans and advances to customers, investments in debt securities and derivatives that are an asset position. The Company considers all elements of credit risk exposure such as counterparty default risk, geographical risk and sector risk for risk management purposes.

3(a)(3)(iii) Exposure at default

The exposure at default (EAD) represents the gross carrying amount of the financial instruments subject to the impairment calculation, addressing both the client’s ability to increase its exposure while approaching default and potential early repayments too.

To calculate the EAD for a Stage 1 loan, the Company assesses the possible default events within 12 months for the calculation of the 12mECL. For Stage 2 and Stage 3 financial assets, the exposure at default is considered for events over the lifetime of the instruments.

3(a)(3)(iv) Loss given default

The Company segments its retail lending products into smaller homogeneous portfolios (housing and non housing), based on key characteristics that are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows. The data applied is collected loss data and involves a wider set of transaction characteristics (e.g., product type, wider range of collateral types) as well as borrower characteristics.

3(a)(3)(v) Significant increase in credit risk

The Company continuously monitors all assets subject to ECL. In order to determine whether an instrument or a portfolio of instruments is subject to 12mECL or LTECL, the Company assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. The Company considers an exposure to have significantly increased in credit risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.

During the previous year RBI issued resolution framework 2.0 dated May 05, 2021 accordance with that Company has offered moratorium on payment of all installment and/or interest as applicable to all eligiable borrowers. For all such accounts that were granted moratorium, the prudential assets classification remained standstill during the moratorium period (i.e. the number of days past due shall exclude the moratorium period for the purposes of asset classification under Income Recognition, Asset Classification and Provisioning Norms).

When estimating ECL on a collective basis for a group of similar assets, the Company applies the same principles for assessing whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.

3(a)(3)(vi) Risk assessment model

The Company has designed and operates its risk assessment model that factors in both quantitative as well as qualitative information on the loans and the borrowers. The model uses historical empirical data to arrive at factors that are indicative of future credit risk and segments the portfolio on the basis of combinations of these parameters into smaller homogenous portfolios from the perspective of credit behaviour.

3(a)(4) Collateral

The Company holds collateral to mitigate credit risk associated with financial assets.The main types of collateral are registered / equitable mortgage property. The collateral presented relates to instruments that are measured at amortised cost.

The Company did not hold any financial instrument for which no loss allowance is recognised because of collateral at March 31, 2023. There was no change in the Company’s collateral policy or collateral quality during the year.

40 Fair value measurement

40(a) Valuation Principles

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e., an exit price), regardless of whether that price is directly/ indirectly observable or estimated using a valuation technique. In order to show how fair values have been derived, financial instruments are classified based on a hierarchy of valuation techniques.

40(b) Fair Value of financial instruments which are not measured at Fair Value

The carrying amounts and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are reasonable approximations of fair values at financial statement level.

Valuation methodologies of financial instruments not measured at fair value Loans

Most of the loans are repriced frequently, with interest rate of loans reflecting current market pricing. Hence carrying value of loans is deemed to be equivalent of fair value.

Borrowings

The Company’s most of the borrowings are at floating rate which approximates the fair value.

Debt securities and subordinate liabilities are fixed rate borrowings and fair value of these fixed rate borrowings is determined by discounting expected future contractual cash flows using current market interest rates charged for similar new loans and carrying value approximates the fair value for fixed rate borrowing at financial statement level.

Short Term and Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

The management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, investments, other financial assets, trade payables and other financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Assets held for sale

Real estate properties are valued based on a well progressed sale process with price quotes.

41 Transfer of financial assets

Transfers of financial assets that are not derecognised in their entirety

Securitisation:

The Company uses securitisations as a source of finance. Such transactions generally result in the transfer of contractual cash flows from portfolios of financial assets to holders of issued debt securities. Securitisation has resulted in the continued recognition of the securitised assets.

Assignment Deal:

During the year ended March 31, 2023, the Company has sold some loans and advances measured at amortised cost as per assignment deals, as a source of finance. As per the terms of these deals, since substantial risk and rewards related to these assets were transferred to the buyer, the assets have been derecognised from the Company’s balance sheet.

The management has evaluated the impact of assignment transactions done during the year for its business model. Based on the future business plan , the Company business model remains to hold the assets for collecting contractual cash flows.

42 Capital management:

For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, Securities premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company net of intangible assets. The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is safety and security of share capital and maximize the shareholder value.

The Company manages its capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is total debt divided by net worth. The Company’s policy is to keep the gearing ratio at reasonable level of 6-8 times in imminent year while the Master Direction - Non-Banking Financial Company - Housing Finance Company (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2021 currently permits HFCs to borrow up to 12 times of their net owned funds (“NOF”). The Company includes with in debt, its all interest bearing loans and borrowings.

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company’s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current year.

43 Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s Principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. At the other hand Company’s Principal financial assets include loans and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.

As a lending institution, Company is exposed to various risks that are related to lending business and operating environment. The Principal Objective in Company’s risk management processes is to measure and monitor the various risks that Company is subject to and to follow policies and procedures to address such risks. Company’s risk management framework is driven by Board and its subcommittees including the Audit Committee, the Asset Liability Management Committee and the Risk Management Committee. Company gives due importance to prudent lending practices and have implemented suitable measures for risk mitigation, which include verification of credit history from credit information bureaus, personal verification of a customer’s business and residence, technical and legal verifications, conservative loan to value, and required term cover for insurance. The major types of risk Company face in businesses are liquidity risk, credit risk, interest rate risk.

(A) Liquidity risk

Liquidity Risk refers to the risk that the Company can not meet its financial obligations. The objective of Liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirement. The unavailability of adequate amount of funds at optimum cost and co-terminus tenure to repay the financial liabilities and further growth of business resultantly may face an Asset Liability Management (ALM) mismatch caused by a difference in the maturity profile of Company assets and liabilities. This risk may arise from the unexpected increase in the cost of funding an asset portfolio at the appropriate maturity and the risk of being unable to liquidate a position in a timely manner and at a reasonable price. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and undrawn credit facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

The Company has given cash collateral for the securitisation transactions and do not expect any net cash outflow and hence guarantees given for securitisation transactions have not been shown as part of below table. Further, undisbursed loan amount being cancellable in nature are not disclosed as part of below mentioned maturity profile.

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the undiscounted cash flows of the Company’s financial liabilities.

(B) Credit risk

Credit Risk arises from the risk of loss that may occur from the default of Company’s customers under loan agreements. Customer defaults and inadequate collateral may lead to higher credit impaired assets. Company address credit risks by using a set of credit norms and policies, which are approved by Board and backed by analytics and technology. Company has implemented a structured and standardized credit approval process, including customer selection criteria, comprehensive credit risk assessment and cash flow analysis, which encompasses analysis of relevant quantitative and qualitative information to ascertain the credit worthiness of a potential customer. Actual credit exposures, credit limits and asset quality are regularly monitored and analysed at various levels. Company has created a robust credit assessment and underwriting practice that enables to fairly price credit risks.

The Company has created more than 60 templates of customer profiles through its experience over the years, with risk assessment measures for each geography in which it operates. The Company continuously seek to develop and update such profiles in order to identify and source reliable customers and improve efficiencies. The Company also conduct an analysis of the existing cash flow of customer’s business to assess their repayment abilities. The Company has implemented a four prong system of credit assessment comprising underwriting, legal assessments, technical assessments and a risk containment unit.

Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk was H 11,82,933.63 lakh and H 9,35,491.68 lakh as of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 respectively, being the total of the carrying amount of Loan assets and EIS receivable.

(C) Analysis of risk concentration

The Company’s concentrations of risk are managed based on Loan to value (LTV) segregation as well as geographical spread. The following tables stratify credit exposures from housing and other loans to customers by range of loan-to-value (LTV) ratio. LTV is calculated as the ratio of gross amount of the loan - or the amount committed for loan commitments - to the value of the collateral. The value of the collateral for housing and other loans is based on collateral value at origination.

(D) Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market factors. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in the interest rates, credit, liquidity and other market changes. The Company’s exposure to market risk is primarily on account of interest rate risk.

(I) Interest Rate Risk:-

The company is subject to interest rate risk, primarily since it lends to customers at rates and for maturity years that may differ from funding sources. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond control, including the monetary policies of the Reserve Bank of India, deregulation of the financial sector in India, domestic and international economic and political conditions, inflation and other factors. In order to manage interest rate risk, the company seek to optimize borrowing profile between short-term and long-term loans. The company adopts funding strategies to ensure diversified resource-raising options to minimize cost and maximize stability of funds. Assets and liabilities are categorized into various time buckets based on their maturities and Asset Liability Management Committee supervise an interest rate sensitivity report periodically for assessment of interest rate risks.

Due to the very nature of housing finance, the company is exposed to moderate to higher Interest Rate Risk. This risk has a major impact on the balance sheet as well as the income statement of the company. Interest Rate Risk arises due to:

i) Changes in Regulatory or Market Conditions affecting the interest rates

ii) Short term volatility

iii) Prepayment risk translating into a reinvestment risk

iv) Real interest rate risk.

In short run, change in interest rate affects Company’s earnings (measured by NII or NIM) and in long run it affects Market Value of Equity (MVE) or net worth. It is essential for the company to not only quantify the interest rate risk but also to manage it proactively. The company mitigates its interest rate risk by keeping a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings. Further company carries out Earnings at risk analysis and maturity gap analysis at quarterly intervals to quantify the risk.

(II) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primary to the foreign currency borrowings taken from bank.

(E) Operational risk

Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and system or from external events. Operational risk is associated with human error, system failures and inadequate procedures and controls. It is the risk of loss arising from the potential that inadequate information system; technology failures, breaches in internal controls, fraud, unforeseen catastrophes, or other operational problems may result in unexpected losses or reputation problems. Operational risk exists in all products and business activities.

The Company recognizes that operational risk event types that have the potential to result in substantial losses includes Internal fraud, External fraud, employment practices and workplace safety, clients, products and business practices, business disruption and system failures, damage to physical assets, and finally execution, delivery and process management.

The Company cannot expect to eliminate all operational risks, but it endeavours to manage these risks through a control framework and by monitoring and responding to potential risks. Controls include effective segregation of duties, access, authorisation and reconciliation procedures, staff education and assessment processes, such as the use of internal audit.

Qualitative Disclosure of LCR

RBI had issued guidelines on liquidity risk management for NBFCs/HFCs vide Circular No. RBI/2019-20/88 DOR.NBFC (PD) CC.No.102/03.10.001/2019-20 dated November 4, 2019 wherein RBI introduced Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR). The objective of the guidelines is to ensure that NBFCs/HFCs maintains a liquidity buffer in terms of LCR in addition to various process related aspects of liquidity risk management framework. LCR has to be maintained in the form sufficient High Quality Liquid Asset (HQLA) to survive any acute liquidity stress scenario lasting for subsequent 30 calendar days. LCR is one of the key parameters closely monitored by RBI to enable a more resilient financial sector. Further, RBI vide Circular No. RBI/2020-21/60 DOR. NBFC (HFC).CC. No.118/03.10.136/2020-21 dated October 22, 2020, provided non deposit taking HFCs with time extension for minimum LCR of 50% to be maintained by 1st December 2021 which is to be gradually increased to 100% by 1st December 2025. The LCR is expected to improve the ability of financial sector to absorb the 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 including LCR of the Company is governed by the Liquidity Risk Management (LRM) Policy approved by the board. The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) is responsible for managing the LCR of the Company in line with the LRM Policy. Company regularly reviews the position of inflows, outflows and the liquidity buffers and ensures maintenance of sufficient quantum of High Quality Liquid Assets.

For computation of stressed cash outflow, all expected and contracted cash outflows are considered by applying a stress of 15%. Similarly, stressed cash inflows for the Company is arrived at by considering all expected and contracted inflows by applying a haircut of 25%. Finally, Net Cash Outflow is arrived by deducting the stressed cash inflows from stressed cash outflow. However, total net cash outflows will be subjected to a minimum of 25% of total stressed cash outflows. The LCR is computed by dividing the stock of HQLA by its total net stressed cash outflows over next 30 days.

Cash outflow under secured wholesale funding majorly includes contractual obligations under Term loans, NHB ReFinance, NCDs, Interest payable within next 30 days. Outflow under credit and liquidity facilities, the Company considers the expected cash outflow of the committed credit facilities contracted with the customers. Outflow under other contractual funding obligations primarily includes outflow on account of expected operating expenses and other dues. In Inflows from fully performing exposures, Company considers the collection from performing advances in next 30 days. Other Cash inflows includes investments in mutual funds, FDs which can be liquidate within 30 days including interest receivable thereon. Company has no currency mismatch in LCR and Company is not expecting any cash outflow within next 30 days on account of derivative exposure and potential collateral requirement. For concentration of funding sources refer disclosure on the Liquidity Risk Management Framework as per note 45.13.

Tabled above the Intra-period changes as well as changes over time in the various components of the LCR, HQLA & average LCR. The Average LCR for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was 101% which is well above present prescribed minimum requirement of 60% and the average LCR of previous periods during the year were also well above the prescribed minimum requirement of respective period.

As on 31st March 2023 most of the HQLAs of the Company are in the form of unencumbered government securities and unencumbered Cash and Bank balances and composition of unencumbered government securities in the HQLA was 88.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
