Vladimir Lenin once said, “There are decades when nothing happens and there are weeks where
decades happen”. The year FY21 had many such weeks. It was a year which witnessed one of the
worst slowdowns in real GDP, but ironically one of the best for equity markets and corporate
earnings. We witnessed dooms day scenario, recession, recovery and a bull run - all in 12 months.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought out the human spirit to adapt and survive even the most
challenging of times. In-fact, the crisis has compelled fiscal policy to be used more aggressively
in western world and elsewhere. This along with a large monetary support resulted in the global
monetary stance being very supportive to averting a prolonged slowdown.
India too mimicked the global response. While our lockdowns were undoubtedly more stringent,
the recovery in the unlocking phase has been robust with strong policy response from both
government as well as RBI. Central government has loosened its fiscal strings by expanding fiscal
deficit by ~5% of GDP and by increasing spending ~28% YoY. While initially during lockdown
spending was more towards providing relief and credit guarantee to MSMEs, it has pivoted
towards capex in the unlocking phase (H2FY21).
Further, RBI’s support has also been critical during the pandemic. RBI has generally kept system
awash with excess liquidity and brought down short term rates leading to significant vibrancy in
bond market. AAA corporate bond spreads are close to all time low now.
Going ahead, while the economy is recovering fast, the second COVID wave does pose near term
challenges and its impact is yet to pan out fully. However, global recovery remains strong and
should result in spill overs to India through trade, prices and flows channel. Macro-environment
thus augurs well for India’s business cycle as well as financial sector.
Overall Outlook
While near-term outlook is clouded owing to uncertainties of next COVID wave, we believe that
the medium term looks a lot brighter due to vaccination drive (largest in the world) being
underway, global recovery likely to remain strong, India’s own macro vulnerabilities remaining
low and domestic policy stance being most accommodative in a decade.
Banking Industry
FY21 has been a tough year for the banking system with continued slowdown in credit growth
and with the pandemic disrupting business operations, asset performance and profitability - all
on top of a lacklustre FY20. To better deal with the uncertainty of the situation, banks focused on
controlling asset quality, building provisioning buffer and raising capital.
In view of the lockdowns and continuing economic disruptions, RBI required banks/NBFCs to
offer moratorium for a period of three months upto May 2020 which was further extended by
three months. Banks saw moratorium requests in the range of 10-30%. To better deal with the
uncertainty of the situation, banks focused on building provisioning buffer and raising capital.
Furthermore, Supreme Court announced forbearance on recognition of bad loans from August
2020 until late March 2021. These measures, while definitely helping the stricken borrowers, also
resulted in muted performance of banks.
However, overall stress in the sector was lower than initial estimates and the next fiscal should
see gradual revival.
NBFC Industry
NBFCs, similar to banks, provided loan moratorium upto August 2020; post which recognition
was curtailed by Supreme Court dispensation. Asset and retail financiers saw moratorium
requests to the tune of 25-35% of assets.
While banks saw relief due to the first moratorium, non-bank lenders found themselves in a spot
initially. Customers of NBFCs and HFCs have been provided a moratorium but banks were
reluctant to extend relief on NBFC borrowings. However, the on tap liquidity measures provided
by the RBI provided adequate funding to NBFCs.
Post festive season, many NBFCs also saw an improvement in their collection efficiency and
restructuring requests were limited. Asset finance names would witness first post covid quarter
of significant disbursement growth in Q4FY21; some unwind in credit costs due to seasonal
recoveries; and better guidance/outlook on growth/credit costs. For large housing finance,
margin benefits are limited by a competitive loan pricing environment but mortgage segment
loan growth will continue as one of the highest in the financials landscape.
Assuming that the impact of the COVID wave would be contained soon, while the segment is not
entirely out of woods, comfortable capital position, control on asset quality and strengthened
liquidity management practices provide comfort. Within NBFCs, well run business models with
Retail Finance
India has one of the lowest credit penetration among larger economies and retail credit presents
a large growth opportunity driven by long term trends of democratization of credit, rising
household incomes and increased consumption. However, in the near term, we expect growth
will remain challenging with players also tightening risk metrics to reflect the emerging realities
– for both banks and NBFCs.
In addition to retail mortgages, the other scalable area which has been a focus of all banks and
NBFCs is SME finance owing to the government guaranteed scheme. This segment, though is an
attractive offer for borrowers due to its lending cap, will pose challenges for lenders given
constant business disruptions due to external uncertainties. Inopportune use of the ECLGS
scheme without assessment of long term customer viability has the potential to compound up the
size of the problem for certain SME loans.
A Diversified NBFC
ECL Finance Limited (ECLF) was incorporated on July 18, 2005 as a wholly owned subsidiary of
Edelweiss Financial Services Limited (EFSL). It is a Systemically Important Non-Deposit taking
Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC-ND-SI) registered with the Reserve Bank of India. ECLF
is primarily engaged in the business of financing, corporate lending, lending to individuals and
investments.
Our Company has obtained a certificate of registration dated April 24, 2006 bearing Registration
No. N- 13.01831 issued by the Reserve Bank of India under section 45 IA of the Reserve Bank of
India Act, 1934, to commence/carry on the business of Non-Banking Financial Institution not
accepting public deposits subject to the conditions mentioned in the Certificate of Registration.
At ECLF, we offer a wide range of products and services for Retail as well as Corporate as well
as Clients with a clear focus on client requirements while designing our products.
We are part of the Edelweiss Group which is one of India’s prominent financial services
organization having businesses organized around three broad business groups:
• Credit business including Retail Credit and Corporate Credit,
• Credit business including Retail Credit and Corporate Credit
• Wealth Management, including Wealth Management and Capital Markets

Today, ECLF is a Rs. 189.79 billion asset base company with presence in all the significant areas
of retail credit businesses including SME and Loan Against Property, and corporate credit
business. A broad range of products allows it to address a considerable part of the financial needs
of a diverse set of customers.
As a result of our strategy of calibrated growth along with prudent risk management, ECLF has
demonstrated a strong track record of growth over last several years though FY20 has been muted
due to multiple challenges being faced by NBFC industry in India in the recent past.
INCOME
Interest income continued to be a major contributor to the gross revenue from Operations at
Rs.17,511 million as against Rs. 33,730 million during the previous year, constituting around
Revenue from treasury and dividend income were stood at Rs.1,551 million as against Rs 1,049
million during the previous year, constituting 7.7% of total revenue from operations.
Net Revenue
For NBFCs, like banking industry, the concept of Net Revenue (net of interest cost) is another
way of analyzing the performance. This is because interest cost, as with all Banks and large
NBFCs, should reflect above the expenses line. On a net revenue basis, our fee & commission for
FY21 was Rs.850 million (Rs.1,369 million for FY20) and Interest Income and Fund based revenue,
i.e. net of interest cost, all the interest cost being for fund based revenue, was Rs.2,202 million (Rs.
10,514 million for FY20). Thus, the total net operating revenue for FY21 was Rs. 3,052 million (Rs.
11,883 million for FY20), down 74.3%. In addition, the Other Income for FY21 was Rs.208 million,
compared to Rs.28 million in FY20.
EXPENSES
Our total costs for FY21 was Rs.21,722 million (Rs. 53,852 million in FY20), down by 59.7%.
Credit Cost
During the current year, the Company has recorded for the year ended March 31, 2021, an amount
of Rs. (4,179.44) millions towards impairment on financial instruments, Rs. 3,724.22 towards loss
on derecognition of financial instrument.
Other expenses
Other expenses including depreciation and amortisation for FY21 were Rs.4,303 million (Rs. 4,495
million in FY20), down by 4.27%.
The company has posted profit after Tax of Rs.22.35 million for FY21 against loss after tax of Rs.
14,145 for FY20.
Analysis of Profitability
The company has posted profit after Tax of Rs.22.35 million for FY21 which has improved from
FY20 lower credit cost during FY21 partially offset by lower net interest income in FY21.
As per the recent amendments to the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements
(LODR), we give below additional information in respect of financial parameters that are
applicable to our company:
Details of significant changes (i.e. change of 25% or more as compared to the immediately
previous financial year) in key financial ratios, along with detailed explanations therefor,
including:
(a) Debt Equity Ratio 4.24 at the end of FY21 compared to 5.44 at the end of FY20. This was due
to lower borrowings on the back of degrowth in the credit book and issuance of Compulsory
convertible debentures to CDPQ which is being added to equity while arriving at Debt Equity
ratio.
(b) Operating Profit Margin, Net profit margin and Return on Average Equity are in positive on
the back of posting of profit by the company in FY21 compared to respective ratios in FY20.
Other parameters, namely Debtors Turnover, Inventory Turnover, Interest Coverage Ratio and
Current Ratio, are not applicable to our company.
Credit Business
Credit business of ECLF offers retail credit including SME, Agri and LAP loans, ESOP & IPO
funding, and corporate credit including structured collateralised loans and real estate developer
finance.
At Edelweiss, we have built a significant competitive position in the credit business that is spread
across wholesale and retail finance segments. It has both robust size and scalability. Our growth
aspiration is fueled by a deep understanding of customer needs and an innovative product suite
aligned to meet their requirements. Our competitive edge will come from investments in direct
technology platform and next generation data analytics as we scale across SME, agri-loans and
rural finance etc.
Total gross credit book of ECLF stands at Rs.86.34 billion at the end of this year compared to
Rs.136.32 billion at the end of previous year.
The asset quality of the overall credit book continued to remain under control in spite of
headwinds with Gross NPLs at 7.23% and Net NPLs at 6.34% as on March 31, 2021 compared to
3.76% and 3.27% respectively a year ago. The specific Provision Coverage Ratio (PCR) on Gross
NPLs was 12.33% at the end of FY21 compared to 13.54% at the end of FY20. Total Provision
Cover including the expected credit loss provision on stage I and II assets is 84.54% at the end of
this year compared to 158.58% at the end of FY20.
For any large NBFC like ours, its capital forms the most important resource, besides the human
capital. From its earliest days, ECLF has recognised this and has always focused its energies in
creating a strong and liquid balance sheet. A strong balance sheet also enables us easier access to
market borrowings on the back of a strong credit rating. The Government Securities amounting
to Rs.8,636.41 million that we hold in our Investment Portfolio help us in the liquidity
management as we are able to borrow on an overnight basis from CBLO market against these
securities. A liquid balance sheet simultaneously enables ECLF to redeploy capital efficiently
towards business opportunities that appear at short notice.
With enhanced monitoring of liquidity cushion, we could successfully navigate the liquidity
crunch in the second half of FY21 meeting our entire maturing obligation on time or even ahead
of time in some cases.
FY20-21 witnessed ECLF contracting Rs.18 billion of medium to long term debt (NCDs) with
Banks. The outstanding amount of Market Linked Debentures as at the end of FY21 was Rs.587.24

OPPORTUNITIES
Financial services in India continue to offer enormous and scalable opportunities for companies
like our company as under notwithstanding the recent economic downturn worsened by a
prolonged Pandemic as the long-term growth story of India remains intact:
While the economy is gradually coming out of the shadows of the pandemic, following threats
cannot be ruled out and these, if they materialize, could reverse the current revival of the
economy including NBFC sector in India:
• A prolonged second COVID-19 wave may reverse recovery of macro-economy,
domestically as well as globally.
• If the current challenges for NBFCs to source liabilities do not resolve soon, growth will continue
to be a challenge for the sector.
• Any abnormal surge in oil prices or weak monsoon or further delay in revival of capex cycle
can also inhibit growth.
While the GDP growth forecast for FY22 is robust, threats as outlined above can quickly derail
the current momentum of the economy. Though we are in the midst of another Covid-19 wave,
we are also going through the biggest vaccination program that the world has seen. Hopefully,
impact of the second wave will not be as severe as the first one. Our confidence in the long-term
India story continues to remain intact and growth opportunities will come back sooner than later.
As we look forward, we will continue to focus on culture, people, nurturing and scaling our
business. At the same time, we will also see some new paradigms of focus – process and
institutionalization and tech-oriented thinking.
As the economy gains traction gradually, we are well-placed to take advantage of this India
growth cycle. With strong capitalisation, tailwinds from the economy and the inherent strength
of our business, we are looking at an exciting and fulfilling journey ahead.
ENTERPRISE GROUPS
The business of ECLF is controlled and supported by a core of Enterprise Groups that provide
consistent quality and rigour to key process functions. While ECLF itself is responsible and
equipped with management of enterprise functions, it also draws upon the support from and
expertise available at the Group level. Various steps taken by us to improve efficacy of Enterprise
functions are detailed below.
GOVERNANCE
Our Board plays vital role in ensuring highest Governance level within the company by setting
tone from top throughout the fabric of our organisation. They set higher standards on ethics,
integrity, transparency and fairness leading us to build good framework for conduct, behaviour
and process oversights at all levels.
In order to promote good governance culture, we have self-defined rules for good behaviour and
conduct at individual as well as at entity levels covering issues of Conflict of Interest, Insider
Trading, dealing with sensitive information etc. Learning from the recent past, we are refining
some of practices to facilitate smooth functioning while working from home through use of
technology ensuring that best in class compliance standards are met always.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk management is integral part of business at Edelweiss. The good risk management practices
of the Group have facilitated navigating through environmentally turbulent times. Respect for
Risk is central to every business decision at Edelweiss. Simple questions are to be answered
before every decision, i.e., "Is it worth it?” and "Can we afford it?”. This principle-based approach
has stood well in protecting the organisation from vagaries of external world.
While we have been managing various risks, a need for holistic approach to risk management led
us to embrace the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework sometime back at the Group
level. This framework has helped us strategically benchmark our practices across different
business lines to the best in class levels. We have also put in place an in-house “Eleven-risk
framework” to formalize the process of Assess, Avoid, Manage and Mitigate risks across business
verticals in a continuous manner.
The risk governance structure at Edelweiss Group includes Board Risk Committee, Global Risk
Committee, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Council, Corporate Risk & Assurance,
Investment Committees, Credit Committees & Business Risk Groups. While all the Group entities
follow and implement the central philosophy of Risk Management, following the needs of our
entity, the Business Risk Group within ECLF has been further strengthened.
Risk Culture is of paramount importance to Edelweiss Group. We have taken multiple initiatives
to further improve and strengthen the Risk Culture through the organisation. Appropriate risk
behaviour is recognized and applauded through specific reward and recognition programs.
In the short term, we are focused towards fighting the battle against COVID-19 and work is
happening on different fronts for ensuring that we adapt to the New Normal going forward as
expeditiously as possible.
We have the business risk team within our company which ensures implementation of risk
philosophy and practices of Edelweiss Group at business level. Our risk team also ensures that
necessary action is taken to make certain that identified risks are adequately addressed.
Key Risks
ECLF deals in multiple asset classes and client segments and is thus exposed to various risks that
can be broadly classified as follows -
Credit Risk
The credit risk framework of ECLF ensures prior and periodic comprehensive assessment of
every client, counterparty and collateral. Exposure limits are sanctioned to counterparties based
on their credit worthiness. Credit risk monitoring mechanism ensures that exposure to clients is
diversified and remains within stipulated limits. Careful selection of quality and quantum of
collateral is key for a client limit. Effective credit risk management has enabled us to steer through
the current environmental stress conditions without any major impact.
Market Risk
ECLF faces the usual market risks on the liabilities as well as assets side. In order to monitor such
market risk, a comprehensive set of reports and limits has been put in place that track positions,
value at risk and duration of assets. The risk framework ensures that the risks are monitored and
necessary timely action is taken for every single instance of breach, in case they occur.
Additionally, the asset liability mismatch and collateral margins are regularly assessed. Liquidity
requirements are closely monitored and necessary care is taken to maintain sufficient liquidity
cushion for maturing liabilities and for any unforeseen requirements. We also ensure
diversification in source of borrowing to reduce dependence on a single source. We also pro-
actively modify our liabilities profile in sync with the changing assets profile to ensure that we
do not carry any material asset liability mismatch.
Operational Risk
All of the above will also help us in ensuring our compliance with Companies Act 2013
requirement of “adequate internal financial controls system and operating effectiveness of such
controls”.
Fraud Risk
Business environment, increasing complexities and sophistication of technology makes us
vulnerable to both internal & external fraud risks. At Edelweiss Group level we have defined and
implemented an anti-fraud framework which lays emphasis on proactive reporting & early
detection of incidents and which is also followed by us. Trainings & campaigns ensure that
Edelites are cognizant of this risk. More specifically, for ECLF, due diligence on borrower’s
income, KYC and title reports is carried out strictly as per laid down policy to ensure frauds are
avoided.
ECL Finance has BCP – Business Continuity Plan in place to mitigate such exigencies. We
continuously test check and review the processes. In Covid-19 pandemic, for more than a year
now, ECL Finance has shown tremendous flexibility in all processes. All our processes were
tested and suitably strengthened in Work From Home Covid environment.
Covid-19 Risk
The Covid-19 pandemic is a biggest test for World Economy. Pandemic will have an
unprecedented macro-economic shock to financial systems.
ECL Finance focused on being proactive and conducted periodic portfolio reviews and took
suitable measures to mitigate the risks arising from such events.
Our paranoia about risk management has helped us to steer though environmental stress in
recent times without a major impact.
Edelweiss Group has institutionalised a strong compliance culture across all the business entities
recognising that transparency and trust amongst all its stakeholders can be achieved only through
this. We believe compliance is the cornerstone of good corporate citizenship.
The internal controls at Edelweiss are commensurate with the business requirements, its scale of
operation and applicable statutes to ensure orderly and efficient conduct of business. These
controls have been designed to ensure reasonable assurance with regard to maintaining proper
accounting controls, substantiation of financial statements and adherence to IND AS
requirements, safeguarding of resources, prevention and detection of frauds and errors, ensuring
operating effectiveness, reliability of financial reporting, compliance with applicable regulations
and relevant matters covered under section 134 (5) (e) of the Companies Act 2013.
Internal Audit
Internal Auditors follow Standards on Internal Audit along with guidelines issued by regulators
and ensure compliance with section 138 of the Companies Act 2013, read with Rule 13 of the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, as amended and notified from time to time. The Internal
Audit function operates under the supervision of the Audit Committee of the Board.
The internal audits are carried out by external professionals who provide independent view and
assurance by assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of internal control, compliance to internal
and external guidelines and risk management practices. Internal Audit reports are reviewed by
the Audit Committee of the Board.
HUMAN RESOURCES
Crisis begets opportunity and It is the strength of our people that has turned the pandemic and
volatile economic environment into opportunity with their energy, persistence and agile
thinking. Along with this, anchored to our guiding principles, our culture and values continue to
guide our choices and keep us resilient.
Edelweiss’s biggest strength has always been its people. They are always at the core of all designs,
initiatives and programs in creating better experience through their life cycle of hiring,
engagement, development.
Edelweiss Group is a cross-cultural mosaic and our strength lies in our diversity everywhere,
within teams and across the organisation. Our diversity makes us stronger by bringing in fresh
ideas, perspectives, experiences and fostering a truly collaborative workplace. The sense of
ownership each one of us has displayed over the years is a testament to the culture of
entrepreneurship we have tried to foster in Edelweiss. We share the Edelweiss group HR
philosophy.
Our offices are reimagined and repurposed to support work from home and hybrid work
feasibility enabling employees to connect, collaborate, manage work interactions with a mix of
remote, onsite and hybrid workforce, as well as with the clients.
A significant component of our value based culture is our commitment to acknowledge and
appreciate efforts of our employees through recognition programs that honor exemplary risk
management, collaboration, customer centricity, people development, technology and
innovation.
Taking care of our people with a framework that is fair, collaborative, compliant and responsive,
Edelweiss represents a winning combination of people, opportunities and development.
Leadership
In the changed context, virtual leadership emerged to ensure that plans, decisions, information,
and accomplishments are shared to motivate team members while sustaining connection, trust,
and engagement with team members through frequent check-ins.
Our tiered Edelweiss Group Leadership Program in businesses continues to build capacities to
nurture top talent in entry and mid-level. Focus on Senior leadership cohort continues to build a
strong thinking body which acts as catalyst to shape our strategy. We are a part of this Group
Leadership Programme.
Technology resiliency
The key pillars of Edelweiss Group technology resiliency have been:
- Cloud adoption: Migrating to the cloud ensured high availability, scalability and resiliency of
our business applications with employees being able to securely access from anywhere, using
any device and at any time
- Unified collaboration suite: Deployment of a unified collaboration suite helped improve the
employee productivity
- Intelligent Automation: This enabled us to develop new experiences and deliver process
changes rapidly through low code software development tools
- Artificial Intelligence: Leveraging advanced Machine Learning algorithms, we have
deployed over 20 models for evaluating risks, performing AML checks, doing customer KYC,
identifying frauds, etc. in the Group companies thereby building efficiencies in our business
Information Security
During the height of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the threat landscape reached a critical
tipping point that will change cybersecurity forever. The new work-from-home reality brought
about exponentially greater attack surfaces to introduce an untold number of new vectors and
infinite opportunities for disruption. In order to cater to this changing landscape, we have moved
away from the traditional castle-and-moat security model to zero trust security model. This new
model requires strict identity verification for every person and device trying to access resources
on a private corporate network, regardless of whether they are sitting within or outside of the
corporate network perimeter.
Cloud-scale infrastructure and widely available attacker tools (PowerShell, Mimikatz and Cobalt
Strike, all developed for legitimate use), combined with anonymous payment via Bitcoin, are
tilting the playing field and arming threat actors of all sizes. Hence, enhancing the Cloud security
framework and governance at Edelweiss Group will continue to be a priority area for the year.
Further, we have implemented state-of-the art security solutions for data classification, data
protection, data loss prevention, advanced threat protection, zero-day protection….etc. For
CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
At Edelweiss, Customer Experience (CX) is regarded as a key pillar of business success in true
spirit.
With this motto in sight, we have continued to build a culture of customer-centric business. To
drive this agenda, we have also implemented various measures including digital upgrade.
Through these efforts, we are responding to evolving customer needs, and institutionalizing these
processes across the organisation, to ensure a superlative experience for all our customers,
throughout the value chain.

Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Standalone Ind AS financial statements of ECL Finance Limited ("the
Company"), which comprise the Balance sheet as at March 31, 2021, the Statement of Profit and Loss,
including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of
Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
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, as amended
("the 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, 2021, its loss
including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that
date.
We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs),
as specified under section 143(10) of the Act. 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 Act 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 audit
opinion on the financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 54.Z to the Standalone Ind AS financial statements, which describes the
economic and social disruption as a result of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic of the Company's
business and financial metrics including the Company's estimates of impairment of loans to customers,
investments and recoverability of deferred tax assets and that such estimates may be affected by the
severity and duration of the pandemic.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2021. These matters were
addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our
description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our
report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the
financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Directors 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
S.R. BATLIBOI & Co. LLP
Chartered Accountants
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether such 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.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with
respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial
position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity
of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. 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
the 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 the 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.
► Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3Xi) of the Act, we are also responsible
for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with
reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
timates and related disclosures made by management.
onclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
ased on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or

Chartered Accountants
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.
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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the financial year ended March 31,
2021 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless
law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,
we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences
of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Annexure 2 referred to in paragraph 2 (f) under the heading "Report on other legal and regulatory
requirements" of our report of even date
Report on Internal Financial Controls under Clause (I) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies
Act, 2013 (the "Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of ECL Finance Limited ("the
Company") as of March 31, 2021 in conjunction with our audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements of the
Company for the year ended on that date.
The Company's Management 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 the 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 Act.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial
reporting with reference to these Ind AS Financial Statements 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") and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10) of the Act, to the
extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. 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 with reference to these Ind AS Financial Statements
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 over financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS Financial Statements and their
operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS
Financial Statements, 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 over financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS
Financial Statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting with Reference to these Ind AS
Financial Statements
A company's internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS Financial
Statements 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 with

/ '?~,,.,.. ............,If. maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and

accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only
in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal F'inancial Controls Over F'lnanclal Reporting with Reference to these
Ind AS F'lnanclal Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to
these Ind AS Financial Statements, 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 with reference to these Ind AS
Financial Statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over
financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS Financial Statements 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, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial
reporting with reference to these Ind AS Financial Statements and such internal financial controls over
financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS Financial Statements were operating effectively as at
March 31, 2021, 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.

ECL Finance Limited
Notes to the financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2021
1. Corporate information:
ECL Finance Limited ('the Company' ) a public limited company domiciled and incorporated under the provisions
of the Companies Act applicable in India is subsidiary of Edelweiss Financial S<!rvices Limited. The Company was
incorporated on July 18, 2005 and is registered with the Reserve Bank of India ('RBI') as a Systemically Important
Non-Deposit taking Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC-ND-SI).
The Company's primary business is advancing loans and financing. The Company focuses on credit business, a
mix of diversified and scalable verticals like retail credit, corporate credit and distressed credit. It offers home
finance. retail construction finance, loan against property, SME finance agri & rural finance and loan against
securities under retail credit and structured collateralised credits to corporates, real estate finance to developers
under corporate credit.
2. Basis of preparation:
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind
AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time).
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments
such as, derivative financial instruments, Investment property, and other financial instruments held for trading,
which have been measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR) and all
values are rounded to the nearest million, except when otherwise indicated.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are generally reported gross in the balance sheet. They are only offset and
reported net when, in addition to having an unconditional legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts
without being contingent on a future event, the parties also intend to settle on a net basis in all of the following
circumstances:
Derivative assets and liabilities with master netting arrangements (e.g. ISDAs) are only presented net when they
satisfy the eligibility of netting for all of the above criteria and not just in the event of default.
Under Ind AS I 09 interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR) method for
all financial instruments measured at amortised cost and debt instrument measured at FVTOCI
The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life
of the financial instrument or, when appropriate a shorter period to the gross carrying amount of
financial instrument.
The EIR is calculated by considering any discount or premium on acquisition, fees and costs that
are an integral part of the EIR. The Company recognises interest income using a rate of return
that represents the best estimate of a constant rate of return over the expected life of the financial
asset. Hence, it recognises the effect of potentially different interest rates charged at various
ECL Finance Limited
Notes to the financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2021
stages, and other characteristics of the product life cycle including prepayments penalty interest
and charges.
If expectations regarding the cash flows on the financial asset are revised for reason s other than
credit risk, the adj ustment is booked as a positive or negative adjustment to the carrying amount
of the asset in the balance sheet with an increase or reduction in interest income.
The Company calculates interest income by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of
financial assets other than credit-impaired assets.
When a financial asset becomes credit-impaired and is, therefore, regarded as 'Stage 3 ' , the
Company calculates interest income by applying the EIR to the amortised cost (net of expected
credit loss) of the financial asset. If the financial assets cures and is no longer credit-impaired, the
Company reverts to calculating interest income on a gross basis.
The Company recognised Dividend income when the Company's right to receive the payment
has been established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will
flow to the Company and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
Revenue is measured at transaction price i.e. the amount of consideration to which the Company
expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to the customer,
excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company consider the tenns of the
contracts and its customary business practices to detennine the transaction price. Where the
consideration promised is variable, the Company excludes the estimates ofvariable consideration
that are constrained.
The Company recognises fee income including advisory and syndication fees at a point in time
in accordance with the tenns and contracts entered between the Company and the counterparty.
Financial Assets and liabilities with exception ofloans and borrowings are initially recognised on
the trade date, i.e. the date the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument. This includes regular way trades: purchases or sales of financial assets that require
delivery of assets within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the
marketplace. Loans are recognised when funds are transferred to the customers' account. The
Company recognises borrowings when funds are available for utilisation to the Company.
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. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
When the transaction price of the financial instrument differs from the fair value at origination and
the fair value is based on a valuation technique using only inputs observable in market transactions,
the Company recognises the difference between the transaction price and fair value in net gain on
fair value changes. In those cases where fair value is based on models for which some of the inputs
ECL Finance Limited
Notes to the financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2021
are not observable, the difference between the transaction price and the fair value is deferred and
is only recognised in profit or loss when the inputs become observable, or when the instrument is
derecognised.
4.2.4 Classification & measurement categories of financial assets and liabilities:
The Company classifies all of its financial assets based on the business model for managing the
assets and the asset's contractual terms, measured at either:
A financial asset is measured at FVTOCI if it is held within a business model whose objective is
achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and 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. The changes in fair value of financial
assets is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are measured at FVTPL.
The Company measures all financial assets classified as FVTPL at fair value at each reporting ate.
The changes in fair value of financial assets is recognised in Profit and loss account.
For financial instruments other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the
effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all
fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction
costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit losses, through the expected life
of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross canying amount of the
debt instrument on initial recognition.
The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at
initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the
effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount,
adjusted for any loss allowance. On the other hand, the gross canying amount of a financial asset
is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.
The Company classifies financial assets as held for trading when they have been purchased
primarily for short-term profit making through trading activities or form part of a portfolio of
financial instruments that are managed together, for which there is evidence of a recent pattern of
short-term profit taking. Held-for-trading assets are recorded and measured in the balance sheet at
fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in net gain on fair value changes.
ECL Finance Limited
Notes to the financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2021
The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value through profit or loss.
unless the management has elected to classify irrevocably some of its strategic equity investments
to be measured at FVOCI, when such instruments meet the definition of Equity under Ind AS 32
Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. Such classification is determined
on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
All financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost except loan commitments, financial
guarantees, and derivative financial liabilities.
The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to
interest rate, market risk and foreign exchange rate risks.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into
and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The
resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.
The Company measures debt issued and other borrowed funds at Amortised cost at each reporting
date. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on issue funds,
and costs that are an integral part of the EIR.
The Company issues certain non-convertible debentures, the return of which is linked to
performance of specified indices over the period of the debenture. Such debentures have a
component of an embedded derivative which is fair valued at a reporting date. The resultant ' net
unrealised loss or gain' on the fair valuation of these embedded derivatives is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss. The debt component of such debentures is measured at amortised cost
using yield to maturity basis.
4.3. 7 Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss:
Financial assets and financial liabilities in this category are those that are not held for trading and
have been either designated by management upon initial recognition or are mandatorily required
to be measured at fair value under Ind AS 109. Management only designates an instrument at·
FVTPL upon initial recognition when one of the following criteria are met. Such designation is
determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
• The designation eliminates, or significantly reduces, the inconsistent treatment that would
otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognising gains or losses on them
on a different basis; Or
• The liabilities are part of a group of financial liabilities, which are managed, and their
perfonnance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk
management or investment strategy; Or
• The liabilities containing one or more embedded derivatives, unless they do not significantly
modify the cash flows that would otherwise be required by the contract, or it is clear with
little or no analysis when a similar instrument is first considered that separation of the
embedded derivative(s) is prohibited.
Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value.
Changes in fair value are recorded in profit and loss with the exception of movements in fair value
of liabilities designated at FVTPL due to changes in the Company's own credit risk. Such changes
in fair value are recorded in the Own credit reserve through OCI and do not get recycled to the
profit or loss. Interest earned or incurred on instruments designated at FVTPL is accrued in interest
ECL Finance Limited
Notes to the financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2021
income or finance cost, respectively, using the EIR, taking into account any discount/ premium and
qualifying transaction costs being an integral part of instrument. Interest earned on assets
mandatorily required to be measured at FVTPL is recorded using contractual interest rate.
Financial guarantees are contract that requires the Company to make specified payments to
reimburse to holder for loss that it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when it
is due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee issued or commitments to provide a loan at below market interest rate are
initially measured at fair value and the initial fair value is amortised over the life of the guarantee
or the commitment. Subsequently they are measured at higher of this amortised amount and the
amount of loss allowance.
Undrawn loan commitments are commitments under which, the Company is required to provide a
loan with pre-specified terms to the customer over the duration of the commitment. Undrawn loan
commitments are in the scope of the ECL requirements.
Financial 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 ofa 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 are recognised at the
proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
The Company does not reclassify its financial assets subsequent to their initial recognition, apart from the
exceptional circumstances in which the Company acquires, disposes of, or terminates a business line. The
Company didn't reclassify any of its financial assets or liabilities in current period and previous period.
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or a part of a group of similar
financial assets) is derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have
expired. The Company also derecognises the financial asset if it has both transferred the financial
asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition.
The Company has transferred the financial asset if, and only if, either
• The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
• It retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset but assumed a
contractual obligation to pay the cash flows in full without material delay to third party under
pass through arrangement.
Pass-through arrangements are transactions whereby the Company retains the contractual rights to
receive the cash flows of a financial asset (the 'original asset'), but assumes a contractual obligation
to pay those cash flows to one or more entities (the ' eventual recipients'), when all of the following
conditions are met:
• The Company has no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipients unless it has
collected equivalent amounts from the original asset, excluding short-term advances with the
right to full recovery of the amount lent plus accrued interest at market rates.
ECL Finance Limited
Notes to the financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2021
• The Company cannot sell or pledge the original asset other than as security to the eventual
recipients.
The Company has to remit any cash flows it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients without
material delay. In addition, the Company is not entitled to reinvest such cash flows, except for
investments in cash or cash equivalents including interest earned, during the period between the
collection date and the date of required remittance to the eventual recipients.
• The Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or
• The Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of
the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
The Company considers control to be transferred if and only if, the transferee has the practical
ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party and is able to exercise that ability
unilaterally and without imposing additional restrictions on the transfer.
The Company also derecognises a financial asset, when the terms and conditions have been
renegotiated to the extent that, substantially, it becomes a new financial asset, with the difference
recognised as a derecognition gain or loss, to the extent that an impairment loss has not already
been recorded. The newly recognised financial assets are classified as Stage I for ECL
measurement purposes, unless the new financial asset is deemed to be POCJ.
If the modification does not result in cash flows that are substantially different, the modification
does not result in derecognition. Based on the change in cash flows discounted at the original EIR,
the Company records a modification gain or loss, to the extent that an impairment loss has not
already been recorded.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled
or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on
substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such
an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition ofthe original liability and the recognition
of a new liability. The difference between the carrying value of the original financial liability and
the consideration paid, including modified contractual cash flow recognised as new financial
liability, is recognised statement of profit and loss.
The Company records provisions based on expected credit loss model ("ECL") on all loans, other debt
financial assets measured at amortised cost together with undrawn loan commitment, in this section all
referred to as "Financial instrument". Equity instruments are not subject to impairment.
ECL is a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. A credit loss is the difference between the cash flows
that are due to an entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive
discounted at the original effective interest rate. Because ECL consider the amount and timing of payments,
a credit loss arises even if the entity expects to be paid in full but later than when contractually due.
Simplified approach
The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recogmt1on of impairment loss allowance on trade
receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit
risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right
from its initial recognition. The Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on
portfolio of its receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the
expected life of the receivables. However, if receivables contain a significant financing component, the
ECL Finance Limited
Notes to the financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2021
Company chooses as its accounting policy to measure the loss allowance by applying general approach to
measure ECL.
General approach
For all other financial instruments, the Company recognises lifetime ECL when there has been a significant
increase in credit risk (SICR) since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on the financial
instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance
for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses (12m ECL). The
assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood
or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition instead of an evidence of a financial asset being credit-
impaired at the reporting date or an actual default occurring.
Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the
expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12m ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is
expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the
reporting date.
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default (PD), loss given default
(LGD) (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the
probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking
information. As for the exposure at default (EAD), for financial assets, this is represented by the assets' gross
carrying amount at the reporting date; for loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, the exposure
includes the amount drawn down as at the reporting date, together with any additional amounts expected to
be drawn down in the future by default date determined based on historical trend, the Company's
understanding of the specific future financing needs of the debtors, and other relevant forward-looking
information.
Stage 1 assets:
Stage I assets includes financial instruments that have not had a significant increase in credit risk since initial
recognition or that have low credit risk at the reporting date. For these assets, 12-month ECL (resulting from
default events possible within 12 months from reporting date) are recognised.
Stage 2 assets:
Stage 2 Assets includes financial instruments that have had a significant increase in credit risk since initial
recognition for these assets lifetime ECL (resulting from default events possible within 12 months from
reporting date) are recognised.
Stage 3 assets:
Stage 3 for Assets considered credit-impaired the Company recognises the lifetime ECL for these loans. The
method is similar to that for Stage 2 assets, with the PD set at 100%.
The ongoing assessment of whether a significant increase in credit risk has occurred for working capital
facilities is similar to other lending products. The interest rate used to discount the ECLs for working capital
facilities is based on the average effective interest rate that is expected to be charged over the expected period
of exposure to the facilities.
Company recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a
corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
The expected credit losses on the loan commitment have been recognised together with the loss allowance
for the financial asset.
The Company's product offering includes a working capital facility with a right to company to cancel and/or
reduce the facilities with one day's notice. The Company does not limit its exposure to credit losses to the
contractual notice period, but, instead calculates ECL over a period that reflects the Company's expectations
of the customer behaviour, its likelihood of default and the Company's future risk mitigation procedures,
hich could include reducing or cancelling the facilities.
ECL Finance Limited
Notes to the financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2021
To mitigate its credit risks on financial assets, the Company seeks to use collateral, whe re possible. The
collateral comes in various fonns, such as cash, securities, letters ofcredit /guarantees, real estate, receivables,
inventories, other non-financial assets and credit enhancements such as netting agreements. Collateral, unless
repossessed, is not recorded on the Company's balance sheet. However, the fair value of collateral affects the
calculation ofECLs. It is generally assessed, at a minimum, at inception and re-assessed on a quarterly basis.
However, some collateral, for example, securities relating to margin requirements, is valued daily.
To the extent possible, the Company uses active market data for valuing financial assets held as collateral.
Other financial assets which do not have readily detenninable market value are valued using models. Non-
financial collateral, such as real estate, is valued based on data provided by third parties such as mortgage
brokers or based on housing price indices.
The Company's policy is to detennine whether a repossessed asset can be best used for its internal operations
or should be sold. Assets determined to be useful for the internal operations are transferred to their relevant
asset category at the lower oftheir repossessed value or the carrying value ofthe original secured asset. Assets
for which selling is determined to be a better option are transferred to assets held for sale at their fair value
(if financial assets) and fair value less cost to sell for non-financial assets at the.repossession date in, line with
the Company's policy.
In its normal course of business, the Company does not physically repossess properties or other assets in its
retail portfolio, but engages external agents to recover funds, generally at auction, to settle outstanding debt.
Any surplus funds are returned to the customers/obligors. As a result of this practice, the residential properties
under legal repossession processes are not recorded on the balance sheet.
4.9 Write-offs:
Financial assets are written off either partially or in their entirety only when the Company has no reasonable
expectation ofrecovery besides technical / policy write off as per relevant policy.
The Company sometimes makes concessions or modifications to the original terms ofloans as a response to
the borrower' s financial difficulties, rather than taking possession or to otherwise enforce collection of
collateral. The Company considers a loan forborne when such concessions or modifications are provided as
a result of the borrower's present or expected financial difficulties and the Company would not have agreed
to them if the borrower had been financially healthy. Indicators of financial difficu !ties include defaults on
covenants, or significant concerns raised by the Credit Risk Department. Forbearance may involve extending
the payment arrangements and the agreement of new loan conditions. Once the terms have been renegotiated,
any impairment is measured using the original EIR as calculated before the modification of terms. It is the
Company's policy to monitor forborne loans to help ensure that future payments continue to be likely to
occur. Derecognition decisions and classification between Stage 2 and Stage 3 are determined on a case-by-
case basis. If these procedures identify a loss in relation to a loan, it is disclosed and managed as an impaired
Stage 3 forborne asset, until it is collected or written off.
The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each reporting date. 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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either;
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
ECL Finance Limited
Notes to the financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2021
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use
when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair
value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant
that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Company uses valuation techniques that are
appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising
the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. In order to show how
fair values have been derived, financial instruments are classified based on a hierarchy of valuation
techniques, as summarised below:
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company
determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization
(based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each
reporting period. The Company periodically reviews its valuation techniques including the adopted
methodologies and model calibrations.
Therefore, the Company applies various techniques to estimate the credit risk associated with its financial
instruments measured at fair value, which include a portfolio-based approach that estimates the expected net
exposure per counterparty over the full lifetime of the individual assets, in order to reflect the credit risk of
the individual counterparties for non-collateralised financial instruments.
The Company evaluates the levelling at each reporting period on an instrument-by-instrument basis and
reclassifies instruments when necessary based on the facts at the end of the reporting period.
4.12 Leases:
Company as a lessee:
The Company has applied Ind AS 116 using the partial retrospective approach.
The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term
leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and
right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the
underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of
right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease
payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets
are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of
the assets.
ECL Finance Limited
Notes to the financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2021
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present
value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including
in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an
index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. In calculating the present
value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date
because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the
amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments
made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change
in the lease tenn, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in
an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a c hange in the assessment of an option to purchase
the underlying asset.
The Company has elected not to recognise right of use asset and lease liabilities for short term leases of
property that has lease term of 12 months or less. The Company recognises lease payment associated with
these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over lease tenn.
Company as lessor:
The Company's accounting policy under Ind AS 116 has not changed from the comparative period. As a
lessor the Company classifies its leases as either operating or finance leases. A lease is classified as a finance
lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset, and
classified as an operating lease if it does not
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax attributable to the equity shareholders
for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding for the year.
Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
equity shares were exercised or converted during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing
the net profit after tax attributable to the equity shareholders for the year by weighted average number of
equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and weighted average number of equity shares
that could have been issued upon conversion of all potential equity shares.
The Standalone Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees which is also functional currency of the
Company. Transactions in currencies other than Indian Rupees (i.e. foreign currencies) are recognised at the
rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary
items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary
items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at
the date when the fair value was detennined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical
cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Notes to the financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2021
The Company contributes to a recognised provident fund and national pension scheme which is a
defined contribution scheme. The contributions are accounted for on an accrual basis and
recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
4.15.2 Gratuity:
The Company's gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. The Company's net obligation in respect
of the gratuity benefit scheme is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that the
employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. that benefit is
discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any plan assets, if any, is deducted.
The present value of the obligation under such benefit plan is determined based on independent
actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
Re-measurement, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect ofthe asset ceiling, excluding
amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets
(excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised
immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through
OCI in the period in which they occur.
The Company has adopted a Deferred Bonus Plan under its Deferred Variable Compensation Plan.
A pool of identified senior employees of the Company is entitled for benefits under this plan. Such
deferred compensation will be paid in a phased manner over a future period of time The
measurement for the same has been based on actuarial assumptions and principles.
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees are granted by the ultimate parent Company.
These are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. These
includes Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) where the right to receive the difference between the
SAR price and the market price of equity shares of the ultimate parent Company on the date of
exercise, either by way of cash or issuance of equity shares of the ultimate parent Company, is at
the discretion of the ultimate parent Company. These are classified as equity settled share-based
transaction.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed
over the vesting period, based on the Group's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually
vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. Atthe end of each reporting period, the Group revises
its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the
original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects
the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the 'ESOP reserve'. In cases where the
share options granted vest in instalments over the vesting period, the Group treats each instalment
as a separate grant, because each instalment has a different vesting period, and hence the fair value
of each instalment differs.
Property plant and equipment is stated at cost excluding the costs of day- to-<lay servicing, less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment in value. Changes in the expected useful life are accounted for by
ECL Finance Limited
Notes to the financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2021
changing the amortisation period or methodology, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting
estimates.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate,
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and
the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a
separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are recognized in profit or
loss during the reporting period, in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under
construction) less their residual values over their useful lives. Depreciation is provided on a written down
value basis from the date the asset is ready for its intended use or put to use whichever is earlier. In respect
of assets sold, depreciation is provided upto the date of disposal.
As per the requirement of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, the Company has evaluated the useful
lives of the respective fixed assets which are as per the provisions of Part C of the Schedule II for calculating
the depreciation. The estimated useful lives of the fixed assets are as follows:
4. 17 Intangible assets:
An intangible asset is recognised only when its cost can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the
expected future economic benefits that are attributable to it will flow to the Company
Intangibles such as software are amortised over a period of 3 years based on its estimated useful life..
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired
based on internal/external factors. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable
amount ofthe asset. Ifsuch recoverable amount ofthe asset or the recoverable amount of cash generating unit
which the asset belongs to is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable
amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists,
the recoverable amount is reassessed, and the impairment is reversed subject to a maximum carrying value of
the asset before impairment.
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a
past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can
be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are
determined by discounting the expected future cash flows to net present value using an appropriate pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the
risks speci fie to the liability.
ECL Finance limited
Notes to the financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2021
A present obligation that arises from past events, where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made, is disclosed as a contingent
liability. Contingent liabilities are also disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events,
the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Claims against the Company, where the
possibility of any outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are not disclosed as contingent liabilities.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements since this may result in the recognition of
income that may never be realised. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the
related asset is not a contingent asset and is recognised.
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from 'profit
before tax' as reported in the statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense
that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The
Company's current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted
by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of
taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary
differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences
to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible
temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to
allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the
period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would
follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to
recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and
deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
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.
Notes to the financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2021
readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience
and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of
the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
As explained in note 52.D.l, ECL is measured as an allowance equal to 12-month ECL for stage I assets, or
lifetime ECL for stage 2 or stage 3 assets. An asset moves to stage 2 when its credit risk has increased
significantly since initial recognition. In assessing whether the credit risk of an asset has significantly
increased the Company takes into account qualitative and quantitative reasonable and supportable forward-
looking information.
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty
at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, as described below. The Company
based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared.
Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market
changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in
the assumptions when they occur.
The fair value of financial instruments 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 observable or
estimated using another valuation technique. When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities
recorded in the balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of
valuation techniques that include the use of valuation models. The inputs to these models are taken from
observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, estimation is required in establishing fair
values. Judgements and estimates include considerations of liquidity and model inputs related to items such
as credit risk (both own and counterparty), funding value adjustments, correlation and volatility.
Notes to the financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2021
The Company's EIR methodology, as explained in Note 4.1, recognises interest income / expense using a rate
of return that represents the best estimate of a constant rate of return over the expected behavioural life of
loans given / taken and recognises the effect of potentially different interest rates at various stages and other
characteristics of the product life cycle including prepayments and penalty interest and charges.
This estimation, by nature requires an element of judgement regarding the expected behaviour and life cycle
of the instrument, as well expected changes India's base rate and other fee income, expenses that are integral
part of the instrument
The measurement of impairment losses across all categories of financial assets requires judgement the
estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral values when determining impairment
losses and the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk. These estimates are driven by a number of
factors, changes in which can result in different levels of allowances.
The Company's ECL calculations are outputs of models with a number of underlying assumptions regarding
the choice of variable inputs and their interdependencies. Elements of the ECL models that are considered
accounting judgements and estimates include:
It is Company's policy to regularly review its models in the context of actual loss experience and adjust when
necessary.
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If
any indication exists, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount
is higher of an asset's fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. Where the carrying amount exceeds
its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
The Company operates in a regulatory and legal environment that, by nature, has a heightened element of
litigation risk inherent to its operations. As a result, it is involved in various litigation, arbitration and
regulatory investigations and proceedings in the ordinary course of its business.
When the Company can reliably measure the outflow of economic benefits in relation to a specific case and
considers such outflows to be probable, the Company records a provision against the case. Where the
probability of outflow is considered to be remote, or probable, but a reliable estimate cannot be made, a
contingent liability is disclosed.
Given the subjectivity and uncertainty of determining the probability and amount of losses, the Company
takes into account a number of factors including legal advice, the stage of the matter and historical evidence
from similar incidents. Significant judgement is required to conclude on these estimates.
Notes to the financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2021
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectation of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed
to be reasonable under the circumstances.
5.9 Leases:
Significant judgements are involved in evaluating if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the
requirements of Ind AS I 16. The Company also uses significant judgement in assessing the applicable
discount rate which is an equivalent to incremental borrowing rate estimated on best effort basis.

39.A During the previous year ended March 31, 2020, the Company completed its re-assessment of probability of default, loss given default in
respect of exposures to certain sectors that were experiencing operational challenges. Credit and market risks for certain counter parties
increased significantly relative to such risks at initial recognition, resulting in recognition of higher amount of expected credit losses and
gain/loss on fair value changes for the year ended March 3 I, 2020. Management judgement for expected credit losses and gain/loss on fair
values changes has been accentuated on account of factors caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, the Company has recorded for
the year ended March 31, 2020, an amount of Rs I 1,252.98 towards impainnent on financial instruments, Rs. 12,101.74 towards net loss
on derecognition of financial instrument and Rs. 775,88 towards fair value change on security receipts.
39.8 Under the Shareholders' Agreement dated March 5, 2019, entered between Edelweiss Financial Services Limited (EFSL), CDPQ Private
Equity Asia PTE. Limited (CDPQ) and the Company (together referred as Parties), EFSL had agreed, pursuant to clause 8.1 & 8.2 to make
equity investment of an amount equivalent to the amount of losses on Select real state/structured finance Loans (Select Loans) into the
Company within six months of the default leading to loss incurred by the Company on or before the date of the conversion of the Investor
CCDs into Equity Shares. The rationale for this undertaking was to keep the total equity/net worth of the Company unimpacted on account
of impainnent in these loan accounts. During the year ended March 31, 2021, Parties have discussed and agreed that loss event for two of
the borrowers in the Select Loans have crystahzed and hence, EFSL has agreed to make good the loss amounting to Rs. 1400.10 millions
incurred by the Company in earlier years. Accordingly, ECLF has recorded such recovery in its profit and loss account for the year ended
March 31 , 2021 . The Parties have agreed that no loss event has been crystalized in respect of other Select Loans mentioned in above said
clauses of the agreement and hence as at March 3 I, 2021 there is no obligation EFSL has as at March 31, 2021.

Sensitivity analysis:
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions
constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below.
Note: The sensitivity is performed on the DBO at the respective valuation date by modifying one parameter whilst retaining other parameters
constant. There are no changes from the previous year to the methods and assumptions underlying the sensitivity analyses.
The Company has an insurance plan invested in market linked bonds. The investment returns of the market-linked plan are sensitive to the changes
in interest rates. The liabilities' duration is not matched with the assets' duration.
Description of fundiag arrangements and funding policy that affect future contributions
The liabilities o f the fund are funded by assets. The company aims to maintain a close to full-funding position at each Balance Sheet da te. Future
expected contributions are disclosed based on this principle.
Maturity profile
The weighted average duration of the obligation is 3 years (March 3 1, 2020: 4 years) as at the date of valuation. This represents the weighted
average of the expected remaining lifetime of all plan participants.

A. Valuation principles
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid lo transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in lhe pnncipal (or mosl advanla1,'COus) market at the
measurement date under current markel conditions (i.e., an exit price), regardless of whether that price is directly observable or cstimaled using a valuation techmque . In order
to show how fair values have been derived. financial instrwnents arc classified based on a hierarchy ofvalualion techniques:
Level 1 - valuation technique using quoted market price: financial instruments with quo1ed prices for identical instruments in active markets lhal company can access al lhe
measurement date.
Level 2 - valuation lechniquc using observable inputs:Thosc where lhc inpuls lhat are used for valualion and arc significant, are derived from directly or indirectly observable
market data available over lhe enlire period oflhe instrument's life.
Level 3 - valuation lcchnique with significant unobservable inputs: Those lhat include one or more unobservable input that is significanl lo lhe measurement as whole.
The Company's fair value methodology and the governance over its models includes a number of controls and other procedures to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to
ensure its quality and adequacy. All new product initiatives (including their valuation melhodologies) are subject to approvals by various functions of the Company including
lhc risk and finance functions.
Where fair values are determined by reference to externally quoted prices or observable pricing inputs to models. independent price determination or validation is used. For
inactive market5, Company sources alternative market information, with greater weight given to infonnalion that is considered to be more relevant and reliable.
The responsibility of ongoing measurement resides wilh the business and product line divisions_ However finance department is also responsible for establishing procedures
l(oveminR valuation and ensuring fair values arc in compliance with accounting standards.

D. V1Ju1tion tecliniqlleS:
Government debt securities arc financial instruments issued by sovereign governments and include both long tenn bonds and sh0<1-tenn Treasury bills with fixed or floating rate
interest payments. These instruments arc generally highly liquid and traded in active markets resulting in a Level I classification.
Debt securities:
Whilst most of these instruments are standard fixed rate securities. however nifty linked debentures have embedded derivative characteristics. Fair value of these instruments is
derived based on the indicative quotes of price and yields prevailing in the market as at the reporting date. Group has used quoted price of national stock exchange wherever
bonds are traded actively. In cases where debt securities arc nOI activity traded Company has used CRISIL Corporate Bond Valuer model for measuring fair value.
Security receipes
The market for these securities is nOI a<:tive. Therefore, the Company uses valuation techniques to measure their fair values. Since the security receipts are less liquid
instruments therefore they are valued by discounted cash flow models. Expected cash flow levels arc estimated by using quantitative and qualitative measures regarding the
characteristics of the underlying assets including prepayment rates, default rates and other economic drivers. Securities receipts with significant unobservable valuation inputs
are classified as Level 3
The majority of equity instruments are actively traded on stock exchanges with readily available active prices on a regular basis. Such instruments are classified as Level I .
Units held in funds are measured based on their published net asset value {NAV), taking into account redemption and/or other restrictions. Such instruments are also classified
as Level 1. Equity instruments in non-listed entities are initially recognised at transaction price and re-measured at ea<:h rep0<1ing date at valuation provided by external valuer at
instrument level.
Units held in AIF funds are measured based on their published net asset value (NAV), taking into account redemption and/or other restrictions. Such instruments are classified
as Level 3
Eabedded derivative:
An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid instroment that also includes a non-derivative host contract with the effect that some of the cash flows of the combined
instrument vary in a way similar to a stand-alone derivative.
Company uses valuation models which calculate the present value of expected future cash flows, based upon ' no arbitrage' principles. Inputs to valuation models are
detennined from observable market (Indices) data wherever possible, including prices available from exchanges, dealers, brokers. company classify these embedded derivative
as level 3 instruments.
Exchange traded derivatives includes index/stock options, index/stock futures, company uses exchange traded prices to value these derivative and classify these instrument as
level 1

52. Risk Management
The Company strives for continual improvement through efforts to enhance controls, ongoing employee training and development and
other measures.
The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company' s risk management
framework. The board has established the Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the
Company's risk management policies. The Committee holds regular meetings and report to bo ard on its 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. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures,
the results of which are reported to the audit committee.
The Company's business processes ensure complete independence of functions and a segregation of responsibilities. Credit appraisal &
credit control processes, centralised operations unit, independent audit unit for checking compliance with the prescribed policies and
approving loans at transaction level as well as our risk management processes and policies allow layers of multiple checks and
verifications. Our key business processes are regularly monitored by the head of our business or operations. Our loan approval and
administration procedures, collection and enforcement procedures are designed to minimise delinquencies and maximise recoveries.
At all levels of the Company' s operations, specifically tailored risk reports are prepared and distributed in order to ensure that all business
divisions have access to extensive, necessary and up-to-date information.
It is the Company's policy that a monthly briefing is given to the Board of Directors and all other relevant members of the Company in the
utilisation of market limits, proprietary investments and liquidity, plus any other risk developments.
It is the Company's policy to ensure that a robust risk awareness is embedded in its organisational risk culture. Employees are expected to
take ownership and be accountable for the risks the Company is exposed to. The Company's continuous training and development
emphasises that employees are made aware of the Company's risk appetite and they are supported in their roles and responsibilities to
monitor and keep their exposure to risk within the Company's risk appetite limits. Compliance breaches and internal audit findings are
ents of employees' annual ratings and remuneration reviews.

52. Risk Management
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 Trade receivables and Loans. The Company has adopted a policy of dealing "'ith
credilWorthy countel'parties and obtains sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. In case the loans are to be restructured, similar credit assessment process is followed by the Company.
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 of the industry and country in which
customers operate.
The Company manages and controls credit risk by sening limits on the amount of risk it is willing 10 ..:cept for individual counterparries/Groups (Single Borrowing Limit/Group Borrowing Limit) and for industry concentrations, and by monitoring exposures in relation to such
limits.
Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on its credit worthiness and historical dealings with the Company and market intelligence. Outstanding customer receivables arc regularly monitored.The credit quality review process aims to allow the Company 10 assess 1he
potential loss as a result of the risks to which it is exposed and take corrective actions.
Credit risk arising from derivative financial instruments is, ar any time, limited to those with positive fair values, as recorded on the balance sheet, With gross-settled derivatives, the Company is also e,cposed 10 a settlement risk. being the risk 1ha1 the Company honours ics
obligation, but the counterparty fails to deliver the counter value.
J,gpai,111.e11t A11eumtnt:
The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss. The expcoted credit loss allowance is computed based on a provision matrix which talces into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking infonnation.
The eKpected credit loss is a product of exposure at default, probability of default and loss given default. The Company has derived an mternal model to evaluate the probability of default and loss given default based on the parameters set oul in Ind AS including quahlaci,·,
factor of an accunt or of pool of retail loan portfolio. Accordingly, the loans arc <lassified into various stages as follows:
Performing
High grade 0 DPD & lto 30 DPD S1age I
S1andard grade 311090 DPD Stage II
Non-perforn1i11.g
Individually impaired 90+DPD Stage Ill
Credit loss i, the difference beiween all contractual cash flows that are due to an entity in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects 10 receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounced at the original EIR. Expected Credil Loss (ECL) computatrnn is
not driven by any single methodology, however methodology and approach used must reflect the following:
1) An unbiased and probability weighted amount thal evaluates a range of possible outcomes
2) Reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost and cffon 11 the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions:
Wrule the rime value of money clement is currently being factored into ECL measurement while discounting cash flows by the Effective Interest Rate (EIR), the objective of developing a macroeconomic model using exogenous macroeconomic variables (MEVs) is lo address
the first IWo requirements. This has been achieved by using the model output to adjust the PD risk component in order to malce it forward looking and probability-weighted.

Prebability ef Default
Probability of default (PD) is .., estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. PD estimation proce,s is done based on historical internal data available with the Company. While arriving at the PD. the Company also ensures that the factors that affects the
macro economic trends are considered to a reasonable extent. wherever necessary. Company calculates the 12 month PD by taking into account the past historical trends of !he Loans/portfolio and its credit performance. In case of as.sets where there is a significant increase in
credit risk / credit impaired assets, lifetime PD has been applied.
EAD = Drawn Credit Line + Credit Conversion Factor • Undrawn Credit Linc
Where,
Drawn Credit Line = Current outstanding amount
Credit Conversion Factor (CCF) = Expected future drawdown as a proportion of undrawn amount
Undrawn Credit Linc = Difference between the total arnowat which the Company has committed and the drawn credit line While the drawn exposure and limits for the customer arc available, the modelling of CCF is required for computing the EAD
To fulfil the above requirement Company has incorporated forward looking information into its measurement of ECL. The objective of developing a macroeconomic model using exogenous macroeconomic variables (MEVs) is to address the requirements of unbiased.
probability weighted outcomes while taking into accowit current conditions as well as future economic conditions. This will be achieved by using the model output to adjust the PD risk component in order to make it forward looking and probability-weighted.
Exogenous macroeconomic parameters were used as independent (X) variables to predict the dependent (Y) variable. Keeping in mind Ind AS requirements around obtaining reliable and supportable info,mation, without incurring undue cost or effort- based on advice of risk
committee members and economic experts and consideration of a variety of external actual and forecast info,mation, the Company formulates base case view of the future direction of relevant economic variable as well as a rcprcscntarivc range of other possible forecast
scenario. This process involves developing two or more additional economic scenarios and considering the relative probabilities of each outcome.

Data soprc;ing
The Company is expected to obtain reasonable and supponable infonnation that is available without mdue cost or effort. Keeping in mind the above requirement macroeconomic information was aggregaled from Economic lnlelligence Unil (ElU ), Bloomberg. World Bani..
RBI database. The EIU dala has a database of around 150 macroeconomic variables as well as their forecaslcd values. Beyond 2022 macro-economic variables are forecasled by mean reverting lbe values 10 their long term average. Exlemal information includes economic data
and forecasts published by governmental bodies and monetuy authorities in the country, supranational organisations such as the OECD and the IMF, and seleclcd privalc sector and academic forccas1crs.
The Company has identified and docwnented key drivers of credit risk and credit losses for each portfolio of financial instruments and using an analysis of historical data, has estimated relationship between macro-economic variables and credit risk and credit losses.
Prcdiclcd relationship between the key indicators and default and loss rates on various portfolios of fmancial assess have been developed based on analysing historical data over the past years.
Impact ofCOVID-19
The COV!D-19 pandcntic outbreak across the world including India has resulted in most countries announcing lockdowns and quarantine measures that have sharply stalled economic activities across the world. The Indian Government 100 has imposed lockdowns starting from
March 24, 2020. Subsequently, the national lockdown was lifted by the government for certain activities i,, a phased manner outside specified containment zones, but regional lockdownslresttictions continued to be implemented in areas with a significant number of COVID-19
cases. The Indian economy is impacted and would continue to be impacted by this pandemic and the resultant lockdown. due to the conrracrion in industrial and services output across small and large businesses. The impact of the COVID -19 pandemic. including the current
"second wave" on Company's results, including credit quality and provisions, gam/loss on fair value changes, investment, remains uncertain and dependent on the current and further spread ofCOV!D -19, steps taken by the government, RBI and other regulators to mitigate the
economic impact and also the time it takes for economic activities to resume and reach the normal levels. Further, the Company has assessed the impact of the COV!D-19 pandemic on its liquidity and ability to repay its obligations as and when they arc due. Management has
considered various financial support from banks and other fundraising opportunities i,, determining the Company liquidity position over the next 12 months. Based on the foregoing and necessary stress tests considering various scenarios, management believes that the ( ompan)
will be able to pay its obligations as and when these become due in the foreseeable future. In assessing the recoverability of loans, receivables, deferred tax assets and investments, the Company has considered internal and external sources of information, including credit
reports, economic forecasts and industry reports up to the date of approval of these financial result<. Since the situation continue lo evolve. its effect on the operations of the Company may be different from that estimated as at the date of approval of these financial results. The
Company wiU continue to closely monitor material changes in markets and future economic conditions.

Risk Concentration
Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties arc engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographical region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations 10 be similarly affected by changes in
economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Company's perfonnance to developments affecting a particular indust,y or geographical location.

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or
another financial asset Liquidity risk arises because of the possibility that the Company might be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due as a result of
mismatches in the timing of the cash flows under both normal and stress circumstances.
Company has a Liquidity Contingency Policy in place to ensure various liquidity parameters are defined and tracked regularly. Liquidity Management Team is provided with
update on expected liquiditv shortfalls in Normal as well as Stress scenario.
To manage the stressed circumstances the Company has ensured maintenance of a Liquidity Cushion in the form of Investments in Government Securities and Mutual
Funds. These assets carry minimal credit risk and can be liquidated in a very short period of time. A liquidity cushion amounting to 6-9% of the borrowings is sought to be
maintained through such assets. These would be to take care of immediate obligattons while continuing to honour our commitments as a going concern. There are available
lines of credit from banks which are drawable on notice which further augment the available sources of funds. Funding is raised through diversified sources including Banks,
Public and Private issue of Debt, Commercial paper . ECB, Sub Debt etc to maintain a healthy mix.

ALCO is the monitoring body for compliance with these limits. ALCO reviews the interest rate gap statement and the mix of floating and fixed rate
assets and liabilities. Balance Sheet Management Unit is in-charge for day to day management of interest rate risk.
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair values of financial instruments. The
Board has established limits on the non-trading interest rate gaps for stipulated periods. The Company's policy is to monitor positions on a daily basis
and hedging strategies are used to ensure positions are maintained within the established limits.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates (all other variables being constant) of the Company's
statement of profit and loss and equity. The sensitivity of the statement of profit and loss is the effect of the assumed changes in interest rates on the
profit or loss for a year, based on the floating rate non-trading financial assets and financial liabilities held at 31 March 2021 and at 31 March 2020
Price risk
The Company's exposure to price risk arises from investments held in Equity Shares, Exchange traded futures, Mutual fund units, all classified in the
balance sheet at fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from such investments, the Company diversifies its portfolio.
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the level of individual
investment in prices of financial instruments.

Disclosure pursuant to Reserve Bank of India Circular DOR.NBFC (PD) CC. No.102/03.10.001 /2019-20 dated 4th November 2019
pertaining to Liquidity Risk Management Framework for Non-Banking Financial Companies.
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) is a global minimum standard to measure the liquidity position in a stress scenario. Reserve Bank of
India introduced LCR requirement for all deposit taking NBFCs and non-deposit taking NBFCs with an asset size of Rs. I 0,000 crore and
above. LCR will promote resilience of NBFCs to potential liquidity disruptions by ensuring that they have sufficient High Quality Liquid
Asset (HQLA) to survive any acute liquidity stress scenario lasting for 30 days. HQLA refers to the category of liquid assets that can be
readily sold or immediately converted into cash at a little loss of value or used as collateral to obtain funds in a range of stress scenarios.
LCR is calculated by dividing the stock of HQLA's by its total net cash outflow over a 30 day calendar period.
The Company has adopted the liquidity risk management framework as required under RBI guidelines. It ensures a sound and robust
liquidity risk management system by maintaining sufficient liquidity through inclusion of a cushion of unencumbered, high quality liquid
asset to withstand a range of stress events, including those involving the loss or impairment of both unsecured and secured funding sources.
The Board of Directors have delegated responsibility of balance sheet Liquidity Risk Management to the Asset Liability Committee.
The LCR is calculated by dividing a Company's stock of HQLA by it's total net cash outflows over a 30 -day stress period. The guidelines
for LCR were effective from Ist December 2020 with the minimum LCR to be 50%, progressively increasing, till reaches the required level
of I 00% by I st December. 2024 as follows:
In order to determine HQLA, Company considers Cash and Bank Balances, Investment in Government Securities without any haircut. In
order to determine net cash outflows, Company considers total expected cash outflow minus total expected cash inflows for the subsequent
30 calendar days. As per guidelines, stressed cash flows is to be computed by assigning a predefined stress percentage to the overall cash
inflows (i.e. 115%) and cash outflows (with haircut of 25%). Net cash outflow over next 30 days is computed as stressed outflows Jess
minimum of stressed inflows, 75% of stressed outflow. Accordingly, LCR would be computed by dividing Company's stock of HQLA by
it's total net cash outflow.
Cash outflow under secured wholesale funding includes contractual obligations under Term loans, NCDs, Interest payable within 30 days.
Outflow under other collateral requirement, the Company considers the loans which are callable under rating downgrade trigger up to and
including 3- notch downgrade. Outflow under other contractual funding obligations primarily includes outflow on account of overdrawn
balances with Banks and sundry payables. In order to determine Inflows from fully performing exposures, Company considers the
contractual repayments from performing advances in next 30 days. Other Cash inflows includes investments in liquid mutual funds, and
other assets which are maturing within 30 days.

NoltS to th• financial statement for the ytar ended March JI, 2021 (continued)
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak across the world including India has rtsulted in most countries announcing lockdowns and quarantine measures tl1at have sharply stalled
economic activities across the world. The Indian Government too has imposed lockdowns starting from March 24. 2020. Subsequently, the national lockdown was lifted by the
government for ce11ain activities in a phased manner outside specified containment zones, but regional lockdowns/restrictions continued 10 be implemented in areas with a
significant number of COVID-19 cases. The Indian economy is impacted and would continue lo be impacted by this pandemic and the resultant lockdown, due lo the contraction
in industrial and services output across small and large businesses. The impact of the COVID -19 pandemic. including the current "second wave". on Company's results,
including credit quality and provisions, gain/loss on fair value changes, investment, remains uncertain and dependent on the current and further spread ofCOVID -19, steps
taken by the government. RBI and other regulators 10 mitigate the economic impact and also the rime it takes for economic activities to resume and reach the normal levels.
Further, the Company has assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its liquidity and ability 10 repay its obligations as and when they are due. Management has
considered various financial support from banks and other fundraising opportunities in determining the Company's liquidity position over the next I 2 months. Based on the
foregoing and necessary stress tests considering various scenarios, management believes that the Company will be able to pay its obligations as and when these become due in
the foreseeable future. In assessing the recoverability of loans, rtteivables, deferred tax assets and investments, the Company has considered internal and external sources of
information, including credit reports, economic forecasts and industry reports up to the date ofapproval of these financial results. Since the siruation continue to evolve, its effect
on the operations of the Company may be different from that estimated as at the date of approval of these financial results. The Company will continue to closely monitor
material changes in marlce13 and future economic conditions.
