Furthermore, we have accelerated our digital journey

ANNEXURE-2A
SUMMARY OF IMPACT ASSESSMENTS CONDUCTED

Name of Project – Promoting research and innovation in health care at AIIMS New Delhi
Name of Partner-AIIMS Delhi
Project Timeline: FY20-21
Project Cost: J3,60,40,000

About the Project: The Neurosurgery Education and Training School (NETS) at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS),
New Delhi, was supported with Stratasys’s J750 digital anatomy printer, which allows printing of anatomical structures with
properties similar to real tissues. The state-of-the art 3D printer allows the printing of anatomical structures with haptic
properties similar to real tissues.

Need: The project was designed to tackle the challenges faced by the NETS lab: 1. Reduced availability of cadavers due to
COVID 2. Ethical Concerns 3. High cost of synthetic cadavers 4.Mismatch between human anatomy and synthetic cadavers.

Objective: 1.To enable medical practitioners to create prototypes of human anatomy using 3D Printer 2.To help surgeons
reduce the surgery time and help them analyse the case before operating a patient 3.To train surgeons in a safe repeatable and
controlled environment.

Impact Evaluated: Total of 62 doctors from AIIMS from Neurosurgery, Surgery, Dental, Orthopedics and ENT have been
trained so far. 6 doctors from Madhya Pradesh and Telangana have benefitted by training. The initiative supported by PNB
Housing Finance Limited has helped in: 1. Training surgeons in safe and controlled environment 2. Analysing cases before
actually operating them, leading to less error while operating 3. Reducing surgery time. 939 Sessions have been conducted for
surgeons on high-speed drilling, neuro-endoscopy simulations, and micro neurosurgery simulations.

Name of Project: Setting up a 20 bedded ICU Facility in Raipur, Chhattisgarh and 50 bedded ICU Facility in Palwal, Haryana
Name of Partner-American India Foundation
Project Timeline: FY 21-22
Project Cost: J2,31,07,350

About the Project: India experienced a massive surge in COVID-19 cases, particularly during the second wave in early 2021.
The rapid increase in infections overwhelmed the healthcare infrastructure, including hospitals, ICU beds, and medical
resources. PNB Housing Finance Limited and its implementation partner American India Foundation (AIF), in response to need
for hospital beds, provided 50 and 20 beds of portable units at Palwal and Raipur district hospitals.

Need: The surge in covid cases led to a shortage of hospital beds, particularly in the worst-affected regions. Many hospitals
reached full capacity, making accommodating all COVID-19 patients requiring hospitalisation challenging.

Objective: 1. To provide additional capacity of beds in hospitals to accommodate the increased number of COVID-19. 2. To
strengthen the medical infrastructure overwhelmed with COVID-19 cases.

Impact Evaluated: 500+ patients’ footfall at both health care facilities. 20 years of lifetime of the equipment. 4 patients can be
treated on each bed per month 3360 patients can be treated each year.

Name of the Project: Supporting day care centres for children of construction workers
Name of Partner: Mobile Creche
Project Timeline: FY20-21

7. Does the entity have a business continuity and disaster management plan? Give details in 100 words/ web link.
Yes. We have a business continuity management (BCM) Committee and have a board approved business continuity plan (BCP).
A detailed business impact analysis has been carried out considering various conventional threat vectors and cyber threats.
This analysis determines the core business functions and critical business sites that are covered under the resiliency program.
The majority of company operations are supported through automation with the help of technology. As a result, IT resilience
plays a crucial role in BCP. All crucial business operations have Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives
(RPO) specified and the IT Disaster Recovery Plan ensures that the defined RTO and RPO are met. The BCP defines the overall
governance and monitoring of the business continuity function, including setting up of Emergency Response Teams (ERT) and
Function Recovery Teams (FRT). Business continuity spans people, processes and technology. Requisite training programs have
been conducted for the teams to be prepared to respond in a crisis. Disaster drills and tabletop exercises are conducted at regular
intervals to test whether the set procedures are working as defined within the pre-defined RTO and RPO and whether people
understand and follow it appropriately. Such drills are audited through external CERT-In (Indian Computer Emergency Response
Team) certified auditors. Observations received from such audits are considered as a part of continuous improvements. The plan
is reviewed at periodic intervals and the management and board are kept abreast of any developments or changes in the BCP.

8. Disclose any significant adverse impact to the environment, arising from the value chain of the entity. What mitigation or

This principle focuses on the appropriate conduct of business with the public, apart from the stakeholders with whom we are directly
or indirectly associated. We recognize that the housing and real estate industries are critical to the Indian economy, thus we encourage

The Company uses regulatory definition as a consistent measure for default across all product
classes.
The Company records an allowance for the LTECLs.

Key components for computation of expected credit loss are: − Loss Given Default (LGD)
− Probability of Default (PD) The Loss given default (LGD) is an estimate of the loss arising

ii) The basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing the net profit after tax attributable to equity share holders
of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings per
share has been computed by dividing the net profit after tax attributable to equity share holders of the Company by the
weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted
average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The
dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at
fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Diluted potential equity shares are deemed
converted as of the beginning of the period unless issued at a later date. Diluted potential equity shares are determined
independently for each period presented. Diluted earnings per share does not include conversion or exercise of potential
ordinary shares that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.

Reconciliation of equity shares used in computation of basic and diluted earnings per equity share is as follows:

46.4.3 Currency risk


Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign
currency risk arises majorly on account of foreign currency borrowings which are primarily in US dolllar ($). The Company
manages its foreign currency risk by entering into cross currency swaps and forward contracts. When a derivative is entered
into for the purpose of being as hedge, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives to match with the terms of the
hedge exposure.

Currently, the Company is exposed to currency risk by virtue of its ECBs. But, the Company has undertaken hedging and
mitigated a major portion of such risk.

The following table assesses the sensitivity of the assets and liabilities over the profit and loss and other comprehensive
income with change in currency rates.

Note 46.4.4: Equity price risk :


The Company’s investment in non-listed equity securities are accounted at cost in the financial statement net of impairment (if
any). The expected cash flow from these entities are regularly monitored to identify impairment indicators.

Note 46.5: Liquidity risk and funding management


Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will encounter 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. Such scenarios could occur when funding needed for illiquid asset positions
is not available to the Company on acceptable terms. To limit this risk, management has arranged for diversified funding
sources and investors in addition to its core deposit base, also adopted a policy of managing assets with liquidity in mind and
monitoring future cash flows and liquidity on a regular basis. The Company also keeps lines of credit and liquid investments
that it can access to meet liquidity needs. The lines of credit are from various banks and institutions. The liquid investments
are kept in liquid mutual funds, fixed deposits, liquid bonds, government securities etc., limits of which are defined as per
investment policy based on the type of security, rating of entity and instrument. In accordance with the Company’s policy, the
liquidity position is assessed under a variety of scenarios. The Company follows both stock and flow approaches to monitor
and asses the liquidity position. Moreover, the Compnay keeps a track of the expected funds inflows and outflows along with
the avenues of raising the funds. This incorporates an assessment of expected cash flows and the availability of high grade
collateral which could be used to secure additional funding if required.

The Company has a Board approved Asset and Liability Management (ALM) policy. The policy has constituted an Asset and
Liability Committee (ALCO) which meets at regular intervals and review the asset liability profile both at the particular time
bucket level and cumulative level as well as the interest rate profile of the Company. The policy also defines the limits on
such monitored items and these are further presented to the Board for information and further action, if any. Apart from the
regulatory defined tools, the Company has voluntarily instituted various liquidity parameters that are presented to the ALCO
and further to the Board. Moreover, the position of liquidity is presented to the Risk Management Committee of the Board.

Valuation methodologies of financial instruments not measured at fair value

Below are the methodologies and assumptions used to determine fair values for the above financial instruments which
are not recorded and measured at fair value in the Company’s financial statements.

1. Financial assets and liabilities (Short term)

Cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other financial
assets, trade payables, commercial papers and other financial liabilities has been recognised at amortised cost in the
financial statements.
In accordance with Ind AS 107.29(a), fair value is not required to be disclosed in relation to the financial instruments
having short-term maturity (less than twelve months), where carrying amount (net of impairment) is a reasonable
approximation of their fair value. Hence the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than
cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other financial assets, trade payables, commercial papers and other
financial liabilities has not been disclosed.

2. Financial assets

Loans and advances to customers

Substantial amount of the loans are based on floating rate of interest, carrying amount of which represents the fair
value of these loans. Minuscule amount of loans are based on fixed to floating rate of interest, the fair values of these
loans are computed by discounted cash flow models incorporating prevailing interest rate. The Company classifies
these assets as Level 2.

Government debt securities

Government debt securities are financial instruments issued by sovereign governments and include both long- term
bonds and short-term bills with fixed or floating rate interest payments. These instruments are generally liquid
and traded in active markets resulting in a Level 1 classification. When active market prices are not available, the
Company uses discounted cash flow models with observable market inputs of similar instruments and bond prices
to estimate future index levels and extrapolating yields outside the range of active market trading, in which instances
the Company classifies those securities as Level 2. The Company does not have Level 3 government securities
where valuation inputs would be unobservable.

Standards) Rules, 2015, applicable from April 1, 2023, as below:

(i) Ind AS 1 – Material accounting policies - The amendments mainly related to shifting of disclosure of erstwhile “significant
accounting policies” in the notes to the financial statements to material accounting policy information requiring companies
to reframe their accounting policies to make them more “entity” specific. This amendment aligns with the “material”
concept already required under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Company does not expect the
amendments to have any impact in the financial statements.

(ii) Ind AS 8 – Definition of accounting estimates - The amendments specify definition of ‘change in accounting estimate’
replaced with the definition of ‘accounting estimates’. The Company does not expect the amendments to have any impact
in the financial statements.

recognised on initial recognition, the initial recognition exemption does not apply. Also, If a company has not yet
recognised deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability on right-of-use assets and lease liabilities or has recognised
deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability on net basis, that company shall have to recognise deferred tax assets and
deferred tax liabilities on gross basis based on the carrying amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities existing
at the beginning of April 1, 2022. The Company does not expect the amendments to have any impact in its recognition of
deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities in its financial statements.

The MCA vide its notification dated March 24, 2021 had introduced the concept of audit trails, applicable from April 1,
2023, by inserting proviso to rule 3(1) of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. It mentioned that every company which

Note 18.3: External commercial borrowing:

a) Nature of security
i) The ECB borrowings are secured against eligible housing loans/book debts and are hedged through currency swaps,
interest rate swaps and forward contracts as per the applicable RBI guidelines.

ii) The derivative contracts are initially recognised at fair value on the date of the transaction and all outstanding
derivative transactions, on the date of balance sheet, are subsequently measured at fair value on that date. Where
cash flow hedge accounting is used, fair value changes of the derivative contracts are recognised through the cash
flow hedge reserve (through other comprehensive income) which is reclassified to profit and loss account as the
hedged item effects profit and loss. Premium paid / discount received in advance (if any) on the derivative contracts,
which are not intended for trading or speculation purposes, are amortised over the period of the contracts, if such
contracts relate to monetary items as at the balance sheet date.

(March 31, 2022 USD 796.00 million (equivalent to H 6,034.25 crore)). The Company has undertaken cross currency
swaps and principal only swaps to hedge the foreign currency risk of the ECB principal. Whereas the Company

hedge the floating interest and foreign currency risk of the coupon payments respectively. All the derivative
instruments are purely for hedging the underlying ECB transactions as per applicable RBI guidelines and not for any
speculative purpose.

average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The
dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at
fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Diluted potential equity shares are deemed
converted as of the beginning of the period unless issued at a later date. Diluted potential equity shares are determined
independently for each period presented. Diluted earnings per share does not include conversion or exercise of potential
ordinary shares that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share.

Reconciliation of equity shares used in computation of basic and diluted earning per equity share is as follows

47.4.2 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 interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities.
The Company’s policy is to monitor positions on a regular basis and hedging strategies are used to ensure positions are
maintained within the established limits.

The following tables assesses the sensitivity of the assets and liabilities over the profit and loss with change in interest rates.

47.4.3 Currency risk


Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign
currency risk arises majorly on account of foreign currency borrowings which are primarily in US dolllar ($). The Company
manages its foreign currency risk by entering into cross currency swaps and forward contracts. When a derivative is entered
into for the purpose of being as hedge, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives to match with the terms of the
hedge exposure.

Currently, the Company is exposed to currency risk by virtue of its ECBs. But, the Company has undertaken hedging and
mitigated a major portion of such risk.

The following table assesses the sensitivity of the assets and liabilities over the profit and loss and other comprehensive
income with change in currency rates.
