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.

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.

vulnerable communities at construction sites across India. It aims to address the challenges faced by migrant workers who
often have limited access to safe and affordable childcare facilities. PNB Housing Finance has supported the Mobile Creche
project as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Through its CSR program, PNB Housing Finance has
extended financial assistance and other resources to the Mobile Creches project to establish and operate mobile creches at
construction sites.
Need: Approximately 20 million children under the age of six live in poverty in urban India. Parents of such children are

Finance Limited, through its mobile creche initiative, aims to improve the overall well-being and development of children from
marginalised communities by addressing their childcare needs.
Objective: 1. To ensure the safety and well-being of construction workers’ children while they are away for work. 2. To provide

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.

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.

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
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.

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.
3. Financial liabilities
Debt securities and subordinated liabilities 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 fair values of deposits are computed by discounted cash flow models that incorporates prevalling interest rate.
The Company classifies these liabilities as Level 3.

concept already required under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Company does not expect the
amendments to have any impact in the financial statements.

in the financial statements.
(iii) Ind AS 12 – The amendment clarifies that in cases of transactions where equal amounts of assets and liabilities are
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

deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities in its financial statements.

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 earning 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 antidilutive effect on earnings per share.
Reconciliation of equity shares used in computation of basic and diluted earning per equity share is as follows
Weighted average number of equity shares at the beginning of the year 16,85,98,555 16,82,68,123
