DIRECTORS’ REPORT
To the Members,
The Directors are pleased to present to you the 28th Annual Report along with the audited accounts of the
Company for the year ended 31st March 2024.
Financial Performance
The performance of the Company during the year is summarised as under:
2024 2023
Performance Review
The Company achieved total income of Rs. 4401 Lakhs in FY24 (Rs. 4708 Lakhs in FY23). Brokerage and
related income were at Rs. 1934 Lakhs (Rs. 1186 Lakhs in FY23), increase by 63% over previous financial
year. The Company booked fee-based income of Rs. 1580 Lakhs (Rs. 2756 Lakhs in FY23), lower by 43%
over previous financial year. Under performance of fee-based income was largely on account of Debt
Syndication & Restructuring mandates which witnessed a huge dip in current FY vs FY 23 and also on
account of rollover of IB Equity mandates to next FY.
Your Company’s business revenue stood at Rs 3514 Lakhs in FY24, lower by 11% over FY23. Total expenses
of Rs 6094 Lakhs increased by 34% YoY mainly due to an increase in technology and infrastructure-related
spends.
Your Company recorded a net loss of Rs (1250) Lakhs (previous year’s net profit of Rs.125 Lakhs). The
earnings per equity share (of face value Rs 100 per share) for the year stood at Rs (12.50) per share.
During the year, Debt Syndication & DCM Team successfully worked on 11 transactions amounting
to cumulative debt of Rs. 5500 crores details are as under:
2. Debt arrangement for major sovereign fund for its Commercial Real Estate (CRE) asset
The Debt Resolution team closed 14 mandates. In a challenging environment for stressed assets
(wherein banks’ GNPAs and overall stress has reduced significantly over past 3 years), the
division achieved transaction-wise diversification – first successful RP advisory mandate, first
mandate in SARFAESI asset sale, first mandate as an advisor to bank for pooled asset sale, first
arbitration claims assessment transaction and first successful Swiss challenge against NARCL
offer. The team also added several new clients e.g. PNB, Indian Bank, IOB, IndusInd Bank and
Saraswat Bank during the year.
Investment Banking deal closures (like Brookefield REIT, IRM Energy IPO, and IREDA IPO) helped
gain traction with Institutional clients and establish our credentials as a Investment Banking deal
house.
Internal controls
Your Company has put in place adequate internal controls with reference to the financial statements. During
the year, such controls were tested and no reportable material weakness in the design or operation was
observed.
The Board has adopted policies and procedures, including Standard Operating Procedures and Risk Control
Measures for all departments, for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, strictly adherence
to the Company’s policies, safeguarding of its assets, prevention and detection of fraud, error reporting
mechanisms, accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and timely preparation of reliable
financial disclosures.
Dividend
In view of the losses your Directors are not recommending any dividend for the year.
Capital structure
During the year under review, there has been no change in the Capital Structure of the Company and the
Company has not issued any equity shares with differential rights as to voting and/or dividend.
Transfer to Reserves
Due to loss during the year, the Company has not transferred any sum to Statutory Reserve.
Since there was no unpaid/unclaimed Dividend declared and paid last year, the provisions of Section 125 of
the Companies Act, 2013 do not apply.
We expect FY 2024-25 to be a breakthrough year for the division as it is now ready to meaningfully expand
our retail broking client base with profitability.
Institutional Broking –
Focus in FY25 is to continue with the growth momentum in broking revenue and reaching break-even levels.
All round efforts to improve research productivity, and intensive marketing across both broking and IB deal
product would help deepen penetration into clients Key focus is to deepen client coverage across large
accounts as well as activating dormant accounts, new empanelments and ramping up derivatives business.
Higher share of IB Equity deals will also contribute to the division’s profitability.
Debt Resolution –
The division is looking forward to the year with continued efforts on resolution mandates regarding restructuring
under Prudential Framework and assisting lenders in Swiss challenge processes with respect to price
discovery against Anchor offer. The division also aims to make inroads in transactions involving acquisition
funding to Resolution applicants under insolvency process and assisting committee of creditors for evaluation
of resolution plans under IBC process which will firm up our bouquet of offerings. With increasing share of
retail assets in the overall stressed assets over recent years, the division is tapping this space on a portfolio
level. It is also adding more private sector banks, co-operative banks and ARCs to our list thus diversifying
our clientele. The division will continue supporting National Asset Reconstruction Company Ltd (NARCL) by
conducting Financial Due Diligence transactions and are actively pursuing debt resolution transactions with
India Debt Resolution Company Ltd (IDRCL).
Debt Syndication –
Private sector capital expenditure is expected to increase by 54% reaching Rs 2.45 lakh crore in FY24-25 as
against Rs 1.59 lakh crore in FY23-24 according to RBI. This significant rise is due to rising domestic
demand, improved corporate profitability, sustained credit demand, business optimism and government’s
focus on infrastructure development. The infrastructure sector, particularly roads, bridges and power,
accounted for largest share of capital expenditure reflecting the Government’s push for infrastructure
development.
Accordingly, the division is targeting companies incurring significant capex in sectors like Renewables, Roads,
Steel, Cement, Data Centers, Logistics & Warehousing etc. with syndication solutions. The division continues
to focus on facilitating Bank of Baroda in sourcing and downsell of large deals along with aggressive sourcing
of deals in mid-corporate segment.

To
The Members of BOB CAPITAL MARKETS LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of BOB CAPITAL MARKETS LIMITED (“the
Company”), which comprise of the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, the Statement of Profit and Loss
and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date, and notes to the financial statements
including a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (“the financial
statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid
financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“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, 2024, the profit and its cash flows for the year
ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SAs”) specified under Section
143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in
the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements” section of our report. We are
independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements under the provisions of the 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 opinion on the financial
statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit
of the financial statements of the current period. 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.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Other Information
The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Company’s Annual Report, but does not include the
financial statements and our Auditors’ Report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not
cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements
or our knowledge obtained during the course of our 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 Management and Board of Directors are 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 and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including Indian Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of
the Act.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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, the Management and Board of Directors are 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 the Board of Directors either intends to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is 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
scepticism 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 controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible
for expressing an 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
estimates and related disclosures made in the financial statements by the Management and Board of
Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management’s and Board of Director’s use of the going
concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the
Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in
a manner that achieves fair presentation.
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 of the current period 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.
1. As required by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2020 (“the Order”), issued by the Central
Government of India in terms of sub-section (11) of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013, we give
in the Annexure A, a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the

the provisions of section 164(2) of the Companies Act, 2013, in respect of disqualification of

in “Annexure B”. Our report expresses unmodified opinion on the adequacy and operating
effectiveness of the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting.
g. With respect to the directions under section 143(5) of the Act, please refer to our separate
report in “Annexure C”.
h. With respect to the other matters to be included in the Auditor’s Report in accordance with Rule

best of our information and according to the explanations given to us:

which there were any material foreseeable losses.
iii. There were no amounts which were required to be transferred, to the Investor Education

iv. (a) The Management has represented that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, no
funds have been advanced or granted loans or invested (either from borrowed funds
or share premium or any other sources or kind of funds) by the Company to or in
any other person or entity, including foreign entity (“Intermediaries”), with the
understanding, whether recorded in writing or otherwise, that the Intermediary shall,
whether, directly or indirectly lend or invest in other persons or entities identified in
any manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the Company (“Ultimate Beneficiaries”)
or provide any guarantee, security or the like on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries;
(b) The Management has represented that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, no
funds have been received by the Company from any person or entity, including
foreign entity (“Funding Parties”), with the understanding, whether recorded in writing
or otherwise, that the Company shall, whether, directly or indirectly, lend or invest in
other persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the
Funding Party (“Ultimate Beneficiaries”) or provide any guarantee, security or the
like on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries;
(c) Based on the audit procedures that have been considered reasonable and
appropriate in the circumstances, nothing has come to our notice that has caused
us to believe that the representations under sub-clause (i) and (ii) of Rule 11(e), as
provided under (a) and (b) above, contain any material misstatement.

Report on the 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 BOB CAPITAL MARKETS LIMITED
(“the Company”) as of March 31, 2024 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company
for the year ended on that date.
The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are 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 (“ICAI”).
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 Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and
errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable
financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors’ Responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting
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, issued by
ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable
to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and both
issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements
and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial
controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in
all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal
financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal
financial controls over financial reporting included, obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected
depend on the auditor’s judgment, 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 Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
A Company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company’s internal financial
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility
of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may
occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial
reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company
has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and
such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2024,
based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the
essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls
Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

amount considered as doubtful.
