Dear Shareholders,
Financial Year 2021-22 had remained one
of the most challenging years since the
inception of Company on account of the
impact of the Covid, Ukraine war, inflation
concerns, resurging cases of Covid in China
and fragile recovery of economy from the
impact of Covid. Even though the financial
sector remained under tremendous stress
due to pandemic situation and volatility
in the market arising from global macro
issues, the Company continued to exhibit
excellent performance which was primarily
attributed to its strategic relationship with

Business overview
IRFC a statutory body under the Ministry of Railways plays a
significant role in funding the Indian Railways -"the national
operator of railway system". Our main business is to finance the
acquisition of rolling stock assets, leasing of railway infrastructure
assets, and lending to other entities under the MoR.
Our Leasing Operations
IRFC uses a leasing approach to fund Indian Railways' Rolling stock and project assets. The normal lease term is 30 years,
with a primary component of 15 years and a secondary component of 15 years. During the primary lease period, the principal
component and interest are recovered as part of the lease. Secondary lease period assets are normally transferred to the
MoR for a nominal sum at the conclusion of the lease. We have a cost-plus leasing agreement with the Ministry of Railways,
which ensures consistent growth in our income and profitability. MoR pays half-yearly lease rentals in advance, which include
both principal repayment and interest.

We lend funds to MoR and other Railway Entities in order to fuel their growth plan. We have provided loans to Rail Vikas Nigam Limited

M) These plans typically expose the Company to Actuarial Risks such as Investment Risk, Liquidity Risk, Market Risk and Legislative Risk
Actuarial Riskw It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation
will result into an increase in Obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in mortality rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption
than the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the
death benefit, the acceleration of cash flow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative
values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate
assumption than the Gratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend
on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.
Investment Risk For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer
may not be the fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets
is independent of the future discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded
status if there are significant changes in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.
Liquidity Risk Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level
of benefits. If some of such employees resign/retire from the company there can be strain on the cash
flows.
Market Risk Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial
markets. One actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects
the time value of money. An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation
of the plan benefits & vice versa. This assumption depends on the yields on the corporate/government
bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.
Legislative Risk Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change
in the legislation/regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring
the companies to pay higher benefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the
Defined Benefit Obligation and the same will have to be recognized immediately in the year when any
such amendment is effective.

expectancy are not applicable being a lump sum benefit on retirement.
L) These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as Investment Risk, Liquidity Risk and Market Risk.
Actuarial Risk It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation
will result into an increase in Obligation at a rate that is higher than expected. Variability in mortality rates:
If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption than the leave benefit will be
paid earlier than expected. The acceleration of cash flow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending
on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate
assumption than the leave benefit will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on the
relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in Availment rates: If actual Availment rates are higher than assumed Availment rate
assumption then leave balances will be utilised earlier than expected. This will result in reduction in leave
balances and Obligation.
Investment Risk For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer
may not be the fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets
is independent of the future discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded
status if there are significant changes in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.
Liquidity Risk Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level
of benefits. If some of such employees resign/retire from the company there can be strain on the cash
flows.
Market Risk Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial
markets. One actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects
the time value of money. An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation
of the plan benefits & vice versa. This assumption depends on the yields on the corporate/government
bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.

the companies to pay higher benefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the

The Fair value hirarchy reflects the significance of the input used in making the measurements and hence the following levels:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices
in markets that are not active) or indirectly (i.e. quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities);
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The following table presents fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of 31
March 2021:
The Company maintains policies and procedures to value financials assets or financial liabilities using the best and most relevant data
available. The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount 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 following methods and
assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
The Company holds nominal Equity (less than 0.26%) in IRCON International Limited. The equity shares of IRCON International
Limited were listed on National Stock Exchange (NSE) with effect from 28 September 2018. The Company had elected to classify its
investment in IRCON International Limited as fair value through other comprehensive income(OCI). The fair value as on 31 March 2022,
31 March 2021 has been measured as per the quoted on National Stock Exchange (Level 1 Input).
Dividend received
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value (but fair value disclosures are required):
The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the financial statements
approximate their fair values.
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks which includes market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk
and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company's focus is to ensure liquidity which is sufficient to meet the Company's operational requirements. The Company monitors
and manages key financial risks so as to minimise potential adverse effects on its financial Performance. The Company has a risk
management policy which covers the risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities. The details for managing each of these
risks are summarised ahead.
"Market risk is the risk that the expected cash flows or fair value of a financial instrument could change owing to changes in market prices.
The Company's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
Company use derivative instruments to manage market risk against the volatility in foreign exchange rates and interest rates in order
to minimize their impact on its results and financial position. Company policy is not to utilize any derivative financial instruments for
trading or speculative purposes.

The following table details the company's sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the INR against the relevant outstanding foreign
currency denominated monetary items. 10% sensitivity indicates management's assessment of the reasonable possible change in
foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts
their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or
equity where Rupee appreciates 10% against the relevant currency. A negative number below indicates a decrease in profit or equity
where the Rupee depreciates 10% against the relevant currency.
In management's opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the
end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrows funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed
by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings. Company use financial instruments to
manage its exposure to changing interest rates and to adjust its mix of fixed and floating interest rate debt on long-term debt.
The Company's exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management
section of this note.
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and non-derivative
instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability
outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease represents
management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
177
Annual Report 2021-22
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/ lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company's:
i) Profit for the year ended 31 March 2022 would decrease/increase by Rs. 9318.74 millions (31 March 2021: decrease/increase Rs.
8,346.63 millions). This is mainly attributable to the Company’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate debt securities;
ii) Profit for the year ended 31 March 2022 would decrease/increase by Rs. 8469.44 millions (31 March 2021: decrease/increase Rs.
5,590.55 millions). This is mainly attributable to the Company’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.
Following the request received by the Financial Stability Board from the G20, a fundamental review and reform of the major interest
rate benchmarks is underway across the world’s largest financial market, This reform was not contemplated when Ind AS 107 & Ind AS
109 were notified and consequently the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India has notified a set of temporary exceptions
from applying specific hedge accounting requirements to provide clarifications on how the standard should be applied in these
circumstances.
Following are the temporary exceptions provided from applying specific hedge accounting requirements:
(i) For assessing highly probable requirement for cash flow hedges: For the purpose of determining whether a forecast transaction
(or a component thereof) is highly probable, an entity shall assume that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged cash
flows (contractually or non-contractually specified) are based is not altered as a result of interest rate benchmark reform.
(ii) Reclassifying the amount accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve: For the purpose of determining whether the hedged
future cash flows are expected to occur, an entity shall assume that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged cash flows
(contractually or non-contractually specified) are based is not altered as a result of interest rate benchmark reform.
(iii) Assessing the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument: An entity shall assume that the
interest rate benchmark on which the hedged cash flows and/or the hedged risk (contractually or non-contractually specified) are
based, or the interest rate benchmark on which the cash flows of the hedging instrument are based, is not altered as a result of
interest rate benchmark reform.
(iv) Designating a component of an item as a hedged item: Subject to certain exemptions, for a hedge of a non-contractually specified
benchmark component of interest rate risk, an entity shall apply the requirement – that the risk component shall be separately
identifiable – only at the inception of the hedging relationship.
Under these temporary exceptions, interbank offered rates (IBORs) are assumed to continue unaltered for the purposes of hedge
accounting until such time as the uncertainty is resolved. The application of this set of temporary exceptions is mandatory for accounting
periods starting on after 1st April 2020. Significant judgements will be required in determining when uncertainty is expected to be
resolved and therefore when the temporary exceptions will cease to apply. However, as at 31st March 2022, the uncertainty continued
to exist and so the temporary exceptions apply to the Company’s hedge accounting relationships that reference benchmarks subject
to reform or replacement.
The Company has cash flow and fair value hedge accounting relationships that are exposed to different IBORs, predominantly US
dollar Libor and JPY Libor. The existing derivatives and some of the loans, bonds and other financial instruments designated in
relationships referencing these benchmarks will transition to new risk – free rates (RFRs) in different ways and at different types.
External progress on the transition to RFRs is being monitored, with the objective of ensuring a smooth transition for the Company’s
hedge accounting relationship. The specific issues arising will vary with the details of each hedging relationship, but may arise due to
the transition of existing products included in the designation, a change in expected volumes of products to be issued, a change in
contractual terms of new products issued, or a combination of these factors. Some hedges may need to be de – designated and new
relationships entered into, while others may survive the market – wide benchmark reforms.
The hedge accounting relationships that are affected by the adoption of the temporary exceptions are presented in the balance sheet
in note 5, ‘Derivatives Financial Instruments’.

Corporate Overview | Notice of AGM | Statutory Reports Financial Statements
The Company has a small amount of investment in equity instruments, price risk of which is not considered material.
Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the
company. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial
conditions, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable.
The Company consider the probability of default upon initial recognition of assets and whether there has been a significant increase in
credit risk on an ongoing basis through each reporting period. To assess whether there is significant increase in credit risk, it considers
reasonable and supportive forward looking information such as:
(ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty.
(iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty's ability to meet its obligation.
(iv) Significant increase in credit risk and other financial instruments of the same counterparty.
(v) Significant changes in the value of collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third party guarantees or credit

Credit risk is managed through approvals, establishing credit limits, continuous monitoring of creditworthiness of customers to which
the company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The company also assesses the financial reliability of customers
taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends and historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivables.
The Company's major exposure is from lease receivables from Ministry of Railways, Government of India and loans to Rail Vikas Nigam
Limited and IRCON International Limited which are under the control of Ministry of Railways. There is no credit risk on lease receivables
being due from sovereign. With respect to loan given to Rail Vikas Nigam Limited and IRCON International Limited, the company

Liquidity risk is defined as the potential risk that the Company cannot meet the cash obligations as they become due.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity
risk management framework for the management of the company's short, medium, and long-term funding and liquidity management
requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities, by continuously monitoring
forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Besides, there is a provision
in the lease agreements with the Ministry of Railways (MOR) whereby MOR undertakes to provide lease rentals in advance (to be
adjusted from future payments) in case the Company doesn't have adequate liquidity to meet its debt service obligations.
