Annual Report
FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2020
We are fortunate in this decade to be part of a fast-paced economy and the new generation of entrepreneurs
from ‘Bharat’ who are currently executing the businesses with flexibility and simplicity that comes with digital
technology.
Penetration of data connectivity and hardware at affordable prices is helping more and more MSMEs move
from traditional to digital methodologies. Today the rural population is at similar footing as city suburbs in
terms of business visibility, sourcing and competitive product pricing. As a result, these businesses have seen
a surge in their product/ services demands, giving rise to working capital requirements. However, majority of
businesses are from the unorganised sector, barely possessing any recorded financial history, which affects
their credit taking capability. They have to resort to informal sources to address their financial requirements
and end up paying higher rates on loans borrowed, clogging their business growth, even keeping high collateral
for their loans.
Against this backdrop, we decided to change the paradigm and address the credit gap of USD 400 Bn in this
segment. We have built the right kind of origination platform to provide them easy and convenient access,
we have tied up with right kind of data sources to evaluate their cash flows and then digitised the delivery and
collections of loans.
As of Mar 2020, Lendingkart has evaluated more than 750,000 loan applications. The customer can
conveniently reach to us either on our i) Mobile app ii) mobile web or iii) regular web, which all have a
seamless experience. He just needs to provide us his banking data as information for evaluating his cash flows.
He can either upload them on system or give us access to his data through verified sources. Once his data is
collected our system automatically translates it into machine readable format which then goes into our
proprietary decision engine to evaluate the borrower. The credit models deployed by us are self-learning. A
champion model is in continuous production while newer and more effective challenger models are being
continuously worked by the in-house team.
Our focus has been young and educated digitally savvy entrpreneures who are based
in non-metro cities and have growing micro enterprises, across wide range of
industries. Our customer base is comrpised of young enterpreneurs with 60% under
35 years of age and ~88% under 45 years. 81% of these businesses are based in non-
metro cities and their primary driectors are graduates and above using smart phones
and business revenue less than Rs 25 Lacs. These businesses employ <=10
employees and have been opertaional for less than 3 years at time of loan
applications. 20% customers are new to credit and hence now included in the
formal economy.
Industry
Technological improvements:
We have strived for a strong IT infrastructure to support the new age sourcing, information gathering and
processing, delivery & risk control and reporting for the lending business.
In FY 20, we streamlined internal processes and re-designed frameworks to strengthen our end to
end funnel starting with origination by improving prioritization logics and extending the same to our
omnichannel partners for right reach.
Based on our past learnings, a pilot straight through journey with zero touch points and 100%
transparency of the loan process to our customers and partners has been developed and implemented.
In the coming year, we have taken a self-goal to extend this platform capability for the 75 percentile
of our customers, for a loan to be offered to them within 24 hours of their application.
For an effective and successful digitization of the customer journey, we have digitized our risk
framework by integrating our platform with best in class fraud check to identify any kind of potential
fraud in real time.
One of the major achievements this year has been revamping our loan delivery method by adopting
optimized phygital approach and turnaround time being reduced by ~45% by leveraging technology
at every stage possible with emphasis to highlight and resolve any pendency.
We have been at the forefront of implementing video Kyc, participating with India stack, e-NACH,
e-sign, which has tremendously enhanced our capability to deliver our offering to remotest locations
and hinterlands in the country. We have currently delivered our loans to more than 1300+ locations
pan India, with almost ‘0’ branches.
Our aim has been to make finance solutions available to our customers either through us or through our
partners. In this effort we have taken multiple steps in FY’20.
During the year we started making gold loan available to our customers in our distribution funnel
who either due to lack of information, different need or credit quality we could not serve.
We have partnered in co-lending relationships with Banks & NBFCs. With these relationships we are
able to offer better loan terms to our borrowers. Further we have been able to give our partners a
chance to serve MSMEs as well through our platform and thereby increase our reach overall. These
relationships have been smoothly functioning via an inhouse developed platform that enables
seamless real-time information flow between Lendingkart and its partners for minimum turnaround
time. We aim to collaborate with them to increase our portfolio exposure to 50% with our co-lenders.
While serving our customers we realized that a lot of their families did not have access to rightful
insurance products. We then worked with newer insur-tech startups like Digit & Acko and established
brands like HFDC Ergo, Max Life & Tata AIG to design affordable and relevant products for them.
While working with our partners on our distribution/origination platform we realized how they faced
regular problems in registering themselves with multiple institutions, providing data and accessing
accounting and payments from them. We have taken a target to build a platform for our omnichannel
partners where they can easily access us and serve MSMEs. Also in future they get seamless access to
other partners as well who work with us in our eco-system. We currently have more than 100 active
partners working with us on our platform.
We closely monitor the NPAs and develop model based on learnings, industry and policy changes,
LendingKart's Machine Learning Algorithm and Models works on close to 10,000 variables, and has proven
to perform better for New to Credit MSMEs than 651-700 CIBIL score @ 6MoB-30+ rate. Lendingkart has
always been proactive in evaluating the early warning triggers and formulating mitigation strategies to address
the probable risks.
Business Performance:
In context of credit growth, Lendingkart has maintained its performance and the key figures are:
New loans booked during FY2020 were 52,835, an increase of 45% over last FY
Assets under management (AUM) grew by 77.2% to Rs 2428.8 Crores as of 31 March 2020
Total income in FY20 increased by 112.94% to Rs 464.3 Crores from last FY
Lendingkart has maintained the profitability of its NBFC arm, which only a few fin-techs have
achieved in the country.
With the continuous hard work from team, Lendingkart has secured an upgrade in Credit rating to
A-/ Stable Outlook from credit agencies.
Lendingkart is only one of the few lenders in MSME space which has more than 80 % of its portfolio
insured under Credit Guarantee Scheme (CGTSME) of Central government. This scheme provides
almost 75 % cover on the cost of default of the company.
In the ongoing year, the world is seeing the COVID -19 pandemic and its impact on all sectors of the world
economy. MSMEs in India have been impacted severely by pandemic induced lockdown and RBI has
announced credit reliefs and credit guarantee schemes to push more liquidity towards MSMEs. There has
been a wide opportunity segment foreseen for MSMEs due to the disruption in global demand & supply, and
supply chain as well, especially China, leading to an enforced rigor on making Bharat Atmanirbhar.
At the start of the lockdown period, we simulated various scenarios based on industry, geographical areas,
businesses segment and their impacts for planning the business for the coming year. The fundamental idea
was to help our existing customers and be empathetic towards them since they were going through one of
the most struggling times. We spoke to all our customers during the lockdown enquiring about their and
family’s wellness and how we could help them. This approach and internal efforts have gone a long way for
us in managing our collections during these times and allowing us to achieve numbers which are again best in
class. We as a firm have come out stronger with our employees having outperformed expectations while
working from home, enabling us to deliver a resilient performance during this time.
I am confident that the series of actions being taken by the governments and companies will succeed and
show an improved performance in the MSME segment in. Lendingkart hopes to be at the forefront to support
the sector in bringing this change.
For each of the functions this year, the focus shall be on driving cost efficiencies, enhancing product delivery,
leveraging the tech infrastructure, and building a more scalable and sustainable business.
I would like to thank fellow Lendingkart-ians, our partners and lenders and all other stakeholders for their
support, belief and commitment to us during last year. Hope to continue to build Lendingkart to be a company
we are all proud of.

Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Ind AS financial statements of Lendingkart Finance Limited (“the
Company”), which comprise the Balance sheet as at March 31 2020, the Statement of Profit and
Loss, including Other Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of
Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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, 2020, its profit 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial
statements.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to note 2.2 to the Ind AS financial statements, which describes the uncertainty
caused by Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic with respect to the Company’s estimates of
impairment of loans to customers and that such estimates may be affected by the severity and
duration of the pandemic.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Board of director’s report but does not include the Ind AS
financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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
Chartered Accountants
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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS
financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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(3)(i) 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
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to
Chartered Accountants
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 Ind AS financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the Ind AS 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.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the
Act
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Lendingkart Finance
Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2020 in conjunction with our audit of the 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 standalone 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
standalone 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 standalone 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 standalone 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
standalone financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting With Reference to these Financial
Statements
A company's internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these standalone
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 reference to these standalone financial statements includes those policies and
Chartered Accountants
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 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 Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting With Reference to
these Standalone Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting with
reference to these standalone 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 standalone financial statements to future periods are subject to
the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these standalone
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 standalone financial statements and such internal
financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone financial statements
were operating effectively as at March 31, 2020, 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.

1. Corporate information
Lendingkart Finance Limited (“the Company”) is a public limited company domiciled in India. The Company is a “Non-
Banking Financial Company” as defined under section 45-IA of the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”) Act, 1934 and engaged
in the business of providing working capital loan to the Small and medium sized enterprises and others. The Company is
non deposit taking non-banking financial company (NBFC) registered with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) with effect
from 15 April 2014, with Registration No. B-13.02085 (Issued in lieu of CoR No. B-09.00363). RBI, vide the circular –
‘Harmonisation of different categories of NBFCs’ issued on 22 February 2019, with a view to provide NBFCs with greater
operational flexibility and harmonisation of different categories of NBFCs into fewer categories based on the principle of
regulation by activity, merged the three categories of NBFCs viz. Asset Finance Companies (AFC), Loan Companies (LCs)
and Investment Companies (ICs) into a new category called NBFC – Investment and Credit Company (NBFC-ICC).
Accordingly, the Company has been reclassified as NBFC Investment and Credit Company (NBFC-ICC).
The Company has its registered office at A-303/304, Citi Point, Andheri-Kurla Road, Andheri (East), Mumbai, India. As
at 31 March 2020, Lendingkart Technologies Private Limited (“Holding Company”) owned 100% of the Company’s equity
share capital and has the ability to control its operating and financial policies.
2. Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as per the
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended from time to time and notified under section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) along with other relevant provisions of the Act and the Master Direction – Non-Banking
Financial Company – Systemically Important Non-Deposit taking Company and Deposit taking Company (Reserve Bank)
Directions, 2016 (‘the NBFC Master Directions’) issued by RBI. The financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis. The Company uses accrual basis of accounting except in case of significant uncertainties.
For all periods up to and including the year ended 31 March 2019, the company prepared its financial statements in
accordance with accounting standards notified under the section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with
paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (Indian GAAP or previous GAAP). The financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 2020 are the first financial statements, the Company has prepared in accordance with Ind AS.
The Company has applied Ind AS 101 ‘First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards’, for transition from previous
GAAP to Ind AS. An explanation of how transition to Ind AS has affected the previously reported financial position,
financial performance and cash flows of the Company is provided in note no 50.
The Company presents its Balance Sheet in order of liquidity. An analysis regarding recovery or settlement within 12
months after the reporting date (current) and more than 12 months after the reporting date (non–current) is presented in
Note 48.
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.
2.2 Estimation of uncertainties relating to the global health pandemic from COVID-19
The Company has considered all the possible effects that may result from the pandemic relating to COVID-19 on its
estimates and associated assumptions applied in preparing these financial statements, especially for determining the
impairment allowance for the company's financial assets (Loans). Estimates and assumptions are based on historical
experience and other emerging/ forward looking factors on account of the pandemic. The Company believes that the
factors considered are reasonable under the current circumstances. The Company has used early indicators of
moratorium and delayed payment metrics observed along with an estimation of potential stress on probability of default
and exposure at default due to Covid-19 situation in developing the estimates and assumptions to assess the impairment
loss allowance on Loans. Given the dynamic nature of the pandemic situation, these estimates are subject to uncertainty
and may be affected by the severity and duration of the pandemic. In the event the impacts are more severe or prolonged
than anticipated, this may have a corresponding impact on the carrying value of financial assets of the company. The
Company will continue to closely monitor material changes in markets and future economic conditions. Based on facts
and circumstances up to the date of adoption of these accounts by the Board of Directors, the Company does not
anticipate any material changes to the carrying value of assets and liabilities existing as on the Balance Sheet date.
Lendingkart Finance Limited
Notes forming part of financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020
(₹ in Lakhs unless otherwise stated)
This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements.
a. Interest income
a. The Company calculates interest income by using the effective interest rate (EIR) method to gross carrying
amount of financial asset other than credit impaired assets.
b. When a financial asset becomes credit-impaired and is, therefore, regarded as ‘Stage 3’, the company calculates
interest income by applying the effective interest rate to the net amortised cost 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.
c. Interest income on financial assets classified as FVTPL is recognised at contractual interest rate of financial
instruments.
d. Penal/additional charges on default in payment of dues by customer is recognised on realisation basis.
The EIR (and therefore, the amortised cost of the asset/ liability) is calculated by taking into account any discount
or premium on acquisition, commission, fees and costs incremental and directly attributable to the specific lending
arrangement.
The Company recognises interest income/ expense using a rate of return that represents the best estimate of a
constant rate of return over the expected life of the financial asset/ liability. The future cash flows are estimated
taking into account all the contractual terms of the asset/ liability. If expectations regarding the cash flows on the
financial asset/ liability are revised for reasons other than credit risk, the adjustment is booked as a positive or
negative adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset/ liability in the balance sheet. The adjustment is
subsequently amortised through Interest income/ expense in the statement of profit and loss.
The unrealised gain represents the difference between the carrying amount of a financial instrument at the beginning
of the period, or the transaction price if it was purchased in the current reporting period, and its carrying amount at
the end of the reporting period.
Revenue (other than for those items to which Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments are applicable) is measured at fair
value of the consideration received or receivable. Ind AS 115 Revenue from contracts with customers outlines a single
comprehensive model of accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue
recognition guidance found within Ind ASs.
Lendingkart Finance Limited
Notes forming part of financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020
(₹ in Lakhs unless otherwise stated)
The company recognises revenue from contracts with customers based on a five-step model as set out in Ind 115:
Step 1: Identify contract(s) with a customer: A contract is defined as an agreement between two or more
parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for every contract that must be met.
Step 2: Identify performance obligations in the contract: A performance obligation is a promise in a contract
with a customer to transfer a good or service to the customer.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price: The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the
company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding
amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: For a contract that has
more than one performance obligation, the company allocates the transaction price to each performance
obligation in an amount that depicts the amount of consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in
exchange for satisfying each performance obligation.
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation
a. Finance costs
Borrowing costs on financial liabilities are recognised using the EIR.
b. Fees and commission expenses
Fees and commission expenses which are not directly linked to the sourcing of financial assets/ liabilities, such as
commission/incentive incurred on value added services and products distribution, recovery charges and fees payable
for management of portfolio etc., are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on an accrual basis.
c. Taxes
Expensed are recognized net of the Goods and Services Tax/Service Tax, except where credit for the input tax is not
statutorily permitted.
A financial instrument is defined as any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability
or equity instrument of another entity.
a. Date of recognition
Financial assets and liabilities, with the exception of loans, debt securities and borrowings are initially recognised
on the trade date, i.e., the date that the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Loans are recognised when funds are transferred to the customers’ account. The company recognises debt securities
and borrowings when funds are received by the company.
The company classifies all of its financial instruments based on the business model for managing the assets and the
assets contractual terms, measured at either:
Amortised cost
FVOCI
FVTPL
Lendingkart Finance Limited
Notes forming part of financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020
(₹ in Lakhs unless otherwise stated)
a. Bank balances, Loans, Trade receivables and financial assets at amortised cost
The company measures Bank balances, Loans and other financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following
conditions are met:
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to
collect contractual cash flows.
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments
of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
If cash flows after initial recognition are realised in a way that is different from the Company’s original expectations,
the Company does not change the classification of the remaining financial assets held in that business model, but
incorporates such information when assessing newly originated financial assets going forward. The business model
of the Company for assets subsequently measured at amortised cost category is to hold and collect contractual cash
flows.
‘Principal’ for the purpose of this test is defined as the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition and may
change over the life of the financial asset (for example, if there are repayments of principal or amortisation of the
premium/discount).
The most significant elements of interest within a lending arrangement are typically the consideration for the time
value of money and credit risk. To make the SPPI assessment, the company applies judgement and considers relevant
factors such as the currency in which the financial asset is denominated, and the period for which the interest rate is
set.
c. 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 performance 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
Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are Solely Payments of Principal
and Interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding
The premium/deemed premium is recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the
life of the guarantee.
Undrawn loan commitments are commitments under which, over the duration of the commitment, the Company is
required to provide a loan with pre-specified terms to the customer. Undrawn loan commitments are in the scope of
the ECL requirements.
The nominal contractual value of undrawn loan commitments, where the loan agreed to be provided is on market
terms, are not recorded in the balance sheet.
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. Financial liabilities are never
reclassified.
When assessing whether or not to derecognise a loan to a customer, amongst others, the company considers the
following factors:
Change in the currency of loan
Introduction of an equity feature
Change in counterparty
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 asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or 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 its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset; Or
It retains the rights to the cash flows, but has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without
material delay to a third party under a ‘pass–through’ arrangement
The Company transfers its financial assets through the partial assignment route and accordingly derecognises the
transferred portion as it neither has any continuing involvement in the same nor does it retain any control. If the
Company retains the right to service the financial asset for a fee, it recognises either a servicing asset or a servicing
liability for that servicing contract. A service liability in respect of a service is recognised at fair value if the fee to
Lendingkart Finance Limited
Notes forming part of financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020
(₹ in Lakhs unless otherwise stated)
be received is not expected to compensate the Company adequately for performing the service. If the fees to be
received is expected to be more than adequate compensation for the servicing, a service asset is recognised for the
servicing right at an amount determined on the basis of an allocation of the carrying amount of the larger financial
asset.
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 three 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
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 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.
When the company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards and has retained control
of the asset, the asset continues to be recognised only to the extent of the company’s continuing involvement, in
which case, the company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are
measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the
original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration the company could be required to
pay.
If continuing involvement takes the form of a written or purchased option (or both) on the transferred asset, the
continuing involvement is measured at the value the company would be required to pay upon repurchase. In the case
of a written put option on an asset that is measured at fair value, the extent of the entity's continuing involvement is
limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price.
c. Financial liabilities
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 of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying
value of the original financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.

(₹ in Lakhs unless otherwise stated)
The ECL allowance is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset (the lifetime expected
credit loss or LTECL), unless there has been no significant increase in credit risk since origination, in which case,
the allowance is based on the 12 months’ expected credit loss (12mECL).
The 12mECL is the portion of LTECLs that represent the ECLs that result from default events on a financial
instrument that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date.
Both LTECLs and 12mECLs are calculated on either an individual basis or a collective basis, depending on the
nature of the underlying portfolio of financial instruments.
The company has established a policy to perform an assessment, at the end of each reporting period, of whether a
financial instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, by considering the change in
the risk of default occurring over the remaining life of the financial instrument.
Based on the above process, the company categorises its loans into Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3, as described below:
The Company classifies its financial assets in three stages having the following characteristics:
Stage 1: unimpaired and without significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition on which a 12-month
allowance for ECL is recognised. Stage 1 loans also include facilities where the credit risk has improved, and
the loan has been reclassified from Stage 2.
Stage 2: a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition on which a lifetime ECL is recognised. Stage
2 loans also include facilities, where the credit risk has improved, and the loan has been reclassified from Stage
3.
Stage 3: objective evidence of impairment and are therefore considered to be in default or otherwise credit
impaired on which a lifetime ECL is recognised.
For financial assets for which the company has no reasonable expectations of recovering either the entire outstanding
amount, or a proportion thereof, the gross carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced. This is considered a
(partial) derecognition of the financial asset.
The company calculates ECLs to measure the expected cash shortfalls, discounted at an approximation to the EIR.
A cash shortfall 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.
The mechanics of the ECL calculations are outlined below and the key elements are, as follows:
When estimating the ECLs, the company considers three scenarios (a base case, an upside, a downside). Each of
these is associated with different PDs, EADs and LGDs. When relevant, the assessment of multiple scenarios also
incorporates how defaulted loans are expected to be recovered, including the probability that the loans will cure and
the value of collateral or the amount that might be received for selling the asset.
The maximum period for which the credit losses are determined is the contractual life of a financial instrument
unless the company has the legal right to call it earlier.
Impairment losses and releases are accounted for and disclosed separately from modification losses or gains that
are accounted for as an adjustment of the financial asset’s gross carrying value.
Stage-1:
The 12mECL is calculated as the portion of LTECLs that represent the ECLs that result from default events on
a financial instrument that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date. The company calculates
the 12mECL allowance based on the expectation of a default occurring in the 12 months following the reporting
date. These expected 12-month default probabilities are applied to a forecast EAD and multiplied by the expected
LGD. This calculation is made for each of the three scenarios, as explained above.
Stage-2:
When a loan has shown a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the company records an allowance
for the LTECLs. The mechanics are similar to those explained above, including the use of multiple scenarios,
but PDs and LGDs are estimated over the lifetime of the instrument.
Stage-3:
For loans considered credit-impaired, the company recognises the lifetime expected credit losses for these loans.
The method is similar to that for Stage 2 assets, with the PD set at 100%.
Loan commitments:
When estimating LTECLs for undrawn loan commitments, the company estimates the expected portion of the
loan commitment that will be drawn down over its expected life. The ECL is then based on the present value of
the expected shortfalls in cash flows if the loan is drawn down, based on a probability-weighting of the three
scenarios. The expected cash shortfalls are discounted at an approximation to the expected EIR on the loan.
c. Contract assets
The company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on contract assets. 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 assets. The provision
matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the assets and is adjusted for
forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated for changes in
the forward-looking estimates.

(ix) Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE)
CGTMSE has been set up jointly by Ministry of MSME, Government of India and SIDBI to catalyse flow of institutional
credit to Micro & Small Enterprises (MSEs). Over the past 18 years, CGTMSE has been instrumental in providing
guarantee cover on credit extended by eligible Member Lending Institutions [MLIs] to MSEs.
The Company has also become the MLI in the same scheme and obtained sovereign guarantee cover of its portfolio.
Accordingly, the company has incorporated the benefit of this sovereign guarantee cover in calculation of impairment
of assets.
(x) Write-offs
Financial assets are written off either partially or in their entirety only when the company has stopped pursuing the
recovery. If the amount to be written off is greater than the accumulated loss allowance, the difference is first treated
as an addition to the allowance that is then applied against the gross carrying amount. Any subsequent recoveries are
credited to impairment on financial instrument on statement of profit and loss.
The company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet 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:
In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the company.
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:
Level-1 financial instruments
Those where the inputs used in the valuation are unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that the company has access to at the measurement date. The company considers markets as active
only if there are sufficient trading activities with regards to the volume and liquidity of the identical assets or
liabilities and when there are binding and exercisable price quotes available on the balance sheet date.
unobservable inputs which are significant to the entire measurement, the company will classify the instruments
as Level 3.
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 categorisation (based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated into the functional currency at the
spot rate of exchange at the reporting date. All differences arising on non–trading activities are taken to other
income/expense in the statement of profit and loss.
Non–monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the spot exchange
rates as at the date of recognition.
(xiii) Leases
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.
a. Company as a lessee
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.
Right-of-use 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.
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the
exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. The right-of-
use assets are also subject to impairment.
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
insubstance 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. The lease payments also include
the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the company and payments of
penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the company exercising the option to terminate.

(₹ in Lakhs unless otherwise stated)
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are
incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
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 term, 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 change in the assessment
of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
b. Company as a lessor
Leases in which the company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of
an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the
lease terms. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying
amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent
rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, highly liquid securities with an original maturity of three months or
less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in
value. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.
Property plant and equipment is stated at cost excluding the costs of day–to–day servicing, less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment in value. Changes in the expected useful life are accounted for by changing
the amortisation period or methodology, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on the written down value method using the rates arrived
at based on useful life of the assets prescribed under Schedule II of the Act which is also as per the useful life of the
assets estimated by the management.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each
financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Property plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its
use. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is recognised in other income / expense in the statement of profit and
loss in the year the asset is derecognised. The date of disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is the date
the recipient obtains control of that item in accordance with the requirements for determining when a performance
obligation is satisfied in Ind AS 115.
The company’s other intangible assets mainly include the value of computer software and assets under development.
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.

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired
in a business combination is their fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets
are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets are amortised using the straight-line method over a period of three years, which is the Management’s
estimate of its useful life. The useful lives of intangible assets are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted
prospectively, if appropriate
The company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the company estimates the asset’s
recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and its
value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows
that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In
determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account.
For assets, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously
recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the company estimates the
asset’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in
the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The
reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for
the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the statement of profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a
revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
Financial guarantees are initially recognised in the financial statements (within ‘other liabilities’) at fair value, being
the premium received. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined
as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation.
Any increase in the liability relating to financial guarantees is recorded in the statement of profit and loss in credit loss
expense. The premium received is recognised in the statement of profit and loss in net fees and commission income
on a straight-line basis over the life of the guarantee.
a. Provident fund
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The company has no obligation,
other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The company recognises contribution payable to the
provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to
the scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit
payable to the scheme is recognised as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution
already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is
recognised as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or
a cash refund.

b. Gratuity liability
Gratuity liability is a defined benefit plan and the costs of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is
determined using the projected unit credit method.
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the 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. Remeasurements
are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of:
The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The company
recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the consolidated statement
of profit and loss:
Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and
nonroutine settlements; and
Net interest expense or income
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to
past service (‘past service cost’ or past service gain’) or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately
in the statement of profit and loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit
plan when the settlement occurs
c. Compensated absences
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee
benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay
as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term
employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the
actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end.
(xx) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events,
and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation,
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the effect of the time value of money is
material, the company determines the level of provision by discounting the expected cash flows at a pre-tax rate
reflecting the current rates specific to the liability. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement
of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
(xxi) Taxes
a. Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior years are measured at the amount expected to be recovered
from, or paid to, the taxation authorities, in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961 and the Income Computation
and Disclosure Standards (ICDS) prescribed therein.. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are
those that are enacted, or substantively enacted, by the reporting date in the jurisdiction where the company operates
and generates taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in
other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying
transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns

with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions
where appropriate.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the
recognised amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
b. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
Where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a
transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting
profit nor taxable profit or loss
In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, where the timing of the
reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not
reverse in the foreseeable future
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits
and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will
be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and
unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
When the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of
an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects
neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss
In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and
interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the
temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the
temporary differences can be utilised
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no
longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be
utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that
it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset
is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted
at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other
comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction
either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax
assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation
authority.
c. Goods and services tax /value added taxes paid on acquisition of assets or on incurring expenses
Expenses and assets are recognised net of the goods and services tax/value added taxes paid, except:
When the tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which
case, the tax paid is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item, as
applicable
When receivables and payables are stated with the amount of tax included
The net amount of tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or
payables in the balance sheet.

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present
obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognised
because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognise a contingent liability but discloses its
existence in the financial statements. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which
the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made
Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements. However, it is disclosed only when
an inflow of economic benefits is highly probable.
Commitments include the amount of purchase order (net of advances) issued to the counterparties for
supplying/development of asset and amount of undisbursed portfolio loans.
Contingent assets, contingent liabilities and commitments are reviewed at each reporting date.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing profit after tax (excluding other comprehensive income) attributable
to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all
dilutive potential equity shares.
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures,
as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in
outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
Accounting estimates and judgments are used in various line items in the financial statements for e.g.:

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID 19 a pandemic, which has impacted almost all
countries around the world, including India. As a control measure, the Indian Government announced a lock down across
India to restrict the spread of the virus. Consequently, on 27th March, 2020, the RBI announced various regulatory
measures to mitigate the burden of debt servicing brought about by disruptions on account of COVID-19 pandemic and to
ensure continuity of viable businesses (Reference RBI Circular no RBI/2019-20/186 DOR.No.BP.BC.47/21.04.048/2019-
20 dated March 27, 2020, RBI/2019-20/220 DOR.No.BP.BC.63/21.04.048/2019-20 dated April 17, 2020 and RBI/2019-
20/244 DOR.No.BP.BC.71/21.04.048/2019-20 dated May 22, 2020). The RBI has given certain waivers to the borrowers
which include moratorium to pay principal and interest with relaxation on their classification as a non-performing asset.
The moratorium is essentially granted to help the borrowers to tide over a liquidity crisis caused by the corona disruption.
The company has also provided moratorium facility to its customer based on a board approved policy with effect from
27th March 2020 to all loans classified as standard as on 29th February 2020. Therefore, the original tenure of loans is
extended. Also, the moratorium period, wherever granted, is excluded by the company from the number of days past-due
for the purpose of asset classification under the IRAC norms.

43. Capital:
The Company actively manages its capital base to cover risks inherent to its business and meet the capital adequacy
requirement of RBI. The adequacy of the Company’s capital is monitored using, among other measures, the regulations
issued by RBI.
i. Capital management
Objective:
The Company’s objective is to maintain appropriate levels of capital to support its business strategy taking into account
the regulatory, economic and commercial environment. The Company aims to maintain a strong capital base to support
the risks inherent to its business and growth strategies. The Company endeavours to maintain a higher capital base than
the mandated regulatory capital at all times.
Planning:
The Company’s assessment of capital requirement is aligned to its planned growth which forms part of an annual
operating plan which is approved by the Board and also a long-range strategy. These growth plans are aligned to
assessment of risks– which include credit, liquidity and interest rate.
The management monitors its capital to risk-weighted assets ratio (CRAR) on a monthly basis and the same is also
monitored in Assets Liability Management Committee (ALCO).
The Company endeavours to maintain its CRAR higher than the mandated regulatory norm. Accordingly, increase in
capital is planned well in advance to ensure adequate funding for its growth.
(a) Securitisation
The company has Securitised certain loans, however the company has not transferred substantially all risks and
rewards, hence these assets have not been de-recognised in its entirety.
As per the terms of these deals, since substantial risk and rewards related to these assets were transferred to the
extent of 80-90% of the assets transferred to the buyer, the assets have been de-recognised from the Company’s
balance sheet. The table below summarises the carrying amount of the derecognised financial assets measured at
amortised cost and the gain on derecognition, per type of asset.
Loans and advances measured at amortised cost 31 March 2020 31 March 2019

Gain from derecognition 1,721.87 525.37
In order to show how fair values have been derived, financial instruments are classified based on a hierarchy of valuation
techniques.
Valuation framework
The Company has an internal fair value assessment team which assesses the fair values for assets qualifying for fair
valuation.
These valuation models are subject to a process of due diligence and validation before they become operational and are
continuously calibrated. These models are subject to approvals by various functions including risk, treasury and finance
functions. Finance function is responsible for establishing procedures, governing valuation and ensuring fair values are
in compliance with accounting standards. Company has an internal fair value assessment team which assesses the fair
values for assets qualifying for fair valuation.
Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost except for market linked
debentures which are measured at fair value through profit and loss.
Fair value of market linked debentures is measured at fair value through profit and loss. Fair value of Market
linked debentures is derived from independent valuer. The valuation is done based on discounted cashflow
method. The option portion is projected using Monte Carlo simulations and Geometric Brownian Motion is
used to project the Index levels into the future. The Index levels are projected based on certain assumptions and
the value of debenture is then arrived at by discounting the respective cashflows.

(₹ in Lakhs unless otherwise stated)
The Company has determined that the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, bank balances, expenses
payables, bank overdrafts and other current liabilities are a reasonable approximation of their fair value and
hence their carrying value are deemed to be fair value.
The Company determines fair values of its financial instruments according to the following hierarchy:
Level 1: valuation based on quoted market price: financial instruments with quoted prices for identical instruments in
active markets that the Company can access at the measurement date.
Level 2: valuation based on using observable inputs: financial instruments with quoted prices for similar instruments in
active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets and financial instruments valued
using models where all significant inputs are observable.
Level 3: valuation technique with significant unobservable inputs: – financial instruments valued using valuation
techniques where one or more significant inputs are unobservable. This is the case for contingent consideration and
indemnification assets.
Financial liabilities:
Debt Securities 39,284.43 5,122.94 36,054.50 2,740.85 3,320.18 -

Total financial liabilities 1,59,748.96 5,122.94 1,07,764.37 2,740.85 40,185.04 -
Valuation techniques
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, other financial asset, trade payables, other
payables and other financial liabilities are considered to be approximately equal to the fair value due to their short-term
maturities.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions
were used to estimate the fair values:
Loans - The fair value of floating rate loans are deemed to be equivalent to the carrying value. The fair value of certain
fixed rate loans is determined by discounting expected future contractual cash flows using current market interest rates
charged for similar new loans.
Borrowings - The fair value of certain fixed rate borrowings is determined by discounting expected future contractual
cash flows using current market interest rates charged for similar new loans. The fair value of floating rate borrowings
is deemed to be equivalent to the carrying value.

The Company is exposed to certain financial risks namely credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk i.e. interest risk and
foreign currency risk. The Company’s primary focus is to achieve better predictability of financial markets and minimize
potential adverse effects on its financial performance by effectively managing the risks on its financial assets and
liabilities.
The Principal objective in Company 's risk management processes is to measure and monitor the various risks associated
with the Company and to follow policies and procedures to address such risks. The Company's risk management
framework is driven by its Board and its subcommittees including the Audit Committee, the Asset Liability Management
Committee and the Risk Management Committee. The Company gives due importance to prudent lending practices and
have implemented suitable measures for risk mitigation, which include verification of credit history from credit
information bureaus, personal verification of a customer’s business and residence, technical and legal verifications. For
credit risk refer note 48(c).
A. Liquidity Risk:
The Company’s ALCO monitors asset liability mismatches to ensure that there are no imbalances or excessive
concentrations on either side of the Balance Sheet.
The Company continuously monitors liquidity in the market; and as a part of its ALCO strategy, the Company maintains
a liquidity buffer managed by an active investment desk to reduce this risk.
The Company maintains a judicious mix of borrowings from banks, money markets and public and other deposits. The
Company continues to diversify its sources of borrowings with an emphasis on longer tenor borrowings. This strategy
of balancing varied sources of funds and long tenor borrowings has helped the Company to maintain a healthy asset
liability position. The Company continues to evaluate new sources of borrowing by way of new routes of funding like
rupee denominated External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) – masala bonds and Foreign currency denominated bonds.

The Company classifies its financial assets in three stages having the following characteristics:
Stage 1: unimpaired and without significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition on which a 12
month allowance for ECL is recognised.
Stage 2: a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition on which a lifetime ECL is recognised.
Stage 3: objective evidence of impairment, and are therefore considered to be in default or otherwise credit
impaired on which a lifetime ECL is recognised.
Unless identified at an earlier stage, all financial assets are deemed to have suffered a significant increase in credit risk
when they are 30 days past due (DPD) and are accordingly transferred from stage 1 to stage 2. For stage 1 an ECL
allowance is calculated based on a 12 month Point in Time (PIT) probability weighted probability of default (PD). For
stage 2 and 3 assets a life time ECL is calculated based on a lifetime PD.
The Company has calculated ECL using three main components: a probability of default (PD), a loss given default
(LGD) and the exposure at default (EAD) along with an adjustment considering forward macro-economic conditions.
Financial instruments other than loans were subjected to simplified ECL approach under Ind AS 109 'Financial
Instruments' and accordingly were not subject to sensitivity of future economic conditions.
Below is the summary for the approach adopted by the Company for various components of ECL viz. PD, EAD and
LGD using empirical data where relevant:
The Company’s operates with its internal rating models in which its customers are rate from “A” to “F” using
internal grades. The models incorporate both qualitative and quantitative information and, in addition to
information specific to the borrower, utilise supplemental external information that could affect the borrower’s
behaviour. PDs are then adjusted for Ind AS 109 ECL calculations to incorporate forward looking information
and the Ind AS 109 Stage classification of the exposure.
PD is based on a internal rating model, days past due and various historical, current and forward-looking
information.
The exposure at default represents the gross carrying amount of the financial instruments subject to the
impairment calculation.
LGD values are assessed based on key characteristics that are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows.
The applied data is based on historically collected loss data and involves a wider set of transaction
characteristics as well as borrower characteristics.
Further recent data and forward-looking economic scenarios are used in order to determine the Ind AS 109
LGD rate for each group of financial instruments. When assessing forward-looking information, the
expectation is based on multiple scenarios. Examples of key inputs involve changes in payment status,
geographical location, industrial sector or other factors that are indicative of losses in the company.

Expected credit loss impairment loss allowances recognised in the financial statements reflect the effect of a range of
possible economic outcomes, calculated on a probability-weighted basis, based on the economic scenarios described
below.
The recognition and measurement of ECL involves the use of estimation. It is necessary to formulate multiple forward
looking economic forecasts and its impact as an integral part of ECL model.
Methodology
The Company has adopted the use of three scenarios, representative of its view of forecast economic conditions,
required to calculate unbiased expected loss. They represent a most likely outcome i.e. central scenario and two less
likely outer scenarios referred to as the upside and downside scenarios. The Company has assigned a 10% probability
to the two outer scenarios, while the central scenario has been assigned an 80% probability. These weights are deemed
appropriate for the unbiased estimation of impact of macro factors on ECL. The key scenario assumptions are used
keeping in mind external forecasts and Management estimates which ensure that the scenarios are unbiased.
The Company has used multiple economic factors and tested their correlations with past loss trends witnessed. The
economic factors tested were GDP growth rates, growth of bank credit, wholesale price index (WPI), consumer price
index (CPI), industrial production index, crude oil prices, exchange rate and policy interest rates. Based on past
correlation trends, CPI and policy interest rates were the two factors with acceptable correlation with past loss trends
which were in line with Management views on the drivers of portfolio trends. These factors were assigned appropriate
weights to measure ECL in forecast economic conditions.

These are the Company’s first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS.
The Company has prepared its Ind AS compliant financial statements for year ended on 31 March 2020, the
comparative year ended on 31 March 2019 and an opening Ind AS Balance Sheet as at 01 April 2018, as described in
the summary of significant accounting policies. This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company
in restating its previous GAAP financial statements, including the Balance Sheet as at 01 April 2018 and the financial
statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2019.
For year ended up to the year ended 31 March 2019, the Company had prepared its financial statements in accordance
with the accounting standards notified under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with paragraph 7
of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (Previous GAAP).
Set out below are the applicable Ind AS 101 mandatory exceptions and optional exemptions applied in the transition
from previous GAAP to Ind AS, which were considered to be material or significant by the Company.
Mandatory exceptions
The Company has adopted all relevant mandatory exceptions set out in Ind AS 101 which are as below:
(i) Estimates
Ind AS 101 prescribes that an entity’s estimates in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition to Ind AS
shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments
to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in
error.
The Company’s Ind AS estimates as at the transition date are consistent with the estimates as at the same date
made in conformity with previous GAAP.
(ii) Leases
Under Ind AS 116, lessees have to recognise a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a ‘right-of-use
asset’ for almost all lease contracts. Ind AS 116 gives lessees optional exemptions for certain short-term leases
and leases of low-value assets. The Company has recognised lease liability and ‘a right-of-use asset’ for all lease
contracts. Accordingly, interest expense on the lease liability and depreciation on the right-of-use asset portion
is adjusted in retained earnings (net of related deferred taxes) as at the date of transition and subsequently in the
statement of profit and loss for the year ended 31 March 2019.
Ind AS 101 requires an entity to reconcile equity, total comprehensive income and cash flows for previous years. The
following table represent the reconciliations from previous GAAP to Ind AS.

Explanations to reconciliation
(v) Leases:
Under the Indian GAAP, lease rentals related to operating lease were accounted as expense in statement of profit
and loss. Under Ind AS, lease liability and right of use is recorded at present value of future contractual rent
payment on initial date of lease. Subsequently, finance cost is accrued on lease liability and lease payments are
recorded by way of reduction in lease liability. ROU is depreciated over lease term.
Impact of Ind AS adoption on the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended 31 March 2019
There are no material adjustments on transition to Ind AS in the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended 31 March
2019.
51. The Company has reclassified/regrouped previous year figures to conform to current year’s classification, where
applicable.
