Annual Report 2015 7
Message from the Chairman and Managing Director

Dear Shareholders,
The economic mood of the country has seen some swings during
FY15. Coming off a challenging year, the year started with hope
and optimism, which intensified after the General Elections provided
a decisive outcome. Some of the optimism has since petered out:
there is evidently some disenchantment because outcomes are not
being delivered at the pace that many had hoped. While the short-
term fixation on numbers in some sections will cause swings from
time to time, at Religare we believe that the nation is currently going
through a phase that will set the stage for sustained, consistent
and broad-based growth over a multi-decade period. This journey
will take India closer to attaining developed country status in the
times to come, creating once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for many
businesses. In particular, the financial services sector is poised for
remarkable growth – it is as much an enabler of economic growth
as it is a beneficiary, and will have a central role to play in the
nation’s development over the coming years and decades.
In the year gone by, we chose to focus on growing our businesses
rather than get distracted by macro-economic variables or
variations in the mood. This focus has helped us deliver growth
across all our businesses, resulting in 21% growth in consolidated
revenue in FY15 over the earlier year and turning the corner from a
loss to profitability on a consolidated basis, while we continued to
strengthen the businesses for the longer term.
In our SME-focussed Lending Business, we had been circumspect
about the credit environment and therefore held the balance sheet
flat through FY13 and FY14. Our prudence has stood us in good
stead and allowed us to grow the balance sheet substantially in
FY15 while maintaining a high quality portfolio. Concurrently, we
have been scaling up our affordable housing finance business in a calibrated manner. Today this business is small in comparison to our
SME-focussed Lending Business, but the expansion of the economy and consequent percolation of its benefits through society will result
in enormous demand for affordable housing in the medium term, and it follows that specialist financiers will be called upon to finance the
acquisition of these houses. This business is one of our growth engines for the future.
The year saw some buoyancy return to the equity markets and our Capital Markets businesses – both retail and institutional – have benefitted
from a revival of interest in the market. Our Wealth Management business grew its assets under advice by nearly half during the year, thanks
to the superior solution design skills that the business has developed.
Our domestic asset management business and our global alternative asset management business have both been successful in growing
their assets under management by raising new funds. Investors have entrusted us with their money purely on the basis of the track record
of delivering superior returns. In the aggregate, the assets under management for Religare globally have grown to over USD 23 billion (`1.41
trillion) squarely pacing us in the league of the large India-based asset managers.
Our Health Insurance business has all the ingredients for sustained growth over a long period of time: low penetration, growing awareness of
health issues, greater access to treatment and the rising cost of healthcare that customers need to protect themselves against. The business
is scaling up rapidly, not just riding the tailwinds, but taking the lead in designing innovative products to blaze its own trail. We undertook
a strategic review of our Life Insurance joint venture and found that changes in regulations have altered the expected return profile of the
business in its current form such that they no longer meet our return expectations. Based on this assessment, we have expressed our desire
to exit the venture. Religare’s investment in this joint venture has been protected all along and we will therefore exit the venture with a profit.
We have made the most of the improvement in the environment and created opportunities for ourselves in FY15. The stage is getting set for
multi-decade growth and we are well positioned for this. Religare will continue to grow with India – and with you – every day.
With best wishes,

(Sunil Godhwani)

Message from the Group Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholders,
Through the lens of the market, FY15 comes across as a year of lost
opportunities, but our belief is that in hindsight it will prove to be an
inflection year for the Indian economy. The GDP growth trajectory
has finally changed and is showing signs of accelerating, although
performance is yet to reach potential. Most macro-economic
indicators have gradually turned positive – inflation was brought
under control which provided headroom for three rate cuts in the
first four months of 2015, the fiscal deficit has been contained and
there has been a reduction in the current account deficit – while key
external variables have been benign – particularly oil and commodity
prices. For those that were willing to look hard, there were many
opportunities. Religare has seized all opportunities and turned
this into an inflection year for itself – one of growth with a return to
profitability.
Religare Finvest Limited (RFL), which runs our SME-focussed
Lending business, grew its loan book by 29% during the year as it
was able to pick the credit of its choice. A key strategic initiative for
the year was reducing the cost of borrowing and RFL has substantial
success to show: the average cost of borrowing has declined from
12.20% in FY14 to 11.76% in FY15. This has enabled RFL to report
16% year-on-year growth in profit before tax against just 7% growth
in revenue. Much of the increase in the lending book size has come
towards the end of the year, creating the base for faster revenue
growth in FY16 with positive ramifications for profitability. RFL’s
subsidiary Religare Housing Development Finance Corporation
Limited (RHDFC) which focuses on financing of affordable housing
has expanded into three more states – Maharashtra, Gujarat and
Madhya Pradesh – per its plans. It is well-poised to benefit from the
impending growth of the affordable housing market resulting from large-scale urbanisation across India.
In the capital markets, the first leg of the improvement came in the form of an increase in institutional activity, followed by high net-worth
individuals entering the market; our Institutional Equities and Wealth Management businesses have been in front of clients to capture this
business. As in the past, retail interest has trailed institutions and HNIs, and our Retail Broking business has geared itself up to participate
in the upswing.
The uptick in the market has translated into greater retail flows for the Mutual Fund industry, particularly in equity funds. Religare Invesco
Mutual Fund has improved its market-share during FY15, with average AUM for the fourth quarter of FY15 at `210 billion, 45% higher than
a year ago. Our alternatives platform, Religare Global Asset Management (RGAM) too has had a very successful year. Landmark Partners
– RGAM’s US-based affiliate that focusses on private equity and real estate secondaries – closed a USD 6 billion fund raise, a testament to
its stellar performance record. RGAM has now become a meaningful contributor to REL’s consolidated profits.
Religare Health Insurance Company Limited (RHICL) completed its second full year of operations and clocked Gross Written Premium of
`2.76 billion during FY15, year-on-year growth of 81%. RHICL has systematically expanded its network, both in terms of distribution (RHICL
now has 46 sales offices across the length and the breadth of the country) and hospital tie-ups (over 1,300 hospitals added for cashless
service taking the tally to 4,409). While the expansion has been rapid, RHICL is utilising capital in the most prudent manner and is the most
efficient standalone health insurance company in India in terms of revenue generated for every rupee of capital invested.
With the improvement in performance of our underlying businesses, we have reported significantly better consolidated performance. Our
consolidated revenue for FY15 was `41.9 billion, growth of 21% year-on-year and consolidated PAT was `1.5 billion as against a reported
loss of `693 million in the earlier year. The consolidated numbers are net of the reported loss in the Health Insurance business, amounting to
`894 million in FY15, which in reality represents part of the initial investment inherent in the insurance business. To that extent, the underlying
performance has been better. For Religare, FY15 has been a year of growth with profitability and has set the direction for future. We look
forward to your continued support in our journey of growth together.
With best wishes,

(Shachindra Nath)

Our Business

Our Structure and Portfolio of Business

Religare Enterprises Limited (REL) is a Core Investment Company that seeds, nurtures and helps build businesses across the
financial services spectrum with the objective of creating equity value for REL. The individual businesses within the Religare
portfolio are operated out of subsidiaries or joint ventures. REL has hand-picked the most distinguished professionals to
manage day-to-day operations and gives the management teams complete independence in running the businesses. On its
part, REL has a four-fold role to play in ensuring the success of the businesses:

• Investing Capital – a key factor of production for any enterprise, and indeed, the raw material for financial services
businesses – in the operating companies

• Ensuring that the Brand and Group Ethos are safeguarded – our portfolio companies carry the Religare brand in their
names and the businesses are required to operate in a manner that upholds the values that Religare stands for

• Determining Governance Structures and Risk Management & Control mechanisms – such that there are checks
and balances at every level and the businesses are safeguarded against undue perils

• Undertaking Performance Management – to ensure that the capital invested is being deployed in a manner that
furthers REL’s ultimate objective

Early in its journey, Religare recognised the merits of building an integrated financial services platform. Our portfolio companies
carry the Religare brand and work cohesively, allowing them to synergistically capture opportunities arising across the financial
services spectrum. Our portfolio companies today operate across four verticals and collectively cover almost every sub-
vertical within financial services:

• Lending: The lending business operates through Religare Finvest Limited, a Non-Banking Finance Company that
focuses on the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) sector which is the backbone of India’s economy. RFL’s subsidiary
Religare Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited is a Housing Finance Company (HFC) engaged in the
business of providing home loans with a focus on the affordable housing segment.

• Capital Markets & Wealth Management: Retail broking was the first business that Religare commenced, and today,
Religare Securities Limited and Religare Commodities Limited provide retail customers broking services in equities,
commodities and currencies. Religare Capital Markets Limited operates a world-class Institutional Equities and
Investment Banking business that has created a distinct position in India and some key regional markets. Religare
Wealth Management Limited is an open architecture wealth management platform targeting the growing affluence in
the Indian market.

Our Business

• Asset Management: Religare Invesco Asset Management Company Pvt. Ltd., in which Invesco holds 49% equity,
manages the Religare Invesco Mutual Fund, offers Portfolio Management Services and manages offshore funds in
India. Religare Global Asset Management is pursuing the development of a best-in-class alternative investments
platform, using a combination of organic and inorganic initiatives and is now in the process of establishing multiple
alternative asset managers in India.

• Insurance: Religare Health Insurance Company Limited has quickly rolled out its operations leveraging the collective
experience of the Group in financial services and healthcare delivery, developed innovative products to meet the evolving
requirements of a growing market and built a multi-channel distribution model, backed by superior customer service.

This integrated financial services platform provides services across customer segments – institutional, corporate, SME, HNI,
mass affluent, retail and social/rural – and on multiple revenue models – fee-based, balance sheet-led and fiduciary. Diversity
in the portfolio provides balance, reduces volatility and helps minimise risk.

The retail-oriented businesses in Religare’s portfolio today collectively touch the lives of around 1.1 million people. Be it
helping entrepreneurial dreams come to life by funding thousands of small and medium enterprises, providing small investors
access to profitable opportunities in the capital markets, linking agriculturists and traders in the mandis (commodity markets)
of India to global commodity markets, assisting the young and old alike to accumulate savings to achieve their life goals or
providing savings and protection options to deal with the uncertainties of life, the Religare platform has a solution for virtually
every financial need. On the institutional side, Religare has made its presence felt both in India and in key regional markets
within a short period of time. Religare has been empanelled with over 490 institutional investors globally, and given the trend
of investors consolidating their business with fewer brokers that provide distinctive services, we are set to become a dominant
player. Our Global Asset Management platform is one-of-its-kind, straddling developed markets – which have rich investing
experience and skills – and emerging markets – which are set to become the drivers of the global economy.

The Religare platform is uniquely positioned to capture the enormous opportunity in India’s financial services industry.

Lending

SME lending, RFL also provides financing against shares and


securities, both to retail customers and to promoters of listed
companies, ESOP financing and IPO financing (collectively
referred to as Capital Market Lending). As a founding
philosophy, RFL focuses on loans that have enhancement

use and undertakes a rigorous credit assessment based on
cash-flow forecasts.

The SME sector is extremely vibrant – many innovations,


particularly in cost-effective product design, originate here
– and is also the crucible of entrepreneurship – many
enterprises that are the torch-bearers of their industries today

In compliance with Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Rules
2014, the Company has established a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee during the financial year 2014-2015.

The CSR Committee has formulated and recommended to the Board, a CSR Policy indicating the activities to be undertaken by the
Company, which has been approved by the Board.

With a view to work towards improving the overall quality of life and champion holistic community development for the underprivileged
and marginalized sections of the society, the Company has launched project “Swavalamban”. The project will initially cover 2 pockets
of Delhi NCR which has a high concentration of the urban poor, underprivileged, underserved and marginalized sections of the society.
Based on learnings and success, the intent is to subsequently roll out the initiatives across parts of the country. The broad themes
under the overarching project shall focus on areas such as healthcare, sanitation, education and skill development & livelihood
training.

The project will be carried out by an implementation partner, HEAL Foundation under the governance and supervision of senior
officials from the company.

The CSR policy and framework underwent extensive discussions and deliberations at the senior leadership level within the Religare
Group, and was finally frozen and adopted in early February 2015 at the Group level, with a view to replicating the implementation
design across all Group operating entities. Post this, work on granular details on the Project along with identified partner took time
and finally took shape end of FY 2014-15. Hence, the Company did not spend any money on CSR in FY 2014-15, but it shall do so
in FY2015-16.

Management Discussion & Analysis – FY2014-15

1. Industry Overview and Macro-economic Developments


Summary
The Indian economy seems to be getting reenergised, having recorded more than 7% growth in FY2014-15. This has been on
account of improved industrial and services sector performance, along with improvement witnessed on other key parameters such as
reduction in inflation and trade deficit. Some of it is also on account of overall improvement in business sentiment since the formation
of the new government at the centre that has been working on improving the overall business environment in the country along with
strengthening bilateral relations. The overall positive sentiment was also reflected in the improved performance of the equity market
that witnessed one of the highest returns in the recent past, as also in most other segments of the financial services industry. Over
time, the monetary policy has also been easing with the containment of inflation, in order to provide a further impetus to growth. All
these factors have contributed to an expectation of a further improvement in the growth trajectory, with the growth rate likely to cross
8% if enabling structural reforms are implemented.
Markets sailed on political euphoria
According to Bloomberg data, FY2014-15 marked the highest return for the Sensex in the past five years. This was on account of
the expected turnaround in India’s economic growth after a decisive outcome in the General Elections that sent the markets rallying.

S&P BSE Sensex Returns (year-on-year)1


FY2010-11 FY2011-12 FY2012-13 FY2013-14 FY2014-15
10.5% -10.5% 8.2% 18.8% 25.0%
This euphoria continued throughout FY2014-15, when the Sensex remained above the 22,000 mark in every single month of the year.
This is unlike FY2013-14, where the Sensex remained below this level in 11 out of 12 months2.
Growth on an improving trajectory
The pulse of the Indian economy seems to be improving, with the GDP growth rate (based on the new series) gradually and consistently
rising from an anaemic 5.1% in FY2012-13 to 6.9% in FY2013-14 and reaching a healthy level of 7.3% in FY2014-15.

GDP Growth Rate3 Growth by Sector4


(new GDP series; base year: 2011-12) (based on the new GDP series)
8.0% 6.9% 7.3% Sector FY2012-13 FY2013-14 FY2014-15

6.0% 51.% Agriculture 1.2% 3.7% 0.2%

4.0% Industry 5.4% 4.5% 6.1%

2.0% Services 6.3% 9.1% 10.2%

0.0% Note: The above is GVA growth which is marginally


FY2012-13 FY2013-14 FY2014-15 different from GDP growth

The recovery in FY2014-15 was driven by industrial and services sector performance: industrial growth rebounded to 6.1% from 4.5%
in the earlier year, driven by improvement in manufacturing and utilities (electricity, gas, water supply), while services sector growth
recorded double digit growth, driven by financial services and real estate5. Overall GDP growth in FY2014-15 would have been more
robust had it not been held back by dismal performance recorded in the agriculture sector. Nonetheless, there has been steady
improvement over the last two years and the economy is firmly placed on an improving trajectory.
Note: Earlier in 2015, the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) revised the methodology of computing Indian National Accounts, by
resetting the constant base year to 2011-12 against 2008-09 used earlier - thereby impacting growth numbers. In addition, it has also
changed the basis of measurement of GDP to Gross Value Added (GVA) as against factor cost used earlier. The discussion above
is based on the new series numbers.

Annual Report 2015 65


Inflation eased significantly
India’s inflation, both wholesale (WPI) and retail (CPI), eased significantly during the year. While WPI inflation reduced to 2% in
FY2014-15 from 6% in the previous year, CPI inflation eased to 5.9 percent from 9.5 percent in FY2013-14. This was on account of
a host of factors such as:
• Correction in food prices domestically
• Decline in global price of crude, coal and edible oils
• Moderation in growth rate of wages, which exerted lower pressure on protein-based items
• Tight monetary policy that kept demand under check6
Though these lower numbers have provided some respite, the upside risks to the same necessitate maintaining a strict vigil on the
inflation rate. The still uncertain and volatile external environment, firming crude prices and erratic monsoon all exert upward pressure
on inflation.
External conditions witnessed improvement
India’s current account deficit (CAD) recorded a seven year low of 1.3% of GDP (USD 27.5 billion) against 1.7% (USD 32.4 billion)
in FY2013-14. This was due to lower trade deficit brought about by reduced crude price and lesser gold import. This, accompanied
by higher inflows on capital account, led to a favourable balance of payments of USD 61.4 billion – the highest since FY2007-087.
The rupee also remained depreciated beginning the year with ~60.0 per USD and closing it with ~62.5 per USD in FY2014-158. The
RBI continued to play a balancing act for maintaining rupee value juggling between being buyer and seller of the greenback.
Fiscal deficit remained under control
A host of government measures to contain subsidies enabled containment of fiscal deficit within the target of 4.1%, the actual being
3.99%. Some of the measures undertaken by the government included deregulation of diesel prices, approval of domestic gas pricing
policy, and launch of direct benefit transfer scheme. To continue on its path of fiscal consolidation, the government has set itself a
target of 3.9% for FY2015-16, 3.5% for FY2016-17, and 3% for FY2017-189.
Performance of the financial services sector
Banking and Credit
Credit/Deposit Growth: Despite improved manufacturing and industrial growth, bank credit recorded dismal performance having
grown by a mere 9.5% in FY2014-15, compared to 13.9% in the previous year. This was partially due to substitution of bank credit by
commercial paper that grew by more than 80% to `1,932.7 billion as of March 201510. Improved industrial and infrastructure sector
performance accompanied by auctioning of coal blocks and telecom spectrum are expected to increase bank credit that may grow
between 14-16%.
Bank deposits too witnessed reduced growth: 11.4% against 14.1% in FY2013-14 on account of higher inflation translating into
increased outgo for disposable expenditure and lower savings. Easing inflation is expected to result in higher growth in bank deposits
in FY2015-1611. The Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojna (PMJDY) launched by the Government of India is gaining traction with more
than 147 million new accounts opened under the scheme until the end of FY2014-15, mobilising over `159 billion in deposits12. As the
banking habits of the formerly unbanked population improve, the deposit growth rate is expected to be further bolstered.
Assets: At the end of FY2013-14, assets of scheduled commercial banks stood at `109.6 trillion, and are estimated to have grown by
10-12% during FY2014-15, reflecting the subdued growth in credit and deposits13.

Equity Market

During the year, overall equity market volumes (NSE and BSE combined) increased by 59% to `807 trillion as against
`507 trillion in the earlier year. Market volumes in FY2014-15 were on an increasing trajectory for the first nine months, with a marginal
quarter-on-quarter decrease in the fourth quarter. Institutional investors’ participation increased significantly during the first leg of the
market rally, which was followed by participation from retail investors. Retail investors overall equity volumes increased to `25.9 trillion
as compared to `15.6 trillion in the previous year14.

Insurance

The aggregate new business premium for the life insurance industry recorded de-growth during the year, with total new business
premium decreasing 6.2% year-on-year to `1,131.4 billion in FY2014-15 against `1,201.6 billion in the earlier year15. On the other
hand, the general insurance business recorded reasonable growth, with gross written premium rising by 9.3% to `847.3 billion in
FY2014-15 against `775.4 billion in the earlier year16. Within the general insurance industry, premium income in the health insurance
segment grew faster than the industry overall, recording 16% year-on-year growth to reach `204.4 billion in FY2014-15 against `176.2
billion in FY2013-1417.

Asset management

The asset base of the Indian mutual fund industry (of 44 mutual fund houses) grew by 31% (or nearly `3 trillion) in FY2014-15 to
`11.88 trillion on account of improved sentiment in the equity market, which surged by 25%18. Further, the number of investors grew
substantially in the past fiscal, confirming the broad-based nature of growth.

Outlook

The resurgence of growth witnessed in the recent past holds out the promise of further acceleration if some structural improvements
can be made within the country and the external environment, even if not outright supportive, does not cause any major disruption.
Going forward, the economy is expected to record even higher growth rates of 7.8% and 8.1% in FY2015-16 and FY2016-17
respectively, as per forecasts by Fitch19. Even the OECD20 is of the view that the Indian economy remains strong and stable and will
record more than 7% growth in FY2015-16. The growth rate may edge over to 8% if structural reforms such as land acquisition and
greater flexibility in labour laws are approved and implemented. Goods & Services Tax (GST), if implemented in FY2016-17, is likely
to boost growth further.

The financial services industry is highly correlated to overall economic growth, and as seen from the sectoral split of India’s GDP
growth, it has in fact been a large driver of this growth. The improving GDP growth trajectory is therefore expected to further propel
the financial services industry. While segment-specific conditions and regulatory measures will affect the prospects for individual
segments within the industry, firms with a diversified business model and a cohesive strategy are most likely to gain from the improving
prospects of the industry.

2. Overview of our Business

Strategy and Business Model

India has made significant strides on its path of economic reform over the last two decades, and cyclical fluctuations aside, the
economy is structurally on a high-growth path. This growth, on the one hand, requires large amounts of financing, and on the other
hand, will generate enormous wealth, in the process creating sustained growth opportunities for the financial services industry over a
long period of time. The Religare platform has been designed to capitalise on this multi-decade growth opportunity.

Annual Report 2015 67


Religare Enterprises Limited (REL) seeds and builds businesses across the financial services spectrum with the objective of
generating sustained profitability in the portfolio and creating equity value for REL. Our integrated financial services platform spans
four key verticals of the financial services industry in India – Lending, Capital Markets, Asset Management and Insurance – and
offers a virtually seamless suite of products and services to clients. With a nationwide presence – through more than 1,650 business
locations in over 500 cities and towns – and serving more than 1.1 million clients, Religare enjoys a prominent presence in the Indian
financial services space. Outside India, Religare operates in select strategically important markets, offering institutional equities
and investment banking services through the Capital Markets arm and alternative asset management products through the Asset
Management arm.
Religare Structure
REL is a Core Investment Company registered with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)*. The operating businesses are housed in
subsidiaries and joint ventures and have independent management teams to conduct their day-to-day operations. REL’s role primarily
consists of providing capital to the operating companies, providing stewardship of the brand and group ethos, ensuring that appropriate
governance structures and risk management mechanisms are in place, and monitoring performance of the operating companies.
Risk Monitoring and Mitigation
REL has designed its portfolio such that it is present across the key verticals within the financial services industry (lending, capital
markets, asset management and insurance), serves the entire spectrum of customers (institutional, corporate, SME, HNI, mass affluent,
retail and social/rural) and operates on multiple revenue models (fee-based, balance sheet-led and fiduciary). This diversification in
the portfolio provides balance, reduces volatility and helps minimise risk from excessive concentration in a single product or segment.
The common brand and the integrated nature of our offerings across the platform, supported by the philosophy of putting the customer
first, enables us to withstand the threats from competition and commoditisation of offerings in the industry.
REL has devised a comprehensive framework for risk management and controls for the operating entities. The implementation of
the risk management framework is overseen by the Boards of the respective entities, which have representation from REL. The risk
management framework has been designed to identify, measure, report, monitor and mitigate various risks inherent in the financial
services business and mandates the Risk Management Committee of the respective Boards to monitor such risks. REL has a
centralised Internal Audit function to review and evaluate the efficacy and adequacy of internal control systems, compliance with
operating systems, accounting procedures and policies. The Internal Audit function is carried out by a reputed external firm and the
findings and recommendations are presented to the respective Audit Committees.
Key Subsidiaries and Joint Venture
REL being a Core Investment Company, the businesses are operated out of various subsidiaries and a joint venture (JV). The table

Lending
Our lending business is operated by RFL and its 87.50%-owned subsidiary, RHDFC. RFL is registered with Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) as a non-deposit taking, systemically important Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC-ND-SI). RFL is focused on providing
debt capital to Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to enable them to enhance their productive capacity and throughput – it is amongst
the first NBFCs in India to focus on this segment, having started the business in 2008. India’s SME sector accounts for nearly 45%
of its manufacturing output and approximately 40% of its exports, contributes close to 17% to the nation’s GDP and employs about
73 million people, according to the “Trends in SME Financing” study by CRISIL. Yet, the sector is woefully under-funded, giving RFL,
which has an early-mover advantage in this segment, tremendous headroom for growth.

Offerings
Given its focus on the SME sector, RFL’s offerings have been tailor-made to suit the unique requirements of this sector and comprise:

SME-Secured: RFL’s SME-Secured product enables its customers to obtain loans against their residential or commercial property.
Loans offered under this product may be utilized towards different purposes including business expansion and purchase of plant and
machinery.

SME-Unsecured: This product caters to working capital and other financial requirements of SMEs, self-employed businessmen and
professionals. Loans are granted after an in-depth and detailed financial analysis and credit underwriting of the clients.

70 Religare Enterprises Limited


In addition to its primary focus on lending to SMEs, RFL provides financing against shares and securities, both to retail customers and
to promoters of listed companies against their holdings in their own companies, collectively referred to as Capital Market Lending.
Specifically, RFL offers Loans Against Securities (to retail customers, secured by marketable securities held by them); IPO Financing
(providing liquidity to high net-worth individuals to enable them to subscribe to public offerings of shares); ESOP Financing (granting
loans to salaried individuals against vested stock options and shares allotted on exercise of such options, which is typically facilitated
by the employer); and Promoter Financing (lending to promoters of reputed mid-sized and large corporates against shares held by
them in their companies, as well as other collateral, in order to augment the resources at the disposal of the promoters).

In the past, RFL offered SME Commercial Asset funding for commercial vehicles (new or used) and construction equipment (heavy or
light) segments to priority sector small operators as well as high end strategic operators. This line of business has been discontinued.

Presence in SME clusters

SME units tend to be concentrated in clusters in or around large cities to take advantage of the infrastructure and ancillary services
that are available in such centres. Nearly 80% of the SME financing opportunity in India is concentrated in 25 such clusters and RFL
has systematically built its branch network to cover all these locations – as at March 31, 2015, RFL’s network comprised 28 branches
across 13 states and one Union Territory. In addition, RFL conducts business in clusters that are in proximity of those where it has
a branch using the hub-and-spoke model and in this manner services markets where it does not have a branch presence. RFL
has developed robust and comprehensive infrastructure to ensure that all critical processes – including credit assessment, risk
management, collections and recoveries – are performed in-house and has made substantial investments towards building best-in-
class infrastructure to support its business operations.

Operational Performance

After holding the balance sheet flat two years in a row, during the year, RFL increased disbursement significantly to
`71.56 billion, taking the total loans and advances (net of repayments and assignments) to `144.30 billion as at March 31, 2015 from
`114.85 billion at the end of the earlier year.

A majority of the total disbursements were accounted for by SME-Secured and SME-Unsecured, which saw disbursements of `53.48
billion and `8.94 billion respectively. RFL’s approach of picking credit selectively after a rigorous assessment process has stood it in
good stead: gross non-performing assets (90-day basis) as at March 31, 2015 stood at 2.24% and net non-performing assets (NPAs)
stood at 1.69% – levels that compare very favourably versus the industry. RFL recognises customer accounts as NPAs at 90 days past
due, in a manner similar to banks, which is more stringent than the norm of 180 days past due required of NBFCs by RBI.

Balance Sheet Strength and Credit Ratings

RFL is extremely well-capitalised and has a strong balance sheet: shareholders’ funds as at March 31, 2015 (including retained
earnings) amounted to `23.77 billion and balance sheet size stood at `171.30 billion. As a testament to the strength of RFL’s balance
sheet, short-term debt issued by RFL has received the highest credit rating while RFL’s long-term debt is rated at the equivalent of
‘AA-’. The following table lists the ratings on RFL’s debt as at March 31, 2015:

Rating Type Rating by ICRA† Amount Rating by India Ratings† Amount


(` million) (` million)
Short Term Debt [ICRA] A1+ 10,000
Commercial Paper [ICRA] A1+ 27,000 IND A1+ 30,000
Short Term Bank Loans [ICRA] A1+ 6,000 IND A1+ 30,000
Long Term Debt [ICRA] AA- (stable) 34,000 IND AA- (stable) 15,000
Long Term Bank Loans [ICRA] AA- (stable) 114,000 IND AA- (stable) 100,000
Tier-2 Subordinate Debt IND AA- (stable) 7,500
Market-Linked Debentures pp-MLD [ICRA] AA- 1,000

Additionally, RFL has obtained a Long-Term Rating of ‘CARE AA-’ from CARE† for an amount of `14,000 million.

Annual Report 2015 71



ICRA stands for ICRA Limited (formerly Investment Information and Credit Rating Agency of India Limited), an associate of Moody’s
Investor Services; India Ratings refers to India Ratings and Research Private Limited, a Fitch Group Company; CARE stands for
CARE Ratings Limited (formerly Credit Analysis and Research Limited).

Affordable Housing Finance


RFL’s subsidiary RHDFC is licenced by National Housing Bank (NHB) as a Housing Finance Company (HFC) and has reoriented its
focus to providing loans for acquisition, construction and repair of dwelling units in the affordable housing segment. The “Report on
Trend and Progress of Housing in India, 2013” by NHB estimates a total deficit of 43.9 million dwelling units in rural India and 18.8
million dwelling units in urban India with 95% of the deficit in the urban areas being in the affordable housing segment. This gap
between the demand and supply needs to be closed rapidly if the aspirations of a fast-growing nation are to be met, and has created
an enormous opportunity for funding of affordable housing. The ability to assess the credit-worthiness of potential borrowers is crucial
for succeeding in this segment; robust credit assessment processes position RHDFC extremely well to capitalise on this opportunity.

Adding to its existing distribution network in Delhi NCR and Rajasthan, during the year RHDFC has expanded into three more states
– Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh – geographically contiguous with its existing markets and operates through 14 branches
as at March 31, 2015.

During FY2014-15, RHDFC disbursed loans totalling `2.90 billion in the affordable housing segment, and the corresponding total
loans outstanding as at March 31, 2015 stood at `4.26 billion. While the absolute size of the affordable housing loan book is modest,
RHDFC is gaining critical scale and is set to make a meaningful impact in its target segment.

Capital Markets & Wealth Management


The Capital Markets & Wealth Management vertical comprises the Retail Broking (equity, commodity and currency), Institutional
Equity Broking & Investment Banking, and Wealth Management businesses.
Retail Broking
The Retail Broking business facilitates trading and investment in equities and equity derivatives, currencies and commodities for its
clients and is operated by RSL and its subsidiaries.
Retail Equity Broking: The retail equity broking business is operated by RSL, our wholly owned subsidiary. RSL is a member of
the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE), BSE Limited (BSE, formerly the Bombay Stock Exchange) and Metropolitan
Stock Exchange of India Limited (MSEI) in cash equities, futures & options and currency derivatives segments. In addition, RSL
is a Depository Participant with the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and Central Depository Services (India) Limited
(CDSL) which facilitates smooth settlement of clients’ delivery-based transactions.
Retail Currency Broking: Trading in currency futures and options allows clients to hedge their capital and trading exposures in
currencies other than the Indian rupee. These products are offered by RSL as a member of the currency segment on NSE, BSE and
MSEI. Currently, the exchanges permit futures trading in four currency pairs, viz. US dollar-Indian rupee, Euro-Indian rupee, Pound
Sterling-Indian rupee and Japanese yen-Indian rupee, and options trading in the US dollar-Indian rupee pair.
Retail Commodity Broking: RCL, a wholly owned subsidiary of RSL, is registered with the Forward Markets Commission (FMC) and
is a member of the two major electronic commodities futures exchanges in India, viz., Multi-Commodity Exchange of India Limited
(MCX) and the National Commodities & Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX). Exchange-based trading of futures in various
agricultural products, bullion, metals and oil & gas provides producers, end-users and intermediaries who are exposed to price risks
in these commodities, a platform for locking-in future prices and thereby hedging their exposures. Furthermore, commodities have
emerged as an alternative investment avenue to investors who are willing to deploy their capital in such commodities. RCL has
established a presence in various agricultural markets (‘mandis’) and centres where physical trading in other commodities takes place
in addition to financial centres where investors are concentrated to facilitate hedging of price risks and to provide a convenient means
of investing in an emerging asset class.
Commodities Trading: Religare Comtrade Limited (RCTL, formerly known as Religare Bullion Limited), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of RCL, is engaged in trading of various commodities, both in physical form as well as by way of exchange-traded contracts. RCTL
typically takes offsetting positions in the physical and exchange-traded markets to benefit from differences in prices in the two prices;
operating on a hedged basis, RCTL does not assume price risk.

72 Religare Enterprises Limited


Ancillary Services: RSL is also a TIN (Tax Information Network) and PAN (Income Tax Permanent Account Number) facilitation
partner of NSDL and offers services relating to PAN, TAN, and filing of TDS/TCS (Tax Deduction at Source/Tax Collection at Source)
returns at select branches, to help its customers fulfil their major financial services needs under a single roof. RSL is also empanelled
with Unique Identification Authority of India as an Enrolment Agency for generation of AADHAR, with E-mudra as Registering Authority/
Agent for issuance of Digital Signature Certificate and is an AMFI registered mutual fund distributor. In addition, RSL distributes life
insurance and health insurance products as a corporate agent for AEGON Religare Life Insurance Co. Ltd. and Religare Health
Insurance Co. Ltd. Respectively.
The services of the Retail Broking business are targeted at various categories of non-institutional investors, including high net worth
individuals and family offices, high-volume traders and arbitrageurs, savvy mass affluent investors and occasional investors. To meet
the trading and investing needs of such a diverse set of clients, the business has developed product propositions for every type of
client, ranging from personalised full-service offerings for high net worth individuals to execution-only services that operate without
any face-to-face contact for occasional investors. Religare is the pioneer of building a nation-wide network of branches to reach out
to investors and this continues to remain a major strength: as at March 31, 2015, the physical presence of the Retail Broking business
comprised 1,494 branches, of which 192 are owned branches and 1,302 are Business Partner locations.
Religare has always been at the cutting edge of trading technology. In addition to the “brick-and-mortar” branch channel, the Retail
Broking business provides its clients the ability to trade over the phone (“Call-N-Trade”), on the internet (through its portal www.
religareonline.com) and using feature-rich apps on the leading mobile phone platforms. RSL has entered into tie-ups with various
banks – known as the ‘Bancinvest’ channel – whereby RSL provides online trading facilities to the banks’ customers by integrating RSL’s
trading platform with the banks’ internet banking platform. RSL’s partner banks currently include Andhra Bank, Bank of Maharashtra,
Corporation Bank, Dhanlaxmi Bank Limited, IndusInd Bank Limited, Karur Vysya Bank Limited, South Indian Bank Limited, Tamilnadu
Mercantile Bank Limited, UCO Bank and Union Bank of India, and RSL continues to expand its Bancinvest partnerships.
Operational Performance
The equity market was largely on an upswing during FY2014-15 with trading volumes dipping only in the last quarter of the financial
year. The share of the lower-yielding Futures & Options segment within overall market turnover continued to be high at 89% and the
share of the better-yielding cash equities segment stood at 11%, with adverse implications for blended yields. RSL’s market share
moved in a narrow band during the year and was approximately 1.44% for the year.
The commodities market continued to reel under the impact of the regulatory actions taken earlier and the crisis in one segment of
the market which had affected investor confidence. During FY2014-15, the commodities market turnover was largely flat. However,
RCL continued to focus on providing exceptional services to its clients and maintained its market share at around 3.2% by the last
quarter of the financial year.
Over the last few years, the industry has undergone structural changes and in response to the changing structure of the industry, our
Retail Broking business has altered its operating model to become an asset-light, flexible and predictable business. During the year,
we continued to carry out incremental consolidation of our branches and also re-evaluated a large number of our Business Partner
relationships. Consequently, the number of our owned branches was further reduced to 192 as at March 31, 2015, as against 201
at the end of the earlier year, and the number of Business Partners stood at 1,302 and 1,391 respectively. However, the distribution
footprint has not been compromised and our Retail Broking business continues to be present in 474 cities and towns, and services
over 950,000 unique customers. As a result of moving to a more flexible operating model and the focus on diligent execution of our
strategy, our Retail Broking business has attained structural profitability.
RSL continues to have a strong balance sheet and enjoys the highest short term credit rating of [ICRA] ‘A1+’ for an amount of `9 billion
which denotes very strong degree of safety regarding timely payment of financial obligations which carry lowest credit risk. RCL and
RCTL also enjoy the highest short term credit rating of [ICRA]‘A1+’ for an amount of `0.25 billion and `3 billion respectively.

Wealth Management
Our wealth management business is operated by RWML, a 100% subsidiary of RSL. RWML is an open-architecture, advisory-led
wealth management platform: it seeks to keep clients’ interest first by not exclusively distributing the products of a specific provider
but identifying products that suit the client the best by assessing the client’s needs on an ongoing basis. Right in its formative days,
RWML created a new niche in the wealth management space – between the top-end and the mass market – and continues to focus
on servicing this growing segment.

Annual Report 2015 73


Operational Performance

FY2014-15 was the first full year of RWML after having been fully integrated with the rest of Religare. During the year, RWML leveraged
the capabilities offered by companies across the group, notably institutional equity research, which has helped provide timely and
meaningful inputs to clients. RWML also launched a new offering during the year – ‘RPW Select’, a premium offering consisting of
enhanced services and senior management attention for clients committing assets under management above a certain level.

The capital markets were buoyant through most of the financial year resulting in strong momentum in equity products with significant
mobilization across equity mutual funds and portfolio management schemes. However, change in tax guidelines on debt mutual funds
mid-year dampened fresh allocation to the category. RWML continued to focus on building a concept driven approach in positioning
products to clients, resulting in RWML being able to maintain momentum on both deepening relationships with existing clients and
on-boarding new relationships. The business has increased share of client wallet through holistic portfolio approach and enhanced
engagement through innovative product offerings/ideas. RWML had 4,549 clients and total AUM of `44.0 billion as at March 31, 2015.

Institutional Brokerage & Investment Banking

Our institutional brokerage and investment banking business is operated in India by RCML and overseas by RCML’s subsidiaries
registered in various jurisdictions. RCML has presence in 8 countries in Asia including through partnerships with regional securities
and advisory firms. In India, RCML is registered with NSE as a multiple member in the cash segment and as a ‘Self Clearing and
Trading Member’ in the derivatives segment, and with the BSE as a member in the cash segment. RCML is also registered as a
Category I Merchant Banker with SEBI. RCML’s subsidiaries are registered with or licenced by the local regulators in the jurisdictions
they operate.

RCML provides research and sales & trading services to asset management companies, pension funds, insurance companies,
endowments and hedge funds around the world. RCML’s institutional broking business is empanelled with over 490 clients globally
as at March 31, 2015. RCML’s institutional research team possesses rich experience and provides comprehensive research for
institutional investors in the Indian and Asian markets, covering more than 160 companies in India and Asia. In addition to stock-
specific research, RCML publishes research on investment strategy and economics and also produces thematic reports for its clients.
RCML has lately gained recognition for providing high-level corporate access to its institutional clients and for organising themed
events that help clients gain insight into the functioning of Indian businesses and the Indian economy.

On the investment banking side, RCML has developed strengths in advisory as well as equity/debt capital markets services.
RCML’s capabilities extend to areas such as mergers and acquisitions advisory services, corporate restructuring advisory services,
public equity offerings, convertible bond offerings, institutional placements and private placements. RCML’s investment banking
professionals maintain relationships with businesses, private equity firms, other financial institutions and high net worth individuals
and provide them with corporate finance and investment banking advice.

Operational Performance

RCML was instrumental in concluding a few noteworthy transactions during the year. RCML was the Book Running Lead Manager
on `3.5 billion IPO of Monte Carlo Fashions Limited - which was among the first few IPOs to hit the market during the upswing. This
was an extension of the private equity investment into Monte Carlo Fashions originally arranged by RCML in 2012. In addition, RCML
successfully completed the QIP program of `2 billion for Ashiana Housing Limited and of `4 billion for Sequent Scientific Limited.

Outside India, RCML executed a number of equity capital markets (ECM) and Advisory mandates in the ASEAN region through cutting
edge idea generation, strong global distribution and seamless execution despite challenging markets. RCML completed the SGD 90
million accelerated book-build placement for Soilbuild Business Space REIT, as Joint Placement Agent, which was the first S-REIT
placement on the Singapore Exchange for the year. RCML acted as financial advisor to two stake sales in the ASEAN region: 60%
stake sale of StreetSine Technology Group to Singapore Press Holdings and TPG’s sale of its 17.5% stake in PT BTPN, Indonesia.

Asset Management

The Asset Management vertical comprises India asset management and global asset management services.

74 Religare Enterprises Limited


India Asset Management
Religare Invesco Asset Management Company Pvt. Ltd. (RIAMC), 51% owned by Religare, is the investment manager for the Religare
Invesco Mutual Fund, offering various debt-oriented, equity-oriented, hybrid and fund-of-fund schemes, and exchange-traded funds,
as also discretionary and non-discretionary (advisory) portfolio management services (PMS). During FY2012-13, Religare inducted

Operational Performance

invested in India. As at March 31, 2015, RIAMC had a total of 202,974 active investor folios. Two schemes from Religare Invesco

Global Asset Management
We have established a multi-boutique asset management business that provides investors investment avenues in various alternative
asset classes. We made our initial foray in the alternative asset management space by acquiring two leading alternative asset
managers in the US, subsequently seeded a Business Trust in Singapore and are now in the process of establishing multiple
alternative asset managers in India.
Our wholly-owned step-down subsidiary, Religare Global Asset Management Inc. (RGAM Inc.) is the holding company for asset
managers acquired by Religare in the US and is registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as an
investment advisor. RGAM Inc. has been founded on the strong belief that that several factors are key to success in the alternative
asset management business, including: (a) the ability to offer proven investment capabilities and services of the highest institutional
quality; (b) the alignment of investment strategies and products with macro trends in the industry; (c) a senior management team of
committed professionals with a shared strategic vision and a strong desire to build the franchise; and (d) sufficient equity ownership
and alignment among management to operate as principals and partners of the business, and not as “agents” of the equity owners.
RGAM Inc.’s philosophy as a majority owner of an asset management firm is to be passive with respect to the day-to-day execution
of the investment strategy. RGAM Inc.’s limited involvement in the governance structure for its affiliates is designed to preserve the
autonomous operating nature and unique culture of each affiliate. RGAM Inc. has acquired controlling interests in two US-based
alternative asset managers, viz., Northgate Capital and Landmark Partners.

Northgate Capital: Northgate Capital is a leading provider of ‘customizable’ fund-of-fund investment solutions that allocates investor
capital among a range of high-quality underlying venture capital and private equity funds. In addition to fund-of-fund structures,
Northgate also offers direct investment funds. Founded in 2000, the firm has successfully raised and deployed 22 funds across
developed and emerging markets. Northgate provides its investors with access to those managers and direct company investments
that can be difficult to access or even identify. Northgate capitalizes on its proprietary due diligence process and industry relationships
that have been developed by its senior management team over the past decade. It has offices in San Francisco, London, Hong Kong,
Mexico City and New Delhi. Northgate manages approximately USD 4.4 billion of committed assets on behalf of institutional and high
net worth investors.

Landmark Partners: Landmark Partners is a leading global alternative investment management firm specializing in the acquisition
of private equity and real estate limited partnership interests in the secondary market. Founded in 1989, Landmark has formed 29
funds focused on venture capital, buyout, mezzanine and real estate limited partnership interests. These funds have been deployed
across 1,700 partnership interests that comprise 16,000 underlying company and property interests. The partners have an average of
15 years at the firm, a cumulative 183 years working together. Landmark was recognized by Private Equity International as the North
American Secondary Firm of the Year five years running – from 2009 to 2013. In addition, Landmark was recognized by PERE as the
North American Real Estate Fund-of-Funds/Secondary Firm of the Year for 2011. The firm is headquartered in Simsbury, Connecticut
with offices in Boston, Massachusetts and London. Landmark manages approximately USD 15.1 billion of committed assets primarily
on behalf of institutional investors.

Annual Report 2015 75


During the year, Landmark Capital concluded the process of raising its next set of funds which has met with great success and added
substantially to the quantum of assets under management.

In addition to majority ownership of Northgate and Landmark, RGAM Inc. holds a strategic 40% equity stake in Investment Professionals
Limited (IPRO), Mauritius. Established in 1992, IPRO is regulated by the Financial Services Commission (Mauritius) and is today a
leading investment and portfolio manager on the island with over USD 340 million in AUM. IPRO has significant investment interests
in Sub-Saharan Africa which have been augmented through its office in Botswana.
We promoted Religare Health Trust Trustee Manager Pte Limited (RHTTM), which is the Trustee Manager of the Religare Health
Trust (RHT), a Business Trust that was listed on Singapore Stock Exchange in October 2012 through an IPO. RHT is mandated to
invest in medical and healthcare infrastructure assets and services in Asia, Australia and emerging markets in the rest of the world
and as at March 31, 2015, had total assets of approx. SGD 766 million (USD 558 million) as against SGD 705 million at the end of
the earlier year.
With a view to establishing a presence in the alternative assets space domestically in India, we are promoting new asset managers that
will develop various categories of alternative investment products. The first of such products was the Religare Credit Opportunities
Fund, a SEBI-registered Category-II Alternative Investment Fund (AIF), which was launched for subscription around the end of last
financial year. This fund is managed by Religare Credit Advisors LLP, a wholly-owned step-down subsidiary of REL. We are in the
process of developing more such products for the Indian market. To that end, during the last quarter of the financial year, we acquired
26% stake in YourNest Capital Advisors Pvt. Ltd., which manages the YourNest Angel Fund, an early stage venture capital fund.
Insurance
Health Insurance
Religare Health Insurance Company Limited (RHICL) is our subsidiary that is licenced by the Insurance Regulatory and Development
Authority of India (IRDA) to offer health insurance and related products. Two leading public sector banks, viz., Corporation Bank
and Union Bank of India, are co-promoters in this venture holding 5% equity each. RHICL has been formed to capitalise on the
vast opportunity in the health insurance space in India, stemming from low insurance penetration (high proportion of out-of-pocket
expenditure by patients) coupled with the fast rising cost of medical treatment.
RHICL launched its products in July 2012 and totally has 8 approved products spanning retail health, group health, excess of loss,
maternity, travel insurance, personal accident and critical illness policies and various riders. RHICL is developing a multi-channel
distribution model with a view to building a balanced revenue contribution from the direct, agency, bank and alternate channels.
Designing innovative products to address unmet customer needs and providing superior customer service experience have been
the key tenets of doing business for RHICL: besides enabling this through a state-of-the-art technology platform that RHICL has
developed, RHICL has since inception managed claims for all retail policies in-house as the claims experience is the chief determinant
of the customer’s perception of the insurer.
Operational Performance
FY2014-15 was the second full year of operations for RHICL and it garnered Gross Written Premium of `2,758 million during the year
as against `1,523 million in FY2013-14, representing growth of 81%. RHICL crossed the `1 billion GWP mark in the last quarter of
the financial year. As at March 31, 2015, RHICL covered around 2.7 million lives through its individual and group health products,
and mass insurance schemes. Over 4,400 hospitals have been enrolled for providing cashless treatment to the insured. RHICL has
established a pan-India distribution network of 46 offices. RHICL’s operational processes have stabilised, and despite the recent
vintage of the business, the ratio of claims on earned premium for FY2014-15 stood at around 61%, indicating that even at the current
scale, the business being underwritten is of good quality. During the year, RHICL launched three new products, including ‘Explore’
(overseas travel insurance), ‘Secure’ (individual personal accident insurance) and ‘Joy’, one of its kind maternity and new born cover.
Life Insurance
We operate our life insurance business through AEGON Religare Life Insurance Company Limited (ARLIC), a joint venture with
AEGON N.V. REL and AEGON own 44% and 26% equity respectively in ARLIC and Bennett, Coleman & Company Limited (BCCL)
is also an investor in the venture.

76 Religare Enterprises Limited


ARLIC is a provider of insurance and pension products licensed by IRDA and offers a variety of traditional products (including non-
participating individual plans, participating individual plans, participating pension plan, health plans and group plans) and unit-linked
products (including unit-linked life plans and unit-linked group gratuity plan). ARLIC operates through multiple distribution channels
– agency, alternate, and direct – and has been a pioneer of direct online distribution in India, an area in which it has gained much
recognition.

During the year, we undertook a strategic review of the joint venture and found that changes in regulations have altered the expected
return profile of the business in its current form such that they no longer meet our return expectations. Based on this assessment,
we have expressed our desire to exit the venture. On May 8, 2015, we entered into a definitive agreement with BCCL to acquire our
entire stake in the joint venture. The proposed transaction is subject to regulatory approvals.

Operational Performance
ARLIC crossed total premium income of `5 billion and sold over 65,000 new policies during FY2014-15, taking the cumulative number
of lives covered since inception to around 383,000. As at March 31, 2015, ARLIC has a pan-India distribution network with presence
in 54 locations across 22 states of India. During the year, ARLIC launched several innovative products, including the ‘AEGON
Religare iMaximize’ plan, an online unit linked product with zero allocation charges, and ‘AEGON Religare Premier Endowment
Insurance’ plan, a traditional participating plan which guarantees annual increase in sum assured.

Note: REL, RCML and RHC Holding Pvt. Ltd. (a Promoter Group company) have entered into a tripartite agreement that places
severe long term restrictions on RCML, significantly impairing its ability to transfer funds to REL. Owing to this restriction RCML’s
consolidated financial statements have been excluded from REL’s consolidated financial statements since October 1, 2011.

Our income from operations was `41,045.82 million for the FY2014-15, as compared to `33,438.01 million for the FY2013-14,

as compared to Loss for FY2013-14 of `692.94 million. Consequently, we reported basic profit per share of `8.56 in FY2014-15 as
against basic loss per share of `5.20 in FY2013-14. The growth in income from operations and improvement in profitability have been
contributed by the underlying performance of the various segments and have been analysed below.

management fees received under our asset management services, income from insurance premium, commissions from securities

Over the years, the Human Resource function has focused on building a meritocratic culture where high performance is suitably
rewarded and our strong belief in people being key differentiators has helped us in achieving business objectives with a stable
middle and top management team. This year we focused on creating synergies within the organisation at all levels. Group wide

employee morale, celebrate successes and retain employees have been the key delivery areas. Governance across management
levels including the Boards of our subsidiaries has also been an area of unwavering focus.

Your company has been successful in attracting high quality talent through multiple channels (employee referrals, recruitment
agencies, job portal, social networking sites, train and hire model and premier campuses) and a rigorous selection process is followed
for hiring, especially at the leadership level. As at March 31, 2015, we had a team of 5,824 dedicated professionals across our
operating subsidiaries and joint ventures. The organisation has a robust performance management system to facilitate goal setting
and mid-term as well as annual appraisal process for each and every employee based on the Balance Scorecard approach on the
online HR system. We have also created a strong bench for leadership roles in the organisation through mentoring, job rotation and
challenging assignments and are thus able to fulfil leadership positions from within the group by elevating high performers to take up
new roles. Adherence to various HR policies, alignment to organizational culture and values and efficacy of organisation structure
across businesses are monitored and supported by the group HR leadership for superior business performance and higher employee
engagement and satisfaction levels. Our continuous attempt has been to provide employees with challenging roles, opportunities for
learning and growth, an enabling work environment, relevant training and performance support through various existing and new HR

year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the reporting year.
For the purpose of calculating Diluted earnings per share the net profit / loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders and weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting year is adjusted for the effects
of all dilutive potential equity shares. In considering whether potential equity shares are dilutive or antidilutive, each
issue or series of potential equity shares is considered separately rather than in aggregate.

Notes Forming Part of the Financial Statements
For the year ended March 31, 2015

15.1 Pursuant to clause 18.2 of the original JV agreement with Aegon India Holding N.V. (“Aegon”), the company has complied with
the initial Capital Contribution requirement and during the year has expressed its desire to exit the JV. As per the restated JV
agreement entered between Aegon and the Company in August 2014 and Share Purchase Agreement entered into between
Bennett, Coleman & Co. Limited (BCCL) subsequent to the Balance Sheet Date i.e. on May 08, 2015, the Company has agreed
to transfer its entire holding in the JV to BCCL in compliance with the aforesaid agreements and subject to various regulatory
approvals. The necessary applications for approvals from IRDAI, FIPB, and CCI have been made by the JV Company and
awaiting relevant approvals. Pursuant to the aforesaid agreement, the Company has received a part advance from Aegon
towards their capital protection with minimum compounded return against the proposed future transfer of shares in the JV
Company. The value of the Bank Guarantee has been reduced to the extent of such advance received. The funds received
have been partly utilized for early redemption of NCDs issued by the company and release of securities i.e. receivables from
Aegon, including aforesaid bank guarantee. The Bank Guarantee has been reassigned in favour of the Company for a reduced
value as aforesaid.
The Company has appointed a financial advisor in connection with the proposed sale as aforesaid. Upfront fee paid till date
has been accounted for as an ‘Advance’ pending transfer of shares to the prospective purchaser as per the terms of the Share
Purchase Agreement.
In terms of restated JV agreement pending transfer of shares, the parties have given commitment to contribute incremental
capital in JV company, if called for, subject to the conditions stated therein. The company has made an additional investment
of `132 lacs (out of `17,292 lacs) during the year and committed liabilitiy have been reducted by said amount. Since a part
advance is received and for the balance amount the guarantee is in force, no provision for diminution in the value of the said
long term investment has been made. Accordingly, the capital gains will be recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss on
completion of transfer of shares to the third party after obtaining necessary regulatory approvals.
15.2 Pursuant to the High Court vide order dated March 23, 2015, RCML filed the certified copy of the order with ROC which got
registered on 08 May 2015 and accordingly the reduction of shares capital became effective from May 08, 2015. Since the
company has already impaired the investment held in such preference share capital in previous years, there will be no impact
on the Statement of Profit and Loss.
15.3 During the year ended March 31, 2015, the Investment & Borrowing Committee (“Committee”) of the company has sanctioned
for conversion of Non Convertible Preference Shares of RGAM Investment Advisers Private Limited (excluding 10,650,000
0.01% Non-Convertible Preference Shares) to optionally convertible preference shares and thereby equity shares.

For the year ended March 31, 2015

f. During the year ended March 31, 2012 Religare Finvest Limited (RFL), one of the subsidiaries of the company,
has raised `150 Cr and `200 Cr from Avigo Investments Limited, Mauritius and Nylim Jacobs Ballas India Fund
III, LLC respectively through compulsory convertible preference shares, the conversion of which is linked to the
performance of the said subsidiary for the financial year 2013. Pursuant to the tripartite agreement, REL has given
assurance to compensate shortfall in Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 14% p.a. subject to the terms of agreement.
In the opinion of the management of the company, the probability of any liability towards the said assurance is remote
considering the track record of financial results, distribution of profits, networth of RFL and the value of shares based
on the similar issues in the prior years which justifies higher IRR than 14% on exit of the said investors. Accordingly,
management of the company is not anticipating any future liability on this assurance.

g. The Company operates in only one business segment and one geographical segment and hence segment information
is not required as per Accounting Standard -17.
