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)
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)

services spectrum. Our portfolio companies today operate across four verticals and collectively cover almost every sub-
vertical within financial services:

(i) The ratio of the remuneration of each director to the median remuneration of the employees of the Company for
the financial year:
(ii) The percentage increase in remuneration of each director, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer,

`60,168.5 million as at March 31, 2015. Evaluation of the price to earnings ratio is not meaningful as the Company reported
negative earnings per share on a standalone basis for the years ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015. The Religare
Enterprises Limited stock price as at March 31, 2015 was `337.40/- per share (as quoted on the National Stock Exchange),

(xii) Affirmation that the remuneration is as per the remuneration policy of the company: It is hereby affirmed that the remuneration
paid is as per the Remuneration Policy for Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and other Employees.
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.

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.
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.

Insurance Company Limited
(ARLIC)
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.
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.
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.
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:
Additionally, RFL has obtained a Long-Term Rating of ‘CARE AA-’ from CARE† for an amount of `14,000 million.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

a. Classification of Loans and Advances and provision for Non-Performing Assets/ Provision for dimunition of Investments
Other than Long Term has been made in accordance with the NBFC Directions after considering subsequent recoveries
and realizable value of investments respectively. Provision for Long Term Investment is made as per Accounting
Standard (AS) -13, “Accounting for Investments” of Institute of Chartered Accountant of India (ICAI).
The classification of loans into standard, sub-standard and loss assets and investments have been disclosed at gross
value and the corresponding provision against non-performing assets/ investments has been included under provisions
in accordance with NBFC Directions.
b. There are no transactions during the year with Micro, Small and Medium enterprises and as such there is no balance
outstanding as at March 31, 2015
c. During the financial year ended March 31, 2012, the Company had paid remuneration to Chairman and Managing
Director (“CMD”) in excess of the limits prescribed under section 198 read with Schedule XIII by `76,061,538 as per the
terms of agreement pending approval of Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). The Company has reversed the excess
remuneration in the previous year and subsequently recovered the said amount. During the year ended March 31,
2015, the company has received an approval from MCA amounting to `12,730,000 which has been paid and charged
to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
d. The provision for Income Tax for year ended March 31, 2015 has been made on an estimated basis in accordance
with the provision of Income Tax Act, 1961 of India. No provision has been made for Corporate Dividend Tax in view of
Exemption u/s 115-O of Income Tax Act, 1961.
An asset or a liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a. it is expected to be realized / settled, or is intended for sale or consumption, in the Company’s normal operating
cycle; or
c. it is expected to be realized / due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date; or
d. it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least
twelve months after the reporting date; or
e. the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after
the reporting date.
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.
