Disruption Event. The Valuation Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, notify the Registered

not a Scheduled Trading Day then, as per Modified Following Business Day Convention or if the day which

Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
(a) on or prior to any Observation Date or any other relevant date, the Sponsor announces that it will
make a material change in the formula for or the method of calculating the Reference Index or in any
other way materially modifies the Reference Index (other than a modification prescribed in that formula

level of the Reference Index for that Observation Date shall be the level of the Reference Index as so
corrected.

Redemption Event for Extraordinary Reason as referred to in the Terms and Conditions above and
accordingly consequent early redemption of the Debentures by the Company if so elected for by the
Company.

adjustment;
(b) Upon the occurrence of a Disruption Event, the Company shall give notice as soon as practicable to the
Registered Debenture Holders stating the occurrence of the Disruption Event, giving details thereof and
the action proposed to be taken in relation thereto, provided that any failure to give, or non-receipt of,
such notice will not affect the validity of the Disruption Event.
Standard Risk Factors related to the Reference Index/Portfolio Investment in mutual fund units involves
investment risks such as trading volumes, settlement risk, liquidity risk, Default risk, including the possible
loss of principal. As the price / value / interest rates of the securities in which the Scheme invest
fluctuates, the value of the Investment in the Scheme may go up or down. In addition to the factors that
affect the value of individual investments in the Scheme, the Net Asset Value (“NAV “) of the Scheme can
be expected to fluctuate with movements in the broader equity and bond markets and may be influenced
by factors affecting capital and money markets in general, such as, but not limited to, changes in interest
rates, currency exchange rates, changes in Governmental policies, taxation, political, economic or other
developments and increased volatility in the stock and bond markets. Past performance of the
Sponsor/AMC/Mutual Fund does not guarantee future performance of the Scheme. The name of the
Scheme does not in any manner indicate either the quality of the Scheme or its future prospects and

returns. The Reference Index/portfolio constitutes of 4 identified Mutual Fund scheme hence, scheme
specific risk factors of such Underlying Schemes will be applicable. All risks associated with Underlying
Schemes, including performance of their underlying stocks, derivative instruments, stock-lending, and off-
shore investments etc., will therefore be applicable in the case of the Scheme. Investors who intend to
invest in the Scheme are required to and deemed to have understood the risk factors of the Underlying
Schemes.
The investors should refer to the Scheme Information Documents and the related addenda for the scheme
specific risk factors and special consideration of the respective Underlying Schemes.
The Underlying Funds may suspend or restrict the purchase/redemption of units due to occurrence of
certain events as specified in the respective Scheme Information Document. The Issuer at it sole discretion
may change a scheme or change the allocation to the existing scheme if such an event occurs.
The Net Asset Value (NAV) of the Scheme(s), to the extent invested in Debt and Money Market
instruments, will be affected by changes in the general level of interest rates. The NAV of the Scheme(s) is
expected to increase from a fall in interest rates while it would be adversely affected by an increase in the
level of interest rates. Money market instruments, while fairly liquid, lack a well-developed secondary
market, which may restrict the selling ability of the Scheme(s) and may lead to the Scheme(s) incurring
losses till the security is finally sold.
Investments in money market instruments involve credit risk commensurate with short term rating of the
issuers.
Investment in Debt instruments are subject to varying degree of credit risk or default risk (i.e. the risk of
an issuer's inability to meet interest and principal payments on its obligations) or any other issues, which
may have their credit ratings downgraded. Changes in financial conditions of an issuer, changes in
economic and political conditions in general, or changes in economic and/ or political conditions specific
to an issuer, all of which are factors that may have an adverse impact on an issuer's credit quality and
security values. This may increase the risk of the portfolio. The Investment Manager will endeavor to
manage credit risk through inhouse credit analysis.
Government securities where a fixed return is offered run price-risk like any other fixed income security.
Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall and when interest rates drop, the
prices increase. The extent of fall or rise in the prices is a function of the existing coupon, days to maturity
and the increase or decrease in the level of interest rates. The new level of interest rate is determined by
the rates at which government raises new money and/or the price levels at which the market is already
dealing in existing securities. The price-risk is not unique to Government Securities. It exists for all fixed
income securities. However, Government Securities are unique in the sense that their credit risk generally
remains zero. Therefore, their prices are influenced only by movement in interest rates in the financial
system.
Different types of fixed income securities in which the Scheme(s) would invest as given in the Scheme
Information Document carry different levels and types of risk. Accordingly, the Scheme(s) risk may
increase or decrease depending upon its investment pattern. e.g. corporate bonds carry a higher level of
risk than Government securities. Further even among corporate bonds, AAA rated bonds, are
comparatively less risky than AA rated bonds.

The AMC may, considering the overall level of risk of the portfolio, invest in lower rated / unrated
securities offering higher yields as well as zero coupon securities that offer attractive yields. This may
increase the absolute level of risk of the portfolio.
The AMC may choose to invest in zero coupon securities that offer attractive yields. This may increase the
risk of the portfolio. Zero coupon or deep discount bonds are debt obligations that do not entitle the
holder to any periodic payment of interest prior to maturity or a specified date when the securities begin
paying current interest and therefore, are generally issued and traded at a discount to their face values.
The discount depends on the time remaining until maturity or the date when securities begin paying
current interest. It also varies depending on the prevailing interest rates, liquidity of the security and the
perceived credit risk of the Issuer. The market prices of zero coupon securities are generally more volatile
than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically. As zero coupon securities do not
provide periodic interest payments to the holder of the security, these securities are more sensitive to
changes in interest rates and are subject to issuer default risk. Therefore, the interest rate risk of zero
coupon securities is higher.
• Prepayment Risk: Certain fixed income securities give an issuer the right to call back its securities before
their maturity date, in periods of declining interest rates. The possibility of such prepayment may force
the Scheme to reinvest the proceeds of such investments in securities offering lower yields, resulting in
lower interest income for the fund.
• Reinvestment Risk: This risk refers to the interest rate levels at which cash flows received from the
securities in the Schemes are reinvested. The additional income from reinvestment is the "interest on
interest" component. The risk is that the rate at which interim cash flows can be reinvested may be lower
than that originally assumed.
• Settlement Risk: Different segments of Indian financial markets have different settlement periods and
such periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances. Delays or other problems in
settlement of transactions could result in temporary periods when the assets of the Scheme are
uninvested and no return is earned thereon. The inability of the Scheme to make intended securities
purchases, due to settlement problems, could cause the Scheme to miss certain investment opportunities.
Similarly, the inability to sell securities held in the Scheme’s portfolio, due to the absence of a well-
developed and liquid secondary market for debt securities, may result at times in potential losses to the
Scheme in the event of a subsequent decline in the value of securities held in the Scheme's portfolio.
• The Scheme(s) at times may receive large number of redemption requests, leading to an asset liability
mismatch and therefore, requiring the investment manager to make a distress sale of the securities
leading to realignment of the portfolio and consequently resulting in investment in lower yield
instruments.
• Trading volumes, settlement periods and transfer procedures may restrict the liquidity of the
investments made by the Scheme(s). Different segments of the Indian financial markets have different
settlement periods and such periods may be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances leading
to delays in receipt of proceeds from sale of securities. The NAV of the Units of the Scheme(s) can go up or
down because of various factors that affect the capital markets in general.
• As the liquidity of the investments made by the Scheme(s) could, at times, be restricted by trading
13
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
volumes and settlement periods, the time taken by the Mutual Fund for redemption of Units may be
significant in the event of an inordinately large number of redemption requests or restructuring of the
Scheme(s). In view of the above, the Trustee has the right, in its sole discretion, to limit redemptions
(including suspending redemptions) under certain circumstances, as described under "Right to Limit
Redemptions" in Section 'Restrictions, if any, on the right to freely retain or dispose of units being offered'
mentioned in SID.
• At times, due to the forces and factors affecting the capital market, the Scheme(s) may not be able to
invest in securities falling within its investment objective resulting in holding the monies collected by it in
cash or cash equivalent or invest the same in other permissible securities / investments amounting to
substantial reduction in the earning capability of the Scheme(s). The Scheme(s) may retain certain
investments in cash or cash equivalents for its day-to-day liquidity requirements.
• Securities, which are not quoted on the stock exchanges, are inherently illiquid in nature and carry a
larger amount of liquidity risk, in comparison to securities that are listed on the exchanges or offer other
exit options to the investor, including a put option. The AMC may choose to invest in unlisted securities
that offer attractive returns. This may increase the risk of the portfolio.
• Investment strategy to be adopted by the Scheme(s) may carry the risk of significant variance between
the portfolio allocation of the Scheme(s) and the Benchmark particularly over a short to medium term
period.
• Performance of the Scheme may be affected by political, social, and economic developments, which
may include changes in government policies, diplomatic conditions, and taxation policies.
Although the principal value on the debentures is protected on maturity, the investment return on the
debentures is linked to the performance of the underlying Nifty 50 Index.
An investor in the debenture will not be entitled to receiving any interest payments and/or dividends
and/or other distributions in the constituent stocks of the Nifty 50 index during the term of the
debenture.
Even though the investment return on the debentures is linked to the Nifty 50 index the return on the
debentures may not reflect the return an investor may realize if the investor was to actually own each of
the constituent stocks comprising the Nifty 50 index. Further, the debenture holders will have no
ownership rights on the constituent stocks of the Nifty 50 index.
Risk Factors: An investment in this type of security involves a certain degree of risk. The investor should
carefully consider all the information contained in this disclosure document, including the risks and
uncertainties described below, before making an investment decision. The risk factors set forth below do
not purport to be complete or comprehensive in terms of all the risks that may arise in connection with
our business or any decision to purchase, own or dispose of the Debentures. The following risk factors are
determined on the basis of their materiality. In determining the materiality of risk factors, we have
considered risks which may not be material individually but may be material when considered collectively,
which may have a qualitative impact though not quantitative, which may not be material at present but
may have a material impact in the future.

Structure Risks
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE ADVISED TO CAREFULLY READ THESE KEY RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
DEBENTURES. THESE RISKS ARE NOT, AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE, A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL RISKS AND
CONSIDERATIONS RELEVANT TO THE DEBENTURES OR YOUR DECISION TO PURCHASE THE DEBENTURES.
The Debentures being structured debentures are sophisticated instruments which involve a significant
degree of risk and are intended for sale only to those Investors capable of understanding the risks
involved in such instruments. Please note that both the return on the Debentures and the return of the
principal amount in full are at risk if the Debentures are not held till, or for any reason have to be sold or
redeemed, before the final Redemption Date. The Debentures are a principal protected product only upon
maturity. The Debentures are structured and are complex and an investment in such a structured product
may involve a higher risk of loss of a part of the initial investment as compared to investment in other
securities unless held till final Redemption Date. The Registered Debenture Holder shall receive at least
the face value of the Debenture only if the Investor holds and is able to hold the Debentures till the final
Redemption Date. Prior to investing in the Debentures, a prospective Investor should ensure that such
prospective Investor understands the nature of all the risks associated with the investment in order to
determine whether the investment is suitable for such prospective Investor in light of such prospective
Investor’s experience, objectives, financial position and other relevant circumstances. Prospective
Investors should independently consult with their legal, regulatory, tax, financial and/or accounting
advisors to the extent the prospective Investor considers necessary in order to make their own investment
decisions. An investment in Debentures where the payment of premium (if any), and/or coupon and/or
other consideration (if any) payable or deliverable thereon is determined by reference to one or more
equity or debt securities, indices, baskets, formulas or other assets or basis of reference will entail
significant risks not associated with a conventional fixed rate or floating rate debt security. Such risks
include, without limitation, changes in the level or value of the relevant underlying equity or debt
securities or basket or index or indices of equity or debt securities or other underlying asset or basis of
reference and the holder of the Debentures may receive a lower (or no) amount of premium, coupon or
other consideration than the holder expected. The Company has no control over a number of matters that
are important in determining the existence, magnitude and longevity of such risks and their results,
including, but not limited to, economic, financial and political events. In addition, if an index or formula
used to determine any amounts payable or deliverable in respect of the Debentures contains a multiplier
or leverage factor, the effect of any change in such index or formula will be magnified. In recent times, the
values of certain indices, baskets and formulas have been volatile and volatility in those and other indices,
baskets and formulas may occur in the future.
Product related risk factors: The composition of the securities underlying the Reference Index to which a
Debenture may be linked may change over time The composition of the constituents of the Reference
Index to which the Debentures are linked may change over time. The Reference Index sponsor may, in its
sole discretion, add, delete or substitute the securities underlying the index or make other methodological
changes required by certain corporate events relating to the securities underlying the Reference Index
that could change the value of the index. There may be additions to the securities in Reference Index to
which the Registered Debenture Holders may not want exposure, or deletions of securities to which they
would want exposure. The Registered Debenture Holders should not place undue reliance on the
creditworthiness, business plans or prospects or other factors relating to any particular issuer of
constituents of Reference Index as of the date hereof.
(b) Disclaimer in relation to Valuation the Issuer has appointed a Valuation Agent. Any valuations as may
be provided by the Valuation Agent, on the website of the Issuer and the Valuation Agent or otherwise, do
15
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
not represent the actual price of the Debentures that may be received upon sale or redemption of
Debentures. They merely represent the Valuation Agent’s computation of the valuation which may in turn
be based on several assumptions. The valuation will reflect the independent views of the Valuation Agent.
It is expressly stated that the valuation will not be the view of the Issuer or its affiliates. The Issuer will not
review the valuation and will not be responsible for the accuracy of the valuations. The valuations that will
be provided by the Valuation Agent and made available on the website of the Issuer and the Valuation
Agent, at a frequency of not less than once a calendar week, and the said valuation will not represent the
actual price that may be received upon sale or redemption of the Debentures. It will merely represent the
Valuation Agent’s computation of the valuation which may in turn be based on several assumptions. The
valuations that will be provided by the Valuation Agent may include the use of proprietary models (that
are different from the proprietary models used by the Issuer and/or the Valuation agent) and
consequently, valuations provided by other parties (including the Issuer and/or the Valuation agent) may
be significantly different.
An investment in any series of Debentures that has payments of principal, coupon or both, indexed to the
value of any equity share, index or any other rate, asset or index, or a basket including one or more of the
foregoing and /or to the number of observation of such value falling within or outside a pre-stipulated
range (each of the foregoing, a “Reference Value”) will entail significant risks not associated with a
conventional fixed rate or floating rate debt security. Such risks include, without limitation, changes in the
applicable Reference Value and how such changes will impact the amount of any principal or coupon
payments linked to the applicable Reference Value. The Company has no control over a number of
matters that are important in determining the existence, magnitude and longevity of such risks and their
results, including economic, financial and political events. Past performance of any Reference Value to
which any principal or coupon payments may be linked is not necessarily indicative of future performance.
Investors should be aware that a Reference Value may go down as well as up and/or be volatile and the
resulting impact such changes will have on the amount of any principal or coupon payments will depend
on the applicable index formula. The Registered Debenture Holder shall receive at least the face value of
the Debenture only if the Investor holds and is able to hold the Debentures and the Debentures are not
sold or redeemed or bought back till the Final Maturity Date.
If so specified, the early redemption amount, if any, may in certain circumstances be determined by the
Valuation Agent based upon the market value of the Debentures less any costs associated with unwinding
any hedge positions relating to the particular series of Debentures. In the event the terms and conditions
do not provide for a minimum redemption amount even in the event of an early redemption, then on such
occurrence a holder may receive less than 100.00% of the principal amount. In case of principal/capital
protected market linked debentures, the principal amount is subject to the credit risk of the Issuer
whereby the Registered Debenture Holder may or may not recover all or part of the funds in case of
default by the Issuer. However, if the Debentures are held till the final maturity date, subject to credit risk
of the Issuer, the Registered Debenture Holder of the Debenture will receive at least the principal amount.
The Debentures are likely to be less liquid than conventional fixed or floating rate debt instruments. No
representation will be made as to the existence of a market for a series of Debentures. While the
Company intends under ordinary market conditions to indicate and/or procure indication of prices for any
such Debentures there can be no assurance as to the prices that would be indicated or that the Company
will offer and/or cause to purchase any Debentures. The price given, if any, will be affected by many
factors including, but not limited to, the remaining term and outstanding principal amount of the
16
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
particular series of Debentures, the level of the Reference Value, fluctuations in interest rates and/or in
exchange rates, volatility in the Reference Value used to calculate the amount of any coupon or principal
payments, and credit spreads. Consequently, prospective Investors must be prepared to hold any series of
Debentures for an indefinite period of time or until the redemption or maturity of the Debentures.
Trading levels of any Debentures will be influenced by, among other things, the relative level and
performance of the applicable Reference Value and the factors described above.
No Claim against reference asset Registered Debenture Holders do not have any interest in or rights to
the underlying assets, indices or securities to which Debentures relate.
The following are the risks envisaged by the management. Potential investors should consider these risk
factors carefully for evaluating the trading or profitability of the Company and its business before making
any investment decision. Unless the context requires otherwise, the risk factors described below apply to
the Company only.
The Investors must rely on their own examination and investigation of the Company and its business, their
promoters, associate companies and the Issue including the risks and uncertainties involved.
The Company and its business are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, internal as well as
external, and could materially affect the performance of the Company. The following are some of the
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations:
We deal with higher risk clients and provide unsecured loans. Hence our business is exposed to risk of
NPAs.
The majority of our loans are unsecured and the clients of these unsecured loans are of the high risk
category and if we are unable to control the level of non-performing loans (“NPAs”) in the future, or if our
loan loss reserves are insufficient to cover future loan losses, our financial condition and results of
operations may be materially and adversely affected.)
A majority of our loans are unsecured and the clients of these unsecured loans are of the high risk
category. There is uncertainty on the client’s ability to fulfil its loan obligations as MFI clients typically do
not have bank accounts or proper income proof verification so it can be difficult to verify all client details
and assess the risk. Such non-performing or low credit quality loans can negatively impact our results of
operations.
The Issuer has various procedures and process controls in place to mitigate the risk. All group lending
loans are provided under the Grameen Model and based on the joint liability of the group.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively control and reduce the level of the impaired loans
in our total loan portfolio. The amount of our reported NPAs may increase in the future as a result of
growth in our total loan portfolio, and also due to factors beyond our control, such as over -extended
member credit that we are unaware of. If we are unable to manage our NPAs or adequately recover our
loans, our results of operations will be adversely affected.
Our current loan loss reserves may not be adequate to cover an increase in the amount of NPAs or any
future deterioration in the overall credit quality of our total loan portfolio. As a result, if the quality of our
17
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
total loan portfolio deteriorates we may be required to increase our loan loss reserves, which will
adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our customers/borrowers are poor and,
as a result, might be vulnerable if economic conditions worsen or growth rates decelerate in India, or if
there are natural disasters such as floods and droughts in areas where our customers live. Moreover,
there is no precise method for predicting loan and credit losses, and we cannot assure you that our
monitoring and risk management procedures will effectively predict such losses or that loan loss reserves
will be sufficient to cover actual losses. If we are unable to control or reduce the level of our NPAs or poor
credit quality loans, our financial condition and results of our operations could be materially and adversely
affected.
Further, while we believe that our security interests are perfected and legally enforceable, they might not
be deemed as such in an Indian court.
Our business operates through a large number of rural and semi urban branches and is exposed to
operational risks including fraud
We are exposed to operational risks, including fraud, petty theft and embezzlement, as we handle a large
amount of cash due to high volume of small transactions. This could harm our operations and our financial
position
As we handle a large amount of cash through a high volume of small transactions taking place in our
network, we are exposed to the risk of fraud or other misconduct by employees or outsiders. These risks
are further compounded due to the high level of delegation of power and responsibilities our business
model requires. Given the high volume of transactions processed by us, certain instances of fraud and
misconduct may go unnoticed before they are discovered and successfully rectified. Even when we
discover such instances of fraud or theft and pursue them to the full extent of the law or with our
insurance carriers, there can be no assurance that we will recover any such amounts. In addition, our
dependence upon automated systems to record and process transactions may further increase the risk
that technical system flaws or employee tampering or manipulation of those systems will result in losses
that are difficult to detect.
To mitigate the above risk, we maintain an internal audit process to ensure the operations team follows
the defined procedures and reports any deviations to the operations staff and management team. We
also have a MIS system able to generate data analysis that can be used to monitor financial and
operational performance.
Loans due within two years’ account for almost all of our interest income, and a significant reduction in
short term loans may result in a corresponding decrease in our interest income
All of the loans we issue are due within approximately two years of disbursement. The relatively short-
term nature of our loans means that our long-term interest income stream is less certain than if a portion
of our loans were for a longer term. In addition, our customers may not obtain new loans from us upon
maturity of their existing loans, particularly if competition increases. The potential instability of our
interest income could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.
We are exposed to certain political, regulatory and concentration of risks and plan to expand into newer
geographic locations
18
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
Due to the nature of operations, we are exposed to political, regulatory and concentration risks. We
believe a mitigant to this is to expand its geographical reach and we are consequently expanding
operations in different geographies.
If we are not effectively able to manage such operations and expansion, we may lose money invested in
such expansion, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Large scale attrition, especially at the senior management level, can make it difficult for us to manage
our business
If we are not able to attract, motivate, integrate or retain qualified personnel at levels of experience that
are necessary to maintain our quality and reputation, it will be difficult for us to manage our business and
growth
We depend on the services of our executive officers and key employees for our continued operations and
growth. In particular, our senior management has significant experience in the microfinance, banking and
financial services industries. The loss of any of our executive officers, key employees or senior managers
could negatively affect our ability to execute our business strategy, including our ability to manage our
rapid growth. Our business is also dependent on our team of personnel who directly manage our
relationships with our members. Our business and profits would suffer adversely if a substantial number
of such personnel left us or became ineffective in servicing our members over a period of time. Our future
success will depend in large part on our ability to identify, attract and retain highly skilled managerial and
other personnel. Competition for individuals with such specialized knowledge and experience is intense in
our industry, and we may be unable to attract, motivate, integrate or retain qualified personnel at levels
of experience that are necessary to maintain our quality and reputation or to sustain or expand our
operations. The loss of the services of such personnel or the inability to identify, attract and retain
qualified personnel in the future would make it difficult for us to manage our business and growth and to
meet key objectives.
Our business and results of operations would be adversely affected by strikes, work stoppages or
increased wage demands by our employees
Our employees are not currently unionized. However, there can be no assurance that they will not
unionize in the future. If our employees unionize, it may become difficult for us to maintain flexible labour
policies, and we could incur higher labour costs, which would adversely affect our business and results of
operations.
Successful claims that exceed our insurance coverage could harm our results of operations and diminish
our financial position.
We maintain insurance coverage of the type and in the amounts that we believe are commensurate with
our operations and other general liability insurances. Our insurance policies, however, may not provide
adequate coverage in certain circumstances and may be subject to certain deductibles, exclusions and
limits on coverage.
In addition, there are various types of risks and losses for which we do not maintain insurance, such as
losses due to business interruption and natural disasters, because they are either uninsurable or because
19
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
insurance is not available to us on acceptable terms. A successful assertion of one or more large claims
against us that exceeds our available insurance coverage or results in changes in our insurance policies,
including premium increases or the imposition of a larger deductible or co-insurance requirement, could
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not have director ‘s and
officer ‘s insurance which could impact an individual ‘s decision to serve on our Board of Directors.
Microcredit lending poses unique risks not generally associated with other forms of lending in India,
and, as a result, we may experience increased levels of NPAs and related provisions and write-offs that
negatively impact our results of operations
Our core mission is to provide loans to fund the small businesses and other income generating activities of
our customers. Our customers are typically poor and illiterate women living in rural India, who have
limited sources of income, savings and credit histories, and who cannot provide us with any collateral or
security for their borrowings. We also disburse non-interest bearing loans to our customers in the event of
emergencies, such as pregnancy, funerals and natural disasters. In addition, we have extended loan
repayment moratoriums of two to three weeks to customers who have been victims of flood conditions.
While we do extend such moratoriums on a case by case basis, extensive flood conditions could adversely
affect the ability of our customers to make loan payments on time and in turn negatively impact our
results of operations. As a result, our customers pose a higher risk of default than borrowers with greater
financial resources and more established credit histories and borrowers living in urban areas with better
access to education, employment opportunities, and social services.
In addition, we rely on non-traditional guarantee mechanisms in connection with our loan products, which
are generally secured by informal individual and group guarantees, rather than tangible assets. As a result,
our loan products pose a higher degree of risk than loans secured with physical collateral. Due to the
precarious circumstances of our customers and our non-traditional lending practices we may, in the
future, experience increased levels of non-performing loans and related provisions and write-offs that
negatively impact our business and results of operations.
A credit enhancement happens by way of guarantee of loan to an individual member of a group by all the
other members of the group. The ability to repay the loan is taken care of by internal credit evaluation
and intention to repay is taken care of by the mutual guarantee of group customers.
We require certain statutory and regulatory approvals for conducting our business and our failure to
obtain or retain them in a timely manner, or at all, may adversely affect our operations
NBFCs in India are subject to strict regulation and supervision by the RBI. Pursuant to the Master Circular-
‘Non-Banking Financial Company-Micro Finance Institutions’ (NBFC-MFIs) – Directions dated July 1, 2014
(as updated from time to time, the NBFC-MFI Directions) issued by the RBI, we are required to maintain
our status as a Non-Banking Finance Company – Micro Finance Institution (“NBFC- MFI”) in order to be
eligible for categorization as priority sector advance for bank loans. See risk factor titled ―Current
Microfinance Industry Challenges for details. We require certain approvals, licenses, registrations and
permissions for operating our business, including registration with the RBI as a NBFC-MFI. Further, such
approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions must be maintained/renewed over time, applicable
requirements may change and we may not be aware of or comply with all requirements all of the time.
Additionally, we may need additional approvals from regulators to introduce new insurance and other fee
based products to our members. In particular, we are required to obtain a certificate of registration for
carrying on business as a NBFC-MFI that is subject to numerous conditions. In addition, our branches are
required to be registered under the relevant shops and establishments laws of the states in which they
20
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
are located. The shops and establishment laws regulate various employment conditions, including working
hours, holidays and leave and overtime compensation. If we fail to obtain or retain any of these approvals
or licenses, or renewals thereof, in a timely manner, or at all, our business may be adversely affected. If
we fail to comply, or a regulator claims we have not complied, with any of these conditions, our certificate
of registration may be suspended or cancelled and we shall not be able to carry on such activities. If we
fail to comply with the NBFC-MFI Directions and fail to maintain the status of NBFC-MFI, we will not be
eligible for priority sector loans from the Indian banking sector and may also attract penal provisions
under the RBI Act, 1934 for non-compliance.
We may be required to increase our capital ratio or amount of loan loss reserves, which may result in
changes to our business and accounting practices that would harm our business and results of
operation.
We are subject to the RBI minimum capital to risk weighted assets ratio regulations. Pursuant to Section
45 -IC of the Reserve Bank of India Act 1934, every NBFC-MFI is required to create a reserve fund and
transfer thereto a sum not less than 20 percent of its net profit every year, as disclosed in the profit and
loss account and before any dividend is declared. We are also required to maintain a minimum capital
adequacy ratio of 15.00 percent in relation to our aggregate risk-weighted assets and risk adjusted
assigned loans. The ratio must equal or exceed 15.00 percent.
The RBI may also in the future require compliance with other financial ratios and standards. Compliance
with such regulatory requirements in the future may require us to alter our business and accounting
practices or take other actions that could materially harm our business and operating results.
Competition from banks and financial institutions, as well as state-sponsored social programs, may
adversely affect our profitability and position in the Indian microcredit lending industry
We face our most significant competition from other micro finance institutions (MFIs) and banks in India.
Many of the institutions with which we compete have greater assets and better access to, and lower cost
of, funding than we do. In certain areas, they may also have better name recognition and larger member
bases than us. We anticipate that we may encounter greater competition as we continue expanding our
operations in India, which may result in an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
We believe traditional commercial banks as well as regional rural and cooperative banks have generally
not directly targeted the rural lower income segments of the population for new customers. However,
some banks do participate in microfinance by financing the loan programs of self-help groups often in
partnership with NGOs. Banks also indirectly participate in microfinance by making loans and providing
other sources of funding to other MFIs. In addition, we are aware that some commercial banks are
beginning to directly compete with for –profit MFIs for lower income segment customers in certain
geographies.
Movement in market interest rates may adversely affect the margins of the Issuer
Changes in interest rates at which the Issuer borrows can impact spreads, especially in the short term.
Increase in cost of funds can severely squeeze margins, impacting profitability and operational self-
sufficiency of MFIs. With increasing competition and pressure to cut interest rates, the Issuer may not be
in a position to pass interest rate increases to clients. Further, the new directions issued by the RBI, the
21
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
NBFC-MFI Directions (following the recommendations of the Malegam Committee Report) has introduced
restrictions on margins, interest rates and processing fees and will increase interest rate risk for the Issuer.
1. Financial difficulties and other problems in certain financial institutions in India could cause our
business to suffer and adversely affect our results of operations.
We are exposed to the risks of the Indian financial system, which in turn may be affected by financial
difficulties and other problems faced by certain Indian financial institutions. Certain Indian financial
institutions have experienced difficulties during recent years. Some co-operative banks (which tend to
operate in rural sector) have also faced serious financial and liquidity crises. There has been a trend
towards consolidation with weaker banks and NBFCs being merged with stronger entities. The
problems faced by individual Indian financial institutions and any instability in or difficulties faced by
the Indian financial system generally could create adverse market perception about Indian financial
institutions, banks and NBFCs. This in turn could adversely affect our business, our future financial
performance, our shareholders’ funds and the market price of our NCDs.
2. Terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other acts of violence or war involving India and other countries
could adversely affect the financial markets and our business
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may negatively affect our business and may also
adversely affect the worldwide financial markets. These acts may also result in a loss of business
confidence. In addition, any deterioration in relations between India and its neighbouring countries
might result in investor concern about stability in the region, which could adversely affect our
business.
India has also witnessed civil disturbances in recent years and it is possible that future civil unrest as
well as other adverse social, economic and political events in India could have a negative impact on us.
Such incidents could also create a greater perception that investment in Indian companies involves a
higher degree of risk and could have an adverse impact on our business and the market price of our
NCDs.
3. Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy, particularly the agriculture
sector, and cause our business to suffer
India has experienced natural calamities such as earthquakes, a tsunami, floods and drought in the
past few years. The extent and severity of these natural disasters determines their impact on the
Indian economy. The erratic progress of the monsoon in 2012 affected sowing operations for certain
crops. Further, prolonged spells of below normal rainfall or other natural calamities could have a
negative impact on the Indian economy thereby, adversely affecting our business.
4. Instability of economic policies and the political situation in India could adversely affect the
fortunes of the industry
There is no assurance that the liberalization policies of the government will continue in the future.
Protests against privatization could slow down the pace of liberalization and deregulation. The
Government of India plays an important role by regulating the policies and regulations that govern the
private sector. The current economic policies of the government may change at a later date. The pace
22
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
of economic liberalization could change and specific laws and policies affecting the industry and other
policies affecting investments in our Company’s business could change as well. A significant change in
India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies could disrupt business and economic
conditions in India and thereby affect our Company’s business.
Unstable domestic as well as international political environment could impact the economic
performance in the short term as well as the long term. The Government of India has pursued the
economic liberalization policies including relaxing restrictions on the private sector over the past
several years. The present Government has also announced polices and taken initiatives that support
continued economic liberalization.
The Government has traditionally exercised and continues to exercise a significant influence over
many aspects of the Indian economy. Our Company’s business may be affected not only by changes in
interest rates, changes in Government policy, taxation, social and civil unrest but also by other
political, economic or other developments in or affecting India.
5. Companies operating in India are subject to a variety of central and state government taxes and
surcharges.
Tax and other levies imposed by the central and state governments in India that affect our tax liability
include: (i) central and state taxes and other levies; (ii) income tax; (iii) value added tax; (iv) turnover
tax; (v) service tax; (vi) stamp duty; and (vii) other special taxes and surcharges which are introduced
on a temporary or permanent basis from time to time. Moreover, the central and state tax scheme in
India is extensive and subject to change from time to time. For example, a Direct tax code is proposed
to be introduced in the Indian Parliament.
The statutory corporate income tax in India, which includes a surcharge on the tax and an education
cess on the tax and the surcharge, is currently 33.99 %. The central or state government may in the
future increase the corporate income tax it imposes. Any such future increases or amendments may
affect the overall tax efficiency of companies operating in India and may result in significant additional
taxes becoming payable. Additional tax exposure could adversely affect our business and results of
operations.
6. There is no assurance that the NCDs issued pursuant to this Issue will be listed on Stock Exchanges in
a timely manner, or at all.
In accordance with Indian law and practice, permissions for listing and trading of the NCDs issued

Effect of Holidays
Should any of the dates defined above or elsewhere in this Schedule other than the Deemed Date of
Allotment and date of maturity, fall on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday, the next Business Day shall
be considered as the effective date(s). However, for payment of principal amount, previous working day
shall be considered as effective date.
1. If the interest payment date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday, the payment may be made
on the following working day however the dates of the future coupon payments would be as per the
schedule originally stipulated at the time of issuing the security. In other words, the subsequent
coupon schedule would not be disturbed merely because the payment date in respect of one
particular coupon payment has been postponed earlier because of it having fallen on a Saturday,
Sunday or a public holiday.
2. In order to ensure consistency for interest calculation, a uniform methodology shall be followed for
calculation of interest payments in the case of leap year, which shall be as follows: In case of a leap
year, if February 29 falls during the tenor of a security, then the number of days shall be reckoned as
366 days (Actual/Actual day count convention) for a whole one-year period, irrespective of whether
the interest is payable annually, half yearly, quarterly or monthly etc. It is thus emphasized that for a
half yearly interest payment, 366 days would be reckoned twice as the denominator; for quarterly
interest, four times and for monthly interest payment, twelve times. If the maturity date of the debt
securities, falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a holiday, the redemption proceeds shall be paid on the
previous working day.
3. In order to ensure uniformity for payment of interest/redemption with respect to debt securities, it
has been decided that interest/redemption payments shall be made only on the days when the
money market is functioning in Mumbai.

The following description is a summary of certain laws applicable to the Non-Banking Financial Companies
in India as well as certain other Indian Laws and foreign laws, which are applicable to our Company and
our business. The summary of laws, regulations and policies set forth below is not exhaustive and is only
intended to provide general overview.
Our Company is engaged in the business of providing loans against collaterals. We are governed by the
laws governing service sector enterprises and commercial establishments. We are a non deposit taking
(which does not accept public deposits), systemically important, NBFC. As such, our business activities are
regulated by RBI regulations applicable to non-public deposit accepting NBFCs (“NBFC-ND-SI, MFI”).
Taxation statutes such as the Income Tax Act, 1961, the Finance Act, 1994, the Shops and Establishments
Act, 1958, labour regulations such as the Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948 and the Employees’
Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Act, 1952, and other miscellaneous regulations and statutes apply to us
as they do to any other Indian company. The statements below are based on the current provisions of
Indian law, and the judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, which are subject to change or
modification by subsequent legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial decisions.
As per the RBI Act, a financial institution has been defined as a company which includes a non-banking
institution carrying on as its business or part of its business the financing activities, whether by way of
making loans or advances or otherwise, of any activity, other than its own and it is engaged in the
activities of loans and advances, acquisition of shares / stock / bonds / debentures / securities issued by
the Government of India or other local authorities or other marketable securities of like nature, leasing,
hire-purchase, insurance business, chit business but does not include any institution whose principal
business is that of carrying out any agricultural or industrial activities or the sale / purchase / construction
of immovable property.
As per prescribed law any company that carries on the business of a non-banking financial institution as its
‘principal business’ is to be treated as an NBFC. The term ‘principal business’ has not been defined in any
statute, however, RBI has clarified through a press release (Ref. No. 1998-99/ 1269) issued in 1999, that in
order to identify a particular company as an NBFC, it will consider both the assets and the income pattern
as evidenced from the last audited balance sheet of the company to decide a company’s principal
business. The company will be treated as an NBFC if its financial assets are more than 50 per cent of its
total assets (netted off by intangible assets) and income from financial assets should be more than 50 per
cent of the gross income. Both these tests are required to be satisfied in order to determine the principal
business of a company. Further a NBFC-MFI is required to be constituted of qualified assets not less than
85% of its total assets (netted off by intangible assets).
Every NBFC is required to submit to the RBI a certificate, from its statutory auditor within one month from
the date of finalization of the balance sheet and in any case not later than December 30 of that year,
72

stating that it is engaged in the business of non-banking financial institution requiring it to hold a
certificate of registration.
NBFCs are primarily governed by the RBI Act, the Non-Banking Financial (Deposit Accepting or Holding)
Companies Prudential Norms (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2007 (“Prudential Norms – D”), the Non-Banking
Financial (Non-Deposit Accepting or Holding) Companies Prudential Norms (Reserve Bank) Directions,
2007 (“Prudential Norms – ND”), the provisions of the Non-Banking Financial Companies Prudential
Norms (Reserve Bank) Directions, 1998 and the revised regulatory framework for NBFCs issued by RBI vide
its circular DNBR (PD) CC.No.002/03.10.001/2014-15 dated November 10, 2014 and DNBR (PD)
CC.No.024/03.10.001/2014-15 dated March 27, 2015 as amended from time to time. In addition to these
regulations, NBFC-MFIs are also governed by various circulars, notifications, guidelines and directions
issued by the RBI from time to time.
The Securities Contract (Regulation) Act, 1956 (“SCRA”) seeks to prevent undesirable transactions in
securities by regulating the business of dealing in securities and other related matters. The SCRA provides
for grant of recognition for stock exchanges by the Central Government. Every recognized stock exchange
is required to have in place a set of rules relating to its constitution and bye-laws for the regulation and
control of contracts. The said act deals with recognition, derecognition, regulation / control on the stock
exchanges, empowers the stock exchanges for making its own bye laws, rules and the provisions
pertaining to listing of securities, delisting of securities and dealing in securities. The said enactment also
provides for appellate mechanism.
