SECTION II – RISK FACTORS
This offering and an investment in equity shares involve a high degree of risk. This section describes the risks that
we currently believe may materially affect our business and operations. You should carefully consider the
following, in addition to any forward-looking statements and the cautionary statements in this Letter of Offer and
the other information contained in this Letter of Offer, before making any investment decision relating to the
Rights Equity Shares. Prospective investors should read this section in conjunction with the sections ‘Our
Business’, ‘Forward Looking Statements’ and ‘Financial Statements’, as well as other financial and statistical
information contained in this Letter of Offer. The occurrence of any of the following events, or the occurrence of
other risks that are not currently known or are now deemed immaterial, could cause our business, results of
operations, cash flows, financial condition and prospects to suffer and could cause the market price of our Equity
Shares to decline or fall significantly and you may lose all or part of your investment.
This Letter of Offer also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual
results may differ materially from the anticipated results in the forward-looking statements as a consequence of
certain factors including the considerations described below and elsewhere in this Letter of Offer.
The risks described below are not the only ones relevant to us or the Equity Shares. Additional risks that may be
unknown to us and some risks that we do not currently believe to be material could subsequently turn out to be
material. Although we seek to mitigate or minimize these risks, one or more of a combination of these risks could
materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Investors should pay
particular attention to the fact that our Company is an Indian company and is subject to a legal and regulatory
regime which in some respects may be different from that applicable in other countries. Prospective investors
should consult their own tax, financial and legal advisors about the particular consequences of an investment in
the Issue.
All financial information used in this section is derived from the Financial Statements. For additional details,
please refer to the section titled “Financial Statements” beginning on page 99.
1. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations is uncertain and cannot be
predicted.
Due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government of India has introduced stringent measures to
prevent the spread of the disease. As on the date hereof, certain restrictions imposed by the GoI, such as on free
movement or maintenance of social distancing, have not been completely lifted and there is no viable vaccine or
cure for the disease as on date. As the viral pandemic has not yet fully subsided, there is little comprehension on
the full impact of the pandemic induced lockdown on the Indian or the global economy. While the GoI has through
the Ministry of Finance issued a series of liquidity enhancement measures to counteract the slowdown caused by
a reduction in economic activity during the lockdown, the impact of such measures remain unknown at the present
moment.
Some of the ascertainable impact of COVID-19 pandemic and the pandemic induced lockdown on our business
and operations include:
- Restrictions on movement of people during the lockdown has adversely impacted our cash collections due
to inability of employees to make on-field visits;
- The lockdown has adversely impacted the business of our customers, which in turn has adversely impacted
our business, including disbursements;
- Adverse liquidity on account of an RBI mandated moratorium, which in turn will also lead to delayed
interest payment till the end of the deferred repayment period leading to potential asset-liability
mismatches;
- Anticipation of increase in Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”) due to general slowdown in the Indian economy
on account of pandemic and extension of RBI mandated moratorium;
- A slowdown on further branch expansion;
- Downgrades in our credit ratings; and
- Implementation of a no increment policy for our employees and other cost optimization measures.
While our Company continued to be operational during the lockdown in accordance with the guidelines issued by
the Ministry of Home Affairs and the concerned State Governments, from time to time, there can be no assurance
that upon complete easing of the pandemic containment measures, economic activity in general or the level of
15
business of our Company in the past will continue to exist. Additionally, as we gradually transition towards pre-
pandemic levels of office attendance for our employees, sanitisation and precautionary measures undertaken may
cause our Company to incur additional expenses to maintain the health of customers visiting our branches and
employees, including operating with limited staff or at limited times, which in turn will impact our business and
results of operations. Further, if any of our employees contract COVID-19 and/or are unable to continue working,
we may be compelled to undertake additional measures including temporary suspension of operations at a
particular branch, which in turn will impact our business and results of operations.
As a part of the incentive package to help the Indian economy recover from the stagnation caused by the COVID-
19 induced lockdown, the Ministry of Finance has announced various liquidity enhancement measures, including
provision of funding to certain specified sectors such as micro, medium and small-scale enterprises. While the
operational guidelines for the implementation of such liquidity enhancement schemes are gradually being
disclosed, any requirement to provide additional credits to sectors, where we have limited experience, may require
us to dedicate substantial manpower and resources towards understanding the nuances of such sectors.
Additionally, given our limited experience in these sectors, we may be subjected to increased number of Stage 3
Assets.
The negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic will be reflected in the turnover and profitability of the
Company for the Fiscal 2021, however, the level of the same cannot be ascertained at present. The Company has
made additional expected credit loss provision in the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020.
Due to the limited information available currently, we have not been able to quantify the full impact of the
containment measures on our financial statements. In the event that the containment measures have a significant
adverse impact on the economic health of our customers in particular and the economy in general, our future
prospects, profitability and results of operations may in turn be negatively impacted.
2. Instability of global and Indian economies and banking and financial sectors could affect the liquidity of
our Company, which could have a material adverse effect on our Company’s financial condition.
The credit markets in India have faced significant volatility, dislocation and liquidity constraints in the past two
financial years. The instability in the Indian credit markets has in the past resulted from significant write downs
of asset value of financial institutions including banks (primarily in the public sector), housing finance companies
and non-banking financial companies.
Any protracted instability in the Indian credit markets or other macro-economic factors which may impact the
overall liquidity available in the Indian credit markets in general or the amount of credit available to non-banking
financial companies in particular, could adversely impact our ability to raise funds in a timebound manner and at
commercially acceptable terms.
Non-availability of credit may lead to disruption in our business, including asset-liability mismatches and an
inability to grow our business, and may require our Company to seek alternate sources of funding, which may not
be available on commercially acceptable terms or at all.
3. Our financial performance is highly sensitive to interest rate volatility and our lending and treasury
operations may be impacted by any volatility in such interest rates, which could cause our net interest
income and margins to decline and adversely affect our return on assets and profitability.
Our results of operations are substantially dependent upon the level of our net interest margins. As of March 31,
2020, our gross loan assets were Rs. 1,085,017.10 million as compared to Rs. 1,023,074.90 million as of March
31, 2019. We provide loans at fixed rates of interest. We borrow funds on both fixed and floating rates. As of
March 31, 2020, approximately 87.05% of our borrowings were at fixed rates and 12.95% of our borrowings were
at floating interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate risks as a result of lending to customers predominantly at
fixed interest rates (and we typically do not have an escalation clause in our agreements), amounts and for periods
which may differ from our funding sources. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond our control,
including the monetary policies of the RBI, deregulation of the financial sector in India, domestic and international
economic and political conditions and other factors, which have historically generated a high degree of volatility
in interest rates in India. Difficult conditions in the global and Indian economy can affect the availability of credit.
Volatility in interest rates in our borrowing operations can materially and adversely affect our financial
performance and cash flows. In a rising interest rate environment, if the yield on our interest-earning assets does
not increase simultaneously with or to the same extent as our cost of funds, or, in a declining interest rate
environment, if our cost of funds does not decline simultaneously or to the same extent as the yield on our interest-
16
earning assets, our net interest income and net interest margin would be adversely impacted. Additional risks
arising from increasing interest rates, among others, include:
• increases in the rates of interest charged on various loans in our loan portfolio, which could result in the
extension of loan maturities and higher monthly instalments due from borrowers which, in turn, could result
in higher rates of default;
• reductions in the volume of commercial vehicle loans as a result of clients’ inability to service high interest
rate payments; and
• reduction in the value of fixed income securities held in our investment portfolio.
Accordingly, our operations are susceptible to fluctuations in interest rates. Interest rates are highly sensitive and
fluctuations thereof are dependent upon many factors which are beyond our control, including the monetary
policies of the RBI, de-regulation of the financial services sector in India, domestic and international economic
and political conditions, inflation and other factors, which may also adversely affect our treasury operations.
Difficult conditions in the global and Indian economy can affect the availability of credit. In a rising interest rate
environment, especially if the rise is sudden or sharp, we could be adversely affected by the decline in market
value of our securities portfolio and other fixed income securities. We cannot assure that we will enter into any
interest rate hedging instruments to adequately hedge against interest rate volatility in the future.
4. Our business requires raising substantial capital through borrowings and any disruption in funding
sources would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition and/or cash flows.
As an asset finance company, our liquidity and on-going profitability are, in large part, dependent upon our timely
access to, and the costs associated with, raising capital. As of March 31, 2020, 86.80% of our borrowed funds
consisted of funds raised from financial institutions and banks (including public issues of non-convertible
debentures), while the remaining 13.20% consisted of funds raised through retail borrowings. Our funding
requirements are predominantly met through term loans from banks (including cash credit and external
commercial borrowings), the issue of redeemable non-convertible debentures and deposits (including public and
corporate deposits), which constituted 43.48 %, 21.67 % and 12.63 % of our total borrowings, respectively, as of
March 31, 2020. Our credit providers include nationalised banks, private Indian banks, foreign institutional
investors and foreign banks and we also rely on domestic retail investors. Our business, therefore, depends and
will continue to depend on our ability to access diversified funding sources. Our ability to raise funds on acceptable
terms and at competitive rates continues to depend on various factors including our credit ratings, the economic
and regulatory environment and policy initiatives in India, developments in the international markets whether
affecting the Indian economy or not, investors’ and/or lenders’ perception of demand for debt and equity securities
of NBFCs and our current and future results of operations and financial condition. Changes in economic and
financial conditions or continuing lack of liquidity in the market could make it difficult for us to access funds at
competitive rates. Any such disruption in our ability to access primary funding sources at competitive costs would
have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition and/or cash flows.
5. There are outstanding legal proceedings against our Company which may adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
There are outstanding legal proceedings against our Company that are in the ordinary course of business or are
incidental to our business and operations, including certain criminal proceedings, civil proceedings and tax
proceedings and certain legislation relating to “money lending” activities which, if determined against us, could
have a material adverse effect on our goodwill, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. These
proceedings are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts and tribunals, primarily relating
to civil suits and tax disputes.
A summary of material outstanding legal proceedings involving our Company, as on the date of this Letter of
Offer, including the aggregate approximate amount involved to the extent ascertainable, is set out below.

Additionally, certain criminal cases and recovery suits have been filed by our Company against various parties in
relation to alleged violations arising in the ordinary course of our business and operations under, among others,
the Indian Penal Code. These matters are currently pending at various stages of adjudication.
The Company has filed an appeal before the Supreme Court of India in connection with a writ petition filed by
our Company challenging the action of the Commissioner of Commercial Taxes, Kerala, directing our Company
to register under the provisions of the Kerala Money Lenders Act, 1958. Further, our Company has filed a writ
petition against the State of Karnataka before the High Court of Karnataka, inter alia, seeking a declaration that
the provisions of the Karnataka Money Lenders Act, 1961, and the Karnataka Prohibition of Charging Exorbitant
Interest Act, 2004 do not apply to our Company. In the event of any adverse ruling, our Company may be required
to register as a money lending entity and will be required to comply with the provisions of such legislation within
the relevant States and similar regulatory authorities in other States in India where we currently carry on business
or propose to carry on business in the future, including imposition of caps on the interest rates which can be
charged by our Company. If we are required to comply with such interest rate limits or any other conditions
specified under such legislation, our interest income and net interest margin may be adversely impacted as well
as the conduct of our operations. For further information relating to such proceedings, see “Outstanding
Litigations and Defaults” on page 386.
Further, there can be no assurance that the pending proceedings will be decided in our favour or that penal or other
action will not be taken against our Company and/or any senior management party to such proceedings and/or or
that the provisions we make will be adequate to cover all losses we may incur in such proceedings, or that our
actual liability will be as reflected in any provision that we have made in connection with any such legal
proceedings. We may be required to devote management and financial resources in the defence or prosecution of
such legal proceedings. If a number of these disputes are determined against our Company and if our Company is
required to pay all or a portion of the disputed amounts or if we are unable to recover amounts for which we have
filed recovery proceedings, there could be a material and adverse impact on our reputation, business, financial
condition and results of operations.
In addition, should any new developments arise, such as changes in Indian law or rulings against us by the
regulators, appellate courts or tribunals, we may need to make provisions in our financial statements, which could
increase our expenses and current liabilities. If we fail to successfully defend our claims or if our provisions prove
to be inadequate, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
6. Shriram Insight Share Broker Limited (“SISBL”), a Group Company, has received a show cause notice
for violation of provisions of SEBI circulars issued under the SEBI (Stock Brokers and Sub-Brokers)
Regulations, which if adversely determined may subject SISBL to penalties.
SISBL, has received a show cause notice (SEBI/EAD-4/GR/KG/OW/10733/1/2020) dated June 1, 2020 (“SCN”)
from the adjudication officer alleging the violation of various SEBI circulars issued under the Stock Broker
Regulations in relation for (i) failure to send pledge statements to clients; (ii) failure to settle or retention of huge
amounts of securities in excess of obligations of clients (ranging from Rs. 8.37 lakhs to Rs. 6.78 crore); (iii) failure
to report fund balances; and (iv) failure to upload KYC data.
SISBL is in the process of responding to the SCN. As on the date SISBL or our Company cannot ascertain the
monetary impact of any adverse determination, if made, by the adjudication officer pursuant to the SCN
proceedings.
Further, SISBL, by way of orders dated April 30, 2020 and June 26, 2020 has been penalised amounts of Rs.
200,000 and Rs. 1,000,000, respectively, by adjudicating officers, on account of violation of the minimum
maintenance margin as specified under the SEBI Circular no. SEBI/MRD/SE/SU/Cir-15/04 dated March 19, 2004,
various non-compliances under the Stock Broker Regulations, including the Code of Conduct under the Stock
18
Broker Regulations. SISBL is currently evaluating further options in relation to preferring an appeal against the
orders dated April 30, 2020 and June 26, 2020.
Further, in the event that the SCN is determined adversely against SISBL or if any appeal filed by SISBL against
the orders dated April 30, 2020 and June 26, 2020 are rejected or determined in a fashion adverse to SISBL’s
interests, SISBL may be subject to adverse actions, including monetary penalties. Further, any adverse order
against SISBL may have an adverse reputational impact on our Company, which in turn may adversely impact
our future profitability and results of operations.
7. If we are unable to manage the level of non-performing assets Stage 3 Assets in our loan portfolio, our
financial position, results of operations and cash flows may suffer.
In the past, we have seen increasing levels of Stage 3 Assets in our loan portfolio. As per our Standalone Financial
Statements, our gross Stage 3 Assets were Rs. 91,770.80 million and Rs. 86,162.70 million as at March 31, 2020
and March 31, 2019, respectively, and our net Stage 3 Assets were Rs. 59,911.30 million and Rs. 56,465.30
million as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. As per our Standalone Financial Statements, our
Stage 3 Assets as a percentage of total loan assets was 8.46% and 8.42% as at March 31, 2020 and March 31,
2019, respectively and our net Stage 3 Assets as a percentage of net loan assets was 5.86% and 5.84% as at March
31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively.
As a part of the incentive package to help the Indian economy recover from the stagnation caused by the COVID-
19 induced lockdown, the Ministry of Finance has announced various liquidity enhancement measures, including
provision of funding to certain specified sectors such as micro, medium and small-scale enterprises. While the
operational guidelines for the implementation of such liquidity enhancement schemes are currently awaited, any
requirement to provide additional credits to sectors, where we have limited experience, may require us to dedicate
substantial manpower and resources towards understanding the nuances of such sectors. Additionally, given our
limited experience in these sectors, we may be subjected to increased number of Stage 3 Assets.
We cannot be sure that we will be able to improve our collections and recoveries in relation to our Stage 3 Assets,
or otherwise adequately control our level of Stage 3 Assets in the future. We have also seen an increase in our
Gross Stage 3 Assets on account of changes in RBI regulations pertaining to time period for classification of our
assets as Stage 3 Assets s in the past. Any further changes in RBI norms may cause further impediments in our
ability to maintain our assets as standard.
Our company being a non-banking finance company registered with RBI is mainly into financing of pre-owned
commercial vehicles, which sector has been adversely affected pursuant to the COVID-19 and consequently the
COVID-19 disruptions may have an adverse impact on the repayment capacity by our customers of the loans
taken from us. Amongst various measures announced to mitigate the economic impact from COVID-19 virus
pandemic, the RBI has also issued circulars dated March 27, 2020 and April 17, 2020 (the “RBI Moratorium
Circulars”) allowing lending institutions to offer a moratorium to customers on payment of instalments falling
due between March 1, 2020 and August 31, 2020. Further the RBI Moratorium Circulars also state that such a
moratorium period can be excluded from the number of days past due for effecting a downgrade in asset
classification. However, though the moratorium should help address some near-term pressures, it may not
materially change the anticipated long term deterioration in customers repayment capacity. This may lead to
deterioration in our asset quality/ delayed recoveries and increased Stage 3 Assets.
In certain cases where a customer has delayed payments but has demonstrated an ability to continue servicing the
relevant loan, we generally do not enforce the security and take possession of the financed vehicle but we allow
the loan to remain outstanding and continue without restructuring, which can adversely affect the position of our
asset quality and Stage 3 Assets/ECL provisioning. There can also be no assurance that in such cases the customer
would not continue to delay payments, which could adversely affect our profitability and cash flows.
If we are not able to control or reduce our level of Stage 3 Assets, the overall quality of our loan portfolio may
deteriorate, and our results of operations and/or cash flows may be adversely affected. Furthermore, in future our
provisions may not be adequate when compared to the loan portfolios of other financial institutions. Moreover,
there also can be no assurance that there will be no further deterioration in our provisioning coverage as a
percentage of Stage 3 Provision coverage as a percentage of Stage 3 Assets or otherwise, or that the percentage
of Stage 3 Assets that we will be able to recover will be similar to our past experience of recoveries of Stage 3
Assets. In the event of any deterioration in our Stage 3 Assets /impaired portfolio, there could be an even greater
adverse impact on our results of operations and/or cash flows.
19
The RBI regulates some aspects of the recovery of non-performing loans, such as the use of recovery agents. Any
limitation on our ability to recover, control and reduce non-performing loans as a result of these guidelines or
otherwise could affect our collections and ability to foreclose on existing Stage 3 Assets.
As of March 31, 2020, our Stage 3 Provision coverage was 34.72%. In the event the overall credit quality of our
loans deteriorates, the current level of our provisioning may be inadequate to cover the increase in our Stage 3
Assets. There can be no assurance that there will be no deterioration in the provisioning coverage as a percentage
of gross Stage 3 Assets or otherwise or that the percentage of Stage 3 Assets that we will be able to recover will
be similar to our past Stage 3 Assets recovery experience.
8. Any downgrade of our credit ratings would increase borrowing costs and constrain our access to capital
and lending markets and, as a result, would negatively affect our net interest margin and our business.
The cost and availability of capital is also dependent on our short-term and long-term credit ratings. Ratings reflect
a rating agency’s opinion of our financial strength, operating performance, strategic position and ability to meet
our obligations. Our Company’s credit rating have been recently downgraded by S&P Global Ratings from
BB/Negative/B to BB-/Watch Negative/B, representing adequate outlook; India Ratings and Research has placed
the long-term issuer rating of our Company from IND AA+/Stable to Rating Watch Negative; and CRISIL has
revised its outlook on the long term debt instruments, bank facilities and fixed deposit programme of our Company
from Stable to Negative, respectively. In relation to our short and long term debts, as of June 1, 2020, we have
ratings of CRISIL rating of ‘CRISIL AA+/Negative’ for subordinated debt, ‘CRISIL AA+/Negative’ for NCDs,
‘CRISIL PP-MLD AA+r/Negative’ for long term principal protected market linked debentures, ‘FAAA/Negative’
for fixed deposit programme and ‘CRISIL A1+’ for commercial paper. India Ratings and Research of ‘IND
AA+/RWN’ for NCDs, ‘IND AA+/RWN/IND A1+’ for bank loans, ‘IND AA+/RWN’ for subordinated debt,
‘IND A1+’ for Short-term debt/ commercial paper (CP) programme and ‘IND tAA+/RWN’ for term deposit. S&P
Global Ratings gave a rating of ‘BB-/Watch Negative/B’ as Company’s credit rating and ‘BB-/Watch Negative’
for senior secured notes. CARE Ratings has given a rating of ‘CARE AA+; Negative’ for our NCDs and
subordinated debts, and ‘CARE A1+’ for our commercial papers. Fitch Ratings gave a rating of ‘BB Rating Watch
Negative’ for the local currency long term issuer default rating, ‘B’ for short term issuer default rating, ‘BB Rating
Watch Negative’ for local currency long term issuer default rating, ‘BB Rating Watch Negative’ for senior
unsecured long term rating and ‘BB Rating Watch Negative’ for senior secured long term rating.
Any downgrade of our credit ratings would increase borrowing costs and constrain our access to capital and debt
markets and, as a result, would negatively affect our net interest margin and our business. In addition, downgrades
of our credit ratings could increase the possibility of additional terms and conditions being added to any additional
financing or refinancing arrangements in the future. A downgrade of our credit ratings could also result in our
lenders accelerating the repayment of certain of our borrowers in accordance with the terms of our borrowing
arrangements with lenders. The ratings provided by credit rating agencies may be suspended, withdrawn or revised
at any time by the assigning rating agency and should be evaluated independently of any other rating. These
ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and investors should take their own decisions. Any
such adverse development could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or
cash flows.
9. We have regional concentration in southern India and western India, and therefore are dependent on the
general economic conditions and activities in these areas.
We have a significant presence in south and west India. As per our Consolidated Financial Statements, as of March
31, 2020, our AUM in south and west India comprised 47.00% and 16.41% of our total AUM, respectively. Our
concentration in the southern and western states exposes us to any adverse geological, ecological, economic and/or
political circumstances in that region. If there is a sustained downturn in the economy of south India or west India,
or a sustained change in consumer preferences in those regions for any reason including consequences of the
COVID-19 pandemic, our financial position may be adversely affected.
10. Our business is focused on commercial vehicle finance for new and pre-owned commercial vehicles and
any adverse developments in this sector and the automobile and transportation industry would adversely
affect our results of operations.
As we focus on providing financing for pre-owned and new commercial vehicles, our asset and Stage 3 Assets
portfolios have, and will likely continue in the future to have, a high concentration of pre-owned and new
commercial vehicle financing arrangements. As of March 31, 2020, our product portfolio for commercial vehicle
financing comprised of 85.60% pre-owned, 8.93% new commercial vehicles and 5.47% other loans.
20
Our business is, therefore, entirely dependent on various factors that impact this vehicle segment such as the
demand for transportation services in India, changes in Indian regulations and policies affecting pre-owned
commercial vehicles, natural disasters and calamities, and the macroeconomic environment in India and globally.
For example, lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the RTOs and dealers being closed for
operations between March 25, 2020 and June 7, 2020, during which period, no fresh registration of vehicles was
possible. Further, the MoRTH is proposing to introduce a vehicle scrappage policy, which may reduce the overall
life and road-worthiness of commercial vehicles or lead to a shift in preference for newer vehicles. For example,
if substantial credit is provided under the scrappage policy for removal of older vehicles, customers may have
greater incentive or resources to acquire new vehicles, which in turn may lead to reduced demand for pre-owned
vehicles. Such factors may result in a decline in the sales or value of new and pre-owned commercial vehicles.
Therefore, the demand for finance for pre-owned and new commercial vehicles may decline, which in turn may
adversely affect our financial condition, the results of our operations and/or cash flows. In addition, the ability of
commercial vehicle owners and/or operators to perform their obligations under existing financing agreements may
be adversely affected if their businesses suffer.
Our business, to a large extent, depends on the continued growth in the automobile and transportation industry in
India, which is influenced by a number of extraneous factors which are beyond our control, inter-alia including
(a) the macroeconomic environment in India, (b) the demand for transportation services, (c) natural disasters and
calamities, and (d) changes in regulations and policies in connection with motor vehicles. Such factors may result
in a decline in the sales or value of new and pre-owned CVs. The proposed vehicle scrappage policy, which if
implemented may alter the demand for pre-owned vehicles. Correspondingly, the demand for availing finance for
new and pre-owned commercial vehicles may decline, which in turn may adversely affect our financial condition
and the results of our operations. Further, the ability of CV owners and/or operators to perform their obligations
under existing financing agreements may be adversely affected if their businesses suffer as a result of the aforesaid
factors.
Our business is not diversified and any factor which adversely impacts our pre-owned commercial vehicle segment
may have a disproportionate impact on our operations, profitability and/or cash flows.
11. High levels of customer defaults could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations and/or cash flows.
Our primary business involves lending money to commercial vehicle owners and operators in India, and we are
subject to customer default risks including default or delay in repayment of principal or interest on our loans.
Moreover, our customer base has, and will likely continue in the future to have, a high concentration of first time
buyers (“FTBs”) and small road transport operators (“SRTOs”). Customers may default on their obligations to
us as a result of various factors including bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, lack of business and operational failure. If
borrowers fail to repay loans in a timely manner or at all, our financial condition, results of operations and/or cash
flows will be adversely impacted.
In addition, our customer portfolio principally consists of SRTOs and FTBs that lack banking habits and individual
borrowers generally are less financially resilient than larger corporate borrowers and, as a result, they can be more
adversely affected by declining economic conditions and become unable to make timely payments in respect of
the loans availed by them. In addition, a significant majority of our client base belongs to the low-income group.
The owners and/or operators of commercial vehicles we finance often do not have any credit history supported by
tax returns and other related documents which would enable us to assess their creditworthiness. Further, the
outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely impacted the economy and is likely to impact the ability of SRTOs, FTBs
and the low-income consumer group to make timely payments. In addition, the ability of commercial vehicle
owners and/or operators to perform their obligations under existing financing agreements may be adversely
affected if their businesses suffer as a result of the aforesaid factors.
Furthermore, unlike several developed economies, a nationwide credit bureau covering our customers does not
exist, so there is less financial information available about the creditworthiness of individuals, particularly our
client segment that is mainly from the low-income group and which typically has limited access to other financing
sources. It is therefore difficult to carry out precise credit risk analyses on our clients. Although we follow certain
procedures to evaluate the credit profile of our customers at the time of sanctioning a loan, we generally rely on
the referrals from the local trucking community and value of the commercial vehicle provided as underlying
collateral rather than on a stringent analysis of the credit profile of our customers. We may also not receive updated
information regarding any change in the financial condition of our customers or may receive inaccurate or
incomplete information as a result of any fraudulent misrepresentation on the part of our customers. Although we
21
believe that our risk management controls are sufficient, we cannot be certain that they will continue to be
sufficient or that additional risk management policies for individual borrowers will not be required.
Failure to continuously monitor the loan contracts, particularly for individual borrowers, could adversely affect
our credit portfolio which could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition
and/or cash flows.
12. We may not be able to recover, on a timely basis or at all, the full value of collateral or amounts which are
sufficient to cover the outstanding amounts due under defaulted loans and guarantee given by our
Company.
As a security interest for the financing facilities provided by us to our customers, the vehicles purchased by our
customers are hypothecated in our favour. The value of the vehicle, however, is subject to depreciation,
deterioration and/or reduction in value on account of other extraneous reasons, over the course of time.
Consequently, the realisable value of the collateral for the credit facility provided by us, when liquidated, may be
lower than the outstanding loan from such customers, even where we successfully repossess and liquidate the
collateral. Any default in repayment of the outstanding credit obligations by our customers may expose us to
losses. Furthermore, in the case of a default, we may repossess the commercial vehicles financed and sell such
vehicles. The hypothecated vehicles, being movable property, may be difficult to locate or seize in the event of
any default by our customers. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully repossess
the vehicles, and even if we do, there can also be no assurance that we will be able to sell such vehicles provided
as collateral at prices sufficient to cover the amounts under default. In addition, there may be delays associated
with such processes. A failure or delay to recover the expected value from sale of collateral security could expose
us to a potential loss. Any such losses could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and/or
cash flows. Furthermore, enforcing our legal rights by litigating against defaulting customers, even if governed
by an arbitration clause, is generally a slow and potentially expensive process in India. Accordingly, it may be
difficult for us to recover amounts owed by defaulting customers in a timely manner or at all. The recovery of
monies from defaulting customers may be further compounded by the fact that we do not generally insist on, or
receive, post-dated cheques as security towards the timely repayment of dues from customers to whom we have
provided loans. Further if we are unable to sell any repossessed vehicles provided as security for such loans at
commercially favourable prices, in a timely manner or at all, we may not recover the costs of maintaining such
repossessed vehicles and our operations, cash flows and profitability could be adversely affected.
We may be affected by the failure of employees to comply with internal procedures and the inaccurate appraisal
of credit or financial worth of our clients. Inaccurate appraisal of credit may allow a loan sanction which may
eventually result in a bad debt on our books of accounts. In the event that we are unable to check the risks arising
out of such lapses, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
14. We operate in an increasingly competitive financial services industry, which creates significant pricing
pressures and may adversely affect our net interest margins, income and market share. Further, our
growth depends on our ability to compete effectively in this competitive environment.
The financial services market is being served by a range of financial entities, including traditional banking
institutions, public sector banks, NBFCs and small finance banks. Our competitors may have greater financial
resources, may be larger in terms of business volume and customer base, have greater brand recognition among
customers, better institutional distribution platforms, may have more attractive schemes for customers in the post
COVID-19 situation and may have lower cost of funds compared to us. Moreover, as interest rate is a key factor
driving a customers’ decision in selecting a financier, competitors may offer loans at lower rates, owing to access
to lower cost of capital, to retain market share. This competition is likely to further intensify as more and more
international and domestic players enter into Indian financial services industry as a result of regulatory changes.
Our future success will depend, to a large extent, on our ability to respond in a timely and effective manner to
these competitive pressures. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully with such
competitors and gain market share.
We primarily provide vehicle finance loans to FTBs and SRTOs. Our primary competition historically has been
private unorganised financiers who principally operate in the local market. However, the significant growth in the
commercial vehicle finance segment in recent periods has attracted private banks and NBFCs increasing their
focus on this segment. In addition, interest rate deregulation and other liberalisation measures affecting the
22
commercial vehicle finance sector, together with increased demand for capital by FTBs and SRTOs, have resulted
in an increase in competition.
If we are unable to compete effectively with other participants in the commercial vehicle finance sector, our
business, future financial performance and the trading price of the Equity Shares may be adversely affected.
15. A large part of our collections are in cash and consequently we face the risk of misappropriation or fraud
by our employees.
A significant portion of our collections from our customers is in cash. Large cash collections expose us to the risk
of fraud, misappropriation or unauthorised transactions by our employees responsible for dealing with such cash
collections. While we have taken insurance policies and coverage for cash in safes and in transit and undertake
measures to detect and prevent any unauthorised transaction, fraud or misappropriation by our representatives and
officers, this may not be sufficient to prevent or deter such activities in all cases, which may adversely affect our
operations, profitability and/or cash flows. Further, we may be subject to regulatory or other proceedings in
connection with any unauthorised transaction, fraud or misappropriation by our representatives and employees,
which could adversely affect our goodwill, business prospects and future financial performance.
Our business is also susceptible to fraud by dealers, distributors and other agents through the forgery of documents,
multiple financing of the same vehicle and unauthorized collection of instalments on behalf of our Company.
Given the high volume of transactions involving cash processed by us, certain instances of fraud and misconduct
by our representatives or employees may go unnoticed for some time before they are discovered, and others
successfully rectified. Even when we discover instances of fraud and other misconduct and pursue legal recourse
or file claims with our insurance carriers, there can be no assurance that we will recover any amounts lost through
such fraud or other misconduct.
16. Our significant indebtedness and the conditions and restrictions imposed by our financing arrangements
could restrict our ability to conduct our business and operations in the manner we desire. If we are not in
compliance with the covenants contained in such financial arrangements, including obtaining the relevant
consents from our lenders for the Issue, our lenders could accelerate their respective repayment schedules,
and enforce their respective security interests, which would lead to an adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
As per our Consolidated Financial Statements, as of March 31, 2020, we had outstanding secured debt of Rs.
762,874.43 million and unsecured debt of Rs. 180,842.92 million. We will continue to incur additional
indebtedness in the future. Most of our borrowings are secured by our immovable, movable and other assets. Our
significant indebtedness could have several important consequences, including but not limited to the following:
• a portion of our cash flow may be used towards repayment of our existing debt, which will reduce the
availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general
corporate requirements;
• our ability to obtain additional financing in the future at reasonable terms may be restricted or our cost of
borrowings may increase due to sudden adverse market conditions, including decreased availability of credit
or fluctuations in interest rates;
• fluctuations in market interest rates may affect the cost of our borrowings, as some of our indebtedness is at
variable interest rates;
• there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash
flows if we are unable to service our indebtedness or otherwise comply with financial and other covenants
specified in the financing agreements; and
• we may be more vulnerable to economic downturns, may be limited in our ability to withstand competitive
pressures and may have reduced flexibility in responding to changing business, regulatory and economic
conditions.
Some of our financing agreements also include various conditions and covenants that require us to obtain lender
consents prior to carrying out certain activities and entering into certain transactions. Failure to meet these
conditions or obtain these consents could have significant consequences on our business and operations.
Specifically, under some of our financing agreements, we require, and may be unable to obtain, consents from the
relevant lenders for, among others, the following matters: entering into any scheme of merger; spinning-off of a
business division; selling or transferring all or a substantial portion of our assets; making any change in ownership
or control or constitution of our Company; making amendments in our Memorandum and Articles of Association;
creating any further security interest on the assets upon which the existing lenders have a prior charge; and raising
funds by way of any fresh capital issue. Our financing agreements also typically contain certain financial
23
covenants including the requirement to maintain, among others, specified debt-to-equity ratios, debt-to-net worth
ratios, or Tier I to Tier II capital ratios that may be higher than statutory or regulatory requirements. These
covenants vary depending on the requirements of the financial institution extending the loan and the conditions
negotiated under each financing document. Such covenants may restrict or delay certain actions or initiatives that
we may propose to take from time to time. For the purposes of this Rights Issue, we had sought a consent from
our lenders, as applicable, however, we have received certain conditional consents. We cannot assure you that the
lenders will not take any action if there is any breach of these conditions.
The RBI had pursuant to circular DOR.No.BP.BC.47/21.04.048/2019-20 dated March 27, 2020 and circular
DOR.No.BP.BC.63/21.04.048/2019-20 dated April 17, 2020 announced certain regulatory measures in the wake
of the disruptions on account of COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent asset classification and provisioning
norms. Our Company, has pursuant to the abovementioned circulars, sought a moratorium on payments of certain
instalments in respect of the financing availed. If the lenders do not treat the concessions granted to us under the
RBI circulars to arise from our financing difficulty, it may result in our asset classification downgrade and result
in our non-compliance to observe the covenants under our financing arrangements.
A failure to observe the covenants under our financing arrangements or to obtain necessary consents required
thereunder may lead to the termination of our credit facilities, acceleration of all amounts due under such facilities
and the enforcement of any security provided. Any acceleration of amounts due under such facilities may also
trigger cross default provisions under our other financing agreements. If the obligations under any of our financing
documents are accelerated, we may have to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to
make payments under such financing documents, thereby reducing the availability of cash for our working capital
requirements and other general corporate purposes. Further, during any period in which we are in default, we may
be unable to raise, or face difficulties raising, further financing. Any of these circumstances could adversely affect
our business, credit rating, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.
17. If the performance of our portfolios relating to various credit and financing facilities deteriorates, our
business, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows may be adversely affected.
We have in the past acquired, and may in the future continue to acquire, portfolios relating to various credit and
financing facilities from various originators including banks and other institutions, in the ordinary course of our
business.
There can be no assurance that we will not experience any deterioration in the performance of any loan portfolio
acquired by us or that may be acquired by us in the future. Any deterioration in such loan portfolios acquired by
us, and an inability to seek recourse against loan portfolio originators, or otherwise recover the investments made
in connection with the acquisition of such loan portfolios, would adversely impact our earnings realised from such
loan portfolios and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
18. We may face asset-liability mismatches which could affect our liquidity and consequently may adversely
affect our operations, profitability and/or cash flows.
We may face potential liquidity risks due to varying periods over which our assets and liabilities mature. Based
on the structural liquidity position of our Company as on March 31, 2020 as per the RBI norms, our Company has
positive asset liability mismatch of Rs. 37,635 million over a period of six months until September 30, 2020 based
on our submission dated June 29, 2020 to RBI. As is typical for NBFCs, a portion of our funding requirements is
met through short-term funding sources such as bank loans, working capital demand loans, cash credit, short-term
loans and commercial paper. Consequently, our inability to obtain additional credit facilities or renew our existing
credit facilities, in a timely and cost-effective manner or at all, may lead to mismatches between our assets and
liabilities, which in turn may adversely affect our operations, financial performance and/or cash flows. Further,
mismatches between our assets and liabilities are compounded in case of pre-payments of the financing facilities
we grant to our customers.
We cannot assure you that our business will continue to generate sufficient cash to enable us to service our existing
debt or to fund our other liquidity needs. Further, changes in economic, regulatory and financial conditions or lack
of liquidity in the market due to internal as well as external factors could adversely affect our ability to access
funds at competitive rates, which could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.
For further details on the impact of COVID-19 on the liquidity of our Company, please refer to the Risk Factor
“- The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations is uncertain and cannot be predicted.”

19. We are subject to supervision and regulation by the RBI and other regulatory authorities in India, and
changes in regulations governing us could adversely affect our business.
We are regulated principally by and have reporting obligations to the RBI. We are also subject to the corporate,
taxation and other laws in effect in India. The regulatory and legal framework governing us may continue to
change as India’s economy and commercial and financial markets evolve. In recent years, existing rules and
regulations have been modified, new rules and regulations have been enacted and reforms have been implemented
which are intended to provide tighter control and more transparency in India’s asset finance sector.
We are subject to the RBI’s guidelines on financial regulation of NBFCs, including capital adequacy, exposure
and other prudential norms. The RBI also regulates the credit flow by banks to NBFCs and provides guidelines to
commercial banks with respect to their investment and credit exposure norms for lending to NBFCs. The RBI’s
regulations of NBFCs could change in the future which may require us to restructure our activities, incur additional
cost, impose restrictions on banks in relation to the exposure to NBFCs or could otherwise adversely affect our
business and our financial performance. The RBI, from time to time, amends the regulatory framework governing
NBFCs to address, among others, concerns arising from certain divergent regulatory requirements for banks and
NBFCs.
The RBI, from time to time, amends the regulatory framework governing NBFCs to address concerns arising from
certain divergent regulatory requirements for banks and NBFCs. We are subject to the RBI’s Non-Banking
Financial Company –Systemically Important Non-Deposit taking Company and Deposit taking Company
(Reserve Bank) Directions, 2016, as amended from time to time. For details of our capital adequacy requirements,
see “Our Business – Capital Adequacy” on page 90.
The laws and regulations governing the banking and financial services industry in India have become increasingly
complex and cover a wide variety of issues, such as interest rates, liquidity, securitisation, investments, ethical
issues, money laundering and privacy. In some cases, there are overlapping regulations and enforcement
authorities. Moreover, these laws and regulations can be amended, supplemented or changed at any time such that
we may be required to restructure our activities and incur additional expenses to comply with such laws and
regulations, which could materially and adversely affect our business and our financial performance.
Compliance with many of the regulations applicable to our operations in India, including any restrictions on
investments, lending and other activities currently being carried out by our Company, involves a number of risks,
particularly in areas where applicable regulations may be subject to varying interpretations. Further, compliance
with many of the regulations applicable to our operations may involve significant costs and otherwise may impose
restrictions on our operations. If the interpretation of the regulators and authorities varies from our interpretation,
we may be subject to penalties and our business could be adversely affected. We are also subject to changes in
Indian laws, regulations and accounting principles and practices. There can be no assurance that the laws
governing our Company and its operations will not change in the future or that such changes or the interpretation
or enforcement of existing and future laws and rules by governmental and regulatory authorities will not adversely
affect our business and future financial performance.
Additionally, we are required to make various filings with the RBI, the Registrar of Companies and other relevant
authorities pursuant to the provisions of RBI regulations, the Companies Act and other regulations. If we fail to
comply with these requirements, or a regulator claims we have not complied with these requirements, we may be
subject to penalties and compounding proceedings. For example, in the past there has been an instance where a
penalty was imposed on us by Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India, which was paid and
settled by us. Further, the Enforcement Directorate has imposed a penalty of Rs. 50 million on our Company,
which we have filed an appeal against. Imposition of any penalty or adverse findings by the RBI or other
authorities may have an adverse effect on our business, operations results, financial condition and reputation.
20. As an NBFC, non-compliance with the RBI’s observations made during its periodic inspections could
expose us to penalties and restrictions.
As an NBFC, we are subject to periodic inspection by the RBI under section 45N of the RBI Act, pursuant to
which the RBI inspects our books of accounts and other records for the purpose of verifying compliance with
applicable regulations, the correctness or completeness of any statement, information or particulars furnished to
the RBI. RBI in the past issued observations pursuant to such periodic inspection and our Company had given
clarifications in this regard. For example, RBI has in the past in its inspection reports, highlighted certain alleged
deficiencies such as reduction in the asset quality of our Company, improper monitoring of delegation of powers
25
by the Board, mobilization of resources in excess of limits, breach of prescribed limits for issuance of commercial
papers, deficiency in credit portfolio and shortcomings in complying with the corporate governance requirements.
While we have responded to such observations and addressed them, we cannot assure you that the RBI will not
make similar or other observations in the future. In the event we are unable to resolve the issues to the RBI’s
satisfaction, we may be restricted in our ability to conduct our business as we currently do. While we seek to
comply with all regulatory provisions applicable to us, in the event we are unable to comply with the observations
made by the RBI, we could be subject to penalties and restrictions which may be imposed by the RBI. Imposition
of any penalty or adverse findings by the RBI during the ongoing or any future inspections may have an adverse
effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation.
21. We may not be in compliance with relevant state money lending laws, which could adversely affect our
business. In the event that any state government requires us to comply with the provisions of their
respective state money lending laws, or imposes any penalty, including for prior non-compliance, our
business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. There is ambiguity on
whether or not NBFCs are required to comply with the provisions of state money lending laws that establish
ceilings on interest rates.
There is ambiguity on whether or not NBFCs are required to comply with the provisions of state money lending
laws that establish ceilings on interest rates. The Government of Kerala has mandated us to register under the
Kerala Moneylending Act, 1946. Further, the Government of Karnataka has also cancelled the exemption granted
to NBFCs from Karnataka Money Lenders Act. We also carry out operations in other states where there are
money lending laws in operation. In addition, in the event the provisions of any state specific laws or regulations
are extended to NBFCs, we could have increased costs of compliance and our business and operations could be
adversely affected, particularly if low interest rate ceiling norms are imposed on our operations. In the event that
any state government requires us to comply with the provisions of their respective state money lending laws, or
imposes any penalty against us, our Directors or our officers, including for prior non-compliance, our business,
results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
22. We may not be able to successfully consolidate and expand our product portfolio.
We intend to consolidate and expand our product portfolio as part of our growth strategy. As per our Consolidated
Financial Statements, as of March 31, 2020, our assets under our management product portfolio comprised heavy
commercial vehicles, light commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles, tractors, business loans and other loans,
which constituted 46.13 %, 23.47 %, 22.03 %, 2.90 %, 2.34 % and 3.13 %, respectively, of our total AUM.
We cannot assure that such diversification or expansion of operations will in future yield and/or continue to yield
favourable or expected results, including acceptance of any new products/ services and/or business ventures by
customers, as our overall profitability and success will be subject to various factors, including, among others, our
ability to obtain necessary statutory and/or regulatory approvals and licences, our ability to effectively recruit,
retain and motivate appropriate managerial talent and ability to compete with banks and other NBFCs that are
already well established in this market segment, as well as our ability to effectively absorb additional infrastructure
costs. Failure of diversification or expansion may result in our inability to recover pre-operative expenses and
launch costs.
Further, current spread of the COVID-19 is adversely affecting, and is expected to continue to adversely affect,
our operations, business, liquidity, profitability and cash flows and a sustained economic slowdown may impact
our ability to successfully sustain our growth strategy.
23. Our results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 may be declared during or immediately at the end of the
Issue Period. Due to the impact of the pandemic induced lockdown our results for the quarter ended June
30, 2020 is not likely to be comparable to our financial results for previous periods. The Company will not
be required to amend or update the disclosures in this Letter of Offer for such financial results, though
these results may constitute material updates.
In accordance with the provisions of the Listing Regulations, we are required to disclose our quarterly financial
results within 45 days from the end of every quarter. The Issue Closing Date is currently estimated to be July 30,
2020 and Allotment is estimated to happen on or around August 11, 2020. Accordingly, our results for the quarter
ended June 30, 2020 are expected to be published shortly after the Allotment Date. In the event of any extension
in the Issue Closing Date, which shall not result in the Issue Period exceeding 30 days, our Company will be
required to publish our results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 during such extended Issue Period.
26
The disclosures in our Letter of Offer shall stand modified in their entirety by the results for the quarter ended
June 30, 2020, although our Company, our Directors, Promoters, the Lead Managers or any other person
associated with the Issue shall not be obligated to update or amend the disclosures contained in this Letter of Offer
in any manner for the financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
Additionally, on account of the COVID-19 induced lockdown, our financial results for the quarter ended June 30,
2020 will not be comparable to our historical financial results, including for similar periods in prior years.
Accordingly, any reliance on such past results should be limited. Further, our results for the quarter ended June
30, 2020 are subjected to limited review by our Joint Statutory Auditors, but are not audited. Accordingly, these
may be subject to further change, when subjected to audit at the end of the financial year.
24. Our Joint Statutory Auditors have provided a matter of emphasis relating to the Financial Statements of
our Company. We cannot assure you whether such matter of emphasis will not arise in the future.
Our Joint Statutory Auditors have included a matter of emphasis in their report to the Financial Statements. The
Joint Statutory Auditors have drawn attention to the classification of assets as on March 31, 2020 with respect to
the accounts which were overdue but standard as on February 29, 2020 and to whom moratorium benefit had been
granted. For details, see “Financial Statements” on page 99. Investors should consider these matters in evaluating
our financial position, cash flows and results of operations. There is no assurance that our auditors’ reports for
any future Fiscal periods will not contain such matters of emphasis.
25. Our loan portfolio may no longer continue to be classified as priority sector advances by the RBI.
The RBI currently mandates commercial banks operating in India, including foreign banks with more than 20
branches in India to maintain an aggregate 40 % of adjusted net bank credit or a credit equivalent amount of off-
balance-sheet exposure, whichever is higher as “priority sector advances”. These include advances to agriculture,
micro and small enterprises (including SRTOs, which constitute the largest proportion of our loan portfolio),
micro enterprises within the micro and small enterprises sector, export credit, and advances to weaker sections
where the Government seeks to encourage flow of credit for developmental reasons. Banks in India that have
traditionally been constrained or unable to meet these requirements organically have relied on specialised
institutions such as us that are better positioned to or exclusively focus on originating such assets through on-
lending or purchase of assets or securitised and assigned pools to comply with these targets. We believe our
securitised and assigned asset pools are particularly attractive to these banks as such transactions provide them
with an avenue to increase their asset base through low-cost investments and limited risk.
In the event that any part of our loan portfolio is no longer classified as a priority sector advance by the RBI, or if
the commercial banks directly start providing ‘priority sector advances’, or if the laws relating to priority sector
lending as applicable to the banks undergo a change, our ability to securitise our asset pool will be hampered,
which may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows. While scheduled
commercial banks may still choose to lend to NBFCs they may charge higher rates to do so because these loans
no longer count towards their priority sector lending requirements. This may lead to an increase in the rates at
which such loans have historically been offered to us, thus increasing our borrowing costs and adversely affecting
our financial condition and results of operation.
As a result of these developments, our access to funds and the cost of our capital may be adversely affected and
to the extent we are unable to secure replacement funding at similar cost or at all, our results of operations could
be adversely affected.
26. We may experience difficulties in expanding our business into new regions and markets in India.
As part of our growth strategy, we continue to evaluate attractive growth opportunities to expand our business
into new regions and markets in India. Factors such as competition, culture, regulatory regimes, business practices
and customs and customer requirements in these new markets may differ from those in our current markets, and
our experience in our current markets may not be applicable to these new markets. In addition, as we enter new
markets and geographical regions, we are likely to compete not only with other banks and financial institutions
but also the local unorganised or semi-organised private financiers, who are more familiar with local regulations,
business practices and customs, and have stronger relationships with customers. In particular, some of our
competitors may have operational advantages in terms of access to broader knowledge sources and client base
and implementation of newer technologies and rationalizing related operational costs.
27
As on March 31, 2020, we had 1,758 branches, including 844 branches in rural centres. If we were to expand our
branch network further, any such expansion may be hit by challenges localized to such centres, including any
political instability, terrorism or military conflict in these regions, occurrence of natural or man-made disasters,
infectious disease outbreaks or other serious public health concerns, dependence on adequate monsoon and lower
employment opportunities compared to urban areas. If we grow our branch network and presence too rapidly or
fail to make proper assessments of credit risks associated with new borrowers, a higher percentage of our loans
may become non-performing, which would have a negative impact on the quality of our assets and our financial
condition.
If we plan to expand our geographical footprint, our business may be exposed to various additional challenges,
including: obtaining necessary governmental approvals; identifying and collaborating with local business and
partners with whom we may have no previous working relationship; successfully gauging market conditions in
local markets with which we have no previous familiarity; attracting potential customers in a market in which we
do not have significant experience or visibility; being susceptible to local taxation in additional geographical areas
of India; and adapting our marketing strategy and operations to different regions of India in which different
languages are spoken. Our inability to expand our current operations may adversely affect our business prospects,
financial conditions, results of operations and/or cash flows.
27. If we are unable to successfully expand, maintain or leverage our arrangements with private financiers
involved in commercial vehicle financing, our business prospects, results of operations, financial
conditions and/or cash flows may be adversely affected.
Our revenue sharing arrangements with private financiers involved in commercial vehicle financing across India
is an integral part of our growth strategy. As of March 31, 2020, we have entered into strategic agreements with
1,160 private financiers ranging from individual financiers and small local private financiers, including other
NBFCs, to capitalise on their local knowledge, infrastructure and personnel base of our partners in order to source
new customers. The revenue-sharing arrangements are at pre-determined amounts. For further information on our
revenue sharing arrangements, see “Our Business – Our Company’s Operations – Revenue Sharing Agreements
with Private Financiers” on page 85.
There can be no assurance that the other party will comply with the procedural and other conditions specified by
us in connection with our arrangements with them in the context of customer origination, the credit appraisal
process, loan administration and monitoring and any loan recovery processes, or that our partners will not act in
any manner that could adversely affect our reputation, brand, customer relationships or business interests. For
example, we have in the past experienced certain instances of fraud by some parties. There can also be no
assurance that we will be able to leverage and benefit from these arrangements to effectively source a sufficient
volume of new customers and business commensurate to the revenue-sharing and other incentives provided to our
partners under our arrangements with them. Further, our financers or the personnel they employ may be engaged
in unethical or unlawful behaviour or they may misrepresent or mis-sell our products and services. Due to this,
we may also suffer from reputational and legal risks and these actions may materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, we may not be able to identify suitable private financiers in the future with whom we can successfully
work through such arrangements, or in joint marketing and customer support activities, and there can be no
assurance that we will be able to ensure any level of success with such arrangements for any sustained period of
time. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that there will not be any dispute with the other parties the
arrangements in the future. If we are unable to successfully expand, maintain or leverage our arrangements and
relationship with the parties to the arrangements, our business prospects, results of operations, financial conditions
and/or cash flows may be adversely affected.
28. A decline in our capital adequacy ratio could restrict our future business growth.
All deposit taking NBFCs are required to maintain a minimum capital adequacy ratio, consisting of Tier I and
Tier II capital, of not less than 15 % of its aggregate risk-weighted assets on balance sheet and risk- adjusted value
of off-balance sheet items. Our capital adequacy ratio computed on the basis of applicable RBI requirements was
21.99% as of March 31, 2020 with Tier I capital comprising 18.13% If we continue to grow our loan portfolio
and asset base, we will be required to raise additional Tier I and Tier II capital in order to continue to meet
applicable capital adequacy ratios with respect to our business. Any difficulty in accessing funds required for Tier
I and Tier II capital, including accessing capital markets could result in decline of our capital adequacy ratio.
Further any regulatory change to the capital adequacy ratio requirements shall also have an adverse effect on our
growth as we may have to raise further capital to maintain the required capital adequacy ratio. There can be no
28
assurance that we will be able to raise adequate additional capital in the future on terms favourable to us or at all,
and this may adversely affect the growth of our business.
29. As part of our business strategy, we assign or securitise a substantial portion of our loan assets to banks
and other institutions. Any deterioration in the performance of any pool of receivables assigned or
securitised to banks and other institutions may adversely impact our financial performance and/or cash
flows.
As part of our means of raising and/or managing our funds, we assign or securitise a substantial portion of the
receivables from our loan portfolio to banks and other institutions. Such assignment or securitisation transactions
are conducted on the basis of our internal estimates of our funding requirements, which may vary from time to
time. In Fiscals 2019 and 2020, our securitised and assigned assets at book value was Rs. 151,230.58 million and
Rs. 165,811.25 million, respectively. Any change in statutory and/or regulatory requirements in relation to
assignments or securitisations by financial institutions, including the requirements prescribed by RBI and the
Government of India, could have an adverse impact on our assignment or securitisation transactions. The
commercial viability of assignment and securitization transactions has been significantly affected by changes and
developments relating to regulation governing such transactions. Such changes include:
• prohibition on carrying out securitization/ assignment transactions at rates lower than the prescribed base rate
of the bank;
• prohibition on NBFCs such as our Company from offering credit enhancements in any form and liquidity
facilities in the case of loan transfers through direct assignment of cash flows;
• minimum holding period or ‘seasoning’ and minimum retention requirements of assignment and
securitization loans; and
• securitization/ assignments shall be eligible for classification under priority sector only if the interest rate
charged to the ultimate borrower by the originating entity does not exceed base rate of such bank plus 8% per
annum.
Any adverse changes in the policy and/or regulations in connection with securitisation of assets by NBFCs and/or
new circulars and/or directions issued by the RBI in this regard, affecting NBFCs or the purchasers of assets,
would affect the securitisation market in general and our ability to securitise and/or assign our assets.
The aggregate credit enhancement amounts outstanding as of March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was Rs.
42,994.06 million and Rs. 35,921.23 million, respectively. For such transactions, in the event that a relevant bank
or institution does not realise the receivables due under such loan assets, such bank or institution would have
recourse to such credit enhancement, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations,
financial condition and/or cash flows.
30. System failures or inadequacy and security breaches in computer systems may adversely affect our
business.
Our business is increasingly dependent on our ability to process, on a daily basis, a large number of transactions.
Our financial, accounting or other data processing systems may fail to operate adequately or become disabled as
a result of events that are wholly or partially beyond our control, including a disruption of electrical or
communications services.
Our ability to operate and remain competitive will depend in part on our ability to maintain and upgrade our
information technology systems on a timely and cost-effective basis. The information available to and received
by our management through our existing systems may not be timely and sufficient to manage risks or to plan for
and respond to changes in market conditions and other developments in our operations. We may experience
difficulties in upgrading, developing and expanding our systems quickly enough to accommodate our growing
customer base and range of products.
Our operations also rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other information
in our computer systems and networks. Our computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to
unauthorised access, computer viruses or other malicious codes and other events that could compromise data
integrity and security.
Any failure to effectively maintain or improve or upgrade our management information systems in a timely
manner could materially and adversely affect our competitiveness, financial position and results of operations.
Moreover, if any of these systems do not operate properly or are disabled or if there are other shortcomings or
failures in our internal processes or systems, it could affect our operations or result in financial loss, disruption of
29
our businesses, regulatory intervention or damage to our reputation. In addition, our ability to conduct business
may be adversely impacted by a disruption in the infrastructure that supports our businesses and the geographical
areas in which we are located.
31. Some of our Directors may have interests in entities, which are in businesses similar to ours and this may
result in conflicts of interest with us.
As on the date of this Letter of Offer, some of our Directors also have interests, as directors or shareholders in
other entities engaged in the financial services space such as banks or other NBFCs, including certain of our
related parties. There can be no assurance that such Directors will not be subject to conflicts of interest or that we
will be able to deal with such conflicts of interest in a timely manner.
Further, commercial transactions in the future between us and related parties may result in conflicting interests
which could have an adverse effect on our operations. Such factors may have an adverse effect on the results of
our operations and financial condition.
32. We may not be able to maintain our current levels of profitability due to increased costs or reduced spreads.
Our business strategy involves a relatively high level of on-going interaction with our customers. We believe that
this involvement is an important part of developing our relationship with our customers, identifying new cross
selling opportunities and monitoring our performance. However, this level of involvement also entails higher
levels of costs and also requires a relatively higher gross spread, or margin, on the finance products we offer in
order to maintain profitability. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current levels of
profitability if the gross spreads on our finance products were to reduce substantially, which could adversely affect
our results of operations and/or cash flows.
33. We have certain contingent liabilities which may adversely affect our financial condition.
As per our Consolidated Financial Statements, as of March 31, 2020, we had certain contingent liabilities not
provided for, which included a contingent liability as per Indian Accounting Standard 37 in respect of income tax
demands where the Company has filed an appeal before various authorities of Rs. 1,336.35 million, VAT demand
where the Company has filed an appeal before various appellate courts aggregating Rs. 1,172.15 million, a service
tax demand where the Company has filed appeal before various authorities for Rs. 3,259.94 million and penalty
levied for contravention of the provisions of FEMA aggregating Rs. 50.00 million. In the event that any of these
contingent liabilities materialise, our financial condition may be adversely affected. Further, in the event there is
a change in any statutory/ regulatory requirement with respect to contingent liabilities, our Company may be
required to make additional provisions to meet the revised criteria which may have an adverse effect on our
financial condition and profitability.
34. The trademark/service mark and logo in connection with the “Shriram” brand which we use is licensed to
us and consequently, any termination or non-renewal of such license may adversely affect our goodwill,
operations and profitability. Further, our current logo which we are using and as included in this Letter
of Offer is not registered. Our inability to register such logo and/or to adequately protect the same may
adversely affect our goodwill, operations and profitability.
Pursuant to a license agreement dated November 21, 2014 between our Company and Shriram Ownership Trust
(“SOT”), as amended in terms of agreement dated March 18, 2016 and novated in terms of the deed of novation
cum amendment dated May 17, 2019 entered into between our Company, SOT and Shriram Value Services
Limited (“SVS”), we are entitled to use the brand name “Shriram” and the associated mark. In this regard, our
Company had to pay royalty to SOT until September 30, 2019 and currently to SVS (since SOT had gifted all its
intellectual property in the brand name “Shriram” and its associated marks to SVS, the royalty for the same
commencing from September 30, 2019 is payable to SVS) on the gross turnover of our Company. Along with the
royalty, our Company also was required to pay to SOT (until September 30, 2019) and now SVS (commencing
from September 30, 2019) amounts by way of reimbursement of actual expenses incurred by SOT / SVS in respect
of protection and defence of the copyright. The license agreement is valid until September 30, 2024, after which
the agreement will be automatically renewed for a further period of five years on the same terms, unless otherwise
decided by both parties or upon occurrence of a breach by either party of the material terms of the license
arrangement. The agreement is not terminable unless mutually agreed by both parties.
In the event such license agreement is terminated or is not renewed or extended in the future, we may not be
entitled to use the brand name “Shriram” and the associated mark in connection with our business operations.
30
Consequently, we will not be able to derive the goodwill that we have been enjoying under the “Shriram” brand.
Further, if the commercial terms and conditions including the consideration payable pursuant to the said agreement
are revised unfavourably, our Company may be required to allocate larger portions of its profits and/or revenues
towards such consideration, which would adversely affect our profitability.
Further, our current logo which we are using and as included in this Letter of Offer is not registered and we have
not applied for registration of the same with the relevant trademark authorities. Our inability to register such logo
and/or to adequately protect the same may adversely affect our goodwill, operations and profitability.
We operate in a competitive environment, and we believe that our brand recognition is a significant competitive
advantage to us. If the license and user agreement is not renewed or terminated, we may need to change our name,
trade mark/service mark or the logo. Any such change could require us to incur additional costs and may adversely
impact our goodwill, business prospects and results of operations.
35. Any adverse impact on the ‘Shriram’ brand may have an impact on the benefits accruing to us from the
use of the brand resulting in an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
We benefit from our relationship with ‘Shriram’ group in many ways, such as reputation and experience. We
believe that ‘Shriram’ brand is perceived to be that of a trusted provider of quality products and services. Our
growth and future success are influenced, in part, by our continued relationship with the ‘Shriram’ group. If we
cease to benefit from these relationships for any reason, our business and growth prospects may decline, and our
business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
We cannot assure you that the established ‘Shriram’ brand name will not be adversely affected in the future by
events such as actions that are beyond our control, including customer complaints and dissatisfaction or adverse
publicity from any other source. Negative public opinion about the financial services industry generally or about
the ‘Shriram’ brand name, if not immediately and sufficiently remedied, can have an adverse effect on our business
and results of operations.
36. We depend on our brand reputation and our failure to maintain our product image could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We believe that the reputation of our brand among customers as a reliable company has contributed significantly
to the growth and success of our business. Maintaining and enhancing the recognition and reputation of our
products are, therefore, critical to our business and competitiveness. Many factors, some of which are beyond our
control, are important to maintaining and enhancing our product image. These factors include our ability to
maintain the reliability and quality of the services we offer and increase product awareness through brand building
initiatives. A public perception that we do not provide satisfactory products, even if factually incorrect or based
on isolated incidents, could damage our reputation, undermine the trust and credibility we have established for
our stakeholders including investors, lenders, customers and have a negative impact on our ability to attract new
consumers or retain our current consumers.
37. Inability to assess, monitor and manage risks inherent in our business and respond to technological and
sectoral changes may adversely impact our results of operations and profitability.
We are exposed to a variety of risks, including liquidity risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, operational risk and
regulatory risks. The effectiveness of our risk management is limited by the quality and timeliness of available
data.
Our hedging strategies and other risk management techniques may not be fully effective in mitigating our risks in
all market environments or against all types of risk, including risks that are unidentified or unanticipated. Some
methods of managing risks are based upon observed historical market behaviour. As a result, these methods may
not predict future risk exposures, which could be greater than the historical measures indicated. Other risk
management methods depend upon an evaluation of information regarding markets, customers or other matters.
This information may not in all cases be accurate, complete, current or properly evaluated. Management of
operational, legal or regulatory risk requires, among other things, policies and procedures to properly record and
verify a number of transactions and events. Although we have established these policies and procedures, they may
not be fully effective.
We have devoted significant resources to developing our risk management policies and procedures and expect to
continue to do so in the future. Despite this, our policies and procedures to identify, monitor and manage risks
31
may not be fully effective. Some of our methods of managing risk are based upon the use of observed historical
market. As a result, these methods may not accurately predict future risk exposures which could be significantly
greater than indicated by the historical measures. As we seek to expand the scope of our operations, we also face
the risk of inability to develop risk management policies and procedures that are properly designed for those new
business areas in a timely manner. Implementation and monitoring may prove particularly challenging with
respect to businesses that we have recently initiated. Inability to develop and implement effective risk management
policies may adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to respond to new technological advances and evolving
NBFC and vehicle finance sector standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis. The development
and implementation of such technology entails significant technical and business risks. There can be no assurance
that we will successfully implement new technologies or adapt our transaction-processing systems to customer
requirements or evolving market standards. Failure to adapt to new technologies and sectoral preferences in a
timely manner or at all, may adversely impact out profitability and results of operations.
38. We will continue to be controlled by our Promoter after the completion of the Issue
After the completion of the Issue, our Promoter will continue to exercise control over us, including being able to
influence the composition of our Board and influence matters requiring shareholder approval. Our Promoter may
take or block actions, which Promoter, may believe to be in the interest of our Company but may conflict with the
interests of our minority shareholders. Through its influence, our Promoter may be in a position to delay, defer or
cause a change of our control or a change in our capital structure, delay, defer or cause a merger, consolidation,
takeover or other business combination involving us, discourage or encourage a potential acquirer from making a
tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.
We have entered into transactions with certain related parties. While we believe that all such transactions have
been conducted on an arm’s length basis, we cannot assure you that we could not have obtained more favourable
terms had such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties. Such transactions may give rise to current or
potential conflicts of interest with respect to dealings between us and such related parties. Additionally, there can
be no assurance that any dispute that may arise between us and related parties will be resolved in our favour.
40. Any failure by us to identify, manage, complete and integrate acquisitions, divestitures and other
significant transactions successfully could adversely affect our results of operations, business prospects
and/or cash flows.
As part of our business strategy, we may acquire complementary companies or businesses, divest non- core
businesses or assets, sale or dispose of any unit(s) or division(s), enter into strategic alliances and joint ventures
and make investments/disinvestments to further our business or any other restructuring. In order to pursue this
strategy successfully, we must identify suitable candidates for successfully completing such transactions, some of
which may be large and complex, and manage the integration of acquired companies or employees. We may not
fully realise all of the anticipated benefits of any such transaction within the anticipated timeframe or at all. Any
increased or unexpected costs, unanticipated delays or failure to achieve contractual obligations could make such
transactions less profitable or unprofitable. Managing business combination and investment transactions requires
varying levels of management resources, which may divert our attention from other business operations, and may
result in significant costs and expenses and charges to earnings. The challenges involved in integration include:
• combining product offerings and entering into new markets in which we are not experienced;
• consolidating and maintaining relationships with customers;
• consolidating and rationalising transaction processes and corporate and information technology
infrastructure;
• integrating employees and managing employee issues;
• coordinating and combining administrative and other operations and relationships with third parties in
accordance with applicable laws and other obligations while maintaining adequate standards, controls and
procedures;
• achieving savings from infrastructure integration; and
• managing other business, infrastructure and operational integration issues.
41. Our success depends in large part upon our management team and key personnel and our ability to attract,
train and retain such persons.
32
Our ability to sustain our rate of growth depends significantly upon our ability to manage key issues such as
selecting and retaining key managerial personnel, developing managerial experience to address emerging
challenges and ensuring a high standard of client service. In order to be successful, we must attract, train, motivate
and retain highly skilled employees, especially branch managers and relationship executives. If we cannot hire
additional qualified personnel or retain them, our ability to expand our business will be impaired and our revenue
could decline. We will need to recruit new employees, who will have to be trained and integrated into our
operations. We will also have to train existing employees to adhere properly to internal controls and risk
management procedures. Failure to train and motivate our employees properly may result in an increase in
employee attrition rates, require additional hiring, erode the quality of customer service, divert management
resources, increase our exposure to high-risk credit and impose significant costs on us. Hiring and retaining
qualified and skilled managers are critical to our future, as our business model depends on our credit appraisal and
asset valuation mechanism, which are personnel-driven operations. Moreover, competition for experienced
employees in the commercial vehicle finance sector can be intense. While we have an incentive, structure designed
to encourage employee retention, our inability to attract and retain talented professionals, or the resignation or
loss of key management personnel, may have an adverse impact on our business, future financial performance
and/or cash flows.
42. Most of the properties used by our Company are occupied by our Company on lease and/or as shared office
space. Any termination or failure to renew the lease(s) or the other agreements in connection with such
properties or our failure to renew the same, in a timely manner or at all, could adversely affect our
activities.
Currently, most of the properties used by our Company for the purposes of our business activities, including the
premises where the registered office of our Company is located, are not owned by us. Termination of leases or
other relevant agreements in connection with such properties which are not owned by us or our failure to renew
the same, on favourable conditions, in a timely manner, or at all, could require us to vacate such premises at short
notice, and could adversely affect our operations, financial condition and profitability.
43. We are exposed to fluctuations in the market values of our investment and other asset portfolio.
Deterioration of the credit and capital markets could result in volatility of our investment earnings and
impairments to our investment and asset portfolio, which could negatively impact our financial condition and
reported income.
44. Being in the service industry, our operations may be adversely affected if we are unable to attract and
retain qualified employees or if relations with employees deteriorate.
As of March 31, 2020, had 28,045 employees. Currently, none of our employees are members of any labour union.
While we believe that we maintain good relationships with our employees, there can be no assurance that we will
not experience future disruptions to our operations due to disputes or other problems with our work force, which
may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
45. Our inability to obtain, renew or maintain our statutory and regulatory permits and approvals required to
operate our business may have a material adverse effect on our business.
We require certain statutory and/or regulatory permits and approvals for our business, including approvals in
relation to our branch offices and other offices. In the future, we will be required to renew such permits and
approvals and obtain new permits and approvals for any proposed operations. There can be no assurance that the
relevant authorities will issue any of such permits or approvals in a timely manner or at all and/or on favourable
terms and conditions. Failure by us to comply with the terms and conditions to which such permits or approvals
are subject and/or to renew, maintain or obtain the required permits or approvals may result in the interruption of
our operations and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
46. Any changes in the statutory and/or regulatory requirements in connection with taxation could adversely
affect our operations, profitability and cashflows.
The operations, profitability and cash flows could be adversely affected by any unfavourable changes in central
and state-level statutory and/or regulatory requirements in connection with direct and indirect taxes and duties,
including income tax, goods and service tax and/or by any unfavourable interpretation taken by the relevant
taxation authorities and/or courts and tribunals. For example, the GST implemented with effect from July 1, 2017
33
has replaced the indirect taxes on goods and services, such as central excise duty, service tax, central sales tax,
state value added tax, surcharge and excise, collected by the central and state governments. The GST has increased
administrative compliance for the Companies which is a consequence of increased registration and form filing
requirements.
47. Differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as IFRS and Indian GAAP, which
may be material to investors' assessments of our financial condition.
Our Company has prepared the annual financial statements under Ind AS for the Fiscal 2020 as required under
Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013. From April 1, 2018, the Company has computed key parameters
including capital adequacy ratio, risk weighted assets, net owned fund, gross Stage 3 Assets, provision for non-
performing assets derived from the financial statement prepared in accordance with Ind AS. The impact of
transition has been recorded in the opening reserves as at April 1, 2017 and the corresponding figures, presented
in the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2018, have been
restated/reclassified. Our historical financial statements relating to any period prior to Fiscal 2019 may not be
comparable to the audited consolidated and standalone financial statements prepared under Ind AS. Ind AS and
other accounting standards like IFRS differ in certain respects including first time adoption choices available.
48. Our insurance coverage may not adequately protect us against losses.
We maintain such insurance coverage as we believe is adequate for our operations. Our insurance policies,
however, may not provide adequate coverage in certain circumstances and are subject to certain deductibles,
exclusions and limits on coverage. We maintain general liability insurance coverage, including coverage for errors
or omissions. We cannot, however, assure you that the terms of our insurance policies will be adequate to cover
any damage or loss suffered by us or that such coverage will continue to be available on reasonable terms or will
be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims, or that the insurer will not disclaim coverage
as to any future claim.
A successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceeds our available insurance coverage or
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.
49. We may not be able to detect money laundering and other illegal or improper activities fully or on a timely
basis, which could expose us to additional liability and harm our business or reputation.
We are required to comply with applicable anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws and other regulations
in India. In the course of our operations, we run the risk of failing to comply with the prescribed KYC procedures
and the consequent risk of fraud and money laundering by dishonest customers, despite putting in place systems
and controls to prevent the occurrence of these risks. In certain of our activities and in our pursuit of business, we
run the risk of inadvertently offering our financial products and services ignoring customer suitability and
appropriateness, despite having a Board-approved customer suitability policy and associated processes in place.
Such incidents may adversely affect our business and our reputation. Although our Company believes that it has
adequate internal policies, processes and controls in place to prevent and detect any activity that would fall foul
of AML provisions and to ensure KYC compliance, there can be no assurance that our Company will be able to
fully control instances of any potential or attempted violation by other parties and may accordingly be subject to
regulatory actions including imposition of fines and other penalties. We may accordingly be subject to regulatory
actions including imposition of fines and other penalties by the RBI and other relevant governmental authorities
to whom we report.
50. Our ability to pay dividends will depend on our future earnings, cash flows, working, capital requirements,
financial condition, and restrictive covenants under our financing arrangement.
Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends will be decided by our Board and will
be subject to the discretion of the Shareholders. The amount of our future dividend payments, if any, will depend
on various factors such as our future earnings, cash flows, financial condition, working capital requirements,
capital expenditures, restrictive covenants under our financing documents and in accordance with applicable laws.
We may decide to retain all of our earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business and,
therefore, may not declare dividends on the Equity Shares. The amounts paid as dividends in the past are not
necessarily indicative of our Company’s dividend policy or the dividend amounts, if any, in the future. There is
no guarantee that any dividends will be paid or that the amount thereof will not be decreased in the future.
34
51. Security breaches of customers’ confidential information that we store may expose us to liability and harm
our reputation.
As part of our business, we store and have access to customers’ bank information, credit information and other
sensitive data. Any accidental security breaches or other unauthorized access to confidential information could
expose us to liability related to the loss of the information, legal proceedings and negative publicity. While there
have been no such incidents in the past, security measures could be breached by third party actions, intrusion into
our software due to flaw in the software by hackers, due to employee error and malfeasance. In addition, we may
be required under applicable regulations to notify individuals of data security breaches involving their personal
data. Any security breach may cause our customers to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our data security
measures, and in turn have an adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition or cash flows.
External Risks
52. Changes in environmental or other laws may lead to a decline in the sale of vehicles, which could adversely
affect our business, results of operations and prospects.
Our Company is engaged in vehicle financing across various states in India. Any regulation passed by either the
central Government or any of the state Governments, or any orders of judiciary to ban the sale of a particular
segment of vehicles or impose additional taxes on any particular segment of vehicles, could lead to a decline in
the sales of such vehicles. For example, the Supreme Court of India imposed a ban on the sale of vehicles not
complying with Bharat Emission Standards IV. Such regulatory amendments or orders of the judiciary may lead
to a decline in our disbursements and adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects.
53. Any slowdown in economic growth in India may adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
Our financial performance and the quality and growth of our business depend significantly on the health of the
overall Indian economy, the gross domestic product growth rate and the economic cycle in India. All our assets
and employees are located in India, and we intend to continue to develop and expand reach in all parts of the
country depending upon the business opportunities. Further, economic developments outside India also adversely
affect the Indian economy. Accordingly, our business is affected by domestic and international economic
conditions, including rates of economic growth and the impact that such economic conditions have on consumer
spending.
As an NBFC, we are exposed to the risks of the Indian financial system which may be affected by the financial
difficulties faced by certain Indian financial institutions because the commercial soundness of many financial
institutions. This risk, which is sometimes referred to as “systemic risk”, may adversely affect financial
intermediaries, such as banks with whom we interact. Any such difficulties or instability of the Indian financial
system in general could create an adverse market perception about Indian financial institutions and banks and
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. As the Indian financial system operates
within an emerging market, it faces risks of a nature and extent not typically faced in more developed economies.
Our performance and the growth of our business depends on the performance of the Indian economy and the
economies of the regional markets we currently serve. These economies could be adversely affected by various
factors, such as political and regulatory changes including adverse changes in liberalization policies, social
disturbances, religious or communal tensions, terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war, natural calamities,
interest rates, commodity and energy prices and various other factors. Any slowdown in these economies could
adversely affect the ability of our customers to afford our services, which in turn would adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
The current economic downturn has led to an increased level of consumer delinquencies, lack of consumer
confidence, decreased market valuations and liquidity, increased market volatility and a widespread reduction of
business activity generally, may enhance market volatility. The resulting economic pressure and dampened
consumer sentiment may adversely affect our business and our results of operations.
There can be no assurances that government responses to the disruptions in the financial markets will restore
consumer confidence, the markets or increase liquidity and the availability of credit. Continuation or worsening
of this downturn or general economic conditions may have an adverse effect on our business, liquidity and results
of operations.
35
54. A decline in India’s foreign exchange reserves may affect liquidity and interest rates in the Indian
economy, which could adversely impact us.
One of the direct adverse impacts of the global financial crisis on India has been the reversal of capital inflows
and a decline in exports, leading to pressures on the balance of payments and a sharp depreciation of the Indian
Rupee vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar. Any increased intervention by the RBI in the foreign exchange market to control
the volatility of the exchange rate may result in a decline in India’s foreign exchange reserves and reduced liquidity
and higher interest rates in the Indian economy, which could adversely affect our business and our future financial
performance.
55. Any downgrading of India’s debt rating by an international rating agency could adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
Any adverse revision to India’s credit rating for domestic and international debt by international rating agencies
may adversely impact our ability to raise additional finances at favourable interest rates and other commercial
terms. For example, Fitch Ratings has recently revised the outlook on India’s sovereign ratings from stable to
negative, while Moody’s Investors Services has downgraded foreign currency and local currency long term issuer
ratings to Baa3. This could have an adverse effect on our growth, financial performance and our operations.
56. Civil unrest, acts of violence, including terrorism or war involving India and other countries, could
materially and adversely affect the financial markets and our business.
Civil unrest, acts of violence, including terrorism or war, may negatively affect the Indian stock markets and also
materially and adversely affect the worldwide financial markets. These acts may also result in a loss of business
confidence, make travel and other services more difficult and ultimately materially and adversely affect our
business. Although the governments of India and neighboring countries have recently been engaged in conciliatory
efforts, any deterioration in relations between India and neighboring countries might result in investor concern
about stability in the region, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
57. Our business may be adversely impacted by natural calamities, unfavourable climatic changes, health
epidemics or pandemics.
Natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, famines and droughts have in the past had a negative impact on the
Indian economy. Further, health epidemics and pandemics like the recent COVID-19 pandemic have also affected
the Indian economy negatively. If any such natural disaster, unfavourable climatic changes or health epidemics
and pandemics were to occur, our business could be affected due to the event itself or due to the inability to
effectively manage the effects of the particular event.
Our operations, including our branch network, may be damaged or disrupted as a result of political instability,
natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, heavy rainfall, epidemics, tsunamis and cyclones and other events
such as protests, riots and labour unrest. Such events may lead to the disruption of information systems and
telecommunication services for sustained periods. They also may make it difficult or impossible for employees to
reach our business locations. Damage or destruction that interrupts our provision of services could adversely affect
our reputation, our relationships with our customers, our senior management team’s ability to administer and
supervise our business or it may cause us to incur substantial additional expenditure to repair or replace damaged
equipment or rebuild parts of our branch network. Any of the above factors may adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
58. 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
central and state taxes and other levies, income tax, value added tax, turnover tax, service tax, stamp duty and
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. The
statutory corporate income tax in India, which includes a surcharge on the tax and an education cess on the tax
and the surcharge, may range up to 25.168 % The central or state government may in the future further 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.
36
59. Investors may have difficulty enforcing foreign judgments in India against our Company or our
management.
Our Company is a limited liability public company incorporated under the laws of India. Most of our Company’s
directors and executive officers named herein are residents of India and all or a substantial portion of the assets of
our Company and such persons are located in India. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect
service of process on our Company or such persons in jurisdictions outside of India, or to enforce against them
judgments obtained in courts outside of India. In addition, India is not a party to any international treaty in relation
to the recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments. The manner of recognition and enforcement of foreign
judgments in India is dependent on whether the country in which the foreign judgment has been pronounced is a
reciprocating territory or not. A party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain approval
from the RBI under the FEMA to execute such a judgment or to repatriate outside India any amount recovered
pursuant to execution. Any judgment in a foreign currency would be converted into Indian Rupees on the date of
the judgment and not on the date of the payment. The Issuer cannot predict whether a suit brought in an Indian
court will be disposed of in a timely manner or be subject to considerable delays.
60. Failure to exercise or sell the Rights Entitlements will cause the Rights Entitlements to lapse without
compensation and result in a dilution of shareholding.
The Rights Entitlements that are not exercised prior to the end of the Issue Closing Date will expire and become
null and void, and Eligible Equity Shareholders will not receive any consideration for them. The proportionate
ownership and voting interest in our Company of Eligible Equity Shareholders who fail (or are not able) to exercise
their Rights Entitlements will be diluted. Even if you elect to sell your unexercised Rights Entitlements, the
consideration you receive for them may not be sufficient to fully compensate you for the dilution of your
percentage ownership of the equity share capital of our Company that may be caused as a result of the Issue.
Renouncees may not be able to apply in case of failure in completion of renunciation through off-market transfer
in such a manner that the Rights Entitlements are credited to the demat account of the Renouncees prior to the
Issue Closing Date. Further, in case, the Rights Entitlements do not get credited in time, in case of On Market
Renunciation (the last day for which is July 24, 2020), such Renouncee will not be able to apply in this Issue with
respect to such Rights Entitlements.
61. There may be less information available in the Indian securities markets than in more developed securities
markets in other countries.
There is a difference between the level of regulation and monitoring of the Indian securities markets and that of
the activities of investors, brokers and other participants in securities markets in more developed economies. SEBI
is responsible for monitoring disclosure and other regulatory standards for the Indian securities market. SEBI has
issued regulations and guidelines on disclosure requirements, insider trading and other matters. There may be,
however, less publicly available information about Indian companies than is regularly made available by public
companies in more developed countries, which could adversely affect the market for our Equity Shares. As a
result, investors may have access to less information about our business, financial condition, cash flows and results
of operation, on an ongoing basis, than investors in companies subject to the reporting requirements of other more
developed countries.
62. Our funding requirements and proposed deployment of the Net Proceeds are based on management
estimates and have not been independently appraised and may be subject to change based on various
factors, some of which are beyond our control.
Our funding requirements and deployment of the Net Proceeds are based on internal management estimates based
on current market conditions, and have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution or other independent
agency. Further, in the absence of such independent appraisal, our funding requirements may be subject to change
based on various factors which are beyond our control. For details, see “Objects of the Issue” on page 72.
63. We may, at any time in the future, make further issuances or sales of our Equity Shares, and this may
significantly dilute your future shareholding and affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.
Any future equity issuances by us, may lead to the dilution of investors’ shareholdings in our Company. Any
future equity issuances by us or sales of our Equity Shares by our Promoter or other major shareholders may
37
adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares, which may lead to other adverse consequences for us
including difficulty in raising capital through offering of our Equity Shares or incurring additional debt. In
addition, any perception that such issuance or sales of shares may occur, may lead to dilution of your shareholding,
significantly affect the trading price of our Equity Shares and our ability to raise capital through an issue of our
securities. There can be no assurance that such future issuance by us will be at a price equal to or more than the
Issue Price. Further, there can be no assurance that we will not issue further shares or that the major shareholders
will not dispose of, pledge or otherwise encumber their shares.
64. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of our Equity Shares and
Rights Entitlements.
Under current Indian tax laws and regulations, capital gains arising from the sale of shares in an Indian company
are generally taxable in India. Previously, any gain realised on the sale of listed equity shares on or before March
31, 2018 on a stock exchange held for more than 12 months was not subject to long-term capital gains tax in India
if securities transaction tax (“STT”) was paid on the sale transaction. However, now tax is payable on such long-
term capital gains exceeding ₹1,00,000 arising from sale of equity shares on or after April 1, 2018, while
unrealized capital gains earned up to January 31, 2018 on such Equity Shares are exempted.
Accordingly, you may be subject to payment of long-term capital gains tax in India, in addition to payment of
STT, on the sale of any Equity Shares held for more than 12 months. STT will be levied on and collected by a
domestic stock exchange on which our Equity Shares are sold. Further, any gain realized on the sale of listed
equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less will be subject to short term capital gains tax in India. Capital
gains arising from the sale of our Equity Shares will be exempt from taxation in India in cases where the exemption
from taxation in India is provided under a treaty between India and the country of which the seller is resident.
Generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of
other countries may be liable for tax in India as well as in their own jurisdiction on a gain upon the sale of our
Equity Shares Rights Entitlements.
65. We will not distribute this Letter of Offer, the Abridged Letter of Offer, the Application Form and the
Rights Entitlement Letter to certain categories of overseas shareholders.
In accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, SEBI Rights Issue Circulars and the MCA Circular, our Company
will send, only through email, the Abridged Letter of Offer, the Rights Entitlement Letter, Application Form and
other issue material to the email addresses of all the Eligible Equity Shareholders who have provided their Indian
addresses to our Company or who are located in jurisdictions where the offer and sale of the Rights Equity Shares
is permitted under laws of such jurisdictions. Further, this Letter of Offer will be provided, only through email,
by the Registrars on behalf of our Company or the Lead Managers to the Eligible Equity Shareholders who have
provided their Indian addresses to our Company or who are located in jurisdictions where the offer and sale of the
Rights Equity Shares is permitted under laws of such jurisdictions and in each case who make a request in this
regard. Other than as indicated above, the Issue materials will not be distributed to addresses outside India on
account of restrictions that apply to circulation of such materials in overseas jurisdictions. However, the
Companies Act, 2013 requires companies to serve documents at any address, which may be provided by the
members as well as through e-mail. Presently, there is lack of clarity under the Companies Act, 2013 and the rules
made thereunder with respect to distribution of the Issue materials in overseas jurisdictions where such distribution
may be prohibited under the applicable laws of such jurisdictions. We have requested all the overseas Eligible
Equity Shareholders to provide an address in India and their e-mail addresses for the purposes of distribution of
the Issue materials. However, we cannot assure you that the regulator or authorities would not adopt a different
view with respect to compliance with the Companies Act, 2013 and may subject us to fines or penalties.
66. Applicants to this Issue are not allowed to withdraw their Applications after the Issue Closing Date.
In terms of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, Applicants in this Issue are not allowed to withdraw their Applications
after the Issue Closing Date. The Allotment in this Issue and the credit of such Equity Shares to the Applicant’s
demat account with its depository participant shall be completed within such period as prescribed under the
applicable laws. There is no assurance, however, that material adverse changes in the international or national
monetary, financial, political or economic conditions or other events in the nature of force majeure, material
adverse changes in our business, results of operation or financial condition, or other events affecting the
Applicant’s decision to invest in the Rights Equity Shares, would not arise between the Issue Closing Date and
the date of Allotment in this Issue. Occurrence of any such events after the Issue Closing Date could also impact
the market price of our Equity Shares. The Applicants shall not have the right to withdraw their applications in
the event of any such occurrence. We cannot assure you that the market price of the Equity Shares will not decline
38
below the Issue Price. To the extent the market price for the Equity Shares declines below the Issue Price after the
Issue Closing Date, the shareholder will be required to purchase Rights Equity Shares at a price that will be higher
than the actual market price for the Equity Shares at that time. Should that occur, the shareholder will suffer an
immediate unrealized loss as a result. We may complete the Allotment even if such events may limit the
Applicants’ ability to sell our Equity Shares after this Issue or cause the trading price of our Equity Shares to
decline.
67. You may not receive the Rights Equity Shares that you subscribe in this Issue until 15 days after the date
on which this Issue closes, which will subject you to market risk.
The Rights Equity Shares that you may be Allotted in this Issue may not be credited to your demat account with
the depository participants until approximately 15 days from the Issue Closing Date. You can start trading such
Rights Equity Shares only after receipt of the listing and trading approval in respect thereof. There can be no
assurance that the Rights Equity Shares allocated to you will be credited to your demat account, or that trading in
such Rights Equity Shares will commence within the specified time period, subjecting you to market risk for such
period.
68. The R-WAP payment mechanism facility proposed to be used for this Issue may be exposed to risks,
including risks associated with payment gateways.
In accordance with SEBI circular SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2020/78 dated May 6, 2020, a separate web based
application platform, i.e., the R-WAP facility (accessible at https://rights.kfintech.com/shriram), has been
instituted for making an Application in this Issue by resident Investors. Further, R-WAP is only an additional
option and not a replacement of the ASBA process. On R-WAP, the resident Investors can access and fill the
Application Form in electronic mode and make online payment using the internet banking or UPI facility from
their own bank account thereat. For details, see “Terms of the Issue – Procedure for Application through R-WAP”
on page 411. Such payment gateways and mechanisms are faced with risks such as:
• keeping information technology systems aligned and up to date with the rapidly evolving technology;
• payment services industries;
• scaling up technology infrastructure to meet requirements of growing volumes;
• applying risk management policy effectively to such payment mechanisms;
• keeping users’ data safe and free from security breaches; and
• effectively managing payment solutions logistics and technology infrastructure.
Further, R-WAP is a new facility which has been instituted due to challenges arising out of COVID-19 pandemic.
We cannot assure you that R-WAP facility will not suffer from any unanticipated system failure or breakdown or
delay, including failure on part of the payment gateway, and therefore, your Application may not be completed or
rejected. These risks are indicative and any failure to manage them effectively can impair the efficacy and
functioning of the payment mechanism for this Issue. Since Application process through R-WAP is different from
the ASBA process, there can be no assurance that investors will not find difficulties in accessing and using the R-
WAP facility.
69. SEBI has recently, by way of circulars dated January 22, 2020 and May 6, 2020, streamlined the process
of rights issues. You should follow the instructions carefully, as stated in such SEBI circulars, and in this
Letter of Offer.
The concept of crediting Rights Entitlements into the demat accounts of the Eligible Equity Shareholders has
recently been introduced by the SEBI. Accordingly, the process for such Rights Entitlements has been recently
devised by capital market intermediaries. Eligible Equity Shareholders are encouraged to exercise caution,
carefully follow the requirements as stated in the SEBI circulars dated January 22, 2020 and May 6, 2020, and
ensure completion of all necessary steps in relation to providing/updating their demat account details in a timely
manner. For details, see “Terms of the Issue” on page 399.
In accordance with Regulation 77A of the SEBI ICDR Regulations read with the SEBI Rights Issue Circulars, the
credit of Rights Entitlements and Allotment of Rights Equity Shares shall be made in dematerialized form only.
Prior to the Issue Opening Date, our Company shall credit the Rights Entitlements to (i) the demat accounts of the
Eligible Equity Shareholders holding the Equity Shares in dematerialised form; and (ii) demat suspense escrow
account (namely, “STFC Rights Entitlement Suspense Escrow Demat Account” and “STFC Rights Allotment
Demat Suspense Account”) opened by our Company, for the Eligible Equity Shareholders which would comprise
Rights Entitlements relating to (a) Equity Shares held in a demat suspense account pursuant to Regulation 39 of
the SEBI Listing Regulations; or (b) Equity Shares held in the account of IEPF authority; or (c) the demat accounts
39
of the Eligible Equity Shareholder which are frozen or details of which are unavailable with our Company or with
the Registrars on the Record Date; or (d) Equity Shares held by Eligible Equity Shareholders holding Equity
Shares in physical form as on Record Date where details of demat accounts are not provided by Eligible Equity
Shareholders to our Company or Registrar; or (e) credit of the Rights Entitlements returned/reversed/failed; or (f)
the ownership of the Equity Shares currently under dispute, including any court proceedings.
Our Company (with the assistance of the Registrar) shall, after verification of the details of such demat account
by the Registrar, transfer the Rights Equity Shares from the demat suspense account to the demat accounts of such
Eligible Equity Shareholders. In case of non-receipt of such details of demat account, our Company shall conduct
a sale of such Rights Equity Shares lying in the demat suspense account on the floor of the Stock Exchanges at
the prevailing market price and remit the proceeds of such sale (net of brokerage, applicable taxes and
administrative and incidental charges) to the bank account mentioned by the resident Eligible Equity Shareholders
in their respective Application Forms and from which the payment for Application Money was made. Proceeds
of such sale (net of brokerage, applicable taxes and administrative and incidental charges) may be higher or lower
than the Application Money paid by such Eligible Equity Shareholders. We cannot assure you that such proceeds
by way of sale of such Rights Equity Shares will be higher than the Application Money paid by you, and that you
shall not suffer a loss in this regard.
Further, in case, bank accounts of the aforesaid Eligible Equity Shareholders cannot be identified due to any reason
or bounce back from such bank accounts, our Company may use payment mechanisms such as cheques, demand
drafts etc. to remit the proceeds of sale of the Rights Equity Shares to such Eligible Equity Shareholders. If such
bank account from which Application Money was received is closed or non-operational, the sale proceeds will be
transferred to IEPF in accordance with practice on Equity Shares and as per applicable law.
70. Investors will be subject to market risks until our Equity Shares credited to the investor’s demat account
are listed and permitted to trade.
Investors can start trading our Equity Shares Allotted to them only after they have been credited to an investor’s
demat account, are listed and permitted to trade. Since our Equity Shares are currently traded on the Stock
Exchanges, investors will be subject to market risk from the date they pay for our Equity Shares to the date when
trading approval is granted for the same. Further, there can be no assurance that our Equity Shares allocated to an
investor will be credited to the investor’s demat account or that trading in such Equity Shares will commence in
a timely manner.
71. Foreign investors are subject to foreign investment restrictions under Indian law that limits our ability to
attract foreign investors, which may adversely impact the market price of our Equity Shares.
Foreign investment in Indian securities is subject to regulation by Indian regulatory authorities. Under the FDI
Policy, issued by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, Ministry of Commerce and Industry,
Government of India, foreign investment up to 100% is permitted in our sector, subject to satisfaction of certain
conditions.
Also, under the foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfers of shares between non-residents
and residents are permitted (subject to certain exceptions) if they comply with, among other things, the pricing
guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares does not comply with such
pricing guidelines or reporting requirements, or falls under any of the exceptions referred to above, then prior
approval of the RBI will be required.
Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign
currency and repatriate any such foreign currency from India will require a no objection or a tax clearance
certificate from the income tax authority. We cannot assure you that any required approval from the RBI or any
other Government agency can be obtained on any particular terms or at all.

OBJECTS OF THE ISSUE
The objects as stated in the Memorandum of Association enable our Company to undertake its existing activities and
the activities for which the funds are being raised by our Company through the Issue.
Our Company intends to utilize the Net Proceeds from the Issue towards funding of the following objects towards
augmenting capital base
The details of the proceeds of the Issue are summarized in the table below:
(in Rs. Millions)
Particulars Amount
Gross proceeds to be raised from the Issue* 14,921.90#
Less: Estimated Issue related expenses 280.45
Net Proceeds 14,641.45#
*

#

The details of the proposed utilization of Net Proceeds are summarized in the table below:

#

Our Company proposes to deploy the entire Net Proceeds towards the aforestated objects during Fiscal 2021
depending upon various factors including the actual timing of the completion of the Issue and the receipt of the Net
Proceeds.
The following table provides the schedule of utilisation of the Net Proceeds:

Means of Finance
The funding requirements mentioned above are based on the internal management estimates of our Company and
have not been appraised by any bank, financial institution or any other external agency. They are based on current
circumstances of our business and our Company may have to revise its estimates from time to time on account of
various factors beyond our control. Consequently, the funding requirements of our Company and deployment
schedules are subject to revision in the future at the discretion of the management. If additional funds are required for
the purposes as mentioned above, such requirement may be met through internal accruals, additional capital infusion,
debt arrangements or any combination of them. Further, in the event of any shortfall of funds for any of the activities
proposed to be financed out of the Net Proceeds, our Company may re-allocate the Net Proceeds to the activities
72
where such shortfall has arisen, subject to compliance with applicable laws. Since our Company is not proposing to
fund any specific project from the Net Proceeds, the requirement to make firm arrangements of finance through
verifiable means towards 75% of the stated means of finance for such project proposed to be funded from the Net
Proceeds does not arise.
The details in relation to the objects of the Issue are set forth below:
We are subject to the capital adequacy ratio (“CAR”) requirements prescribed by the RBI. We are currently required
to maintain a minimum CAR of 15.00%, as prescribed under the master directions on Non-Banking Financial
Company Systemically Important Non Deposit Taking Company and Deposit Taking Company (Reserve Bank)
Directions, 2016, as amended from time to time, based on our total capital to risk-weighted assets. All deposit taking
NBFCs have to maintain a minimum capital ratio, consisting of Tier I and Tier II capital, which shall not be less than
15.00% of its aggregate risk-weighted assets on balance sheet and risk adjusted value of off-balance sheet items. We
ordinarily maintain a capital adequacy ratio higher than the statutorily prescribed CAR. As of March 31, 2020, our
Tier I capital adequacy ratio computed on the basis of applicable RBI requirements was 18.13% compared to the
minimum capital adequacy requirement of 15.00% stipulated by the RBI.
The Net Proceeds are proposed to be utilized for increasing our capital base. We anticipate that the Net Proceeds will
be sufficient to satisfy our Company’s Tier- I capital requirements for Financial Year 2021. The Net Proceeds will be
utilised to increase our Company’s Tier I capital base to meet our future capital requirements which are expected to
arise out of growth of our business and assets.
Accordingly, the Net Proceeds are proposed to be utilized for increasing our Company’s capital base which will be
utilized towards our Company’s business and growth including towards onwards lending, payment of operating
expenditure, purchase of assets and repayment of outstanding loans and interest thereon as part of our business
activities.
73
Bridge Financing Facilities
As on the date of this Letter of Offer, our Company has not availed any bridge loans from any banks or financial
institutions towards the objects of the Issue, which are proposed to be repaid from the Net Proceeds.

ANNEXURE TO THE STATEMENT OF POSSIBLE SPECIAL DIRECT TAX BENEFITS AVAILABLE
TOTHE COMPANY AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS UNDER THE APPLICABLE TAX LAWS IN INDIA
Outlined below are the possible Special tax benefits available to the Company and its shareholders under the direct
tax laws in force in India. These benefits are dependent on the Company or its shareholders fulfilling the conditions
prescribed under the relevant tax laws. Hence, the ability of the Company or its shareholders to derive the special tax
benefits is dependent upon fulfilling such conditions, which based on business imperatives it faces in the future, it
may not choose to fulfill.
a) Special tax benefits available to the Company under the Income Tax Act, 1961 as amended by the Finance
Act 2019, i.e. applicable for the Financial Year 2020-21 relevant to the assessment year 2021-22.
A new section 115BAA has been inserted by the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act, 2019 (“the Amendment Act,
2019”) w.e.f. April 1, 2020 granting an option to domestic companies to compute corporate tax at a reduced rate of
25.17% (22% plus surcharge of 10% and cess of 4%), provided such companies do not avail specified
exemptions/incentives (e.g. deduction under section 14A, 80-G etc.)
The Amendment Act, 2019 further provides that domestic companies availing such option will not be required to pay
Minimum Alternate Tax (“MAT”) under section 115JB. The CBDT has further issued Circular 29/2019 dated October
02, 2019 clarifying that since the MAT provisions under section 115JB itself would not apply where a domestic
company exercises option of lower tax rate under section 115BAA, MAT credit would not be available.
Corresponding amendment has been inserted under section 115JAA dealing with MAT credit.
The Company has exercised the above option. Therefore, there are no special tax benefits available to the Company.
b) Special tax benefits available to the shareholders of the Company under the Income Tax Act, 1961 as
amended by the Finance Act 2019, i.e. applicable for the Financial Year 2020-21 relevant to the assessment
year 2021-22.
There are no special tax benefits available to the shareholders of the Company arising out of the proposed rights issue
Note:
1. All the above benefits are as per the current tax laws and any change or amendment in the laws/regulation,
which when implemented would impact the same.
2. This statement does not discuss any tax consequences in the country outside India of an investment in the
Equity Shares. The subscribers of the Equity Shares in the country other than India are urged to consult their
own professional advisers regarding possible income-tax consequences that apply to them.
3. In respect of non-residents, the rates and the consequent taxation mentioned above shall be further subject to
any benefits available under the applicable Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement, if any, between India
and the country in which the non-resident has fiscal domicile.
4. The above statement covers only above mentioned tax laws benefits and does not cover any indirect tax law
benefits or benefit under any other law.
5. The above Statement sets out the provisions of law in a summary manner only and is not a complete analysis
or listing of all potential tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposal of shares.
6. No assurance is given that the revenue authorities/courts will concur with the views expressed herein. Our
views are based on the existing provisions of law and its interpretation, which are subject to changes from
time to time. We do not assume responsibility to update the views consequent to such changes.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
For information on recent developments concerning our Company, please see the section titled “Material
Developments” beginning on page 377.
OUR STRENGTHS
We believe that we are one of the leading NBFCs in the organised sector in India that cater to FTBs and SRTOs for
financing pre-owned commercial vehicles. Our widespread network of 1,758 branches across India and presence in
844 rural centres as of March 31, 2020 enables us to access a large base of customers, including most major and minor
commercial vehicle hubs along various road transportation routes in India. As on March 31, 2020, our active customer
base was over 2.12 million. We believe that our widespread branch network enables us to service and support our
80
existing customers from proximate locations that provide customers with easy access to our services. We also have
strategically expanded our marketing and customer origination network by entering into revenue sharing agreements
with 1,160 private financiers involved in commercial vehicle financing, as of March 31, 2020. We believe our
relationship with these partners is a critical factor in sourcing new customers and enhancing reach and market share
with a low upfront capital cost. We believe that the relationships we have developed with our customers provide us
with opportunities for repeat business and to cross sell our other products as well as derive benefit from customer
referrals.
Unique business model with a strong brand name and financial performance
We believe that FTBs and SRTOs are not a focus segment for commercial banks in India as this class of customers
lack substantial credit histories and other financial documentation on which many banks rely to identify and target
new customers. We believe that the fragmented market for commercial vehicle financing coupled with our credit
evaluation techniques, relationship-based approach, extensive branch network and strong valuation skills make our
business model unique and sustainable as compared to other financiers. We believe that our internally developed
valuation techniques, substantial customer knowledge and relationship culture developed over the past three decades,
constitute a key strength that is difficult to replicate and acts as a high barrier to entry for other players in the
commercial vehicle financing space. This in turn enables us to provide finance to pre-owned commercial vehicle
operators at favourable interest rates and repayment terms as compared to private financiers in the unorganised sector.
We believe that as a large and organised institution in an otherwise fragmented commercial vehicle financing market,
with a widespread branch network, particularly in commercial vehicle hubs across India, as well as our large customer
base, has enabled us to build a strong brand. We believe that our credit approval procedures, credit delivery process
and relationship based loan administration and monitoring methodology have also aided in increasing customer loyalty
and earning repeat business and customer referrals.
As a result of the above, as per our Consolidated Financial Statements, our total income (including exceptional items)
was Rs. 165,826.26 million in Fiscal 2020 as compared to Rs. 155,566.60 million in Fiscal 2019. Our profit after tax
was Rs. 25,122.68 million in Fiscal 2020 as compared to Rs. 25,756.80 million in Fiscal 2019. Our returns on asset
(ROA) was 2.29% for Fiscal 2020 and 2.54% for Fiscal 2019. Further, as per our Consolidated Financial Statements,
our return on equity (ROE) was 14.73% for Fiscal 2020 as compared to 17.37% for Fiscal 2019.
We fund our capital requirements through a variety of sources. As of March 31, 2020, 86.80% of our borrowed funds
consisted of funds raised from financial institutions and banks (including public issues of non-convertible debentures),
while the remaining 13.20% consisted of funds raised through retail borrowings.
We meet our funding requirements predominantly through term loans from banks (including cash credit and external
commercial borrowing), the issue of redeemable non-convertible debentures, as well as deposits (including public and
corporate deposits) and bonds in overseas market, which constituted 43.48%, 21.67%, 12.63% and 14.64% of our
total borrowings, respectively, as of March 31, 2020. We access funds from a number of credit providers, including
56 banks and institutions comprising nationalised banks, private Indian banks, foreign banks and foreign institutional
investors, and we believe our track record of debt servicing has allowed us to establish and maintain strong
relationships with these financial institutions. As a deposit-taking NBFC, we are also able to mobilise fixed deposits.
We have raised secured and unsecured non-convertible debentures at competitive rates. We have also raised
subordinated loans eligible for Tier II capital. We undertake securitisation and assignment transactions as a cost-
effective source of funds.
In relation to our short and long term debts, as of June 1, 2020, we have ratings of CRISIL rating of ‘CRISIL
AA+/Negative’ for subordinated debt, ‘CRISIL AA+/Negative’ for NCDs, ‘CRISIL PP-MLD AA+r/Negative’ for
long term principal protected market linked debentures, ‘FAAA/Negative’ for fixed deposit programme and ‘CRISIL
A1+’ for commercial paper. India Ratings and Research of ‘IND AA+/RWN’ for NCDs, ‘IND AA+/RWN/IND A1+’
for bank loans, ‘IND AA+/RWN’ for subordinated debt, ‘IND A1+’ for Short-term debt/ commercial paper (CP)
programme and ‘IND tAA+/RWN’ for term deposit. S&P Global Ratings gave a rating of ‘BB-/Watch Negative/B’
as Company’s credit rating and ‘BB-/Watch Negative’ for senior secured notes. CARE Ratings has given a rating of
81
‘CARE AA+; Negative’ for our NCDs and subordinated debts, and ‘CARE A1+’ for our commercial papers. Fitch
Ratings gave a rating of ‘BB Rating Watch Negative’ for the local currency long term issuer default rating, ‘B’ for
short term issuer default rating, ‘BB Rating Watch Negative’ for local currency long term issuer default rating, ‘BB
Rating Watch Negative’ for senior unsecured long term rating and ‘BB Rating Watch Negative’ for senior secured
long term rating.
We believe that we have been able to achieve a relatively stable cost of funds, primarily due to our credit ratings,
treasury management and fund raising programmes. For Fiscal 2020 our cost of borrowing was 9.05 % of our total
finance cost, as compared to 8.81 % for Fiscal 2019. We believe that we are able to borrow from a range of sources
at competitive rates.
In order to diversify the borrowing portfolio of the Company and to open new market/ avenue for borrowing, we have
also issued senior secured notes of varying coupon and maturity under Medium Term Note programmes, aggregating
to Rs. 12,049.22 million, as on March 31, 2020. All senior secured notes issued under the above programmes are fully
hedged and would not involve any foreign exchange risk to the Company.
The RBI currently mandates commercial banks operating in India to maintain an aggregate of 40.00% of adjusted net
bank credit or credit equivalent amount of off-balance sheet exposure, whichever is higher as “priority sector
advances”. These include advances to agriculture, micro and small enterprises (including SRTOs, which constitute
the largest proportion of our loan portfolio), export credit and advances to weaker sections where the Government
seeks to encourage flow of credit for developmental reasons. Banks in India that have traditionally been constrained
or unable to meet these requirements organically have relied on specialised institutions such as us that are better
positioned to or exclusively focus on originating such assets, through purchase of assets or securitised and assigned
pools, to comply with these targets. We believe our securitised and assigned asset pools are particularly attractive to
these banks as such transactions provide them with an avenue to increase their asset base through low-cost investments
and limited risk. We believe that we can negotiate competitive interest rates with banks, NBFCs and other lenders
since the majority of our loan portfolio is classified as priority sector lending. As per our Consolidated Financial
Statements, in Fiscals 2019 and 2020, the total book value of loan assets securitised and assigned was Rs. 151,230.58
million and Rs. 165,811.25 million respectively.
We believe that we have developed a unique business model that addresses the needs of a specific market segment
with increasing demand. We focus on closely monitoring our assets and borrowers through relationship executives
who develop long term relationships with FTBs and SRTOs, which enable us to capitalise on local knowledge. We
follow credit policies, including limits on customer exposure, to ensure the asset quality of our loans and the security
provided for such loans.
We believe extensive expertise in asset valuation is a pre-requisite for any NBFC providing loans for pre-owned assets.
We believe over the years, we have developed expertise in valuing pre-owned vehicles, which enables us to accurately
determine a recoverable loan amount for commercial vehicle purchases. We believe a tested valuation technique for
these assets is a crucial entry barrier for others seeking to enter the markets in which we operate. We believe that our
loan recovery procedure is particularly well suited to our target market in the commercial vehicle financing industry,
as reflected by our strong loan recovery ratios, and we believe that this knowledge and relationship- based recovery
procedure is difficult to replicate in the short to medium term. Our Stage 3 assets as a percentage of Total Loan Assets,
was 8.46% as of March 31, 2020 as compared to 8.42% as of March 31, 2019. Our Stage 3 Assets net of Stage 3
Provision as a percentage of Net Loan Assets, was 5.86% as of March 31, 2020 as compared to 5.84% as of March
31, 2019.
As on the date hereof, our board of directors consists of eight directors with experience in the automotive and/or
financial services sectors. We have an experienced management team, which is supported by a capable and motivated
pool of employees. . Our senior and middle management personnel have significant experience and in-depth industry
knowledge and expertise. Certain members of our senior management team have more than 20 years of experience
with our Company. Further, we attempt to hire personnel with an intent to strengthen our credit appraisal and risk
82
management systems, and to develop and implement our credit policies. We believe that the in-depth industry
knowledge and loyalty of our management and professionals provide us with a distinct competitive advantage.
OUR STRATEGIES
Further expand operations by growing our branch network and presence in rural centres and increasing revenue
sharing agreements with private financiers.
We intend to continue to strategically expand our operations in target markets that are large commercial vehicle hubs
by establishing additional branches. We attempt to build long term relationships with our customers and look to
address specific issues and local business requirements of potential customers in a particular region through our
servicing efforts. We also intend to increase our operations in certain regions in India where we historically had
relatively limited operations, such as in eastern and northern parts of India, and to further consolidate our position and
operations in western and southern parts of India. We have also adopted a strategy of establishing our presence in
rural centres with a view towards increasing our presence in the pre-owned commercial vehicle market and reaching
out to a relatively newer customer segment in rural areas. We have had a presence in 844 rural centres as of March
31, 2020 and propose to continue to increase our presence in such rural centres across India. We also provide loans
for new commercial vehicles, in addition to our policy of providing finance for vehicles which are between 5 to 12
years old with a view of expanding our reach and diversifying our portfolio.
As of March 31, 2020, we had agreements with 1,160 private financiers and we intend to continue to strategically
expand our marketing and customer origination network by entering into revenue sharing agreements with private
financiers across India involved in commercial vehicle financing. However, we endevour to ensure that the
hypothecations granted in connection with these revenue sharing arrangements will remain solely in our favour.
We believe that we can increase our profitability by optimising our funding costs. This would include use of new
products available to us in the international capital markets, as well as ensuring that we favourably match our short-
term and long term sources of funds with their deployment. We have a diversified source for funding which comprises
capital market instruments, bank borrowings with a lender base of 56 banks and institutions, securitisation and retail
borrowings. Our portfolio qualifies for the priority sector advances for scheduled commercial banks (as investors in
our securitised loans), which helps reduce our borrowing costs. We have also focused on gradually increasing the
proportion of retail borrowings to diversify our funding source through fixed deposit programme and regular public
issue of non-convertible debentures. Our institutional debenture issuance has a varied investor base. We believe that
our ability to diversify our resource profile will enable us to further optimise our funding cost.
By offering additional downstream products, such as ancillary loans and insurance policies, we maintain contact with
the customer throughout the product lifecycle and increase our revenues. We believe the relationships we have
developed with our customers provide us with opportunities for repeat business and to cross-sell our other products
and products of our affiliates. We seek to continue consolidating our product portfolio so as to create greater synergies
with our primary business of commercial vehicle financing.
Our information technology strategy is designed to increase our operational and managerial efficiency. We aim to
increasingly use technology in streamlining our credit approval, administration and monitoring processes to meet
customer requirements on a real-time basis. We aim to continue to implement technology-led processing systems to
make our appraisal and collection processes more efficient, to facilitate rapid delivery of credit to our customers and
to augment the benefits of our relationship-based approach. We also believe that deploying strong technology systems
will enable us to respond to market opportunities and challenges swiftly, improve the quality of services to our
customers and improve our risk management capabilities.

OUR COMPANY'S FINANCIAL PRODUCTS
We are principally engaged in the business of providing commercial vehicle financing to FTBs and SRTOs. FTBs are
principally former truck drivers who purchase trucks for use in commercial operations and SRTOs are principally
small transport operators owning between one and four pre-owned commercial vehicles. Our financing products are
principally targeted at the financing of pre-owned trucks and other commercial vehicles, although we also provide
financing for new commercial vehicles. The pre-owned commercial vehicles we finance are typically between 5 and
12 years old. We also provide financing for other kinds of pre-owned and new commercial vehicles, including
passenger vehicles, heavy goods vehicles, light goods vehicles, and tractors.
We also provide loans for purchase of farm equipment and construction equipment.
As part of our presence in the entire commercial vehicle financing ecosystem, we also provide various types of
working capital loans to our customers for the purchase of vehicle parts, insurance, repairs, etc. in connection with the
operation of their trucks and other commercial vehicles. We also offer financing for the acquisition of new and pre-
owned vehicle equipment and accessories, such as tyres and other vehicle parts. We also offer fuel financing.
Miscellaneous
Our Company is also registered with the IRDAI as a corporate agent. Our Company deals in life insurance and general
insurance products. Our Company has entered into agreements with Shriram General Insurance Company Limited
(“SGIC”) and Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Company Limited (“BAGICL”) whereby the Company is appointed
as their ‘corporate agent’ and is authorized to market and solicit insurance products provided by SGIC and BAGICL
to its customers and clients subject to the limits prescribed and on the terms and conditions agreed to between the
parties.
Customer Base
Our customer base is predominantly FTBs and SRTOs and other commercial vehicle operators, and smaller
construction equipment operators. We also provide trade finance to commercial vehicle operators. These customers
typically have limited access to bank loans for commercial vehicle financing and limited credit histories. Our loans
are secured by a hypothecation of the asset financed.
Branch Network
As of March 31, 2020, we have a wide network of 1,758 branches across India and 28,045 employees. We have
established branches at commercial vehicle hubs along various road transportation routes across India. As of March
31, 2020, all of our branch offices were connected to servers at our Corporate Office to enable real-time information
with respect to our loan disbursement and recovery administration. Our customer origination efforts strategically focus
on building long term relationships with our customers and address specific issues and local business requirements of
potential customers in a specific region. Please see below a map of our branches:
84
Revenue Sharing Agreements with Private Financiers
We believe that SRTOs and FTBs in India generally have limited banking habits and credit history as well as
inadequate legal documentation for verification of creditworthiness. In addition, because of the mobile nature of the
hypothecated assets, SRTOs and FTBs may have limited access to bank financing for pre-owned and new commercial
vehicle financing. As a result, the pre-owned truck financing market in India is dominated by private financiers in the
unorganised sector. We have strategically expanded our marketing and customer origination network by entering into
revenue sharing agreements with 1,160 private financiers, as of March 31, 2020, located across India involved in
commercial vehicle financing. We have established a stable relationship with our revenue sharing partners through
our extensive branch network. As a result of the personnel-intensive requirements of our business model, we rely on
revenue sharing arrangements to effectively leverage the local knowledge, infrastructure and personnel base of our
revenue sharing partners.
In our typical revenue sharing agreements with our revenue sharing partners, we ensure that the revenue sharing
partner sources the applications for pre-owned and new commercial vehicle financing based on certain assessment
85
criteria we specify, and is generally responsible for ensuring the authenticity of the customer information and
documentation. The decision to approve a loan is, however, at our discretion.
We continue to develop innovative marketing and customer origination initiatives specifically targeted at FTBs and
SRTOs.
Branding/advertising
We use the brand name “Shriram” for marketing our products pursuant to a license agreement dated November 21,
2014 between our Company and Shriram Ownership Trust (“SOT”), as amended in terms of agreement dated March
18, 2016 and novated in terms of the deed of novation cum amendment dated May 17, 2019 entered into between our
Company, SOT and Shriram Value Services Limited (“SVS”). We believe that our brand is well recognised in India.
We have launched various publicity campaigns through print and other media specifically targeted at our target
customer profile, FTBs and SRTOs, to create awareness of our product features, including our speedy loan approval
process, with the intention of creating and enhancing our product identity. We believe that our emphasis on product
promotion will be a significant contributor to our results of operations in the future.
ASSET QUALITY
Our Company being an NBFC is covered by Rule 4 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and
is required to comply with Ind AS for the preparation of their financial statements. Our Company records allowance
for expected credit loss (“ECL”) for all loans, other debt financial instruments not held at fair value through profit
and loss account.
The ECL allowance is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset (the “Lifetime ECL”),
unless there has been no significant increase in credit risk since origination, in which case, the allowance is based on
12 months expected credit loss (“12 month ECL”).
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of the
financial instrument. The 12 month ECL is the portion of Lifetime ECL that represent the ECLs that result from default
events on a financial instrument that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date. Both Lifetime ECL
and the 12 month ECL are calculated on collective basis grouped based on its loan portfolio into business loans,
secured loans for new vehicles, secured loans for used vehicles and secured loans for equipment finance loans.
The company has established a policy to perform an assessment, at the end of each reporting period, of whether a
financial instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since its initial recognition, by considering the change in
the risk of default occurring over the remaining life of the financial instrument. The Company does the assessment at
the borrower level. If a borrower has various facilities having different past dues status, then the highest days past
due is considered to be applicable for all the facilities of that borrower. Based on the above principal, the company
categorizes its loans into Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 as described below:
The Company classifies all standard advances up to 30 days default period under Stage 1 where there has not been a
significant increase in credit risk since its initial recognition or low credit risk at the reporting date and that are not
credit impaired upon origination. All the exposures where there has been a significant increase in credit risk since its
initial recognition but are not credit impaired are classified under Stage 2. Thirty days past due is considered as a
significant increase in credit risk. All exposures assessed as credit impaired when one or more events that have a
detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that asset have occurred are classified as Stage 3. For exposure
that have become credit impaired, a lifetime ECL is recognised and interest revenue is calculated by applying effective
interest rate to be amortized cost (net of provision) rather than the gross carrying amount.
RBI has by its notification no. RBI/2019-20/170 DOR (NBFC).CC.PD.No.109/22.10.106/2019-20 dated March 13,
2020, issued instructions and guidelines relate to specific prudential aspects of Ind AS implementation by NBFCs. As
86
per the said notification, NBFCs shall hold impairment allowances as required by Ind AS. In parallel NBFCs shall
also maintain the asset classification and compute provisions as per extant prudential norms on Income Recognition,
Asset Classification and Provisioning (“IRACP”) including borrower/beneficiary wise classification, provisioning for
standard as well as restructured assets, NPA ageing, etc. A comparison between provisions required under IRACP and
impairment allowances made under Ind AS 109 should be disclosed by NBFCs/ARCs in the notes to their financial
statements to provide a benchmark to their Boards, RBI supervisors and other stakeholders, on the adequacy of
provisioning for credit losses.
Where impairment allowance under Ind AS 109 is lower than the provisioning required under IRACP (including
standard asset provisioning), NBFCs/ARCs shall appropriate the difference from their net profit or loss after tax to a
separate ‘Impairment Reserve’. The balance in the ‘Impairment Reserve’ shall not be reckoned for regulatory capital.
Further, no withdrawals shall be permitted from this reserve without prior permission from the Department of
Supervision, RBI. The Company maintains Rs. 63,319.90 million towards ECL provisions as per Ind AS 109 as
compared to provisioning amount of Rs. 55,231.20 million required under IRACP. Hence there is no requirement of
creating “Impairment Reserve” as per the above guidelines.
Our Company has made ECL provision of Rs. 21,560.52 million and Rs. 9,280.84 million outstanding Stage 1 Assets
and Stage 2 Assets respectively as of March 31, 2020.
The following table sets forth, data regarding our Stage 3 Assets and capital adequacy ratios as per our Standalone
Financial Statements:

interest on loans given, unamortised loan origination cost and net of unamortised processing fee as determined
under Ind AS excluding provisions.

interest on securitisation, unsecured loans and unsecured advance for hypothecation loans and includes accrued
interest on loans given, unamortised loan origination cost and net of unamortised processing fee as determined
under Ind AS as adjusted for ECL provisions.
(3)
Stage 3 Assets as a percentage of Loan Book As per Ind AS: Stage 3 Assets includes financial assets that have
objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date as defined under Ind AS.
(4)
Stage 3 Assets net of Stage 3 Provision.
As per our Standalone Financial Statements, our Stage 3 Assets as a percentage of Total Loan Assets was 8.46% and
our Stage 3 Assets net of Stage 3 Provision as a percentage of Net Loan Assets was 5.86% as of March 31, 2020,
compared to 8.42% and 5.84% as of March 31, 2019, respectively. We believe that our eventual write offs are
relatively low because of our relationship-based customer origination and customer support, prudent loan approval
processes (including adequate collateral being obtained), and our ability to repossess and dispose of such collateral in
a timely manner.
87
Other Business Initiatives
Our Company has entered into agreements with three petroleum retailers, wherein our Company has agreed to provide
credit facilities to customers to enable them to purchase automotive fuels and lubricants from the retail outlets of these
companies. In terms of these agreements, our Company conducts an assessment of the credibility of an applicant and
sanctions credit limits, pursuant to which such members are eligible to purchase fuel and lubricants at retail outlets
basis the credit limits sanctioned by our Company.
FUNDING SOURCES
We have expanded our sources of funds in order to reduce our funding costs, protect interest margins and maintain a
diverse funding portfolio that will enable us to achieve funding stability and liquidity. Our sources of funding comprise
term loans (including term loans from banks and financial institutions), cash credit from banks, redeemable non-
convertible debentures, subordinated bonds, short-term commercial paper and inter-corporate deposits. Our Company
also mobilises fixed deposits.
As per our Consolidated Financial Statements, as of March 31, 2020, we had an outstanding secured debt of Rs.
762,874.43 million and unsecured debt of Rs. 180,842.92 million, which were Rs. 674,224.26 million and Rs.
204,919.75 million as of March 31, 2019, respectively.

Increasingly, we depend on term loans from banks and the issue of redeemable non-convertible debentures as the
primary sources of our funding. We believe that we have developed stable long term relationships with our lenders,
have established a track record of timely servicing of our debts, and have been able to secure fixed rate long term
loans of three to five years tenure to stabilise our cost of borrowings.
As per our Consolidated Financial Statements, as of March 31, 2020, loans from banks, including cash credit,
aggregated Rs. 410,283.00 million, as compared to Rs. 337,762.58 million as of March 31, 2019.

Rs. 56,700.63 million, which stood at Rs. 62,018.81 million as of March 31, 2019. The debt is subordinated to our
present and future senior indebtedness. Based on the balance term to maturity, as of March 31, 2020 and March 31,
2019, Rs. 40,464.60 million and Rs. 46,881.67 million, respectively of the discounted book value of subordinated
debt is considered as Tier II under the guidelines issued by the RBI for the purpose of capital adequacy computation.
We also undertake securitisation and assignment transactions to increase our capital adequacy ratio, increase the
efficiency of our loan portfolio and as a cost-effective source of funds. We sell part of our assets under financing
activities from time to time through securitisation and assignment transactions as well as direct assignment. Our
securitisation and assignment transactions involve provision of additional collateral and deposits or bank/corporate
guarantee. In Fiscal 2020, total book value of loan assets securitised and assigned was Rs. 165,811.25 million.
We continue to provide administration services for the securitised and assigned portfolio, the expenses for which are
provided for at the outset of each transaction. The gains arising out of securitisation and assignment, which vary
according to a number of factors such as the tenor of the securitised and assigned portfolio, the yield on the portfolio
securitised and assigned and the discounting rate applied, are treated as income over the tenure of agreements as per
RBI guidelines on securitisation of standard assets. Loss, if any, is recognised upfront.
The following tables set forth certain information with respect to our securitisation and assignment transactions as per
our Consolidated Financial Statements,:

We are required to provide credit enhancement for the securitisation and assignment transactions by way of either
fixed deposits or corporate guarantees and the aggregate credit enhancement amount outstanding as of March 31, 2020
was Rs. 42,994.06 million. In the event a relevant bank or institution does not realise the receivables due under such
loan assets, such bank or institution would have recourse to such credit enhancement.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY
We are subject to the capital adequacy ratio (“CAR”) requirements prescribed by the RBI. We are currently required
to maintain a minimum CAR of 15.00%, as prescribed under the Master Directions on Non-Banking Financial
Company-Systemically Important Non-Deposit taking Company and Deposit taking Company (Reserve Bank)
Directions, 2016, as amended from time to time, based on our total capital to risk-weighted assets. All deposit taking
NBFCs have to maintain a minimum capital ratio, consisting of Tier I and Tier II capital, which shall not be less than
15.00% of its aggregate risk-weighted assets on balance sheet and risk adjusted value of off-balance sheet items. We
ordinarily maintain capital adequacy higher than the statutorily prescribed CAR. As of March 31, 2020, our CAR
computed on the basis of applicable RBI requirements was 21.99% compared to the minimum capital adequacy
requirement of 15.00% stipulated by the RBI.
The following table sets out our capital adequacy ratios as on March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020 on a standalone
basis:
CREDIT RATING
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to our credit ratings:
Competition
In our principal business line, the pre-owned commercial vehicle financing sector, we experience competition from
private unorganised financiers that principally operate in the local market. These private operators have significant
local market expertise, but lack brand image and organizational structure. For new commercial vehicle financing, we
compete with more conventional lenders, such as banks and other NBFCs. Given the relatively minimal scale of our
present operations in our other business lines, we do not directly compete with others in these segments. However, as
our operations in our other business lines expand, we may face significant competition in these segments in future.

► The expected frequency, value and timing of sales are also important aspects of the Company’s assessment.
The business model assessment is based on reasonably expected scenarios without taking 'worst case' or
'stress case’ scenarios into account. If cash flows after initial recognition are realised in a way that is different
from the Company's original expectations, the Company does not change the classification of the remaining
financial assets held in that business model, but incorporates such information when assessing newly
originated or newly purchased financial assets going forward.
The Company classifies its financial liabilities at amortised costs unless it has designated liabilities at fair value
through the profit and loss account or is required to measure liabilities at fair value through profit or loss such as
derivative liabilities.
Debt instruments
These financial assets comprise bank balances, Loans, Trade receivables, investments and other financial assets.
Debt instruments are measured at amortised cost where they have:
a) contractual terms that give rise to cash flows on specified dates, that represent solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding; and
b) are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by holding to collect contractual cash
flows.
These debt instruments are initially recognised at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and
subsequently measured at amortised cost.
(iii) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
Debt instruments
Investments in debt instruments are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income where they
have:
a) contractual terms that give rise to cash flows on specified dates, that represent solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding; and
b) are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows
and selling financial assets.
119
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
These debt instruments are initially recognised at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and
subsequently measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in other
comprehensive income within a separate component of equity. Impairment losses or reversals, interest revenue
and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss. Upon disposal, the cumulative gain or
loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to the statement of profit
and loss. As at the reporting date, the Company does not have any financial instruments measured at fair value
through other comprehensive income.
Equity instruments
Investment in equity instruments that are neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognised by the
Company in a business combination to which Ind AS 103 ‘Business Combination’ applies, are measured at fair
value through other comprehensive income, where an irrevocable election has been made by management and
when such instruments meet the definition of Equity under Ind AS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation.
Such classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis. As at reporting date, there are no equity
instruments measured at FVOCI.
Amounts presented in other comprehensive income are not subsequently transferred to profit or loss. Dividends
on such investments are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial instruments held at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, with
transaction costs recognised in the statement of profit and loss as incurred. Subsequently, they are measured at
fair value and any gains or losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as they arise.
120
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
A financial liability may be designated at fair value through profit or loss if it eliminates or significantly reduces
an accounting mismatch or:
• if a host contract contains one or more embedded derivatives; or
• if financial assets and liabilities are both managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in
accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
Where a financial liability is designated at fair value through profit or loss, the movement in fair value
attributable to changes in the Company’s own credit quality is calculated by determining the changes in credit
spreads above observable market interest rates and is presented separately in other comprehensive income. As
at the reporting date, the Company has not designated any financial instruments as measured at fair value
through profit or loss.
(v) Derivatives
A derivative is a financial instrument or other contract with all three of the following characteristics:
► Its value changes in response to the change in a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity
price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable, provided
that, in the case of a non-financial variable, it is not specific to a party to the contract (i.e., the 'underlying').
► It requires no initial net investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for
other types of contracts expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors.
► It is settled at a future date.
► The Company enters into derivative transactions with various counterparties to hedge its foreign currency
risks and interest rate risks. Derivative transaction consists of hedging of foreign exchange transactions,
which includes interest rate and currency swaps, interest rate options and forwards. The Company
undertakes derivative transactions for hedging on-balance sheet liabilities. Derivatives are initially
recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently measured
to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. Such derivative instruments are presented as assets in
case of a fair value gain and as liabilities in case of fair value loss. Changes in the fair value of derivatives
are included in net gain on fair value changes.
If the hybrid contract contains a host that is a financial asset within the scope of Ind AS 109, the Company does
not separate embedded derivatives. Rather, it applies the classification requirements contained in Ind AS 109 to
the entire hybrid contract.
121

higher of the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation recognised in the statement of profit and
loss.
► The premium is recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the life of the
guarantee.
Recognition:
a) Loans and Advances are initially recognised when the funds are transferred to the customers’ account or
delivery of assets by the dealer, whichever is earlier.
b) Investments are initially recognised on the settlement date.
c) Debt securities, deposits and borrowings are initially recognised when funds reach the Company.
d) Other Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the
Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. This includes regular way trades:
purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame generally
established by regulation or convention in the market place.
122
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Pass-through arrangements are transactions whereby the Company retains the contractual rights to receive the
cash flows of a financial asset (the 'original asset'), but assumes a contractual obligation to pay those cash flows
to one or more entities (the 'eventual recipients'), when all of the following three conditions are met:
i. The Company has no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipients unless it has collected
equivalent amounts from the original asset, excluding short-term advances with the right to full
recovery of the amount lent plus accrued interest at market rates.
ii. The Company cannot sell or pledge the original asset other than as security to the eventual
recipients.
iii. The Company has to remit any cash flows it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients without
material delay. In addition, the Company is not entitled to reinvest such cash flows, except for
investments in cash or cash equivalents including interest earned, during the period between the
collection date and the date of required remittance to the eventual recipients.
The Company considers control to be transferred if and only if, the transferee has the practical ability to sell the
asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party and is able to exercise that ability unilaterally and without
imposing additional restrictions on the transfer.
When the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards and has retained
control of the asset, the asset continues to be recognised only to the extent of the Company’s continuing
involvement, in which case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the
associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has
retained.
b) Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms,
or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying
value of the original financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss. As at the
reporting date, the Company does not have any financial liabilities which have been derecognised.

Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a
financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is the portion of Lifetime ECL that represent the ECLs that result from
default events on a financial instrument that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date.
Both Lifetime ECLs and 12-month ECLs are calculated on either an individual basis or a collective basis,
depending on the nature of the underlying portfolio of financial instruments. The Company has grouped its loan
portfolio into Business Loans, Secured loans for new vehicles, Secured loans for used vehicles and Equipment
Finance Loans
The Company has established a policy to perform an assessment, at the end of each reporting period, of whether
a financial instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, by considering the
change in the risk of default occurring over the remaining life of the financial instrument. The Company does
the assessment of significant increase in credit risk at a borrower level. If a borrower has various facilities
having different past due status, then the highest days past due (DPD) is considered to be applicable for all the
facilities of that borrower.
Based on the above, the Company categorises its loans into Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 as described below:
Stage 1
All exposures where there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or that has
low credit risk at the reporting date and that are not credit impaired upon origination are classified under this
stage. The Company classifies all standard advances and advances upto 30 days default under this category.
Stage 1 loans also include facilities where the credit risk has improved and the loan has been reclassified from
Stage 2.
Stage 2
All exposures where there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but are not credit
impaired are classified under this stage. 30 Days Past Due is considered as significant increase in credit risk.
Stage 3
All exposures assessed as credit impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the
estimated future cash flows of that asset have occurred are classified in this stage. For exposures that have
become credit impaired, a lifetime ECL is recognised and interest revenue is calculated by applying the effective
interest rate to the amortised cost (net of provision) rather than the gross carrying amount. 90 Days Past Due is
considered as default for classifying a financial instrument as credit impaired. If an event (for e.g.. any natural
calamity) warrants a provision higher than as mandated under ECL methodology, the Company may classify the
financial asset in Stage 3 accordingly.

The mechanics of the ECL calculations are outlined below and the key elements are, as follows:
Probability of Default (PD) - The Probability of Default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given
time horizon. A default may only happen at a certain time over the assessed period, if the facility has not been
previously derecognised and is still in the portfolio. The concept of PD is further explained in Note 53.
Exposure at Default (EAD) - The Exposure at Default is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date.
The concept of EAD is further explained in Note 53
Loss Given Default (LGD) - The Loss Given Default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a
default occurs at a given time. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that
the Company would expect to receive, including from the realisation of any collateral. It is usually expressed as
a percentage of the EAD. The concept of LGD is further explained in Note 53.

While estimating the expected credit losses, the Company reviews macro-economic developments occurring in
the economy and market it operates in. On a periodic basis, the Company analyses if there is any relationship
between key economic trends like GDP, unemployment rates, benchmark rates set by the Reserve Bank of India,
inflation etc. with the estimate of PD, LGD determined by the Company based on its internal data. While the
internal estimates of PD, LGD rates by the Company may not be always reflective of such relationships,
temporary overlays, if any, are embedded in the methodology to reflect such macro-economic trends reasonably.
Refer note 62 for impact of COVID and macro-economic factors on PD and LGD estimation.
Collateral Valuation
To mitigate its credit risks on financial assets, the Company seeks to use collateral, wherever possible. The
collateral comes in various forms, such as movable and immovable assets, guarantees, etc. However, the fair
value of collateral affects the calculation of ECLs. To the extent possible, the Company uses active market data
for valuing financial assets held as collateral. Other financial assets which do not have readily determinable
market values are valued using models. Non-financial collateral, such as vehicles, is valued based on data
provided by third parties or management judgements.
Collateral repossessed
In its normal course of business whenever default occurs, the Company may take possession of properties or
other assets in its retail portfolio and generally disposes such assets through auction, to settle outstanding debt.
Any surplus funds are returned to the customers/obligors. As a result of this practice, assets under legal
repossession processes are not recorded on the balance sheet.
(xii) Write-offs
The Company reduces the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when the Company has no reasonable
expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. This is generally the case when
the Company determines that the borrower does not have assets or sources of income that could generate
sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subjected to write-offs. Any subsequent recoveries against such loans
are credited to the statement of profit and loss.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use
when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that
would use the asset in its highest and best use.
126
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data
are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of
unobservable inputs.
In order to show how fair values have been derived, financial instruments are classified based on a hierarchy of
valuation techniques, as summarised below:
Level 1 financial instruments - Those where the inputs used in the valuation are unadjusted quoted prices from
active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has access to at the measurement date. The
Company considers markets as active only if there are sufficient trading activities with regards to the volume
and liquidity of the identical assets or liabilities and when there are binding and exercisable price quotes
available on the balance sheet date.
Level 2 financial instruments - Those where the inputs that are used for valuation and are significant, are derived
from directly or indirectly observable market data available over the entire period of the instrument’s life. Such
inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical
instruments in inactive markets and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as interest rates and yield
curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads. In addition, adjustments may be required for the condition or
location of the asset or the extent to which it relates to items that are comparable to the valued instrument.
However, if such adjustments are based on unobservable inputs which are significant to the entire measurement,
the Company will classify the instruments as Level 3.
Level 3 financial instruments - Those that include one or more unobservable input that is significant to the
measurement as whole.
The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period
during which the change has occurred. No such instances of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy
were recorded during the reporting period.
When the transaction price of the instrument differs from the fair value at origination and the fair value is based
on a valuation technique using only inputs observable in market transactions, the Company recognises the
difference between the transaction price and fair value in net gain on fair value changes. In those cases where
fair value is based on models for which some of the inputs are not observable, the difference between the
transaction price and the fair value is deferred and is only recognised in profit or loss when the inputs become
observable, or when the instrument is derecognised.
127
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Any subsequent changes in the estimation of the future cash flows is recognised in interest income with the
corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets.
Interest income on credit impaired assets is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the net
amortised cost (net of provision) of the financial asset.
Interest on delayed payments by customers are treated to accrue only on realisation, due to uncertainty of
realisation and are accounted accordingly.
Interest spread under par structure of direct assignment of loan receivables is recognised upfront. On
derecognition of the loan receivables in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount (measured at the
date of derecognition) and the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability
assumed) shall be recognised upfront in the statement of profit or loss.
Operating leases are leases where the Company does not transfer substantially all of the risk and benefits of
ownership of the asset.
Fees and commissions are recognised when the Company satisfies the performance obligation, at fair value of
the consideration received or receivable based on a five-step model as set out below, unless included in the
effective interest calculation:
Step 1: Identify contract(s) with a customer: A contract is defined as an agreement between two or more parties
that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for every contract that must be met.
Step 2: Identify performance obligations in the contract: A performance obligation is a promise in a contract
with a customer to transfer a good or service to the customer.
128
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Step 3: Determine the transaction price: The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the
Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer,
excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: For a contract that has more
than one performance obligation, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in
an amount that depicts the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for
satisfying each performance obligation.
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
However, net gain / loss on derecognition of financial instruments classified as amortised cost is presented
separately under the respective head in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
6.3 Expenses
(i) Finance costs
Finance costs represents Interest expense recognised by applying the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) to the gross
carrying amount of financial liabilities other than financial liabilities classified as FVTPL.
The EIR in case of a financial liability is computed
a. As the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the
financial liability to the gross carrying amount of the amortised cost of a financial liability.
b. By considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument in estimating the cash flows.
c. Including all fees paid between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest
rate, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts.
Any subsequent changes in the estimation of the future cash flows is recognised in interest income with the
corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets.
Interest expense includes issue costs that are initially recognised as part of the carrying value of the financial
liability and amortised over the expected life using the effective interest method. These include fees and
commissions payable to advisers and other expenses such as external legal costs, rating fee etc, provided these
are incremental costs that are directly related to the issue of a financial liability.
129
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered
by employees is recognised as an expense during the period. Benefits such as salaries and wages, etc. and the
expected cost of the bonus/ex-gratia are recognised in the period in which the employee renders the related
service.
The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for
determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plan are based on the market yields on
Government Securities as at the Balance Sheet date.
Net interest recognised in profit or loss is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined
benefit obligation to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The actual return on the plan assets above or below
the discount rate is recognised as part of re-measurement of net defined liability or asset through other
comprehensive income. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual
developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, attrition rate, future salary
increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, these
liabilities are highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed annually.
The Company fully contributes all ascertained liabilities to The Trustees - Shriram Transport Finance Company
Limited Employees Group Gratuity Assurance Scheme. Trustees administer contributions made to the trust and
contributions are invested in a scheme of insurance with the IRDA approved Insurance Companies.
Re-measurement, comprising of actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts
included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with
a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-
measurements are not reclassified to the statement of profit and loss in subsequent periods.

The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have
a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises the lease payments
associated with these leases as an expense over the lease term.
In the comparative period, leases, lease payments and receipts under operating leases are recognised as an
expense and income respectively, on a straight line basis in the statement of profit and loss over the lease term
except where the lease payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation.
In case of a sub-lease, the Company accounts for its head lease and sub-lease separately.
The carrying amount of assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment
based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognised wherever the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the assets, net selling price and value
in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the
asset.
In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such
transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. After impairment, depreciation is
provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
(vi) Taxes
Current Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior years are measured at the amount expected to be
recovered from, or paid to, the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are
those that are enacted, or substantively enacted, by the reporting date in the countries where the Company
operates and generates taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either
in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying
transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax
returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes
provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences arising between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws)
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related
deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are only recognised for temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits if it
is probable that future taxable amounts will arise to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax
132
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the
related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets
and liabilities and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on
different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets
and liabilities are realised simultaneously.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax. The
Company recognises MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that it is probable that the Company
will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be
carried forward. In the year in which the Company recognises MAT credit as an asset in accordance with the
Guidance Note on Accounting for Credit Available in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under the Income-
tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as “MAT
Credit Entitlement.” The Company reviews the MAT Credit Entitlement asset at each reporting date and writes
down the asset to the extent the Company does not have convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during
the specified period.
Goods and services tax /value added taxes paid on acquisition of assets or on incurring expenses
Expenses and assets are recognised net of the goods and services tax/value added taxes paid, except:
i. When the tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation
authority, in which case, the tax paid is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or
as part of the expense item, as applicable.
ii. When receivables and payables are stated with the amount of tax included.
The net amount of tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or
payables in the balance sheet.
Initial recognition:
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at
the dates of the transactions.
Conversion:
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, which are outstanding as at the reporting date,
are translated at the reporting date at the closing exchange rate and the resultant exchange differences are
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Non–monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the spot
exchange rates as at the date of recognition.

Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated using the straight–line method to write down the cost of property and equipment to
their residual values over their estimated useful lives which is in line with the estimated useful life as specified
in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 except for Leasehold improvements which are amortised on a
straight-line basis over the period of lease or estimated period of useful life of such improvement, subject to a
maximum period of 60 months. Leasehold improvements include all expenditure incurred on the leasehold
premises that have future economic benefits. Land is not depreciated.
134
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at
each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected
from its use. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is recognised in other income / expense in the statement
of profit and loss in the year the asset is derecognised. The date of disposal of an item of property, plant and
equipment is the date the recipient obtains control of that item in accordance with the requirements for
determining when a performance obligation is satisfied in Ind AS 115.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite
lives are amortised over the useful economic life. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an
intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected
useful life, or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset, are
accounted for by changing the amortisation period or methodology, as appropriate, which are then treated as
changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is presented as a
separate line item in the statement of profit and loss. Amortisation on assets acquired/sold during the year is
recognised on a pro-rata basis to the Statement of Profit and Loss from / upto the date of acquisition/sale.
Amortisation is calculated using the straight–line method to write down the cost of intangible assets to their
residual values over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets comprising of software are amortised on a
straight-line basis over a period of 3 years, unless it has a shorter useful life.
The Company’s intangible assets consist of computer software with definite life.
Gains or losses from derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset
is derecognised.
135
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Depreciation is recognised using straight line method so as to write off the cost of the investment property less
their residual values over their useful lives specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 or in case of
assets where the useful life was determined by technical evaluation, over the useful life so determined.
Depreciation method is reviewed at each financial year end to reflect the expected pattern of consumption of the
future benefits embodied in the investment property. The estimated useful life and residual values are also
reviewed at each financial year end and the effect of any change in the estimates of useful life/residual value is
accounted on prospective basis.
An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently
withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on
derecognition of property is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the same period.
6.9 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the enterprise has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past
events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the effect of the time value of money is material, the enterprise determines the level of provision by
discounting the expected cash flows at a pre-tax rate reflecting the current rates specific to the liability. The
expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement. As at
reporting date, the Company does not have any such provisions where the effect of time value of money is
material.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects
of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning
of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. In computing the dilutive earnings per share, only
potential equity shares that are dilutive and that either reduces the earnings per share or increases loss per share
are included.

The measurement of impairment losses across all categories of financial assets requires judgement, in particular,
the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral values when determining impairment
losses and the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk. These estimates are driven by a number of
factors, changes in which can result in different levels of allowances.
It has been the Company’s policy to regularly review its models in the context of actual loss experience and
adjust when necessary.
The impairment loss on loans and advances is disclosed in more detail in Note 6.1(xi) Overview of ECL
principles.
7.5 Contingent liabilities and provisions other than impairment on loan portfolio
Provisions and liabilities are recognised in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future
outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably
estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability requires the application of judgement to
existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. The carrying amounts of provisions and
liabilities are reviewed regularly and revised to take account of changing facts and circumstances.
This estimation, by nature, requires an element of judgement regarding the expected behaviour and life-cycle of
the instruments, as well expected changes to India’s base rate and other fee income/expense that are integral
parts of the instrument

Fair values of financial assets, other than those which are subsequently measured at amortised cost, have been arrived at as under:
Equity instruments
Investment in units of mutual funds are measured based on their published net asset value (NAV), taking into account redemption and/or other restrictions. Such
instruments are generally Level 2. Equity instruments in non-listed entities are initially recognised at transaction price and re-measured (to the extent information
is available) and valued on a case-by-case and classified as Level 3.
The following tables show a reconciliation of the opening and closing amounts of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities which are recorded at fair value.
Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 occur when the market for some securities became more liquid, which eliminates the need for the previously required
significant unobservable valuation inputs. Since the transfer, these instruments have been valued using valuation models incorporating observable market inputs.
Transfers into Level 3 reflect changes in market conditions as a result of which instruments become less liquid. Therefore, the Company requires significant
unobservable inputs to calculate their fair value.

Note:
The management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, other receivables, other payables, bank overdrafts and other financial
liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Below are the methodologies and assumptions used to determine fair values for the above financial instruments which are not recorded and measured at fair
value in the Company’s financial statements. These fair values were calculated for disclosure purposes only. The below methodologies and assumptions relate
only to the instruments in the above tables.

The Board has constituted the Risk Management Committee which is responsible for monitoring the overall risk process within the
Company.
The Risk Management Committee has the overall responsibility for the development of the risk strategy and implementing
principles, frameworks, policies and limits. The Risk Management Committee is responsible for managing risk decisions and
monitoring risk levels.
The Chief Risk officer is responsible for implementing and maintaining risk related procedures to ensure an independent control
process is maintained. The Risk owners within each department will report to the Risk Committee.
The Risk owners are responsible for monitoring compliance with risk principles, policies and limits across the Company. Each

authorised limits and the assessment of risks.
The Company’s Treasury is responsible for managing its assets and liabilities and the overall financial structure. It is also primarily
responsible for the funding and liquidity risks of the Company.
The Company’s policy is that risk management processes throughout the Company are audited annually by the Internal Audit
function, which examines both the adequacy of the procedures and the Company’s compliance with the procedures. Internal Audit
discusses the results of all assessments with management, and reports its findings and recommendations to Risk Management
Committee.
The Risk Management Committee receives a comprehensive risk report once a quarter which is designed to provide all the
necessary information to assess and conclude on the risks of the Company.
It is the Company’s policy to ensure that a robust risk awareness is embedded in its organisational risk culture. Employees are
expected to take ownership and be accountable for the risks the Company is exposed to that they decide to take on. The Company’s
continuous training and development emphasises that employees are made aware of the Company’s risk appetite and they are
supported in their roles and responsibilities to monitor and keep their exposure to risk within the Company’s risk appetite limits.
Compliance breaches and internal audit findings are important elements of employees’ annual ratings and remuneration reviews.

-The restructuring of a loan or advance by the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise.
It is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. PD estimation process is done based on historical internal
data available with the Company. While arriving at the PD, the Company also ensures that the factors that affects the macro
economic trends are considered to a reasonable extent, wherever necessary. Company calculates the 12 month PD by taking into
account the past historical trends of the portfolio and its credit performance. In case of assets where there is a significant increase
in credit risk, lifetime PD has been applied which is computed based on survival analysis. For credit impaired assets, a PD of 100%
has been applied.
To calculate the EAD for a Stage 1 loan, the Company assesses the possible default events within 12 months for the calculation of
the 12 months ECL.
For stage 2 and stage 3 financial assets, the exposure at default is considered for events over the lifetime of the instruments.
In case of undrawn loan commitments, a credit conversion factor of 100% is applied for expected drawdown.
When estimating ECLs on a collective basis for a Company of similar assets (as set out in Note 53.02.02.06), the Company applies
the same principles for assessing whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.

► The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business
model) and the way those risks are managed
► How managers of the business are compensated (for example, whether the compensation is based on the fair
value of the assets managed or on the contractual cash flows collected)
► The expected frequency, value and timing of sales are also important aspects of the Company’s assessment.
The business model assessment is based on reasonably expected scenarios without taking 'worst case' or
'stress case’ scenarios into account. If cash flows after initial recognition are realised in a way that is different
from the Company's original expectations, the Company does not change the classification of the remaining
financial assets held in that business model, but incorporates such information when assessing newly
originated or newly purchased financial assets going forward.

The Company classifies its financial liabilities at amortised costs unless it has designated liabilities at fair value
through the profit and loss account or is required to measure liabilities at fair value through profit or loss such as
derivative liabilities.
Debt instruments
These financial assets comprise bank balances, Loans, Trade receivables, investments and other financial assets.
Debt instruments are measured at amortised cost where they have:
a) contractual terms that give rise to cash flows on specified dates, that represent solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding; and
b) are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by holding to collect contractual cash
flows.
These debt instruments are initially recognised at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and
subsequently measured at amortised cost.
(iii) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
Debt instruments
Investments in debt instruments are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income where they
have:
a) contractual terms that give rise to cash flows on specified dates, that represent solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding; and
b) are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows
and selling financial assets.
These debt instruments are initially recognised at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and
subsequently measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in other
comprehensive income within a separate component of equity. Impairment losses or reversals, interest revenue
and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss. Upon disposal, the cumulative gain or
loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to the statement of profit

and loss. As at the reporting date, the Company does not have any financial instruments measured at fair value
through other comprehensive income.
Equity instruments
Investment in equity instruments that are neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognised by the
Company in a business combination to which Ind AS 103 ‘Business Combination’ applies, are measured at fair
value through other comprehensive income, where an irrevocable election has been made by management and
when such instruments meet the definition of Equity under Ind AS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation.
Such classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis. As at reporting date, there are no equity
instruments measured at FVOCI.
Amounts presented in other comprehensive income are not subsequently transferred to profit or loss. Dividends
on such investments are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial instruments held at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, with
transaction costs recognised in the statement of profit and loss as incurred. Subsequently, they are measured at
fair value and any gains or losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as they arise.
A financial liability may be designated at fair value through profit or loss if it eliminates or significantly reduces
an accounting mismatch or:
• if a host contract contains one or more embedded derivatives; or
• if financial assets and liabilities are both managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in
accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
252
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Where a financial liability is designated at fair value through profit or loss, the movement in fair value
attributable to changes in the Company’s own credit quality is calculated by determining the changes in credit
spreads above observable market interest rates and is presented separately in other comprehensive income. As
at the reporting date, the Company has not designated any financial instruments as measured at fair value
through profit or loss.
(v) Derivatives
A derivative is a financial instrument or other contract with all three of the following characteristics:
► Its value changes in response to the change in a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity
price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable, provided
that, in the case of a non-financial variable, it is not specific to a party to the contract (i.e., the 'underlying').
► It requires no initial net investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for
other types of contracts expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors.
► It is settled at a future date.
► The Company enters into derivative transactions with various counterparties to hedge its foreign currency
risks and interest rate risks. Derivative transaction consists of hedging of foreign exchange transactions,
which includes interest rate and currency swaps, interest rate options and forwards. The Company
undertakes derivative transactions for hedging on-balance sheet liabilities. Derivatives are initially
recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently measured
to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. Such derivative instruments are presented as assets in
case of a fair value gain and as liabilities in case of fair value loss. Changes in the fair value of derivatives
are included in net gain on fair value changes.
If the hybrid contract contains a host that is a financial asset within the scope of Ind AS 109, the Company does
not separate embedded derivatives. Rather, it applies the classification requirements contained in Ind AS 109 to
the entire hybrid contract.
253
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Recognition
a) Loans and Advances are initially recognised when the funds are transferred to the customers’ account or
delivery of assets by the dealer, whichever is earlier.
b) Investments are initially recognised on the settlement date.
c) Debt securities, deposits and borrowings are initially recognised when funds reach the Company.
d) Other Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the
Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. This includes regular way trades:
purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame generally
established by regulation or convention in the market place.
Pass-through arrangements are transactions whereby the Company retains the contractual rights to receive the
cash flows of a financial asset (the 'original asset'), but assumes a contractual obligation to pay those cash flows
to one or more entities (the 'eventual recipients'), when all of the following three conditions are met:
i. The Company has no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipients unless it has collected
equivalent amounts from the original asset, excluding short-term advances with the right to full
recovery of the amount lent plus accrued interest at market rates.
254
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
ii. The Company cannot sell or pledge the original asset other than as security to the eventual
recipients.
iii. The Company has to remit any cash flows it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients without
material delay. In addition, the Company is not entitled to reinvest such cash flows, except for
investments in cash or cash equivalents including interest earned, during the period between the
collection date and the date of required remittance to the eventual recipients.
The Company considers control to be transferred if and only if, the transferee has the practical ability to sell the
asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party and is able to exercise that ability unilaterally and without
imposing additional restrictions on the transfer.
When the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards and has retained
control of the asset, the asset continues to be recognised only to the extent of the Company’s continuing
involvement, in which case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the
associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has
retained.
b) Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms,
or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying
value of the original financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss. As at the
reporting date, the Company does not have any financial liabilities which have been derecognised.
Both Lifetime ECLs and 12-month ECLs are calculated on either an individual basis or a collective basis,
depending on the nature of the underlying portfolio of financial instruments. The Company has grouped its loan
portfolio into Business Loans, Secured loans for new vehicles, Secured loans for used vehicles and Equipment
Finance Loans.
255
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
The Company has established a policy to perform an assessment, at the end of each reporting period, of whether
a financial instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, by considering the
change in the risk of default occurring over the remaining life of the financial instrument. The Company does
the assessment of significant increase in credit risk at a borrower level. If a borrower has various facilities
having different past due status, then the highest days past due (DPD) is considered to be applicable for all the
facilities of that borrower.
Based on the above, the Company categorises its loans into Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 as described below:
Stage 1
All exposures where there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or that has
low credit risk at the reporting date and that are not credit impaired upon origination are classified under this
stage. The Company classifies all standard advances and advances upto 30 days default under this category.
Stage 1 loans also include facilities where the credit risk has improved and the loan has been reclassified from
Stage 2.
Stage 2
All exposures where there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but are not credit
impaired are classified under this stage. 30 Days Past Due is considered as significant increase in credit risk.
Stage 3
All exposures assessed as credit impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the
estimated future cash flows of that asset have occurred are classified in this stage. For exposures that have
become credit impaired, a lifetime ECL is recognised and interest revenue is calculated by applying the effective
interest rate to the amortised cost (net of provision) rather than the gross carrying amount. 90 Days Past Due is
considered as default for classifying a financial instrument as credit impaired. If an event (for e.g. any natural
calamity) warrants a provision higher than as mandated under ECL methodology, the Company may classify the
financial asset in Stage 3 accordingly.
256
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited

not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. It recognises impairment loss allowance based on
lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition. At every reporting date, the historical
observed default rates are updated for changes in the forward-looking estimates. For trade receivables that
contain a significant financing component a general approach is followed.
Financial guarantee contracts
The Company’s liability under financial guarantee is measured at the higher of the amount initially recognised
less cumulative amortisation recognised in the statement of profit and loss, and the ECL provision. For this
purpose, the Company estimates ECLs by applying a credit conversion factor.
The mechanics of the ECL calculations are outlined below and the key elements are, as follows:
Probability of Default (PD) - The Probability of Default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given
time horizon. A default may only happen at a certain time over the assessed period, if the facility has not been
previously derecognised and is still in the portfolio. The concept of PD is further explained in Note 53.
Exposure at Default (EAD) - The Exposure at Default is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date.
The concept of EAD is further explained in Note 53.
Loss Given Default (LGD) - The Loss Given Default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a
default occurs at a given time. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that
the Company would expect to receive, including from the realisation of any collateral. It is usually expressed as
a percentage of the EAD. The concept of LGD is further explained in Note 53.
257
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Collateral Valuation
To mitigate its credit risks on financial assets, the Company seeks to use collateral, wherever possible. The
collateral comes in various forms, such as movable and immovable assets, guarantees, etc. However, the fair
value of collateral affects the calculation of ECLs. To the extent possible, the Company uses active market data
for valuing financial assets held as collateral. Other financial assets which do not have readily determinable
market values are valued using models. Non-financial collateral, such as vehicles, is valued based on data
provided by third parties or management judgements.
Collateral repossessed
In its normal course of business whenever default occurs, the Company may take possession of properties or
other assets in its retail portfolio and generally disposes such assets through auction, to settle outstanding debt.
Any surplus funds are returned to the customers/obligors. As a result of this practice, assets under legal
repossession processes are not recorded on the balance sheet as it does not meet the recognition criteria in other
standards.
(xii) Write-offs
The Company reduces the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when the Company has no reasonable
expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. This is generally the case when
the Company determines that the borrower does not have assets or sources of income that could generate
sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subjected to write-offs. Any subsequent recoveries against such loans
are credited to the statement of profit and loss. Write off in case of standard accounts is done by way of waiver
of last one or two instalments in case the borrower pays all the EMIs as per the due dates mentioned in the
agreement.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use
when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that
would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data
are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of
unobservable inputs.
In order to show how fair values have been derived, financial instruments are classified based on a hierarchy of
valuation techniques, as summarised below:
258
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Level 1 financial instruments - Those where the inputs used in the valuation are unadjusted quoted prices from
active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has access to at the measurement date. The
Company considers markets as active only if there are sufficient trading activities with regards to the volume
and liquidity of the identical assets or liabilities and when there are binding and exercisable price quotes
available on the balance sheet date.
Level 2 financial instruments - Those where the inputs that are used for valuation and are significant, are derived
from directly or indirectly observable market data available over the entire period of the instrument’s life. Such
inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical
instruments in inactive markets and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as interest rates and yield
curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads. In addition, adjustments may be required for the condition or
location of the asset or the extent to which it relates to items that are comparable to the valued instrument.
However, if such adjustments are based on unobservable inputs which are significant to the entire measurement,
the Company will classify the instruments as Level 3.
Level 3 financial instruments - Those that include one or more unobservable input that is significant to the
measurement as whole.
The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period
during which the change has occurred. No such instances of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy
were recorded during the reporting period.
When the transaction price of the instrument differs from the fair value at origination and the fair value is based
on a valuation technique using only inputs observable in market transactions, the Company recognises the
difference between the transaction price and fair value in net gain on fair value changes. In those cases where
fair value is based on models for which some of the inputs are not observable, the difference between the
transaction price and the fair value is deferred and is only recognised in profit or loss when the inputs become
observable, or when the instrument is derecognised.

a. As the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the
financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.
b. By considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument in estimating the cash flows.
c. Including all fees received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective
interest rate, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts.
Any subsequent changes in the estimation of the future cash flows is recognised in interest income with the
corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets.
Interest income on credit impaired assets is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the net
amortised cost (net of provision) of the financial asset.
Interest on delayed payments by customers are treated to accrue only on realisation, due to uncertainty of
realisation and are accounted accordingly.
Interest spread under par structure of direct assignment of loan receivables is recognised upfront. On
derecognition of the loan receivables in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount (measured at the
date of derecognition) and the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability
assumed) shall be recognised upfront in the statement of profit or loss.
Operating leases are leases where the Company does not transfer substantially all of the risk and benefits of
ownership of the asset.
Fees and commissions are recognised when the Company satisfies the performance obligation, at fair value of
the consideration received or receivable based on a five-step model as set out below, unless included in the
effective interest calculation:
Step 1: Identify contract(s) with a customer: A contract is defined as an agreement between two or more parties
that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for every contract that must be met.
Step 2: Identify performance obligations in the contract: A performance obligation is a promise in a contract
with a customer to transfer a good or service to the customer.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price: The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the
Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer,
excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: For a contract that has more
than one performance obligation, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in
an amount that depicts the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for
satisfying each performance obligation.
260
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
6.3 Expenses
(i) Finance costs
Finance costs represents Interest expense recognised by applying the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) to the gross
carrying amount of financial liabilities other than financial liabilities classified as FVTPL.
The EIR in case of a financial liability is computed
a. As the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the
financial liability to the gross carrying amount of the amortised cost of a financial liability.
b. By considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument in estimating the cash flows.
c. Including all fees paid between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest
rate, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts.
Any subsequent changes in the estimation of the future cash flows is recognised in interest income with the
corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets.
Interest expense includes issue costs that are initially recognised as part of the carrying value of the financial
liability and amortised over the expected life using the effective interest method. These include fees and
commissions payable to advisers and other expenses such as external legal costs, rating fee etc, provided these
are incremental costs that are directly related to the issue of a financial liability.
261
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited

and recognises such contributions as an expense in the period in which employee renders the related service. If
the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the Balance Sheet date exceeds the
contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognised as a liability after deducting the
contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received
before the Balance Sheet date, then excess is recognised as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead
to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for
determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plan are based on the market yields on
Government Securities as at the Balance Sheet date.
Net interest recognised in profit or loss is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined
benefit obligation to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The actual return on the plan assets above or below
the discount rate is recognised as part of re-measurement of net defined liability or asset through other
comprehensive income. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual
developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, attrition rate, future salary
increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, these
liabilities are highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed annually.
The Company fully contributes all ascertained liabilities to The Trustees - Shriram Transport Finance Company
Limited Employees Group Gratuity Assurance Scheme. Trustees administer contributions made to the trust and
contributions are invested in a scheme of insurance with the IRDA approved Insurance Companies.
Re-measurement, comprising of actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts
included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with
a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-
measurements are not reclassified to the statement of profit and loss in subsequent periods.
262
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Identification of Lease
The determination of whether an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, is based on the substance of the
arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of
a specific asset or assets or whether the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
263
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
In the comparative period, leases, lease payments and receipts under operating leases are recognised as an
expense and income respectively, on a straight line basis in the statement of profit and loss over the lease term
except where the lease payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation.
In case of a sub-lease, the Company accounts for its head lease and sub-lease separately.
The carrying amount of assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment
based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognised wherever the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the assets, net selling price and value
in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the
asset.
In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such
transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. After impairment, depreciation is
provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
(vi) Taxes
Current Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior years are measured at the amount expected to be
recovered from, or paid to, the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are
those that are enacted, or substantively enacted, by the reporting date in the countries where the Company
operates and generates taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either
in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying
transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax
returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes
provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences arising between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws)
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related
deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are only recognised for temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits if it
is probable that future taxable amounts will arise to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax
assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the
related tax benefit will be realised.
264
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets
and liabilities and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on
different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets
and liabilities are realised simultaneously.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax. The
Company recognises MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that it is probable that the Company
will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be
carried forward. In the year in which the Company recognises MAT credit as an asset in accordance with the
Guidance Note on Accounting for Credit Available in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under the Income-
tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as “MAT
Credit Entitlement.” The Company reviews the MAT Credit Entitlement asset at each reporting date and writes
down the asset to the extent the Company does not have convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during
the specified period.
Goods and services tax /value added taxes paid on acquisition of assets or on incurring expenses
Expenses and assets are recognised net of the goods and services tax/value added taxes paid, except:
i. When the tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation
authority, in which case, the tax paid is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or
as part of the expense item, as applicable.
ii. When receivables and payables are stated with the amount of tax included.
The net amount of tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or
payables in the balance sheet.
Initial recognition
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at
the dates of the transactions.
Conversion
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, which are outstanding as at the reporting date,
are translated at the reporting date at the closing exchange rate and the resultant exchange differences are
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Non–monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the spot
exchange rates as at the date of recognition.

Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated using the straight–line method to write down the cost of property and equipment to
their residual values over their estimated useful lives which is in line with the estimated useful life as specified
in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 except for Leasehold improvements which are amortised on a
straight-line basis over the period of lease or estimated period of useful life of such improvement, subject to a
maximum period of 60 months. Leasehold improvements include all expenditure incurred on the leasehold
premises that have future economic benefits. Land is not depreciated.

Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at
each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected
from its use. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is recognised in other income / expense in the statement
of profit and loss in the year the asset is derecognised. The date of disposal of an item of property, plant and
equipment is the date the recipient obtains control of that item in accordance with the requirements for
determining when a performance obligation is satisfied in Ind AS 115.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite
lives are amortised over the useful economic life. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an
intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected
useful life, or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset, are
accounted for by changing the amortisation period or methodology, as appropriate, which are then treated as
changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is presented as a
separate line item in the statement of profit and loss. Amortisation on assets acquired/sold during the year is
recognised on a pro-rata basis to the Statement of Profit and Loss from / upto the date of acquisition/sale.
Amortisation is calculated using the straight–line method to write down the cost of intangible assets to their
residual values over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets comprising of software are amortised on a
straight-line basis over a period of 3 years, unless it has a shorter useful life.
The Company’s intangible assets consist of computer software with definite life.
267
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
Gains or losses from derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset
is derecognised.
An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently
withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on
derecognition of property is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the same period.
6.9 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the enterprise has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past
events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the effect of the time value of money is material, the enterprise determines the level of provision by
discounting the expected cash flows at a pre-tax rate reflecting the current rates specific to the liability. The
expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement. As at
reporting date, the Company does not have any such provisions where the effect of time value of money is
material.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects
268
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited
Notes forming part of Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020
of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning
of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. In computing the dilutive earnings per share, only
potential equity shares that are dilutive and that either reduces the earnings per share or increases loss per share
are included.

It has been the Company’s policy to regularly review its models in the context of actual loss experience and
adjust when necessary.
The impairment loss on loans and advances is disclosed in more detail in Note 6.1(xi) Overview of ECL
principles.
7.5 Contingent liabilities and provisions other than impairment on loan portfolio
Provisions and liabilities are recognised in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future
outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably
estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability requires the application of judgement to
existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. The carrying amounts of provisions and
liabilities are reviewed regularly and revised to take account of changing facts and circumstances.
This estimation, by nature, requires an element of judgement regarding the expected behaviour and life-cycle of
the instruments, as well expected changes to India’s base rate and other fee income/expense that are integral
parts of the instrument

The Company maintains an actively managed capital base to cover risks inherent in the business which includes issued equity
capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to equity holders of the Company.
As an NBFC, the RBI requires us to maintain a minimum capital to risk weighted assets ratio ("CRAR") consisting of Tier I and
Tier II capital of 15% of our aggregate risk weighted assets. Further, the total of our Tier II capital cannot exceed 100% of our
Tier I capital at any point of time. The capital management process of the Company ensures to maintain a healthy CRAR at all
the times. Refer note 69 for the Company's Capital ratios.
The primary objectives of the Company’s capital management policy are to ensure that the Company complies with externally
imposed capital requirements and maintains strong credit ratings and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and to
maximise shareholder value.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it according to changes in economic conditions and the
risk characteristics of its activities. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjus t the amount of
dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue capital securities. No changes have been made to th e
objectives, policies and processes from the previous years except those incorporated on account of regulatory ame ndments.
However, they are under constant review by the Board. The Company has complied with the notification RBI/2019 -20/170

Fair values of financial assets, other than those which are subsequently measured at amortised cost, have been arrived at as under:
Equity instruments
Investment in units of mutual funds are measured based on their published net asset value (NAV), taking into account redemption and/or other restrictions. Such
instruments are generally Level 2. Equity instruments in non-listed entities are initially recognised at transaction price and re-measured (to the extent information
is available) and valued on a case-by-case and classified as Level 3.
The following tables show a reconciliation of the opening and closing amounts of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities which are recorded at fair value.
Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 occur when the market for some securities became more liquid, which eliminates the need for the previously required
significant unobservable valuation inputs. Since the transfer, these instruments have been valued using valuation models incorporating observable market inputs.
Transfers into Level 3 reflect changes in market conditions as a result of which instruments become less liquid. Therefore, the Company requires significant
unobservable inputs to calculate their fair value.

instruments as opposed to the level of uncertainty to their valuation. Relationships between unobservable inputs have not been incorporated in this summary.

Note:
The management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, other receivables, other payables, bank overdrafts and other financial
liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Below are the methodologies and assumptions used to determine fair values for the above financial instruments which are not recorded and measured at fair value
in the Company’s financial statements. These fair values were calculated for disclosure purposes only. The below methodologies and assumptions relate only to
the instruments in the above tables.

necessary information to assess and conclude on the risks of the Company.
It is the Company’s policy to ensure that a robust risk awareness is embedded in its organisational risk culture. Employees are
expected to take ownership and be accountable for the risks the Company is exposed to that they decide to take on. The Company’s
continuous training and development emphasises that employees are made aware of the Company’s risk appetite and they are
supported in their roles and responsibilities to monitor and keep their exposure to risk within the Company’s risk appetite limits.

It is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. PD estimation process is done based on historical internal
data available with the Company. While arriving at the PD, the Company also ensures that the factors that affects the macro
economic trends are considered to a reasonable extent, wherever necessary. Company calculates the 12 month PD by taking into
account the past historical trends of the portfolio and its credit performance. In case of assets where there is a significant increase in
credit risk, lifetime PD has been applied which is computed based on survival analysis. For credit impaired assets, a PD of 100%
has been applied.
To calculate the EAD for a Stage 1 loan, the Company assesses the possible default events within 12 months for the calculation of
the 12 months ECL.
For stage 2 and stage 3 financial assets, the exposure at default is considered for events over the lifetime of the instruments.
In case of undrawn loan commitments, a credit conversion factor of 100% is applied for expected drawdown.
When estimating ECLs on a collective basis for a Company of similar assets (as set out in Note 53.02.02.06), the Company applies
the same principles for assessing whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.

MATERIAL DEVELOPMENTS
Except as disclosed below and stated elsewhere in this Letter of Offer, to our knowledge, no circumstances have arisen
since March 31, 2020 which materially and adversely affect or are likely to affect our operations, performance,
prospects or profitability, or the value of our assets or our ability to pay material liabilities:
1. In accordance with SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/CMD1/CIR/P/2020/84 dated May 20, 2020, our
Company has made the following disclosure to the Stock Exchanges on the impact COVID-19 on the operation
of our Company:
The COVID–19 pandemic and the consequent lockdown and restrictions imposed by national and the state
governments during March 24,2020 to May 31,2020 have impacted businesses and social life in the country. As a
result, our employees were not been able to make on-field visits at the customer’s place thereby causing adverse
impact on cash collections from customers due to restrictions on the movement of people. Further, our customers are
facing temporary business slow down due to the lockdown and this has also impacted our business. Disbursements
are badly affected as the RTO offices and dealers were non-functional up to 7th June,2020 in most part of the country.
The buying-selling and new vehicle sales transactions needing personal interactions has just started from June, 2020.
In view of nationwide lock down due to pandemic and the consequential disruptions and liquidity stress, the Reserve
Bank of India had issued certain regulatory measures to mitigate the burden of debt servicing brought about by
disruptions on account of COVID 19 pandemic to ensure the continuity of viable business and had advised Banks and
NBFCs to offer to its borrowers a Moratorium of three months from March 01, 2020 to May 31, 2020 for repayment
of loans. Subsequently, the Moratorium period was extended up to August 31, 2020 after extension of the lock down.
Accordingly, the repayment schedule of the Term loans as also the residual tenor of the Term Loans have been shifted
across the board by another three months after the moratorium period. The interest rate charged during the
Moratorium period will be the contracted rate at which loan agreements were entered into with the borrowers. The
Interest charged during the moratorium period will be collected after the revised last instalment due date based on
the moratorium granted by the company. Such Interest amounts would be collected in instalments and the instalment
amount will be equivalent to the current instalment amount and the last instalment will be adjusted to arrive at the
present contracted rate of such loan agreements. In case of revolving working capital credit facilities in the form of
Floating Business Loans, Vehicle trade advance loans to dealers and working capital loans to borrowers (fuel, toll
loans etc.), the borrowers will be allowed deferment of another three months on payment of interest in respect of such
facilities during the period June 1, 2020 and August 31, 2020. The accumulated interest for the period March 1, 2020
to August 31, 2020 will be converted into a funded interest term loan and the said funded term loan on account of
accumulated interest will be repayable by March 31,2021.
All employees had been advised to Work from Home for employees staying in COVID red zones, employees working
from home have been provided with Laptop/Desktop and internet connection.
As NBFC activities were declared as essential activities in April 2020, most of our offices have been working with
minimal staff. Further, we have restricted the staff attendance to alternate days at each office in a manner so as to
commensurate with the mandatory guidelines and rules laid by the Statutory Authority(s). Almost all the branches
offices are operational now.
Those who are required to work from the respective office locations, are doing so upon obtaining approval from the
local authorities subject to following of the mandatory guidelines prescribed by the Regulatory Bodies. The remaining
employees have been advised to Work from Home till further notice by the Management.
Further, permission of on-field visits at customer’s place is being provided after taking into account the magnitude of
the COVID-19 disease spread in the respective area of the customer, subject to adherence to mandatory guidelines
laid by the Statutory Authorities.
All staff attending the Corporate office/Administrative office/ Branch Offices or making field visit, have been strictly
advised to maintain social distancing, wear masks and carry sanitizers.
377
Sanitizers in adequate quantity are available in the Office for usage by the employees and we have strongly
recommended to use the same frequently. Moreover, our Offices and Branches are being sanitized regularly to ensure
the safety of the employees and all other required extensive arrangements as has been mandated by the Statutory
Authority, have also been made at the Corporate Office / Administrative office / Branch Offices. In furtherance thereto,
the Company has laid a Standard Operating Procedure (“SOP”) Guideline for all staffs and they have been instructed
to follow the same without exception, as, it is for their safety and well-being.
As and when the lockdown is lifted gradually by the Statutory Authority(s), the Company shall also accordingly raise
the maximum permissible employee attendance at the workplace.
As explained in detail in point no. 2 above, the Company is following a gradual transition from Work-from-Home
(WFH) to Work-from-Workplace (WFW), so that, stakeholders are served to the best of the ability of the Company
and the same time, the health and safety of the employees is also not compromised with.
The Company has also taken various cost optimization measures including pay cut in the range of 10% to 20% for
senior employees while for other employees it has been decided to manage with “No Increment policy and has decided
to go slow or further branch expansion. All the discretionary expenses like travel and business promotion are
curtailed.
In the ambit of the prevailing Force Majeure conditions, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is presently not
completely ascertainable and the same will depend on how quickly, the country’s economy recovers.
As per the current assessment, there is no significant impact on the Company’s capital and financial resources of the
Company. The Company would be exploring the various options to strengthen the capital base, balance sheet, growth
opportunities and to face COVID-19 led contingencies and events.
b. Profitability
The negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic will be reflected in the turnover and profitability of the Company
for the financial year 2020-21 – the level of the same cannot be ascertained at present. The Company has made
additional expected credit loss provision of Rs.909.64 crore in the financial statements for the year ended March31,
2020.
c. Liquidity position.
Our liquidity position has been adversely impacted, as, we have extended moratorium to our borrowers based on
Notification issued by RBI for COVID-19 regulatory package on March 27,2020 and May 23,2020. We hope that this
is a temporary phase and that, the Indian Economy should bounce back quickly.
In spite of tight liquidity position, our ability to service debts and other financial debt commitment has not been
affected as, our financial leveraging is low. Thus, at present, the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet the same.
The company has also applied for moratorium for the loans taken from banks and some of the banks have granted
moratorium and hopeful of receiving consent for moratorium from other banks.
378
The Company has adopted Indian Accounting Standard from the financial year 31st March 2019. As per the said
standards, the company is required to provide for the Expected credit losses on its lending business. The Company
expects increase in ECL due to extension of moratorium granted to its borrowers based on the regulatory requirements
and impact of COVID 19 on the overall economy. The company has taken into account impact of COVID-19 situation
on the macro economic conditions in the estimates and assumptions while assessing the ECL. The present ECL for on
account of COVID-19 pandemic are based on the assessment of current situation and the actual impairment loss could
be different due to uncertainty over actual end of pandemic and restoration of normalcy.
Internal financial reporting and control are functional as, checks and controls are being exercised through remote
access to systems by working from home during the shutdown period.
f. Disbursement of Loans
Disbursement of loan has been made to such borrowers who were identified and approved by the business team for
granting term loan, prior to lockdown. The funds have been/are being transferred to such borrowers by availing the
electronic money transfer facility of the Banks and accordingly, there has been no difficulty in transferring funds to
them. There are many proposals are in pipelines which could not be completed due to RTO office not functioning.
The Company has slowed down identifying new borrowers as, the same requires: (i) to make on-field visits at
borrowers’ place; (ii) to collect various documents; and various other measures - in order to establish the
creditworthiness and genuinity of the prospective borrower. (iii) The vehicles buying selling requires RTOs to work
full fledge to effect transfer of ownership and noting of hypothification.
The demand for availing loan products would start with the beginning of monsoon mostly from rural area to start with
and should pick up the demand in urban area as well when the economic activity starts fully.
6. Existing contracts/agreements where non-fulfilment of the obligations by any party will have significant impact
on the Company’s business:
The Company endeavors to perform its duties as agreed to in various executed operational contracts / agreements.
There has been no failure in performance by the Company of its obligations envisaged in contract / agreement entered
into by it.
Presently, there are no such existing contracts / agreements where non-fulfilment of the obligations by any party will
have significant impact on the Company’s business.
The HR department turned the ‘Lockdown’ into a new opportunity promoting culture for using new methods of efficient
working, striking work-life balance, switching to Work From Home (WFM), Employee Training through company’s
e-learning platform “Mycoach” and video based learnings were given prime importance and total of 24738 employees
were trained and assessed on their learnings. During the lockdown HR Department with the help of the regional teams
had engaged with the employees telephonically on various safety measures to be followed, learning options available
with the company and on customer engagement. Total of 16402 employees were covered during the lockdown. The
employees, in particular working in metro cities, who spend average 3 hours on commuting, spent same time on
discharging their official duties. The ‘Lockdown’ gave many new learnings, ideas and experience with respect to
effective communication techniques, efficient time management, thereby improving overall efficiency, cost
optimization. The importance of focusing on digital payment and use of advanced techniques for customer services,
effective use of Video conferencing meetings with employees, directors was also highlighted and understood during
‘Lockdown’ period. The Company’s field employees used Mobile Application ‘MNOVA’ and educated the customers
to use ‘My Shriram’ Mobile application for availing of various services in respect of the Company’s financial
products. The Company is ensuring the health and well-being of employees during the pandemic and creating
awareness amongst employees to strictly follow the ‘Social Distancing’. Due to many of its advantages, the HR
379
department is exploring the possibilities to progressively switching in a phased manner using the combinations WFW
and WFH by back-office staff for cost optimization and increase overall efficiency and mitigating the associated risks
of data safety and protection.
The Company’s opinion on various matters as envisaged above, are forward-looking statements which are based on
certain assumptions, risks, uncertainties and expectations of future events. The actual results, performance or
achievements can thus differ from those projected, depending on various factors over which, the Company does not
have any direct control.”

SECTION VII – LEGAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
Further, except as stated below, our Company is not aware of any pending litigation involving the Company which involves
issues of moral turpitude or criminal liability, material violations of statutory regulations or proceedings relating to
economic offences.
Litigations involving our Company
1. Our Company filed an appeal before the Supreme Court of India (Special Leave Petition (Civil) 35142 of 2009)
against an order dated November 18, 2009 passed by the High Court of Kerala in connection with a writ petition filed
challenging the action of Commissioner of Commercial Taxes, Kerala, directing our Company to register under the
provisions of the Kerala Money Lenders Act, 1958. The High Court of Kerala, pursuant to the impugned order, had
dismissed an appeal in connection with the aforesaid writ petition, thereby inter alia confirming the aforesaid
direction of the Commissioner of Commercial Taxes, Kerala. The Supreme Court of India admitted the appeal and,
pursuant to an order dated December 16, 2009, stayed the operation of the impugned order. The matter is currently
pending.
2. Our Company filed a writ petition (Writ Petition No. 47108/2011) on December 15, 2011, against the State of
Karnataka and others before the High Court of Karnataka inter alia seeking (a) a declaration that the provisions of
the Karnataka Money Lenders Act, 1961 and the Karnataka Prohibition of Charging Exorbitant Interest Act, 2004
(collectively, the “Impugned Statutes”) do not apply to NBFCs and the Company, in particular, (b) to strike down
the Impugned Statutes, (c) a writ in the nature of certiorari or other suitable writ, order or direction quashing an order
issued by the Karnataka State Money Lending Department dated September 29, 2011 and proceedings initiated
against our Company pursuant to the Impugned Statutes, (d) interim relief by staying the proceedings initiated against
our Company pursuant to the Impugned Statutes and (e) restraining the Karnataka state money lending authorities
from initiating action against our Company under the aforesaid statutes. The High Court of Karnataka by its order
dated December 16, 2011 stayed the proceedings initiated against our Company pursuant to the Impugned Statutes.
The matter is currently pending.
3. Our Company filed an appeal before the Supreme Court of India, Special Leave Petition (Civil) (9711-9713) of 2014
against the common final judgment and order dated October 8, 2013 passed by the High Court of Judicature at
Calcutta in Writ Petition No. 24 of 2010, Writ Petition No. 4 of 2011 and Writ Petition No. 6 of 2011 challenging
the decision to uphold the imposition of value added tax on NBFCs disposing off vehicles for recovery of loans taken
by borrowers by treating said NBFCs as dealers as defined under Section 2 (11) of the West Bengal Value Added
Tax 2003. The matter is currently pending.
4. Our Company, on April 8, 2019, received a showcause notice dated March 30, 2019 (the “SCN”) from the Directorate
of Enforcement which functions under the aegis of Ministry of Finance, Government of India. The SCN relates to
the issue of warrants by SHMPL to a non-resident investor pursuant to a share subscription agreement executed in
2006. It is alleged in the SCN that warrants issued by SHMPL were not permitted instruments which could be issued
to non-resident investors in 2006 and accordingly there was a contravention of provisions of the FEMA and the
relevant rules made thereunder to the extent of Rs. 24,360.12 lacs. The SCN was issued to our Company in its capacity
as a successor in interest of SHMPL to show cause as to why adjudication proceedings should not be initiated against
it and certain individuals who were the then directors of SHMPL at the relevant time. During 2006 and 2007, SHMPL,
which was classified as an investment holding company under the applicable regulatory regime, issued equity shares
and warrants to Newbridge India Investments II Limited (the “Newbridge”). The approval granted by the Foreign
Investment Promotion Board, also functioning under the aegis of Ministry of Finance, Government of India (“FIPB”)
(the “FIPB Approval”), permitted SHMPL to issue equity shares to the Newbridge and investment by SHMPL in
equity shares and warrants to be issued by three non-banking financial companies in which 100% foreign direct
investment was permitted under the extant direct foreign investment policy of the government of India, utilising the
monies received from the Newbridge. All warrants issued by SHMPL to the Newbridge were converted into equity
386
shares of SHMPL in 2006 and 2007. There was a delay on the part of SHMPL in filing the relevant forms indicating
the receipt of monies from the Newbridge and issue of equity shares and warrants against such receipt, and the
relevant forms were filed in 2013 (after amalgamation of SHMPL with our Company). Our Company, in the capacity
of successor of interest of erstwhile SHMPL had filed a compounding application for the delay and had paid the
penalty imposed on us by the RBI. At this time, the RBI had referred to the FIPB Approval (as amended by a
subsequent letter from the FIPB dated January 31, 2006) and indicated that since the FIPB Approval only mentioned
the issue of equity shares to the Newbridge, a post-facto approval/ clarification be obtained from the FIPB regarding
issue of warrants to the Newbridge. Accordingly, our Company had, in a letter dated March 14, 2013 written to the
FIPB, in response to which a letter dated March 20, 2013 was received by our Company from the FIPB stating that
the policy regarding issue of warrants was not explicit in the year 2006 when the warrants in question were issued by
then SHMPL and that since the warrants in question have already been converted into equity shares, there was no
requirement of their approval. In the years 2016 and 2017, the Enforcement Directorate raised queries in relation to
the aforementioned issue of warrants in the year 2006 by SHMPL, to which our Company has responded and provided
all documents requested, including by way of personal appearances and submissions made by our executive director
and senior management personnel. Pursuant thereto, the Company received the SCN on April 8, 2019. Our Company
has filed its reply to the SCN on June 6, 2019 setting out why the Company believes that the issuance of the SCN
was not warranted. The Company received an order dated March 4, 2020 from the Directorate of Enforcement (“ED”)
which imposed a penalty of Rs. 50,000,000 on the Company in connection with the matter citing contravention of
provisions of Section 6(3)(b) of FEMA, 1999 read with Regulation 4 of Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or
Issue of Security by a Person Resident outside India) Regulations, 2000. In this regard, the ED has also levied a
penalty of Rs. 5,000,000, each on (i) our Director Mr. Ravi Devaki Venkataramam (the then director of erstwhile
SHMPL) and (ii) two persons, the then directors of the erstwhile SHMPL. Our Company has further filed a writ
petition dated June 4, 2020 before the High Court of Madras, requesting, interalia, for a stay of the order dated March
4, 2020. On July 1, 2020, the High Court of Madras has admitted the Company's writ petition challenging the order
dated March 04, 2020 of the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) levying penalty of Rs. 50,000,000 on the Company
and granted conditional stay order with the direction to the Company to deposit 25% of the penalty amount in the
Court and the three persons to deposit 10% of their respective penalty amounts with the court within four weeks. The
matter is currently pending.
5. Transgulf Frozen Food Containers Private Limited had filed, a first information report against, interalia, our
Company, our former director Mr. Arun Duggal and our Director Mr. Umesh Govind Revankar, on December 26,
2014 at the Kavi Nagar Police Station, District Ghaziabad under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B of the Indian
Penal Code, 1860. Subsequently, a charge sheet was filed and a criminal case no. 10030 of 2016 read with case no.
2784/2017 was initiated against our Company, our former director Mr. Arun Duggal and our Director, Mr. Umesh
Govind Revankar before the court of ACJM VI, Ghaziabad. Thereafter, the accused had filed certain applications
before the High Court for quashing of chargesheet which was dismissed by the High Court. In the interim the
Magistrate, Ghaziabad had issued directions to the accused to appear and subsequently issued bailable and thereafter
non-bailable warrants against the accused. The accused have currently received bail and the matter is currently
pending before the Magistrate, Ghaziabad for framing of charges.
6. A criminal application (Cri.M.A.No.604/2018) was filed by Mr. Sudhir Satyawan Kamble (the “Complainant”),
before the court of Judicial Magistrate First Class, Islampur (“JMFC”) against our Company, Shriram General
Insurance Corporation Limited and certain present and past Directors of our Company. This application was
prompted by the denial of an insurance claim for a sum of Rs. 20 lacs by Shriram General Insurance Corporation
Limited (“SGICL”) in the Motor Accidents Claim Tribunal in relation to a tempo (vehicle no. MH-10-AQ-2171)
purchased by one Mr. Samir Sikandar Mulla, pursuant to a loan availed from the Company. The said tempo was
involved in an accident with a motorcycle resulting in the death of one person and injury to one of riders of the
motorcycle. Mr. Mulla claimed to have insured his tempo with SGICL. However, the claim made by him in the Motor
Accident Claim Tribunal against SGICL was denied on the ground that the insurance policy taken by Mr. Mulla was
bogus and SGICL had not issued any policy to him. The criminal application was filed alleging that our Company
and SGICL had, inter alia, committed the offences of criminal breach of trust, cheating and forgery, against Mr.
Mulla. On October 8, 2018 the JMFC had passed an ex-parte order against our Company directing that the complaint
filed by the Complainant be treated as a first information report (“FIR”) for investigation by the Islampur police. In
response to the order of the JMFC above, on November 19, 2018, our Company and certain directors named in the
complaint filed a revision application (Cri.Revi. Application no.32/2018) before the Court of Additional District and
Session Judge at Islampur, inter alia, for setting aside and/or correcting the order of the JMFC as being grossly
erroneous, where the Company contended that the Complainant is neither a borrower of the Company nor had any
dealings with our Company / our directors and had no locus standi to file the complaint in respect of which the order
387
dated October 08, 2018 was passed by the JMFC. It was also contended that the said order was passed without giving
the Company and certain directors of the Company a proper and legal opportunity of being heard.
The Additional District and Session Judge at Islampur, vide an order dated November 21, 2018, had stayed the order
dated October 8, 2018 passed by JMFC. By subsequent order dated February 6, 2019, the Additional District and
Session Judge at Islampur has partially allowed the revision application made by our Company and the matter was
remanded to the trial court for fresh inquiry at its original stage. On March 27, 2019, the complainant filed an
application for impleading the directors of SGICL including Mr. Umesh Revankar, who is also one of our directors,
as part of the criminal proceedings . The matter is currently pending.
7. Mr. Praveen Sharma has filed a first information report dated August 3, 2015 under Sections 406, 420, 465 and 506
of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, against, interalia, our Director, Mr. Umesh Govind Revankar in relation to non-
payment of his fees. The matter is currently pending before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lucknow. Thereafter, Mr.
Revankar and certain other defendants had filed a petition before the High Court seeking quashing of the FIR. The
petition has been disposed off by the High Court by way of an order dated April 25, 2016 on the ground that the cause
of action was purely of a civil nature and with a direction to the State of UP to file the final report. The complainant
has subsequently filed a protest petition before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lucknow, which is currently pending.
8. Mr. Abhishek Shukla has filed a first information report dated October 18, 2015 under Sections 406 and 420 of the
Indian Penal Code, 1860, against, interalia, our Director, Mr. Umesh Govind Revankar in relation to non-payment
of his fees. The matter is currently pending before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lucknow. Thereafter, a petition by
the defendants was filed before the High Court seeking quashing of the FIR. The petition has been disposed off by
the High Court by way of an order dated April 1, 2016 on the ground that the cause of action was purely of a civil
nature and with a direction to the State of UP to file the final report. The matter is currently pending. The complainant
has subsequently filed a protest petition before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lucknow, which is currently pending.
9. Certain criminal cases and recovery suits have been filed by our Company against various parties in relation to alleged
violations arising in the ordinary course of our business and operations under, amongst others, the Indian Penal Code.
These matters are currently pending at various stages of adjudication.

INVESTORS MAY PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EQUITY SHARES CAN BE TRADED ON THE STOCK
EXCHANGES ONLY IN DEMATERIALIZED FORM.
The procedure for availing the facility for Allotment of Rights Equity Shares in this Issue in the dematerialised form
is as under:
1. Open a beneficiary account with any depository participant (care should be taken that the beneficiary account
should carry the name of the holder in the same manner as is registered in the records of our Company. In the
case of joint holding, the beneficiary account should be opened carrying the names of the holders in the same
order as registered in the records of our Company). In case of Investors having various folios in our Company
with different joint holders, the Investors will have to open separate accounts for such holdings. Those Investors
who have already opened such beneficiary account(s) need not adhere to this step.
2. It should be ensured that the depository account is in the name(s) of the Investors and the names are in the same
order as in the records of our Company or the Depositories.
3. The responsibility for correctness of information filled in the Application Form vis-a-vis such information with
the Investor’s depository participant, would rest with the Investor. Investors should ensure that the names of
the Investors and the order in which they appear in Application Form should be the same as registered with the
Investor’s depository participant.
4. If incomplete or incorrect beneficiary account details are given in the Application Form, the Investor will not
get any Rights Equity Shares and the Application Form will be rejected.
5. The Rights Equity Shares will be allotted to Applicants only in dematerialized form and would be directly
credited to the beneficiary account as given in the Application Form after verification or demat suspense
account (pending receipt of demat account details for resident Eligible Equity Shareholders holding Equity
Shares in physical form/ with IEPF authority/ in suspense, etc.). Allotment advice, refund order (if any) would
be sent directly to the Applicant by email and, if the printing is feasible, through physical dispatch, by the
Registrars but the Applicant’s depository participant will provide to him the confirmation of the credit of such
Rights Equity Shares to the Applicant’s depository account.
6. Non-transferable Allotment advice/ refund intimation will be directly sent to the Investors by the Registrar, by
email and, if the printing is feasible, through physical dispatch.
7. Renouncees will also have to provide the necessary details about their beneficiary account for Allotment of
Rights Equity Shares in this Issue. In case these details are incomplete or incorrect, the Application is liable to
be rejected.
