Unless stated otherwise and unless the context requires otherwise, the financial data used in this Tranche II Prospectus is
on a consolidated basis.
Further, Q1 2023 Unaudited Standalone Financial Results and Q1 2023 Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results are
not indicative of full year results and are not comparable with annual financial information. Any discrepancies in the
12
tables included herein between the amounts listed and the totals thereof are due to rounding off.
Unless stated otherwise, macroeconomic and industry data used throughout the Shelf Prospectus and this Tranche II
Prospectus has been obtained from publications prepared by providers of industry information, government sources and
multilateral institutions. Such publications generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from
sources believed to be reliable but that their accuracy and completeness are not guaranteed and their reliability cannot be
assured. Although the Issuer believes that industry data used in the Shelf Prospectus and this Tranche II Prospectus is
reliable, it has not been independently verified. Further, the extent to which the market and industry data presented in the
Shelf Prospectus and this Tranche II Prospectus is meaningful depends on the readers’ familiarity with and understanding
of methodologies used in compiling such data.
In this Tranche II Prospectus, all references to ‘Rupees’/‘₹’/‘INR’/ ‘₹’ are to Indian Rupees, the official currency of the
Republic of India.
Except where stated otherwise in this Tranche II Prospectus, all figures have been expressed in ‘in millions’. All
references to ‘million/million/mn.’ Refer to one million, which is equivalent to ‘ten lakhs’ or ‘ten lacs’, the word
‘lakhs/lacs/lac’ means ‘one hundred thousand’ and ‘Crore’ means ‘ten million’ and ‘billion/bn./billions’ means ‘one
hundred crores’.
Certain figures contained in this Tranche II Prospectus, including financial information, have been subject to rounding
adjustments. Unless set out otherwise, all figures in decimals, including percentage figures, have been rounded off to two
decimal points. In certain instances, (i) the sum or percentage change of such numbers may not conform exactly to the
total figure given; and (ii) the sum of the numbers in a column or row in certain tables may not conform exactly to the
total figure given for that column or row. Further, any figures sourced from third party industry sources may be rounded
off to other than two decimal points to conform to their respective sources.
Certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other statistical information relating to our operations and financial
performance have been included in this Tranche II Prospectus. We compute and disclose such non-GAAP financial
measures and such other statistical information relating to our operations and financial performance as we consider such
information to be useful measures of our business and financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures and
other statistical and other information relating to our operations and financial performance may not be computed on the
basis of any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry and therefore may not be comparable to financial
measures and statistical information of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other companies
and are not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by Ind AS and may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures presented by other companies.
Any industry and market data used in this Tranche II Prospectus consists of estimates based on data reports compiled by
Government bodies, professional organizations and analysts, data from other external sources including CARE, available
in public domain and knowledge of the markets in which we compete. These publications generally state that the
information contained therein has been obtained from publicly available documents from various sources believed to be
reliable, but it has not been independently verified by us, its accuracy and completeness is not guaranteed and its reliability
cannot be assured. Although we believe that the industry and market data used in this Tranche II Prospectus is reliable,
it has not been independently verified by us. The data used in these sources may have been reclassified by us for purposes
of presentation. Data from these sources may not be comparable. The extent to which the industry and market data
presented in this Tranche II Prospectus is meaningful depends on the reader’s familiarity with and understanding of the
methodologies used in compiling such data. There are no standard data gathering methodologies in the industry in which
we conduct our business and methodologies and assumptions may vary widely among different market and industry
sources.

securities business;
• Occurrence of natural calamities, pandemics, or natural disasters affecting the areas in which our Company has

SECTION II – RISK FACTORS
An investment in this type of security involves a certain degree of risk. The investor should carefully consider all the

Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also have
an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. The market prices of the
NCDs could decline due to such risks and you may lose all or part of your investment.
The financial and other related implications of the risks described in this section, have been disclosed to the extent
quantifiable as on the date of this Tranche II Prospectus. This Tranche II Prospectus also contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including events described below and elsewhere in this Tranche
II Prospectus.
Unless otherwise stated or unless context requires otherwise, the financial information used in this section is derived
from and should be read in conjunction with the Reformatted Financial Information and the Q1 2023 Unaudited
Financial Results as included in this Tranche II Prospectus. In this section, unless the context otherwise requires, a

reference to “we”, “us”, “our” or “our Group” is a reference to Edelweiss Financial Services Limited on a consolidated
basis.
1. The financing industry is becoming increasingly competitive, which creates significant pricing pressures for us
to retain existing customers and solicit new business. Our growth will depend on our ability to compete effectively
in this environment.
Our business operates in a highly competitive market and we face significant competition from other players in the
financing industry. Many of our competitors are large institutions, which may have a larger customer base, funding
sources, branch networks and capital base compared to us. Some of our competitors may be more flexible and better
positioned to take advantage of market opportunities. This competition is likely to further intensify as a result of
liberalisation and 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. Particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has
been a significant decline in economic activities and since the end of March, 2020, the macroeconomic impacts became
significant, exhibited by, among other things, a rise in unemployment and market volatility. While the COVID related
lockdown of 2020 was gradually relaxed later in the year 2020, the emergence of second COVID-19 wave in the year
2021 forced state governments across India to again impose selective lockdowns since March 2021. While these
lockdowns are now being lifted and India has already achieved a milestone of 1 billion vaccinations to lessen the spread
of the epidemic, the economic activity is still expected to take some more time before it returns to its earlier growth path.
Our Statutory Auditors have included a matter of emphasis pertaining to COVID 19. For further details, please refer to
risk factor number 28 on page 32 of this Tranche II Prospectus.
According to CARE report, FY22 started with the country being hit by the second wave of the pandemic which saw
lockdowns and restrictions being re-imposed across states for 2 - 3 months. This impeded economic output in Q1FY21
and led to a year-on-year (Y-o-Y) decline of 23.8% in GDP. By the end of Q4FY21, the economy paved its way to
recovery. The Indian economy bounced back strongly in Q1FY22 with 20.1% Y-o-Y growth due to low base. The easing
of lockdowns and restrictions across states since June coupled with the decline in Covid-19 cases and higher vaccination
rate facilitated higher economic activity at a faster than expected and this was reflected in the GDP for the Q2FY22 which
grew annually by 8.5%. The dip in Q3FY22 of 5.4% can be attributed to fading base effect. India’s economy recorded
modest growth at 4.1% in Q4FY22, down from 5.4% in the previous quarter. The economy was hit by the third wave of
Covid-19 during the quarter. (Source: CARE Report)
Our credit business competes based on a number of factors, including cost effective sources of funding, successful
implementation of new technologies and rationalising branches to manage operational costs. Loans are becoming
increasingly standardised and terms such as variable (or floating) rate interest options, lower processing fees and monthly
reset periods are becoming increasingly common in the Indian financial sector, thereby increasing competition.
17
Our advisory business includes wealth management including capital markets, asset management and asset reconstruction
businesses. However, the Wealth Management Business has ceased to be a subsidiary of our Company and became an
Associate with effect from March 26, 2021. We compete based on a number of factors, including client relationships,
reputation, the abilities and past performance of our professionals, market focus and the relative quality and price of our
services and products. We have experienced intense price competition with respect to our brokerage business, including
large block trades, spreads and trading commissions. Trends toward multiple book runners, co-managers and multiple
financial advisors handling transactions, have continued and could adversely affect our revenues, even during periods
where the volume and number of investment banking transactions are increasing. Competitive factors with respect to our
asset management activities include the amount of firm capital we can invest in new products and our ability to increase
assets under management, including our ability to attract capital for new investment funds.
Our insurance business competes for business based on various factors, including product features, price, coverage
offered, quality of customer service, distribution network, relationships with agents, bancassurance partners and other
intermediaries, brand recognition, size of operations, financial strength and credit ratings. In addition, life insurance
products also compete with certain other financial services products which may not be exactly comparable but provide
slightly different alternatives to the customers. For example, in the area of savings-oriented insurance products, we
compete with mutual fund companies, bank fixed deposits and Government small saving schemes. Some of our
competitors may offer higher commissions or more attractive rewards to agents and other distribution intermediaries or
offer similar insurance products at lower pricing. There have also been a few takeovers of insurance companies or
companies in other segments and as a result of such consolidation, competitors may emerge that are larger in scale and/or
have other competitive advantages. We may not be able to sustain our growth considering competitive pressure or other
factors.
If we are unable to effectively respond to these various competitive pressures, it could result in a decrease of market
share, decrease in our margins and spreads, reduced customer base, increase in pricing of our products, increase in
operating expenses, as well as higher attrition rates among management and sales staff, lower growth rates, or even losses,
which could have material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. F
2. We have grown in the past but there can be no assurance that our growth will continue at a similar rate or that
we will be able to manage our rapid growth. If we are unable to implement or sustain our growth strategy
effectively it could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
We have reported significant growth in our profits or loan book size in the past. Our credit book has degrown during
Fiscal 2020 and 2021 due to NBFC industry facing resources crunch since a credit event in September 2018 and now
stands at ₹ 1,04,739.31 million as on March 31, 2022. Our consolidated profit for the year attributable to owners of the
parent was ₹ 1,887.84 million for the Fiscal 2022. While we were profitable during the Fiscal 2022 and will continue to
endeavour to grow our profitability going forward, no assurance can be given that our growth will continue at a similar
rate or that we will be able to manage our rapid growth. If we are unable to implement or sustain our growth strategy
effectively it could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our growth strategy includes growing our asset management, asset reconstruction, and insurance businesses and
expanding our retail customer base. A principal component of our strategy is to continue diversifying the development
of our new portfolio of products to suit our customers’ needs and increase the scale of our businesses. This growth strategy
will place significant demands on our management, financial and other resources and will require us to continuously
develop and improve our operational, financial and internal controls. Continuous expansion increases the challenges
involved in financial management, recruitment, training and retaining high quality human resources, preserving our
culture, values and entrepreneurial environment as well as developing and improving our internal administrative
infrastructure. We also face a number of operational risks in executing our growth strategy. Any rapid growth in our
credit book exposes us to a wide range of increased risks, including business and operational risks, such as the possibility
of increased NPA, fraud risks as well as regulatory and legal risks. Dealing with a large base of retail clients in businesses
like retail credit, insurance, asset management and brokerage also exposes us to a wide range of increased risks, including
business, regulatory, legal, fraud, compliance and reputation risks.
The insurance industry or other financial services industry segments have also seen a few takeovers in the recent past. As
a result of this consolidation, competitors may emerge that are larger in scale and/or have other competitive advantages.
We may not be able to sustain our growth in light of competitive pressure or other factors. Additionally, there may be
scenarios wherein the newly launched products may not generate anticipated returns from the market or may have
negative impact on the returns and may be withdrawn. Business models may not succeed in the market and technological
and other costs incurred towards automating and developing new customer-friendly interfaces may not yield desired
results.
18
Our ability to sustain our rate of growth also depends, to a large extent, upon our ability to recruit trained and efficient
personnel, retain key managerial personnel, maintain effective risk management policies, continue to offer products,
which are relevant to our target base of clients, develop managerial experience to address emerging challenges and ensure
a high standard of client service. 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 our employees properly may result in an increase in employee attrition rate, a need to hire
additional employees, erosion in the quality of customer service, a diversion of the management’s resources, an increase
in our exposure to high-risk credit and an increase in costs for us. If we grow our credit book too rapidly or fail to make
proper assessments of credit risks associated with new customers, 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 are unable
to manage such growth it could disrupt our business prospects, impact our financial condition and adversely affect our
results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our rapid growth has placed and will continue to place significant demands on our operational, credit, financial and other
internal risk controls, including:
• preserving our asset quality as our geographical presence increases and our customer profile changes;
• developing and improving our products and delivery channels;
• recruiting, training and retaining sufficient skilled personnel;
• upgrading, expanding and securing our technology platform;
• stabilising our newly set up businesses;
• complying with regulatory requirements, including Know Your Customer (“KYC”) norms and other regulations;
and
• maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction.
If we are not successful in implementing or executing these operational measures and risk controls, we may not be able
to expand our business as we have in the past, and our growth rate may decline. We may not be able to manage our new
operations effectively or efficiently, which would mean that our operations would suffer, and our performance and
financial results as a whole would be materially and adversely affected.
3. Difficult conditions in financial markets can adversely affect our business, which could materially reduce our
revenue and income.
As a financial services firm, our businesses are materially affected by conditions in the domestic and global financial
markets, as well as economic conditions in India. We provide a variety of services and products to participants in the
Indian capital markets, including working capital funding and margin funding to share brokers, personal loans secured
by securities, initial public offering finance for retail customers, stock exchange clearing services, and depository
accounts. We also offer capital markets financing, broking services, distribution of initial public offerings, mutual funds,
and investment banking services. Further, the Company has divested its controlling stake in wealth management business
and it has ceased to be a subsidiary of our Company with effect from March 26, 2021, and as we have recently divested
70% stake in EGIBL to Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., our agency revenue is likely to be lower going forward. Apart from
that, if there is a prolonged or significant downturn or extreme volatility in the Indian capital markets, our revenue
generated from these products and services, as well as our net investment income and fund management fees, could
decrease, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition.
We also offer capital markets products and services to foreign institutional investors as part our Wealth Management
business. During periods of unfavourable market or economic conditions, the volume and value of primary and secondary
market transactions may decrease, thereby reducing the demand for our broking, investment banking and advisory
services and increasing price competition among financial services companies seeking such engagements. A market
downturn would likely lead to a decline in the volume of transactions that we execute for our customers as well as a
decrease in prices. Any decline in transaction volumes would lead to a decline in our revenues received from
commissions.
We have in the past incurred trading losses in certain of the equity investments, derivatives, fixed income securities and
commodities in our portfolio. Any significant or sustained trading losses could place the capital invested by us at risk,
thereby adversely affecting our consolidated business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
19
Our results of operations would be adversely affected by any reduction in the volume or value of investment banking and
broking transactions. In addition, in the event of a market downturn, the private equity funds for which we act as
investment advisors also may be impacted by reduced opportunities to exit and realise value from their investments. Our
profitability may also be adversely affected by our fixed costs and the possibility that we would be unable to scale back
other costs within a time frame sufficient to match any decreases in revenue relating to changes in market and economic
conditions. Market and economic climate may deteriorate in the future because of many factors beyond our control,
including rising interest rates or inflation, terrorism or political uncertainty, any adverse global or domestic events,
including events that may negatively impact liquidity and investment inflows from foreign and domestic investors.
Our ability to grow relatively recent business ventures such as retail financing, insurance, wealth management and asset
management and investment advisory services may also be limited in difficult market conditions. Performance of our
capital businesses such as investment of our excess liquidity through our internal liability management operations may
be affected due to conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions. A credit crunch in the markets or a
liquidity squeeze as being experienced by NBFC industry since September 2018 after the collapse of a AAA rated entity,
have increased the cost of borrowings for NBFC industry which may aggravate in future. A downturn in global market
conditions can also adversely affect the demand for credit funds, which may adversely affect not only our asset
management business but also our corporate credit business. A downturn in global or domestic economic conditions as
is being experienced now for the past two or three years, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic impact have worsened
the financial performance of companies like ours.
We are unable to quantify the impact of any such adverse market conditions on our business and/or financial condition.
Our operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of volatility in market conditions.
Therefore, period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be
relied upon as an indication of our future performance.
4. Our revenues are dependent on our sustained ability to successfully manage transactions and advisory
assignments and on managing client concentrations.
Our investment banking clients generally retain us on a short-term, engagement-by-engagement basis in connection with
investment banking services by offering equity capital markets services, corporate finance services, mergers and
acquisitions advisory and private equity syndication services to corporate clients and financial sponsors, rather than on a
recurring basis under long-term contracts. As these transactions are typically singular in nature and our engagements with
these clients may not recur, we must seek out new engagements when our current engagements are successfully
completed or are terminated. As a result, high activity levels in any period are not necessarily indicative of continued
high levels of activity in any subsequent period. If we are unable to generate a substantial number of new engagements
and generate fees from the successful completion of transactions, our business and results of operations would likely be
adversely affected.
The fees earned by our financial advisory business are typically payable upon the successful completion of a particular
transaction or financial advisory assignment. A decline in our financial advisory engagements or the market for advisory
services would adversely affect our business. Our financial advisory business operates in a highly competitive
environment where typically there are no long-term contracted sources of revenue. Each revenue-generating engagement
typically is separately solicited, awarded and negotiated. In addition, many businesses do not routinely engage in
transactions requiring our services. As a consequence, our fee-paying engagements with many clients are not predictable
and high levels of financial advisory revenue in one quarter are not necessarily predictive of continued high levels of
financial advisory revenue in future periods. In addition to the fact that most of our financial advisory engagements are
single, non-recurring engagements, we lose clients each year as a result of a client’s decision to retain other financial
advisors, the sale, merger or restructuring of a client, a change in a client’s senior management and various other causes.
As a result, our financial advisory revenue could decline materially due to such changes in the volume, nature and scope
of our engagements.
In addition, we have client concentrations in some of our lines of business such as institutional equities. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to attract large new clients to avoid an adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition.
5. We derive a portion of our revenue from our investment banking and securities business and are subject to various
risks associated with investment banking and securities business.
We provide investment banking services by offering equity capital markets services, corporate finance services, mergers
and acquisitions advisory and private equity syndication services to corporate clients and financial sponsors. Our
20
investment banking revenue depends on numerous factors, including, macroeconomic factors, the general capital markets
environment, and the market appetite for mergers and acquisitions. As a result, our investment banking income has
historically varied significantly from period to period, and we expect it to continue to do so.
Our investment banking business exposes us to various risks including the failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals
or failure to timely execute a mandate, which may subject us to regulatory penalties and adversely affect our business.
Moreover, the offering of securities of listed companies, are subject to a review process conducted by SEBI, making the
result and timing of these reviews beyond our control, and may cause substantial delays to, or the termination of, securities
offerings. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that regulatory approvals on securities offerings will be granted in a
timely manner or at all in the future and a significant decline in the approval rate of the securities offerings advised by us
could reduce our revenue from investment banking as typically our fees is received only upon the completion of a
transaction.
We depend on the accuracy and completeness of information provided by or on behalf of our investment banking clients
and any incomplete or inaccurate information furnished by our clients may lead to regulatory authorities issuing adverse
observations in relation to public issues managed by us, resulting in loss of reputation. We are subject to regulatory
sanctions, fines, penalties, investor compensation or other disciplinary actions or other legal liabilities for conducting
inadequate due diligence in connection with an offering or the post transaction compliance supervision, fraud or
misconduct committed by issuers, their agents, other sponsors or ourselves, misstatements and omissions in disclosure
documents, or other illegal or improper activities that occurred during the course of the merchant banking or advisory
process, or be subject to litigation and/ or regulatory action, in and outside India, arising from facilitating the sale of
securities to investors.
As part of our investment banking business, our employees are exposed to sensitive data in relation to companies,
including material non-public information and any unauthorized dissemination of such information, or its use for illicit
trading purposes, by our employees could subject us to fines and regulatory actions, damage our client relationships and
harm our reputation. Further, if our valuation and pricing for various investment banking mandates, which are based on
estimates as to future growth prospects of the clients, the industry and the likely economic and political scenario, are
inadequate, it could impact our reputation, client relationships and prospects.
Further, unfavourable market conditions and capital markets volatility including cyclicality of business, have caused or
may also cause delays to, or the termination of, securities offerings advised by us, or may result in fewer mandates, which
may in turn materially adversely affect our revenue from the investment banking business.
6. High levels of customer defaults and the resultant non-performing assets could adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations and future financial performance.
Our credit business involves lending money and accordingly, we are subject to risks of customer default, which includes
default or delays in repayment of principal and/or interest on the loans we provide to customers. Customers may default
on their obligations as a result of various factors, including certain external factors, which may not be within our control
such as developments in the Indian economy and the real estate market, movements in global markets, changes in interest
rates, changes in regulations, government policies and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Any negative trends or
financial difficulties affecting our customers could increase the risk of their default. Our customers could also be
adversely affected by factors such as, bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, lack of business and operational failure. If our
customers fail to repay loans in a timely manner or at all, then our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition
will be adversely impacted. If we are not able to successfully manage the risks associated with lending to these customers,
then it may become difficult for us to make recoveries on these loans. We may also experience higher delinquency rates
due to prolonged adverse economic conditions or a sharp increase in interest rates. Any increase in delinquency rates
could result in a reduction in our total interest income (i.e., our accrued interest income from loans, including any interest
income from credit substitutes) and as a result, lower revenue from our operations, while increasing our costs due to
increased expenses associated with the servicing and collection of delinquent loans. We may also be required to make
loss provisions in respect of loans to such customers in accordance with applicable regulations and, in certain cases, may
be required to write-off such loans. This is also corroborated by the fact that our loan loss provisions and write offs have
been at an elevated levels during the past year or two.
We have previously faced certain instances of customers defaulting and/or failing to repay dues in connection with loans
or finance provided by us. We have, in certain instances, initiated legal proceedings to recover amounts due from
delinquent customers. For further details in relation to some of such litigations, see “Outstanding Litigations” on page
180. Customer defaults could also adversely affect our levels of NPA and increase our provisions made for our NPA,
which could in turn adversely affect our operations, cash flows and profitability. Our Gross NPA were 2.51%, 6.71% and
21
3.20% of our gross advances as at March 31 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our Net NPA were 1.80%, 5.84% and
2.75% of our gross advances as at March 31 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Though there can be no assurance that
the trend of improvement in the asset quality will be maintained in the future. As our loan portfolio matures, we may
experience increased defaults in principal or interest repayments. If we are not able to control or reduce our level of NPA,
the overall quality of our loan portfolio may deteriorate, and our results of operations may be adversely affected. Our
total provision cover was 188.79%, 70.46% and 144.09% as at March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our loan
loss provisions may not be comparable to that of other similar financial institutions. There can be no assurance that there
will be no further deterioration in our provisioning coverage ratio or that the percentage of NPA that we will be able to
recover will be similar to our past experience in recovering our NPA. In the event of any deterioration in the quality of
our loan portfolio, there could be further adverse impact on our results of operations. If we are unable to effectively
perform credit appraisal, portfolio monitoring and recovery processes and the related deterioration in the credit quality
of our loan portfolio, the proportion of NPA in our loan portfolio could increase, which would, in turn, have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
7. We may not be able to recover the full value of collateral or amounts sufficient to cover the outstanding amounts
due under defaulted loans on a timely basis or at all, or the value of collateral may decrease, which could adversely
affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
The value of collateral that we take for loans given by us is dependent on various factors, including (i) prevailing market
conditions, (ii) the general economic and political conditions in India, (iii) growth of the stock markets and real estate
sector in India and the areas in which we operate, (iv) any change in statutory and/or regulatory requirements and (v) the
credit profile of our borrower.
Delays in recovery, bankruptcy and foreclosure proceedings, defects in the title and delays in obtaining regulatory
approvals for the enforcement of such collaterals may affect the valuation of the collateral. As a result, we may not be
able to recover the full value of the collateral for the loans provided by our customers within the expected timeframe or
at all. Further, legal proceedings may have to be initiated by us in order to recover overdue payments on loans and as a
consequence, the money and time spent on initiating legal proceedings may adversely affect our cash flow.
The value of the security provided by the borrowers to us may be subject to a reduction in value on account of various
reasons. While our customers may provide alternative security to cover the shortfall, the realisable value of the security
for the loans provided by us in the event of liquidation may continue to be lower than the combined amount of the
outstanding principal amount, interest and other amounts recoverable from the customers.
Any default in the repayment of outstanding credit obligations by our customers may also expose us to losses. A failure
or delay recovering the loan value from sale of collateral security could expose us to potential losses. Any such losses
could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Furthermore, the process of litigation
to enforce our legal rights against defaulting customers in India is generally a slow and potentially expensive process.
Accordingly, it may be difficult for us to recover amounts owed by defaulting customers in a timely manner or at all.
8. Any adverse development in the real estate sector would negatively affect our results of operations.
A significant portion of our credit book is exposed to the real estate sector. In addition, our Asset reconstruction business
also has exposure to loans to companies in the real estate sector. Our wholesale mortgage financing enables developers
to raise money for the development of real estate projects. Our wholesale mortgage financing are usually loans against
real estate collateral and cash flows from real estate projects, principally for residential housing projects, to meet short-
term and medium-term requirements.
Our wholesale mortgage, retail mortgages and SME & business loans are exposed to the real estate sector and any
significant decline in property prices can adversely affect our ability to realise the value of our collateral or fully recover
principal and interest in the event of a default. Delay in completion of real estate developments may also affect the value
of our collateral and our ability to enforce our rights. Failure to recover the expected value of collateral could expose the
Company to losses and, in turn, result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and
financial condition. Following the introduction of the SARFAESI Act, we are allowed to foreclose on secured property
after 60 days’ notice to a borrower, whose loan has been classified as non-performing. Although the enactment of the
SARFAESI Act has strengthened the rights of creditors by allowing expedited enforcement of security in an event of
default, there is still no assurance that we will be able to realize the full value of our collateral, due to, among other things,
delays on our part in taking action to secure the property, delays in bankruptcy foreclosure proceedings, stock market
downturns, defects in the perfection of collateral and fraudulent transfers by borrowers.
22
Further, among the various regulatory developments that have impacted the real estate sector recently, we believe that
the implementation of the Real Estate Regulation and Development Act, 2016 (the “RERA Act”) is expected to have the
biggest impact over the long term. After notification of certain Sections of the RERA Act with effect from May 2016,
the full provisions of the RERA Act became effective from May 2017 onwards. Subsequent to this, the obligations of
real estate project developers under the provisions of the RERA Act, including mandatory project registration, enhanced
disclosure norms and penal provisions for violation of rules have become effective across India. While most of the state
governments have notified rules in relation to the RERA Act, other states are in the process of doing so.
To ensure compliance with the requirements of the RERA Act, companies in the real estate sector may need to allocate
additional resources, which may increase compliance and they may face regulatory actions or be required to undertake
remedial steps, which may have an adverse effect the business, operations and financial condition of various companies
in the sector leading to less than anticipated growth in the housing sector, resulting in adverse effect on our business.
9. If we are unable to recover the amounts due from customers to whom we have provided unsecured loans it could
adversely affect our operations and profitability.
Our unsecured loan portfolio includes working capital loans to SMEs, rural finance and other loans. Since loans to these
customers are unsecured, upon the occurrence of an event of default, our ability to realise the amounts due would be
restricted to initiating legal proceedings for recovery. There can be no guarantee as to the length of time it could take to
conclude such legal proceedings or for the legal proceedings to result in a favourable decision for us. Moreover, since
these loans are uncollateralised, there can be no assurance that we will be able to fully recover the outstanding due, or at
all, even in the event of a favourable decision for us. With respect to some of our loans, we do not have any direct control
over how the customer actually utilises the loan proceeds. Although our credit appraisal system conducts a due diligence
during its underwriting process and exercises caution in its lending, any use of loan proceeds for purposes outside those
stated on the loan application form may negatively affect the repayment capacity of the borrowers to repay the loan. Any
failure to repay such loans could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
10. We and certain of our Promoters and Directors, group companies, Subsidiaries are involved in certain legal and
other proceedings and there can be no assurance that we and our Promoters and Directors, group companies,
Subsidiaries will be successful in any of these legal actions. In the event we are unsuccessful in litigating any of
the disputes, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
We are involved in certain legal proceedings, including civil suits, criminal proceedings, and tax disputes. These legal
proceedings are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts, authorities and tribunals. Some of our
Promoters and Directors, group companies, Subsidiaries have been named as parties to criminal and regulatory
proceedings, which are currently pending. For further details in relation to legal proceedings, among other things,
involving us and certain of our Promoters and Directors, group companies, Subsidiaries, see “Outstanding Litigations”
on page 180 of this Tranche II Prospectus.
We are required to devote management and financial resources in defence or prosecution of these disputes. There can be
no assurance that these disputes will not be determined against us or that we will not be required to pay all or a portion
of the disputed amounts or that we will be able to recover amounts for which we have filed recovery proceedings. Even
if we are successful in defending such cases, we will be subject to legal and other costs relating to defending such
litigation, and such costs may be substantial and not recoverable. There can also be no assurance that similar proceedings
will not be initiated against us in the future.
11. We extend margin funding loans or loans against securities to our clients and any default by a client coupled with
a downturn in the stock markets could result in substantial losses for us.
We extend ESOP loans and margin funding loans. ESOP and margin funding loans outstanding were ₹885.45 million,
₹1,030.84 million, ₹2,272.34 million and ₹19,742.76 million as at June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020,
respectively. As at June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 ESOP and margin funding loans as a percentage of
our credit book were 0.92%, 0.98%, 1.62% and 9.40% respectively. These loans are secured by liquid, marketable
securities at predetermined margin levels. Volatile stock markets or adverse movements in stock prices may cause the
collateral securing these loans to decrease significantly in value. Customers may also default on their obligations to us
due to various other factors, including but not limited to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, lack of business and operational
failure. As a result, it may be difficult to carry out a precise credit risk analysis on such clients. Although we use a
technology-based risk management system and follow strict internal risk management guidelines on portfolio monitoring,
including margin limits, collateral quality assessment and pre-determined margin call thresholds, a significant adverse
23
event or downturn in the securities market could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations, cash
flows and financial condition.
12. SMEs to which we provide loans may not perform as expected and we may not be able to control the non-
performance of such businesses.
We provide loans to SMEs against their assets and profits where we expect business growth. Our SME & other business
loan portfolio aggregated to ₹7,822.34 million, ₹9,603.61 million, ₹ 16,661.97 million and ₹ 23,370.38 million as at June
30, 2022, March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As at June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the SME
& other business loans as a percentage of our credit book were 8.15%, 9.17%, 11.85% and 11.13%, respectively. Some
of our SME loans are also unsecured. We do not manage, operate or control such SME businesses or entities and have
no control over those businesses’ functions or operations. Such SME businesses may make business, financial or
management decisions with which we do not agree, or the majority shareholders or the management of such companies
may make business, financial or management decisions that may be adverse to, or otherwise act in a manner that does
not serve, our best interests. The repayment of the loans extended to such SME businesses will depend to a significant
extent on the specific management team of the relevant borrower entity. The actions taken by the management of our
SME customers may lead to significant losses and affect their ability to repay our loans, and this may adversely affect
our financial performance.
13. Any material errors in our research or advise could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our equity brokerage group offers research based equity advisory and our institutional research team maintains an
extensive coverage of Indian stocks across sectors, and also provided macroeconomic and industry-related research as
part of our Wealth Management business. Our research is based on information obtained from reliable sources, however,
there can be no guarantee in the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the information. Any error or omission in the
information or for the results obtained from the use of such information may cause our research findings to be incorrect.
Further, certain industry and market data may be subject to assumptions and methodologies and assumptions vary widely
among different data sources and such assumptions may change based on various factors. There can be no assurance that
the assumptions are correct or will not change and, accordingly our research findings may be incorrect. We also provide
investment advisory services to our customers and our advice is based on various factors, including, information provided
to us by the customer or collected by us, our analysis of the risk profile of the customers, market assumptions and our
methodologies. Any errors in the factors that our advice depends on can lead to us to providing incorrect advice, which
can further lead to customer complaints and have an adverse effect on our business prospects and harm our reputation.
14. We may be impacted by volatility in interest rates, which could cause our net interest margins to decline and
adversely affect our profitability.
Our results of operations are substantially dependent upon our net interest income, which is a function of the amount of
our credit book and net interest margin. The net interest income for our credit NBFCs was as follows:
We borrow and lend funds on both fixed and floating rates. While any reduction in interest rates at which we borrow may
be passed on to our customers, we are unable to pass on any increase in interest rates to customers who have existing
loans on fixed interest rates. 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, and conversely, 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-earning
assets, our net interest income and net interest margin would be adversely impacted. Competitive pressure may also
require us to reduce the interest rates at which we lend to our customers without a proportionate reduction in interest rates
at which we raise funds. Our customers may also prepay their loans to take advantage of a declining interest rate
environment. An increase in interest rates could result in our customers, particularly those with variable interest rate
loans, prepaying their loans if less expensive loans are available from other sources. In a declining interest rate
environment, especially if the decline is sudden or sharp, we could be adversely affected by a decline in the market value
of fixed income securities and this could reduce our earnings from liability management operations.
24
Accordingly, our operations are susceptible to fluctuations in interest rates. Interest rates are highly sensitive and volatility
in interest rates could be a result of many factors, including the monetary policies of the RBI, inflationary pressures in
the economy, de-regulation of the financial services sector in India, domestic and international economic and political
conditions and inflation. An increase in inflation and consequent changes in bank rates, repo rates and reverse repo rates
by the RBI have led to an increase in interest rates on loans provided by banks and financial institutions and consequently,
interest rates in India have been volatile in recent financial periods. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
adequately manage our interest rate risk in the future, which could have an adverse effect on our net interest income and
net interest margins, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows
and financial condition.
15. Our businesses require substantial operating capital and any disruption in the sources of its funding or an
increase in its average cost of borrowings could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial
condition.
Our liquidity and ongoing profitability are, to a large extent, dependent upon our timely access to, and the costs associated
with, raising capital. Our funding requirements have historically been met through a combination of borrowings such as
term loans, working capital limits from banks, issuance of commercial papers and non-convertible debentures as well as
retained earnings. We are also in the process of diversifying our sources of funding by securitising some of our loan
portfolio. Our finance costs (on a consolidated basis) were ₹ 29,841.09 million, ₹ 38,340.33 million, ₹ 47,930.39 million
for the Fiscals 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our business growth, liquidity and profitability depend and will
continue to depend on our ability to access diversified, relatively stable and low-cost funding sources as well as our
financial performance, capital adequacy levels, credit ratings and relationships with lenders. As a financial services
company, we face certain additional regulatory restrictions on our ability to obtain financing. For example, recent
regulatory developments have affected NBFCs’ access to select funding sources and have affected costs of borrowings.
NBFC industry is also facing a resources crunch after a credit event in September 2018 which has also increased the cost
of borrowing for some players in the industry. Any adverse developments or changes in applicable laws and regulations,
which limit our ability to raise funds through securitisation or direct assignment transactions or through private
placements of non-convertible debentures can disrupt our sources of funding and as a consequence, could have a material
adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.
Our total borrowings (on a consolidated basis) was ₹ 2,27,109.83 million as at March 31, 2022 out of which ₹ 76,458.50
million were to mature in less than a year. Our total borrowings on standalone basis was ₹ 24,611.69 million as on June
30, 2022. In order to meet these debt obligations, we will either need to refinance, which may prove to be difficult in the
event of volatility in the credit markets, or alternatively, raise additional retained earnings or generate sufficient operating
cash flows to retire the debt. There can be no assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash to enable it to
service its existing debt or to fund its other liquidity needs.
Our ability to borrow funds and refinance existing debt may also be affected by a variety of factors, including deterioration
in our financial performance or profitability, regulatory policies impacting the ability of lenders to lend to certain sectors
such as NBFCs, liquidity in the credit markets, the strength of the lenders from which we borrow, the amount of eligible
collateral, credit rating downgrade and accounting changes that may impact calculations of covenants in our financing
agreements. An event of default, a significant negative ratings action by a rating agency, an adverse action by a regulatory
authority or a general deterioration in prevailing economic conditions that constricts the availability of credit may increase
our cost of funds and make it difficult for us to access financing in a cost-effective manner. A disruption in sources of
funds or increase in cost of funds as a result of any of these factors may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity
and financial condition.
Pursuing our growth strategy and introducing new product offerings to our customers will have an impact on our long-
term capital requirements. The market for such funds is competitive and our ability to obtain funds at competitive rates
will depend on various factors. If we are unable to access funds at an effective cost that is comparable to or lower than
our competitors, we may not be able to offer competitive interest rates for our loans. Our ability to raise funds on
acceptable terms and at competitive rates continues to depend on various factors, including the regulatory environment
and policy initiatives in India, liquidity in the market, developments in international markets affecting the Indian
economy, 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. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms
satisfactory to us or refinancing and in a timely manner, our ability to grow or support our business and to respond to
business challenges could be limited and our business prospects, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition
would be materially and adversely affected.
25
16. Any downgrade in our credit ratings could increase interest rates for refinancing our outstanding borrowings,
which would increase our financing costs, and adversely affect our future issuances of debt and our ability to
borrow on a competitive basis, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.
As on the date of this Tranche II Prospectus, various rating agencies had rated our company’s long-term credit ratings as:
“Acuité AA-/Negative (read as ACUITE double A minus rating with Negative outlook) (Outlook: Negative)”, “BWR

release including the risk and key drivers mentioned therein, please refer to “Annexure A” and “Annexure B” of this
Tranche II Prospectus.
Ratings reflect a rating agency’s opinion of our financial strength, operating performance, strategic position and ability
to meet our obligations. As a diversified set of businesses, many of whom are dependent upon our ability to access capital,
our liquidity and ongoing profitability are primarily dependent upon our timely access to, and the costs associated with
raising capital. Our business is significantly dependent on funding from the debt capital markets and commercial
borrowings. The demand for such funds is competitive and our ability to obtain funds at competitive rates will depend
on various factors, including our ability to maintain positive credit ratings. Any downgrade of our credit ratings would
increase borrowing costs and constrain our access to capital and debt markets. A reduction or withdrawal of the ratings
may also adversely affect the market price and liquidity of the non-convertible debentures and our ability to access the
debt capital markets. This would negatively affect our net interest margin and our business. Any downgrade of our credit
ratings could also increase the possibility of additional terms and conditions being imposed upon future financing or
refinancing arrangements. Any downgrade of our credit ratings could also accelerate the repayment of certain of our
borrowings in accordance with the applicable covenants of our borrowing arrangements. Any such adverse development
could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
We also face certain restrictions on our ability to raise money from international markets, which may further constrain
our ability to raise funds at attractive rates. While our borrowing costs have been competitive in the past due to our ability
to raise debt products, credit rating and our asset portfolio, we may not be able to offer competitive interest rates for loans
to our customers if we are unable to access funds at an effective cost that is comparable to or lower than our competitors.
This may adversely impact our business and results of operations.
17. We have diversified into our insurance business to reduce exposure to capital markets and credit cycles but we
may not be able to scale up and grow this business
We had entered the life insurance business in 2011 through a joint venture with Tokio Marine of Japan established.
Edelweiss Tokio Life Insurance Company Limited (“ETLI”) incurred a loss after tax after minority interest flowing
through our consolidated profit & loss account was ₹ 1.111.50 million, ₹ 1,054.32 million and ₹ 1,392.36 million for
Fiscals 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
While ETLI will be required to increase its capital requirements as it increases the scale of our life insurance business,
which will require further increase in ETLI’s capital base and may increase the loss after tax in our insurance business.
Further, Edelweiss General Insurance Company Limited (“EGICL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is an
IRDAI registered general insurance company. EGICL’s loss after tax was ₹ 1,048.89 million, ₹ 910.34 million and ₹
940.12 million, for Fiscals 2022, 2021 and 2020 respectively. Like our life insurance business, our general insurance
business is also a long gestation period business.
Our growth also depends on our ability to develop new products and product add-ons/extensions, expanding in target
markets and consumer segments with the perspective of growing market share and profitability. There may be scenarios
wherein the newly launched products may not generate anticipated returns from the market or may have negative impact
26
on the returns and may have to be withdrawn. Business models may not succeed in the market and technological and
other costs incurred towards automating and developing new customer-friendly interfaces may not yield desired results.
While we believe that in the long-term our diversification into the insurance business will provide a stable growth
platform that will reduce our exposure to capital markets and credit cycles, there can be no assurance that we will succeed
in building scale in this business or that our insurance business will ever achieve a profit after tax, and our failure to do
so could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
18. Any significant variation from the various assumptions and estimates used in the pricing of, and maintaining
reserves for, our insurance products, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition.
We price our life insurance products based on various assumptions and estimates relating to, among other factors,
benefits, claim patterns, mortality rates and persistency ratios etc. General insurance covers multiple product categories
and the key risks relate to parametric risks wherein we price our insurance products based on various assumptions and
estimates relating to, among other factors, benefits, claim frequency and claim severity etc.
We determine liabilities that provide for future obligations relating to our products, and our earnings from our Insurance
business are dependent on the extent to which actual benefits, claims and persistency ratios are consistent with the
assumptions and estimates we have used in the pricing of our insurance products and the determination of the appropriate
amount of policy reserves. Due to the nature of the underlying risks and the high degree of uncertainty associated with
the determination of liabilities relating to unpaid insurance policy claims, we cannot determine in any precise manner the
amount that will ultimately be required to settle such liabilities. The pricing of our insurance products, and the estimation
of reserves, involves various assumptions and estimates based on our management’s assessment of the information
available, historical data, probable forecast of future events that could affect our policyholders or the insurance industry
in general, as well as anticipated estimates of a future claims’ severity and frequency, loss trends in claim frequency and
severity experienced by us, our loss history and loss history in the Indian insurance industry and information regarding
claims. These assumptions and estimates are also affected by other factors beyond our control, such as regulatory
development or judicial determination relating to insurance claims and damages, any change in the political environment
or general macroeconomic trends affecting the Indian economy, including inflation. We also utilise policyholder
information in our modelling exercise, which could be inaccurate or incomplete.
We typically make certain assumptions relating to future persistency of policyholders, and on the basis of such
assumptions and past experience, we can generally anticipate the overall level of policy surrenders, withdrawals,
discontinuance and lapses in a given period. In addition, the modelling methodologies we use may not be either accurate
or optimal and are also likely to be more complex and less accurate as we increase the number and complexity of the
insurance products we offer. Since the prices we set for our insurance products and the expected profitability on such
products is based in part upon expected patterns of premiums and assumptions related to persistency, if the actual
persistency of our customers varies significantly from our persistency assumptions, it could have a material adverse
impact on our insurance business and its results of operations. The incidence of unusual events with significant or lasting
impact, such as sharp declines in income of customers resulting from adverse macroeconomic conditions, radical changes
in the applicable regulatory framework or government policies impacting the economy in general or the insurance
industry in particular, loss of customer confidence in the insurance industry due to actual or perceived weakening of the
financial strength of one or more insurance companies, or increased volatility in the capital markets, could also result in
unanticipated high levels of surrenders, withdrawals, discontinuance and lapses of insurance policies, thereby adversely
affecting our persistency rates.
Based on our risk assessment, if we under-price our insurance products, our results of operations could be adversely
affected, while if we overprice our insurance products, our sales of insurance products may be materially and adversely
affected. In addition, various assumptions related to future investment returns are used in pricing our insurance products
and setting of reserves for this business. Actual investment returns that are lower than those projected could result in
significant losses on particular insurance products, thereby causing us to increase the price of our products, thereby
adversely affecting future sales of insurance policies. If we are unable to accurately price our insurance products, it may
adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We maintain reserves to cover amounts we estimate will be required to settle insured losses as well as for any expenses
incurred to settle claims. However, our reserves do not, and will not in the future, represent any precise calculation of
liability, but rather are estimates of the anticipated net future policy benefits and claims payments, and are consequently
inherently uncertain. An estimation of the loss and loss expense reserves is an arduous and complex process that involves
a number of variables and is subject to the subjective assumptions, estimates and judgment of senior management of
27
insurance business. Consequently, in the event that our claim payments vary significantly from the assumptions used in
the pricing of, or maintaining reserves for, our insurance products, it could have a material adverse effect on our insurance
business and our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
19. The actuarial valuation of liabilities for our life insurance policies with outstanding liabilities is not required to
be audited under applicable regulations, and any inaccurate actuarial valuation may have an adverse effect on
our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
The actuarial valuation of liabilities for our life insurance policies with outstanding liabilities are performed by an
appointed actuary and presented in our financial statements. Under Indian regulations, the appointed actuary of a life
insurance company is required to certify such actuarial valuation of liabilities for our policies with outstanding liabilities
and confirm that the assumptions taken into account for purposes of such valuation comply with relevant regulations and
guidelines stipulated by the IRDAI and the Institute of Actuaries of India in concurrence with the IRDAI and in
accordance with the accounting standards, Ind AS 104 “Insurance Contracts” and Ind AS 109 “Financial Instruments”,
which are prescribed by Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules,
2015 as amended from time to time. Additionally, the valuation methodologies, including assumptions, are verified as a
part of peer review process as prescribed under Actuarial Practice Standards-4 issued by the Institute of Actuaries of
India. ETLI’s statutory auditors rely on the certificate provided by the appointed actuary of such companies on such
actuarial valuation and such valuation is not subjected to an independent audit by ETLI’s statutory auditors. The process
of actuarial valuation of liabilities for policies with outstanding liabilities in India may vary from that followed by life
insurance companies and insurance regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions, and therefore may not be comparable. In
the event the underlying assumptions or actuarial modelling used in the determination of the actuarial valuation of our
liabilities are inaccurate, or if the absence of an audit or similar process independently evaluating the actuarial liabilities
results in an error in the calculation of such actuarial valuation, it could have an adverse effect on our results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition. While there have been no materially incorrect actuarial valuations for our policies
with outstanding liabilities in the recent past, we cannot assure you that there will be no instances of incorrect actuarial
valuations in the future.
20. We are exposed to fluctuations in the market values of our investment and other asset portfolio.
Financial market turmoil can adversely affect economic activity globally, including India. Deterioration in the credit and
capital markets may result in volatility of our investment earnings and impairments to our investment and asset portfolio,
including the assets in our Balance Sheet Management Unit, which are maintained as a part of our liquidity management.
Further, the value of our investments depends on several factors beyond our control, including the domestic and
international economic and political scenario, inflationary expectations, unforeseen tail events like the COVID-19
pandemic and the RBI’s monetary policies. Any decline in the value of the investments could negatively impact our
financial condition.
21. We may face asset-liability mismatches, which could affect our liquidity and consequently may adversely affect
our operations and profitability.
Asset-liability mismatch represents a situation when financial terms of an institution’s assets and liabilities do not match
and is a key financial parameter indicative of an NBFC’s performance. A significant portion of our funding requirements
is met through short-term and medium-term funding sources such as bank loans, working capital demand loans, cash
credit, short term loans and commercial paper and non-convertible debentures. However, a significant portion of our
assets (such as loans to our customers) have maturities with longer tenor than our borrowings. We may face potential
liquidity risks due to varying periods over which our assets and liabilities mature. Moreover, raising long-term borrowings
in India has historically been challenging. If we are unable to obtain additional credit facilities or renew our existing
credit facilities in a timely and cost-effective manner to meet our maturing liabilities, or at all, this may lead to gaps and
mismatches between our assets and liabilities, which in turn may adversely affect our liquidity position, and in turn, our
operations and financial performance.
22. A decline in our capital to risk assets and solvency ratio could restrict our future business growth.
Our credit business conducted under our NBFC and HFC licenses is subject to the capital to risk assets ratio requirements
prescribed by the RBI.
Our NBFC subsidiaries are subject to regulations relating to the capital adequacy of NBFCs, which determine the
minimum amount of capital that must be held as a percentage of the risk-weighted assets on the portfolio, or CRAR.
Under the RBI’s Non-Banking Financial (Non-Deposit Accepting or Holding) Companies Prudential Norms (Reserve
28
Bank) Directions, 2007, as amended from time to time, such NBFCs are required to have a regulatory minimum CRAR
of 15.00%, with a minimum Tier 1 capital of 10.00%. Our CRAR for ECL Finance Limited, which is the key NBFC in
our Group – calculated on the basis of the RBI norms applicable to NBFCs – was 30.50%, 25.29% and 21.02% as at
March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 respectively, while its Tier 1 Capital as at March 31, 2022 was 16.38%.
In respect of Edelweiss Housing Finance Limited, our HFC subsidiary, The Housing Finance Companies (National
Housing Bank) Directions, 2010, as amended from time to time (“NHB Directions”) inter alia require HFCs to comply
with a specified capital (consisting of Tier I and Tier II capital) to aggregate risk (weighted) assets and risk adjusted value
of off- balance sheet items ratio, or capital adequacy ratio (“CRAR”). From March 31, 2020, in terms of the NHB
directions, HFCs are required to maintain a CRAR of at least 13%. The minimum required CRAR as on March 31, 2021
and March 31, 2022 is 14% and 15% respectively. The CRAR of Edelweiss Housing Finance Limited as at March 31,
2022, March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 was 28.28%, 26.49% and 28.57%, respectively.
As we have an insurance business, IRDAI requires us to maintain a minimum Solvency Ratio of 150%. ETLI’s Solvency
Ratio – calculated on the basis of IRDAI norms applicable to insurance companies – was 211%, 215% and 232% as at
March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Meanwhile, EGICL’s Solvency Ratio – calculated on the basis
of IRDAI norms applicable to insurance companies – was 167%, 209% and 236% as at March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021
and 2020 respectively. EGICL commenced operations in February 2018.
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 the applicable CRARs with respect to our businesses. There can be no assurance that we will
be able to raise adequate additional Tier I and Tier II capital in the future on terms favourable to us, in a timely manner,
or at all and this may adversely affect the growth of our business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise
adequate additional capital in the future in these subsidiaries on terms favourable to us, in a timely manner, or at all and
this may adversely affect the growth of our business.
The Solvency Ratio of ETLI and EGICL may be affected by various factors, including the amount of capital available to
it, the mix of insurance products sold by it, its business growth as well as its profitability. In the event ETLI and/or EGICL
is unable to comply with the prescribed Solvency Ratio requirements due to inadequacy of share capital and profit to
support business growth, statutory solvency requirements being increased, or the decline of its financial condition or due
to any other factor, it will be required to raise additional capital to meet the applicable Solvency Ratio requirements. In
addition, the IRDAI may increase the control level of solvency or modify the existing regulatory framework in the future.
Any such development, including the implementation of the risk-based solvency framework, may require it to raise
additional capital to meet any modified regulatory requirements. Its ability to raise additional capital from external
sources in the future is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including but not limited to, its future financial condition,
results of operations, cash flows, regulatory approvals, changes in regulations relating to capital raising activities by
insurance companies, its credit rating, general market conditions for capital raising activities, and other economic and
political conditions in India and globally. It may not be able to raise additional capital in a timely manner or on acceptable
terms or at all and this may adversely affect the growth of our business.
23. Regulatory revisions governing the sale of distressed assets by banks and financial institutions could adversely
affect the growth of our asset reconstruction business.
Asset reconstruction business typically involves resolution of distressed assets sold by banks or financial institutions.
The RBI guidelines and directions prescribe inter alia certain compliances in relation to the issuance of security receipts
and presently require an asset reconstruction company to invest a minimum of 15% of the face value of the security
receipts (“SRs”) issued by them under each scheme on an ongoing basis till the redemption of all the security receipts
under each scheme, while the remaining 85.00% of the face value of SRs may be subscribed by the selling banks and
financial institutions. SRs issued by ARCs are valued at a net asset value based on recovery rating range assigned by an
independent credit rating agency.
The RBI guidelines provide that if an investment by a bank in SRs backed by stressed assets sold by it under an asset
securitisation, is more than 10% of SRs backed by its sold assets and issued under that securitisation, then the bank is
required to create provisions on the SRs as per extant asset classification and provisioning norms for the higher of the
provisioning rate required in terms of net asset value declared by the securitizing company(ies) and the provisioning rate
as applicable to the underlying loans, assuming that the loans notionally continued in the books of the bank. As a result
of these guidelines, banks and financial institutions may sell lesser distressed assets in the coming years, which in turn
could reduce the growth in the size of our credit book for distressed assets and thereby adversely impact the growth and
profitability of our asset reconstruction business. The RBI could also increase the provisioning requirements for
Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Limited (“EARC”). Any of these revisions in the regulations governing the
29
sale of distressed assets would have a material adverse effect on our asset reconstruction business and our results of
operations, cash flows and financial condition. Any adverse revisions in the regulations governing the sale of distressed
assets would have a material adverse effect on our asset reconstruction business and our results of operations, cash flows
and financial condition. Further, the RBI prohibits ARCs from acquiring financial assets on a bilateral basis from a bank
or financial institution, which is either a lender to the ARC or a sponsor to the fund, if any, raised by the ARC for its
operations. These and other regulations may also limit the opportunities of growth for our asset reconstruction business.
In addition, our asset reconstruction business is also dependent upon the process of resolution and recovery of stressed
assets. Any delay or regulatory change in the resolution and the recovery mechanism has the ability to adversely affect
recoveries from the stressed assets and the growth of our asset reconstruction business. For example, in light of the
COVID-19 pandemic, the RBI had pursuant to notifications dated April 17, 2020 and May 23, 2020, with respect to
accounts which were within the 30 day review period as on March 1, 2020 (in terms of the notification dated June 7,
2019 issued by RBI on the “Prudential Framework for Resolution of Stressed Assets” (the “June 7 Circular”), directed
that the period from March 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020 be excluded from the calculation of the review period. With
respect to accounts, where the 180 day resolution period (in terms of the June 7 Circular) had as on March 1, 2020
commenced but not expired, the timeline for resolution was to be extended by 180 days from the date on which the 180
day resolution period was originally set to expire.
Our asset reconstruction business is also dependent upon the process of resolution and recovery of stressed assets. Any
delay or regulatory change in the resolution and the recovery mechanism has the ability to adversely affect the returns on
this business.
24. Our indebtedness and the conditions and restrictions imposed by our financing arrangements and any default in
compliance with the material covenants could restrict our ability to conduct our business and operations in the
manner we desire.
As at March 31, 2022 our total borrowings (on a consolidated basis) were ₹ 2,27,109.83 million and as at June 30, 2022
our total borrowings (on a standalone basis) ₹24,611.69 million. We have in the past incurred significant indebtedness
and will continue to incur additional indebtedness in the future. Certain of our financing agreements also include certain
conditions and covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios and obtain consents from lenders prior to
carrying out certain activities and entering into certain transactions. Failure to meet these conditions or to obtain these
consents could have significant adverse consequences on our business and operations. Under certain of our financing
agreements, for example, we are required, but may be unable to obtain lender consents for, among others, the following
matters:
Under certain of our financing agreements, the debenture trustee on behalf of the debenture holder may enforce our
security, charge additional interest or accelerate the redemption of our debentures if we fail to fulfil the covenants as in
the financing agreements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to fulfil these covenants in the future, in a timely
manner, or at all and this may adversely affect the growth of our business.
Additionally, our Company in certain instances, has provided corporate guarantees assuring repayment of certain loan
facilities availed by certain companies in our Group. If any such company or any other guarantor under the loan facilities
commits a default or fails to meet their obligations under the facility agreements, the lender may enforce its rights against
our Company (in addition to any rights it may have against the defaulting company in our Group). If any lender seeks
the accelerated repayment of any such loan or is successful in enforcing any other rights against us, including enforcing
the corporate guarantees, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and
financial condition.
30
25. Our contingent liabilities could adversely affect our financial condition.
The contingent liability amounts disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements represent estimates and
assumptions of our management based on advice received. As at March 31, 2022, our contingent liabilities on a
consolidated basis not provided for, as per Ind AS 37 issued by MCA, were amounting to ₹ 1,409.20 million which
included taxation matters in respect of which appeal is pending amounting to ₹ 1,079.99 million, litigation pending
against group amounting to ₹ 326.67 million and claims not acknowledged as debt amounting to ₹ 2.54 million. If, for
any reason, these consolidated contingent liabilities materialise, it may adversely affect our financial condition. For more
details of contingent liability as at March 31, 2022 as per Ind AS 37, see “Financial Information” on page 169.
26. If the investments made by the funds we advise or manage perform poorly we will suffer a decline in our
investment advisory and management revenue and earnings, we may be obligated to repay certain incentive fees
we have previously received to the third party investors in such funds, and our ability to raise capital for future
funds may be adversely affected.
Our revenue from our investment advisory business is derived from fees earned for our advice to the funds, which is
calculated as a percentage of the capital committed to/drawn-down from these funds, incentive fees, or carried interest,
which is earned when certain financial returns are achieved over the life of a fund, gains or losses on investments of our
own capital in the funds and monitoring, and transaction fees. In the event that such investments perform poorly, our
investment advisory revenues and earnings may suffer a corresponding decline and make it more difficult for us to raise
new funds in the future. To the extent that, over the life of the funds, we have received an amount of carried interest that
exceeds a specified percentage of distributions made to the third party investors in these funds, we may be obligated to
repay the amount of this excess to the third party investors.
27. We face the threat of fraud and cyber-attacks, such as hacking, phishing, trojans and other threats, attempting to
exploit our network to disrupt services to customers and/or theft of sensitive internal company data or customer
information. This may cause damage to our reputation and adversely impact our business and financial results.
Our systemic and operational controls may not be adequate to prevent adverse impact from cyber fraud, errors, hacking
and system failures in future. Further, our mobile and internet-based customer applications and interfaces may be open
to being hacked or compromised by third parties, resulting in thefts and losses to our customers and us. Some of these
cyber threats from third parties include: (a) phishing and trojans – targeting our customers, wherein fraudsters send
unsolicited mails to our customers seeking account sensitive information or to infect customer machines to search and
attempt ex-filtration of account sensitive information; (b) hacking – where attackers seek to hack into our website with
the primary intention of causing reputational damage to us by disrupting services; (c) data theft – where cyber criminals
may attempt to intrude into our network with the intention of stealing our data or information; and (d) advanced
persistency threat – network attack in which an unauthorised person gains access to our network and remains undetected
for a long period of time. The intention of this attack is to steal our data or information rather than to cause damage to
our network or organisation. Attempted cyber threats fluctuate in frequency and are generally increasing in frequency.
If we suffer from any of such cyber threats, it could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition.
A significant system breakdown or system failure caused due to intentional or unintentional acts would have an adverse
impact on our revenue-generating activities and lead to financial loss. It may also impact our customers’ loyalty and
satisfaction.
Although we have established a geographically remote disaster recovery site to support critical applications, it is
possible the disaster recovery site may also fail or it may take considerable time to make the system fully operational
and achieve complete business resumption using the alternate site. Therefore, in such a scenario, where the primary site
is completely unavailable, there may be significant disruption to our operations, which would materially adversely affect
our reputation and financial condition.
There is also the risk of our customers blaming us and terminating their accounts with us for a cyber-incident that might
have occurred on their own system or with that of an unrelated third party. Any cyber-security breach could also subject
us to additional regulatory scrutiny and expose us to civil litigation and related financial liability.
Some of our businesses use cloud environments for various applications, we store and transmit large amounts of sensitive,
confidential, personal and proprietary information over public communications networks. The shared, on-demand nature
of cloud computing introduces the possibility of new security breaches, in addition to the threats faced by traditional
corporate networks. Due to the vast amount of data stored on cloud servers, cloud providers have become an attractive
31
target for cyber-attacks. Though cloud providers deploy the required security controls to protect their cloud environments,
if they fail in protecting our confidential information, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, cash flows, financial condition, reputation and prospects.

29. Failure to maintain confidential information securely or significant security breaches could adversely impact our
business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
In the course of our business operations, we are involved in the acquisition and secure processing, transmission and
storage of sensitive, confidential and proprietary information, including our investment banking, trading, clearing and
settlement, and research businesses. While we believe we have adequate systems in place, we are exposed to significant
risks related to data protection and data security due to, among others, our brokerage platform involving extensive data
transmission and processing, our outsourcing of certain business operations, our reliance on licensed technologies and
outsourced employees for some of the key components of our information technology systems and their maintenance.
We seek to protect our computer systems and network infrastructure from physical break-ins as well as security breaches
and other disruptive problems. Further, computer break-ins and power disruptions could affect the security of information
stored in and transmitted through these computer systems and network infrastructure.
Information security breaches could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss or destruction
of our or our customers’/clients’ confidential, proprietary and other information, identity theft or disruptions of and errors
within our systems. We employ security systems, including sophisticated threat management systems and password
encryption, designed to minimize the risk of security breaches. Although we intend to continue to implement security
technology and establish operational procedures to prevent break-ins, damage and failures, there can be no assurance that
these security measures will be adequate or successful. Failed security measures could have a material adverse effect on
our business, our future financial performance and the trading price of the Equity Shares. We may need to expend
significant resources to protect against security breaches, intrusions, attacks or other threats or to address problems
including reputational harm and litigation, caused by breaches. Although we take measures to safeguard against systems
related and other fraud, there may be certain situations that fraud may occur. Our reputation could be adversely affected
by significant fraud committed by employees, customers or outsiders.
Further, data collection and storage are increasingly subject to various legislation and regulations and our attempts to
comply with applicable legal and statutory requirements may not be successful, and may also lead to increased costs for
compliance, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations
and prospects.

31. We may experience difficulties in expanding our business, organically and inorganically, into new regions and
markets in India and overseas.
We continue to evaluate attractive growth opportunities to expand our business into new regions and markets in India as
well as overseas. These opportunities can take various forms, including acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures and strategic
investments.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify suitable acquisition targets or strategic investment at acceptable
cost and on commercially reasonable terms, obtain the finance, if required, to complete and support such acquisitions or
investments, integrate such businesses or investments or that any business acquired or investment made will be profitable.
The return of capital deployed on such acquisitions will depend on the price of the acquisitions and speed of integration
of acquired business employees and assets. Any future acquisitions may result in integration issues and employee
retention problems; we face numerous risks and uncertainties combining, transferring, separating or integrating the
relevant businesses and systems, including the need to combine or separate accounting and data processing systems and
management controls and to integrate relationships with clients, trading counterparties and business partners. We may
not be able to realise the benefits we might anticipate from any such acquisitions.
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
with other banks and financial institutions that already have a presence in those jurisdictions and markets. As these banks
and financial institutions are more familiar with local regulations, business practices and customs, they may have
developed stronger relationships with customers. Our business expansion may be exposed to various additional
challenges, including obtaining the 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 the
local markets in 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 laws, including taxation in additional geographical
34
areas in India and overseas adapting our marketing strategy and operations to the different regions of India in which
different languages are spoken. Expansion in new markets could also lead to a change in existing risk exposures, and the
data and models we use to manage such exposures may not be as sophisticated or effective as those we use in existing
markets or with existing products. This, in turn, could lead to losses in excess of our expectations. If we are unable to
expand our current operations it may adversely affect our business prospects, results of operations, cash flows and
financial condition.
32. We introduce new products for our customers and there is no assurance that our new products will be profitable
in the future.
We introduce new products and services in our existing lines of businesses. We may incur costs to expand our range of
products and services and cannot guarantee that such new products and services will be successful once offered, whether
due to factors within or outside of our control, such as general economic conditions, a failure to understand customer
demand and market requirements or a failure to understand the regulatory and statutory requirements for such products
or lack of management focus on these new products. If we fail to develop and launch these products and services
successfully, we may lose a part or all of the costs incurred in development and promotion or discontinue these products
and services entirely, which could in turn adversely affect our business and results of operations.
33. Our Group’s ability to borrow from various banks may be restricted on account of guidelines issued by the RBI
imposing restrictions on banks in relation to their exposure to NBFCs which could have an impact on our business
and could affect our growth, margins and business operations.
The RBI vide its Circular DBR.No.BP.BC.43/ 21.01.003/2016-17 dated December 1, 2016 and Circular
DBR.No.BP.BC.31/21.01.003/2018-19 dated April 1, 2019 and circular No. DBR.No.BP.BC.43/21.01.003/2018-19
dated June 3, 2019 as amended from time to time, has amended the regulatory framework governing banks to address
concerns arising from divergent regulatory requirements for banks and NBFCs. These Circulars restricts bank’s
exposures to a single NBFC to 15.00% of their eligible capital base and to a group of connected NBFCs or group of
connected counterparties having NBFCs in the group to 25.00% of their Tier I Capital. In September 2019, the Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) again increased a banks exposure limit to a single NBFC from 15.00% to 20.00% of its Tier-I capital
upto June 30, 2021 and on May 23, 2020, the exposure to a group of connected NBFCs or group of connected
counterparties having NBFCs in the group was increased from 25.00% to 30.00% of their Tier I Capital as a one-time
measure due to COVID-19 and the increased limit is applicable upto June 30, 2021.
Furthermore, RBI has suggested that banks may consider fixing internal limits for their aggregate exposure to all NBFCs
combined. Since these circulars limit a bank’s exposure to NBFCs, the same consequently restricts our ability to borrow
from banks. Further, as per the extant guidelines by RBI, it has now been decided that rated exposures of banks to all
NBFCs (including members of our Group), excluding Core Investment Companies (CICs), would be risk-weighted as
per the ratings assigned by the accredited rating agencies, in a manner similar to that for corporates.
These circulars could affect our business and any similar notifications released by the RBI in the future, which has a
similar impact on our business could affect our growth, margins and business operations.
34. We are a widely regulated business and revisions to laws and regulations or regulatory investigations may have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our subsidiaries are regulated by and report to a wide variety of Indian regulatory bodies, including RBI, NHB, SEBI,
IRDAI and other regulators, each of which promulgate guidelines governing a wide variety of activities, including but
not limited to capital adequacy, investment and credit exposure, reserves and other prudential norms.
Our largest subsidiary by revenue and assets, ECL Finance Limited, is regulated principally by the RBI and is subject to
the RBI’s guidelines on the regulation of the NBFC-ND-Sis. The RBI also regulates the credit flow by banks to NBFC-
ND-Sis and provides guidelines to commercial banks with respect to their investment and credit exposure norms for
lending to the NBFC-ND-Sis. In order to provide enhanced control, existing rules and regulations have been modified,
new rules and regulations have been enacted and reforms have been implemented.
RBI had issued a Discussion Paper on January 22, 2021 proposing a revised scale-based framework for NBFCs with
increasing level of supervision and regulations with the scale. Now post receipt of public comments, RBI has decided to
put in place the said framework which, may require NBFCs to adopt stricter norms for conducting their business which
may affect their profitability and results of operations. The revised framework will be effective from October 1, 2022,
i.e. approximately one year time period has been provided for implementing the new guidelines.
35
Our life and general insurance subsidiaries are regulated by IRDAI. The laws and regulations governing the insurance
industry cover a wide variety of issues, including foreign investment, solvency requirements, investments, money
laundering, privacy, record keeping, marketing and selling practices, and have become increasingly complex over time.
Any change in the policies of the IRDAI, including in relation to investment or provisioning, may result in our inability
to meet such increased or changed requirements as well as require us to increase our coverage to relatively riskier
segments. In addition, the Insurance Act, 1938 and regulations issued by the IRDAI could restrict our insurance
subsidiaries’ operating flexibility as it restricts the types of capital that can be issued by an insurer in India to equity
shares having a single face value, preference share capital, subordinated debt instruments and any other debt instrument
as may be permitted by the IRDAI. Accordingly, our insurance subsidiaries’ ability to issue capital of varied nature is
limited. In addition, the Insurance Act, 1938 provides that appointment, reappointment or termination of a managing or
whole-time director, a manager or a chief executive officer, of an insurance company shall be made only with the prior
approval of the IRDAI. The regulations prescribed by IRDAI further require that the right to appoint a chairman who
exercises a casting vote and the right to appoint a chief executive officer has to necessarily be appointed by the Indian
promoters and/or investors or the board of directors of the insurance company. Further, according to the Insurance
Regulatory and Development Authority (Investment) Regulations, 2016, certain requirements are imposed on
investments by insurers.
We are also subject to periodic inspections by RBI, NHB, SEBI, IRDAI and other regulators. In the past certain
observations were made by the regulators during such inspections regarding our business and operations. These
observations relate to, amongst others, financial aspects such as calculation of CRAR in our NBFC, operational aspects
such as data errors and use of customer data, and governance aspects such as formulation of fit and proper criteria for
appointment of directors on one of the Subsidiaries. While we generally respond to the observations issued by the
regulators in the inspection reports, we cannot assure you that such responses would be found to be acceptable by the
regulators in all cases. For instance, Edelweiss Rural and Corporate Services Limited has, in the past, been subject to
penalties arising out of inspections carried out by the FMC and the MCX. While we attempt to be in compliance with all
regulatory provisions applicable to us, in the event we are not able to comply with the observations made by the regulators,
we could be subject to supervisory actions, which may have a material adverse effect on our reputation, results of
operations, cash flows and financial condition. For details of outstanding proceedings in this respect, see “Outstanding
Litigations” on page 180.
We are also subject to corporate, taxation and other laws in force in India. The abovementioned regulations are subject
to frequent amendments, which may require us to restructure our activities, incur additional costs or could otherwise
adversely affect our business and financial performance. Further, the guidelines promulgated by the regulators may
overlap, which could lead to interpretational ambiguities and subject us to potential liability in case of divergent views.
There can be no assurance that these regulatory bodies will not implement further regulations or policies, including legal
interpretations of existing regulations, relating to or affecting interest rates, taxation, inflation or exchange controls, or
otherwise take action, that may have an adverse impact on our subsidiaries. Further, if we are unable to comply with such
regulatory requirements, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. The RBI, SEBI,
NHB, IRDAI and other regulators in India and jurisdictions where we operate are empowered to impose and have in the
past given administrative warnings and imposed penalties, including for matters such as failure to exercise adequate due
diligence in case of certain public offerings on which we were mandated. We cannot predict the initiation or outcome of
any current or future investigations by other authorities or different investigations by the regulators in India or in other
jurisdictions we operate in. Past penalties imposed by the regulators have generated adverse publicity for our business.
Such adverse publicity, or any future scrutiny, investigation, inspection or audit, which could result in fines, public
reprimands, damage to our reputation, significant time and attention from our management, costs for investigations and
remediation of affected customers, may materially adversely affect our business and financial results.
35. If we are unable to obtain, renew or maintain the statutory and regulatory permits and approvals required to
operate our existing or future businesses it may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our Company and our subsidiaries in India are subject to regulations and supervision by the RBI, NHB, SEBI, IRDAI
and other regulators. In addition to the numerous conditions required for the registration with each of these regulatory
bodies, we are also required to comply with certain other regulatory requirements for our business imposed by the
regulators. There could be circumstances where we or our subsidiaries may be required to renew applicable permits and
approvals and obtain new permits and approvals for our current and any proposed operations, or in the event of a change
in applicable law and regulations. There can be no assurance that the concerned regulators or other relevant authorities
will issue any such permits or approvals in the timeframe anticipated by us, or at all. Our failure to renew, maintain or
36
obtain the required permits or approvals may result in an interruption of our operations and may have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
In addition, our branches are required to be registered under local laws and regulations of the states in which they are
located. These local laws and regulations regulate various employment conditions, including working hours, holidays
and leave and overtime compensation. If we fail to obtain or retain any of these approvals or licenses, or renewals thereof,
in a timely manner, or at all, our branch businesses may be adversely affected. If we fail to comply, or a regulator claims
we have not complied, with any of these conditions, our certificate of registration for such branch may be suspended or
cancelled and we shall not be able to carry on such activities.
36. Dividend income from subsidiaries and associates contribute to a significant portion of the company’s revenues
The Company is the holding company for the Edelweiss group and has limited business operations. As a result, dividend
income from subsidiaries and associates continues to be a significant portion of the revenues of the Company.
Consequently, in the event that if one or more of the subsidiary and associate companies are unable to or do not declare
dividends for whatsoever reasons including but not limited to any macroeconomic situation, regulatory constraints or
other factors generally affecting the industry in which such subsidiaries operate, the Company may have lesser,
significantly lower or no revenues. In such a situation, the profits of the Company may be affected which would affect
the Company’s ability to pay interest.
37. Our borrowers may continue to experience stress due to Covid-19 related economic downturn and may find it
difficult to service their loans despite moratorium and other relief measures extended by the RBI, Government of
India and us and thus affect asset quality and lead to credit losses.
Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant lockdowns and quarantine measures economic activities
in India have been severely impacted during the current financial year. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) though various
regulatory measures and package announced during the current financial year sought lenders to grant a moratorium for
the payment of all instalments falling due between March 1, 2020 and August 31, 2020 to all eligible borrowers that have
opted to avail the same. The Supreme Court of India also has taken note of the moratorium guidelines and may direct
changes in the way interest is to be applied and recovered from the borrowers for the period of the moratorium; matter is
pending currently. The Supreme Court of India in a public interest litigation (Gajendra Sharma vs. Union of India and
Others), vide an interim order dated September 3, 2020 has directed that borrowers who were not declared non-performing
assets till August 31, 2020 shall not be declared as NPA till further orders. This was subsequently vacated pursuant to
order of Supreme Court dated November 27, 2000. Further, Government of India on October 23, 2020 announced waiver
of interest on interest for loans up to ₹ 20 million for specified loan accounts for a period from March 1 to August 31,
2020. Oct 23, 2020. The situation is still evolving and we are unable to quantify the impact, if any, at this stage, these
developments will have on our operations or financial position. Since the economic situation continues to be stressed,
and some of the borrowers continue to be impacted by the downturn in the economic activities, their capacity and ability
to service the loans after the end of the regulatory moratorium period may still remain compromised. This may lead to a
deterioration in asset quality and eventual losses on recoveries and may also lead to lower interest income and may
necessitate incremental provisions and mark-down on our loan portfolio thus affecting the profitability and cash flows.
38. We may divest stakes in our businesses or demerge businesses as we seek to increase our capital position, to
strengthen our balance sheet and find suitable strategic partners to grow our businesses, thereby reducing our
stake in those businesses.
We had announced divestment of our stake in our wealth management business recently subject to regulatory approvals.
Wealth Management business accordingly has ceased to be our subsidiary and became our Associate with effect from
March 26, 2021. We have also recently divested 70% stake in EGIBL to Arthur J. Gallagher & Co.. We continue to
explore various fund-raising opportunities, including the option to raise capital from the strategic investor(s) and we may
consider divesting certain or all of our existing investments and businesses. To this effect, subject to receipt of requisite
regulatory and customary approvals and compliance with applicable law, our Board has approved a restructuring exercise
involving the sale of investments by our Company (either in part or whole) in our Subsidiaries by transferring, hiving
off, demerging, selling etc., whole or part of our wealth management business, asset management business and general
insurance business to any strategic investor(s)/person, at an appropriate time, including by listing the equity shares of the
holding company of the respective businesses or one or more of the identified subsidiaries. Timing of outcomes and
impact thereof of these initiatives cannot be predicted or assessed accurately at this juncture and our Company may have
a lower stake in these businesses in the future. For details in relation to the various agreements entered into by our
Company and our Subsidiaries, please refer to “History and Main Objects-Key terms of Material Agreements and
Material Contracts” on page 144.
37
39. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 may affect our rights to recover loans from borrowers.
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, as amended from time to time (“Bankruptcy Code”) was notified on August
5, 2016. The Bankruptcy Code offers a uniform and comprehensive insolvency legislation encompassing all companies,
partnerships and individuals (other than financial firms). It allows creditors to assess the viability of a debtor as a business
decision and agree upon a plan for its revival or a speedy liquidation. The Bankruptcy Code creates a new institutional
framework, consisting of a regulator, insolvency professionals, information utilities and adjudicatory mechanisms, which
will facilitate a formal and time-bound insolvency resolution and liquidation process.
In case insolvency proceedings are initiated against a debtor to our Company, we may not have complete control over
the recovery of amounts due to us. Under the Bankruptcy Code, upon invocation of an insolvency resolution process, a
committee of creditors is constituted by the interim resolution professional, wherein each financial creditor is given a
voting share proportionate to the debts owed to it. Any decision of the committee of creditors on specified critical matters
must be taken by a vote of not less than 66% of the voting share of all financial creditors unless otherwise specified
otherwise in the Bankruptcy Code. Any resolution plan approved by committee of creditors is binding upon all creditors,
even if they vote against it.
In case a liquidation process is opted for, the Bankruptcy Code provides for a fixed order of priority in which proceeds
from the sale of the debtor’s assets are to be distributed. Before sale proceeds are distributed to a secured creditor, they
are to be distributed for the costs of the insolvency resolution and liquidation processes, debts owed to workmen.
Moreover, other secured creditors may decide to opt out of the process, in which case they are permitted to realise their
security interests in priority subject to subsisting inter – se ranking of charges amongst the secured creditors.
Accordingly, if the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code are invoked against any of the borrowers of our Company, it may
affect our Company’s ability to recover our loans from the borrowers and enforcement of our Company’s rights will be
subject to the Bankruptcy Code.
Further, the GoI vide notification dated March 24, 2020 (“Notification”) has amended section 4 of the Bankruptcy Code
due the lingering impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Pursuant to the said Notification, GoI has increased the minimum
amount of default under the insolvency matters from ₹100,000 to ₹10,000,000. Therefore, the ability of our Company to
initiate insolvency proceedings against the defaulters where the amount of default in an insolvency matter is less the
₹10,000,000 may impact the recovery of outstanding loans and profitability of our Company.
Pursuant to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Second Amendment) Act, 2020, the Central Government has inserted
10A to the Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to which no application for initiation of corporate insolvency resolution process
of a corporate debtor shall be filed under Sections 7, 9 and 10 of the Bankruptcy Code, for any default arising on or after
March 25, 2020 for a period of six months or such further period, not exceeding one year from such date, as may be
notified in this behalf (the “Exempted Period”). Subsequently in exercise of the powers conferred by the said section
10A of the Bankruptcy Code, the Central Government has by way of a notification dated September 24, 2020 has
extended the Exempted Period by an additional period of three months from the September 25, 2020 for the purposes of
the said section. After another extension for three months from September 25, 2020, recently IBC suspension has been
extended for a further period of three months from December 25, 2020 and finally upto March 25, 2021 under Section
10A vide an MCA Notification.
Therefore, the ability of our Company to initiate insolvency proceedings against the defaulters with respect to the defaults
during the above mentioned periods may impact the recovery of outstanding loans and profitability of our group.
40. Changes to laws and regulations across the multiple jurisdictions we operate in, may materially and adversely
affect our business and financial performance.
Our business and financial performance could be materially adversely affected by changes in the laws, rules, regulations
or directions applicable to us and our business, or the interpretations of such existing laws, rules and regulations, or the
promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations, in India or in other jurisdictions we operate in.
The governmental and regulatory bodies in India and other jurisdictions where we operate may notify new regulations
and/or policies, which may require us to obtain approvals and licenses from the government and other regulatory bodies,
or impose onerous requirements and conditions on our operations, in addition to those, which we are undertaking
currently. Any such changes and the related uncertainties with respect to the implementation of new regulations may
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
38
41. Certain Directors hold Equity Shares in our Company and are therefore interested in our Company’s
performance in addition to their remuneration and reimbursement of expenses.
Some of our Directors are interested in our Company, in addition to regular remuneration or benefits and reimbursement
of expenses, to the extent of their shareholding in our Company. Such Directors may be able to exercise significant
control over us, including being able to determine decisions requiring simple or special majority voting of shareholders,
and our other shareholders may not be able to affect the outcome of such voting. Our Directors may take or block actions
with respect to our business which may conflict with the best interests of the Company or that of minority shareholders.
42. Our success depends upon our management team and key personnel and our ability to attract, train and retain
such persons. If we are unable to attract and retain talented professionals or the loss of key management
personnel may have an adverse impact on our business and future financial performance.
Our ability to sustain the rate of growth depends significantly on selecting and retaining key managerial personnel,
developing managerial experience to address emerging challenges and ensuring a high standard of client service. We face
a continuing challenge to recruit, adequately compensate and retain a sufficient number of suitably skilled personnel,
knowledgeable in sectors in which we operate or to which we lend. There is significant competition in India for such
personnel, which has increased in recent years as a significant number of banks, NBFCs, HFCs and insurance companies
have recently commenced operations. We compete with other similar financial institutions to attract and retain this talent
pool. Our success in attracting and retaining such resources depends upon factors such as remuneration paid, range of
our product offerings, pre and post-sale support provided, our reputation, our perceived stability, our financial strength,
and the strength of the relationships we maintain with our intermediaries, agents and other professionals. If we fail to
attract or retain such key personnel, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash
flows, financial condition and prospects.
If we are unable to hire additional qualified personnel or to retain them, our ability to expand our business may be
impaired. We will need to recruit new employees who will have to be trained and integrated within our operations. In
addition, we will have to train existing employees to adhere to internal controls and risk management procedures. Failure
to train and motivate our employees properly may result in an increase in employee attrition rate, a requirement to hire
additional employees, an erosion of the quality of customer service, a diversion in the management’s resources, an
increase in our exposure to high-risk credit and an increase in costs for us. Hiring and retaining qualified and skilled
managers is critical to our future as our business model depends on our credit-appraisal and asset valuation mechanism,
which are personnel-driven. Moreover, competition for experienced employees can be intense, and has intensified in the
recent financial periods. While we have an incentive structure, if we are unable to attract and retain talented professionals
or the loss of key management personnel it may have an adverse impact on our business and future financial performance.
43. A failure or inadequacy in our information technology and telecommunication systems or if we are unable to
adapt to rapid technological changes it may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and
financial condition.
Our ability to operate and remain competitive depends in part on our ability to maintain and upgrade our information
technology systems and infrastructure on a timely and cost-effective basis, including our ability to process a large number
of transactions on a daily basis. Our operations also rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential
and other information in our computer systems and networks. Our financial, accounting or other data processing systems
and management information systems or our corporate website may fail to operate adequately or become disabled as a
result of events that may be beyond our control, including a disruption of electrical or communications services. Further,
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. If any of these systems are disabled or if there are other shortcomings or failures in our internal processes or
systems, it may disrupt our business or impact our operational efficiencies and render us liable to regulatory intervention
or damage to our reputation. The occurrence of any such events may adversely affect our business, results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition.
We are dependent on various external vendors for the implementation of certain elements of our operations, including
implementing information technology infrastructure and hardware, industry standard commercial off-the-shelf products,
networking and back-up support for disaster recovery. We are, therefore, exposed to the risk that external vendors or
service providers may be unable to fulfil their contractual obligations to it (or will be subject to the risk of fraud or
operational errors by their respective employees) and the risk that their (or their vendors’) business continuity and data
39
security systems prove to be inadequate or fail to perform. Failure to perform any of these functions by our external
vendors or service providers could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.
We update our information technology systems and introduce new information technology systems from time to time.
However, delays, system failures or other accidents may occur during such system upgrades or introduction of new
systems. In addition, the upgraded or new information technology systems may not be able to achieve the projected
processing capacity and availability and may also not be able to meet the needs of our business scale and business growth
in the future. Our failure to address these problems promptly, including any delay in the implementation of any upgraded
or new information systems, could result in our inability to perform, or prolonged delays in performing critical business
operational functions, the loss of key business data, which could have a material adverse effect on our business operations.
This could in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation
and prospects.
In addition, the future success of our business will depend in part on our ability to respond to technological advances and
to emerging financing industry 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 effectively or adapt our technology and systems to meet customer
requirements or emerging industry standards. If we are unable, for technical, legal, financial or other reasons, to adapt in
a timely manner to changing market conditions, customer requirements or technological changes, our financial condition
could be adversely affected. Any technical failures associated with our information technology systems or network
infrastructure, including those caused by power failures and other unauthorised tampering, may cause interruptions or
delays in our ability to provide services to our customers on a timely basis or at all, and may also result in added costs to
address such system failures and/or security breaches, or for information retrieval and verification.
44. We are exposed to operational risks, including employee negligence, petty theft, burglary and embezzlement and
fraud by employees, agents, customers or third parties, which could harm our results of operations, cash flows
and financial condition.
We are exposed to many types of operational risks. Operational risks can result from a variety of factors, including failure
to obtain proper internal authorisations, improperly documented transactions, failure of operational and information
security procedures, computer systems, software or equipment, fraud, inadequate training and employee errors. We
attempt to mitigate operational risk by maintaining a comprehensive system of internal controls, establishing systems and
procedures to monitor transactions, maintaining key back-up procedures, undertaking regular contingency planning and
providing employees with continuous training. We employ security systems, including firewalls and password
encryption, designed to minimise the risk of security breaches. Although we intend to continue to implement security
technology and establish operational procedures to prevent fraud, break-ins, damage and failures, there can be no
assurance that these security measures will be adequate. Any failure to mitigate such risks may adversely affect our
business and results of operations.
Any fraud, sales misrepresentation and other misconduct committed by our employees, agents or distribution partners
could result in violations of laws and regulations by us and subject us to regulatory scrutiny. Even if such instances of
misconduct may not result in any legal liabilities on our part, they could cause serious reputational or financial harm to
us. Our agents and intermediaries are also subject to regulatory oversight of regulators within respective industries such
as RBI, NHB, IRDAI etc. Any regulatory action against such distribution partners could reduce our ability to distribute
our products through them, harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
cash flows, financial condition and prospects.
In addition, some of our transactions expose us to the risk of misappropriation or unauthorised transactions by our
employees and fraud by our employees, agents, customers or third parties. Our insurance policies, security systems and
measures undertaken to detect and prevent these risks may not be sufficient to prevent or deter such activities in all cases,
which may adversely affect our operations and profitability. Furthermore, 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. In addition, some of the collateral provided for the loans may not
be adequately insured and this may expose us to a loss of value of the collateral. As a result, we may not be able to recover
the full value of the collateral. Any loss of value of the collateral may have a material adverse effect on our profitability
and business operations.
40
45. Our insurance coverage may not adequately protect us against losses, which could adversely affect our business,
results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
We maintain a number of insurance policies to cover the different risks involved in the operation of our business. We
maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability policy to cover certain liabilities that may be imposed on our directors and
officers. We believe that our insurance coverage is appropriate and adequate for our operations. We have insurance
policies covering, among others, electronic equipment, burglary, standard fire and special peril and machinery
breakdown, and comprehensive general liability insurance.
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. Any
successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceeds our available insurance coverage or changes in
our insurance policies, including any increase in premium or any imposition of larger deductibles or co-insurance
requirements could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
46. Our ability to assess, monitor and manage risks inherent in our business differs from the standards of some of
our counterparts and our risk management measures and internal controls, may not be fully effective in
mitigating our risks in all market environments or against all types of risks, which may adversely affect our
business and financial performance.
We are exposed to a variety of risks, including liquidity risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, operational risk and legal risk.
The effectiveness of our risk management is limited by the quality and timeliness of available data. Some methods of
managing risks are derived from the observation of historical market behaviour. As a result, these methods may not
predict future risk exposures, which could be greater than the indication based on historical measures. Other risk
management methods depend on an evaluation of information regarding markets, customers or other matters. This
information may not be accurate, complete, up-to-date or properly evaluated. The management of operational, legal or
regulatory risk requires, among other things, proper policies and procedures to record and verify a number of transactions
and events. Although we have established these policies and procedures, they may not be fully effective.
We may utilise a variety of financial instruments, such as derivatives, options, interest rate swaps, caps and floors,
futures and forward contracts to seek to hedge against any decline in value of our assets as a result of changes in currency
exchange rates, certain changes in the equity markets and market interest rates and other events. Hedging transactions
may also limit the opportunity for gain if the value of the hedged positions should increase, it may not be possible for
us to hedge against a change or event at a price sufficient to fully protect our assets from the decline in value of the
positions anticipated as a result of such change or event. In addition, it may not be possible to hedge against certain
changes or events at all. While we may enter into such transactions to seek to reduce currency exchange rate and interest
rate risks, or the risks of a decline in the equity markets generally or one or more sectors of the equity markets in
particular, or the risks posed by the occurrence of certain other events, unanticipated changes in currency or interest
rates or increases or smaller than expected decreases in the equity markets or sectors being hedged or the non-occurrence
of other events being hedged may result in a poorer overall performance for the group than if we had not engaged in
any such hedging transaction. In addition, the degree of correlation between price movements of the instruments used
in a hedging strategy and price movements in the position being hedged may vary. Moreover, for a variety of reasons,
we may not seek to establish a perfect correlation between such hedging instruments and the positions being hedged.
Such imperfect correlation may prevent us from achieving the intended hedge or expose the group to additional risk of
loss.
Our risk management techniques may not be fully effective in mitigating our risks in all types of market environments
or against all types of risk, including risks that are unidentified or unanticipated.
Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to respond to new technological advances and emerging market
standards and practices in a cost-effective and timely manner. The development and implementation of such technology
entails significant technical and business risks. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement
new technologies or adapt our transaction processing systems in accordance with the requirements of customers or
emerging market standards.
41
47. Any adverse change in our relationship with our individual agents and other distribution intermediaries, a decline
in performance of our agent or other distribution network or if we are unable to enter into additional distribution
arrangements may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition.
We distribute our products through a large number of individual agents and other financial intermediaries with respect to
our various businesses. We typically enter into exclusive arrangements with our individual agents who contribute a
significant portion of our insurance business. We compete with other financial institutions and insurance companies to
attract and retain individual agents. Our success is dependent on the sales commissions and other rewards and recognition
programs extended by us subject to applicable regulatory restrictions, the range of our product offering, our brand and
business reputation, market and customer perception regarding the stability of our financial condition, our financial
performance, our marketing and related support services that we provide to our agents and other intermediaries, and our
relationship with our individual agents. If we are unable to attract and retain productive sales agents, it could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. It is also difficult, time
consuming and expensive to recruit, train and deploy agents and other retail distributors. If we are unable to develop a
productive team of agents in a cost-effective manner, or at all, it could adversely affect our sales as well as customer
perception of our business and products. We may experience high attrition rates of individual agents and other
intermediaries as a result of increased competition. In addition to individual agents, we also rely on other distribution
channels, including corporate agents, brokers, micro-agents, common service centres and marketing firms. If we are
unable to continue to recruit, train and retain productive sales agents and other distribution intermediaries it may have a
material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
48. We may face damage to our professional reputation and risk legal liability to our clients and affected third parties
if our services are not regarded as satisfactory.
All of our businesses depend to a large extent on our relationships with our clients and our reputation for integrity and
high calibre professional services to attract and retain clients. As a result, if a client is not satisfied with our services, it
may be more damaging to our business than to other businesses. Moreover, our role as advisor to our clients on important
mergers and acquisitions or structured finance transactions involves complex analysis and the exercise of professional
judgment.
Our activities may subject us to the risk of significant legal liabilities to our clients and aggrieved third parties, including
shareholders of our clients who could initiate securities class actions against us. These risks often may be difficult to
assess or quantify and their existence and magnitude often remain unknown for substantial periods of time. Our
engagements typically include broad indemnities from our clients and provisions to limit our exposure to legal claims
relating to our services, but these provisions may not protect us or may not be enforceable in all cases. As a result, we
may incur significant legal expenses in defending against litigation. Substantial legal liability or significant regulatory
action against us could have material adverse financial effects or cause significant harm to our reputation, which could
seriously harm our business prospects.
49. Poor investment performance, pricing pressure and other competitive factors may reduce our revenue or result
in losses in our asset management and/or investment advisory businesses.
Our revenues from our asset management and investment advisory business are primarily derived from management fees,
which are based on committed/drawn down capital and/or assets under management and incentive fees, which are earned
if the return of our investment funds exceeds certain threshold returns. Our ability to maintain or increase assets under
management is subject to a number of factors, including investors’ perception of our past performance, market or
economic conditions, competition from other fund managers and our ability to negotiate terms with major investors.
Investment performance is one of the most important factors in retaining existing clients and competing for new asset
management and private equity business and our historical performance may not be indicative of future results. Poor
investment performance and other competitive factors could reduce our revenues and impair our growth in many ways:
• existing clients may withdraw funds from our asset management and investment advisory services business in favour
of better performing products;
• our incentive fees could decline or be eliminated entirely;
• firms with which we have business relationships may terminate these relationships with us;
• our capital investments in our investment funds or the seed capital we have committed to new asset management
products may diminish in value or may be lost; and
• our key employees in the business may depart, either to join a competitor or otherwise.
42
To the extent our future investment performance is perceived to be poor in either relative or absolute terms, our asset
management revenues will likely be reduced and our ability to raise new funds will likely be impaired.
Even when market conditions are generally favourable, our investment performance may be adversely affected by our
investment style and the particular investments that we make. In addition, over the past several years, the size and number
of investment funds, including exchange-traded funds and private equity funds, has continued to increase. If this trend
continues, it is possible that it will become increasingly difficult for us to raise capital for new investment funds or price
competition may mean that we are unable to maintain our current fee structure. We have historically competed primarily
on the basis of the performance of our investment funds and other asset management products and services, and not on
the level of our fees relative to those of our competitors. However, there is a risk that fees in the asset management
industry will decline, without regard to the historical performance of a manager, including our historical performance.
Fee reductions on our existing or future investment funds and other asset management products and services, without
corresponding decreases in our cost structure, would adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.
50. Our reliance on any misleading or misrepresented information provided by potential customers or counterparties
or an inaccurate credit appraisal by our employees may affect our credit judgments, as well as the value of and
title to the collateral, which may adversely affect our reputation, business and results of operations.
In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions with customers and counterparties, we may rely on
information furnished to us by or on behalf of customers and counterparties, including financial statements and other
financial information. We may also rely on certain representations in relation to the accuracy and completeness of that
information as well as independent valuation reports and title reports with respect to the collateral. In addition, we may
rely on reports of the independent auditors in relation to the financial statements of the customers. For example, in
deciding whether to extend credit, we may assume that a customer’s audited financial statements conform to GAAP and
the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the customer are presented fairly in all material respects.
Our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by relying on financial statements that do not
comply with GAAP or other information that may be materially misleading. Moreover, we have implemented a KYC
checklist and other measures to prevent money laundering. There can be no assurance that information furnished to us
by potential customers and any analysis of such information or the independent checks and searches will return accurate
results, and our reliance on such information may affect our judgment of the potential customers’ credit worthiness, as
well as the value of and title to the collateral, which may result in us having to bear the risk of loss associated with such
misrepresentations. In the event of the ineffectiveness of these systems, our reputation, business and results of operations
may be adversely affected.
We may also be affected by the failure of our employees to adhere to the internal procedures and an inaccurate appraisal
of the 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 we are unable to mitigate the risks that arise out of
such lapses, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
51. 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 KYC, anti-money-laundering and anti-terrorism laws and other regulations in
India and other jurisdictions that we operate in. 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 customary in India to prevent the occurrence of these risks. Although we believe
that we have adequate internal policies, processes and controls in place to prevent and detect any AML activity and ensure
KYC compliance, there can be no assurance that we 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. In certain activities and in pursuit of our business, we run the risk of inadvertently offering our financial
products and services ignoring customer suitability and appropriateness despite having a KYC and Anti-Money
Laundering measures and associated processes in place. Such incidents may adversely affect our business and reputation.
52. Significant differences exist between IFRS and Ind AS, used to prepare our Company’s financial statements and
other accounting principles, such as IFRS, with which investors may be more familiar.
The Reformatted Standalone Financial Information and Reformatted Consolidated Financial Information as at the end of
and for the financial years ended March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 included in this Tranche II
Prospectus are derived from the relevant audited financial statements prepared in accordance Ind AS. The financial
43
statements of our Company prior to Fiscal 2019 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Indian GAAP.
Hence, the reformatted Standalone Financial Information, Reformatted Consolidated Financial Information of our
Company may not be comparable with the financials of our Company for Fiscal 2018 and before.
The degree to which the financial statements included in this Tranche II Prospectus will provide meaningful information
is entirely dependent on the investor's level of familiarity with Indian accounting practices. Any reliance by persons not
familiar with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Tranche II Prospectus should
accordingly be limited. Prospective investors should review the accounting policies and consult their own professional
advisers for an understanding of the differences between these accounting principles and those with which they may be
more familiar.
53. Our business is dependent on the Group’s goodwill and ‘Edelweiss’ brand name. Any change in control of the
Group or any other factor affecting the business and reputation of the Group may have a concurrent adverse
effect on our Group’s reputation, business and results of operations.
Our business is dependent on our Group’s goodwill and the ‘Edelweiss’ brand name. Reputational risk, or the risk to our
business, earnings and capital from negative publicity, is inherent in our business. The reputation of the financial services
industry in general has been closely monitored as a result of the global financial crisis and other matters affecting the
financial services industry. Negative public opinion about the financial services industry generally or about us specifically
could materially adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers and may expose us to litigation and regulatory
action. Negative publicity can result from our or our third-party service providers’ actual or alleged conduct in any number
of activities, including lending practices, mortgage servicing and foreclosure practices, technological practices,
investment advisory practices, corporate governance, regulatory compliance, mergers and acquisitions, and related
disclosure, sharing or inadequate protection of customer information, and actions taken by government regulators and
community organisations in response to that conduct. Damage to our reputation and loss of brand equity could reduce
demand for our products. Any impairment of our reputation or erosion of the brand or failure to optimize the brand in the
marketing of our products could have a material adverse effect on our capacity to retain our current customers and attract
new customers and therefore on our sales and profitability, as well as require additional resources to rebuild our reputation
and restore the value of the brand. Although we take steps to minimise reputational risk in dealing with customers and
other constituencies, we, as a large financial services organisation with a high industry profile, are inherently exposed to
this risk. Any adverse developments regarding our brand could materially and adversely affect our business, results of
operations, cash flows and financial condition.
54. We have entered into related party transactions and may continue to enter into related party transactions, which
may involve conflicts of interest.
We have entered into related party transactions. For more details, see “Related Party Transactions” on page 168. While
we believe that all related party transactions entered into in the past are conducted on an arm’s length basis and in the
ordinary course of business, there can be no assurance that we could not have achieved more favourable terms if such
transactions had not been entered into with related parties. Further, our Company may continue to enter into related party
transactions in the future, which may involve conflicts of interest.
55. Certain facts and statistics are derived from publications not independently verified by us, the Lead Manager or
its respective advisors.
We have not independently verified data obtained from industry publications and other external sources referred to herein
and therefore, while we believe them to be accurate, complete and reliable, we cannot assure you that they are accurate,
complete or reliable. Such data may also be produced on different bases from those used in the industry publications we
have referenced. Therefore, discussions of matters relating to India, its economy, the financial services industry and the
life and general insurance industry are subject to the caveat that the statistical and other data upon which such discussions
are based may be inaccurate, incomplete or unreliable. Industry publications generally state that the information contained
in those publications has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable but their accuracy, adequacy or completeness
and underlying assumptions are not guaranteed and their reliability cannot be assured. The data and other information
sourced from the CARE Research Report is subject to CARE Research’s disclaimer set forth in “Industry Overview” on
page 86, Industry and government sources and publications are also prepared on the basis of information as at specific
dates and may no longer be current or reflect current trends. Industry and government sources and publications may also
base their information on estimates, forecasts and assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. Accordingly, no investment
decision should be made on the basis of such information. For more details, see “Industry Overview” on page 86.
44
56. We do not own the premises where our branch offices are located and in the event our rights over the properties
are not renewed or are revoked or are renewed on terms less favourable to us, our business activities may be
disrupted.
At present, we do not own the premises of almost all of our branch offices. All such non-owned properties are leased or
licensed to us. If the owners of these properties do not renew the agreements under which we occupy the premises or
only agree to renew such agreements on terms and conditions that are unacceptable to us, of if the owners of such premises
withdraw their consent to our occupancy, our operations may be disrupted. We may be unable to locate suitable alternative
facilities on favourable terms, or at all, and this may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition.
57. We rely on models for risk analysis to guide our managerial decisions and any misspecification, deficiencies or
inaccuracies in the models and data may impact our decision-making and operations.
As part of our ordinary decision making process, we rely on various models for risk and data analysis. These models include
credit scoring models used for approving retail loans. These models are based on historical data and supplemented with
managerial input and comments. There are no assurances that these models and the data they analyse are accurate or adequate
to guide our strategic and operational decisions and protect us from risks. Any misspecification, deficiencies or inaccuracies
in the models or the data might have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition.
58. We could be subject to claims by our customers and/or regulators for alleged mis-selling of our products.
We carry on insurance business through ETLI and EGICL. These products are sold through their intermediaries, including
individual agents or personal financial advisors, corporate agents, brokers and bancassurance partners, as well as certain
of our employees. Intermediaries aid the customer in choosing the correct product by advising on appropriate benefits
and affordable premiums, disclosing product features and advising on whether to continue with a particular product or
switch products.
We also sell investment products through our investment advisory unit and wealth management units. Our investment
advisory unit introduces and advises our customers as to the different types of products available for their investments
and aids the customers in choosing appropriate products, which suits their risk profile. Our liability management
operations and certain Subsidiaries also deal with foreign currency and derivative products and offer them to customers.
Under certain circumstances, customers may claim that our sales process is inadequate or that there was misconduct on
the part of our employees or intermediaries at the time of signing of the policy contract or during the course of customer
service. Such misconduct could include activities such as making non-compliant or fraudulent promises of high returns on
investments and recommending inappropriate products and fund management strategies. We may be subject to claims by
customers for such alleged instances of mis-selling. In some instances, we may also have paid a commission to the
intermediary prior to a claim of mis-selling by our customers, and if we have to refund the customer but are unable to
recover such commission, we might face significant losses. In addition, regulators may attribute the mis-selling activities
of intermediaries to us and impose penalties on us for non-compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
It is also possible that a third party aggregates a number of individual complaints against us with the intention of obtaining
increased negotiating power. This could result in significant financial losses to us as well as loss of our reputation. Further,
persons may also misrepresent themselves as agents of us to defraud customers and such aggrieved customers, have filed
and, in the future, may file complaints against us.
Cases of mis-selling, or recurring cases of mis-selling, which are sub-judice or initiated against us, could result in
substantial claims and fines. We establish reserves for legal claims when payments associated with claims become
probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. We may still incur legal costs for a matter even if we have not
established a reserve. In addition, the actual cost of resolving a suit, proceeding or a legal claim may be substantially
higher than any amounts reserved for that matter. The final outcome of any pending or future legal proceeding, depending
on the remedy sought and granted, could materially adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition. For more details see “Outstanding Litigations” on page 180.
45
59. We rely on third-party service providers who may not perform their obligations satisfactorily or in compliance
with law.
We enter into outsourcing arrangements with third party vendors for a number of our businesses and for services required
by us. These vendors provide services, which include, among others, software services, client sourcing, and call centre
services. Though adequate due diligence is conducted before finalising such outsourcing arrangements, we cannot
guarantee that there will be no disruptions in the provision of such services or that these third parties will comply with
regulatory requirements or adhere to their contractual obligations in a timely manner, or at all. If there is a disruption in
the third-party services, despite having continuity plans in place as required by the regulators or if the third-party service
providers discontinue their service agreement with us, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition will be adversely affected. In case of any dispute, we cannot assure you that the terms of such agreements will
not be breached, which may result in litigation costs. Such additional cost, in addition to the cost of entering into
agreements with third parties in the same industry, may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition. We may also suffer from reputational and legal risks if our third-party service
providers fail to operate in compliance with regulations or corporate and societal standards, act unethically or unlawfully,
which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
60. Our results of operations could be adversely affected by any disputes with employees.
As of June 30, 2022, we employed 5,833 full-time employees on a consolidated basis excluding EWM employees. 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, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
61. Our liability or liquidity management operations income, debt investment portfolio and derivatives portfolio are
exposed to risks relating to mark-to-market valuation, illiquidity, credit risk and income volatility.
We have debt investment portfolio (consists of government securities, treasury bills and other Debt Securities) as a part
of our liability or liquidity management operations. We run value-at-risk tests to manage risks in our investments, but
in the event interest rates rise, our portfolio will be exposed to the adverse impact of the mark-to-market valuation of
such bonds. Any rise in interest rates leading to a fall in the market value of such debentures or bonds may materially
and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. We face income volatility
due to the illiquid market for the disposal of some of debt investment portfolio.
Our income from liability or liquidity management operations is subject to volatility due to, among other things, changes
in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates as well as fluctuations in equities and derivatives markets. For
example, an increase in interest rates may have a negative impact on the value of certain investments such as
Government securities and corporate bonds and may require us to mark down the value of these investments on our
balance sheet and recognise a loss on our income statement. Similarly, our derivative portfolio is subject to fluctuations
in interest rates and foreign exchange rates, and any movement in those rates may require us to mark down the value of
our derivatives portfolio. While we invest in corporate debt instruments as part of our normal business, we are exposed
to risk of the issuer defaulting on its obligations. Changes in corporate bond spreads also affect valuations and expose
us to risk of valuation losses. Although we have risk and operational controls and procedures in place for our liability
or liquidity management operations, such as sensitivity limits, value at risk (“VaR”) limits, position limits, stop loss
limits and exposure limits, that are designed to mitigate the extent of such losses, there can be no assurance that we will
not lose money in the course of trading on our fixed income book in held for trading and available-for-sale portfolio.
Any such losses could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition.
62. Regulatory restrictions may prevent certain subsidiaries from making payments to our Company, including
dividend payments.
Regulatory, tax restrictions and other legal restrictions may limit our subsidiaries’ ability to transfer funds freely to our
Company. In particular, many of our subsidiaries, including our subsidiaries that are NBFCs or HFCs, are subject to laws
and regulations that may limit the flow of funds from them to our Company, or that restrict or prohibit such transfers or
dividends altogether in certain circumstances. These laws and regulations may hinder our Company’s ability to access
funds that our Company may need to make payments on its obligations or to pay dividends.
46
63. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon future earnings, financial condition, cash flows,
working capital requirements and capital expenditures.
The amount of future dividend payments by our Company, if any, will depend upon a number of factors, including but
not limited to our future earnings, financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements, contractual obligations,
applicable Indian legal restrictions and capital expenditures. In addition, our ability to pay dividends may be impacted by
a number of factors, including restrictive covenants under the loan or financing agreements our Company may enter into
to finance our fund requirements for our business activities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to pay
dividends in the future. 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 our Equity Shares. Additionally, in the future, we may be restricted
by the terms of our financing agreements in making dividend payments unless otherwise agreed with our lenders.
64. A rise in the general income level of our customers may adversely affect the demand for our loans.
The size of our loans portfolios is dependent upon the demand for loans in India, which is inversely related to the general
income level of our customers. A rise in the general income level in India could make our loans unattractive to some
customers due to their having increased disposable income, making them less reliant on loans. Such a shift in income
levels could lower our interest income, which could in turn adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows
and results of operations.
65. Our financial performance may be materially and adversely affected if we are unable to respond promptly and
effectively to new technology innovations.
Currently, technology innovations in mobilisation and digitisation of financial services require companies like ours to
continuously develop new and simplified models for offering financial products and services. Disruptive technology
and new models of financial services that utilise such technology, such as micro-financing and peer-to-peer lending,
might also materially and adversely affect our financial performance.
Such technologies could increase competitive pressures on us, to adapt to new operating models and upgrade back-end
infrastructure on an ongoing basis. There is no assurance that we will be able to continue to respond promptly and
effectively to new technology developments, be in a position to dedicate resources to upgrade our systems and to
compete with new players entering the market. As such, the new technology innovations may result in a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
66. The rise of digital platforms and payment solutions may adversely impact our fees, and there may be
disintermediation in the loan or other financial services market by fintech companies.
Disruption from digital platforms could have an adverse effect on the fees that we have traditionally received on many
of our financial services. We also face threat to our loan market and other financial services market from newer business
models, such as Buy Now & Pay Later (“BNPL”), that leverage technology to bring together savers and borrowers or
cater to prospective borrowers in newer ways. We may not be competitive in facing up to the challenges from such
newer entrants. This may, accordingly, have an adverse impact on our business and growth strategy.
We may be subject to claims by third parties, both inside and outside India, if we breach their intellectual property rights
by using slogans, names, designs, software or other such rights that are of a similar nature to the intellectual property
these third parties may have registered or are using. We might also be in breach of such third-party intellectual property
rights due to accidental or purposeful actions by our employees where we may also be subjected to claims by such third
parties.
Any legal proceedings that result in a finding that we have breached third parties’ intellectual property rights, or any
settlements concerning such claims, may require us to provide financial compensation to such third parties or stop using
the relevant intellectual property (including by way of temporary or permanent injunction) or make changes to our
marketing strategies or to the brand names of our products, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our
business, prospects, reputation, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

68. This Tranche II Prospectus includes certain unaudited financial information, which has been subjected to limited
review, in relation to our Company. Reliance on such information should, accordingly, be limited.
This Tranche II Prospectus includes unaudited financial information in relation to our Company for the three months
ended June 30, 2022 in respect of which the Auditors have issued their limited review report dated August 4, 2022. The
Q1 2023 Unaudited Financial Results prepared by our Company in accordance with Regulation 33 and 52(2) of the SEBI
LODR Regulations have been subject only to a limited review and as described in Standard on Review Engagements
(SRE) 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information” Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by
the ICAI, and not to an audit, any reliance by prospective investors on such Q1 2023 Unaudited Financial Results for the
three months ended June 30, 2022 should, accordingly, be limited. Additionally, in accordance with applicable law, our
Company is required to publish its half yearly financial information with the stock exchanges.
Any financial results published in the future may not be consistent with past performance. Accordingly, prospective
investors should rely on their independent examination of our financial position and results of operations, and should not
place undue reliance on, or base their investment decision solely on the financial information included in this Tranche II
Prospectus.
1. We face risks related to public health epidemics and pandemics in India and abroad.
Our business could be materially and adversely affected by the outbreak of public health epidemics, or the fear of such
an outbreak, in India or elsewhere. A number of countries in Asia, including India, as well as countries in other parts of
the world, are susceptible to contagious diseases and have confirmed cases of diseases including the highly pathogenic
ones such as H7N9, H5N1 and H1N1 strains of influenza in birds and swines and more recently, the COVID-19 virus,
and monkey pox virus. Certain countries in Southeast Asia have reported cases of bird-to-human transmission of avian
and swine influenza, resulting in numerous human deaths. The COVID-19 outbreak across the world has affected the
world economy including India. However, in recent times the industry is showing signs of revival signaling a slow but
steady return of growth of economy.
The Indian economy was impacted by this pandemic and the resultant lockdown, due to the contraction in industrial and
services output across small and large businesses. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, on Company's results,
including credit quality and provisions, gain/loss on fair value changes, investment, remains uncertain and dependent on
actual visibility of growth over coming quarters and steps taken by the government, RBI and other regulators to mitigate
the economic impact and foster speedier growth.
The rapid shift to a remote working environment creates inherent productivity, connectivity, and oversight challenges.
For example, governmental lockdowns, restrictions or new regulations could significantly impact the ability of our
employees to work productively. Governmental restrictions are being continuously revised and it is not clear when a
return to worksite locations or travel will be completely permitted or what restrictions will be in place in those
environments. The extent and/or duration of workforce restrictions and limitations could impact our ability to successfully
introduce and grow our new products and services, and cause delays in transactions, proceeds of which were to be applied
for repayment of loans. Further, such restrictions have impacted and are likely to continue to impact our ability to formally
execute and register (where required) certain agreements in connection with our operations, including the renewal of
lease agreements with respect to our branch offices. Additionally, the process of obtaining and/or renewing necessary
registrations, approvals, licenses and permits from statutory/ regulatory authorities is also likely to be impacted by such
restrictions. Further, such restrictions are likely to impact the ability of our customers to avail our products and services.
In addition, the changed environment under which we are operating is likely to have an impact on our internal controls
over financial reporting as well as our ability to meet a number of our compliance and reporting requirements in a timely
or quality manner and may give rise to risks that we may not have anticipated, including an increase in cyber-security
risks with a large proportion of our employees working from home.
As of the date of this Tranche II Prospectus, there is significant uncertainty relating to the severity of the near and long
term adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, global financial markets and the Indian
economy, and we are unable to accurately predict the near-term or long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our
business. Our Company has assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its liquidity and ability to repay its
obligations as and when they are due. Management has considered various financial support from banks and other
fundraising opportunities in determining the Company’s liquidity position over the next 12 months. Based on the
foregoing and necessary stress tests considering various scenarios, management believes that the Company will be able
to pay its obligations as and when these become due in the foreseeable future. In assessing the recoverability of loans,
48
receivables, deferred tax assets, intangible assets (including goodwill), investments and in case of life insurance business,
estimate of claims, the Company has considered internal and external sources of information, including credit reports,
economic forecasts and industry reports. Since the situation continue to evolve, its effect on the operations of the
Company may be different from that estimated. To the extent that the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business
and operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this section.
2. Our results of operations have been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by Indian and international
financial market and economic conditions.
Our business is highly dependent on Indian and international markets and economic conditions. Such conditions in India
include fluctuations in interest rates; changes in consumer spending; the level of consumer confidence; housing prices;
corporate or other scandals that reduce confidence in the financial markets, among others. International markets and
economic conditions include the liquidity of global financial markets, the level and volatility of debt and equity prices
and interest rates, investor sentiment, inflation, the availability and cost of capital and credit, and the degree to which
international economies are expanding or experiencing recessionary pressures. The independent and/or collective
fluctuation of these conditions can directly and indirectly affect demand for our lending finance and other financial
products or increase the cost to provide such products. In addition, adverse economic conditions, such as declines in
housing values, could lead to an increase in mortgage and other home loan delinquencies and higher write offs, which
can adversely affect our earnings.
Global financial markets were and continue to be extremely volatile and were materially and adversely affected by a
significant lack of liquidity, decreased confidence in the financial sector, disruptions in the credit markets, reduced
business activity, rising unemployment, declining home prices and erosion of consumer confidence. These factors have
contributed to and may continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
3. Financial difficulties and other problems in certain financial institutions in India could cause our business to
suffer and adversely affect our results of operations.
We are exposed to the risks of the Indian financial system, which in turn may be affected by financial difficulties and
other problems faced by certain Indian financial institutions. Certain Indian financial institutions have experienced
difficulties during recent years. Some co-operative banks (which tend to operate in rural sector) have also faced serious
financial and liquidity crises. There has been a trend towards consolidation with weaker banks and NBFCs being merged
with stronger entities. The problems faced by individual Indian financial institutions and any instability in or difficulties
faced by the Indian financial system generally could create adverse market perception about Indian financial institutions,
banks and NBFCs. This in turn could adversely affect our business, our future financial performance, our shareholders’
funds and the market price of our NCDs.
4. Terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other acts of violence or war involving India and other countries could adversely
affect the financial markets and our business.
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may negatively affect our business and may also adversely affect the
worldwide financial markets. These acts may also result in a loss of business confidence. In addition, any deterioration
in relations between India and its neighboring countries might result in investor concern about stability in the region,
which could adversely affect our business.
India has also witnessed civil disturbances in recent years, and it is possible that future civil unrest as well as other adverse
social, economic and political events in India could have a negative impact on us. Such incidents could also create a
greater perception that investment in Indian companies involves a higher degree of risk and could have an adverse impact
on our business and the market price of our NCDs.
5. Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy, particularly the agriculture sector, and
cause our business to suffer.
India has experienced natural calamities such as earthquakes, a tsunami, floods and drought in the past few years. The
extent and severity of these natural disasters determines their impact on the Indian economy. The erratic progress of the
monsoon over the course of past few years affected sowing operations for certain crops. Further, prolonged spells of
below normal rainfall or other natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy thereby, adversely
affecting our business.
49
6. Any downgrading of India’s credit rating or outlook by an international rating agency could have a negative
impact on our business.
Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings or outlook for domestic and international debt by international rating
agencies may adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing, the interest rates and other commercial terms at
which such additional financing is available. This could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial
performance, our ability to raise financing for onward lending and the price of our NCDs.
7. Instability of economic policies and the political situation in India could adversely affect the fortunes of the
industry.
There is no assurance that the liberalization policies of the Government will continue in the future. Protests against
privatization could slow down the pace of liberalization and deregulation. The Government of India plays an important
role by regulating the policies and regulations that govern the private sector. The current economic policies of the
Government may change at a later date. The pace of economic liberalization could change and specific laws and policies
affecting the industry and other policies affecting investments in our Company’s business could change as well. A
significant change in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies could disrupt business and economic
conditions in India and thereby affect our Company’s business.
Unstable domestic as well as international political environment could impact the economic performance in the short
term as well as the long term. The Government of India has pursued the economic liberalization policies including
relaxing restrictions on the private sector over the past several years. The present Government has also announced polices
and taken initiatives that support continued economic liberalization.
The Government has traditionally exercised and continues to exercise a significant influence over many aspects of the
Indian economy. Our Company’s business may be affected not only by changes in interest rates, changes in Government
policy, taxation, social and civil unrest but also by other political, economic or other developments in or affecting India.
8. Companies operating in India are subject to a variety of central and state government taxes and surcharges.
Tax and other levies including stamp duty imposed by the central and state governments in India that affect our tax
liability include central and state taxes and other levies, income tax, goods and 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 (as applicable to us), which includes a surcharge on the tax and a health and education cess on the tax and the
surcharge.
The central or state government may in the future increase the corporate income tax or surcharge/cess 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 and profitability.
The Indian market and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries.
Although economic conditions are different in each country, investors’ reactions to developments in one country can
have adverse effects on the economy as a whole, in other countries, including India. A loss of investor confidence in the
financial systems of other emerging markets may cause volatility in Indian financial markets and indirectly, in the Indian
economy in general. Any worldwide financial instability could also have a negative impact on the Indian economy,
including the movement of exchange rates and interest rates in India.
In the event that the current difficult conditions in the global credit markets continue or if the recovery is slower than
expected or if there any significant financial disruption, this could have an adverse effect on our cost of funding, loan
portfolio, business, prospects, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
10. Trading of the NCDs may be limited by temporary exchange closures, broker defaults, settlement delays, strikes
by brokerage firm employees and disputes.
The Indian stock exchanges have experienced temporary exchange closures, broker defaults, settlement delays and strikes
by brokerage firm employees. In addition, the governing bodies of the Indian stock exchanges have from time to time
50
imposed restrictions on trading in certain securities, limitations on price movements and margin requirements.
Furthermore, from time to time, disputes have occurred between listed companies and stock exchanges and other
regulatory bodies, which in some cases may have had a negative effect on market sentiment
1. The NCD Holders may not be able to recover, on a timely basis or at all, the full value of the outstanding amounts
and/or the interest accrued thereon in connection with the NCDs. Failure or delay to recover the expected value
from a sale or disposition of the assets charged as security in connection with the NCDs could expose the holders
to a potential loss.
Our ability to pay interest accrued on the NCDs and/or the principal amount outstanding from time to time in connection
therewith would be subject to various factors, inter alia, including our financial condition, profitability and the general
economic conditions in India and in the global financial markets. We cannot assure you that we would be able to repay
the principal amount outstanding from time to time on the NCDs and/or the interest accrued thereon in a timely manner
or at all. Although our Company will create appropriate security in favour of the Debenture Trustee for the NCD Holders
on the assets adequate to ensure 100% security cover for the NCDs and the interest thereon, the realisable value of the
assets charged as security, when liquidated, may be lower than the outstanding principal and/or interest accrued thereon
in connection with the NCDs and the possibility of recovery of 100% of the amount shall depend on the market scenario
prevalent at the time of enforcement of the security. A failure or delay recovering the expected value from a sale or
disposition of the assets charged as security in connection with the NCDs could expose you to a potential loss.
4. There may be no active market for the NCDs on the platform of the Stock Exchange. As a result, the liquidity and
market prices of the NCDs may fail to develop and may accordingly be adversely affected.
There can be no assurance that an active market for the NCDs will develop. If an active market for the NCDs fails to
develop or be sustained, the liquidity and market prices of the NCDs may be adversely affected. The market price of the
NCDs may depend on various factors, inter alia, including (i) the interest rate on similar securities available in the market
and the general interest rate scenario in the country, (ii) the market price of our Equity Shares, (iii) the market for listed
debt securities, (iv) general economic conditions, and (v) our financial performance, growth prospects and results of
operations etc. The aforementioned factors may adversely affect the liquidity and market price of the NCDs, which may
trade at a discount to the price at which you purchase the NCDs and/or be relatively illiquid.
51
6. In the event of bankruptcy, liquidation or winding-up, there may not be sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts
due on the NCDs.
The NCDs will be subordinated to certain liabilities preferred by law such as the claims of the Government on account
of taxes, and certain liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of our business. In particular, in the event of bankruptcy,
liquidation or winding-up, our Company’s assets will be available to pay obligations on the NCDs only after all of those
liabilities that rank senior to these NCDs have been paid in accordance with the Companies Act, 2013. In the event of
bankruptcy, liquidation or winding-up, there may not be sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts due on the NCDs.
7. The fund requirement and deployment mentioned in the Objects of the Issue have not been appraised by any bank
or financial institution.
We intend to use the proceeds of the Issue, after meeting the expenditures of and related to the Issue, for the purpose of
repayment /prepayment of interest and principal of existing borrowings of our Company and general corporate purposes.
For further details, see the section “Issue Related Information” on page 229. The fund requirement and deployment is
based on internal management estimates and has not been appraised by any bank or financial institution. The management
will have significant flexibility in applying the proceeds received by us from the Issue. The utilization details of the
proceeds of the Tranche II Issue shall be adequately disclosed as per applicable law. Further, as per the provisions of the
SEBI NCS Regulations, we are not required to appoint a monitoring agency and therefore no monitoring agency has been
appointed for the Issue.
8. There is no assurance that the NCDs issued pursuant to the Tranche II Issue will be listed on Stock Exchange in
a timely manner, or at all.
In accordance with Indian law and practice, permissions for listing and trading of the NCDs issued pursuant to the Tranche
II Issue will not be granted until after the NCDs have been issued and allotted. Approval for listing and trading will
require all relevant documents to be submitted and carrying out of necessary procedures with the Stock Exchange. There
could be a failure or delay in listing the NCDs on the Stock Exchange for reasons unforeseen. If permission to deal in
and for an official quotation of the NCDs is not granted by the Stock Exchange, our Company will forthwith repay, with
interest, all monies received from the Applicants in accordance with prevailing law in this context, and pursuant to this
Tranche II Prospectus. There is no assurance that the NCDs issued pursuant to the Tranche II Issue will be listed on Stock
Exchange in a timely manner, or at all.

Annexure
STATEMENT OF POSSIBLE TAX BENEFITS AVAILABLE TO THE DEBENTURE HOLDER(S)
This Annexure is based on the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (‘IT Act’) in force as on the current date, after
considering the amendments made by the Finance Act, 2022 (‘FA 2022’).
This Annexure intends to provide general information on the applicable provisions of the IT Act. However, in view of
the nature of the implications, the investors are best advised to consult their respective tax advisors/consultants for
appropriate counsel with respect to the specific tax and other implications arising out of their participation in the Portfolio
as indicated herein.
The returns received by the investors from the Non-Convertible Debentures (‘NCD’) in the form of ‘interest’
and gains on transfer of the NCD, may be characterized under the following broad heads of income for the
purposes of taxation under the IT Act:
For determining the appropriate head of income (as mentioned above) vis-à-vis the income or loss earned on/
from the NCD, it will be pertinent to analyse whether the NCD are held as ‘Investments’ i.e. capital asset or as
‘Stock-in-trade’.
If the NCD are held as ‘Stock-in-trade’, interest income as well as gain or loss on its transfer will be assessed to
tax under the head PGBP, whereas, if the NCD are held as ‘Investments’, then the interest income will be
assessed to tax under the head IFOS and any gain/ loss on its transfer will be assessed to tax under the head CG
(explained in ensuing paragraphs), based on facts of each case.
However, as per section 2(14) of the IT Act, ‘capital asset’ includes, inter alia, securities held by a Foreign
Institutional Investor (‘FII’) [now known as Foreign Portfolio Investor (‘FPI’)] which has invested in such
securities in accordance with the regulations made under Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992.
Accordingly, such securities, held by an FII, will be characterised as ‘capital asset’ and classification as ‘Stock-
in-trade’ shall not apply.
The investors may obtain specific advice from their tax advisors regarding the above classification and tax
treatment of their investments.
- Taxation of Interest
Income by way of interest received on debentures, bonds and other debt instruments held as ‘Investments’ (i.e.
capital asset) will be charged to tax under the head IFOS at the rates applicable to the investor after deduction
of expenses, if any, allowable under section 57 of the IT Act. These are essentially expenses (not being in the
nature of capital expenditure) laid out or expended wholly and exclusively for the purpose of earning the
interest income. In case of debentures, bonds or other debt instruments held as ‘Stock-in-trade’, interest
received thereon will be charged to tax under the head PGBP.
The investors may obtain specific advice from their tax advisors regarding the tax treatment of their
investments.
75
(a) Taxable under the head PGBP
As discussed above, depending on the particular facts of each case, the NCD may, in certain cases, be
regarded to be in the nature of ‘Stock-in-trade’ and, accordingly, the gains from the transfer of such NCD
should be considered to be in the nature of business income and hence chargeable to tax under the head
PGBP.
In such a scenario, the gains from the business of investing in the NCD may be chargeable to tax on a ‘net’
basis (i.e. net of allowable deductions for expenses/allowances under Chapter IV – Part D of the IT Act).
The business income so computed, as reduced on account of set-off of brought forward or current year
losses in accordance with Chapter VI of the IT Act and unabsorbed allowances, if any, would go to form
part of the gross total income of the investor.
The gross total income would be reduced by deductions, if any, available under Chapter VI-A of the IT Act
and the resultant total income would be subject to tax at the tax rates as applicable to the investor (Refer
Note 1 and Note 2).
Based on section 145 of the IT Act, the timing of charging any income to tax would depend on the method
of accounting followed by the taxpayer consistently (i.e. cash or mercantile).
Investors should obtain specific advice from their tax advisors regarding the manner of computing business
income, the deductions available therefrom and the tax to be paid thereon.
As discussed above, based on the particular facts of each case, the NCD may, in certain cases, be regarded
to be held as ‘Investments’ in which case the gains or loss from the transfer of such NCD should be
chargeable to tax under the head CG.
Investors should, however, seek specific advice from their tax advisors/ consultants in respect of
characterization of capital gains, the manner of computation and the tax to be paid thereon.
3. Period of holding and Capital gain – long term & short term:
As per section 2(29AA) read with section 2(42A) of the IT Act, listed NCD is treated as a long-term capital asset
if the same is held for more than 12 months immediately preceding the date of its transfer and consequently, the
gain/ loss on transfer of such NCD should be treated as long term capital gain/ loss.
Accordingly, if listed NCD is held for upto 12 months immediately preceding the date of its transfer, the same
should be treated as a short-term capital asset and the gain/ loss on transfer of such NCD should be treated as
short-term capital gain/ loss.
Capital gains is computed after reducing from the consideration received for the transfer of the capital asset [‘full
value of consideration (FVC)], the cost of acquisition (CoA) of such asset and the expenses incurred wholly and
exclusively in connection with the transfer. The capital gains so computed will be chargeable to tax at the rates
as detailed in the ensuing paragraphs.
Long-term capital loss incurred during a year can be set-off only against long-term capital gains arising in that
year or in subsequent years and cannot be set-off against short-term capital gains arising in that year or in
subsequent years. The long-term capital loss remaining after set-off, if any, can be carried forward for eight years
immediately succeeding the year in which the loss was first computed, to be for set-off against subsequent years’
long-term capital gains.
On the other hand, short-term capital loss incurred during a year can be set-off against both, short-term and long-
term capital gains of the same year or of subsequent years. The short-term capital loss remaining after set-off, if
76
any, can be carried forward for eight years immediately succeeding the year in which the loss was first computed,
to be set-off against subsequent years’ short-term as well as long-term capital gains.
• Interest on NCD received by resident NCD holders would form part of their total income and be subject to tax at the
applicable rates of tax (Note 1 and 2 below) in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the IT Act.
• Capital gains on transfer of NCD shall be computed by deducting from the FVC, expenditure incurred wholly and
exclusively in connection with the transfer and the CoA of the NCD.
As per section 112 of the IT Act, capital gains arising on the transfer of long-term capital assets being listed
debentures are subject to tax at the rate of 10% (plus applicable surcharge and health & education cess – Note 2
below) on the capital gains calculated without indexing the cost of acquisition (Fourth proviso to Section 48
restricts indexation benefit in case of long-term capital asset being a bond or debenture).
In case of an individual or HUF, being a resident, where the total income as reduced by such long-term capital
gains is below the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income-tax, then, such long-term capital gains
shall be reduced by the amount by which the total income as so reduced falls short of the maximum amount which
is not chargeable to income-tax and the tax on the balance of such long-term capital gains shall be computed at the
rate mentioned above.
Short-term capital gains on the transfer of listed debentures, where debentures are held for a period of not more
than 12 months would be taxed at the applicable rates of tax (as mentioned in Note 1 and 2 below) in accordance
with the provisions of the IT Act.
• A non-resident Indian has an option to be governed by Chapter XII-A of the IT Act, subject to the provisions
contained therein which are given in brief as under:

of his parents or any of his grand-parents, was born in undivided India.
• As per section 115E of the IT Act, interest income from debentures acquired or purchased with or subscribed to in
convertible foreign exchange will be taxable at 20% (plus applicable surcharge and cess), whereas long term capital
gains on transfer of such debentures will be taxable at 10% (plus applicable surcharge and cess – Note 2 below) of
such capital gains without indexation of CoA. Short-term capital gains will be taxable at the applicable rates of tax
(as mentioned in Note 1 and 2 below) in accordance with and subject to the provisions contained therein.
• In accordance with and subject to the provisions of section 115-I of the IT Act, a non-resident Indian may opt not
to be governed by the provisions of Chapter XII-A of the IT Act. In such a case, long-term capital gains on transfer
of listed debentures would be subject to tax at the rate of 10% (plus applicable surcharge and cess – Note 2 below)
computed without indexation of CoA.
• Interest income and short-term capital gains on the transfer of listed debentures, where debentures are held for a
period of not more than 12 months preceding the date of transfer, would be taxed at the applicable rates of tax (as
mentioned in Note 1 and 2 below) in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the IT Act.
• Where debentures are held as stock-in-trade, the income on transfer of debentures would be taxed as business
income in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the IT Act.

provided by the assessee along with the TRC which is valid and subsisting.

Economic Outlook
Global Economy
As per the International Monetary Fund (IMF)’s World Economic Outlook growth projections released in July 2022, the
world economy grew by 6.1% in CY21 majorly due to economic recovery and the lower base. For CY22, projection for
global economic growth slashed to 3.2% citing disruptions due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and higher-than-expected
inflation worldwide. The IMF projects world economy growth between 2.9%-3.6% on year on year (Y-o-Y) basis for
next 5 years.
For the major Advanced economies group, the revision in July 2022 growth outlook from previous outlook published in
April 2022 is largely negative. One of the major country from this group is United States. The baseline growth for United
States is revised down by 1.4 percentage points and 1.3 percentage points in CY22 and CY23 respectively. This revision
indicates significantly less momentum in private consumption and in part reflects the erosion of household purchasing
power.
For the Emerging market and developing economies group as well, the revision in July 2022 outlook from the previous
April 2022 outlook is broadly negative. This downgrade is primely reflection of sharp slowdown of China’s economy
and the moderation in India’s economic growth. With a 1.1 percentage point downgrade, growth outlook of China for
CY22 is estimated to be 3.3%. This is the lowest growth in more than four decades, excluding the initial COVID-19 crisis
in CY20. Shanghai, a major global supply chain hub, entered a strict lockdown in April 2022 due to worrisome surge in
Covid-19 cases, forcing citywide economic activity to halt for about eight weeks. The worsening crisis in China’s property
sector is also dragging down sales and real estate investment.
The estimates for India’s GDP growth has been kept at 7.4% in CY22 while for CY23 the projection has been made of
6.1%. Compared to the previous outlook released in April 2022, these estimates are downgraded by 0.8 percentage point
in both CY22 and CY23. This downgrade is majorly reflection of less favorable external conditions and more rapid policy
tightening.

Despite of the turmoil in last two-three years, India bears good tidings for becoming USD 5 trillion economy by CY27.
According to the IMF dataset on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at current prices for India, the current GDP is estimated
to be at USD 3.5 trillion for CY22 and projected to be at USD 5.5 trillion by CY27. The expected GDP growth rate of
India for coming years is almost double as that of world economy.

With the geopolitical tension between Russia-Ukraine, the economic consequences are anticipated to be serious in near
to medium term. Surge in Energy and commodity prices have added pressure to the existing global inflation. In Asia, the
biggest impact is expected to be felt among oil importers of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) economies,
India and frontier economies including some Pacific Islands. The other impact is likely to be seen in the neighbouring
economies due to disrupted trade and supply chains. Further, the reduced business confidence and higher investor
uncertainty will weigh on asset prices, tightening financial conditions and potentially spurring capital outflows from
emerging markets.
Besides this, India stands out as the fastest growing economy in the world. Outshining the growth rate of China, the
Indian economy is expected to grow at more than 6% rate in the coming years CY23-CY27.
Indian economy is paving its way towards becoming largest economy in the world. Currently, India is the third largest
economy globally in terms of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) with ~7% share in global economy with China ~17% on
the top and United states ~15% being second. Purchasing Power Parity is an economy performance indicator denoting
price of an average basket of goods and services that a household needs for livelihood in each country. In spite of the
pandemic and the geo-political tensions in Europe, India has been one of the major contributors to world economy growth.
Indian Economy
87
The FY21 started with the country being hit by the pandemic which saw lockdowns and restrictions being imposed across
states. This impeded economic output in Q1FY21 and led to a year-on-year (y-o-y) decline of 23.8% in GDP. By the end
of Q4FY21, the economy preceded the way to recovery. In broader sense, the pandemic resulted to 6.6% of negative
growth for the FY21 for the economy.
The Indian economy bounced back strongly in Q1FY22 with 20.3% y-o-y growth due to low base. The easing of
lockdowns and restrictions across states since June coupled with the decline in Covid-19 cases and higher vaccination
rate facilitated higher economic activity at a faster than expected and this was reflected in the GDP for the Q2FY22 which
grew annually by 8.5%. The dip in Q3FY22 of 5.4% can be attributed to fading base effect. India’s economy recorded
modest growth at 4.1% in Q4FY22, down from 5.4% in the previous quarter. The economy was hit by the third wave of
Covid-19 during the quarter. Global supply bottlenecks due to the Russia-Ukraine dispute and higher input costs did
slowed the pace of recovery in the last quarter. Overall, in FY22, India is expected to have witnessed 8.7% growth.
With improvement in demand for contact-intensive sectors and positive business and consumer sentiment, the
discretionary spending and urban consumption can be expected to bolster economic growth. Along with growing
government support and push towards capex, the investment activities can be foreseen to stay upright through improving
bank credit and rising capacity utilization. On the other hand, elevated risks emanating from protracted geopolitical
tensions, the upsurge in global financial market volatility and tightening global financial condition also weigh heavily on
the growth outlook.
Taking all these factors into consideration, in August 2022, the RBI in its bi-monthly monetary policy meeting continued
to retain its real GDP growth projection at 7.2% for FY23. In February 2022 outlook released by RBI, the real GDP for
FY23 was pegged at 7.8% which later in April 2022 outlook was pared down to 7.2% and subsequently retained in June
2022 outlook.
Despite the global growth uncertainties, Indian economy is relatively better placed. The major headwinds to economic
growth are escalating geopolitical tensions, elevated global commodity prices and shortages of key inputs. However, the
bright spots for the economy are improving demand conditions, support from government capital expenditure and
improving business confidence. Various high-frequency growth indicators including purchasing managers index, auto
sales, bank credit, GST collections have shown improvement in the first few months of FY23.
Despite of high food and fuel inflation pressure, the normalizing employment situation after the opening up of economy
is expected to improve and provide support to consumption expenditure.
Public investment is expected to exhibit healthy growth as the government has budgeted for a strong capital expenditure
growth in FY23. The private sector’s intent to invest is also showing improvement as per the data on new investment
projects announced. However, the sharp rise in commodity prices and the economic uncertainties emanating from global
turbulence is likely to slow down the pick-up in the private investment cycle.
Among sectors, the industrial segment is expected to be negatively impacted due to high input prices. Nonetheless, with
flagship programmes like ‘Make in India’ and the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes the government is
continuing to provide the support to boost the industrial sector. Service sectors are expected to see a bounce back in FY23
with a return to economic normalcy. However, in the services sector, some segments like Information Technology would
feel the pinch of slowing in US economic growth.
Non-banking financial institutions (NBFIs) comprise a heterogeneous group of financial intermediaries. Those under the
regulatory purview of the Reserve Bank consist of:
88
• All-India financial institutions (AIFIs) that include National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development
(NABARD), the Export Import (EXIM) Bank of India, the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and
the National Housing Bank (NHB) are apex financial institutions that play an important role in meeting the long-
term funding requirements of agriculture and the rural sector, foreign trade, small industries, housing finance
companies (HFCs), NBFCs, Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) and other specialised segments and institutions.
• Non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) are government/public/private limited companies that specialise in
delivering credit to a wide variety of specific segments, ranging from infrastructure to consumer durables and vehicle
financing. Housing finance companies (HFCs) extend housing finance to individuals, co-operative societies,
corporate bodies and lease commercial and residential premises to support housing activity in the country.
• Primary dealers (PDs) came into existence in 1995 and act as market makers in the government securities (G-secs)
market, besides ensuring subscription to primary issuances.
Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) play an important role in the Indian financial system by complementing and
competing with banks, and by bringing in efficiency and diversity into financial intermediation. NBFCs have evolved
considerably in terms of operations, heterogeneity, asset quality and profitability, and regulatory architecture.
The consolidated balance sheet of the NBFCs expanded at a slower pace in 2018-19 and in the first half of 2019-20 in
the aftermath of IL&FS default and rating downgrades of a few companies. NBFCs’ credit growth continued, supported
by bank borrowings. Although gross non-performing assets (GNPA) ratio showed an uptick, their capital position
remained stable. Housing Finance Companies (HFCs) experienced deceleration in credit growth and muted profitability
as market confidence in the sector waned. The Reserve Bank and the Government took several measures to address these
challenges by enhancing systemic liquidity and strengthening the governance and risk-management framework of
NBFCs, including HFCs. The consolidated balance sheet of AIFs expanded on the back of robust credit growth,
particularly due to augmentation of line of credit by NABARD.

Note: Figures in bracket indicates number of Institutions as of Sep 21
Non-banking financial institutions (NBFIs) are a group of diverse financial intermediaries which, in a bank-dominated
financial system like India, serve as an alternative channel of credit flow to the commercial sector. Among the various
institutions that perform this function, those regulated by the Reserve Bank are AIFIs, NBFCs, PDs and HFCs.
Although merchant banking companies, stock exchanges, companies engaged in the business of stock-broking/sub-
broking, venture capital fund companies, nidhi companies, insurance companies and chit fund companies are NBFCs,
they have been exempted from the requirement of registration with the Reserve Bank under Section 45-IA of the RBI
Act, 1934.
89
The Finance (No.2) Act, 2019 (23 of 2019) has amended the National Housing Bank Act, 1987, conferring certain powers
for regulation of housing finance companies (HFCs) with the Reserve Bank of India. HFCs are henceforth treated as a
category of NBFCs for regulatory purposes. NBFCs specialize in delivering credit to a wide variety of niche segments,
ranging from infrastructure to consumer durables.

To maintain the asset quality post the moratorium in the first half of FY22, NBFCs were more cautious while deploying
any fresh credit which led to slight decline in NBFCs total credit deployed. With the growing economy activity, increased
liquidity and strong balance sheet coupled with high provisions are expected to support asset quality and credit growth
for NBFCs.
The industry sector has remained the largest recipient of credit extended by NBFCs followed by retail loans, services,
other non-food credit, and agriculture & allied activities. Following the IL & FS crisis, NBFCs’ exposure to the
manufacturing declined, as per data published by RBI, as NBFCs were facing liquidity crunch and were hesitant to deploy
long term credit to industry. However, after recovering from the IL & FS crisis and the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic, NBFCs have improved liquidity and stronger balance sheets. NBFCs have increased the amount of credit
deployed to industry on account of an improved demand for credit amid the reopening of the economy and resumption
of manufacturing activities. As of March 2022, industry credit contributed to Rs. 11.1 lakh crores that is around 40% of
NBFCs gross credit deployed, according to the RBI.
90
While NBFCs’ credit to industry is growing, their credit to services is declining majorly on account of the decline in
credit to the commercial real estate sector and retail trade. The commercial real estate sector and the retail trade sector
were highly impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic as the nationwide lockdown halted construction activities and the
movement of people and goods. However, in FY22 NBFCs credit to services has increased on account of improved
demand from transport operators, professional services and other NBFCs. As of March 2022, as per data published by
RBI, credit deployed to the service sector contributed to Rs. 4.4 lakh crores that is around 15.3% of NBFCs gross credit
deployed.
Retail loans comprise housing loans, vehicle loans, loans against gold, consumer durable loans and other such personal
loans. In 2019, retail credit accounted for around 26% of total credit deployed by NBFCs. As of March 2022, the
contribution of retail loans increased to nearly a third of NBFCs gross credit deployed, which stood at Rs. 28.5 lakh
crores.
Asset Quality
The asset quality of NBFCs which has seen an improvement by the end of FY21 on account of high provisions and
marginal improvement in capital adequacy. However, As per RBI, GNPA of NBFCs, saw an uptick at the end of
December 2021 owing to revised income recognition asset classification and provisioning (IRACP) norms. As of March
2022, GNPA and NNPA of NBFCs increased to 6.2% and 3.3% respectively. NBFCs overall asset quality is largely
impacted due to their high concentration towards the industrial sector.
Capital Adequacy
As of December 2021, NBFCs’ CRARs improved further, attributable to an increase in the level of Tier-I capital, retained
earnings and moderation in NPA. NBFCs are well capitalised, with their capital to risk-weighted asset ratio (CRAR) well
above the stipulated level of 15 per cent. For a sample of 155 NBFCs, as per RBI data, CRAR was 26.7% as of March
2022.

The real estate industry is one of the most crucial and recognized sectors across the globe. The industry can be further
segmented into four sub-sections – housing, commercial, retail, and hospitality. Of these, the residential segment
contributes to around 80 percent of the overall sector. The growth of the overall real estate industry also depends on the
growth in the corporate environment and the demand for office spaces, urban and semi-urban accommodations. The
construction industry is therefore one of the major sectors in terms of its direct, indirect, and induced impacts on all
sectors of the economy.
The housing finance sector in India comprises financial institutions, scheduled commercial banks, regional rural banks,
agriculture, and rural development banks, housing finance companies, state-level apex cooperative housing finance
society, NBFCs, Finance institutions (“MFIs”), and self-help groups.
• Housing development is a key driver of broader economic and community development, employment creation, asset
creation, and wealth accumulation.
• Government has shown keen interest in this industry and hence taken various steps through their policy making such
as Real Estate Regulatory Act (RERA), Benami Transactions Act, boost to affordable housing construction and
Interest subsidy to home buyers.
• The Government is making ample of efforts towards affordable housing finance such as the Pradhan Mantri Awas
Yojana (PMAY) which was launched in June 2015 to provide affordable housing to the urban poor. In February 2022
the Government has allocated an outlay of Rs. 48,000 crores under PMAY towards the construction of 80 lakh homes.
• As of 28th July 2022, total number of houses completed under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) – PMAY
(U) has reached around 61 lakhs. As of December 2019, under PMAY (U), nearly 113 lakh houses have been
sanctioned in urban areas. This scheme is expected to ramp up affordable housing and construction in the country
and give a boost to the real estate sector.

A rapid growth of housing loans in banks’ portfolio over the last two decades has resulted in housing loans becoming a
significant component of the overall loan portfolio of banks. Similarly, housing loans form a large chunk of HFCs loan
portfolio more than half of HFCs loan book comprises of housing loans. As of March 2022, outstanding individual
housing loans by SCBs were around Rs. 16.8 lakh crores i.e. 63% of the total outstanding home loans. Outstanding
housing finance by HFCs were around Rs. 9.9 lakh crores i.e. 37% of the total outstanding home loans.
Banks HFCs
As can be seen in above, the HFCs have more than 35% market share in housing loans disbursed in India. However,
banks also purchase housing loan portfolios from other intermediaries and so the stock of loans outstanding may not
reflect the proportion of disbursements.
Housing finance companies (HFCs) are specialised lending institutions which, along with SCBs, are the main providers
of housing finance. HFCs’ credit towards housing finance improved by around 18% y-o-y in FY22 whereas SCBs’
housing finance portfolio grew at around 13% y-o-y in FY22.

Note: Mortgage indicates SCBs credit towards housing finance
Given the unmet demand for housing and low penetration of mortgages in India, the housing market, and the financing
market associated with it, is expected to see secular growth over the next many years.
CareEdge estimates the growth in housing loans of NBFCs and HFCs to have been around 6-8% in Fiscal 2022. CareEdge
expects the housing finance sector to grow by 10% in Fiscal 2023 primarily due to sustained demand from the affordable
housing segment. At present, there is a huge unmet demand for affordable housing in India. However, the bottoming out
of interest rates amid high property prices will continue to be a key monitorable for the housing finance segment as a
whole.
Lending rates of banks, and consecutively, housing financiers are projected to inch up in Fiscal 2023 after registering a
deceleration in Fiscal 2021. Interest rates on loans eased sharply following an expansionary monetary policy as the
coronavirus pandemic prompted the central bank to prioritise growth and recovery. Interest rates subsequently remained
benign during Fiscal 2022 as weak investment climate, muted demand for fresh credit and recurrent COVID-19 waves
kept a lid on credit growth.
The ongoing Fiscal year is likely to witness a gradual restoration of benchmark policy rates on account of food inflation
and fuel inflation led by geopolitical tensions. CareEdge expects this to translate into a bottoming out of interest rates
although the nascent recovery in credit growth will ensure that interest rates do not rise sharply. Some larger banks have
already announced an upward revision in their lending rates and CareEdge expects this to increase the cost of funds for
housing financiers. Resultantly, the effective lending rates of housing finance companies are projected to inch up. A rise
in interest rates is unlikely to bode well for the recovery of the economy and may dissuade consumers, particularly retail
consumers, from actively seeking home loans. CareEdge expects there will be a rise in lending rates amidst high property
prices and a hike in stamp duty of Tier 1 cities, which will make high-priced homes more expensive. The effective hike
in prices will affect the affordability of homes leading to a slower growth in property sales and housing finance.
The Government is making ample of efforts towards affordable housing finance, such as the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana
(“PMAY”), which was launched in June 2015 to provide affordable housing to the urban poor. In February 2022, the
Government allocated an outlay Rs. 48,000 crores under PMAY towards the construction of 8 crore homes. While
CareEdge expects this to facilitate the affordable housing segment, it is unlikely that the benefits will be witnessed during
the ongoing Fiscal year itself. CareEdge expects the outcome of this additional outlay under PMAY in the medium term
to remain contingent upon the efficient construction and timely delivery of houses. Data as per PMAY indicates a
completion rate of around 48% for the affordable housing program. Since inception, the Government sanctioned 115 lakh
houses under PMAY, of which 56 lakh were completed as of November 2021. CareEdge expects affordable housing
demand to gain slight momentum on account of Government incentives. CareEdge expects the overall boost in demand
in the residential segment to aid the need for housing finance.
MSME Finance
Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector has emerged as a highly vibrant and dynamic sector of the Indian
economy over the last five decades. It contributes significantly in the economic and social development of the country by
fostering entrepreneurship and generating large employment opportunities at comparatively lower capital cost, next only
to agriculture. MSMEs are complementary to large industries as ancillary units and this sector contributes significantly
in the inclusive industrial development of the country.
95
The MSMEs are widening their domain across sectors of the economy, producing diverse range of products and services
to meet demands of domestic as well as global markets.
In FY 2021, the country disbursed loans worth Rs. 9.5 lakh crores to MSME sector, which is higher than preceding years
of 6.8 lakh crores in FY 2020. This sharp jump in MSME lending in 2021 has been supported by Atmanirbhar Bharat
scheme of ECLGS which provided 100% credit guarantee to lenders.
NBFCs’ credit deployed to MSMEs engaged in the manufacturing sector as per RBI was on a downtrend and stood at Rs.
50,372 crores as of March 2020 due to a combination of weakened demand from MSMEs and nagging liquidity issues of
NBFCs. NBFCs mainly deploy credit to MSMEs belonging to the services and agricultural sectors. In comparison, bank
credit to MSMEs witnessed a consistent growth. Bank credit deployed to MSMEs witnessed an improvement in the year
ending March 2021 and strengthened further in the first half of Fiscal 2022 on account of a resurgence in demand from
MSMEs as well as support from the Central Government by way of credit guarantee. The emergency credit line guarantee
scheme or the ECLGS scheme announced by the Government in May 2020 after the pandemic hit the country in March
2020 revived credit offtake by MSMEs. The scheme was introduced to help mitigate the economic distress faced by
MSMEs by providing them additional funding in the form of a fully guaranteed emergency credit line.
The credit extended towards MSME has increased significantly as during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government
encouraged banks to extend credit to MSMEs and aid them to buffer the effects of the pandemic. And as micro and small
enterprises were more vulnerable, the credit towards them during the pandemic increased significantly during the Fiscal
2021, as per data published by the RBI. On the other hand, medium enterprises were able to buffer the effects of pandemic
to a certain extent. Although the credit towards medium enterprises increased over the previous Fiscal year, the growth
was moderate compared to growth in credit extended to micro and small enterprises.
Recent Developments
• The government has revised definition for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The government will now
accord MSME status to retailers and wholesale traders. The decision will benefit 2.5 crores retail and wholesale traders
in the country. This is a positive move to provide easier access to credit and loans millions of retailers and wholesalers
to modernise and expand their business. It will aid in boosting informal retail sector’s contribution towards GDP &
overall economic growth.
• In April 2021, the non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) requested the Reserve Bank of India to extend the one-
time restructuring scheme of MSME advances till March 31, 2022, as these players are unable to revive their
businesses.
• In March 2021, the Ministry of MSME, through the Development Commissioner (DC-MSME) implemented the
Technology Centre Systems Program (TCSP) to establish 15 new Technology Centres (TC). The centres provide
assistance to the industry predominantly MSMEs in General Engineering, Automotive, Fragrance & Flavour and
ESDM sectors.
• In March 2021, the Finance Ministry allowed private retirement funds to invest up to 5% in Category I & II AIFs
regulated by SEBI; this will help widen the fundraising options for MSMEs and expand the domestic pool of capital
• Category 1 AIFs consists of infrastructure, venture capital, angel and social venture funds. Category II AIFs covers
funds where at least 51% of the size can be invested in either infrastructure, SMEs, venture capital or social welfare
entities
• In March 2021, MSME support and development organisation, National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC)
announced that they will assist MSMEs working with the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export
Development Authority (APEDA) across multiple areas
• The relationship will also support promotion of green & sustainable manufacturing technology for MSME clusters,
enabling units to switch to sustainable and green production processes and products
• In February 2021, Walmart's Vriddhi programme was extended to Uttar Pradesh, with launch of an e-institute to
facilitate small businesses in granting access to skills and competencies across online and offline platforms such as
96
Flipkart's marketplace and Walmart's global supply chain. The company stated that this new e-institute will benefit
50,000 MSMEs across the country to expand domestically and globally.
• In February 2021, Indian Bank signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Society for Innovation and
Development (SID), a project of the Indian Institute of Science, to provide exclusive credit to start-ups and MSMEs.
• In February 2021, the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI), a financial institution dedicated to the
promotion, financing, and development of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), signed an agreement with
the government of Andhra Pradesh to help expand the state's MSME ecosystem.
• Udyam Registration: In 2020, the Ministry classified MSMEs based on investment in plant & Machinery/equipment
and turnover of MSMEs as a composite criteria for classification. Initially, the process was filed by Udyog Aadhaar
Memorandum which is now replaced by 'Udyam' registration on a portal developed by this Ministry.
• Exemption from requirement of having GSTIN: The ministry has exempted from the requirement of having GSTIN
shall be as per the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, that will lead to increase in the
registration on Udyam Registration portal.
• Also, the Government has included Retail and Wholesale Trades as MSMEs from 2nd July, 2021 and are allowed to
be registered on Udyam Registration Portal. The Government has also included Street Vendors as Retail Trades as
MSMEs from 2nd August, 2021.
Conclusion
The MSME sector is the driving force of the Indian economy and has major potential to spur industrialisation across the
economy. However, this sector is small in terms of the scale of operations and business size. MSMEs employ a large
number of people, making the sector a key contributor to the economic development of the country. The sheer number of
people in the workforce has also led to the Government disbursing various kinds of support and benefits.
In the coming months, CareEdge expects MSMEs to recover from the effects of the pandemic and input inflation and
grow on account of increased demand for finished products, availability of labour, improved use of digital solutions
adopted during the pandemic.
In addition, the extension of the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (“ECLGS”) to March 31, 2023 is aimed at
assisting MSMEs in availing credit that is required to ensure recovery, and is likely to aid in the recovery and growth of
this sector. Besides, an additional Rs. 2 trillion provided by the Government through the Credit Guarantee Trust for Micro
and Small Enterprises (“CGTMSE”) is also expected to further encourage growth of the sector. CareEdge expects these
initiatives to stimulate credit outreach to MSMEs, provide last-mile financial inclusion and promote job creation in the
sector.
MSMEs have to generate employment opportunities, improve performance, transform their business operations and carry
out technology-based production and invest in research and development activities. In addition to this, CareEdge expects
MSMEs to contribute more than 40% of India’s nominal gross domestic product (“GDP”) by Fiscal 2025 for which it
will require immense support from the Government, institutions and banks.
Wholesale Finance
Wholesale finance refers to loans disbursed by banks to corporates belonging to the manufacturing and services sector.
The profile of wholesale credit in 2020-21 reflects a subdued credit situation across bank groups, pointing to risk aversion
and muted demand weighing on the outlook. The coronavirus pandemic halted industrial activity during the June 2020
quarter. Production was stalled and factories remained shut. Even with the gradual reopening of the economy and the
lifting of lockdown restrictions across states, companies were unable to fully utilize existing capacities on account of
muted demand across segments. With existing capacities not used optimally, companies were in no requirement of
financing from banks. Additionally, the recessionary fears brought by the pandemic likely put the corporate sector in a
wait-and-watch mode. Companies were and are expected to wait for demand to pick up discernibly and sustain before
wanting to secure new loans for any projects or capacity expansions. This translated into credit to industry showing a
severe slowdown during the first half of 2020-21 before falling into the negative territory from October 2020 onwards.
97
Wholesale began showing a growth over the previous from March 2021 but the growth was nominal at less than half a
per cent. The latest data published by the RBI shows that wholesale credit picked up in FY22 and registered an 8.1%
growth over FY21. This revival in growth was on account economic growth following waning of the pandemic and
increased vaccination.

such as cooperatives, partnerships, trusts and societies. The market capitalisation of central public sector enterprises
(CPSEs) has, however, fallen in an otherwise bullish equity market, implying muted market expectations about value
creation through the PSU channel.

Wholesale loans remained subdued during the beginning of FY21 on account of pandemic-led lockdowns. The sequential
growth in wholesale loans began improving following a resumption in economic activities in September 2021 quarter.
Although the second wave impacted wholesale loans, the demand for wholesale loans picked up in H2FY22. Wholesale
loans grew by 5.8% in the March 2022 quarter over the December 2021 quarter.
Retail loan growth continued its momentum during FY21. While the initial months of the pandemic slowed down retail
loan growth a tad, retail loans began increasing ahead of the festive season as slightly better off consumers began
loosening their purse strings after being forced to save for close to five months. The rate of growth of retail loans improved
in FY21. The second wave of the pandemic had virtually no impact on retail loans. Retail loan growth stood at 9.7%
during the March 2022 quarter over the December 2021 quarter.
98
Conclusion
With banks reducing exposure to real estate developers in the past 2-3 years, non-banks have been the primary lenders to
this segment. However, liquidity constraints faced by weaker non-banks since the second half of fiscal 2019 is unable to
growth more credit.
As non-banks focus on managing liquidity, lending to this segment is likely to remain weak, this may lead to a slowdown
in real estate construction activity. Also, the impact of COVID -19 need to be taken into account while considering the
growth outlook for short term. Over a longer period of time horizon of 3-5 years credit off take should increase keeping
in mind the various policies to be undertaken by government for the to reach US$ 5 trillion GDP goal for Indian Economy.
Index Movement
The role of capital markets is to act as a platform between buyers and suppliers engaging in trading of financial securities
such as stocks, bonds and various other securities. Capital markets help in mobilization of resources and allocation of
funds. The capital markets aid in providing long term funds to the corporate sector by channelizing savings and
investments between individuals who have capital and entities in need of funds.

The Indian capital markets have been on a steady growth trajectory since May 2020. The Government's decision of
imposing a nationwide lockdown triggered cold feet in the markets and subsequently, both Nifty and Sensex crashed to
multi-year lows. However, investors tried to use the temporary weakness in the market to build their portfolios and this,
coupled with a sharp cut in bank deposits, drew more investor participation in equities. This resulted in the indices
witnessing a return to growth as early as May 2020. Gradually, with a resumption of activities, rebound of trade and
presence of only localized lockdowns, the optimism in India's growth continued to strengthen. In the near term, the indices
are likely to grow at the slower pace amid the fluctuations in the market caused by increase interest rates by RBI, rise in
inflation and uncertainty surrounding the ongoing geo-political tensions.

Given India's long-term economic prospects, positive demographics, rising income levels, and current low penetration,
Indian Wealth Management market is on a steady upward trajectory. While India's wealthy individuals are less in
comparison with established markets, the country's wealth is expected to expand rapidly in the future. The key factors for
growth wealth management business in India are large and young mass affluent segment; an increase in wealth of global
Indians'; the Indian government's push to regulate illegal channels of funds and tighten capital market regulations.
The demographic difference presents an opportunity to create new products to address the needs of a young population
and leverage new technologies, such as social and software-based investing applications as a key differentiator. Indian
wealth management industry is largely focused mainly on the urban segment, leaving untapped majority of Indian
population. One of the key factors for Advisors is to develop trust with the potential investors where advisors constantly
need to build its brand, focus on overcoming trust barriers, invest in technology and focus on transparency and
compliance.
In 2018, top 8% of the total population in India represents 45% of the total wealth and of the above only 20% take advice
from wealth managers. With increase in start-ups, rising income levels and friendly macro factors with ease of doing
business will drive growth of young HNI population in India; there is a big opportunity for a wealth management firm to
tap into an underpenetrated market with huge upside growth potential for wealth managers.

The Indian Wealth Management market is on a sustained path of growth, given India’s long-term economic prospects,
positive demographics, rising income levels and current low penetration. While the percentage of wealthy individuals in
India is very small compared with developed markets, very high potential of growth in wealth is estimated in future. India
has the key ingredients of a high-growth wealth management market, namely driven by a very large and young mass
affluent segment; an increase in the wealth of global Indians; the Indian government’s push to control illegal channel of
funds and push for tighter regulations of the capital markets.

Conclusion
The Indian wealth management industry witnessed a structural shift over the past few years on account of changing
demographics, increase in the number of millennials focusing on investing, and increased penetration of digitization. The
pandemic-led 2021 accelerated the shift from traditional investing avenues such as bank deposits to equities on account
of lower interest rates for term deposits.
Cumulatively, both the depositories (NSDL and CDSL) have added 345.8 lakh new accounts in 2021-22 fiscal year, with
CDSL itself accounting for 296 lakh new demat accounts, indicating that renewed optimism surrounding growth and the
resultant exuberance in stock markets drew many first-time investors.
The increase in focus on wealth management comes as investors are more aware and attuned to current events and are
actively planning their finances to meet their goals or in times of distress. Additionally, there is a growing trend towards
achieving financial self-reliance for meeting discretionary spends and maintaining lifestyle. Indian household savings
have also been witnessing some considerable structural shifts of late.
Households in India have historically been quite risk-averse and wary of investing their savings into volatile or uncertain
return-based assets. A pursuit of safe bets has always driven India towards making investments in unproductive assets
like gold. This pattern is slowly changing over time, especially since demonetization in November 2016. Also, the country
has seen a major shift in attitude from capital preservation to wealth creation from FY17.
In FY2023, the growth is likely to be moderate on account of increased inflation, weaker economic outlook for the year
impacted by the ongoing geo-political tensions. CareEdge Research expects the following trend to drive the growth of
the wealth management industry.
Need for reliable advice – The complexity of the financial markets can be a deterrent due to the many investment options
at hand. A lay investor is likely to face headwinds due to the inability to understand the suitability of options with his/her
own risk appetite and goals. This gives rise to a knowledgeable and reliable wealth manager who can guide the investor
through many goals using different investment and funding strategies.
Increase in wealth advisory platforms – The advent of the internet and rise in smartphone penetration has opened up
newer wealth advisory platforms for investors. This has resulted in investors accessing platforms having easy-to-use
interfaces where investments are made at the click of the finger.
103
Digital wealth management also includes using technology to offer more value, better services and enhance the
customer’s investor experience. Wealth advisory platforms also make the investment process accessible and affordable
to a large section of people, thus increasing the reach of the wealth management industry.
Financial planning to achieve goals – Investors today are focusing on milestone-based planning and want to invest for
them adequately. These investment goals can be short-term and related to purchases or longer-term goals such as
education or retirement. Wealth managers need to rethink their strategies to not only focus on wealth maximization but
also on financial planning solutions covering the different timelines.
Shift from traditional asset classes – Retail investors are moving beyond traditional asset classes like fixed deposits due
to their sub-optimal real returns. They are looking for access to asset classes and investment strategies deployed by HNIs
and want to explore alternative assets. Wealth managers are therefore offering products beyond those that are
conventional in nature to attract greater participation from this strata of clientele. Additionally, wealth management is
moving from being a one-product-fits-all to more customized advisory based on the risk appetite, goals and time horizons
of the customers.
In sum, a change in the perception of investing of customers, increased participation of millennials in investing and newer
developments in technology will aid the growth of the wealth management industry, going forward.

Growth in the mutual funds industry's AUM has been on a steady rise. The increase in AUM is likely to be driven by a
higher growth in AUM of equity-linked mutual funds. We expect inflows towards equities to have ramped up on account
of increased buoyancy in indices towards the end of the first wave of the pandemic. As the markets refused to show any
signs of corrections in the months that progressed, fresh investments continued to make way into equity-linked mutual
funds and drove up the industry's AUM as a whole.

The wealth managed by portfolio managers (including assets under advisory) in India is about Rs.24.19 lakh crores as of
March 2022. The increased penetration of wealth management companies into Tier II and III cities will also help to drive
the growth given more than 40% of the UHNIs live in non-Metro cities, where currently wealth is majorly managed by
IFAs and Chartered Accountants.
The top five states, Maharashtra, Delhi, Karnataka, Gujrat, West Bengal contributed to around 70% of the AUM of mutual
fund as of March 2022. Of which, Maharashtra and New Delhi attributed to around 50% of the AUM. However, with
rising income levels and a growing affluent middle class, Retail investors are becoming more inclined towards equities
as an investment option over traditional preference of savings towards physical assets, especially from B30 cities.
Around 17% of the assets of the mutual fund industry came from B30 locations in December 2021. Assets from B30
locations increased from Rs.5.23 lakh crores in March 2021 to Rs.6.24 lakh crores in March 2022 representing an increase
of nearly 20%
Investors from B30 locations are attracted towards equity as compared to T30 (T30 refers to the top 30 geographical
locations in India and B30 refers to the locations beyond the top 30) where debt portion is higher due to large participation
from institutional investors. As of March 2022, 76% of the assets from B30 locations are in equity schemes as compared

Outlook
Growing financial savings in India, rising product penetration, attractive returns and an enabling regulatory landscape are
expected to encourage MF investments especially from retail customers, in the near-to-medium term. Despite the size
and growth profile, India continues to be underpenetrated with a mutual fund penetration rate (the ratio of period ending
mutual fund AUM to GDP) of 16.0% in 2020, as compared to 140% in the United States, 84% in Brazil and a global
average of 63%. Further, India accounts for less than 2% of the global mutual fund industry, representing a significant
growth opportunity. These drivers are expected to aid growth in industry net profits are forecast to log a robust growth
by FY25 as the mix of high-yield equity business rises, direct sourcing aids operating leverage, and AMC pricing power
improves with distributors.
Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) is a fund established or incorporated in India which is a privately pooled investment
vehicle collecting funds from sophisticated investors, whether Indian or foreign, for investing in accordance with a
defined investment policy for the benefit of its investors. These investments do not belong to any of the traditional or
conventional investment categories.
The AIF market in India is at a very nascent stage. Since SEBI regulations came into effect in 2012, the number of AIFs
registered in India has grown to 931 as of 23rd May 2022. Funds raised have increased significantly from Rs 40,956
crores as of March 2017 to around Rs 2,30,015 as of March 2021 to around Rs 3,13,863 crores as of March 2022 which
is around 36.4% of growth over March 2021, indicating the rapid growth in demand for alternative investments in India.

Passive funds
Indian passive funds have shown exponential growth over the last two years. The net assets under management of passive
funds has grown from Rs. 1,62,500 crores as of March 2020 to Rs. 4,99,319 crores as of March 2022 indicating massive
growth of over 207% over March 2020. The key growth trigger in recent times has been investment by the Employee
Provident Fund (EPFO). Currently this is dominated by SBI and UTI AMC's ETFs which are the designated managers
for EPFO. SBI AMC has the largest share of AUM in passive funds space mainly due to EPFO mandates, followed by
other AMCs.
Passive funds have high growth potential, which makes it an attractive segment for AMCs while the large proportion of
institutional mandates make managing the funds more profitable. As of March 2022, passive funds AUM for nearly 14%
of the mutual fund industry’s AUM.
The insurance industry seeks to protect a country’s people, assets and businesses. Hence, the business of insurance has
always been closely linked to a country’s business performance and asset ownership.
Life insurance protects the livelihoods of people and future earnings and has a direct correlation with the earnings of
people, their business performance and net worth. General insurance protects assets and businesses and their valuation as
well as overall economic activity. Hence, a popular way of measuring insurance penetration is to benchmark it with the
GDP of a country.
The insurance industry directs pooled funds towards those who need them the most and acts as a massive investor in
infrastructure and government bonds, thus indirectly funding large-scale government and private projects. The industry
also generates large-scale employment by employing people as agents, distributors and service providers, and thus plays
a fundamental role in strengthening the country’s economy. In FY14, the life insurance industry recorded a premium
income of Rs. 3.14 lakh crores, which doubled in six years to Rs. 6.29 lakh crores in FY21. The non-life insurance
industry collected direct premiums worth Rs. 0.80 lakh crores in FY14, which in FY21 grew to Rs. 2.02 lakh crores.

Life insurance is one of the fastest growing sectors in India since 2000. Parliament on March 22 passed the Insurance
Amendment Bill 2021 to increase the foreign direct investment (FDI) limit in the insurance sector to 74% from 49%. As
of June 30, 2021, there were total of 24 players in Life Insurance Sector off which LIC of India is the only public sector
company. LIC of India is the largest player in India having market share of 71% as of March 2022 (based on total new
business premium).
First Year Premium of life insurers grew at a much sharper rate of 37.3% y-o-y and reached Rs. 59,609 crores in March
2022. The growth can be attributed to a rise in the individual single premiums and group single premiums for March
2022.

The insurance segment in India is divided into two categories – life insurance and general insurance. While life insurance
policies cover the financial loss suffered due to loss of life, general insurance policies cover the financial loss suffered
due to the loss of an asset. General insurance, therefore, covers the loss of economic value of assets or the financial loss
suffered due to specific contingencies. General insurance has different types of plans, each of which is designed to cover
specific risks related to health, motor, fire, travel or any assets etc.
As of March 2022, there were total of 33 players in general insurance sector off which there are 6 insurers are in public
sector. General Insurance industry recorded growth of 11.1% y-o-y in FY22 there by crossing Rs. 2.2 lakh crores in total.

During FY22, all segments except the crop insurance segment, has shown significant growth compared to FY21, when
several segments had reported a drop in their premium numbers.
• The health segment has grown by 25.3% in FY22 which is significantly higher than the growth this segment
witnessed in FY21, given that the early part of FY21 was spent under a nationwide lockdown. The uncertainties
surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic has led to increase in market share of the health segment from around 27% in
FY20 to 33.3% in FY22.
• The Motor insurance segment has picked up in FY22 after degrowing in FY21. Motor insurance grew by 3.9% in
FY22 as the economy reopened and movement of people and good resumed. Motor insurance is the second largest
contributor of the general insurance industry.
• Crop insurance continues to degrow in FY22 leading to which its market share has also declined. This decline is
mainly on account of reluctancy in insurers due to issues such as delay in claims settlement, delay in the release of
subsidy, and voluntary nature of the scheme that have hampered the scheme. Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana
(PMFBY), is among such schemes that have been hampered due to some states opting out of the scheme.
• In FY22, General insurers showed significant growth of 9% compared to 2% in FY21. This growth can be attributed
to the health portfolio, followed by motor insurance segment accounting for some growth. General insurers continue
to form the largest share in general insurance industry.
• Standalone private health insurers growth in premium continues to be higher than industry average in FY22,
indicative that retail premiums are growing faster than the group business as the standalone health insurers derive
most of their premiums from the retail segment. In FY22, Standalone private health insurers witnessed 32% y-o-y
growth over FY21.
• Specialized insurers growth moderated to 15% y-o-y in FY22 over FY21.reported a significant drop of 44.7% in
September 2021 (significantly higher vs. the last year) but rose by 9.8% for H1FY22.
Outlook
The growth of Life insurance industry is expected to be driven by increase in the size of the global middle-class
population, higher incomes, medical and healthcare inflation, and the heightened need for mortality protection have
become the tailwinds for the life insurance industry. In addition to this the demand for pure term plans, low premium
rates, increased awareness are going to drivers of this growth.
In FY22, the non-life insurance industry has shown positive growth overall and with the changing perspective of
customers towards insurance, the industry performance is expected to improve over time. In FY22 growth has continued
to be driven by the health segment and by the private sector which grew at a significantly faster pace compared to the
public sector.
The non-life premiums are expected to be driven by continued growth in the health segment even at the higher base,
rising travel leading to a boost in personal accident / travel insurance, and enhanced digital solutions complemented by
the offline offerings, increased demand in the commercial segment with the uptick in economic activity. However, the
growth could be limited by the any rise in reinsurance rates, slow growth in motor third party premium.

Asset Reconstruction Company
Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs), as an institutional framework for NPA management, that has been in existence
for around 20 years. With the amendment of SARFESAI Act in September 2016 and subsequent regulatory modification,
along with transformational reforms such as the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, introduced by the Government of
India, the functioning of ARCs underwent the structural shift towards Real Assets reconstruction as against focused
recovery earlier.
The gross non-performing assets (GNPA) of banking industry improved to Rs. 6.7 lakh crores as on March 2022
compared to Rs. 8.8 lakh crores as of March 2021. Indicating a decline of 23% in FY22 over FY21.

With an increase in the proportion of cash deals, it is estimated that discounts will remain on higher side. To make way
for new acquisitions and attract new and repeat investors, it is imperative that ARCs quickly resolve the assets and
redeems the SRs. CareEdge expects the AUM to grow at 10% -12% CAGR in FY22.
117
Outlook
ARCs are an important part of the infrastructure for asset resolution and financial reform in India. So far, the evolution
of ARCs in India has been marked by phases of strong growth and stagnation in terms of assets under management and
the number of loan accounts handled. The phases of crests and trough were partly driven by the changing macroeconomic
conditions and largely by developing regulatory environment. The regulatory changes by the Reserve Bank have been
broadly geared towards strengthening the ARC industry, ensuring genuine sale of NPAs by banks, enhancing the
involvement of ARCs in the process of resolution, and deepening the market for SRs, among others.
The gross non-performing assets (GNPA) of banking industry improved to Rs. 6.7 lakh crores as on March 2022
compared to Rs. 8.8 lakh crores as of March 2021. In terms of untapped potential for ARCs, the gross non-performing
assets of the banking industry alone stood at Rs.8.8 lakh crores as of March and dipped to Rs.6.7 lakh crores. This implies
that ARCs managed the banking industry’s stressed assets.
Over the long term, factors such as regulatory transparency, higher stream of stressed assets, Government initiatives and
potential for greater returns in India vis-à-vis returns received from global stressed assets are likely to work in favour of
the Indian stressed assets market.
The development of a vibrant distressed assets market is key to growth as market participants are currently reliant on
loans from banks and the corporate bond market, which is underpenetrated at present. On part of banks, a sound distressed
assets market by way of asset reconstruction companies will ensure freeing up on bank capital which will enable banks
to grow their loan book. Additionally, the presence of asset reconstruction companies will ease the burden of debt
collections on banks or the resources required for the same.

Overview
Our Company, Edelweiss Financial Services Limited (“EFSL”), was incorporated on November 21, 1995 under the name
Edelweiss Capital Limited and started operations as an investment banking firm after receipt of a Category II license
from SEBI. Edelweiss Capital Limited subsequently received a Category I Merchant Banker license from SEBI with
effect from October 16, 2000. The name of Edelweiss Capital Limited was changed to ‘Edelweiss Financial Services
Limited’ with effect from August 1, 2011.
EFSL was listed in December 2007 under the symbols NSE: EDELWEISS, BSE: 532922, Reuters: EDEL.NS and
EDEL.BO and Bloomberg: EDEL IS and EDEL IB. Our Corporate Identity Number is L99999MH1995PLC094641.
After commencing the business as an investment banking firm, the Company, through its subsidiaries has now diversified
its businesses to include credit including retail and corporate credit, asset management, asset reconstruction, insurance
including life and general insurance business, and wealth management businesses, which are conducted through its
subsidiaries. However, the Edelweiss Wealth Management (“EWM”) Business and Edelweiss Gallagher Insurance
Brokers Limited (“EGIBL”) have ceased to be a subsidiary of our company with effect from March 26, 2021 and October
18, 2021, respectively. We believe that our research driven and client-centric approach and consistent ability to capitalise
on emerging market trends has enabled us to foster strong relationships across corporate, institutional (both domestic and
international), high networth individuals and retail clients.
We have a pan-India and international network with approximately 216 domestic offices, and three international offices
(total 219 offices), in approximately 126 cities in India and three international locations and employed approximately
5,833 employees as at June 30, 2022, excluding EWM offices and employees.
Our group comprises 29 subsidiaries and 10 associate companies as at June 30, 2022. Our profit/(loss) attributable to
owners of the Company was ₹ 1,887.84 million for the year ended March 31, 2022 and was ₹ 263.80 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2022 on a consolidated basis. Our total income of the Company was ₹ 73,046.00 million for the
year March 31, 2022 and was ₹ 12,936.60 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 on a consolidated basis. We believe
that our diversified business strategy has improved the resilience of our business model across economic cycles. We
constantly pursue innovation and invest in new ideas, newer products, newer alternate channels of delivery and so on.
We seek to add significant value by providing new and innovative products and services and are committed to focusing
on six key vectors in our journey into the future – people management, cost management, risk management, technology,
customer experience and innovation – while adhering to our business principles – which emphasise placing our clients’
interests first, commitment to excellence and innovation and teamwork.
Our group comprises 29 subsidiaries and 10 associate companies as at June 30, 2022. Our principal business lines and
major subsidiaries engaged in those business lines are as follows:

Our Strengths
We believe that the following strengths position us well for continued growth:
We have grown from a capital markets advisory business to become a diversified financial services group engaged in
retail credit, corporate credit, asset management, asset reconstruction, insurance business and wealth management
business. We believe that our diversified service platform allows us to leverage relationships across various lines of
businesses, thereby increasing our ability to garner repeat business and cross-sell our products and benefits from customer
reference. We believe that our research driven approach and consistent ability to capitalise on emerging market trends
has enabled us to foster strong relationships across corporate, institutional, HNI and retail clients. We also believe that in
the long run our diversified business model provides multiple vectors for growth, delivers consistent growth and
profitability, helps manage short-term volatility in the business cycle, affords us the ability to calibrate growth in line
with favourable macro and micro-economic and market conditions, and provides us with multiple avenues for deployment
and growth of our human capital.
We believe that our successful diversification of our businesses, asset classes, client segments and geographies since the
early years of the 2,000 decade have gradually increased the scale and/or profitability of our retail credit, wealth
management, asset management and insurance businesses, as well as the stability and sustainability on our overall
business performance.
Our pan-India and international network excluding EWM offices spanned across a total of 219 offices (including
approximately 216 domestic offices in approximately 26 Indian cities and three international offices in three international
locations) as at June 30, 2022.
The following map shows a snapshot of our pan-India distribution network of 216 domestic offices as at June 30, 2022.
120
Notes: Map is not according to scale and is only for illustration purposes. Offices exclude EWM offices.
Our extensive network enables us to acquire more customers, particularly for our retail businesses such as our retail credit,
wealth management, asset management and insurance businesses, where increased profitability and ROE are based upon
increased scale of business. Our retail customer base has grown from approximately 20,00,000 as at March 31, 2020 and
approximately 40,00,000 as at March 31, 2022 to approximately 46,00,000 as at June 30, 2022, excluding EWM clients
as at June 30, 2022.
Our Life Insurance business has also expanded its distribution footprint across India and had approximately 109 branches
in around 88 cities as at June 30, 2022.
Adequately capitalised
Our retail credit and corporate credit business operating under our NBFC and HFC licenses and are subject to the capital
to risk assets ratio (“CRAR”) requirements prescribed by the RBI. We are currently required to maintain a minimum 15%
CRAR in respect of our NBFC subsidiaries under the prudential norms prescribed by the RBI. In respect of our HFC
subsidiary, we are currently required to maintain a minimum 13% CRAR as on March 31, 2020, 14% on or before March
31, 2021 and 15% on or before March 31, 2022 under the prudential norms prescribed by the NHB. We generally maintain
a CRAR higher than the level that is prescribed by the RBI or NHB as applicable.
While the parent company of the group, EFSL, is currently not subject to any minimum CRAR requirements, the CRAR
for our major NBFCs in our Credit Business, as at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, on standalone basis are as under:
121
Name of the NBFC Minimum Regulatory CRAR as at CRAR as at
CRAR March 31, 2022 March 31, 2021
ECL Finance Limited 15% 30.50% 25.29%
Edelweiss Retail Finance Limited 15% 36.90% 39.85%
Edelweiss Housing Finance Limited (HFC) 14% by March 31, 2021 28.28% 26.49%
(calculated as per Ind AS) Total Capital Ratio 15% by March 31, 2022
While we believe that we are currently adequately capitalised, we continue to seek fresh capital or release capital through
securitisation of assets to fund our future asset growth as also to ensure that we do maintain a sufficient cushion over the
regulatory minimum CRAR in respect of our credit subsidiaries.
Our current funding requirements are predominantly sourced through credit facilities from banks and the issuance of
redeemable non-convertible debentures on a private placement basis and through public issuance. We have accessed
funds from multiple classes of credit providers, including nationalised banks, private Indian banks, mutual funds and
other NBFCs. We believe that we have developed stable long-term relationships with our lenders and established a track
record of the timely servicing of our debts. Our Total Borrowings on a consolidated basis were ₹2,27,109.83 million as
at March 31, 2022 out of which ₹76,458.50 million were to mature in less than a year. Our Total Borrowings on a
standalone basis was ₹ 24,611.69 million as on June 30, 2022.
Diversified credit profile, strong credit evaluation and risk management systems
We launched our credit business around 14 years ago with corporate credit products and we have diversified our credit
portfolio since then by adding various retail credit products. We seek to diversify our credit risk and ensure that no
individual credit product contributes a large portion to our overall credit book. We believe that this mitigates the risk of
concentration to any particular product or sector and helps us to manage our risk exposure in a more effective manner.
We also believe that the scale of our retail credit portfolio imparts stability to the credit book.
We believe that our business processes ensure independence of functions and a segregation of responsibilities. We believe
that our credit appraisal and credit control processes, centralised operations unit, approval of loans at transaction level
and in house internal audit unit for checking compliance with the prescribed policies, as well as our risk management
processes and policies allow multiple layers of checks and verifications. These legal and technical verifications include
collateral valuation, title search, document verification, fraud and KYC verifications, personal meetings with clients and
internal review before the disbursement of loans. Our processes have been standardised with the objective of providing
high quality of service and ensuring efficiency, and to facilitate integration of our workforce, processes and technology.
Each of our key business processes is regularly monitored by the respective business or operations head.
The asset quality of the overall credit book has continued to be under control with Gross NPA at 2.51% and Net NPA at
1.80 % as on March 31, 2022, Gross NPA at 6.71% and Net NPA at 5.84% as on March 31, 2021, compared to 3.20%
and Net NPA at 2.75% as on March 31, 2020. While the asset quality deteriorated during the Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2021
due to environmental headwinds including the effects of the pandemic, it has started improving in Fiscal 2022 following
a multi-pronged strategy adopted by us. We believe that we have the necessary internal controls and risk management
systems to assess and monitor risks across our various business lines. Our risk management systems function through an
independent department concerning accounts and operations at each business unit and a dedicated centralised risk
management team. We seek to monitor and control risk exposure through a variety of separate but complementary
financial, credit and operational reporting systems.
We believe that Edelweiss today enjoys a strong brand franchise in the financial services space backed by a reputation
for consistent focus on execution and innovation. We have sought to carve a distinct brand identity which, help us to
increase awareness and consideration amongst our customers.
We have a customised platform for loan origination and credit underwriting for some of our products in retail credit,
which provides our credit officers with basic scorecards generated by the platform, to judge the creditworthiness of an
individual. The platform generates scorecards after considering all factors, including an external credit rating (CIBIL),
salary or income details and other asset details. With the help of this platform, our credit officers are provided the data to
122
approve or reject a retail loan within a very short time. This platform is also linked to a de-duplication system, which
provides access to a customer’s credit history and record.
We believe that our customer service initiatives coupled with our use of technology has helped us enhance our recognition
and secure both new and repeat business in our retail operations. Our customised web portal for our broking clients acts
as a complete self-service tool, which allows our customers to review their credit, wealth management and insurance
products. The web portal provides facilities such as part-prepayment, foreclosure and payment of overdue amounts using
internet banking, as well as wealth management and management of online insurance products.
Our most important asset is our people. We seek to consistently reinforce our management strength and experience
through strong corporate governance and our employees’ commitment to our business through recruitment, training and
a performance review and compensation system that emphasises teamwork. Our senior management has extensive
experience in the banking and financial services sector and most of them have been with our group for a number of years,
providing stability in our senior management leadership. And each of our businesses is supported by a dedicated team of
managers with specialised professional expertise.
We believe the strength of our senior management team helps us in implementing policies and processes that ensure
healthy credit quality and high standards of work ethic and that our current management structure allows scalability. Our
senior management seeks to maintain a strong focus on corporate governance.
Our Strategies
Diversify our portfolio of products and expand the scale of our business
We intend to continue to diversify and expand our product portfolio to cater to the various financial needs of our customers
and increase the share of income derived from the sale of financial products and services. We intend to focus on high
growth and dispersed risk-retail lending and to continue to grow our presence in high growth segments such as Retail
Mortgages and SME loans by utilising our extensive branch network. We expect our retail business to provide
opportunities to achieve economies of scale and intend to diversify our risk across geographies, industries and collaterals.
In addition to our existing corporate and retail loan products, we intend to leverage our brand and office network to
develop complementary business segments and become the preferred provider of financial products – a one-stop shop for
our customers’ financial needs.
We expect that our diverse revenue stream will reduce our dependence on any particular product, which will enable us to
spread and mitigate our risk exposure to any particular industry, business, geography or customer segment as also to
reduce volatility in our performance. Offering a wide range of products also helps us to attract more customers and to
increase our scale of operations.
We expect that our complementary businesses will allow us to offer new products to existing customers while also
attracting new customers. We also expect that our knowledge of local markets will allow us to diversify into products
desired by our customers, differentiating us from our competitors.
We will actively seek growth opportunities in the businesses in which we operate as well as in new businesses that we
see as potential areas of growth and value creation. These opportunities can take various forms, including acquisitions,
mergers, joint ventures and strategic investments. To this end we will seek opportunities for organic and inorganic growth
as and when suitable opportunities come our way. We will pursue these growth opportunities where we see the ability to
add value for our various stakeholders and also grow our footprint across the businesses we operate in, including broking
etc. For example, we have acquired our multi strategy funds business in 2014 and believe we have successfully scaled it
up since then. We have also acquired the onshore schemes of JP Morgan Asset Management Company, India and have
acquired Ambit Alpha Fund to expand our product and services portfolios in our asset management business. We are also
moving towards a capital light model for our credit business by collaborating with Banks (co-lending, on-lending, co-
origination and securitisation) and down selling our wholesale loans to free up capital. Considering the constant evolution
in the regulatory framework, the Company may undertake restructuring of its group holding at an appropriate time, if
necessary.
123
Continue to leverage our large customer base and diversified business platform
We intend to continue to leverage our customer base by selling products across different business segments to credit-
worthy customers with timely repayment track records. We have developed a data analytics platform, which analyses
customer information and helps us in originating new loan products and to cross-sell our current loan products. We intend
to build on the momentum of cross selling our products and services to our existing customers.
To expand the cross-selling of our partnerships and services, we have engaged dedicated relationship managers who are
assigned a pool of customers. Relationship managers are divided into two segments: those that meet customers in person;
and tele-relationship managers, who engage with the customer over the telephone or via the internet.
We plan to continue to improve our productivity, reduce risks and improve our customer service through the use of
technology and analytics. We have a ‘centre of excellence in analytics’, where we have developed tools for marketing
analytics, pricing analytics, service analytics, risk analytics, fraud analytics and collections analytics. Through marketing
and pricing analytics, we have built the ability to accurately segment our customers and to generate a pre-approved credit
limit for a particular customer, assisting us in cross selling our products, and providing personalised customer service.
Analytics has also enabled us to create statistical models for assessing behavioural and fraud risk over a customer’s life
cycle, which further assists in lowering risk and increasing collection efficiency.
In order to keep a constant vigil over our costs, we have a dedicated management team, which reviews and re-engineers
our processes periodically to make our operations more efficient. We also conduct periodic reviews of major expenditures
to find methods to reduce the same. We believe that these initiatives enable us to minimise our costs.
We believe a key to our success will be our ability to maintain a healthy mix of experienced and young professionals. We
have been successful in building a team of skilled and talented professionals with relevant experience, including experts
in credit evaluation, risk management, retail consumer products, asset and wealth management, actuarial sciences, capital
markets, treasury, technology and marketing. Recruitment is a key management activity and we intend to attract graduates
from premier Indian business schools as well as employees with relevant experience. We also focus on employee retention
and utilise various programs to motivate employees and maintain employee satisfaction including employee stock option
incentives, adequate vacation days, maternity/ paternity leave and sabbaticals for long-term employees.
Brief highlights of our diversified businesses including their business performance are as under:
Credit Business
Credit business of the group is a mix of diversified and scalable businesses. It consists of retail credit and corporate credit.
The retail credit segment offers mortgages including home finance, retail construction finance and loan against property,
SME finance, rural finance. Corporate credit business offers products like cash flow-based loans and structured
collateralized credit to corporates and real estate finance to developers.
Retail Credit Business (Edelweiss Retail Finance Limited and Edelweiss Housing Finance Limited.)
Our retail credit businesses are conducted under our subsidiary Edelweiss Retail Finance Limited (“ERFL”), an NBFC
and Edelweiss Housing Finance Limited (“EHFL”), an HFC, catering to a wide spectrum of individuals, high-net worth
individuals (“HNI”) and affluent clientele, as well as lower income urban and rural customers (collectively, our “Retail
Credit” business) and offers the following products:
Retail Mortgage
Edelweiss launched retail credit business in 2011 by offering housing loans and diversified later by including loans against
property and residential projects construction finance. Housing loans, construction finance and LAP portfolio has grown
to ₹ 31,448.70 million as on March 31, 2022 from commencement of operations in the Fiscal 2011, supported by higher
government support, lower interest rates and easing inflation. Also, rising urbanisation, nuclearization of families and an
increase in the number of affordable-housing projects led to faster loan growth.
124
Our mortgages business caters to retail homebuyers and small business owners/self-employed clients. We provide a wide
variety of products including housing finance, small ticket and affordable housing loans, loans against property and
construction finance. While we initially launched this business in major metropolitan areas/ tier 1 cities, our focus is now
on building the small ticket or affordable home loans in tier 2 and 3 cities. We focus on home loans through developer
tie-ups and participating in affordable housing programs. With our increased eligibility to obtain refinance from the
National Housing Board at a reduced borrowing cost, we seek to grow this business with increasing profitability.
Additionally, once the Retail Mortgages book achieved the desired level of seasoning, we have been able to initiate
securitisation of home and SME loans as a part of our strategy for mobilisation of resources from alternate sources to free
up equity capital for further growth as well as to optimise the yields on such loans. The collateral for Retail Mortgage
products is a pledge of residential or commercial property.
Retail mortgage finance business was present in around 98 locations and served a loan book of ₹ 31,448.70 million as on
March 31, 2022, catering to around 21,000 clients and around 96 locations and served a loan book of ₹ 36,441.11 million
as of March 31, 2021. The loan to value ratio in its home loans and LAP portfolio remained at a comfortable level.
SME finance business is our key focus areas in retail credit and caters to the underserved and highly scalable market.
Among our products for SMEs, we offer secured and unsecured business loans to them. We believe that the SME sector
has significant unmet demand that is not currently adequately serviced by banks and financial institutions and NBFCs are
increasing their penetration of this sector. The collateral for secured SME loans is typically a pledge of residential or
commercial property.
SME business operated in approximately 110 locations and had a book of ₹ 9,603.61 million as at March 31, 2022,
including other Business Loans, catering to around 9,300 clients. It has a loan book of ₹7,822.34 million as of June 30,
2022.
Our SME business has been recognised and awarded: Successful Use of Technology in Customer Service (Gold)
Edelweiss Smart Desk – Edelweiss SME Lending at 9th ACEF Global Customer Engagement Awards 2020.
Rural Finance
Rural finance comprises unsecured loans given to rural population in the nature of micro finance through our channel
partners and had a book of ₹415.33 million, ₹418.00 million and ₹ 815.08 million as on June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022
and March 31, 2021, respectively.
We seek to increase the size of our retail credit book while exploring capital light / partnership model to leverage the
network and grow the loan book in a balanced risk efficient manner. We also emphasise prudent financing criteria, strong
risk management and a conservative collateral coverage ratio in order to achieve a low rate of Gross NPA and Net NPA
in our retail credit business. We believe that the Government’s initiatives to increase digitisation of public services will
result in increased financial inclusion and home ownership among the Indian population and are supportive of our Credit
business and we consistently seek to leverage technology to improve consumer access and increase retail use of our credit
products and services.

Total retail credit for the group accounted for ₹47,756.71 million which is 45.60% of the gross loan book compared to

Our corporate credit business is primarily conducted in our major NBFC subsidiary ECL Finance Limited (ECLF) and
mainly comprises of wholesale mortgages and structured collateralised credit products which are focused largely on the
real estate development and corporate sector (together, our “Corporate Credit” business).
• Wholesale Mortgage – Our wholesale mortgage credit book comprises loans granted against real estate collateral
backed by cash flows from real estate projects, principally for residential housing projects, to meet short-term and
medium-term requirements. The tenure of the loans is generally up to five years. Our risk management maintains a
focus on liquidity and price risk, as well as approval and execution risk.
• Structured Collateralized Credit – Structured collateralised credit book comprises loans against liquid market
securities and other collaterals which are principally offered to corporates. In certain cases, immoveable property
may also be used as collateral. These loans also include bridge financing or other short-term loans. The tenure of
the loans is generally up to three years. The funds raised are to be utilised for the working capital requirement of the
corporates, expansion and diversification of business among other uses.
In addition to ERFL and EHFL, some retail loans (SME, LAP and ESOP & Margin Funding) are also booked in ECL
Finance Limited.
ECL Finance Limited’s Gross Loans/ Gross Loan Book was ₹ 56,910.34 million, ₹ 86,342.50 million and ₹ 136,317.20
million as at March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021, and March 31, 2020, respectively. Our Gross Stage 3 loans were 2.84% ,
7.23%, and 3.76% of our gross advances as at March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021, and March 31, 2020, respectively. Our
Net Stage 3 Loans % were 2.00%, 6.40%, and 3.27% of our gross advances as at March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021 at
March 31, 2020 respectively.
We seek to maintain an average collateral value ratio in excess of two times the loan amount at the time of origination
and maintain focus on asset quality and controlling underwriting costs. We believe that, as a result of our prudent risk
management and strict underwriting policies, we have been able to manage the quality of collateral assets securing our
corporate credit loans. Even when a loan is required to be classified as an NPA, we continue to hold a significant amount
of collateral against such loans. We have also observed in the past that over-collateralisation acts as a disincentive for the
borrower to default.
As a matter of policy, we avoid concentration in the corporate credit book by having appropriate limits on exposure to a
single borrower or a group or a sector or particular scrip taken as collateral etc. The single borrower and group borrower
lending limits (SBL/GBL) are in place as per the RBI directives for NBFCs. Industry. Sector/scrip-wise exposures are
also monitored to ensure that we do not build up any concentration.
While the above business narrative applied to the existing corporate credit book, we have now embarked upon a new
strategy for our corporate credit book wherein we will focus on a capital light model by collaborating with Banks (Co-
lending, on-lending, co-origination and securitisation model) and/or adopt Alternate Investment Funds model to run our
wholesale credit business. We will also resort to continued sell-down which will release equity, generate liquidity and
reduce debt-equity ratio further. With this, our Equity base will remain robust and capital adequacy will continue to be
high.
We seek to manage risk in our Credit business through the 3 ‘C’s framework - counterparty, collateral and cash flow.
• Counterparty – We focus on the borrower’s track record, relationship with our group, and ability to execute the
project. We also analyse the borrower group’s financial standing, assets and liabilities and cash flow and liquidity,
and conduct a credit history and regulatory checks.
• Collateral – We determine whether it is a hybrid collateral pool or a ring-fenced structure and analyse ease of
enforcement. We conduct a valuation based on both economic value and liquidity. We conduct an environmental
analysis and follow-up with periodical post-disbursement monitoring.
• Cash flow – We analyse the fundamentals of the borrower’s business performance and the collateral assets. We stress
test cash flow analysis assuming both periodic and event-based scenarios. We employ escrow arrangements to ring-
126
fence and control project cash flows wherever appropriate.
Our loan offerings cater to a broad cross-section of clients ranging from corporates to SMEs to individuals including rural
population. The lending policies that we have in place are aimed at ensuring that risk management remains our focus and
our loan portfolio remains of a high quality. We also maintain prudent provisioning and write-off policies in respect of
our NPAs in line with regulatory requirements.
Lending Policies
Our lending products and policies are aligned to the specific needs of diverse categories of clients. To ensure this, each
of our business segments maintains its own internal credit policies and approval processes, which are in line with our
established risk evaluation criteria.
Credit Processes
We believe our business processes ensure complete independence of functions and a segregation of responsibilities. We
believe our credit appraisal and credit control processes, centralised operations unit, independent audit unit for checking
compliance with the prescribed policies and approving loans at transaction level as well as our risk management processes
and policies allow layers of multiple checks and verifications. These legal and technical verifications include collateral
valuation, title search, document verification, fraud and KYC verifications, personal meetings with clients and audit
before the disbursement of loans. Furthermore, our processes have been standardised with the objective of providing high
quality of service and ensuring efficiency. This is achieved by facilitating the integration of our workforce, processes and
technology. Our key business processes are regularly monitored by the respective business or operations head. Our loan
approval and administration procedures, collection and enforcement procedures are designed to minimise delinquencies
and maximise recoveries.
We believe that we have the necessary internal controls and risk management systems to assess and monitor risks across
various business lines. The risk management systems function through an independent department concerning accounts
and operations and a dedicated centralised risk management team. We seek to monitor and control risk exposure through
a variety of separate but complementary financial, credit and operational reporting systems.
Our Credit business is subject to the CRAR requirements as prescribed by the RBI or NHB, as applicable. We are
currently required to maintain in respect of our NBFCs a minimum of 15.00% as prescribed under the Prudential norms
of the RBI based on our total capital to risk weighted assets. We are currently also required to maintain in respect of our
HFC a minimum of 14.00% by March 31, 2021 as prescribed under the Prudential Norms of the NHB based on our total
capital to risk weighted assets. As part of our governance policy, we maintain capital adequacy higher than the statutorily
prescribed CRAR.
The table below sets out our CRAR for our key NBFC subsidiaries/HFC engaged in the credit business, which is
computed on the basis of the applicable RBI/NHB requirements, as at the dates indicated:

respectively.
Our asset reconstruction business, managed through Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Limited (EARC), seeks
out distressed assets and businesses and combines our financial turnaround expertise with our ability to provide working
capital through bridge loans and priority funding to streamline business operations and improve profitability. We believe
we have created an expert advisory board of leaders from across sectors like steel, power and infrastructure to help us
implement best practices in our portfolio companies. We employ a combination of resolution strategies to distressed
assets that can be broadly categorised as follows:
• Revival – since we target investment in potentially viable companies, revival and business turnaround is amongst the
foremost business strategy that we utilise.
• Negotiated Settlement – we utilise this strategy by employing an independent view on achievable return to seek quick
and amicable resolution of assets with limited effort.
• Enforcement – where revival has failed and negotiations for settlement are inconclusive, we utilise the benefits
available under SARFAESI Act and other statutes to enforce secured assets in an ethical and structured manner as
prescribed in the Act.
We target investment in distressed assets with clear potential for business revival and having focused and dedicated
promoters of high integrity and/or potential for asset sale. We also target investments in distressed assets that do not have
any material barriers for legal enforcement.
Our assets under management in the asset reconstruction business were approximately ₹ 389 billion, ₹ 403 billion, ₹ 408
billion, and ₹ 432 billion as at June 30, 2022 and as at March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively placing
EARC as one of the largest ARC in India. EARC has partnered with over multiple banks/NBFCs backed by our expertise
on resolution of stressed assets. EARC has been able to recover more than ₹ 69 billion in Fiscal 2022 as compared to
more than ₹ 54 billion in Fiscal 2021. Recoveries in the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, have been ₹ 17.4 billion.
128
Total recoveries during four years covering Fiscal 2019 to Fiscal 2022 have been approximately ₹ 306 billion. The
recovery scenario got a major boost during Fiscal 2020 with the successful resolution of several large accounts under
IBC.
Insurance Business
Edelweiss expanded its addressable retail markets by launching life insurance business during 2011. We completed our
insurance offering by entering general insurance business in Fiscal 2018.
Our Life Insurance business has also expanded its distribution footprint across India and had approximately 109 branches
in around 88 cities as on June 30, 2022.
We entered the life Insurance business in 2011 through a joint venture between Edelweiss Financial Services and Japan’s
Tokio Marine Holdings Inc. Edelweiss holds 65.72% equity in the Company and Tokio Marine holds the rest. We believe
partnership with an insurance giant like Tokio Marine has given the Company access to best global practices and brought
our processes on par with leaders in insurance across the world.
The Company operates under a life insurance license issued by IRDAI. It had a paid-up capital and security premium of
₹ 23,774.69 million and had approximately 3,48,000 unique policy holders as on March 31, 2022. It issued approximately
65,548 individual policies by end of March 31, 2022. The Company had a distribution presence through its 109 branches
and 63,484 personal financial advisors (PFAs) as on March 31, 2022.
The Gross Premium income in Fiscal 2022 was ₹ 14.57 billion compared to ₹ 12.24 billion in the previous year, a growth
of about 19.04%. The collected Individual Annualised Premium Equivalent (APE) increased by 4% to ₹ 4.20 billion in
FY22 and the CAGR since FY17 is 21% compared to 10% recorded by the industry. The Total assets under management
in Fiscal 2022 was ₹ 54.90 billion compared to ₹ 42.20 billion in the previous year, a growth of about 30%. The overall
13th month persistency is at 72% in Fiscal 2022 and Individual Claims Settlement Ratio is at 98% in Fiscal 2022
compared to 97% in Fiscal 2021. The Embedded Value of the business, calculated on market consistent basis, stands at
₹ 15.74 billion as on March 31, 2022.
The Company’s Solvency Ratio – calculated on the basis of IRDAI norms applicable to insurance companies – was 211%
as on March 31, 2022. As on Mar 31, 2021, the Company had a solvency ratio of 215% and as on Mar 31, 2020 at 232%,
consistently maintaining it well above the required 150%.
Life insurance companies, typically, have a long gestation period. Given our life insurance business is a little over 10
years old, it is yet to break even. The Loss After Tax after minority interest for Edelweiss Tokio Life business flowing
through our consolidated profit and loss statement was ₹ 1,111.50 million, ₹1,054.22 million, and ₹ 1,392.36 million for
the Fiscals 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
We believe that a younger demographic, a rising life expectancy, and an absence of effective social security coverage
create a strong case for the longer-term growth potential of insurance products in India. To realise on this long-term
potential, we continue to invest to increase the scale of our Life Insurance business.
Edelweiss Tokio Life is focused on differentiating itself by being customer centric and enhancing customer experience
driven by technology. It follows a prioritized need-based sales methodology that puts the customer at the centre of solution
design and business processes. The customer centric approach of the business translates into product design, building
customer-oriented internal systems and processes and sales and service approach, which enables us to build long lasting
relationships.
Edelweiss Tokio Life has consistently been recognized by industry forums for its diverse capabilities, as is evident from
the following accolades:
• ‘Best Life Insurer’ & ‘Best Product Innovation’ titles received in April’21 at the BFSI Excellence Awards 2021

at the insurance alerts awards.
Continuing its path of innovation, the company has focused primarily on Protection and Savings segments and launched
Total Protect Plus, a term insurance solution along with two income products – Premier Guaranteed Income (PGI), and
Guaranteed Income Star (GIS) plans which focused on benefits of income planning and longer-term retirement planning.
General Insurance Business
Edelweiss strengthened its retail foray and increased the breadth of solutions offered to customers, both corporate and
individual, with the launch of general insurance business in February 2018 through its 100% owned subsidiary Edelweiss
General Insurance Company Limited (EGICL).
It focuses on bringing out new and innovative solutions for its clients. Further, there is impetus on investing in ecosystem
partnerships and leveraging technology to deliver superlative customer experience.
EGICL had paid up capital and reserves of ₹ 1,349 million and had approximately 3,01,890 unique policy holders as at
March 31, 2022. EGICL had issued approximately 2,96,819 policies in the financial year 2022. EGICL operates through
approximately nine offices as at March 31, 2022.
The company generated Gross Written Premium (“GWP”) of ₹3,610 million, ₹ 2,264 million, and ₹ 1,586 million for the

167%, 209%, and 236% as on March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021, and March 31, 2020 respectively.
We believe that we have developed strong capabilities to build the scale of our business in the financial services and
general insurance markets, and that these capabilities can be leveraged to build the scale of our business in the general
insurance market.
General Insurance covers multiple product categories and the key risks relate to parametric risks wherein we price our
insurance products based on various assumptions and estimates relating to, among other factors, benefits, claim frequency
and claim severity etc.
We remain committed to operational excellence and nuanced underwriting. We are proud to have won top awards for our
product innovation and technology adoption efforts given by eminent industry consortiums and platforms. We have won
multiple awards for an innovative product like Edelweiss Switch and other technology initiatives undertaken.

Our wealth management business comprises of wealth advisory services, broking services, ESOP and margin funding,
capital markets business, financial products distribution and advisory services for our ultra-high net worth individuals
(“UHNI”), HNIs, affluent clients and corporate as well as institutional clients and is conducted through our Associate
companies.
The wealth management business is driven by growing affluence in India and a customer shift from bank savings to other
financial instruments. At the same time, the UHNIs and affluent clients are increasingly looking at sophisticated
investment strategies and turning towards more personalised and focused investment advisory services in their quest for
higher yields. This is creating immense opportunities for wealth management industry. Our Assets Under Advice
(“AUA”) in our wealth management business were approximately ₹1,960 billion, ₹ 2,020 billion and ₹ 1,550 billion as
130
at June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We have revised the method of computation of AUA from
March 31, 2020, onwards. EWM Business had approximately 9,24,800 and 8,53,700 number of affluent clients as at
June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 respectively.
Our wealth management business experiences growth in AUA through organic growth by acquiring new clients and
enhanced investments from existing clients. In addition, the market-linked nature of the business can also increase (or
decrease) AUA with the rise (or fall) of the markets. Increasing affluence and disposable income, increased interest in
shifting from bank deposits to other financial instruments and a strong aspiring middle class are positive factors helping
the Indian wealth management space.
As one of India’s fastest growing wealth managers, we rank second amongst the Indian wealth management businesses
excluding banks (Source: Asian Private Banker League Tables as on Fiscal 2020)

This business has recently won “The Asset Triple A Infrastructure Award 2020 - Utility M&A deal of the Year” for
Sterlite Power’s sale of controlling stake in India Grid Trust to KKR and GIC.
Our institutional brokerage services businesses in India are backed by a large and experienced research team and a large
and diversified client base. We have focused on service, seamless execution and innovative research products to build
strong relationships with approximately 700 institutional investors, including domestic and foreign institutional investors.
We also provide broad access to Indian corporates via annual investor conferences in different locations around the world

the quality and calibre of research associated with Edelweiss is widely regarded across the institutional investor
community.
Our prime brokerage and custodial services business provide custodial services to institutional clients our clients range
from private to public sector and mid-cap to large-cap corporates across a wide range of industries.
Liability Management
We focus on meeting our funding requirements and managing short-term surpluses in a manner similar to that of a treasury
of commercial banks. As a part of this process, we track daily cash flows and expected cash flows for near and medium
term. We ensure maintenance of liquidity at groupand entity level and its investment across different asset classes. Our
sources of funding comprise credit facilities by way of term loans from banks, cash credits from banks, redeemable non-
convertible debentures and money market borrowings. We raise funds from diversified sources and through a wide range
of instruments in order to reduce our funding cost and maintain a large lender base. This assists us to raise resources at
competitive rates, protect interest margins and maintain a diversified funding portfolio designed to achieve funding
stability and liquidity. We believe that through our liability management operations, we maintain our ability to repay
borrowings as they mature and obtain new loans at competitive rates. We seek to manage and maintain an optimum level
of liquidity and comply with the prudent requirements of asset liability management. The objective is to obtain smooth
functioning of all our operations and to avoid the holding of excessive cash. We maintain a balance between interest
earning liquid assets and cash to optimise earnings. We actively manage our cash and funds flow by using various cash
management services provided by banks. We also invest temporary surplus funds with liquid debt based mutual funds.
Our investments are made in accordance with the investment policy approved by the Board. These responsibilities are
now devolved at entity level to ensure compliance and efficiency.
Our business requires significant working capital and, accordingly, our day-to-day liquidity management is a critical
function. We manage our liquidity and balance sheet to ensure that maturing liabilities are repaid smoothly. We also
132
manage key components of balance sheet, monitor interest rate sensitivity in our portfolio and take pre-emptive steps to
mitigate any potential liquidity risks and interest rate risks. We ensure that we maintain an adequate liquidity cushion to
meet short-term obligations while continuing to meet long-term obligations as a going concern. As at March 31, 2022
our available liquidity, which includes unencumbered government bonds, mutual fund investments, bank fixed deposits,
unutilised overdraft lines, sanctioned term loans from banks, Exchange margin, and other high quality liquid assets which
can be converted into cash in a short period of time if needed, was approximately ₹ 55 billion which was ~23% of our
borrowings on that day.
Our Asset Liability Management (the “ALM”)/Available Liquidity statement is prepared on a monthly basis to track our
inflows and outflows. The ALM statement is placed before the asset liability management committee periodically. Since
we have a mixed lending portfolio comprising short-term and long-term loans, we make efforts to match the maturity of
liabilities with the maturity of assets. We structure the treasury assets to maintain sufficient liquidity, address the capital
needs of the business and manage interest rate risks. We focus on enterprise-wide risk management to ensure optimum
returns and capital preservation. These responsibilities are devolved at entity level to ensure compliance and efficiency.
We also seek to continue to reduce dependence on short-term money market borrowings, diversify our sources of
borrowings and increase the proportion of our medium to long term borrowings.
Ever since the collapse of a AAA rated entity in September 2018, the NBFC industry is facing tight liquidity and a credit
crunch. The situation has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have accordingly enhanced monitoring of
our available liquidity and also continue to work on various sources to raise fresh funds.
Besides maintaining a liquid balance sheet, we continue to reduce dependence on market borrowings, diversify sources
of borrowings, diversify the type of instruments through which we borrow and increase liabilities in the medium to long
term buckets. We have reduced dependence on CP borrowings to 8% of borrowings with the borrowings from NCDs and
bank finance accounting for 92% of total adjusted borrowings at the end of Fiscal 2022. The proportion of funding from

Credit Ratings for Edelweiss Financial Services Limited as on the date of Tranche II Prospectus:
From advisory and investment banking services, we have grown by strategically focusing on synergistic diversification
in complementary businesses, client segments, asset classes and geographies. Our strong focus on diversification has
helped our group grow from being an investment banking advisory house into a credit and financial services institution.
We believe that knowledge, research and innovation have been the key drivers of our growth. We constantly pursue
innovation, explore complementary businesses and invest in new business models. The core thinking that underlines each
of our business decisions is to provide long-term value creation by building sustainable businesses while focusing on risk.
We believe that, over the years, we have demonstrated the ability to reinvent ourselves in response to evolving economic
and business cycles. We believe that the element of adaptability and flexibility ensures our businesses identify
opportunities, deal with dynamic economic situations and are equipped to leverage knowledge, experience and
professionalism in dealing with new prospects.
As a diversified financial services company, we believe that we cater to all segments of society, as distinguished from
largely mono-line financial services companies that are focused on one or two asset classes and narrowly defined
customer segments, resulting to greater exposure to market cycles. Our businesses include retail credit, corporate credit,
wealth management, asset management, asset reconstruction and insurance. While our Credit businesses, currently facing
environmental headwinds, have provided us the steady growth and scalability in the past, we believe that our Advisory
business help us to stay competitive. We also believe that our Insurance business is a long-term opportunity to create a
stable source of growth.
Over the years, a key question that we have faced is what it takes to build a sustainable business. Having engaged in
trying to build sustainable and quality businesses over the last 25 years, we now believe that building a business involves
the management of four key vectors:
• Customers – Customer experience is a key component of the long-term growth of our business. Our brand building
mission has been intensified by digitalisation and easy access of customers to our products. We have also increasingly
enhanced our focus on customers with three new guiding principles added to our original list of ten, each of them
138
focusing on customers.
• People – We believe that our people are critical to the mission of our group and human capital sets apart good
companies from great companies. We believe that we have been fortunate to work with people who have not only
proved to be valuable assets in driving our business and enterprise functions but equally adept at helping extend our
core focus on people management to their own leadership teams.
• Risk – Managing risk and treading carefully is central to our mission and risk management has been a core focus
since our inception for the growth of our business. By embedding risk management into the culture of the
organisation, we have tried to ensure that the first line of defence starts with each individual and pervades throughout
our organisation.
• Cost – Managing costs is not about cutting costs, but about calibrating costs to ensure that necessary balance between
current and future spending and investment. We seek to continue invest in businesses and opportunities in order to
build the scale of our credit, wealth and asset management and insurance businesses.
We seek to support our management with these four key vectors along with a high degree of technological penetration
throughout our business operations.
Risk management
Our diversified financial services business activities are exposed to various risks that are either inherent to the business
or have their genesis in changes in the macro-economic environment. The good risk management practices of the
grouphave facilitated navigating through environmentally turbulent times. Respect for risk is an integral part of business
at Edelweiss. The good risk management practices of the Group have facilitated navigating through environmentally
turbulent times. Our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework has helped us strategically benchmark our practices
across different business lines to the desired levels.
We have also put in place an in-house “Eleven-risk framework” as under to formalize the process of assess, avoid, manage
and mitigate risks across business verticals in a continuous manner.
139
Risk Vector Description
Reputation Risk Risk arising from negative perception about the organization on the part of stakeholders
Technology Risk of loss due to technology failures such as information security incidents or service outrages
Risk
Physical & Risk of loss and people safety due to disruption of basic services/infra due to natural or manmade
Infra Risk events
People Risk Risk of not having the right people with the right skills/competencies at the right time to achieve
business goals
A number of new initiatives have been taken in these eleven risk areas. For Regulatory risk, introduction of analytics to
identify early warning signs has facilitated in effective implementation of pro-active mitigant measures along with
compliance training programs to employees on policies and framework. For Operational & Process risk, all businesses
have identified its critical as well as non-critical processes and thorough review of the standard operating procedures
(SOPs) for all the critical processes. For Credit risk, a comprehensive framework for asset quality review was put in place
in Fiscal 2019 and the recalibration of the expected credit loss (ECL) model has been concluded during Fiscal 2020.
Reputational risk has been factored in all business strategies and it is managed with effective crisis management approach
and timely transparent response to all stakeholders. For Technology risk, significant progress has been made on IT
security front to manage the risk emanating from the changing ecosystem.
The elaborate risk governance structure at Edelweiss includes Risk Committee of the Board of the listed company. In
addition, key subsidiaries also have risk committee of their respective boards. At individual business level we have
Investment Committees and Business Risk Groups to Access, Avoid, Manage and Mitigate various risks.
Since the last year, the whole world has faced a tail risk event of COVID-19 pandemic. Coupled with national lockdown,
this event necessitated unique approaches to mitigate different types of risk. Our advance preparation along with
technology enablement in utmost agility ensured almost all our critical staff could work from home seamlessly for
business continuity and serving customer deliverables. We are using all our learnings from the pandemic to manage
various types of emerging and newer risks in our businesses.
Our diversified businesses give us the opportunity to leverage parallel growth opportunities, while at the same time
providing significant risk mitigation through reallocation of resources to address the prevailing economic environment.
We have developed our business model over several years to reach a level of diversification where our profits are
distributed across business segments thereby increasing the stability and sustainability in our operations.
Edelweiss was recognised for the Best risk technology implementation of the year at the CRO Leadership Awards in
February 2020.
Human Resources
Employee Inclusion and Diversity are an important element at the heart of Edelweiss. As at June 30, 2022, approximately
25% of our employees are women out of a total of approximately 5,833 employees excluding EWM employees.
We reinforce tenets that enable employees with different backgrounds, gender, ways to thinking, style of operating to
work effectively together and holistically play to their strengths. A significant component of our value-based culture is
commitment to acknowledge and appreciate efforts of employees through extensive recognition programs.
We believe our human capital is one of our most important strengths and a key driver of growth, efficiency and
productivity. We invest in developing our talent and leadership through various initiatives aimed at strengthening the
ability of our managers to bring together people, strategies, and execution to drive business results. We also have a
leadership programme with the objective of multiplying leadership capability, developing internal leaders and ensuring
seamless execution of our future growth. As at June 30, 2022, approximately 5% of our employees are in our centralised
three-tiered leadership pool, comprising of Management Committee members, senior leaders and business leaders, each
of whom undergo a structured engagement, communication and development programme during their membership period
in the leadership pool. The tenure of the current batch of Emerging Leaders is over and its continuation is under review.
We believe that corporate social responsibility program (“CSR”) is an important foundation of our business reputation.
Our CSR is carried out through our philanthropic arm, the EdelGive Foundation (“EdelGive”). EdelGive’ s mission is to
140
leverage our resources with a view to empower social entrepreneurs and organisations towards achieving systemic
change. EdelGive seeks to build a strong, efficient and high impact social sector by being the bridge between the users
and providers of philanthropic capital and knowledge, by catalysing the exchange of ideas, skills, talents and resources
among civil society, philanthropists, businesses and government.
Through EdelGive, we financially support, and also review and manage, our portfolio of non-profits and social
entrepreneurs. We also provide philanthropists with investment advice customised for the non-profit sector, as well as
analyses of outcomes of philanthropic investments and monitoring of individual programme milestones and broader
social impact.
EdelGive follows a research-based approach while sourcing credible non-profits. Investment decisions are based on
thorough due diligence of target beneficiary needs, aspects of sustainability and programme impact analysis. EdelGive’s
objective is to select the best grantees as well as focusing on organizations that are addressing the most urgent and
overlooked problems. EdelGive also attempts to signal other funders by taking the additional step of educating and
attracting donors, especially those lacking expertise in the area, thus effectively improving or magnifying the return on a
larger pool of philanthropic resources. EdelGive also endeavours to improve the performance of grant recipients by
moving from the role of capital provider to fully engaged partner, thereby improving the grantee’s effectiveness as an
organization.
EdelGive’s programme areas include social and economic empowerment of women (freedom from violence, access to
legal justice, grassroots leadership, access to rights and entitlements and freedom from economic dependence), access to
quality education (early childhood education, school transformation, and innovation and experimentation), and building
resilient livelihoods (water for livelihood, skill and institution building, employability skill building and financial
Inclusion - programmes that focus on the delivery of financial services at affordable costs to sections of disadvantaged
and low-income segments of society).
Edelweiss group has been recognized for excellence in CSR, through EdelGive Foundation, by the National CSR Award
given by the Hon’ble President of India, Shri Ram Nath Kovind on October 29, 2019. It was also recognised for “CSR
Initiative of the Year – India” for Organ Donation at the 6th Insurance Asia Awards in August 2021. Similarly, it was also
felicitated by Times of India in September 2021 for Organ Donation.
Outsourcing
We enter into outsourcing arrangements for non-essential functions with third party vendors for a number of our
businesses and services required by us. These vendors provide services, which include, among others, software services,
client sourcing, and call centre services. We conduct due diligence before finalising such outsourcing arrangements. We
adhere to outsourcing guidelines prescribed by various regulators.
ETLI complies with the IRDAI (Outsourcing of Activities by Indian Insurers) Regulations, 2017 published on May 5,

Insurance Coverage
We maintain a number of insurance policies to cover the different risks involved in the operation of our business. We
maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability policy to cover certain liabilities that may be imposed on our directors and
officers. We believe that our insurance coverage is appropriate and adequate for our operations. We have insurance
policies covering, among others, electronic equipment, burglary, standard fire and special peril and machinery
breakdown, and comprehensive general liability insurance.
Competition
Our competitors include established Indian and foreign commercial banks, NBFCs, HFCs, small finance banks,
microfinance companies and the private unorganised and informal financiers, as well as insurance companies and
advisory businesses, who principally operate in the local market. In particular, many of our competitors may have
operational advantages in terms of access to cost-effective sources of funding and in implementing new technologies and
rationalising related operational costs.

March 2021 and 31 March 2020 and Reformatted Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss and the
Reformatted Statement of Cash Flows and Reformatted Standalone Statement of change in equity and
the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and explanatory notes for the year ended 31 March 2022,
31 March 2021 and 31 March 2020 ( together referred as "Reformatted standalone financial information"
have been extracted by the Management from the Audited Financial Statements of the Company for the
year ended 31 March 2022,31 March 2021 and 31 March 2020 ("Audited Financial Statements")
The Reformatted standalone financial information has been prepared by the management in connection
with the proposed listing of secured redeemable non-convertible debentures of the Company with BSE
Limited (‘the stock exchange’), in accordance with the requirements of:
b) Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue and Listing of Non Convertible Securities) Regulations,
2021(‘the Regulations’) issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India ("SEBI"), as amended from
time to time in pursuance of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 (the “SEBI Act”).
Th reformatted standalone financial information of the Company has been prepared in accordance with
Indian Accounting Standards (IndAS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,
2015(as amended from time to time). These Reformatted standalone financial information have been
approved for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on 22 September 2022.
This reformatted standalone financial information has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for
derivative financial instruments and other financial assets held for trading, which have been measured at
fair value. The reformatted standalone financial information is presented in Indian Rupees (INR) and all
values are rounded to the nearest million, except when otherwise indicated.
The Company presents its reformatted standalone statement of assets and liabilities in order of liquidity
in compliance with the Division III of the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. An analysis regarding
recovery or settlement within 12 months after the reporting date (current) and more than 12 months
after the reporting date (noncurrent) is presented in Note no.43.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are generally reported gross in the balance sheet. They are only
offset and reported net when, in addition to having an unconditional legally enforceable right to offset
the recognised amounts without being contingent on a future event, the parties also intend to settle on a
net basis in all of the following circumstances:

Notes to the Reformatted Standalone Financial information (Continued)
Financial assets and financial liabilities, with the exception of borrowings, loans and debt securities 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. The Company recognises borrowings when funds reach the Company.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than
financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from
the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.
Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair
value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The Company classifies all its financial assets based on the business model for managing the assets and
the asset’s contractual terms, measured at either:
F - 11
Edelweiss Financial Services Limited
Notes to the Reformatted Standalone Financial information (Continued)
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of
allocating interest income over the relevant period.
For financial instruments the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future
cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective
interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit losses,
through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross
carrying amount of the debt instrument on initial recognition.
The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial
recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest
method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss
allowance. On the other hand, the gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a
financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.
The Company classifies financial assets as held for trading when they have been purchased or issued
primarily for short-term profit making through trading activities or form part of a portfolio of financial
instruments that are managed together, for which there is evidence of a recent pattern of short-term
profit is taking. Held-for-trading assets are recorded and measured in the balance sheet at fair value.
The Company measures all equity investments at fair value through profit or loss except, for Investment
in subsidiaries and associates are recognised at cost, subject to impairment if any at the end of each
reporting period. Cost of investment represents amount paid for acquisition of the investment.
All financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost except for financial guarantees, and derivative
financial liabilities.
After initial measurement, debt issued, and other borrowed funds are subsequently measured at
amortised cost. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on issue
funds, and costs that are an integral part of the EIR.
1.4.2.2 Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets and financial liabilities in this category are those that are not held for trading and have
been either designated by management upon initial recognition or are mandatorily required to be
measured at fair value under Ind AS 109. Management only designates an instrument at FVTPL upon initial
recognition when one of the following criteria are met. Such designation is determined on an instrument-
by-instrument basis:
• The designation eliminates, or significantly reduces, the inconsistent treatment that would
otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognising gains or losses on them on
a different basis; or
F - 12
Edelweiss Financial Services Limited
Notes to the Reformatted Standalone Financial information (Continued)
• The liabilities are part of a group of financial liabilities, which are managed, and their
performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management
or investment strategy; or
• The liabilities containing one or more embedded derivatives, unless they do not significantly
modify the cash flows that would otherwise be required by the contract, or it is clear with little
or no analysis when a similar instrument is first considered that separation of the embedded
derivative(s) is prohibited.
Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. Changes
in fair value are recorded in profit and loss with the exception of movements in fair value of liabilities
designated at FVTPL due to changes in the Company’s own credit risk. Such changes in fair value are
recorded in the Own credit reserve through OCI and do not get recycled to the profit or loss. Interest
earned or incurred on instruments designated at FVTPL is accrued in interest income or finance cost,
respectively, using the EIR, taking into account any discount/ premium and qualifying transaction costs
being an integral part of instrument. Interest earned on assets mandatorily required to be measured at
FVTPL is recorded using effective interest rate.
Financial guarantees are contract that requires the Company to make specified payments to reimburse to
holder for loss that it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when it is due in
accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee issued or commitments to provide a loan at below market interest rate are initially
measured at fair value and the initial fair value is amortised over the life of the guarantee or the
commitment. Subsequently they are measured at higher of this amortised amount and the amount of
loss allowance.
Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in
accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability
and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after
deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company entity are recognised at the
proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No
gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue, or cancellation of the Company's
own equity instruments.
The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest
rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate
swaps.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value through
profit or loss. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

Edelweiss Financial Services Limited
Notes to the Reformatted Standalone Financial information (Continued)
The Company does not reclassify its financial assets subsequent to their initial recognition, apart from the
exceptional circumstances in which the Company acquires, disposes of, or terminates a business line.
Financial liabilities are never reclassified.
The Company is a sponsor to two trusts namely: (i) Edelweiss Employees' Welfare Trust; and (ii) Edelweiss
Employees' Incentives and Welfare Trust. These trusts have been formed exclusively to provide benefits
to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and associates. These trusts have been treated as an
extension of the Company for the purpose of these financial information. Accordingly, the equity shares
of the Company held by these trusts have been treated as treasury shares. The excess of the cost of such
shares over the face value of shares has been reduced from the securities premium account of the
Company.
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the terms and conditions have been renegotiated to
the extent that, substantially, it becomes a new loan, with the difference recognised as a derecognition
gain or loss, to the extent that an impairment loss has not already been recorded.
If the modification does not result in cash flows that are substantially different, the modification does not
result in derecognition. Based on the change in cash flows discounted at the original EIR, the Company
records a modification gain or loss, to the extent that an impairment loss has not already been recorded.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial
assets) is derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired. The
Company also derecognises the financial asset if it has both transferred the financial asset and the
transfer qualifies for derecognition.
The Company has transferred the financial asset if, and only if, either:
• The Company has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset;
or
• It retains the rights to the cash flows but has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash
flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass–through’ arrangement.
• The Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or
• The Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the
asset, but has transferred control of the asset
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.
F - 14
Edelweiss Financial Services Limited
Notes to the Reformatted Standalone Financial information (Continued)
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, including modified
contractual cash flow recognised as new financial liability, would be recognised in profit or loss.
The Company records allowance for expected credit losses for all amortised cost financial assets and
financial guarantee contracts, in this section all referred to as ‘financial instruments. Equity instruments
are not subject to impairment under Ind AS 109.
The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade
receivables and lease receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company
to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at
each reporting date, right from its initial recognition. The Company uses a provision matrix to determine
impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically
observed default rates over the expected life of the receivables.
For all other financial instruments, the Company recognises lifetime ECL when there has been a
significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on the
financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the
loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses (12m
ECL). The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the
likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition instead of on evidence of a financial asset
being credit-impaired at the reporting date or an actual default occurring.
For financial assets, the expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash
flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the
Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The Company recognises
an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment
to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
Financial assets are written off either partially or in their entirety only when the Company has stopped
pursuing the recovery. If the amount to be written off is greater than the accumulated loss allowance, the
difference is first treated as an addition to the allowance that is then applied against the gross carrying
amount. Any subsequent recoveries are credited to impairment on financial instruments in reformatted
standalone statement of profit and loss.
The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet
date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
F - 15
Edelweiss Financial Services Limited
Notes to the Reformatted Standalone Financial information (Continued)
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement
is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place
either:
• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would
use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best
interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s
ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to
another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Company uses
valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available
to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of
unobservable inputs. In order to show how fair values have been derived, financial instruments are
classified based on a hierarchy of valuation techniques, as summarised below:
• Level 1 financial instruments −Those where the inputs used in the valuation are unadjusted quoted
prices from active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has access to at the
measurement date. The Company considers markets as active only if there are sufficient trading
activities with regards to the volume and liquidity of the identical assets or liabilities and when there
are binding and exercisable price quotes available on the balance sheet date.
• 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.
• Level 3 financial instruments −Those that include one or more unobservable input that is significant
to the measurement as whole. For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial
information on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between
levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. The
Company periodically reviews its valuation techniques including the adopted methodologies and
model calibrations.
Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognized
when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or
service (i.e., an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control
of that asset. When (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, the Company recognizes as revenue
the amount of the transaction price (excluding estimates of variable consideration) that is allocated to
that performance obligation. The Company applies the five-step approach for recognition of revenue:

Advisory/Syndication fees are recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with agreement entered into
with respective investment managers / advisors.
Dividend income is recognized in the reformatted standalone statement of profit or loss on the date that
the Company’s right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits
associated with the dividend will flow to the entity and the amount of dividend can be reliably measured.
This is generally when the Shareholders approve the dividend.
Profit or loss on sale of investments is recognised on trade date basis. Difference between the sale price
and average cost of acquisition is recognized as profit or loss on sale of investments.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax attributable to the equity
shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding for the year.
Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
issue equity shares were exercised or converted during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed
by dividing the net profit after tax attributable to the equity shareholders for the year by weighted
average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and weighted average
number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity
shares.
This reformatted standalone financial information are presented in Indian Rupees which is also the
functional currency of the Company. Transactions in currencies other than Indian Rupees (i.e., foreign
currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end
of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates
prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign
currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-
monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

The Company contributes to a recognised provident fund and national pension scheme which is a defined
contribution scheme. The contributions are accounted for on an accrual basis and recognised in the
reformatted standalone statement of profit and loss.
Gratuity
The Company’s gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. The Company’s net obligation in respect of the
gratuity benefit scheme is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that the employees have
earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods, that benefit is discounted to determine
its present value, and the fair value of any plan assets, if any, is deducted. The present value of the
obligation under such benefit plan is determined based on independent actuarial valuation using the
Projected Unit Credit Method. Benefits in respect of gratuity are funded with an insurance company
approved by Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA).
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding
amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets
(excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised
immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in
the period in which they occur.
Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of:
• The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
• The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The
Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the
consolidated statement of profit and loss:
• Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and
non-routine settlements; and
• Net interest expense or income
Compensated Absences
The eligible employees of the Company are permitted to carry forward certain number of their annual
leave entitlement to subsequent years, subject to a ceiling. The Company recognises the charge in the
reformatted standalone statement of profit and loss and corresponding liability on such non-vesting
accumulated leave entitlement based on a valuation by an independent actuary. The cost of providing
annual leave benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method.
The liability is provided based on the number of days of unutilised leave at each balance sheet date based
on a valuation by an independent actuary.

Notes to the Reformatted Standalone Financial information (Continued)
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees of the Group and others providing similar services
that are granted by the Company are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at
the grant date. These includes Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) which are equity settled share-based
payments.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed over
the vesting period, based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with
a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate
of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original
estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised
estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the Employee Stock Option Plan Reserve and Stock
Appreciation Rights Reserve. In cases where the share options granted vest in installments over the
vesting period, the Company treats each installment as a separate grant, because each installment has a
different vesting period, and hence the fair value of each installment differs.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is accounted as a
capital contribution (deemed investment) to the respective subsidiaries over the vesting period, based on
the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in
equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity
instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised
such that the cumulative capital contribution (deemed investment) is increased so that it reflects the
revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the Employee Stock Option Plan Reserve. In cases
where the share options granted vest in installments over the vesting period, the Company treats each
installment as a separate grant, because each installment has a different vesting period, and hence the
fair value of each installment differs. Whenever, these estimates are expected to get settle between the
subsidiaries and the Company, they are accounted as receivable/payable.
Property plant and equipment is stated at cost excluding the costs of day–to–day servicing, less
accumulated depreciation, and accumulated impairment in value. Changes in the expected useful life are
accounted for by changing the depreciation period or methodology, as appropriate, and treated as
changes in accounting estimates.
Subsequent costs incurred on an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying
amount thereof when those costs meet the recognition criteria as mentioned above. Repairs and
maintenance are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties
under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives. Depreciation is provided on a written
down value basis from the date the asset is ready for its intended use or put to use whichever is earlier.
In respect of assets sold, depreciation is provided up to the date of disposal.
F - 19
Edelweiss Financial Services Limited
Notes to the Reformatted Standalone Financial information (Continued)
As per the requirement of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, the Company has evaluated the useful
lives of the respective property, plant and equipment which are as per the provisions of Part C of the
Schedule II for calculating the depreciation. The estimated useful lives of the property, plant and
equipment are as follows
Vehicles 8 years
Leasehold improvements are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
assets or the period of lease, whichever is shorter.
Amount of those components which have been separately recognised as assets is derecognised at the
time of replacement thereof. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property,
plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying
amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
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.
Intangible assets are recorded at the consideration paid for the acquisition of such assets and are carried
at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Intangibles such as software are amortised
over a period of 3 years based on its estimated useful life.
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be
impaired based on internal/external factors. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the
recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of
cash generating unit which the asset belongs to is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is
reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in
the reformatted standalone statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an
indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is
reassessed, and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of the
depreciable historical cost.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term
deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

Edelweiss Financial Services Limited
Notes to the Reformatted Standalone Financial information (Continued)
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of
a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best
estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period,
taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where the probability of
outflow is considered to be remote, or probable, but a reliable estimate cannot be made, a contingent
liability is disclosed. Given the subjectivity and uncertainty of determining the probability and amount of
losses, the Company takes into account a number of factors including legal advice, the stage of the
matter and historical evidence from similar incidents.
Income tax expense represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.
The current tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before
tax’ as reported in the reformatted standalone statement of profit and loss because of items of income or
expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The
Company’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by
the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities in the reformatted standalone financial information and the corresponding tax bases used in the
computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary
differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary
differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets are also recognised with respect to carry forward of unused tax losses and unused tax
credits (including Minimum Alternative Tax credit) to the extent that it is probable that future taxable
profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.
It is probable that taxable profit will be available against which a deductible temporary difference,
unused tax loss or unused tax credit can be utilised when there are sufficient taxable temporary
differences which are expected to reverse in the period of reversal of deductible temporary difference or
in periods in which a tax loss can be carried forward or back. When this is not the case, deferred tax asset
is recognised to the extent it is probable that:
• the entity will have sufficient taxable profit in the same period as reversal of deductible
temporary difference or periods in which a tax loss can be carried forward or back; or
• tax planning opportunities are available that will create taxable profit in appropriate periods.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or
part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in
which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
F - 21
Edelweiss Financial Services Limited
Notes to the Reformatted Standalone Financial information (Continued)
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow
from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle
the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit
FY 2019-2020
MAT credit asset is recognised where there is convincing evidence that the asset can be realised in future. MAT credit
MAT credit assets are reviewed as at the balance sheet date and written down or written up to reflects the amount
that is reasonably certain to be realised.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred
tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
1.21.4 Business Combination
FY 2019-2020
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Company. The
cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred measured at
acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. At the
acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their
acquisition date fair values. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the
consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests, and any previous
interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. After initial recognition,
goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment
testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the
Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether
other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described above, the management is
required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are
based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that
period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future
periods.
The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that the management
has made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies and that have the most significant
effect on the amounts recognised in the reformatted standalone financial information.
Classification and measurement of financial assets depends on the results of the solely payments for
principal and interest (SPPI) and the business model test. The Company determines the business model at
a level that reflects how Group of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business
objective. This assessment includes judgement reflecting all relevant evidence including how the
F - 22
Edelweiss Financial Services Limited
Notes to the Reformatted Standalone Financial information (Continued)
performance of the assets is evaluated and their performance is measured, the risks that affect the
performance of the assets and how these are managed and how the managers of the assets are
compensated. The Company monitors financial assets measured at amortised cost that are derecognised
prior to their maturity to understand the quantum, the reason for their disposal and whether the reasons
are consistent with the objective of the business for which the asset was held. Monitoring is part of the
Company’s continuous assessment of whether the business model for which the remaining financial
assets are held continues to be appropriate and if it is not appropriate whether there has been a change
in business model and so a prospective change to the classification of those assets.
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation
uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, as described
below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when this
reformatted standalone financial information was prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions
about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that
are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
The Company’s ECL calculations are outputs of models with a number of underlying assumptions
regarding the choice of variable inputs and their interdependencies.
It is Company’s policy to regularly review its models in the context of actual loss experience and adjust
when necessary.

Income for each segment has been specifically identified. Expenditure, assets and liabilities are either specifically identified with individual segments
or have been allocated to segments on a systematic basis.
The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit / loss amounts are
evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
Based on such allocations, segment disclosures relating to revenue, results, assets and liabilities have been prepared.
Secondary Segment
Since the business operations of the Company are primarily concentrated in India, the Company is considered to operate only in the domestic segment
and therefore there is no reportable geographic segment.

The Company has operations in India. Whilst risk is inherent in the Company’s activities, it is managed through an integrated risk management framework, including
ongoing identification, measurement and monitoring, subject to risk limits and other controls. This process of risk management is critical to the Company. The
Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. It is also subject to various operating and business risks.
Risk management strategy:
The strategy at an execution level is supported by -
1. Three tiered risk management structure to manage and oversee risks
2. Board and Executive Level Committees to review and approve risk exposures
3. Risk Management framework to ensure each risk the Company is exposed to is given due importance and managed through a well-defined framework and
guidelines
4. Well-defined Standard Operating Procedures and Product approval framework to ensure risks are mitigated at operational level
5. Adequate segregation of duties to ensure multi-layered checks and balances
6. Exception reporting framework to ensure process and policy deviations are adequately addressed
The Board of Directors are responsible for the overall risk management approach and for approving the risk management strategies and principles.
The Board has appointed the Risk Committee which is responsible for monitoring the overall risk process within the Company and reports to the Audit Committee
The Risk Committee has the overall responsibility for the development of the risk strategy and implementing principles, frameworks, policies and limits.
The Company is responsible for implementing and maintaining risk related procedures to ensure an independent control process is maintained. The Company works
closely with and reports to the Risk Committee, to ensure that procedures are compliant with the overall framework.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss the Company may face due to current/potential inability or unwillingness of a customer or counterparty to meet financial
/contractual obligations. Credit risk also covers the possibility of losses associated with diminution in the credit quality of borrowers or counterparties. The
Company’s lending activities is restricted to only its subsidiaries within the Edelweiss Group, the Company has adopted a policy of dealing with creditworthy
counterparties and obtains sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
Credit risk is measured as the amount that could be lost if a customer or counterparty fails to make repayments. Credit risk is monitored using various internal risk
management measures and within limits approved by the board within a framework of delegated authorities. It is managed through a robust risk control
framework, which outlines clear and consistent policies, principles and guidance for risk managers. Presently Company has credit exposure only to it’s subsidiaries
where adequate control and monitoring is ensured.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk emanates from the possible mismatches due to differences in maturity and repayment profile of assets and liabilities. To avoid such a scenario, the
Company has maintained cash reserves in the form of Fixed Deposits, Cash, Loans which are callable any time at the Company’s discretion, etc. These assets carry
minimal credit risk and can be liquidated. These would be to take care of immediate obligations while continuing to honour commitments as a going concern.
Analysis of financial assets and liabilities by remaining contractual maturities
The table below at note number 44 summarises the maturity profile of the undiscounted cash flows of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as at 31 March.
All OTC derivatives used for hedging are shown by maturity, based on their contractual undiscounted payment obligations. All exchange traded derivatives held for
trading are analysed based on expected maturity.
Market Risk:

foreign exchange rates. The objective of the Company’s market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters.
Foreign exchange risk – Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The
Company’s foreign exposure is limited to investments and loans to Group entities outside India. The Company aggregates the foreign exchange exposure emerging
out of these loans/investments and the same is hedged using OTC and exchange traded derivatives. Positions are regularly monitored by the Company and

The Company’s fair value methodology and the governance over its models includes a number of controls and other procedures to ensure appropriate
safeguards are in place to ensure its quality and adequacy. Where fair values are determined by reference to externally quoted prices or observable pricing
inputs to models, independent price determination or validation is used. For inactive markets, Company sources alternative market information, with greater
weight given to formation that is considered to be more relevant and reliable.
Equity instruments
The equity instruments which are actively traded on recognised stock exchanges are valued at readily available active prices on a regular basis. Such instruments
are classified as Level 1. Equity instruments in non-listed entities are initially measured at transaction price and re-measured at each reporting date at valuation
provided by external valuer at instrument level. Such unlisted equity securities are classified at Level 2.
Derivatives:
The Company enters into certain derivative financial instruments primarily with banks with investment grade credit ratings. Derivatives valued using valuation
techniques with market observable inputs are mainly forward exchange contracts.
Exchange traded derivatives:

classifies these instruments as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

The Company has reviewed the assumptions used and based on current estimates expects the carrying amount of these assets will be recovered. The impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s
reformatted standalone financial information may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these reformatted standalone financial information and the Company will continue
to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak across the world including India has resulted in most countries announcing lockdowns and quarantine measures that have sharply stalled economic
activities across the world. The Indian Government too has imposed lockdowns starting from 24 March 2020. Subsequently, the national lockdown was lifted by the government for certain
activities in a phased manner outside specified containment zones, but regional lockdowns/restrictions continued to be implemented in areas with a significant number of COVID-19 cases.
The Indian economy is impacted and would continue to be impacted by this pandemic and the resultant lockdown, due to the contraction in industrial and services output across small and
large businesses. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the current “second wave” on Company’s results, including gain/loss on fair value changes, investment, remains uncertain
and dependent on the current and further spread of COVID-19, steps taken by the government and other regulators to mitigate the economic impact and also the time it takes for economic
activities to resume and reach the normal levels. Further, the Company has assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its liquidity and ability to repay its obligations as and when
they are due. Management has considered various financial support from banks and other fundraising opportunities in determining the Company's liquidity position over the next 12
months. Based on the foregoing and necessary stress tests considering various scenarios, management believes that the Company will be able to pay its obligations as and when these
become due in the foreseeable future. In assessing the recoverability of loans, receivables, deferred tax assets and investments, the Company has considered internal and external sources
of information, including credit reports, economic forecasts and industry reports up to the date of approval of these financial results. Since the situation continue to evolve, its effect on the
operations of the Company may be different from that estimated as at the date of approval of these financial results. The Company will continue to closely monitor material changes in
markets and future economic conditions.

3. Presentation of reformatted consolidated financial information (FY 2021-22, FY 2020-21 & FY 2019-20)
The Group presents its balance sheet in order of liquidity in compliance with the Division III of the Schedule III to the Companies
Act, 2013. An analysis regarding recovery or settlement within 12 months after the reporting date (current) and more than 12
months after the reporting date (non-current) is presented in Note 50.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are generally reported gross in the balance sheet. They are only offset and reported net
when, in addition to having an unconditional legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts without being contingent
on a future event, the parties also intend to settle on a net basis in all of the following circumstances:
Derivative assets and liabilities with master netting arrangements (e.g. transactions under International Swaps and Derivative
Association (ISDA) master agreement) are only presented net when they satisfy the eligibility of netting for all of the above criteria
and not just in the event of default. The effect of netting arrangements is disclosed in note 10.1
The Reformatted Consolidated Financial information as on 31 March 2022, 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2020 comprise the
reformatted standalone financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries as at 31 March 2022, 31 March 2021 and 31
March 2020 including any controlled structured entities. The Company consolidates a subsidiary when it controls it. Control is
achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to
affect those returns through its power over the investee. Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in
control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee,
the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee
The size of the Group’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of the holdings of the other voting rights
holders
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee, if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or
more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and
ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed
of during the year are included in the Reformatted Consolidated Financial information from the date the Group gains control until
the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Reformatted Consolidated Financial information are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other
events in similar circumstances. If a member of the Group uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the Reformatted
Consolidated Financial information for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to that
Group member’s financial information in preparing the Reformatted Consolidated Financial information to ensure conformity with
the Group’s accounting policies. However, no subsidiaries, associates and consolidated structure entities have followed different
accounting policies than those followed by the Group for the preparation of these Reformatted Consolidated Financial information.

Notes to the Reformatted Consolidated Financial Information (Continued)
Annexure V
The reformatted financial information of all entities used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to same reporting date as
that of the parent company, i.e., year ended on 31 March.
Consolidation procedure:
a. Combine like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent with those of its subsidiaries.
For this purpose, income and expenses of the subsidiary are based on the amounts of the assets and liabilities recognised
in the Reformatted Consolidated Financial information at the acquisition date.
b. Offset (eliminate) the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in each subsidiary and the parent’s portion of equity of
each subsidiary. Business combinations policy explains how to account for any related goodwill, refer note no 5.25
c. Eliminate in full intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between
entities of the Group (profits or losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognised in assets, are eliminated in
full). Income Taxes applies to temporary differences that arise from the elimination of profits and losses resulting from
intragroup transactions.
Profit or loss and each component of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the
Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. With respect
to put options granted by the Group to the holders of non-controlling interests in a subsidiary, where the Group does not have a
present ownership interest in the shares subject to put, till the put remains unexercised, non-controlling continues to be
recognised including allocation of profit or loss, other comprehensive income and other changes in equity of the subsidiary.
However, at each reporting date, the non-controlling interest is derecognised as if it were acquired at that date and a financial
liability is recognised and measured at its fair value. The difference between these two amounts is recognised as an equity
transaction and attributed to owners of the parent.
Given the level of judgement required regarding consolidation of structured entities, these considerations are described further
in the significant accounting judgements in Note 6.1(c). Disclosures for investment in subsidiaries, and structured entities are
provided in Note 58.
The reformatted consolidated financial information of all subsidiaries incorporated outside India are converted on the following
basis: (a) Income and expenses are converted at the average rate of exchange applicable for the period/year and (b) All assets
and liabilities are translated at the closing rate as on the Balance Sheet date. The exchange difference arising out of period/year
end translation is debited or credited as “Foreign Exchange Translation Reserve” forming part of Other Comprehensive Income
and accumulated as a separate component of other equity.
Investment in associates:
(FY 2021-22 & FY 2020-21)
An associate is an entity over which the Group has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decision of the
investee, but it’s not control or joint control over those policies.
The Group’s investments in its associate is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in
an associate is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s
share of net assets of the associate since the acquisition date. The Reformatted Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss reflects
the Group’s share of the results of operations of the associate. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the
Group’s OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate, the Group recognises
its share of any changes, when applicable, in the Statement of Changes in Equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from
transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.

Notes to the Reformatted Consolidated Financial Information (Continued)
Annexure V
(FY 2019-20)
An associate is an entity over which the Group has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decision of the
investee, but it’s not control or joint control over those policies.
Interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR) method for all financial instruments measured at amortised cost
and debt instrument measured at FVOCI. The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the
expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.
The EIR (and therefore, the amortised cost of the financial asset) is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on
acquisition, fees and costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The Group recognises interest income using a rate of return that
represents the best estimate of a constant rate of return over the expected life of the loan. Hence, it recognises the effect of
potentially different interest rates charged at various stages, and other characteristics of the product life cycle (including
prepayments, penalty interest and charges).
If expectations regarding the cash flows on the financial asset are revised for reasons other than credit risk, the adjustment is
booked as a positive or negative adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset in the balance sheet with an increase or reduction
in interest income.
When a financial asset becomes credit-impaired and is, therefore, regarded as ‘Stage 3’, the Group calculates interest income by
applying the effective interest rate to the net amortised cost of the financial asset. If the financial assets cures and is no longer
credit-impaired, the Group reverts to calculating interest income on a gross basis.
For purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) financial assets, the Group calculates interest income by calculating the credit-
adjusted EIR and applying that rate to the amortised cost of the asset. The credit-adjusted EIR is the interest rate that, at original
recognition, discounts the estimated future cash flows (including credit losses) to the amortised cost of the POCI assets.
Dividend Income
Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive payment of the dividend is established, it is
probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the entity, and the amount of the dividend can be
measured reliably.
Donation mobilized
(FY 2021-2022, 2020-2021)
1. General Donations
General Donation’s are recognized as income in the year of receipt in the statement of Income and Expenditure
2. Specific Donations
Amounts received with a specific direction from donors towards a particular project for more than a financial year is recognized
as income, only to the extent of cost incurred in that financial year and balance is recorded as liability.

Annexure V
3. Corpus Donation
Amounts received with a specific direction from donors that such amounts shall form a part of Corpus of the Foundation are credited
as Corpus Fund and disclosed as a liability in Balance Sheet.
(FY 2019-2020)
Donations/voluntary contributions which are made with a specific direction that they shall form part of the corpus of the Company are
added to Corpus Fund and disclosed as a liability in the balance sheet and others are treated as income as and when received. All
donations received during the year are towards the objectives of the Company
Financial assets and financial liabilities, with the exception of loans, debt securities, deposits and borrowings are initially recognised on
the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group 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 marketplace. The Group recognises borrowings when funds are available for utilisation to the
Group.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on
initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
When the transaction price of the financial 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 Group 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.
The Group classifies all its financial assets based on the business model for managing the assets and the asset’s contractual terms,
measured at either:
Amortised cost
F - 112
Edelweiss Financial Services Limited
Notes to the Reformatted Consolidated Financial Information (Continued)
Annexure V
The Group measures debt financial assets that meet the following conditions at amortised cost:
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows; and
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Debt financial instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income (except for debt instruments that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial
recognition):
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows
and selling the financial assets; and
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Other than above classification of amortised cost and FVOCI, all other financial assets are initially measured at fair value and
subsequently measured at FVTPL.
The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the
principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial
amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. On the other hand, the gross carrying amount of a financial
asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.
The Group classifies financial assets as held for trading when they have been purchased or issued primarily for short-term profit
making through trading activities or form part of a portfolio of financial instruments that are managed together, for which there
evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit is taking. Held-for- trading assets are recorded and measured in the balance
sheet at fair value. Financial assets designated at FVTPL, please refer note 5.3.2.2
Unrealised gains or losses on debt instruments measured at FVOCI are recognised in other comprehensive income, and on
derecognition of such instrument accumulated gains or losses are recycled to reformatted consolidated statement of profit and
loss. Interest income on such instrument is recognised in reformatted consolidated statement of profit and loss as per EIR
method.
The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value through profit or loss, unless the management has elected
to classify irrevocably some of its strategic equity investments to be measured at FVOCI, when such instruments meet the
definition of equity under Ind AS and are not held for trading. Such classification is determined on an instrument- by-instrument
basis.

All financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost except loan commitments, financial guarantees, and derivative financial
liabilities.
After initial measurement, debt issued and other borrowed funds are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Amortised cost
is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on issue funds, and costs that are an integral part of the instrument.
The Group issues certain non-convertible debentures, the return of which is linked to performance of specified indices over the
period of the debenture. Such debentures have a component of an embedded derivative which is fair valued at a reporting date.
The resultant ‘net unrealised loss or gain’ on the fair valuation of these embedded derivatives is recognised in the reformatted
consolidated statement of profit and loss. The debt component of such debentures is measured at amortised cost using yield to
maturity basis.
5.3.2.2 Financial assets and Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets and financial liabilities in this category are those that are not held for trading and have been either designated
by management upon initial recognition or are mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Management only designates
an instrument at FVTPL upon initial recognition when one of the following criterias are met. Such designation is determined on
an instrument-by-instrument basis:
The designation eliminates, or significantly reduces, the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring
the assets or liabilities or recognising gains or losses on them on a different basis; or
The liabilities are part of a group of financial liabilities, which are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value
basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy; or
The liabilities containing one or more embedded derivatives, unless they do not significantly modify the cash flows that would
otherwise be required by the contract, or it is clear with little or no analysis when a similar instrument is first considered that
separation of the embedded derivative(s) is prohibited.
Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded
in profit and loss with the exception of movements in fair value of liabilities designated at FVTPL due to changes in the Group’s
own credit risk. Such changes in fair value are recorded in the own credit reserve through OCI and do not get recycled to the
profit or loss. Interest earned or incurred on instruments designated at FVTPL is accrued in interest income or finance cost,
respectively, using the EIR, taking into account any discount/ premium and qualifying transaction costs being an integral part of
instrument. Interest earned on assets mandatorily required to be measured at FVTPL is recorded using contractual interest rate.
Financial guarantees are contracts that require the Group to make specified payments to reimburse to holder for loss that it
incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when it is due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee issued or commitments to provide a loan at below market interest rate are initially measured at fair value
and the initial fair value is amortised over the life of the guarantee or the commitment. Subsequently they are measured at higher
of this amortised amount and the amount of loss allowance.

Undrawn loan commitments are commitments under which, the Group is required to provide a loan with pre-specified terms to
the customer during the duration of commitment.
Financial instruments issued by the group are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance
of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Equity instruments issued by a group entity are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Group’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in
profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments.
Derivatives
The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange
rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps.
Group has designed a risk strategy based to cover exposure on issuance of Benchmark Linked Debentures, by entering into a
derivative contracts either to minimise the loss or to earn a minimum committed income by entering into a combination of
derivative contracts (say for example purchased call and put options) with a wide range of strike prices. Above strategy has been
approved by the risk committee and ensures that risk is fully or partially covered, hence support to reduce the risk exposure.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at fair value through profit or loss. The resulting
gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
Embedded derivatives
An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid instrument that also includes a non-derivative host contract with the effect
that some of the cash flows of the combined instrument vary in a way similar to a standalone derivative An embedded derivative
causes some or all of the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract to be modified according to a specified
interest rate, foreign exchange rate, or other variable, provided that, in the case of a non-financial variable, it is not specific to a
party to the contract.
Derivatives embedded in all other host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their
economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading
or designated at fair value though profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value
recognised in profit or loss, unless designated as effective hedging instruments.

Forward Rate Agreement (FRA) and Interest Rate Futures (IRF) (FY 2021-22 & FY 2020-21)
The Group enters into interest rate derivative transactions i.e. Forward Rate Agreement (FRA) and Interest Rate Futures (IRF) to
hedge the interest rate risk arising out of highly probable forecasted future cash inflows.
A Forward Rate Agreement (“FRA”) is a forward contract to hedge the risk of movements in interest rates. In FRA contract, the Group
fixes the yield on the government bond for the period till the maturity of the contract. The Group has entered into FRA to hedge
interest rate risk on forecasted premium receivable from already written policies at future dates.
Forward Rate Agreement derivative contracts are over-the-counter (OTC) transactions, agreeing to buy notional value of a debt
security at a specified future date, at a price determined at the time of the contract with an objective to lock in the price of an
interest bearing security at a future date.
The Forward Rate Agreement (FRA) contract is valued at the difference between the market value of underlying bond at the
spot reference yield taken from the SEBI approved rating agency and present value of contracted forward price of underlying
bond including present value of intermediate coupon inflows from valuation date till FRA contract settlement date, at applicable
INR-OIS rate curve.
Interest rate futures are standardized interest rate derivative contracts which are permitted by IRDAI to hedge risks on forecasted
transactions. These are traded on a recognized stock exchange to buy or sell a notional security or any other interest-bearing
instrument or an index of such instruments or interest rates at a specified future date, at a price determined at the time of the
contract.
The instrument is classified as FVTPL securities and the net gain on fair value change is recognized in the Reformatted
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derivatives Instruments are initially recognized at fair value at the date of entering into the derivative contracts and are
subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The Company follows Cash Flow Hedge
accounting. Hedge effectiveness is ascertained at the inception of the hedge and periodically thereafter.
At the inception of the hedge, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, the
risk management objective, strategy for undertaking the hedge and the methods used to assess the hedge effectiveness. Hedge
effectiveness is the degree to which changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item that are attributable to a hedged risk
are offset by changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedging instrument. Hedge effectiveness is ascertained at the time of
inception of the hedge and periodically thereafter at Balance Sheet date.
The portion of fair value gain/loss on the IRD that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognized directly in appropriate account
i.e. ‘Fair value gain/loss on derivatives’ under the head Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated under the head of Cash Flow
Hedge Reserve in the Balance Sheet and the portion of IRD fair value gain/loss that gets determined as ineffective hedge or ineffective
portion of effective hedge, basis the hedge effectiveness assessment is recognized in the Reformatted Consolidated Statement of
Profit and Loss.

Forward Rate Agreement (FRA) and Interest Rate Futures (IRF) (Continued)
The accumulated gains or losses that were recognised directly in the Hedge Reserve are reclassified into Reformatted Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss, in the same period during which the income from hedged forecasted cash flows affect the Reformatted
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (such as in the periods that income on the investments acquired from underlying
forecasted cashflow is recognized in the Reformatted Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss). In the event that all or any portion
of loss or gain, recognised directly in the Hedge Reserve is not expected to be recovered in future periods, the amount that is not
expected to be recovered is reclassified to the Reformatted Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. Gains or losses arising from
hedge ineffectiveness, if any, are recognised in the Reformatted Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. Costs associated with
derivative contracts are considered as at a point in time cost.
The Group does not reclassify its financial assets subsequent to their initial recognition, apart from the exceptional circumstances in
which the Group acquires, disposes of, or terminates a business line. Financial liabilities are never reclassified.
5.5.1 Derecognition of financial assets due to substantial modification of terms and conditions
The Group derecognises a financial asset, such as a loan to a customer, when the terms and conditions have been renegotiated to
the extent that, substantially, it becomes a new financial assets, with the difference recognised as a derecognition gain or loss, to the
extent that an impairment loss has not already been recorded. The newly recognised financial asset are classified as Stage 1 for ECL
measurement purposes, unless the new financial asset is deemed to be POCI
When assessing whether or not to derecognise a financial asset, amongst others, the Group considers the following factors:
If the modification does not result in cash flows that are substantially different, the modification does not result in derecognition.
Based on the change in cash flows discounted at the original EIR, the Group records a modification gain or loss, to the extent that an
impairment loss has not already been recorded.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when
the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired. The Group also derecognises the financial asset if it has both
transferred the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition.
The Group has transferred the financial asset if, and only if, either:
The Group has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset; or
It retains the rights to the cash flows, but has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material
delay to a third party under a ‘pass–through’ arrangement.

Notes to the Reformatted Consolidated Financial Information (Continued)
Annexure V
5.5.2 Derecognition of financial assets (other than due to substantial modification) (Continued)
Pass -through arrangements are transactions whereby the Group 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 conditions are met:
The Group has no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipients unless it has collected equivalent amounts from the
original asset, excluding short-term advances with the right to full recovery of the amount lent plus accrued interest at market
rates
The Group cannot sell or pledge the original asset other than as security to the eventual recipients
The Group has to remit any cash flows it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients without material delay. In addition, the Group
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 Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or
The Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred
control of the asset
The Group 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.
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 financial liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original
financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying value of the original financial
liability and the consideration paid, including modified contractual cash flow recognised as new financial liability, would be recognised
in profit or loss.
The Group records allowance for expected credit losses for all financial assets, other than financial assets held at FVTPL, together
with loan commitment and financial guarantee contracts. Equity instruments are not subject to impairment.
The Group follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables and lease receivables. The
application of simplified approach does not require the Group to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss
allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition. The Group uses a provision matrix to
determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default
rates over the expected life of the receivables. However, if receivables contain a significant financing component, the Group chooses
as its accounting policy to measure the loss allowance by applying general approach to measure ECL.
F - 118
Edelweiss Financial Services Limited
Notes to the Reformatted Consolidated Financial Information (Continued)
Annexure V
For all other financial assets, where ECL to be recognised, the Group recognises lifetime ECL when there has been a significant
increase in credit risk (SICR) since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial
recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for such instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses
(12m ECL). The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of
a default occurring since initial recognition instead of an evidence of a financial asset being credit-impaired at the reporting date or
an actual default occurring.
Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life. In contrast,
12m ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after
the reporting date.
The measurement of ECL is a function of the probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if
there is a default) and the exposure at default (EAD). The assessment of the PD and LGD is based on historical data adjusted by
forward-looking information. As for the EAD, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the
reporting date; for loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, the exposure includes the amount drawn down as at the
reporting date, together with any additional amounts expected to be drawn down in the future by default date determined based
on historical trend, the Group’s understanding of the specific future financing needs of the borrowers, and other relevant forward-
looking information.
For financial assets, ECL is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance
with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The
Group recognises an impairment loss or reversal of impairment loss in the reformatted consolidated statement of profit and loss
with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
If a financial instrument includes both a loan (i.e. financial asset) and an undrawn commitment (i.e. loan commitment) component
and the Group cannot separately identify the ECL on the loan commitment component from those on the financial asset component,
the ECL on the loan commitment have been recognised together with the loss allowance for the financial asset. To the extent that
the combined ECL exceed the gross carrying amount of the financial asset, the ECL have been recognised as a provision. Also, for
other loan commitments and all financial guarantee contracts, the loss allowance has been recognised as a provision.
To mitigate its credit risks on financial assets, the Group seeks to use collateral, where possible. The collateral comes in various forms,
such as cash, securities, letters of credit/guarantees, real estate, receivables, inventories, other non-financial assets and credit
enhancements such as netting agreements. Collateral, unless repossessed, is not recorded on the balance sheet. However, the fair
value of collateral affects the calculation of ECLs. It is generally assessed, at a minimum, at inception and re- assessed on a periodical
basis. However, some collateral, for example, cash or securities relating to margining requirements, is valued daily
To the extent possible, the Group 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.
F - 119
Edelweiss Financial Services Limited
Notes to the Reformatted Consolidated Financial Information (Continued)
Annexure V
The Group’s policy is to determine whether a repossessed asset can be best used for its internal operations or should be sold. Assets
determined to be useful for the internal operations are transferred to their relevant asset category at the lower of their repossessed
value or the carrying value of the original secured asset. Assets for which selling is determined to be a better option are transferred
to assets held for sale at their fair value (if financial assets) and fair value less cost to sell for non-financial assets at the repossession
date in, line with the Group’s policy.
In its normal course of business, the Group does not physically repossess properties or other assets in its retail portfolio, but engages
external agents to recover funds, generally at auction, to settle outstanding debt. Any surplus funds are returned to the
customers/obligors.
Financial assets are written off either partially or in their entirety only when the Group has no reasonable expectation of recovery.
The Group sometimes makes concessions or modifications to the original terms of loans as a response to the borrower’s financial
difficulties, rather than taking possession or to otherwise enforce collection of collateral. The Group considers a loan forborne when
such concessions or modifications are provided as a result of the borrower’s present or expected financial difficulties and the Group
would not have agreed to them if the borrower had been financially healthy. Indicators of financial difficulties include defaults on
covenants, or significant concerns raised by the Credit Risk Department. Forbearance may involve extending the payment
arrangements and the agreement of new loan conditions. Once the terms have been renegotiated, any impairment is measured
using the original EIR as calculated before the modification of terms. It is the Group’s policy to monitor forborne loans to help ensure
that future payments continue to be likely to occur. Derecognition decisions and classification between Stage 2 and Stage 3 are
determined on a case- by-case basis. If these procedures identify a loss in relation to a loan, it is disclosed and managed as an impaired
Stage 3 forborne asset, until it is collected or written off.
The Group measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date. Fair value is the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the
liability takes place either:
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.
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 Group 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:
F - 120
Edelweiss Financial Services Limited
Notes to the Reformatted Consolidated Financial Information (Continued)
Annexure V
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 Group has access at the measurement date. The Group 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.
Level 3 financial instruments −Those that include one or more unobservable input that is significant to the measurement as
whole. For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the reformatted consolidated financial information on a recurring basis,
the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based
on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
The Group periodically reviews its valuation techniques including the adopted methodologies and model calibrations.
Therefore, the Group applies various techniques to estimate the credit risk associated with its financial instruments measured at fair
value, which include a portfolio-based approach that estimates the expected net exposure per counterparty over the full lifetime of
the individual assets, in order to reflect the credit risk of the individual counterparties for non-collateralised financial instruments.
The Group evaluates the levelling at each reporting period on an instrument-by-instrument basis and reclassifies instruments when
necessary based on the facts at the end of the reporting period.
Revenue is measured at transaction price i.e. the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for
transferring promised goods or services to the customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group consider
the terms of the contract and its customary business practices to determine the transaction price. Where the consideration promised
is variable, the Group excludes the estimates of variable consideration that are constrained. The Group applies the five-step approach
for the recognition of revenue:
I. Identification of contract
a. Fee income including investment banking, advisory fees and syndication fees, is accounted over the period as the
customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits, as the services are rendered.
b. Clearing fee income arises, when the performance obligation related to trade is executed and a valid contract is
generated for the trade. Fee income is accounted for, at a point in time or over a period of time in accordance with
the terms and contracts entered into between the Group and the counterparty.

c. Brokerage income on securities and commodities broking business is recognised as per contracted rates at the
execution of transactions on behalf of the customers on the trade date and is reflected net of related sub-brokerage
expenses, goods and service tax (“GST”), transaction charges and stock exchange expenses. Brokerage income on
insurance broking business is recognised on an accrual basis at the inception of the insurance policy once the policy
is issued by the insurance company based on the terms agreed with the insurance companies and is exclusive of GST.
d. Investment management fees are recognised net of GST over the tenure in accordance with the Investment
Management Agreement with Edelweiss Mutual Fund (‘the mutual fund’) and comply with the Securities and
Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 based on average Assets Under Management (‘AUM’)
confirmed by the mutual fund.
e. Management fee from trusts declared by it for acquisition of financial assets and the same is accounted for over
the tenure as per terms of the relevant trust deeds and offer document issued by the Trust. Further any upside
share in excess realisation over acquisition price of financial asset is recognised at point in time basis as per terms of
the relevant trust deed/offer document. Redemption incentive and recovery incentive is accounted over the
period on cash basis,
i.e. as and when received by the Group, based on terms of the relevant trust deeds and offer document issued by
the Trust.
f. Portfolio management fees are recognised over the tenure in accordance with portfolio management agreement
entered with respective clients.
g. Interest on delayed payments, warehousing charges and rental income are recognised as revenue on certainty of
realisation.
h. Agency commission/procurement income is recorded in pursuant to terms and conditions mentioned in scope of
work or agreement.
i. Real estate advisory fee income is recognised basis the terms and conditions mentioned in the agreement.
j. Revenue from fund management services (excluding mutual fund business) is recognised over the tenure in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the investment management agreement between the Group and
the Fund for which the Group acts as a fund manager.
k. Revenue from rendering of trustee services is recognised in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Compensation Agreement between the trustee company and the fund. The amount recognised as revenue is
exclusive of GST.
l. Commodities sales are accounted as per the terms of agreement with parties.
m. Sale during the course of import by transfer of documents of title i.e. high seas sale is booked upon transfer of
documents of title to the goods in favour of buyer before the goods cross the custom frontiers of India.
n. The Group recognises incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer as an asset if it expects to recover
those costs. This asset is amortised to profit or loss on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer to the
customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates.
o. Lease rentals are recognised as income in reformatted consolidated statement of profit and loss on a straight-
line basis over the lease term. Costs related to operating and maintenance of investment property is recognised

5.13. Leases
Group as a lessee
The Group has applied IND AS 116 using the partial retrospective approach.
The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to
control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. The Group applies a single recognition and
measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease
liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for
use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any
remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct
costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets
are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Lease Liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to
be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease
incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual
value guarantees. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease
commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the
amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the
carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments
(e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in
the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
The Group has elected not to recognise right of use asset and lease liabilities for short term leases of property that has lease term of
12 months or less. The Group recognises lease payment associated with these leases as an expense on a straight- line basis over lease
term.
Group as lessor
The Group’s accounting policy under Ind AS 116 has not changed from the comparative period. As a lessor the Group classifies its
leases as either operating or finance leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards
incidental to ownership of the underlying asset and classified as an operating lease if it does not.

Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue equity shares were
exercised or converted during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax attributable to the

weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The Reformatted Consolidated Financial information are presented in Indian Rupees which is also functional currency of the Parent.
For each entity the Group determines the functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are
measured using that functional currency. Transactions in currencies other than Indian Rupees (i.e. foreign currencies) are recognised
at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated
in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non- monetary items carried at fair value that are
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-
monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
The Group contributes to a recognised provident fund and national pension scheme which is a defined contribution scheme. The
contributions are accounted for on an accrual basis and recognised in the reformatted consolidated statement of profit and loss.
Gratuity
The Group’s gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. The Group’s net obligation in respect of the gratuity benefit scheme is
calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that the employees have earned in return for their service in the current and
prior periods, that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any plan assets, if any, is deducted. The
present value of the obligation under such benefit plan is determined based on independent actuarial valuation using the Projected
Unit Credit Method. Benefits in respect of gratuity are funded with an Insurance company approved by Insurance Regulatory and
Development Authority (IRDA).
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest
on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined
benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through
OCI in the period in which they occur.
Compensated Absenses
The eligible employees of the Group are permitted to carry forward certain number of their annual leave entitlement to subsequent
years, subject to a ceiling. The Group recognises the charge in the reformatted consolidated statement of profit and loss and
corresponding liability on such non- vesting accumulated leave entitlement based on a valuation by an independent actuary. The
cost of providing annual leave benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method.

• Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine
settlements; and
• Net interest expense or income
Equity-settled share- based payments to employees are granted by the ultimate parent Company. These are measured by reference
to the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. These includes Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) where the right to
receive the difference between the SAR price and the market price of equity shares of the ultimate parent Company on the date of
exercise, either by way of cash or issuance of equity shares of the ultimate parent Company, is at the discretion of the ultimate
parent Company. These are classified as equity settled share-based transaction.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed over the vesting period, based
on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each
reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision
of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with
a corresponding adjustment to the ’ESOP reserve’. In cases where the share options granted vest in instalments over the vesting
period, the Group treats each instalment as a separate grant, because each instalment has a different vesting period, and hence
the fair value of each instalment differs.
Property plant and equipment is stated at cost excluding the costs of day–to–day servicing, less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment in value. Changes in the expected useful life are accounted for by changing the amortisation period or
methodology, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates.
Subsequent costs incurred on an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount thereof when those
costs meet the recognition criteria as mentioned above. Repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less
their residual values over their useful lives. Depreciation is provided on a written down value basis from the date the asset is ready
for its intended use or put to use whichever is earlier. In respect of assets sold, depreciation is provided upto the date of disposal.
As per the requirement of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, the Group has evaluated the useful lives of the respective
property, plant and equipment which are as per the provisions of Part C of the Schedule II for calculating the depreciation. The
estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Change in accounting policy for land and buildings from 31st March 2020:
Land and buildings are subsequently shown at fair value based on periodic valuations by external independent valuers, less
subsequent depreciation for buildings. Valuations will be carried out on a regular basis, unless the management consider it
appropriate to have an earlier revaluation, such that the carrying amount of property does not differ materially from that which
would be determined using fair values at the end of the reporting period. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation
is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset, and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset
(Refer note no.18 for details).
Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to other comprehensive income and
shown as a revaluation reserve in shareholders’ equity. An exception is a gain on revaluation that reverses a revaluation decrease
(impairment) on the same asset previously recognised as an expense. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset
are charged in other comprehensive income and debited against the revaluation reserve directly in equity; all other decreases are
charged to profit or loss. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged
to profit or loss and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings
Right-of-use assets are presented together with property and equipment in the statement of reformatted consolidated financial
information – refer to the accounting policy 5.13. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise
from the continued use of the asset. The carrying amount of those components which have been separately recognised as assets is
derecognised at the time of replacement thereof. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant
and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised
in profit or loss.
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
The Group’s intangible assets mainly include the value of computer software and management rights. An intangible asset is
recognised only when its cost can be measured reliably and it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are
attributable to it will flow to the Group.
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business
combination is their fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less
any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the
useful economic life.

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired based on internal/
external factors. If any such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount
of the asset or the recoverable amount of cash generating unit which the asset belongs to is less than its carrying amount, the
carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the
reformatted consolidated statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that a previously assessed
impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject
to a maximum of the depreciable historical cost.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity
of three months or less.
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable
that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the
effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows to net
present value using an appropriate pre- tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and,
where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
A present obligation that arises from past events, where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to
settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made, is disclosed as a contingent liability. Contingent liabilities are also
disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. Claims against
the Group, where the possibility of any outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are not disclosed as contingent liabilities.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the reformatted consolidated financial information since this may result in the recognition
of income that may never be realised. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a
contingent asset and is recognised.
Income tax expense represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.
The current tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before tax’ as reported
in the reformatted consolidated statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or
deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s current tax is calculated using tax
rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the
reformatted consolidated financial information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable
profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are
generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will
be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

Edelweiss Financial Services Limited
Notes to the Reformatted Consolidated Financial Information (Continued)
Annexure V
Deferred tax assets are also recognised with respect to carry forward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax
credits can be utilised.
It is probable that taxable profit will be available against which a deductible temporary difference, unused tax loss or
unused tax credit can be utilised when there are sufficient taxable temporary differences which are expected to reverse
in the period of reversal of deductible temporary difference or in periods in which a tax loss can be carried forward or
back. When this is not the case, deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent it is probable that:
the entity will have sufficient taxable profit in the same period as reversal of deductible temporary difference or
periods in which a tax loss can be carried forward or back; or
tax planning opportunities are available that will create taxable profit in appropriate periods.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be
recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the
liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted
by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner
in which the subsidiaries expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its
assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
MAT paid in a year is charged to the reformatted consolidated statement of profit and loss as current tax. The Group
recognises unused MAT credit as a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it is probable that the Group will be able
to utilise during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year
in which the Group recognises deferred tax asset (MAT credit) as an asset, the said asset is created by way of credit to
the reformatted consolidated statement of profit and loss. The Group reviews the MAT asset at each reporting date
and writes down the asset to the extent that it is not probable that the Group will be able to utilise it during the specified
period.

Properties, including those under construction, held to earn rentals and/or capital appreciation are classified as investment
property and are measured and reported at cost, including transaction costs.
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 the 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 reformatted consolidated statement of profit and loss in the same period.
Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment loss, if any
The acquisition method of accounting is used for business combinations by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as
the aggregate of the consideration transferred measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling
interests in the acquiree. At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their
acquisition date fair values. Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the
amount recognised for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed. After initial recognition, goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators
exists. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated
to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other
assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.
Common control business combinations includes transactions, such as transfer of subsidiaries or businesses, between entities
within a group. Group has accounted all such transactions based on pooling of interest method, which is as below:-
• The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts.
• No adjustments are made to reflect fair values, or recognise any new assets or liabilities.
• The financial information in the reformatted consolidated financial information in respect of prior periods are restated as if the
business combination had occurred from the beginning of the preceding period in the financial statements, irrespective of the
actual date of the combination.
The identity of the reserves shall be preserved and shall appear in the financial information of the transferee in the same form in
which they appeared in the financial information of the transferor. The difference, if any, between the amount recorded as share
capital issued plus any additional consideration in the form of cash or other assets and the amount of share capital of the transferor
shall be transferred to capital reserve.

5.27. Significant accounting policies of life insurance business (Edelweiss Tokio Life Insurance Company Limited (“ETLIFE”):
a. Product classification
Insurance contract
Insurance contracts are those contracts when ETLIFE has accepted significant insurance risk from the policyholders by agreeing to
compensate the policyholders if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholders.
As a general guideline, ETLIFE determines whether it has significant insurance risk, by comparing benefits paid with benefits payable
if the insured event did not occur. Such contract remains an insurance contract for the remainder of its lifetime, even if the insurance
risk reduces significantly during this period, unless all rights and obligations are extinguished or expire. Contracts can be classified
as insurance contracts after inception if insurance risk becomes significant.
Investment contract
Investment contracts are those contracts which are not insurance contract. Investment contracts are those contracts that transfer
financial risk with no significant insurance risk. Investment contracts can, however, be reclassified as insurance contracts after
inception if insurance risk becomes significant. Some insurance and investment contracts contain a discretionary participation
feature (DPF), which is a contractual right to receive additional benefits as a supplement to guaranteed benefits.
Insurance and investment contracts are further classified as with DPF, Linked Business and Others. Insurance contracts and
investment contracts with DPF are measured and accounted under existing accounting practices at the date of transition to Ind AS
which is in accordance with Ind AS 104.
b. Revenue recognition
• Premium Income
Premium income on insurance contracts and investment contracts with DPF are recognised as income when due from
policyholders. For regular premium contracts, receivables are recognised at the date when payments are due.
In respect of linked business, premium income is recognised when the associated units are allotted. Top up premiums paid by
unit-linked policyholders are considered as single premium and recognised as income when the associated units are created.
Where policies lapse due to non-receipt of premiums, then all the related premium income accrued but not received from the
date they are deemed to have lapsed is offset against premiums. Premium on lapsed policies is recognised as income on receipt
basis on reinstatement or revival of these policies.
Reinsurance premium ceded is accounted at the time of recognition of premium income in accordance with the treaty or in
principle arrangement/agreement with the reinsurers.
Income from unit-linked policies, which include fund management charges, policy administration charges, mortality charges
and other charges, wherever applicable, are recovered from the unit-linked funds in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the policies issued and are recognised as and when due.

• Interest income on policy loans is recognised using effective interest rate method
c. Acquisition costs
Acquisition cost which are primarily relatable to the acquisition of insurance and investment contracts with DPF are expensed
in the period in which they are incurred.
For investment contracts with or without DPF, acquisition costs that are directly attributable to securing an investment
contract are deferred and amortised over the period in which the service is provided.
Benefits paid:
Benefits paid consists of the policy benefit and claim settlement costs, if any.
• Non-linked business
Death, rider, withdrawals and surrender claims are accounted for on receipt of intimation. Maturity, survival benefit and
annuities are accounted when due.
• Linked-business
Death and rider are accounted for on receipt of intimation. Maturity claims and survival benefit are accounted for on due
basis. Surrenders and withdrawals are accounted for on receipt of intimation. Amount payable on lapsed/ discontinued
policies are accounted for on expiry of lock in period of these policies.
• Reinsurance
Reinsurance claims receivable are accounted for in the same period as the related claim.
d. Reinsurance ceded
ETLIFE cedes reinsurance in the normal course of business, with retention limits varying by line of business. Premiums ceded
and claims reimbursed are presented on a gross basis in the reformatted consolidated statement of profit and loss.
Reinsurance assets primarily include balances due from reinsurance companies for ceded insurance. Amounts recoverable
from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the underlying contract liabilities, outstanding claims provisions or
settled claims associated with the reinsured policies and in accordance with the relevant reinsurance contract.

5.27. Significant accounting policies of life insurance business (Edelweiss Tokio Life Insurance Company Limited (“ETLIFE”): (Continued)
Reinsurance assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, or more frequently, when an indication of impairment
arises during the reporting period. Impairment occurs when there is objective evidence as a result of an event that occurred
after initial recognition of the reinsurance asset that the company may not receive all outstanding amounts due under the
terms of the contract and the event has a reliably measurable impact on the amounts that the company will receive from the
reinsurer. The impairment loss is recorded in the reformatted consolidated statement of profit and loss.
ETLIFE assesses at the end of each reporting period whether its recognised insurance liabilities are adequate, using current
estimates of future cash flows under its insurance contracts. If that assessment shows that the carrying amount of its insurance
liabilities is inadequate in the light of the estimated future cash flows, the entire deficiency shall be recognised in the
reformatted consolidated statement of profit and loss.
f. Policyholder Liability
Insurance and investment contract with DPF claims / liabilities are measured using the accounting policies consistent with
those adopted previously under existing accounting practices.
Hence, the policyholder liabilities are calculated in accordance with the accepted actuarial practice, requirements of Insurance
Act, 1938 and amendments thereafter, applicable regulations notified by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority
of India (IRDAI), and Actuarial Practice Standards issued by the Institute of Actuaries of India.
Liability in respect of investment contracts is recognised in accordance with Ind AS, taking into account accepted actuarial
practices.
• Assets held for unclaimed amount of policyholders is created and maintained in accordance with the requirement of
IRDAI Regulations and Investment Regulations, 2016 as amended from time to time.
• Unclaimed amount of policyholders’ assets grouped under other financial assets is invested in money market instruments
and / or fixed deposits of scheduled banks which are valued at amortised cost.
• Income on unclaimed amount of policyholders is credited to respective unclaimed account and is accounted for on an
accrual basis.
• Amount payable on account of income earned on assets held for unclaimed amount of policyholders is accounted for on
an accrual basis and is disclosed net of fund management charges.
• Unclaimed amount of policyholders’ liability grouped under trade payables is determined on the basis of NAV of the units
outstanding as at the valuation date.
• Amounts remaining unclaimed for a period of 10 years together with all respective accretions to the fund as per the above
mentioned regulations are deposited into the Senior Citizen Welfare Fund (SCWF).

• Premium Income
Premium income including reinsurance accepted (net of goods and service tax), is recognised as income at the
commencement of risk over the contract period or the period of risk, whichever is appropriate, on a gross basis and for
instalment basis, it is recognised on instalment due dates. Reinstatement premium is recorded as and when such
premiums are recovered. Any subsequent revisions to premium are recognised in the year in which they occur over the
remaining period of risk or contract period, as applicable. Adjustments to premium income arising on cancellation of
policies are recognised in the period in which they are cancelled. Premium received in advance represents premium
received prior to the commencement of the risk.
• Reinsurance Ceded
Insurance premium on ceding of the risk is recognised in the period in which the risk commences in accordance with
reinsurance arrangements with the reinsurers. Any subsequent revisions to, refunds or cancellations of premiums are
recognised in the year in which they occur. Premium on excess of loss reinsurance cover is accounted as per the terms
of the reinsurance arrangements. Adjustment to reinsurance premium arising on cancellation of policies is recognised
in the period in which they are cancelled.
Commission from reinsurance ceded is recognised as income on ceding of reinsurance premium in the period of ceding
of risk. Profit commission under reinsurance treaties, wherever applicable, is recognised as income in the year of final
determination of profits as confirmed by reinsurers and combined with commission on reinsurance ceded.
Reserve for unexpired risk represent that part of net written premium which is attributable to and allocated to the
succeeding accounting periods. Reserve for unexpired risk is calculated on net written premium on all unexpired policies
at the balance sheet date based on 1/365th method for all segments, other than Health insurance policies with Health
241 Add ON cover. In Marine Hull business it is subject to a minimum of 100%.
In Health insurance policies with Health 241 Add ON cover; the unexpired risk is calculated on net written premium on
all unexpired policies at the balance sheet date based on:
a. 1/730 basis where there is no claim reported in the 1st year of policy
b. 1/365 basis where the claim is reported in the 1st year of policy

• Claims Incurred
Claims incurred comprise of claims paid (net of salvage and other recoveries), change in estimated liability for
outstanding claims made following a loss occurrence reported and estimated liability for claims Incurred But Not
Reported (IBNR) and claims Incurred But Not Enough Reported (IBNER). Further, claims incurred also include specific
claim settlement costs comprising survey fees, legal expenses and other directly attributable costs. Claims (net of
amounts receivable from reinsurers/coinsurers) are recognised on the date of intimation based on internal management
estimates or on estimates from surveyors/insured in the respective revenue account(s).
Estimated liability for outstanding claims at balance sheet date is recorded net of claims recoverable from / payable to
co-insurers / reinsurers, salvage to the extent there is certainty of realisation and other recoveries. Estimated liability
for outstanding claims is determined by the management on the basis of ultimate amounts likely to be paid on each
claim, established by the management in light of past experience and progressively modified for changes as appropriate,
on availability of further information and in cases where claim payment period exceeds four years based on actuarial
valuation. These estimates include claim settlement costs likely to be incurred to settle outstanding claims.
IBNR reserves are provisions for claims that may have been incurred during the accounting period but have not been
reported or claimed. The IBNR provision also includes provision, for claims that have been incurred but are not enough
reported (IBNER). The provision for IBNR and IBNER is based on actuarial estimate duly certified by the Appointed
Actuary of EGICL. The actuarial estimate is derived in accordance with relevant IRDAI regulations and Guidance Note GN
21 issued by the Institute of Actuaries of India. The Appointed Actuary has certified that the methodology and
assumptions used to estimate the liability are appropriate and in accordance with guidelines and norms issued by the
Institute of Actuaries of India in concurrence with the IRDAI regulations.
• Premium deficiency
Premium deficiency (‘PDR’) is recognised at segmental revenue account level, when the sum of expected net claim costs,
related expenses and maintenance costs (related to claims handling) exceed the reserve for unexpired risks. The
premium deficiency is calculated and duly certified by the Appointed Actuary.
6. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (FY 2021-22, FY 2020-21 & FY 2019-20)
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 5, the management is required to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered
to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in
the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods
if the revision affects both current and future periods.
F - 134
Edelweiss Financial Services Limited
Notes to the Reformatted Consolidated Financial Information (Continued)
Annexure V
The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that the management has made in the process of
applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the Reformatted
Consolidated Financial information.
Classification and measurement of financial assets depends on the results of the solely payments of principal and interest
(SPPI) and the business model test. The Group determines the business model at a level that reflects how groups of financial
assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. This assessment includes judgement reflecting all
relevant evidence including how the performance of the assets is evaluated and their performance is measured, the risks
that affect the performance of the assets and how these are managed and how the managers of the assets are
compensated. The Group monitors financial assets measured at amortised cost that are derecognised prior to their
maturity to understand the quantum, the reason for their disposal and whether the reasons are consistent with the
objective of the business for which the asset was held. Monitoring is part of the Group’s continuous assessment of whether
the business model for which the remaining financial assets are held continues to be appropriate and if it is not appropriate
whether there has been a change in business model and so a prospective change to the classification of those assets.
ECL is measured as an allowance equal to 12-month ECL for stage 1 assets, or lifetime ECL for stage 2 or stage 3 assets. An
asset moves to stage 2 when its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. In assessing whether the
credit risk of an asset has significantly increased the Group takes into account qualitative and quantitative reasonable and
supportable forward-looking information.
A structured entity is an entity that has been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding
who controls the entity, such as when any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and the relevant activities are
directed by means of contractual arrangements. In the context of the Group, structured entities comprise securitisation
trusts in asset reconstruction business, mutual fund schemes and alternative investment funds / schemes thereof. The
Group consolidates the structured entities that it controls. When making this judgement, the Group also considers voting
and similar rights available to itself and other parties, who may limit the Group’s ability to control, including rights to
appoint, reassign or remove members of the structured entity’s key management personnel who have the ability to direct
the relevant activities, the exposure to variability of returns and whether the Group has the ability to use its power to affect
the amount of the Group’s returns i.e. the variability of returns in relation to the total returns of the investee entity.
d. Determining lease term for lease contracts with renewal and termination option
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an
option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the
lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Group applies judgement in evaluating
whether it is reasonably certain, whether or not, to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all
relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement
date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control that
affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold
improvements or significant customisation of the leased asset).

Notes to the Reformatted Consolidated Financial Information (Continued)
Annexure V
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the
reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
within the next financial year, as described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the
Reformatted Consolidated Financial information were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments,
however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are
reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
The fair value of financial instruments is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions
(i.e., an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. When
the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets,
they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that include the use of valuation models. The inputs to these
models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, estimation is required in establishing
fair values.
For Investments made into Security receipts (SRs), Group uses discounted cash flow model, given that the SRs are less liquid
instruments. Expected cash flow levels including timing of cash flows are estimated by using quantitative and qualitative measures
regarding the characteristics of the underlying assets including default rates, nature and value of collaterals, manner of resolution
and other economic drivers. For any valuation which are based on models, Judgements and estimates are applied, which include
considerations of liquidity, credit risk (both own and counterparty), funding value adjustments, correlation and volatility.
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.
The Group’s ECL calculations are outputs of models with a number of underlying assumptions regarding the choice of variable inputs
and their interdependencies. Elements of the ECL models that are considered accounting judgements and estimates include:
• The Group’s criteria for assessing if there has been a significant increase in credit risk and so allowances for financial assets
should be measured on a life-time expected credit loss and the qualitative assessment
• The segmentation of financial assets when their ECL is assessed on a collective basis
• Development of ECL models, including the various formulas and the choice of inputs
• Determination of associations between macroeconomic scenarios and, economic inputs, such as unemployment levels and
collateral values, and the effect on PDs, EAD and LGD
• Selection of forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios and their probability weightings, to derive the economic inputs into
the ECL models
It is Group’s policy to regularly review its models in the context of actual loss experience and adjust when necessary.

Notes to the Reformatted Consolidated Financial Information (Continued)
Annexure V
The Group’s EIR methodology, as explained in Note 5.1, recognises interest income / expense using a rate of return that
represents the best estimate of a constant rate of return over the expected behavioural life of loans given / taken and
recognises the effect of characteristics of the product life cycle.
This estimation, by nature, requires an element of judgement regarding the expected behaviour and life-cycle of the
instruments, as well expected changes fee income/expense that are integral parts of the instrument.
The Group has recognised deferred tax assets on carried forward tax losses with respect to certain subsidiaries where the Group
believes that the said deferred tax assets shall be recoverable based on the estimated future taxable income which in turn is
based on approved business plans and budgets. The losses are allowed to be carried forward to the years in which the Group
expects that there will be sufficient taxable profits to offset these losses.

21. Goodwill on consolidation
The recoverable amount of subsidiaries/associates is based on its value in use. The value in use is estimated using discounted cash flows. Cash flows is estimated by capitalising the future
maintainable cash flows by an appropriate capitalisation rate and then discounted using pre-tax discount rate. Operating margins and growth rates for the five year cash flow projections have
been estimated based on past experience and after considering the financial budgets/forecasts provided by the management. The values assigned to the key assumptions represent
management’s assessment of future trends in the relevant industry and have been based on historical data from both external and internal sources.
The management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions would not cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount.
Goodwill acquired through business combinations has been allocated to following cash–generating unit (CGU), for impairment testing, as follows:

55. Share based payments: Employee Stock Option Plans and Stock Appreciation Rights Plans
Edelweiss Financial Services Limited ("EFSL" hereafter), has recognised share based payment expenses for the years ended 31 March 2022, 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2020 based on fair value as on the grant date calculated as per option pricing
model. The grants represent equity-settled options under the Employee Stock Option Plans and Stock Appreciation Rights Plans (hereafter referred to as, "ESOP 2011" and "SAR 2019" or "ESOPs" "SARs" ).
The EFSL has granted ESOPs under the two plans viz., ESOP 2011 & SAR 2019 to its employees on an equity-settled basis as tabulated below. The ESOPs/SARs provide a right to its holders (i.e., Edelweiss group employees) to purchase one EFSL share
for each option at a pre-determined strike price on the expiry of the vesting period. The ESOP/SAR hence represents an European call option that provides a right but not an obligation to the employees of the Edelweiss group to exercise the option
by paying the strike price at any time on completion of the vesting period, subject to an outer boundary on the exercise period.
EFSL has granted stock options to employees of the Edelweiss group on an equity-settled basis as tabulated below.
The vesting of options is subject to the employee's continued employment with the Edelweiss group. The ESOPs shall vest as follows:
Plan description

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the
measurement date under current market conditions (i.e., an exit price), regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique. In
order to show how fair values have been derived, financial instruments are classified based on a hierarchy of valuation techniques, as explained in Note 56.4
The Group's fair value methodology and the governance over its models includes a number of controls and other procedures to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to
ensure its quality and adequacy. All new product initiatives (including their valuation methodologies) are subject to approvals by various functions of the Group including the
risk and finance functions.
Where fair values are determined by reference to externally quoted prices or observable pricing inputs to models, independent price determination or validation is used. For
inactive markets, Company sources alternative market information, with greater weight given to information that is considered to be more relevant and reliable.
The responsibility of ongoing measurement resides with the business and product line divisions. However Finance department is responsible for establishing procedures
governing valuation and ensuring fair values are in compliance with accounting standards

Debt securities
Whilst most of these instruments are standard fixed or floating rate securities, however nifty linked debentures have embedded derivative characteristics. Fair value of these
instruments is derived based on the indicative quotes of price and yields prevailing in the market as at the reporting date. Group has used quoted price of national stock
exchange wherever bonds are traded actively. In cases where debt securities are not activity traded Group has used CRISIL Corporate Bond Valuer model for measuring fair
value.
Security receipts
The market for these securities is not active. Therefore, the Group uses valuation techniques to measure their fair values. Since the security receipts are less liquid instruments
therefore they are valued by discounted cash flow models. Expected cash flow levels are estimated by using quantitative and qualitative measures regarding the characteristics
of the underlying assets including prepayment rates, default rates and other economic drivers. Securities receipts with significant unobservable valuation inputs are classified
as Level 3.
Equity instruments
The majority of equity instruments are actively traded on recognised stock exchanges with readily available active prices on a regular basis. Such instruments are classified as
Level 1. Equity instruments in non-listed entities are initially measured at transaction price and re-measured at each reporting date at valuation provided by external valuer at
instrument level. Such unlisted equity securities are classified at Level 3

56.4. Fair valuation techniques (Continued) :
Derivatives
The Group enters into derivative financial instruments with various counter-parties, primarily banks with investment grade credit ratings. Derivatives valued using valuation
techniques with market observable inputs are mainly interest rate swaps, exchange traded futures and options contracts. The most frequently applied valuation techniques
include quoted price for exchange traded derivatives and Black Scholes models (for option valuation).
OTC derivatives:
Under Interest rate swap contract, the Company agrees to exchange the difference between fixed and floating rate interest amount calculated on agreed notional principal.
Such contracts enable the Company to mitigate the risk of changing interest rate. The fair value of interest rate swap is determined by discounting the future cash flows using
the curves at the end of year and the credit risk inherent in the contract. Company classify the Interest rate swaps as level 2 instruments.
Embedded derivatives
An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid instrument that also includes a non-derivative host contract with the effect that some of the cash flows of the combined
instrument vary in a way similar to a stand-alone derivative.
Group uses valuation models. Inputs to valuation models are determined from observable market (Indices) data wherever possible, including prices available from exchanges,
dealers, brokers. Group classify these embedded derivative as level 2 instruments.

During the year there were no transfers between level 1 and level 2. Similarly, there were no transfers from or transfer to level 3.
The following table sets out the fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value and analysing them by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which each fair value measurement is categorised. The information given below is
with respect to financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost for which the fair value is different than the carrying amount. Carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade and other payables as
on 31 March 2022, 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2020 approximate the fair value because of their short-term nature. Difference between carrying amounts and fair values of bank deposits, other financials assets and other financial liabilities
is not significant in each of the years presented.

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 Group's Reformatted consolidated financial informataion. These fair
values were calculated for disclosure purposes only. The below methodologies and assumptions relate only to the instruments in the above tables and, as such, may differ from the techniques as explained in Notes 56.4
The fair values financial assets measured at amortised cost are estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on contractual cash flows using actual or estimated yields and discounting by yields incorporating the counterparties' credit
risk.
Issued Debt
The fair value of issued debt is estimated by a discounted cash flow model.
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.

The Edelweiss Group ("The Group") provides a broad range of financial products and services to a substantial and diversified client base that includes corporations, institutions and
individuals. The Group's products and services span multiple asset classes and consumer segments across domestic and global geographies. The Group's key lines of business can
broadly be classified as below
o Capital
o Agency
The Group's diversified businesses act as an inherent risk management mechanism from an overall perspective. However, the prevailing market environment and ongoing
operations expose the Group to various risks like credit, market, liquidity, compliance, technology amongst others. As the Group is regulated, the presence of various regulators in
the financial industry - from RBI to NHB to SEBI to IRDA also exposes it to regulatory and reputation risks.
2. Board and Executive Level Committees to review and approve risk exposures
3. Risk Management framework to ensure each risk the Group is exposed to is given due importance and managed through a well-defined framework and guidelines
4. Standard Operating Procedures and Product approval framework to ensure risks are mitigated at operational level
6. Exception reporting framework to ensure process and policy deviations are adequately addressed
To support the risk strategy and ensure effective risk management, the Group has a "Three-tiered risk management structure" to ensure that there are enough defences are
available to control all types of risk issues. The risk structure is enumerated below:
o Respective Businesses - the first line of defence; they own and manage risks and are responsible for implementation of the risk management framework
o Business Risk teams - the second line of defence; they are responsible for overseeing risk events and defining the risk management framework
o Internal audit - the third line of defence; they provide independent assurance of risk management framework implementation
2. Board and Executive level Committees - for overseeing the risk management. The current Risk Management Committees are
The Board Risk Committee is the overseeing body for Risk Management. The Committee meets at regular intervals to review the risk profile of the Company.
The Investment and Credit Committee serve as the nodal bodies for all credit related decisions. Respective businesses have formulated its own Investment and Credit Committees
depending upon the scale of the exposure.
The businesses in the Group have a Risk Framework, which describes the risk management approach and provides clear accountability for managing risk considered appropriate
for the Business. The framework is subject to continuous evaluation based on existing internal as well external environment.
o Business Risk
o Credit Risk
o Market Risk
o Liquidity Risk
o Regulatory Risk
o Reputation Risk
o Technology Risk
o Fraud Risk
o People Risk

57.3. Risk management structure (Continued) :
The Businesses in the Group use different types of tools and techniques for mitigating risk, depending upon the type of risk and quantum. For example:
o Financial risks are mitigated through counterparty and client assessment before any exposure is taken, and defined product/program level risk limits to ensure exposure
does not exceed risk appetite. The Committee based approval mechanism is adopted to ensure that high exposures are approved with adequate representation and that
there is no bias in approvals.
o Non-financial risks viz technology, operational, fraud, etc are mitigated through process documentation defining clear ownership for each activity, having adequate
system/process level controls like maker-checker, reconciliation, testing and reviews.
o Enterprise level risks viz. reputation, compliance, regulatory, etc are controlled through policies and framework, educating employees through training and risk
socialisation sessions.
Governance framework
The core of the EGICL risk philosophy lies in the identification, measurement, monitoring and management of risk. EGCIL believe risk management is a continuous, vital process
that is an inalienable part of EGICL DNA. The Governance structure can thus be seen from three focal points:
1. The Business Users would form the First Line of defence. First Line of defence would ensure that risk and control environment is established into their day to day activities.
C. Report on the level of the risks and effectiveness of controls to the second line of defence on periodic basis
D. Respond to Regulatory/ Operational/ Business changes quickly and keep the second line of defence informed on the developments.
2. Risk Management, and Compliance team forms part of the Second Line of Defence. The second line of defence is oversight function and would provide direction and
guidance to the first line of defence for implementation of EGICL's Board driven policies. Second line of defence would also monitor implementation efficiency of these
policies and provide overall oversight to the business processes and risks.
3. Independent consultants/assurance providers like internal auditors, external auditors, statutory auditors, regulatory auditors etc. forms third line of defence and provides
independent assurance. consultants/assurance providers will have direct access to the Board of EGICL. The Statutory and Regulatory auditors would have independence as
per Statutory and Regulatory assurance framework of the country.
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDAI) vide its circular number IRDA/F&A/GDL/CG/100/05/2016 dated 18 May 2016 has issued Guidelines on Corporate
Governance for the Insurance Sector. Basis the circular, the following committees form part of the overall risk governance framework:
The Risk Management Committee is responsible for periodic review of the risk management process to ensure that the process initiatives are aligned to the desired objectives.
EGICL has Chief Risk Officer who is responsible for the implementation and monitoring of the framework. Further, the key policies adopted under the Risk Framework are as under:
o Underwriting Policy
o Investment Policy
o Reinsurance Program
o Outsourcing Policy
Regulatory framework
Regulators are primarily interested in protecting the rights of policyholders and monitor them closely to ensure that the EGICL is satisfactorily managing affairs for their benefit. At
the same time, regulators are also interested in ensuring that EGICL maintains an appropriate solvency position to meet unforeseeable liabilities arising from economic shocks or
natural disasters. The operations of EGICL are subject to regulatory requirement within the jurisdiction it operates.
o Quantify the extent of mismatch between the assets and liabilities and thereby prescribe appropriate measures to bridge the gap
Asset Valuation:
The analysis is carried out at an LOB level as per the IRDAI guidelines. If reserves held under any line of business fall below 5% of the total reserves as at the given valuation date
the corresponding line of business is excluded for the ALM exercise.

57.4. Risk management framework of General Insurance ("EGICL") (Continued)
Liability profiling:
UPR and PDR can be apportioned basis the policy term outstanding. Outstanding claims reserves and IBNR will be apportioned basis the expected reserve utilisation. Where data is
available the reserving techniques like Chain Ladder method can provide significant inputs on the development profile for the claims. Where data is not available, industry
benchmarks or assumptions related to the claims profile will be made to arrive at the suitable run off pattern for the liabilities. The emerging claims experience will be periodically
reviewed by the actuarial department to take into account any changes in the same.
Insurance risk
The principal risk, EGICL faces under insurance contracts, is that the actual claims payments or the timing thereof differ from expectations. This is influenced by the frequency of
claims, severity of claims, actual benefits paid and subsequent development of long-term claims. Therefore, the objective of EGICL is to ensure that sufficient reserves are available
to cover these liabilities.
EGICL has developed a risk strategy to manage the risks appropriately. EGICL's risk management strategy is to establish measures and controls which will assist in prevention,
detection and management of risks for strong risk management system. Such risk management system will identify risk at macro as well as micro level on ongoing basis.
The risk identification, assessment and evaluation activity is followed by defining appropriate action items for ensuring effective management of the risks. EGICL mitigates the risks
by careful section of the underwriting strategy, reinsure a part of the risk with various reinsurers, diversification of all insurance contracts and acquiring business from all parts of
the Country.
I. Product Pricing Risk: The loss ratios are assumed at the time of pricing the product. There is a risk of not pricing the products adequately due to model error/ data selection
or biases / lack of relevant data or inadequate underwriting assumptions leading to losses greater than anticipated.
III. Reinsurance Risk - EGICL enters into reinsurance agreements in order to mitigate insurance Risk. However, this leads to default Risk from the reinsurer at the time of claim
payment or also concentration risk if all the Risk is insured to one reinsurer.
IV. Investment Risk - Risk of loss arising from actual returns being different than expected. Credit risk due to investee enterprise defaulting on its debt payments.
V. Expense Risk - Risk of loss arising from expense experience being different than expected
VI. Concentration Risk - EGICL faces concentration Risk by selling business to specific geography or by writing only single line business etc.
Control Measures:
EGICL has set up Risk Management framework to continuously monitor EGICL's experience with regard to parameters like loss ratios and investment returns. The underwriting
team, with actuarial guidance, has set in place processes and procedures to review proposal.
EGICL has entered into a separate agreement with reinsurers to cover the catastrophic risks to hedge against catastrophic events leading to higher than expected claim payouts.
EGICL has been taking efforts so as to mitigate concentration risk through diversification. However, EGICL may still be exposed to channel concentration risk. The EGICL business is
spread across various key states in India to minimise any geographical concentration, accordingly, it also insulates EGICL from impact of catastrophic risk.

57.5. Risk management framework of Life Insurance business ("ETLIFE")
a. Governance framework
The primary objective of the ETLIFE's risk and financial management framework is to protect the ETLIFE's shareholders as well as policyholders from events that hinder the
sustainable achievement of financial performance objectives, including failing to exploit opportunities.
ETLIFE has an effective Risk Management Framework in place which provides for risk identification, risk assessment and evaluation, monitoring, tracking and feedback mechanism
framework to identify, evaluate business risks and opportunities.
ETLIFE has a risk balancing approach and follows the process of risk evaluation, monitoring and control. ETLIFE has structured and uniform method of risk monitoring and control
through the Risk and Control Self- Assessment (RCSA) Framework.
ETLIFE continuously reviews its risk exposures and takes measures to limit it to acceptable levels. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and
oversight of ETLIFE’s risk management framework. This is supplemented with the clear organizational structure and documented delegated authorities and responsibilities from
the board of directors to various executive management committees.
b. Capital management objectives, policies and approach
The primary source of capital used by ETLIFE is Equity. ETLIFE’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain
future development of the business. The capital requirements are routinely forecast on a periodic basis and assessed against both the forecast available capital and the expected
internal rate of return, including risk and sensitivity analysis. The process is ultimately subject to approval by the Board.
ETLIFE has established the following capital management objectives, policies and approach to managing the risks that affect its capital position:
• To comply with the insurance capital requirements that the IRDAI require. In this respect, the IRDAI has prescribed minimum solvency ratio of 150% (refer note on Capital
Management for solvency ratio);
• To maintain the required level of stability of ETLIFE, thereby providing a degree of security to policyholders
• To allocate capital efficiently and support the development of business by ensuring that returns on capital employed meet the requirements of its capital providers and
shareholders.
• To retain financial flexibility by maintaining strong liquidity and access to a range of capital markets
• To align the profile of assets and liabilities, taking account of risks inherent in the business
• To maintain financial strength to support new business growth and to satisfy the requirements of the policyholders, regulators and stakeholders
• To maintain strong credit ratings and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business objectives and maximise shareholders value
In reporting, financial strength, capital and solvency are measured using the rules prescribed by the Insurance Regulatory Authority of India (IRDAI). These regulatory capital tests
are based upon required levels of solvency, capital and a series of prudent assumptions in respect of the type of business written. ETLIFE’s Capital Management Policy for its
business is to hold sufficient capital to cover the statutory requirements based on the IRDAI directives and maintain a health solvency ratio.
c. Regulatory framework
Regulators are primarily interested in protecting the rights of policyholders and monitor them closely to ensure that the ETLIFE is satisfactorily managing affairs for the benefits of
policyholders. At the same time, regulators are also interested in ensuring that ETLIFE maintains an appropriate solvency position to meet unforeseeable liabilities arising from
economic shocks or natural disasters. The operations of ETLIFE are subject to regulatory requirement within the jurisdiction it operates.
ETLIFE uses Forward Rate agreements and Interest rate futures to minimise the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on plan assets and liabilities. ETLIFE has a Board approved
Derivative policy covering strategic objectives, limits, regulatory and operational framework. It underscores risks inherent in a derivative contract along with a system for
measurement and accounting in order to have effective monitoring and control.
Hedge effectiveness is determined based on the principles laid down in the Guidance note on Derivatives issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and relevant
applicable Ind-AS. ETLIFE uses regression analysis to determine Hedge effectiveness. If the hedge is ineffective, then the movement in the Fair Value is charged to the Profit and
Loss Account. However, if the hedge is effective, further the effective and ineffective portion of the movement in the Fair Value of the Underlying and the derivative instrument is
determined by the currency Offset method. The effective portion is transferred to ‘Fair Value change’ account in Balance Sheet and Ineffective portion is transferred to Profit and
Loss account.
a. Insurance risk
ETLIFE’s lines of business are Participating Life (Individual), Non-Participating Life (Individual and Company) and Unit Linked Life (Individual and Company). ETLIFE has presence in
Non-Participating Health (Individual), Non-participating Non-linked Variable Insurance (Company), Participating Pension (Individual), Unit Linked Pension (Individual) and Non-
Participating Annuity (Individual) business as well. By nature of the business, ETLIFE underwrites risks and provides financial protection. In doing so, ETLIFE is exposed to various
risks.
The principal risk, ETLIFE faces under insurance contracts, is that the actual claims and benefit payments or the timing thereof differ from expectations. This is influenced by the
frequency of claims, severity of claims, actual benefits paid and subsequent development of long–term claims. Therefore, the objective of ETLIFE is to ensure that sufficient
reserves are available to cover these liabilities.
ETLIFE has developed a risk strategy to manage the risks appropriately. ETLIFE’s risk management strategy is to establish measures and controls which will assist in prevention,
detection and management of risks for strong risk management system. Such risk management system will identify risk at macro as well as micro level on ongoing basis.
The risk identification, assessment and evaluation activity is followed by defining appropriate action items for ensuring effective management of the risks. An action item for all the
high risks is defined with clear owners and timelines. ETLIFE mitigates the risks by careful section of the underwriting strategy, reinsure a part of the risk with various reinsurers,
diversification of all insurance contracts and acquiring business from all parts of the Country.

57.5. Risk management framework of Life Insurance business ("ETLIFE") (Continued) :
b. Life Insurance Contracts and Investment Contracts with and without Discretionary Participation Features:
Ind AS 104 ‘Insurance Contracts’ requires ETLIFE to separate the Financial Instruments (investment contracts) from insurance contracts under specified conditions.
Insurance contracts are those contracts where ETLIFE has accepted significant insurance risk from the policyholders by agreeing to compensate the policyholders if a specified
uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholders. Insurance and investment contracts are further classified as being either with or without DPF. DPF is
a contractual right to receive, as a supplement to guaranteed benefits, additional benefits that are likely to be a significant portion of the total contractual benefits.
As a general guideline by IRDAI, ETLIFE classifies contract under insurance contract and investment contracts with DPF, if the benefit payable on death is higher by at least 5% of
the premium at any time during the life of the contract for other than unit linked products.
Once a contract has been classified as an insurance contract, it remains an insurance contract for the remainder of its lifetime, even if the insurance risk reduces significantly
during this period, unless all rights and obligations are extinguished or expire.
Investment contracts, however, can be reclassified as insurance contracts after inception if insurance risk becomes significant.
Control Measures:
ETLIFE has set up Risk Management framework to continuously monitor the ETLIFE’s experience with regard to parameters like policy lapses, premium persistency, maintenance
expenses and investment returns. The underwriting team, with actuarial guidance, has set in place processes and procedures to review proposal. Further, the possible financial
effect of adverse mortality and morbidity experience has been reduced by entering into re-insurance agreements with multiple re-insurers. ETLIFE has entered into a separate
agreement with reinsurers to cover the catastrophic risks under Individual and Group business to hedge against catastrophic events leading to higher than expected claim payouts.
ETLIFE has been taking efforts so as to mitigate concentration risk through diversification however ETLIFE may still be exposed to channel concentration risk as company is in 12th
year of operation and all the channels are not yet fully developed. ETLIFE has been acquiring business from all the parts of India and thus has little geographical concentration. It
also insulates ETLIFE from impact of catastrophic risk. ETLIFE has a Board approved Risk Management Policy covering underwriting, claims and reserving for policy liabilities. ETLIFE
has a detailed claims processing manual in place.
The large claims are referred to ETLIFE’s Claims Committee.
Operational risks:
Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from system failure, human error, fraud or external events. When controls fail to perform, operational risks can cause damage to
reputation, have legal or regulatory implications or can lead to financial loss. The ETLIFE, cannot expect to eliminate all operational risks, but by initiating a rigorous control
framework and by monitoring and responding to potential risks, the ETLIFE is able to manage the risks. Controls include effective segregation of duties, access controls,
authorisation and reconciliation procedures, staff education and assessment processes, including the use of internal audit. Business risks such as changes in environment,
technology and the industry are monitored through the ETLIFE’s strategic planning and budgeting process. Operational risk: A risk arising from this category is resultant of
inadequate or failed internal processes and controls, poor corporate governance or from external events such as sudden disasters crippling the operations of the ETLIFE.
Operational risks within the Company are categorized into 6 (six) types namely:
• Fraud
• Execution, delivery and process management
• Business disruption and system failures
• Clients, products and business practices
• Damage to physical assets
• Employment practices and workplace safety
Risk control and mitigation plan forms important part of the risk management processes within the ETLIFE . The ETLIFE's management ensures oversight on the risks by reviewing
data, processes and by performing model checks at regular frequencies. The Operational risk impact within the ETLIFE is rated basis frequency and severity matrix. Frequency and
severity matrix is further utilized for evaluation of the risk which in turn helps in prioritization. The ETLIFE , to ensures that complete data is being processed, reconciles number of
policies, premium and sum assured. The same is done by comparing Data Conversion System (DCS) output and on-off movement data as obtained from policy administration
system. The risk management team conducts an independent root cause analysis of operational risk incidents. Root cause analysis is followed by actual and potential risk exposure
assessment. The root cause analysis helps to identify inadequacies in the control measures for known risks or identify new risks which need to be addressed. The resultant learning
is then used to improve processes systematically.
The relevant businesses in the Group have diversified business model acts as an inherent mechanism to avoid excessive concentrations of risk.
Single and Group level borrower limits for wholesale lending and program level limits for retail lending have been defined as a proactive risk measure to avoid excess credit
concentration. The relevant businesses in the Group monitor these limits as part of its regular monitoring activity. Additionally, the risk team of relevant businesses in the Group
also keep track of Group, Industry, Collateral, Geography level exposure concentrations. These concentrations are periodically by the relevant businesses in the Group and also
discussed in the Credit Committee, so as to avoid further exposures or reduce exposures to sector/industry/group/geography under stress.

key lines of business can broadly be classified as below
o Franchise & Advisory (Wealth Management, Asset Management and Capital Markets)
o Asset reconstruction
o Treasury
The Group's diversified businesses acts as an inherent risk management mechanism. However, the prevailing market environment exposes the Group to various risks like
credit, market, liquidity, compliance, technology amongst others. As the Group is regulated various regulators in the financial industry - from RBI to NHB to SEBI to IRDA, it
also exposes it to regulatory and reputation risks.
57.2. Risk management strategy:
2. Board and Executive Level Committees to review and approve risk exposures
3. Risk Management framework to ensure each risk the Group is exposed to is given due importance and managed through a well-defined framework and guidelines
5. Well-defined Standard Operating Procedures and Product approval framework to ensure risks are mitigated at operational level
7. Exception reporting framework to ensure process and policy deviations are adequately addressed
To support the risk strategy and effective risk management, the Group have the "Four-tiered risk management structure" to ensure that there are enough defences
available to control all types of risk issues. The risk structure is enumerated below
o Respective Businesses and Business Risk teams - the first line of defense own and manage the risks and are responsible for implementation of the risk
management framework
o Group risk - the second line of defense and is responsible for overseeing the risk and defining the risk management framework
o Corporate Controller and audit - the third line of defense to provide independent assurance of risk management framework implementation
2. Board and Executive level Committees - for overseeing the risk management. The current Risk Management Committees are
The Board Risk Committee is the overseeing body for Risk Management at the Group level. The Committee meets on regular interval to review the risk profile of the
Company.
The Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Council and the Global Risk Committee serve as the Apex Risk bodies of the Group. The constituents include Chairman & CEO,
Executive Directors and Group Heads of Finance, Compliance, Technology, Risk, Corporate Services as its core members. The Committee meets regularly to identify,
evaluate and mitigate potential extreme risks and take risk management decisions in relation to strategic matters
The Investment and Credit Committee serve as the Apex bodies of the Group for all credit related decisions. Respective businesses has formulated its own Investment and
Credit Committees depending upon the exposure scale.
The Group has a Risk Framework, which describes the risk management approach and provides clear accountability for managing risk across the Group. The framework is
subject to continuous evaluation based on existing internal as well external environment.
The current "Eleven risk framework" covers the following vectors of risks
o Business Risk
o Credit Risk
o Market Risk
o Liquidity Risk
o Regulatory Risk
o Reputation Risk
o Technology Risk
o Fraud Risk

The Group uses different types of tools and techniques for mitigating risk, depending upon the type of risk and quantum. For example:
o Financial risks are mitigated through thorough counterparty, client assessment before any exposure is taken, and defined product/program level risk limits to
ensure exposure does not exceed risk appetite. Committee based approval mechanism is adopted to ensure high exposures are approved with adequate
representation and there is no bias in approvals.
o Non-financial risks viz technology, operational, fraud, etc are mitigated through process documentation defining clear ownership for each activity, having
adequate system/process level controls like maker-checker, reconciliation, testing and reviews.
o Enterprise level risks viz. reputation, compliance, regulatory, etc are controlled through policies and framework, educating employees through training and risk
socialisation sessions.
Governance framework
The core of EGICL risk philosophy lies in the identification, measurement, monitoring and management of risk. We believe that enough is never enough when it comes to
risk management: for us, it is a continuous, vital process that is an inalienable part of EGICL DNA.
Risk is therefore directly overseen at all levels in EGICL. The Governance structure can thus be seen from three focal points:
1. The Business Users would form the First Line of defence. First Line of defense would ensure that risk and control environment is established into their day to day
activities. This line of defense would also:
C. Report on the level of the risks and effectiveness of controls to the second line of defense on periodic basis
D. Respond to Regulatory/ Operational/ Business changes quickly and keep the second line of defense informed on the developments.
2. Risk Management, and Compliance team forms part of the Second Line of Defense. The second line of defense is oversight function and would provide direction
and guidance to the first line of defense for implementation of EGICL's Board driven policies. Second line of defense would also monitor implementation efficiency
of these policies and provide overall oversight to the business processes and risks.
3. Independent assurance providers like internal auditors, external auditors, statutory auditors, regulatory auditors etc. forms third line of defense and provides
independent assurance. Independent assurance function will have direct access to the Board of EGICL. Statutory and Regulatory auditors would have
independence as per Statutory and Regulatory assurance framework of the country.
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDAI) vide its circular number IRDA/F&A/GDL/CG/100/05/2016 dated 18 May 2016 has issued Guidelines on
Corporate Governance for the Insurance Sector. Basis the circular, the following committees form part of the overall risk governance framework:
The Risk Management Committee is responsible for periodic review of the risk management process to ensure that the process initiatives are aligned to the desired
objectives. EGICL has Chief Risk Officer who is responsible for the implementation and monitoring of the framework. Further, the key policies adopted under the Risk
Framework are as under:
o Underwriting Policy
o Investment Policy
o Reinsurance Program
o Outsourcing Policy
Regulatory framework
Regulators are primarily interested in protecting the rights of policyholders and monitor them closely to ensure that the EGICL is satisfactorily managing affairs for their
benefit. At the same time, regulators are also interested in ensuring that EGICL maintains an appropriate solvency position to meet unforeseeable liabilities arising from
economic shocks or natural disasters. The operations of EGICL are subject to regulatory requirement within the jurisdiction it operates.
o Quantify the solvency position under various stresses in terms of fall in equity markets, changes in interest rates, change in new business mix and volumes,
increase/decrease in loss ratios and expense ratios and other risks as deemed fit.
o Quantify the extent of mismatch between the assets and liabilities and thereby prescribe appropriate measures to bridge the gap
The analysis is carried out at an LOB level as per the IRDAI guidelines. If reserves held under any line of business fall below 5% of the total reserves as at the given
valuation date the corresponding line of business is excluded for the ALM exercise.

available, industry benchmarks or assumptions related to the claims profile will be made to arrive at the suitable run off pattern for the liabilities. The emerging claims
experience will be periodically reviewed by the actuarial department to take into account any changes in the same.
Insurance risk
The principal risk, EGICL faces under insurance contracts, is that the actual claims payments or the timing thereof differ from expectations. This is influenced by the
frequency of claims, severity of claims, actual benefits paid and subsequent development of long-term claims. Therefore, the objective of EGICL is to ensure that sufficient
reserves are available to cover these liabilities.
EGICL has developed a risk strategy to manage the risks appropriately. EGICL's risk management strategy is to establish measures and controls which will assist in
prevention, detection and management of risks for strong risk management system. Such risk management system will identify risk at macro as well as micro level on
ongoing basis.
The risk identification, assessment and evaluation activity is followed by defining appropriate action items for ensuring effective management of the risks. EGICL mitigates
the risks by careful section of the underwriting strategy, reinsure a part of the risk with various reinsurers, diversification of all insurance contracts and acquiring business
from all parts of the Country.
I. Product Pricing Risk: The loss ratios are assumed at the time of pricing the product. There is a risk of not pricing the products adequately due to model error/ data
selection or biases / lack of relevant data or inadequate underwriting assumptions leading to losses greater than anticipated.
III. Reinsurance Risk - EGICL enters into reinsurance agreements in order to mitigate insurance Risk. However, this leads to default Risk from the reinsurer at the time
of claim payment or also concentration risk if all the Risk is insured to one reinsurer.
IV. Investment Risk - Risk of loss arising from actual returns being different than expected. Credit risk due to investee enterprise defaulting on its debt payments
V. Expense Risk - Risk of loss arising from expense experience being different than expected
VI. Concentration Risk - EGICL faces concentration Risk by selling business to specific geography or by writing only single line business etc.
Control Measures:
EGICL has set up Risk Management framework to continuously monitor EGICL's experience with regard to parameters like loss ratios and investment returns. The
underwriting team, with actuarial guidance, has set in place processes and procedures to review proposal.
EGICL has entered into a separate agreement with reinsurers to cover the catastrophic risks to hedge against catastrophic events leading to higher than expected claim
payouts.
EGICL has been taking efforts so as to mitigate concentration risk through diversification however EGICL may still be exposed to channel concentration risk as EGICL
channels are not yet fully developed. EGICL has been acquiring business from all the parts of India and thus has little geographical concentration. It also insulates EGICL
from impact of catastrophic risk.
a. Governance framework
The primary objective of the ETLIFE's risk and financial management framework is to protect the ETLIFE's shareholders as well as policyholders from events that hinder the
sustainable achievement of financial performance objectives, including failing to exploit opportunities.
ETLIFE has an effective Risk Management Framework in place which provides for risk identification, risk assessment and evaluation, monitoring, tracking and feedback
mechanism framework to identify, evaluate business risks and opportunities.
ETLIFE has a risk balancing approach and follows the process of risk evaluation, monitoring and control. ETLIFE has structured and uniform method of risk monitoring and
control through the Risk and Control Self- Assessment (RCSA) Framework.
ETLIFE continuously reviews its risk exposures and takes measures to limit it to acceptable levels. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment
and oversight of ETLIFE’s risk management framework. This is supplemented with the clear organisational structure and documented delegated authorities and
responsibilities from the board of directors to various executive management committees.

c. Regulatory framework
Regulators are primarily interested in protecting the rights of policyholders and monitor them closely to ensure that the ETLIFE is satisfactorily managing affairs for their
benefit. At the same time, regulators are also interested in ensuring that ETLIFE maintains an appropriate solvency position to meet unforeseeable liabilities arising from
economic shocks or natural disasters. The operations of ETLIFE are subject to regulatory requirement within the jurisdiction it operates.
ETLIFE undertakes Asset Liability Management to reduce interest rate risk. The company uses expected future cashflows from already written policies and investments to
assess the interest rate risk. The ETLIFE enters into interest rate derivative contracts, solely to hedge the residual interest rate risk. Derivatives are financial instruments
which attempt to mimic the economic performance of an underlying asset, security or portfolio. Interest rate derivatives include forward rate agreement, interest rate
futures and Interest rate swaps.
ETLIFE uses Forward Rate agreements and Interest rate futures to minimise the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on plan assets and liabilities. ETLIFE has a Board
approved Derivative policy covering strategic objectives, limits, regulatory and operational framework. It underscores risks inherent in a derivative contract along with a
system for measurement and accounting in order to have effective monitoring and control.
Hedge effectiveness is determined based on the principles laid down in the Guidance note on Derivatives issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. ETLIFE
uses regression analysis to determine Hedge effectiveness. If the hedge is ineffective, then the movement in the Fair Value is charged to the Profit and Loss Account.
However, if the hedge is effective, further the effective and ineffective portion of the movement in the Fair Value of the Underlying and the derivative instrument is
determined by the Dollar Offset method. The effective portion is transferred to ‘Fair Value change’ account in reformatted Ind AS statement of assets and liabilities and
Ineffective portion is transferred to reformatted Ind AS statement of Profit and Loss account.
a. Insurance risk
ETLIFE’s main lines of business are Participating Life (Individual), Non-Participating Life (Individual and Company) and Unit Linked Life (Individual and Company). ETLIFE has
presence in Non-Participating Health (Individual), Non-participating Non-linked Variable Insurance (Company), Participating Pension (Individual), Unit Linked Pension
(Individual) and Non-Participating Annuity (Individual) business as well. By nature of the business, ETLIFE underwrites risks and provides financial protection. In doing so,
ETLIFE is exposed to various risks.
The principal risk, ETLIFE faces under insurance contracts, is that the actual claims and benefit payments or the timing thereof differ from expectations. This is influenced
by the frequency of claims, severity of claims, actual benefits paid and subsequent development of long–term claims. Therefore, the objective of ETLIFE is to ensure that
sufficient reserves are available to cover these liabilities.
ETLIFE has developed a risk strategy to manage the risks appropriately. ETLIFE’s risk management strategy is to establish measures and controls which will assist in
prevention, detection and management of risks for strong risk management system. Such risk management system will identify risk at macro as well as micro level on
ongoing basis.
The risk identification, assessment and evaluation activity is followed by defining appropriate action items for ensuring effective management of the risks. An action item
for all the high risks is defined with clear owners and timelines. ETLIFE mitigates the risks by careful section of the underwriting strategy, reinsure a part of the risk with
various reinsurers, diversification of all insurance contracts and acquiring business from all parts of the Country
b. Life Insurance Contracts and Investment Contracts with and without Discretionary Participation Features:
Ind AS 104 ‘Insurance Contracts’ requires ETLIFE to separate the Financial Instruments (investment contracts) from insurance contracts under specified conditions.
Insurance contracts are those contracts where ETLIFE has accepted significant insurance risk from the policyholders by agreeing to compensate the policyholders if a
specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholders. Insurance and investment contracts are further classified as being either with or
without DPF. DPF is a contractual right to receive, as a supplement to guaranteed benefits, additional benefits that are likely to be a significant portion of the total
contractual benefits.
As a general guideline by IRDAI, ETLIFE classifies contract under insurance contract and investment contracts with DPF, if the benefit payable on death is higher by at least
5% of the premium at any time during the life of the contract for other than unit linked products.

Control Measures:
ETLIFE has set up Risk Management framework to continuously monitor the ETLIFE’s experience with regard to parameters like policy lapses, premium persistency,
maintenance expenses and investment returns. The underwriting team, with actuarial guidance, has set in place processes and procedures to review proposal.
Further, the possible financial effect of adverse mortality and morbidity experience has been reduced by entering into re-insurance agreements with multiple re-insurers.
ETLIFE has entered into a separate agreement with reinsurers to cover the catastrophic risks under Individual and Group business to hedge against catastrophic events
leading to higher than expected claim payouts.
ETLIFE has been taking efforts so as to mitigate concentration risk through diversification however ETLIFE may still be exposed to channel concentration risk as company is
in 10th year of operation and all the channels are not yet fully developed. ETLIFE has been acquiring business from all the parts of India and thus has little geographical
concentration. It also insulates ETLIFE from impact of catastrophic risk.
ETLIFE has a Board approved Risk Management Policy covering underwriting, claims and reserving for policy liabilities. ETLIFE has a detailed claims processing manual in
place. Complicated and large claims are referred to ETLIFE’s Claims Committee.
Operational risks within the Company are categorized into 6 (six) types namely:
• Fraud
• Execution, delivery and process management
• Business disruption and system failures
• Clients, products and business practices
• Damage to physical assets
• Employment practices and workplace safety
• Employment
Risk practices
control and andplan
mitigation workplace safety
forms important part of the risk management processes within the Company. The Company ensures oversight on the risks by reviewing
data, processes and by performing model checks at regular frequencies. Operational risk impact within the Company is rated basis frequency and severity matrix.
Frequency and severity matrix is further utilized for evaluation of the risk which in turn helps in prioritization. The Company, to ensures that complete data is being
processed, reconciles number of policies, premium and sum assured. The same is done by comparing Data Conversion System (DCS) output and on-off movement data as
obtained from policy administration system.
The risk management team conducts an independent root cause analysis of operational risk incidents. Root cause analysis is followed by actual and potential risk exposure
assessment. The root cause analysis helps to identify inadequacies in the control measures for known risks or identify new risks which need to be addressed. The resultant
learning is then used to improve processes systematically.
Group's diversified business model acts as an inherent mechanism to avoid excessive concentrations of risk.
Single and Group level borrower limits for wholesale lending and program level limits for retail lending have been defined as a proactive risk measure to avoid excess
credit concentration. Business risk team monitor these limits as part of its regular monitoring activity. Additionally, the risk team also keeps track of Group, Industry,
Collateral, Geography (for retail) level exposure concentrations. These concentrations are reviewed as part of monthly risk review meetings and also discussed in the
Credit Committee, so as to avoid further exposures or reduce exposures to sector/industry/group/geography under stress.
On the trading portfolio, limit structures have been put in place to address potential concentration risks within each trading portfolio. Any exposure beyond the approved
limits and losses exceeding the VaR limits gets reported as an Exception to the Global Risk Committee and is monitored by the group and business risk teams.
The Company has a Board approved Risk Management Policy. The Company has a detailed claims processing manual in place.

The Business in the Group manages its credit risk through a multi-layered approach as given below:
2) The Investment Committees (IC) for approving all credit related decisions, beyond certain levels delegated to Credit Committees. Further, individual loan specific limits as well as concentration limits are
also approved by the IC and reviewed on a periodic basis;
3) The Business risk team is responsible for industry and portfolio level monitoring and stress testing;
4) Business risk does day to day client level monitoring; and
5) Independent verification of all client accounts, adherence to policies and frameworks are carried out by internal audit team.
The counterparty, client assessment is done before any exposure is taken. Assessment covers all the aspects of risk like Borrower profile, financials, and adequacy of collateral, promoter strength,
repayment capability and cash flow generation. Discussions are held with independent risk and compliance teams both at Business in the Group before the credit proposals are put forward to the
Committees for approval. The Business in the Group have committee-based approval process mechanism to ensure high exposures are approved with adequate representation from Compliance, Credit,
Legal and other relevant teams and there is no biasness.
The relevant Business in the Group has separate credit origination and appraisal processes for wholesale, distressed and retail segments. For wholesale and distressed segment, the relevant Business in the
Group adopt underwriting standards for different client segment based on risk parameter and availability of security. The relevant Business in the Group for Retail segment, adopt underwriting standards

is very important part of managing credit risk. Accordingly, the Business in the Group have independent monitoring of credit exposures and associated risks.
The asset quality review is also performed on a regular basis by the Risk Committees of the relevant Business in the Group. The quality credit portfolio is also presented to the Board Risk Committee on a
quarterly basis the relevant Business in the Group.
The Business in the Group applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss. For the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss ('ECL') the relevant Business in the Group has
used a practical expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. This expected credit loss allowance is computed based on a provision matrix which takes into account historical credit loss experience and
adjusted for forward-looking information.
The expected credit loss is a product of exposure at default, probability of default and loss given default. The Business in the Group have devised an internal model to evaluate the probability of default
and loss given default based on the parameters set out in Ind AS 109. Accordingly, the loans are classified into various stages for different type of business. For non-distress credit business they are
classified into Stage 1 – Standard Assets with zero to thirty days past due (DPD), Stage 2 – Significant Credit Deterioration or overdue between 31 to 90 days and Stage 3 – Default Assets with overdue for
more than 90 days. Further, ECL also takes into account forward looking factors like GDP growth, interest rates etc. along with historical trends.
The relevant Business in the Group determine that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used
to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used.
Credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to an entity in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash
shortfalls),discounted at the original EIR (or credit-adjusted EIR for purchased or originated credit impaired financial assets). Expected Credit Loss computation is not driven by any single methodology,
however methodology and approach used must reflect the following:
o An unbiased and probability weighted amount that evaluates a range of possible outcomes;
o Reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost and effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions;
o The time value of money.
While the time value of money element is currently being factored into ECL measurement while discounting cash flows by the Effective Interest Rate (EIR), the objective of developing a macroeconomic
model using exogenous macroeconomic variables (MEVs) is to address the first two requirements. This will be achieved by using the model output to adjust the PD risk component in order to make it
forward looking and probability-weighted.
The relevant Business in the Group have internal grading that is based on days past due (dpd) as specified below:
F - 214
Notes to the Reformatted Consolidated Financial information (Continued)
(Currency : Indian rupees in millions) Annexure V
Classification of assets form stage 1 to stage 2 has been carried out based on SICR criterion. The Financial Instrument (Customer accounts) which are more than 30 days past due have been identified as
accounts where significant increase in credit risk has been observed. These Financial Instrument (Customer accounts) have been classified as Stage 2 assets. As a part of a qualitative assessment of whether
a customer is in default, the Business in the Group also considers a variety of instances that may indicate unlikeliness to pay. When such events occur, the Business in the Group carefully considers whether
the event should result in treating the customer as defaulted and therefore assessed as Stage 3 for ECL calculations or whether Stage 2 is appropriate.
The respective Business in the Group management evaluates the credit situation continuously and the current credit assessment of borrowers is based on the following factors including many factors such
as;
1. Whether there is actual or expected significant change in the credit situation which entails significant increase in credit risk.
2. Whether there is existing or forecasted adverse changes in borrower’s business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change in the borrower’s ability to meet its debt
obligations.
3. Based on information available at present, whether in the longer term current adverse changes created by Covid-19 in economic and business conditions can reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its
obligations.
4. Whether there are any significant changes in the expected performance and behavior of the borrower.
5. Whether there are expected changes in the loan documentation, including an expected breach of contract that might lead to covenant waivers or amendments, interest payment holidays, interest rate
step-ups, requiring additional collateral or guarantees, or other changes to the contractual framework of the loan.
Reasonable and supportable information that is forward-looking and that is available without undue cost or effort is used by management to assess changes in credit risk. However, considering that the
current economic situation is continuously evolving, the management shall apply on regular basis any favorable or detrimental change to the borrower profiles and accordingly factor in macro/micro
variables that shall represent the evolved inherent credit risk.
Probability of Default
Probability of Default (PD) is an estimate of likelihood of default over a given time horizon. PD estimation process is done based on historical internal data available with the relevant Business in the Group.
While arriving at PD, the relevant Business in the Group also ensures that the factors that affects the macro-economic trends are considered to a reasonable extent, wherever necessary. The Business in
the Group calculates 12 months PD by taking in account the past historical trends of loan portfolio and its credit performance. In case of assets where there is significant increase in credit risk/credit
impaired assets, lifetime PD has been applied.
The LGD represents expected losses on the EAD given the event of default, taking into account, among other attributes, the mitigating effect of collateral value at the time it is expected to be realised and
the time value of money. The Loss Given Default (LGD) has been computed with workout methodology. Workout LGD is widely considered to be the most flexible, transparent and logical approach to build
an LGD model. Along with actual recoveries, value of the underlying collateral has been factored in to estimate future recoveries in LGD computation. Workout LGD computation involves the actual
recoveries as well as future recoveries (as a part of the workout process) on a particular facility, as a percentage of balance outstanding at the time of Default/Restructuring. The assessment of workout
LGD was then performed. Principal outstanding at NPA was assessed, which went into the denominator of the LGD calculation. LGD computation has been done for each segment and sub-segment
separately.
Exposure at Default (EAD)
The amount which the borrower will owe to the portfolio at the time of default is defined as Exposure at Default (EAD). While the drawn credit line reflects the explicit exposure for the Business in the
Group , there might be variable exposure that may increase the EAD. These exposures are of the nature where the Business in the Group provides future commitments, in addition to the current credit.
Therefore, the exposure will contain both on and off balance sheet values. The value of exposure is given by the following formula:
EAD = Drawn Credit Line + Credit Conversion Factor * Undrawn Credit Line
Where,
Credit Conversion Factor (CCF) = Expected future drawdown as a proportion of undrawn amount Undrawn Credit Line = Difference between the total amount which the Business in the Group has
committed and the drawn credit line While the drawn exposure and limits for the customer are available, the modelling of CCF is required for computing the EAD.
Purchased or originated credit impaired (POCI)
Financial assets that are purchased or originated at a deep discount that reflects the incurred credit losses are considered to be POCI. This population includes the recognition of a new financial instrument
following a renegotiation where concessions have been granted for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, that otherwise would not have been considered.
A measure of ECL is an unbiased probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes and using reasonable and supportable information that is available without
undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
To fulfil the above requirement Business in the Group have incorporated forward looking information into its measurement of ECL. The objective of developing a macroeconomic model using exogenous
macroeconomic variables (MEVs) is to address the requirements of unbiased, probability weighted outcomes while taking into account current conditions as well as future economic conditions. This will be
achieved by using the model output to adjust the PD risk component in order to make it forward looking and probability-weighted.

Predicted relationship between the key indicators and default and loss rates on various portfolios of financial assess have been developed based on analysing historical data over the past 5 years.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss the Group may face due to current/potential inability or unwillingness of a customer or counterparty to meet financial /contractual obligations. Credit risk also covers
the possibility of losses associated with diminution in the credit quality of borrowers or counterparties. The Group has adopted a policy of dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtains sufficient
collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. In case the loans are to be restructured, similar credit assessment process is followed by the Group.
The Group manages its credit risk through a multi-layered approach as given below
Counterparty, client assessment is done before any exposure is taken. Assessment covers all the aspects of risk like Borrower profile, financials, and adequacy of collateral, promoter strength, repayment
capability and cash flow generation. Discussions are held with independent risk and compliance teams both at Business and Group level before the credit proposals are put forward to the Committees for
approval. Group has committee based approval process mechanism to ensure high exposures are approved with adequate representation from Compliance, Credit, Legal and other relevant teams so as to
get a three sixty degree view on the proposal and there is no biasness.
The Group has separate credit origination and appraisal processes for wholesale, distressed and retail segments. For wholesale and distressed segment, the Group adopts underwriting standards for
different client segment based on risk parameter and availability of security. For Retail segment, Group adopts underwriting standards both at product and portfolio level.
The Group uses Early Warning Signal (EWS) framework to identify risks at nascent stage. The objective is to classify the credit book on severity of risk- standard, early stage, mid stage and high stress. The
classification of risk is done basis inputs from financial and non-financial parameter. An actionable matrix is defined, based on severity of the risk.
Credit monitoring is very important part of managing credit risk. Accordingly, the Group has dual layered independent monitoring of credit exposures and associated risks. A team of experienced and
competent professionals, at business level as well as group level, identify and monitor these risks on an on-going basis and evolve processes/systems to monitor and control the same to keep the risks to
minimum levels. On-going monitoring by them helps in identifying the risks at an early stage and taking time bound action to mitigate those risks.
Further, counterparty settlement risk associated in our broking business is managed by maintaining sufficient liquid collateral. We have well established real time limit utilisation monitoring process to
ensure cover is sufficient at any given point of time.
Asset quality review is also performed on a regular basis by the Global Risk Committee - the apex body for all risk related decisions. Credit Portfolio Health Check is also presented to the Board Risk
Committee on a quarterly basis.

However, considering that the current economic situation is continuously evolving, the management shall apply on regular basis any favorable or detrimental change to the borrower profiles and
accordingly factor in macro/micro variables that shall represent the evolved inherent credit risk.
Probability of Default
Historical DPD data is used to calculate historic default rates for each portfolio. This is done by using transition matrix which are calculated by assessing the transition from the one DPD state to the default
DPD state 12 months from the cohort date.
The LGD represents expected losses on the EAD given the event of default, taking into account, among other attributes, the mitigating effect of collateral value at the time it is expected to be realised and
the time value of money. The Loss Given Default (LGD) has been computed with workout methodology. Workout LGD is widely considered to be the most flexible, transparent and logical approach to build

separately.
The amount which the borrower will owe to the portfolio at the time of default is defined as Exposure at Default (EAD). While the drawn credit line reflects the explicit exposure for the Group, there might
be variable exposure that may increase the EAD. These exposures are of the nature where the Group provides future commitments, in addition to the current credit. Therefore, the exposure will contain
both on and off balance sheet values. The value of exposure is given by the following formula:
EAD = Drawn Credit Line + Credit Conversion Factor * Undrawn Credit Line
Where,
Credit Conversion Factor (CCF) = Expected future drawdown as a proportion of undrawn amount Undrawn Credit Line = Difference between the total amount which the Group has committed and the

A measure of ECL is an unbiased probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes and using reasonable and supportable information that is available without
undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
To fulfil the above requirement Group has incorporated forward looking information into its measurement of ECL. The objective of developing a macroeconomic model using exogenous macroeconomic
variables (MEVs) is to address the requirements of unbiased, probability weighted outcomes while taking into account current conditions as well as future economic conditions. This will be achieved by
using the model output to adjust the PD risk component in order to make it forward looking and probability-weighted.
Exogenous macroeconomic parameters were used as independent (X) variables to predict the dependent (Y) variable. Keeping in mind Ind AS requirements around obtaining reliable and supportable
information, without incurring undue cost or effort- based on advice of risk committee members and economic experts and consideration of a variety of external actual and forecast information, the group
formulates base case view of the future direction of relevant economic variable as well as a representative range of other possible forecast scenario. This process involves developing two or more
additional economic scenarios and considering the relative probabilities of each outcome.
Data sourcing: External information includes economic data and forecasts published by governmental bodies and monetary authorities in the country, supranational organisations such as the OECD and
the IMF, and selected private sector and academic forecasters. Macroeconomic information was aggregated from Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU), Bloomberg, World Bank, RBI database. The EIU data has
a database of around 150 macroeconomic variables as well as their forecasted values. Beyond 2022 macro-economic variables are forecasted by mean reverting the values to their long term average.
Probability weighted scenario creations: To incorporate macroeconomic impact into probability-weighted, each scenario has an associated probability. In order to ensure consistency across
macroeconomic models, these probabilities were calculated at an overall level for both Retail and Non-Retail portfolios, keeping in mind that though the impact of a scenario across different portfolios may
differ based on endogenous factors, the probability of a scenario unfolding is purely exogenous, and hence should not vary.
The group has identified and documented key drivers of credit risk and credit losses for each portfolio of financial instruments and using an analysis of historical data, has estimated relationship between
macro-economic variables and credit risk and credit losses.
Apart from the above significant economic parameters, the Group has also identified and used few other economic parameter to build up the forward looking scenarios. These indicators include inflation,
forecasted growth in real estate sector, expectation of industry performance, collateral coverage movement, conduct of accounts and expectation of market liquidity.
Above explained indicators have supported in measurement of ECL, and behaviours of such indicators will suitably support going forward in measurement of forward looking scenarios.
Predicted relationship between the key indicators and default and loss rates on various portfolios of financial assess have been developed based on analysing historical data over the past 5 years.

Liquidity risk emanates from the mismatches existing on the balance sheet due to differences in maturity and repayment profile of assets and liabilities. These mismatches could either be
forced in nature due to market conditions or created with an interest rate view. Such risk can lead to a possibility of unavailability of funds to meet upcoming obligations arising from liability
maturities. To avoid such a scenario, Edelweiss has ensured maintenance of a Liquidity Cushion in the form of Fixed Deposits, Mutual Funds, Cash, G-Sec, etc. These assets carry minimal
credit risk and can be liquidated in a very short period of time. A liquidity cushion amounting to 10-12% of the borrowings is sought to be maintained through such assets. These would be to
take care of immediate obligations while continuing to honour our commitments as a going concern. There are available lines of credit from banks which are drawable on notice which
further augment the available sources of funds. Funding is raised through diversified sources including Banks, Retail issue, Mutual Funds, ECB, Sub Debt etc to maintain a healthy mix.
Group has a Liquidity Contingency Policy in place to ensure various liquidity parameters are defined and tracked regularly. Liquidity Management Team is provided with update on expected
liquidity shortfalls in Normal as well as Stress scenario. A detailed set of activities have been defined to be executed during stress scenario
57.8.1. Analysis of financial liabilities, financial assets, derivatives and financial commitments by remaining contractual maturities
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the undiscounted cash flows of the Group's financial liabilities, financial assets, derivatives and financial commitments as at 31 March.
The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows i.e. the tables include both interest and principal cashflows. The contractual maturity with respect to financial liabilities
is based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. To the extent that interest flows are at floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived based on the interest rates
in force at the balance sheet date. Further, with regards to amounts payable in currencies other than Indian Rupees, the amounts are determined based on the spot exchange rates at the
balance sheet date. The analysis with respect to financial assets is based on expected maturities. All derivatives which are entered into for trading purposes are shown in the earliest time
band. With respect to other derivatives, the remaining contractual maturity information has been given based on undiscounted cash flows.

Market risk is the risk which can affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments due to adverse movements in market prices of instrument
due to interest rates, equity prices, foreign exchange rates and credit spreads. The objective of the Group's market risk management is to manage and control market
risk exposures within acceptable parameters. The Group separates its exposure to market risks between trading and non-trading portfolios.
Interest rate risk - The principal risk to which non-trading portfolios are exposed is the risk of loss from fluctuations in the future cash flows or fair values of financial
instruments because of a change in market interest rates. Interest rate risk is managed principally through monitoring interest rate gaps and by having pre-approved
limits for repricing bands.
ALCO is the monitoring body for compliance with these limits. ALCO reviews the interest rate gap statement and the mix of floating and fixed rate assets and liabilities.
Balance Sheet Management Unit is in-charge for day to day management of interest rate risk.
Foreign exchange risk - Our foreign exposure is limited to capital investment in our Group entities outside India and profits/loss generated by these entities. The
Treasury Unit aggregates the foreign exchange exposure emerging out these outflows/inflows and the same is hedged to ensure we do not run any foreign exchange risk
in our books. Positions are regularly monitored by the Treasury Unit and rebalanced based on the inflow and outflow of funds.
Equity price risk - The Treasury and Balance Sheet Management Units effectively evaluates various risks involved in underlying assets in trading and non-trading books
respectively
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair values of financial instruments. The Group's policy is to
monitor positions on a daily basis and hedging strategies are used to ensure positions are maintained within the established limits.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates (all other variables being constant) of the Group's statement of profit
and loss and equity. The sensitivity to profit before tax is the effect of the assumed changes in interest rates on the profit before tax for the year, based on the floating
rate financial assets and financial liabilities held at reporting date. Thus, the sensitivity analysis has been prepared assuming the amount of the floating-rate financial
liability and financial assets outstanding at the end of the year was outstanding for the whole year. The sensitivity of equity is calculated by revaluing the fixed rate
FVOCI, including the effect at reporting date for the effects of the assumed changes in interest rates.

d. Key Assumptions
Liabilities for life insurance policies are determined by the Appointed Actuary in accordance with the IRDAI regulations and relevant actuarial practice standards & guidance notes issued by the Institute of Actuaries of India. For Linked business (UL), separate unit and non-unit
reserve is maintained. The unit reserve is the current value of the assets underlying the unit funds and the non-unit reserve is kept to meet the liabilities due to the cost of insurance, expenses, commissions etc. in excess of future charges. For discontinued policies under UL
products the fund is transferred to a separate discontinuance fund as per IRDAI regulations and the same has been kept as reserves. Further, for the discontinuance polices, the non-unit reserves are also kept.
The reserves/ liabilities under non-linked business is calculated using a prospective gross premium method of valuation. The reserves are established having regard to the assumptions as to future experience, including the interest rate that will be earned on premiums not yet
received and future bonus rates for participating business. Assumptions as to the future bonus rates are set to be consistent with the interest rate assumptions. For participating policies, the valuation interest rate used is 6.00% (no change from last year). For non-par policies,
the valuation interest rate ranges between 5.58% - 6.75% (no change from last year) for the first 5 years and 4.00% - 6.00% (no change from last year) thereafter (for annuity, 2% assumed for year greater than 50 years).
The lapse assumptions are based on various factors namely the actual experience, credibility of the experience, pricing assumptions, trend from actual experience and consistency from past year’s assumptions. For lapsed policies, revival reserves are maintained (till the policies
are within the revival year) assuming 10.00% (previous year 10.00%) of them will get revived.
Mortality assumptions are set with reference to the published IALM (2012-2014) Ultimate Mortality Table. The mortality assumptions are based on various factors namely the actual experience, credibility of the experience, pricing assumptions, trend from actual experience and
consistency from past year’s assumptions. For annuity product, mortality rates are set with reference to the IIAM 12-15 - Indian Individual Annuitant Mortality Table (2012-15). Assumptions for morbidity and incidence of accidental death are based on terms available from
reinsurers and the standard morbidity rate table CIBT 93 (Critical Illness Base Table for year 93).
Assumptions for future expenses are considered as per the file & use assumptions (which are derived from long term business plan of the Company) or similar existing product assumptions and these expenses escalated each year by 5.00% p.a. (FY 2020-21: 5.00% and FY 2019-
20: 5%) to allow for inflation. An additional reserve has been included to allow for the contingency of closure to new business and to cover maintenance expense overrun.
Commission has been allowed for at the rates specified in the products file and use.
Further it has been ensured that for each policy the reserve is sufficient to pay the surrender value.
For participating products, terminal bonuses are provisioned such that the reserves are at least equal to asset share at product level.
The provisions have been made for incurred but not reported death claims (IBNR), free look reserve, unearned premium reserve of the extra premium collected etc.
Free look assumption has been set based on the actual cancellation experience observed by the company for all lines of business, trend of the experience in the last few years and consistency of the rate in comparison to the past year. The assumption of free look rate is set at
4% this year (no change from last year).
For riders, both unearned premium and gross premium reserves are calculated and the higher of these two is held as reserve. For OYRGTL plan (One Year Renewable Group Term Life), the Unearned Premium Reserve is calculated as premium for the unexpired duration. In
addition, the premium deficiency reserve and IBNR is also kept for OYRGTL.
The Company has continued to provision for additional margin for adverse deviation (MAD) to mitigate the risk due to Covid-19 pandemic risk under Actuarial Liability. Further, the Company has kept additional Covid-19 related provision in anticipation of elevated COVID related
claims.

** Mortality rates (excluding annuity products) are expressed as % of Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2012-14) and for annuity it is expressed as % of IIAM 12-15 - Indian Individual Annuitant Mortality Table (2012-15). Further in Annuity plans, Mortality improvement of 1% per
annum till attained age of 64 and 0.5% per annum thereafter has been assumed from the current rates.
*** Under Unit linked, for unit growth rate (i.e. Investment return) weighted average growth rate of various unit funds is used.
**** The value of future expenses has been derived to allow for all the future maintenance expenses as applicable namely fixed per policy, renewal premium (0%-2%)/ commission (0%-25%) related, fund (0%-0.25%) related etc. The limits for fixed per policy expenses are as
mentioned above in the table.

e. Sensitivity Analysis
The following analysis is performed for reasonably possible movements in key assumptions with all other assumptions held constant, showing the impact on gross liabilities.
The correlation of assumptions will have a significant effect in determining the ultimate claims liabilities, but to demonstrate the impact due to changes in assumptions, assumptions had to be changed on an individual basis. It should be noted that movements in these
assumptions are non–linear. The method used for deriving sensitivity information and significant assumptions made did not change from the previous year. The sensitivities are same as shared with Regulators during annual reporting.

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak across the world including India has resulted in most countries announcing lockdowns and quarantine measures that have sharply stalled
economic activities across the world. The Indian Government too has imposed lockdowns starting from 24 March 2020. Subsequently, the national lockdown was lifted by the
government for certain activities in a phased manner outside specified containment zones, but regional lockdowns/restrictions continued to be implemented in areas with a
significant number of COVID-19 cases. The Indian economy is impacted and would continue to be impacted by this pandemic and the resultant lockdown, due to the contraction
in industrial and services output across small and large businesses. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic , including the current “second wave” on Group’s results, including
credit quality and provisions, gain/loss on fair value changes, investment, remains uncertain and dependent on the current and further spread of COVID-19, steps taken by the
government, RBI and other regulators to mitigate the economic impact and also the time it takes for economic activities to resume and reach the normal levels. Further, the
Group has assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its liquidity and ability to repay its obligations as and when they are due. Management has considered various
financial support from banks and other fundraising opportunities in determining the Group liquidity position over the next 12 months. Based on the foregoing and necessary
stress tests considering various scenarios, management believes that the Group will be able to pay its obligations as and when these become due in the foreseeable future. In
assessing the recoverability of loans, receivables, deferred tax assets and investments, the Group has considered internal and external sources of information, including credit
reports, economic forecasts and industry reports up to the date of approval of these reformatted consolidated financial information. Since the situation continue to evolve, its
effect on the operations of the Group may be different from that estimated as at the date of approval of these reformatted consolidated financial information. The Group will
continue to closely monitor material changes in markets and future economic conditions.

The Covid-19 pandemic outbreak across the world including India has resulted in most countries announcing lockdowns and quarantine measures that have sharply stalled
economic activity. The Indian Government too has imposed lockdowns starting from 24 March 2020. The Indian economy would be impacted by this pandemic and the resultant
lockdown, due to the contraction in industrial and services output across small and large businesses. The impact of the COVID -19 pandemic on Group’s results, including credit
quality and provisions, remains uncertain and dependent on the current and further spread of COVID -19, steps taken by the government and the RBI to mitigate the economic
impact and also the time it takes for economic activities to resume and reach the normal levels.
In accordance with the regulatory package announced by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on 27 March 2020 and 17 April 2020 the Group has granted a moratorium of 3 months
and extended the same for a further period of 3 months in accordance with the announcement by the RBI on 22 May 2020 for the payment of all instalments falling due
between 01 March 2020 and August 31, 2020 to all eligible borrowers that have opted to avail the same. In respect of accounts overdue but standard as at 29 February 2020
where moratorium benefit has been granted, the staging for the accounts is based on staging existing as at that date. As per the assessment done by the Group, this staging
standstill has not been on its own considered to be triggering any substantial increase in credit risk. Based on the assessment of the Group, in the absence of other credit risk
indicators, the granting of the moratorium does not itself result in accounts becoming past due and triggering Stage 2 and Stage 3 classification criteria.
The Group has assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its liquidity and ability to repay its obligations as and when they are due. Management has considered various
stimulus packages announced by the Government of India which will directly or indirectly benefit NBFCs and outcome of definitive agreement for sale of loans, Group’s lenders
to extend moratorium and various other financial support from other banks, agencies and its parent entity in determining the Group’s liquidity position over the next 12 months.
Based on the foregoing and necessary stress tests considering various scenarios, management believes that the Group will be able to pay its obligations as and when these
become due in the foreseeable future. The Group would continue to focus on maintaining adequate capital and ensuring liquidity during current period and for the period going
forward.
In assessing the recoverability of loans, receivables, intangible assets (including goodwill), deferred tax assets, investments and investment properties, the Group has considered
internal and external sources of information, including credit reports, economic forecasts and industry reports up to the date of approval of these financial results. Group has
also considered the impact of COVID – 19 pandemic while estimating the recoverability during the year 31 March 2020. Since the situation is rapidly evolving, its effect on the
operations of the Group may be different from that estimated as at the date of approval of these reformatted consolidated financial information. The Group will continue to
closely monitor material changes in markets and future economic conditions.

Review Report to
The Board of Directors
Edelweiss Financial Services Limited
2. The Company’s Management is responsible for the preparation of the Statement in accordance with
the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, (Ind AS 34)
“Interim Financial Reporting” prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 as
amended, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 and 52 of the Listing Regulations. The
Statement has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to express
a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.
3. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements
(SRE) 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the
Entity” issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we
plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of
material misstatement. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries,
primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and
other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance
that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit.
Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
4. Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe
that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement
principles laid down in the aforesaid Ind AS 34 prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies
Act, 2013 as amended, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of
the Listing Regulations, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any
material misstatement.
5. We draw attention to note 5 of the Statement, which describes the economic and social disruption
as a result of the continued COVID-19 pandemic of the Company's business and financial metrics
including the Company’s estimates of impairment of investments and other financial assets, which
are highly dependent on uncertain future developments.
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report on the Quarterly Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results of the
Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements)
Regulations, 2015, as amended
Review Report to
The Board of Directors
Edelweiss Financial Services Limited
2. The Holding Company’s Management is responsible for the preparation of the Statement in accordance
with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, (Ind AS
34) “Interim Financial Reporting” prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 as amended,
read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India
and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. The Statement has been approved by
the Holding Company’s Board of Directors . Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement
based on our review.
3. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements
(SRE) 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the
Entity” issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan
and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material
misstatement. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing
and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant
matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
We also performed procedures in accordance with the Circular No. CIR/CFD/CMD1/44/2019 dated March
29, 2019 issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing
Regulations, to the extent applicable.
4. The Statement includes the results of the subsidiaries, trusts and associates (refer Annexure A)
5. Based on our review conducted and procedures performed as stated in paragraph 3 above and based on
the consideration of the review reports of other auditors referred to in paragraph 7 below, nothing has
come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in
accordance with recognition and measurement principles laid down in the aforesaid Ind AS 34 prescribed
under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended, read with relevant rules issued thereunder
and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required
to be disclosed in terms of the Listing Regulations, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or
that it contains any material misstatement.
6. We draw attention to Note 8 to the statement, which describes the economic and social disruption as a
result of the continued COVID-19 pandemic of the Group's business and financial metrics including the
Group’s estimates of impairment of loans, financial assets, investment properties, investments,
intangible assets (including goodwill) and in case of life insurance business, estimate of claims which are
highly dependent on uncertain future developments.
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
7. The accompanying Statement includes the unaudited financial results and other financial information, in
respect of:
a) 30 subsidiaries, whose unaudited financial results include total revenues of Rs. 1,243.58 crores,
total net profit after tax of Rs. 11.78 crores and total comprehensive loss of Rs. 97.98 crores, for
the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as considered in the Statement which have been reviewed by their
respective independent auditors.

to the amounts and disclosures in respect of these subsidiaries and associates is based solely on the
report of such auditors and procedures performed by us as stated in paragraph 3 above.

reported that the actuarial valuation of liabilities of ETLIFE for life policies in force and for policies
in respect of which premium has been discontinued but liability exists as at June 30, 2022 is the
responsibility of ETLIFE’s Appointed Actuary. The actuarial valuation of these liabilities for life
policies in force and for policies in respect of which premium has been discontinued but liability exists
as at June 30, 2022 has been duly certified by the ETLIFE 's Appointed Actuary and in his opinion,
the assumptions for such valuation are in accordance with Ind AS 104 "Insurance Contracts", Ind
AS 109 "Financial Instruments", the guidelines and norms issued by the Insurance Regulatory and
Development Authority of India ('IRDAI') and the Institute of Actuaries of India in concurrence with

8 The Group has considered the possible effects that may result from the pandemic relating to COVID-19 on the carrying amounts of loans, receivables,
intangibles, investments and other assets and repayment ability of its borrowers. In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties
in the economic conditions because of this pandemic, the Group has used internal and external sources of information. The Group has assessed the impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic on its liquidity and ability to repay its obligations as and when they are due. The Group has considered various financial support
from banks and other fund-raising opportunities in determining the Group’s liquidity position over the next 12 months. The Group has reviewed the
assumptions used and based on current estimates expects the carrying amount of these assets will be recovered. The impact of COVID-19 on the Group’s
financial results may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these financial results and the Group will continue to closely monitor any
material changes to future economic conditions.
9 Edelweiss Custodial Services Limited ("ECdSL"), a associate of the Company challenged an order, by an investigating agency, marking lien on its clearing
account, before the 47th Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Mumbai. Since the investigation against Anugrah Stock and Broking Pvt. Ltd.

lien order, upon ECdSL providing an undertaking to keep sufficient assets unencumbered.
ECdSL has provided undertaking to keep sufficient unencumbered assets amounting to ` 460.32 crores belonging to the Group and associate and the said
lien order has been set aside. The matter has been listed for further hearing and there is no further update on this matter during the quarter.
The MCSGF Committee of NSE Clearing Limited (“NCL”) vide its order dated 20 October 2020 has directed ECdSL to adhere to instructions of National
Stock Exchange (“NSE”) / NCL, to appropriately reinstate the securities wherever trading member’s clients had credit balance, but the securities got
liquidated. ECdSL filed an appeal against the impugned order with Securities Appellate Tribunal (“SAT”). SAT vide its order dated 05 November 2020 has
directed ECdSL to give an undertaking to NCL that it will deposit ` 212 crores or other amount as directed by the SAT after disposal of Appeal. ECdSL has
provided the declaration to NCL. The matter has been listed for further hearing and there is no further update on this matter during the quarter.
Various Arbitration/Writ Petitions have been filed before the Hon’ble Bombay High Court (“Hon’ble Court”) by various end clients of the trading member
against trading member and its associates. ECdSL has been made party to the same. All the Writ Petitions have been tagged together and common orders
have been passed. The matters are yet to be listed for further hearing.
One of the customer of Anugrah had filed the FIR Complaint at Police station at Hyderabad against its Stock Broker i.e. Anugrah and its affiliates Teji
Mandi. ECdSL has been made party to the same. ECdSL, has received notice from Police Station at Hyderabad to provide certain information/documents
related to the matter and all the information/documents are provided till date by ECdSL.

regulations. Accordingly, there is no adjustment required in the financial results of the Group for the quarter ended 30 June 2022.

the purpose of de-recognition of such financial assets from the subsidiary financial results. The Company had undertaken substantially all risks and rewards
in respect of such financial assets. As a result, these financial assets were de-recognized in the subsidiary financial results. Based on assessment of
probability of default, loss given default in respect of these financial assets and in light of various factors viz. exposures to certain sectors and assessment

than one month prior to the redemption date so as to facilitate timely payment.
We may at our discretion redeem the NCDs without the requirement of surrendering of the NCD certificates by the

Application. For the purposes of allotment of NCDs under this Tranche II Issue, Applications shall be grouped based
on the PAN, i.e., Applications under the same PAN shall be grouped together and treated as one Application. Two or
more Applications will be deemed to be multiple Applications if the sole or first Applicant is one and the same. For

As per the SEBI Operational Circular, the allotment in this Tranche II Issue is required to be made on the basis of date
of upload of each application into the electronic book of the Stock Exchange. However, on the date of oversubscription
and thereafter, the allotments should be made to the applicants on proportionate basis.
(b) Under Subscription: If there is any under subscription in any Category, priority in Allotments will be given to the
Retail Individual Investors Portion, High Net Worth Individual Investors Portion, and balance, if any, shall be first
made to applicants of the Non-Institutional Portion, followed by the Institutional Portion on a first come first serve

undersubscription in each Portion, all valid Applications received till the end of last day of the Issue Closure day shall
be grouped together in each Portion and full and firm Allotments will be made to all valid Applications in each Portion.
(c) For each Category, all Applications uploaded on the same day onto the electronic platform of the Stock Exchange

280
will be made on a first-come first-serve basis and thereafter on proportionate basis, i.e. full allotment of the NCDs to

In case of an oversubscription in all Portions resulting in an oversubscription in the Tranche II Issue Limit, Allotments
to the maximum permissible limit, as possible, will be made on a first-come first serve basis and thereafter on
proportionate basis, i.e. full allotment of the NCDs to the Applicants on a first come first basis up to the date falling 1
(one) day prior to the date of oversubscription to respective Portion and proportionate allotment of NCDs to the
Applicants on the date of oversubscription and thereafter in respective Portion (based on the date of upload of each

(f) Proportionate Allotments: For each Portion, on the date of oversubscription and thereafter:
i. Allotments to the Applicants shall be made in proportion to their respective Application size, rounded off to the
nearest integer.
ii. If the process of rounding off to the nearest integer results in the actual allocation of NCDs being higher than
the Tranche II Issue Limit, not all Applicants will be allotted the number of NCDs arrived at after such rounding
off. Rather, each Applicant whose Allotment size, prior to rounding off, had the highest decimal point would be
given preference.
iii. In the event, there are more than one Applicant whose entitlement remain equal after the manner of distribution
referred to above, our Company will ensure that the basis of allotment is finalised by draw of lots in a fair and
equitable manner.
(g) Applicant applying for more than one Series of NCDs: If an Applicant has applied for more than one Series of NCDs
and in case such Applicant is entitled to allocation of only a part of the aggregate number of NCDs applied for, the
Series-wise allocation of NCDs to such Applicants shall be in proportion to the number of NCDs with respect to each
Series, applied for by such Applicant, subject to rounding off to the nearest integer, as appropriate in consultation with
the Lead Manager and the Designated Stock Exchange. Further, in the aforesaid scenario, wherein the Applicant has

Refer to Annexure for Details of Instruments & Bank Facilities
Detailed Rationale
CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed its rating on the Retail bonds, long-term debt instruments and bank facilities of Edelweiss
Financial Services Ltd (EFSL) to ‘CRISIL AA-/CRISIL PP-MLD AA-r/Negative/CRISIL A1+’.
The ratings continue to reflect the adequate capitalisation level of the group, supported by multiple rounds of capital raising;
the diversified business profile with presence across lending, asset management, wealth management, broking, asset
reconstruction and insurance segments; and demonstrated ability to build significant presence in multiple lines of business,
which should continue to support earnings. The group also maintains adequate liquidity on an ongoing basis.
The continuation of the ‘Negative’ outlook reflects the challenges in profitability and asset quality that the group has been
facing largely on account of stress on its wholesale lending book. The retail lending book was also impacted amid the
Covid-19 pandemic. Trends in profitability and asset quality, over the medium term, will be key monitorables.
Despite the challenging macro environment for non-banking companies, the group has been able to raise capital from
marquee global investors. During the last quarter of fiscal 2021, the group concluded the sale of its majority stake in
Edelweiss Wealth Management (EWM; comprising wealth management and capital markets business) to PAG (Pacific
Alliance Group, Asia-focused alternative investment managers) for Rs 2,366 crore. As on December 31, 2021, PAG holds
55.84% of the business, while the Edelweiss group holds 44.16% (increased from 38.5% as on September 30, 2021).
Between March and November 2019, the group raised Rs 1,334 crore (in aggregate) from Caisse de depot et placement du
Quebec (CDPQ), Kora Management (Kora; a US-based investment firm) and Sanaka Growth SPV I Ltd (part of Sanaka
Capital). It had also raised Rs 268 crore in October 2021, by divesting its 61% stake in the insurance broking venture to
Arthur Gallagher. The latter now holds 91% in the insurance broking venture of the Edelweiss group and will acquire the
balance 9% in the current fiscal.
These stake sales have helped absorb asset-side risk. Despite business losses in fiscals 2020 and 2021, networth has
been steady at Rs 8,542 crore as on March 31, 2021 (Rs 8,715 crore as on March 31, 2019). With decline in borrowings,
gearing also reduced to around 3 times from around 4 times over the same period. Networth and gearing stood at Rs 8,663
crore and 2.8 times, respectively, as on December 31, 2021.
The group has diversified business interests in financial services domain. Over the years, It has significantly scaled up operations
of its non-lending businesses, including the asset reconstruction company (ARC), asset management and wealth management,
which now contribute a higher share of revenue and profits and are likely to support the overall earnings profile going forward.
The group also maintains adequate liquidity. The overnight on-balance-sheet liquidity (including cash, liquid investments and
treasury assets) stood at around Rs 1,900 crore and unutilised bank lines at Rs 300 crore as on January 31, 2022. The
group also has other liquid assets (investments and securities-based lending) that can be accessed, if necessary. This was
Rs 3,050 crore as on January 31, 2022. The group raised Rs 7,565 crore in fiscal 2021 and Rs 5,873 crore from April to
January 31, 2022 through bank loans, securitisation, structured NCDs and retail bonds.
As for asset quality, overall reported gross stage III assets in the lending business improved to 4.89% as on December 31,
2021, from 7.7% as on March 31, 2021 (5.3% in the previous year). On an absolute basis, stage III assets reduced to Rs
657 crore as on December 31, 2021, from Rs 1,182 crore as on March 31, 2021 (Rs 1,114 crore, a year earlier), supported
by write-offs and sale to ARCs worth Rs 382 crore during the first nine months of fiscal 2022, and Rs 2,047 crore in fiscal
2021. The group had also restructured 3.7% of its portfolio in line with the Resolution Framework for Covid-19-related stress
(restructuring 2.0), released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) August 2020.
The group had aligned stage III assets with gross NPAs and reported stage III assets to factor in impact of RBI’s clarification
on recognition and calculation of NPAs released on November 12, 2021.
The group continues to move towards an asset-light model through sell-down of wholesale assets and co-lending
arrangements in the retail lending business. In wholesale finance, it is shifting the assets to a fund platform, which will
provide completion finance to projects. Although, the group has already concluded transactions aggregating over Rs 2,500
crore in the past 18 months, the overall sell-down has been lower than anticipated., nevertheless, the group is in
discussions for concluding additional transactions.
The increased stress in the loan book and consequent rise in provisions, including management overlay, had impacted the
group’s earnings profile during fiscals 2021 and 2020; however, credit cost has normalised during the nine months through
fiscal 2022. On a consolidated basis, while the group reported net profit of Rs 254 crore in fiscal 2021 (loss of Rs 2,044 crore in
fiscal 2020), it was primarily due to a one-off gain from stake sale in the wealth management business. Excluding this one-off gain,
the group would have reported net loss in fiscal 2021 as well. For nine months ended fiscal 2022, the group reported net profit of
Rs 146 crore after reducing wealth management shareholder’s profit of Rs 21 crore, compared to loss of Rs 382 crore during
corresponding period of previous fiscal.
Improvement in asset quality and profitability will be key rating sensitivity factors.
Analytical Approach
For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL Ratings has combined the business and financial risk profiles of Edelweiss Financial
Services Ltd (EFSL), its subsidiaries and associates in the wealth management business. This is because all these entities
have significant operational, financial, and managerial linkages and operate under a common Edelweiss brand.
Please refer Annexure - List of Entities Consolidated, which captures the list of entities considered and their analytical treatment of consolidation.
With the scale-down of the lending business in the past few quarters, borrowings have also come down. With this, gearing
has improved to 2.8 times as on December 31, 2021 (~3 times as on March 31, 2021) from ~4 times as on March 31, 2020.
Diversified financial services player, with demonstrated ability to build significant competitive positions across
businesses
The Edelweiss group is a diversified financial services player, present in five verticals i.e., credit (wholesale and retail),
insurance (life and general), asset management (AMC and alternate asset management), asset reconstruction and wealth
management. The group has attained sizeable scale in many of these businesses over a period, which is likely to lend
greater stability to earnings over time.
In the lending business of book size of Rs 13,424 crore as on December 31, 2021 (Rs 13,719 crore as on September 30,
2021 and Rs 15,279 crore as on March 31, 2021), excluding capital deployed in distressed assets credit, the group plans to
focus on increasing the granularity of the loan book. As part of this strategy, it will focus on growing the retail book (~52% of total
credit book as on December 31, 2021) comprising primarily of mortgage and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) loans.
Growth in the wholesale credit book is expected to be predominantly through the fund structure.
In the distressed assets segment, Edelweiss ARC is the largest ARC in India, with total securities receipts managed at Rs
41,814 crore as on December 31, 2021 (vis-à-vis Rs 40,800 crore as on March 31, 2021). From being largely corporate
focused, the group has, in the recent past, started focusing on retail and MSME segments. The share of retail is expected to
grow, over the medium term, from 11% as on December 31, 2021.
Scale and profit of fee-based businesses have also increased in the past few fiscals. The group has an established
franchise in institutional broking and investment banking, and growing reach in the retail broking, wealth management and
asset management segments.
Assets under advice in the global wealth management business were Rs 1,93,500 crore (Rs 1,55,000 crore as on March 31,
2021) and assets under management (AUM) in the asset management business were Rs 1,12,100 crore (of which Rs
82,000 crore are mutual fund assets and Rs 30,200 crore are alternative assets) as on December 31, 2021. The group is
among the larger players in the alternate assets space.
Furthermore, the life and general insurance businesses are gaining scale and are also expected to break even over the medium
term.
Weakness:
Asset quality remains vulnerable
Overall stage III assets ratio rose to 4.9% (Rs 657 crore) as on December 31, 2021, from 4.5% (Rs 617 crore) as on
September 30, 2021; yet remained below 7.7% reported as on March 31, 2021 (Rs 1,182 crore). This is largely attributed to
the clarification on recognition and calculation) released by the RBI on November 12, 2021, as the group has also aligned
the stage III assets with gross NPAs; without considering the impact; on a like-to-like basis, the stage III assets have
reduced.
Stage III assets in the retail book increased to Rs 303 crore as on December 31, 2021 (4.30%) from Rs 243 crore (3.4%) as
on September 30, 2021; however, remains below March 2021 levels of Rs 316 crore (Rs 3.9% as on March 31, 2021 and
1.2% a year earlier). The reported stage III assets ratio in the wholesale book improved to 5.5% (Rs 354 Crore) as on
December 31, 2021 as against 5.7% (Rs 374 crore) and 12% (Rs 866 crore) as on September 30, 2021 and March 31,
2021 respectively.
Despite this, asset quality of the wholesale book remains vulnerable due to its exposure to the real estate segment and
stressed mid-tier borrowers in structured credit. While the group is in the process of gradually running down the wholesale
book, this still contributed about 48% of the total loan book as on December 31, 2021 (47% as on March 31, 2021). Also,
the wholesale loan book remains concentrated with 10 largest loans constituting ~39% of the wholesale portfolio.
Nevertheless, the group has reasonable collateral cover for its wholesale loans and has also built strong recovery
capabilities.
Any sharp weakening of asset quality, specifically in the wholesale lending book, will impact profitability as well as
capitalisation and remains a key rating monitorable.
The group reported net profit of Rs 254 crore in fiscal 2021, supported by one-off income as compared to loss of Rs 2,044
crore in fiscal 2020. Consequently, return on assets (annualised) and return on equity (annualised) improved to 0.5% and
3.0%, respectively, in fiscal 2021 (negative 3.4% and negative 23.7%, respectively, in fiscal 2020). The group reported net
profit in the three consecutive quarters of fiscal 2022, with net profit (excluding minority shareholder’s share in profit) of Rs
146 crore for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 (loss of Rs 363 crore during the corresponding period of the previous
fiscal). Furthermore, with continued provisioning, the provision coverage ratio has improved to 52% for the nine months
ended December 31, 2021, from 47% as on March 31, 2021.
Around 20% of the capital (equity plus borrowings) is employed in businesses or investments that are either low-yielding or
loss-making at this point. The group has a large investment portfolio under its balance sheet management unit (BMU),
which is used for managing liquidity. This largely comprises government securities, fixed deposits, liquid mutual fund units
and corporate bonds, which have a low return on capital employed. Furthermore, the life and general insurance businesses
remain loss-making, given their long gestation periods. Breakeven in the insurance businesses, will benefit overall
profitability over the medium term.
As the group is diversified, each business vertical contributes to overall profitability. The non-credit business now contributes
significantly to the total profit after tax (PAT) given the group's established position in these businesses. This should also
support the overall earnings profile. Also, most of the businesses have been reporting profits from the last quarter of fiscal
2021 and gradual improvement in profitability is expected over the medium term.
Liquidity : Adequate
As a policy, the group maintains a liquidity cushion of 9-10% of the balance sheet. There was a liquidity cushion (including
cash, liquid investments and treasury assets) of around Rs 1,900 crore and unutilised bank lines of around Rs 300 crore as
on January 31, 2022. The group also has other liquid assets (investments and securities-based lending book), which can be
accessed if necessary. These were Rs 3,050 crore. As on January 31, 2022, the overall liquidity was adequate to meet the
debt obligation maturing over the next four months till May 31, 2022. The maturity profile of assets and liabilities continue to
be well-matched.
Outlook Negative
The ‘Negative’ outlook factors in challenges faced by the Edelweiss group due to stressed assets in its credit business,
especially in its wholesale lending book, and their impact on profitability.
Rating Sensitivity factors
Upward factors
Significant improvement in the group's asset quality with stage III assets ratio less than 3% on sustained basis, coupled
with reduction in level of stressed assets
Demonstration of profitability across businesses
Downward factors
Continued pressure on profitability, with sustained losses (negative PAT excluding one-off gains)
Deterioration in asset quality of the Edelweiss group
Funding access challenges with limited fundraising by the group
Lack of progress on planned scale-down of wholesale portfolio

Press Release
Rating Downgraded
Rating Rationale
Acuité has downgraded the long term rating to ‘ACUITE AA-’ (read as ACUITE double A
minus) from ‘Acuite AA’ (read as Acuite double A) on the Rs.1900.00 Cr. Secured Retail Non-
Convertible Debentures of Edelweiss Financial Services Limited (EFSL). The outlook on the
ratings continues to remain ‘Negative’.
The rating revision factors in the continuing weakness in the business profile of Edelweiss Group
and the consequent deterioration in its earnings profile over the last 2-3 years which is
expected to persist over the medium term. Given the strategic intent of the management to
focus on primarily fee based businesses, there has been a consistent decline in the group
AUM along with ongoing concerns on the asset quality of the existing lending portfolio. Acuité
believes that the decision to slow down on the fund based businesses will lead to a lesser
diversity in its revenue streams and will have a significant bearing on the group’s earnings
quality. While the credit business has been recording losses for the last three years, the
agency business which comprises of broking, advisory, product distribution and other fee
based businesses has reported a steep decline in PBT from Rs. 256 Cr. in FY 2020 to ~Rs.
86 Cr. in FY 2022 with a YoY decline of ~50%, while there has been a sizeable growth in the
asset management business with the mutual fund AUM growing from Rs. 28,000 Cr as on Mar-
20 to Rs. 85000 Cr as on Mar-22. The group’s share in the wealth management business has
declined to 44 per cent and the long gestation insurance businesses continues to be in a loss
situation. The ARC business, which currently is contributing significantly to the overall
profitability of the group, will be subject to cyclicality and volatility in its earnings given the
unpredictable recoveries from the acquired assets.
The Group reported moderate profitability for FY2022 with profit after tax of Rs.212 Cr.
against Rs. 254 Cr. in FY2021. The group reported a modest ROA at 0.49 % for the FY2022
against 0.52% for the FY2021 Furthermore, NIMs declined to 0.26% of average earning assets in
FY2022 as against 0.77% of average earning assets in FY2021.
There has been constant pressure on the asset quality of the group. The GNPA stood at 7.12
percent on March 31, 2022 (considering the fully provisioned accounts of Rs.558 Cr.) as
compared to 7.73 percent on March 31, 2021 (4.89 percent on December 31, 2021). The AUM
declined to Rs.12447 Cr. on March 31, 2022 from Rs. 15279 Cr. as on March 31, 2021. The
reduction in AUM is not only because of downsizing of wholesale sale books but is also on the
account of the decline in the retail assets. The retail mortgage has reduced from Rs.4834 Cr.
As on March 31,2021 to Rs.3670 Cr. As on March 31, 2022.
Nevertheless, the rating continues to take into account Edelweiss Group’s established track
Acuité Ratings & Research Limited www.acuite.in
record in financial services, adequate capitalization levels and comfortable liquidity profile.
The rating takes cognizance of the Group’s strategic intent on re-building its retail loan
franchise with focus on the co-origination model, which will keep it asset light and provide
granularity to loan portfolio. The rating factors in the growth of ~85 percent in the Mutual Fund
AUM and the ~60 percent growth in number of policies issued in the general insurance
business. The rating also takes into consideration the group’s reducing debt and
demonstrated resource raising ability.
Acuité believes demonstrating sustainable improvement in profitability and revenue streams
in the evolving operating environment along with improvement in the asset quality would
remain key rating monitorables.
Analytical Approach
Acuité has adopted a consolidated approach on Edelweiss Financial Services Limited (EFSL)
along with its 30 subsidiaries and 10 associates as on March 31, 2022 , collectively referred to
as ‘Edelweiss group’. The approach is driven by common promoters, shared brand name,
significant operational and financial synergies between the companies. Acuité has rated
secured NCDs as well as perpetual NCDs issued by Edelweiss group companies. It is pertinent
to note that, Unsecured Subordinated Non-Convertible Debentures (i.e. Perpetual NCDs) are
rated at a lower level vis-à-vis the regular secured debt instruments. This is in view of the
significant loss absorption characteristics associated with these perpetual instruments. The
issuer may be required to skip/defer the coupon/interest payment in case of certain events
such as decline in CAR below regulatory thresholds.
Extent of consolidation: Full
Weakness
Reduced diversity of the group business
There is a shift from the fund based business model to non-fund based business by the group.
This has impacted the revenue streams of the group. The stake in wealth business has been
diluted to 44 percent and the insurance business has a long gestation period. The income
streams from the credit business and agency business of the group have shown a continuous
decline over the last three years. PBT from agency business declined to ~Rs.86 Cr. In March 31,
2022 from ~Rs. 172 Cr. In March 31, 2021(~Rs.256 Cr. In FY2020) and the credit business has
been generating losses during the same time. This provides less stability to the income profile
of the group were the ARC business, which is the key driver, is susceptible to the cyclicity and
volatility of the industry and regulatory environment.
Rating Sensitivity
Movement in profitability as per the expectations
Growth in AUM for retail lending
Movement in the asset quality and collection efficiency
Changes in Regulatory environment
Significant capital infusion
Material Covenants
Edelweiss Group is subject to covenants stipulated by its lenders/investors in respect of
various parameters like capital structure, asset quality among others. As per confirmation
received from the Group vide mail dated July 01,2022, ‘the Group is adhering to all terms and
conditions stipulated as covenants by all its lenders/investors.
Liquidity Position
Adequate
EFSL’s liquidity profile is supported by the group’s centralised treasury operations and
adequate liquidity position. The group has demonstrated the ability to raise medium to long
term funding from banks/capital markets which should support the Group’s ability to plug any
possible mismatches. The Group’s liquidity profile is supported by funding from diversified base
i.e. banks and financial institutions along with capital market instruments like CBLO
borrowings, Commercial Papers and NCDs. The Group’s expected repayment obligations
maturing during FY2023 are around Rs. 9,900 Cr. against expected inflows of Rs. 9,000 Cr.
during the same period. The Group on a consolidated basis had maintained liquidity buffers of
Rs.5,500 Cr. (includes bank lines of Rs.550 Cr.) as on March 31, 2022.
Outlook : Negative
Acuité believes that the Edelweiss Group’s Credit profile will continue to face pressures over
the near to medium term on account of the deterioration of asset quality and profitability.
The decision to slow down on the fund based businesses is expected to lead to lesser diversity
in its revenue streams and will have a significant bearing on the group’s earnings quality.
Acuité will be closely monitoring the performance of the Group and any further impairment in
asset quality or reduction of profitability will impart a strong negative bias to the rating. The
outlook may be revised to Stable in case Edelweiss Group is able to demonstrate significant
and sustained improvement in asset quality and profitability.
