Forward-Looking Statement
In this Annual Report, we have disclosed forward-looking information to enable investors to
comprehend our prospects and take investment decisions. This report and other statements -
written and oral - that we periodically make, contain forward-looking statements that set out
anticipated results based on the management’s plans and assumptions. We have tried, wherever
possible, to identify such statements by using words, such as ‘anticipate’, ‘estimate’, ‘expects’,
‘projects’, ‘intends’, ‘plans’, ‘believes’, and words of similar substance in connection with any
discussion of future performance. We cannot guarantee that these forward-looking statements will
be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in our assumptions. The achievement of
results are subject to risks, uncertainties and even inaccurate assumptions. Should known or
unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate,
actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Readers should
keep this in mind. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Chairman and Managing Director’s Foreword


Dear Members, Colleagues and Friends

Macroeconomic Review
As per the World Economic Outlook (WEO), the Indian economy
retained its tag of the fastest growing major economy in the world
in the financial year 2018-19. The Indian economy grew at 8.2
percent in the first quarter, but eased sharply to 7 percent for the
year as a whole as per Central Statistical Office (CSO). The
economy witnessed robust industrial growth during the financial
year 2018-19 and this momentum is expected to continue next
year. The economy is projected to grow at the rate of 7.5% during
2019, expanding further to 7.7% during 2020 as per the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) World Economic Outlook January 2019
update. With the anticipated slowdown in China’s economy,
India remains as one of the preferred destinations for global
capital flows and is in a favourable position to aggressively
attract growth capital. India’s ranking moved up 23 notches in the
World Bank’s ease of doing business index to secure the 77th
place, becoming the top ranked country in South Asia for the first
time and third among the BRICS.

Recent policy measures which have helped gain optimism on the


future outlook include, 1. Recapitalisation of Public Sector Banks
(PSBs) helping the ongoing improvement in their financials,
2. Better Guidelines for standardising resolution of stressed
assets, 3. Positive outcome through Insolvency and Bankruptcy
Code in some large value cases, 4. Experienced-led rationalization
in the Goods and Services Tax. With inflation under check, the
room for the economy to benefit from the lower interest rate
regime has become brighter. Schematic approach to address
socio-economic transformation has been the hallmark of the
current government in power – education, sanitation, health,
housing and basic services like LPG for cooking and rural
electrification at affordable costs. All schemes implemented
through well-structured programmes, have helped in improving
the living standards of many families. Notable initiatives include
‘Kifayati Aawas Yojna’ for a dedicated affordable housing fund in
National Housing Bank, ‘Ayushman Bharat Scheme’ a National
Health Protection Scheme for the poor and vulnerable families
and the ‘Research on Improving Systems of Education’ (RISE)
scheme for providing low-cost funding to the government‘s
higher educational institutions. These schemes among others
ensure that the year ahead would be far more sustainable and
growth-oriented.

The year 2019 is promising for India’s housing industry. Good


demand for housing is expected in 2019 with rapid urbanisation,
low mortgage penetration, nuclearisation of families and
two-thirds of the country’s population below 35 years of age.
Housing affordability has increased owing to stagnated property
prices, steady annual wage inflation of over 10% in the last
decade and lower effective interest rates, due to the tax
incentives by the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) subsidy.

i Fair value hierarchy
The company uses the following hierarchy to determine the fair values of its financial instruments that are (a) recognised and
measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements:

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments
and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued
using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the- counter
derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as
possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is
included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 during the year.

The Company’s recognises transfers in and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.

Notes:

a The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are considered at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged
in current transaction between willing parties.

b The fair value of fixed rate financial liabilities are determined based on cash flows discounted using current borrowing rate.

c Housing and property loans measured at amortised costs are substantially repriced frequently, with interest rate reflecting
current market price and hence the carrying value approximates their fair value.

d The Company considers that the carrying amounts recognised in the financial statements for financial assets and financial
liabilities other than disclosed above approximate their fair values.

iv Valuation technique used to determine fair value of financial instruments measured at FVTPL:

a The fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally the transaction price (fair value of the consideration
given or received). Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company determines the fair value of financial instruments that are
quoted in active markets using the quoted prices and using valuation techniques for other instruments. Valuation techniques
include discounted cash flow method, market comparable method, recent transactions happened in the Company and
other valuation models. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of
unobservable inputs.

b Financial instruments carried at fair value (level 3 in hierarchy):

The fair values are measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model and market
comparable method. The inputs to these models are taken from observable market where possible, but where this is not
feasible, a degree of judgement is exercised in establishing fair values. Changes in assumptions about these factors could
affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

Notes:
a The expected internal rate of return considered for the purpose of discounting the estimated cash flows. An increase in the
rate will result in decrease in the fair value and vice-versa. The impact disclosed above is based on change in the rate of
return by 100 basis points.

b The fair value is impacted by the change in the net asset value declared. The impact above has been determined based on
10% change in the net asset value.

c Valuation factor includes equity multiples such as PE ratio, estimated cash flows. The impact above has been determined
based on approx 5% to 10% change in the valuation factor.

43 Maturity Pattern
The table below shows an analysis of assets and liabilities according to when they are expected to be recovered or settled. With
regard to loans and advances to customers, the Company uses the same basis of expected repayment behaviour as used for
estimating the EIR.

44 Financial risk management


a Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the current and prospective risk arising out of an inability to meet financial commitments as they fall due, through
available cash flows or through the sale of assets at fair market value. It includes both, the risk of unexpected increases in the cost
of funding an asset portfolio at appropriate maturities and the risk of being unable to liquidate a position in a timely manner at a
reasonable price.

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and by having access to funding
through an adequate amount of committed credit lines. Given the need to fund diverse products, the Company maintains flexibility
in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines to meet obligations when due. Management regularly monitors
the position of cash and cash equivalents vis-à-vis projections. Assessment of maturity profiles of financial assets and financial
liabilities including debt financing plans and maintenance of Balance Sheet liquidity ratios are considered while reviewing the
liquidity position.

We manage liquidity risk in accordance with our Asset Liability Management Policy. This policy is framed as per the current
regulatory guidelines and is approved by the Board of Directors. The Asset Liability Management Policy is reviewed periodically
to incorporate changes as required by regulatory stipulation or to realign the policy with changes in the economic landscape. The
Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) of the Company formulates and reviews strategies and provides guidance for management of
liquidity risk within the framework laid out in the Asset Liability Management Policy.

Also refer Note 54 on the going concern consideration.

b Interest Risk

Our core business is deposit taking, borrowing and lending as permitted by the National Housing Bank. These activities expose
us to interest rate risk.

Interest rate risk is measured through earnings at risk from an earnings perspective and through duration of equity from an
economic value perspective. Further, exposure to fluctuations in interest rates is also measured by way of gap analysis, providing
a static view of the maturity and re-pricing characteristic of Balance Sheet positions. An interest rate sensitivity gap report is
prepared by classifying all rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities into various time period categories according to
contracted/behavioural maturities or anticipated re-pricing date. The difference in the amount of rate sensitive assets and rate
sensitive liabilities maturing or being re-priced in any time period category, gives an indication of the extent of exposure to the risk
of potential changes in the margins on new or re-priced assets and liabilities. In order to mitigate this risk, the Company strives to
optimise its borrowings between short-term and long-term debt, and also between floating and fixed-rate instruments. It prepares
interest rate risk reports periodically, and shares the findings with National Housing Bank. Further, to ensure that exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates is kept within acceptable limits, the Company follows a prudent policy on the management of its assets
and liabilities. Interest rate swaps are used on a limited basis for hedging interest rate mismatches, the ALCO periodically reviews
the treasury operations, as well as the pricing of products, at specific intervals.

The Company also hedges interest rate risks by way of derivatives instruments like Interest rate swaps.

The Company’s activities expose it to the financial risks of changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The Company
uses derivative contracts such as foreign exchange forward, cross currency contracts, interest rate swaps, foreign currency
futures, options and swaps to hedge its exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The use of these
foreign exchange and forward contracts reduce the risk or cost to the Company and the Company does not use those for trading
or speculation purposes. The Company uses hedging instruments that are governed by the policies of the Company which are
approved by the Board of Directors, which provide written principles on the use of such financial derivatives consistent with the
risk management strategy of the Company.

The exposure in foreign currency in respect of the External Commercial Borrowings has been fully hedged by foreign currency

Hedging Policy

The Company’s hedging policy only allows for effective hedging relationships to be considered as hedges as per the relevant Ind
AS. Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness
assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument. The Company
enters into hedge relationships where the critical terms of the hedging instrument match with the terms of the hedged item, and
so a qualitative and quantitative assessment of effectiveness is performed.

c Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss that may occur from the failure of any party to abide by the terms and conditions of any contract,
principally the failure to make required payments of amounts due to the company. In its lending operations, the Company is
principally exposed to credit risk.

The credit risk is governed by the Credit Policy approved by the Board of Directors. The Credit Policy outlines the type of products
that can be offered, customer categories, the targeted customer profile and the credit approval process and limits.

The Company measures, monitors and manages credit risk at an individual borrower level and at the group exposure level
for corporate borrowers. The credit risk for retail borrowers is being managed at portfolio level for both Home loans and Other
property loans. The Company has a structured and standardized credit approval process, which includes a well-established
procedure of comprehensive credit appraisal. The Risk Management Policy addresses the recognition, measurement, monitoring
and reporting of the Credit risk.

Credit Risk Assessment Methodology:

Housing and other property loans:

Company’s customers for retail loans are primarily Lower and middle income, salaried and self-employed individuals.

The Company’s credit officers evaluate credit proposals on the basis of approved operating policies. The criteria typically include
factors such as the borrower’s income, the loan-to-value ratio and demographic parameters. Any deviations need to be approved
at the designated levels.

External agencies such as field investigation agencies facilitate a comprehensive due diligence process including visits to offices
and homes in the case of loans made to retail borrowers.

The Company has an established credit appraisal procedure leading to appropriate identification of credit risk for wholesale
mortgage loans which involves critical assessment of quantitative and qualitative parameters subject to review and approval basis
approved operating policies. A significant portion of wholesale mortgage loans are secured by a lien over appropriate assets of
the borrower.

Company monitor’s borrower account behavior as well as static data regularly to monitor the portfolio performance of each product
segment regularly, and use these as inputs in revising its product programs, target market definitions and credit assessment
criteria to meet the twin objectives of combining volume growth and maintenance of asset quality.

The loans are secured by the mortgage of the borrowers’ property.

Loan to developers:

The Company has a framework for the appraisal and execution of project finance transactions. The Company believes that this
framework creates optimal risk identification, allocation and mitigation and helps minimize residual risk.

The project finance approval process begins with a detailed evaluation of technical, commercial, financial, marketing and
management factors and the sponsor’s financial strength and experience.

As part of the appraisal process, a risk matrix is generated, which identifies each of the project risks, mitigating factors and
residual risks associated with the project. After credit approval, a letter of intent is issued to the borrower, which outlines the
principal financial terms of the proposed facility, sponsor obligations, conditions precedent to disbursement, undertakings from
and covenants on the borrower.

After completion of all formalities by the borrower, a loan agreement is entered into with the borrower.

Project finance loans are generally fully secured and have full recourse against the borrower. In most cases, the Company has a
security interest and first lien on all the fixed assets. Security interests typically include property as well as other tangible assets
of the borrower, both present and future. The Corporation also takes additional credit comforts such as corporate or personal
guarantees from one or more sponsors of the project.

The Company requires the borrower to submit periodic reports and continue to monitor the credit exposure until loans are fully
repaid.

The Company’s current credit risk grading framework comprises the following categories:

Category Description Basis for recognising expected credit losses


Stage 1 0-30 days past due loans classified as stage 1 12-month ECL
Stage 2 31-90 days past due loans classified as stage 2 Lifetime ECL
Stage 3 > 90 days past due loans classified as stage 3 Lifetime ECL – credit-impaired

The key elements in calculation of ECL are as follows:

PD - The Probability of Default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. A default may only happen at a
certain time over the assessed period, if the facility has not been previously derecognised and is still in the portfolio. The PD has
been determined based on seasoned historical portfolio data using the survival analysis methodology.

EAD - The Exposure at Default includes repayments scheduled by contract or otherwise, expected drawdowns on committed
facilities, accrued interest from missed payments and loan commitments.

LGD - The Loss Given Default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based on the
difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, including from the realisation
of any collateral. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the EAD. The LGD is determined based on seasoned historical portfolio
data.

Company monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio: Net debt (total borrowings net of cash and cash
equivalents and Liquid investments) divided by Total ‘equity’ (as shown in the balance sheet). Also refer Note 54 on going
concern consideration.

b Defined Obligation Benefit
The company provides gratuity to its employees which are defined benefit plan. The present value of obligation is determined
based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise
to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.
These gratuity plan typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest risk, longevity risk and
salary risk.
Investment Risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference
to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. For other defined benefit plans, the discount rate
is determined by reference to market yield at the end of reporting period on high quality corporate bonds when there is a
deep market for such bonds; if the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.

Interest risk:
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the
return on the plan debt investments.
Longevity risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan
participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase
the plan’s liability.
Salary risk:
The present value of the defined plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such,
an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

49 As a part of the Company’s effort to sell down its non-core investments in associates
to generate liquidity, the Company has entered into Binding Share Purchase
Agreement for –
a sale of 23,01,090 (9.15%) equity shares held in Aadhar Housing Finance Limited (AHFL) to private equity funds managed by
Blackstone on 02nd February 2019 for a total consideration of ` 20,895 lakh. After obtaining applicable regulatory and other
approval ` 16,363 lakh has been received by the Company on 10th June 2019 and balance of ` 4,532 lakh is expected over the
period of next 6 months.

b sale of 1,92,50,719 (30.63%) equity shares held by the Company in Avanse Financial Services Limited (Avanse) to Olive Vine
Investments Limited an affiliate of Warburg Pincus Group on 16th March 2019 for a consideration of ` 30,352 lakh.

c sale of its entire shareholding in DHFL Pramerica Asset Managers Private Limited,, to M/s PGLH of Delaware Inc. vide agreement
dated 21st February ‘19, subject to related regulatory approvals. As per the same purchase consideration shall be based on the
Asset under Management (AUM).

50 In the last week of January, 2019, News portal Cobrapost.com made allegations against the Company’s management and its
promoters. The Company received a series of questions from the portal shortly before the allegations were made public. The
Audit Committee appointed an independent firm of Chartered Accountants (Independent Chartered Accountants) to review the
allegations and report to the Committee. The report by Independent Chartered Accountants restricted its scope to the allegations
which in their opinion pertained to the Company, highlighted certain procedural lapses and documentation deficiencies inter alia the
fact that the end use monitoring of the funds loaned had not been performed despite a specific mandate by the finance Committee
as part of the loan sanction conditions. The Statutory Auditors post their review of the Independent Chartered Accountants report,
provided their observations and suggestions on the scope, coverage and findings by the Independent Chartered Accountants in
the report as well as additional areas that needed to be covered. The management is in the process of determining the action to
address the comments of the Statutory Auditors. As stated in the Action taken report tabled before the Audit Committee on 29th
March, 2019, the Company has sought written explanations from the loanees for loans where end use monitoring was not effected.
The Company is yet to receive responses from the loanees after which a decision on remedial measures including recalling
the monies advanced will be made. The Company is undertaking fresh valuation in respect of the loans including underlying
securities that were a subject matter of the allegations, from reputed valuation specialists and have been advised by the lawyers
that agreements entered into with the loanees are legally enforceable. Necessary adjustments to the carrying values of the loans
advanced will be made upon conclusion of the above actions.

51 The unsecured Inter Corporate Deposit (ICD) aggregating ` 565,269 lakh were outstanding as at March 31, 2019 and includes
ICDs (net) of ` 482,014 lakh granted during the year. Of these, ICDs aggregating ` 40,870 lakh have since been repaid while ICDs
aggregating ` 393,699 lakh are expected to be repaid shortly. Balance ICDs aggregating to ` 130,700 lakh are being converted
into secured term loans. There are documentation deficiencies with respect to grant / rollover of ICDs which are being rectified.
The ICDs have been advanced towards regular business activities and were either extended as a temporary loan pending full
valuation of project funding or short term corporate requirements. Pending conclusion of these actions, the Management believes
that no adjustments are required to the carrying value of the ICDs.

52 In respect of certain Project / Mortgage loans, the management is actively engaged with the loanees to remediate certain lacunae
in loan documentation and expects to complete this exercise by September 2019. The management believes that deficiencies in
documentation will not affect the enforceability of the underlying security. The Company is confident that the loans extended are
secured and recoverable basis the cash flow arising from such project / mortgage loans. Pending completion of this exercise, no
adjustments have been made to the carrying values of these loans aggregating to ` 2,407,772 lakh which has been largely dealt
with in a manner stated in Note 55.

53 During the year, the housing finance sector has been under duress which has been compounded by the liquidity crunch in the
real estate sector. Consequent to this, there have been instances where cheques received from the borrowers particularly from
the project and mortgage loan customers were not banked at the instance of the borrowers. Entries for receipts were however
accounted for in the customer accounts which were subsequently reversed. As at the year end, the collections recorded in this
manner aggregated ` 187,526 lakh have been remediated at the year-end and the corresponding loans have been dealt with in a
manner as stated in Note 55.

54 The Company is undergoing substantial financial stress since second half of the current financial year. The Company has suffered
consistent downgrades in its credit ratings since February 2019. On 5th June 2019, the credit rating was reduced to ‘default grade’
despite there being no default till that date. The Company’s ability to raise funds has been substantially impaired and the business
has been brought to a standstill with there being minimal / virtually no disbursements. These developments may raise a significant
doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The Company is taking active steps to monetize its assets and is in discussions with multiple Indian banks and international
financial institutions to sell off its retail as well as wholesale portfolio. It is in discussions with the consortium of bankers / lenders to
restructure its borrowings and will take all the necessary steps to ensure that it meets its financial commitments. There have been
discussions for stake sale by the promoters to a strategic partner with further equity infusion. The Company on July 1, 2019 had a
meeting with the consortium of bankers wherein the bankers agreed to enter into an Inter-creditor Agreement (ICA) for a potential
restructuring of company’s liabilities. In view thereof, the requirements in respect of creation of debenture redemption reserve and
the corresponding deposit in liquid assets shall be assessed upon conclusion of the restructuring plan. The Company is in the
process of submitting a resolution plan to the lenders and the lenders are expected to give an in-principle approval to the plan by
end of July 2019. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is predicated upon its ability to monetize its assets,
secure funding from the bankers / investors, restructure its liabilities and recommence its operations. In view of all the actions that
are currently underway, these financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern.

55 Due to the current business environment, the Company no longer holds the project loans, SRA loans and wholesale mortgage loan
portfolio for the purposes of solely collecting the principal and interest. The Management envisages to monetise the wholesale
loan portfolio. Consequently, the said loans aggregating ` 3,488,160 lakh (including ` 1,648,717 lakh related to note 53) have
been reclassified as Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) as at March 31, 2019 due to the change in business model. As
required under Ind AS 109, these assets have been fair valued as at March 31, 2019 based on internal valuations which involve
management’s judgment and assumptions at ` 3,162,815 lakh and the resultant fair value loss aggregating ` 325,345 lakh (gross
of reversal of provision) has been charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

56 The Company had commenced implementation of Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model as part of its Ind AS transition. During
the course of the audit, deficiencies have been identified in the historical data used for the purpose of determination of the ECL
provision. The Company is in the process of remediating the same, though does not consider the resultant impact to be material.
Additionally, the Company has also taken external bureau supportive information (i.e. CIBIL score range band – Probability of
default (PD) analysis) of our portfolio in comparison to Industry standards, which indicates that the PD of the Company’s Portfolio
is better than the Industry standard. Further, based on the Company’s borrower profile and CIBIL score the Company is convinced
of its assumptions supporting ECL calculation.

57 The Company has received a letter dated July 3, 2019, from the National Housing Bank containing observations emanating from
the inspection carried out by NHB for the year ended March 31, 2018 as per the provisions of the National Housing Bank Act,
1987. There are observations in the letter inter-alia being impact on the Capital Adequacy Ratio of the Company as at March 31,
2018 reduced to 10.24%. NHB has directed the Company to provide a specific response to all the observations within a period
of 21 days. The management does not concur with the observation of the NHB and will provide an appropriate response within
the stipulated time. As mentioned in the note 55 above, on account of classification of project loans, SRA loans and wholesale
mortgage loans as Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) due to the change in business model as at March 31, 2019, has
resulted in a charge of fair value loss aggregating to ` 325,345 Lakh (gross of reversal of provision) to the Statement of Profit and
Loss. While the management does not agree with the observations of the NHB and will provide an appropriate response within
the stipulated time, these financials statements have been prepared without providing the disclosures to be made in the financial
statements as mandated under the NHB Guidelines. Necessary disclosures will be compiled and provided to the stakeholders at a
later date upon conclusion of the matter. In view of these financial statements being prepared using Indian Accounting Standards
(Ind AS) while the NHB observations relate to numbers compiled on the basis of regulatory guidelines, the Management believes
that the aforesaid observations may not have any implications on the financial statements.

i Fair value hierarchy
The company uses the following hierarchy to determine the fair values of its financial instruments that are (a) recognised
and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial
statements:

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity
instruments and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock
exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the-
counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely
as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable,
the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in
level 3.

There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 during the year.

Notes:
a The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are considered at the amount at which the instrument could be
exchanged in current transaction between willing parties.
b The fair value of fixed rate financial liabilities are determined based on cash flows discounted using current borrowing
rate.
c Housing and property loans measured at amortised costs are substantially repriced frequently, with interest rate
reflecting current market price and hence the carrying value approximates their fair value.
d The Company considers that the carrying amounts recognised in the financial statements for financial assets and
financial liabilities other than disclosed above approximate their fair values.
iv Valuation technique used to determine fair value of financial instruments measured at FVTPL:
a The fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally the transaction price (fair value of the
consideration given or received). Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company determines the fair value of
financial instruments that are quoted in active markets using the quoted prices and using valuation techniques for
other instruments. Valuation techniques include discounted cash flow method, market comparable method, recent
transactions happened in the Company and other valuation models.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data
is available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of
unobservable inputs.
b Financial instruments carried at fair value (level 3 in hierarchy):
The fair values are measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model and
market comparable method. The inputs to these models are taken from observable market where possible, but where
this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is exercised in establishing fair values. Changes in assumptions about
these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

44 Financial risk management


a Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the current and prospective risk arising out of an inability to meet financial commitments as they fall due,
through available cash flows or through the sale of assets at fair market value. It includes both, the risk of unexpected
increases in the cost of funding an asset portfolio at appropriate maturities and the risk of being unable to liquidate a position
in a timely manner at a reasonable price.
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and by having access to
funding through an adequate amount of committed credit lines. Given the need to fund diverse products, the Company
maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines to meet obligations when due.
Management regularly monitors the position of cash and cash equivalents vis-à-vis projections. Assessment of maturity
profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities including debt financing plans and maintenance of Balance Sheet liquidity
ratios are considered while reviewing the liquidity position.
We manage liquidity risk in accordance with our Asset Liability Management Policy. This policy is framed as per the current
regulatory guidelines and is approved by the Board of Directors. The Asset Liability Management Policy is reviewed
periodically to incorporate changes as required by regulatory stipulation or to realign the policy with changes in the economic
landscape. The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) of the Company formulates and reviews strategies and provides guidance
for management of liquidity risk within the framework laid out in the Asset Liability Management Policy.

Notes:
1 The maturity analysis is prepared considering the prepayments on housing and other loans in line with historical trend.
2 For the purposes of the above disclosure, the maturity pattern of the loans measured at FVTPL has been determined
based on the management’s estimate of realization including through sale.
b Interest Risk
Our core business is deposit taking, borrowing and lending as permitted by the National Housing Bank. These activities
expose us to interest rate risk.

Interest rate risk is measured through earnings at risk from an earnings perspective and through duration of equity from an
economic value perspective. Further, exposure to fluctuations in interest rates is also measured by way of gap analysis,
providing a static view of the maturity and re-pricing characteristic of Balance sheet positions. An interest rate sensitivity
gap report is prepared by classifying all rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities into various time period categories
according to contracted/behavioural maturities or anticipated re-pricing date. The difference in the amount of rate sensitive
assets and rate sensitive liabilities maturing or being re-priced in any time period category, gives an indication of the extent
of exposure to the risk of potential changes in the margins on new or re-priced assets and liabilities. In order to mitigate
this risk, the Company strives to optimise its borrowings between short-term and long-term debt, and also between floating
and fixed-rate instruments. It prepares interest rate risk reports periodically, and shares the findings with National Housing
Bank. Further, to ensure that exposure to fluctuations in interest rates is kept within acceptable limits, the Company follows
a prudent policy on the management of its assets and liabilities. Interest rate swaps are used on a limited basis for hedging
interest rate mismatches, the ALCO periodically reviews the treasury operations, as well as the pricing of products, at
specific intervals.

The Company also hedges interest rate risks by way of derivatives instruments like Interest rate swaps.

Exchange Rate Risk
The Board of Directors of the Company has an approved Foreign Exchange and Interest Rate Risk Management Policy
Document. The Company manages the currency risk in accordance with the guidelines prescribed.

The Company’s activities expose it to the financial risks of changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The
Company uses derivative contracts such as foreign exchange forward, cross currency contracts, interest rate swaps,
foreign currency futures, options and swaps to hedge its exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates and interest
rates. The use of these foreign exchange and forward contracts reduce the risk or cost to the Company and the Company
does not use those for trading or speculation purposes. The Company uses hedging instruments that are governed by the
policies of the Company which are approved by the Board of Directors, which provide written principles on the use of such
financial derivatives consistent with the risk management strategy of the Company.

The exposure in foreign currency in respect of the External Commercial Borrowings has been fully hedged by foreign

Hedging Policy
The Company’s hedging policy only allows for effective hedging relationships to be considered as hedges as per the relevant
Ind AS. Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective
effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument.
The Company enters into hedge relationships where the critical terms of the hedging instrument match with the terms of the
hedged item, and so a qualitative and quantitative assessment of effectiveness is performed.

c Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may occur from the failure of any party to abide by the terms and conditions of any contract,
principally the failure to make required payments of amounts due to the company. In its lending operations, the Company is
principally exposed to credit risk.

The credit risk is governed by the Credit Policy approved by the Board of Directors. The Credit Policy outlines the type of
products that can be offered, customer categories, the targeted customer profile and the credit approval process and limits.

The Company measures, monitors and manages credit risk at an individual borrower level and at the group exposure
level for corporate borrowers. The credit risk for retail borrowers is being managed at portfolio level for both Home loans
and Other property loans. The Company has a structured and standardized credit approval process, which includes a
well-established procedure of comprehensive credit appraisal. The Risk Management Policy addresses the recognition,
measurement, monitoring and reporting of the Credit risk.

Credit Risk Assessment Methodology:


Housing and other property loans:
Company’s customers for retail loans are primarily Lower and middle income, salaried and self-employed individuals.

The Company’s credit officers evaluate credit proposals on the basis of approved operating policies. The criteria typically
include factors such as the borrower’s income, the loan-to-value ratio and demographic parameters. Any deviations need to
be approved at the designated levels.

External agencies such as field investigation agencies facilitate a comprehensive due diligence process including visits to
offices and homes in the case of loans made to retail borrowers.

The Company has an established credit appraisal procedure leading to appropriate identification of credit risk for wholesale
mortgage loans which involves critical assessment of quantitative and qualitative parameters subject to review and approval

307

Notes
forming part of the Consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019

basis approved operating policies. A significant portion of wholesale mortgage loans are secured by a lien over appropriate
assets of the borrower.

Company monitor’s borrower account behaviour as well as static data regularly to monitor the portfolio performance of each
product segment regularly, and use these as inputs in revising its product programs, target market definitions and credit
assessment criteria to meet the twin objectives of combining volume growth and maintenance of asset quality.
The loans are secured by the mortgage of the borrowers’ property.
Loan to developers:
The Company has a framework for the appraisal and execution of project finance transactions. The Company believes that
this framework creates optimal risk identification, allocation and mitigation and helps minimize residual risk.

The project finance approval process begins with a detailed evaluation of technical, commercial, financial, marketing and
management factors and the sponsor’s financial strength and experience.

As part of the appraisal process, a risk matrix is generated, which identifies each of the project risks, mitigating factors and
residual risks associated with the project. After credit approval, a letter of intent is issued to the borrower, which outlines the
principal financial terms of the proposed facility, sponsor obligations, conditions precedent to disbursement, undertakings
from and covenants on the borrower.

After completion of all formalities by the borrower, a loan agreement is entered into with the borrower.

Project finance loans are generally fully secured and have full recourse against the borrower. In most cases, the Company
has a security interest and first lien on all the fixed assets. Security interests typically include property as well as other
tangible assets of the borrower, both present and future. The Corporation also takes additional credit comforts such as
corporate or personal guarantees from one or more sponsors of the project.

The Company requires the borrower to submit periodic reports and continue to monitor the credit exposure until loans are
fully repaid.

The Company’s current credit risk grading framework comprises the following categories:

Category Description Basis for recognising expected credit losses


Stage 1 0-30 days past due loans classified as stage 1 12-month ECL
Stage 2 31-90 days past due loans classified as stage 2 Lifetime ECL
Stage 3 > 90 days past due loans classified as stage 3 Lifetime ECL – credit-impaired

The key elements in calculation of ECL are as follows:

PD - The Probability of Default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. A default may only happen
at a certain time over the assessed period, if the facility has not been previously derecognised and is still in the portfolio. The
PD has been determined based on seasoned historical portfolio data using the survival analysis methodology.

EAD - The Exposure at Default includes repayments scheduled by contract or otherwise, expected drawdowns on committed
facilities, accrued interest from missed payments and loan commitments.

LGD - The Loss Given Default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based
on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, including
from the realisation of any collateral. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the EAD. The LGD is determined based on
seasoned historical portfolio data.

Capital Management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to

• Safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and
benefits for other stakeholders, and

• Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

b Defined Obligation Benefit

The company provides gratuity to its employees which are defined benefit plan. The present value of obligation is determined
based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise
to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

These gratuity plan typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest risk, longevity risk and
salary risk.

Investment Risk:

The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference
to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. For other defined benefit plans, the discount rate
is determined by reference to market yield at the end of reporting period on high quality corporate bonds when there is a
deep market for such bonds; if the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.

Interest risk:

A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the
return on the plan debt investments.

Longevity risk:

The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan
participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase
the plan’s liability.

Salary risk:

The present value of the defined plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such,
an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

The following table sets out the funded status of the Gratuity and the amount recognised in the Financial Statements:

In the last week of January, 2019, News portal Cobrapost.com made allegations against the Company’s management and its
promoters . The Company received a series of questions from the portal shortly before the allegations were made public. The
Audit Committee appointed an independent firm of Chartered Accountants (Independent Chartered Accountants) to review the
allegations and report to the Committee. The report by Independent Chartered Accountants restricted its scope to the allegations
which in their opinion pertained to the Company, highlighted certain procedural lapses and documentation deficiencies inter alia the
fact that the end use monitoring of the funds loaned had not been performed despite a specific mandate by the finance Committee
as part of the loan sanction conditions. The Statutory Auditors post their review of the Independent Chartered Accountants report,
provided their observations and suggestions on the scope, coverage and findings by the Independent Chartered Accountants in
the report as well as additional areas that needed to be covered. The management is in the process of determining the action to
address the comments of the Statutory Auditors. As stated in the Action taken report tabled before the Audit Committee on 29th
March, 2019, the Company has sought written explanations from the loanees for loans where end use monitoring was not effected.
The Company is yet to receive responses from the loanees after which a decision on remedial measures including recalling
the monies advanced will be made. The Company is undertaking fresh valuation in respect of the loans including underlying
securities that were a subject matter of the allegations, from reputed valuation specialists and have been advised by the lawyers
that agreements entered into with the loanees are legally enforceable. Necessary adjustments to the carrying values of the loans
advanced will be made upon conclusion of the above actions.
51 
The unsecured Inter Corporate Deposit (ICD) aggregating ` 565,269 lakh were outstanding as at March 31, 2019 and includes
ICDs (net) of ` 482,014 lakh granted during the year. Of these, ICDs aggregating ` 40,870 lakh have since been repaid while ICDs
aggregating ` 393,699 lakh are expected to be repaid shortly. Balance ICDs aggregating to ` 130,700 lakh are being converted
into secured term loans. There are documentation deficiencies with respect to grant / rollover of ICDs which are being rectified.
The ICDs have been advanced towards regular business activities and were either extended as a temporary loan pending full
valuation of project funding or short term corporate requirements. Pending conclusion of these actions, the Management believes
that no adjustments are required to the carrying value of the ICDs.
52 
In respect of certain Project / Mortgage loans, the management is actively engaged with the loanees to remediate certain lacunae
in loan documentation and expects to complete this exercise by September 2019. The management believes that deficiencies in
documentation will not affect the enforceability of the underlying security. The Company is confident that the loans extended are
secured and recoverable basis the cash flow arising from such project / mortgage loans. Pending completion of this exercise, no
adjustments have been made to the carrying values of these loans aggregating to ` 2,407,772 lakh which has been largely dealt
with in a manner stated in Note 55.
53 
During the year, the housing finance sector has been under duress which has been compounded by the liquidity crunch in the
real estate sector. Consequent to this, there have been instances where cheques received from the borrowers particularly from
the project and mortgage loan customers were not banked at the instance of the borrowers. Entries for receipts were however
accounted for in the customer accounts which were subsequently reversed. As at the year end, the collections recorded in this
manner aggregated ` 187,526 lakh have been remediated at the year-end and the corresponding loans have been dealt with in a
manner as stated in Note 55.
54 
The Company is undergoing substantial financial stress since second half of the current financial year. The Company has suffered
consistent downgrades in its credit ratings since February 2019. On 5th June 2019, the credit rating was reduced to ‘default grade’
despite there being no default till that date. The Company’s ability to raise funds has been substantially impaired and the business
has been brought to a standstill with there being minimal / virtually no disbursements. These developments may raise a significant
doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The Company is taking active steps to monetize its assets and is in discussions with multiple Indian banks and international
financial institutions to sell off its retail as well as wholesale portfolio. It is in discussions with the consortium of bankers / lenders to

restructure its borrowings and will take all the necessary steps to ensure that it meets its financial commitments. There have been
discussions for stake sale by the promoters to a strategic partner with further equity infusion. The Company on July 1, 2019 had a
meeting with the consortium of bankers wherein the bankers agreed to enter into an Inter-creditor Agreement (ICA) for a potential
restructuring of company’s liabilities. In view thereof, the requirements in respect of creation of debenture redemption reserve and
the corresponding deposit in liquid assets shall be assessed upon conclusion of the restructuring plan. The Company is in the
process of submitting a resolution plan to the lenders and the lenders are expected to give an in-principle approval to the plan by
end of July 2019. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is predicated upon its ability to monetize its assets,
secure funding from the bankers / investors, restructure its liabilities and recommence its operations. In view of all the actions that
are currently underway, these financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern.
55 
Due to the current business environment, the Company no longer holds the project loans, SRA loans and wholesale mortgage loan
portfolio for the purposes of solely collecting the principal and interest. The Management envisages to monetise the wholesale
loan portfolio. Consequently, the said loans aggregating ` 3,488,160 lakh (including ` 1,648,717 lakh related to note 53) have
been reclassified as Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) as at March 31, 2019 due to the change in business model. As
required under Ind AS 109, these assets have been fair valued as at March 31, 2019 based on internal valuations which involve
management’s judgment and assumptions at ` 3,162,815 lakh and the resultant fair value loss aggregating ` 325,345 lakh (gross
of reversal of provision) has been charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
56 
The Company had commenced implementation of Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model as part of its Ind AS transition. During
the course of the audit, deficiencies have been identified in the historical data used for the purpose of determination of the ECL
provision. The Company is in the process of remediating the same, though does not consider the resultant impact to be material.
Additionally, the Company has also taken external bureau supportive information (i.e. CIBIL score range band – Probability of
default (PD) analysis) of our portfolio in comparison to Industry standards, which indicates that the PD of the Company’s Portfolio
is better than the Industry standard. Further, based on the Company’s borrower profile and CIBIL score the Company is convinced
of its assumptions supporting ECL calculation.
57 
The Company has received a letter dated July 3, 2019, from the National Housing Bank containing observations emanating from
the inspection carried out by NHB for the year ended March 31, 2018 as per the provisions of the National Housing Bank Act,
1987. There are observations in the letter inter-alia being impact on the Capital Adequacy Ratio of the Company as at March 31,
2018 reduced to 10.24%. NHB has directed the Company to provide a specific response to all the observations within a period
of 21 days. The management does not concur with the observation of the NHB and will provide an appropriate response within
the stipulated time. As mentioned in the note 55 above, on account of classification of project loans, SRA loans and wholesale
mortgage loans as Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) due to the change in business model as at March 31, 2019, has
resulted in a charge of fair value loss aggregating to ` 325,345 Lakh (gross of reversal of provision) to the Statement of Profit
and Loss. In view of these financial statements being prepared using Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) while the NHB
observations relate to numbers compiled on the basis of regulatory guidelines, the Management believes that the aforesaid
observations may not have any implications on the financial statements.
58 
The Company has recognized net deferred tax asset of ` 44,281 lakh as at March 31, 2019. Ind AS 12 – ‘Income Taxes’ requires
the Company to determine the probability of sufficient future taxable income to utilize the deferred tax asset. Considering the
factors described in Note 54, the Company is of the view that no adjustment is required to the carrying value of the deferred tax
asset.
59 
The Company has incurred expenditure aggregating ` 10,401 lakh for development of customised software for its operations and
recording of transactions which has been carried as intangible asset under development as at March 31, 2019. Considering the
factors described in Note 54, the Company is of the view that no adjustment is required to be made to the carrying value of the
intangible asset under development pursuant to the requirements of Ind AS 36 on Impairment of Assets.
60 
The National Housing Bank has imposed penalty of ` 0.65 lakh plus applicable taxes due to short provisioning on account of
wrong assets classification of 12 rescheduled/ restructured Slum Redevelopment Project loans and 1 non housing loan amounting
` 89,307 lakh in terms of paragraph 29(6) of the Housing Finance Companies (NHB) Directions, 2010 in respect of financial year
ended March 31, 2017.
