investor interests, and ensure the efficient utilization of resources. By defining the parameters of our
NCD issuance process, this policy aligns our operations with regulatory mandates and industry best
practices.
Our policy encompasses critical elements that govern the issuance of NCDs, including the minimum
subscription per investor, categorization of NCDs based on subscription amounts, limitations on
subscriber counts, security provisions, utilization of proceeds, and prohibition against extending loans
against our own debentures. By adhering to these principles, we aim to secure the confidence of our
stakeholders and promote responsible financial conduct.
This preamble sets the stage for a comprehensive policy that underscores our commitment to
responsible financial management. By adhering to the provisions outlined within this policy, we intend
