f) Determination of expected volatility
The measure of voLatiLity used in the BLack-SchoLes option pricing model, is the annuaLized standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of return on the stock over a period of time.
The determination of expected voLatiLity is based on historicaL voLatiLity of the stock over the most recent period that is generaLLy commensurate with the expected Life of the option being vaLued. The period considered for voLatiLity is adequate to represent a consistent trend in the price movements and the movements due to abnormal events are evened out.
Accordingly, since each vest has been considered as a separate grant, the model considers the volatility for periods, corresponding to the expected Lives of different vests, prior to the grant date. VoLatiLity has been calculated based on the daily dosing market price of the Company's stock price on NSE over these years. Similar approach was foLLowed in determination of expected volatility based on historical volatility for aLL the grants under the scheme.
In respect of stock options granted under EmpLoyee Stock Option Scheme 2010 and MMFSL RSU PLAN 2023, the accounting is done as per the requirements of Ind AS 102 - Share-based payment. Consequently, '7.25 crore (31st March 2024: '4.49 crore) has been incLuded under 'EmpLoyee Benefits Expense' as 'Share-based payment to empLoyees' based on respective grant date fair vaLue, after adjusting for reversaLs on account of options forfeited. The amount incLudes cost reimbursements (net of recoveries of ' 0.21 crore) to the hoLding company of '1.68 crore (31st March 2024: ' 1.69 crore) in respect of options granted to empLoyees of the Company and excLudes net recovery of '0.09 crore (31st March 2024: '0.01 crore) from its subsidiaries for options granted to their empLoyees.
35 Employee benefitsGeneral description of defined benefit plansGratuity
The Company provides for the gratuity, a defined benefit retirement pLan covering quaLifying empLoyees . The pLan provides for Lump sum payments to empLoyees upon death whiLe in empLoyment or on separation from empLoyment after serving for the stipuLated period mentioned under The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Company makes annuaL contribution to the Gratuity scheme administered by the Life Insurance Corporation of India, HDFC Life and Kotak Life insurance through its Gratuity fund.
Post retirement medical cover
The Company provides for post retirement medicaL cover to seLect grade of empLoyees to cover the retiring empLoyee and their spouse up to a specified age through MedicLaim poLicy on which the premiums are paid by the Company. The eLigibiLity of the empLoyee for the benefit as weLL as the amount of medicaL cover purchased is determined by the grade of the empLoyee at the time of retirement.
Through its defined benefit pLans the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detaiLed beLow:
Investment risk -
The pLan LiabiLities are caLcuLated using a discount rate set with references to government bond yieLds; if pLan assets underperform compared to this yieLd, this wiLL create or increase a deficit. CurrentLy, for the pLan in India, it has a reLativeLy baLanced mix of investments in government securities, and other debt instruments
Interest rate risk -
A decrease in government bond yieLds wiLL increase pLan LiabiLities, although this is expected to be partiaLLy offset by an increase in the vaLue of the pLan's investment in debt instruments.
Variability in withdrawal rates -
If actuaL withdrawaL rates are higher than assumed withdrawaL rate assumption then the gratuity benefits wiLL be paid earLier than expected. The impact of this wiLL depend on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.
Regulatory Risk -
Gratuity Benefit must compLy with the requirements of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 (as amended up-to-date). There is a risk of change in the reguLations requiring higher gratuity payments (e.g. raising the present ceiLing of ' 20,00,000, raising accruaL rate from 15/26 etc.).
Inflation risk -
The present vaLue of some of the defined benefit pLan obLigations are caLcuLated with 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 post retirement medicaL benefit obLigation is sensitive to medicaL inflation and accordingLy, an increase in medicaL inflation rate wouLd increase the pLan's LiabiLity
Salary Risk -
The present vaLue of the defined benefit pLan LiabiLity is caLcuLated by reference to the future saLaries of members. As such, an increase in the saLary of the members more than assumed LeveL wiLL increase the pLan's LiabiLity.
Asset Liability Matching Risk -
The pLan faces the ALM risk as to the matching cash flow. Since the pLan is invested in Lines of RuLe 101 of Income Tax RuLes, 1962, this generaLLy reduces ALM risk.
Concentration Risk -
PLan is having a concentration risk as all the assets are invested with the insurance company and a default wiLL wipe out a! the assets. Although probability of this is very Low.
Life expectancy -
The present vaLue of defined benefit pLan obligation is caLcuLated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants, both during and after the employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants wiU increase the plan's liability.
If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption then the gratuity benefits wiLL be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit, the acceleration of cashflow wiLL lead to an actuarial Loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
The estimate of future saLary increases, considered in actuarial, valuation, considers inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.
The pLan assets have been primariLy invested in government securities and corporate bonds.
The cost of the defined benefit plans and other long term benefits are determined using actuarial valuations. Actuarial valuations involve making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These includes the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rate. Due to these complexity involved in the valuation it is highly sensitive to the changes in these assumptions. ALL assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the related current service cost and planned service cost were measured using the projected unit cost method.
The Company's contribution to provident fund, superannuation fund and national pension scheme aggregating to ' 80.67 crore (31st March 2024: '78.39 crore) has been recognized in the Statement of profit and Loss under the head Employee benefits expense.
The Company has not funded its compensated absences liability and the same continues to remain as unfunded as at 31st March 2025.
Discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian Government Bonds as at the balance sheet date for the estimated term of the obligation.

45 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
As per Section 135 of the the Companies Act, 2013, the Company is required to spend 2% of its average Net Profit of the immediately three preceding financial years on CSR.
The Company's CSR mission aims to actively contribute to the socio-economic development of communities, enabling individuals to partake in and derive benefits from the ongoing socio-economic progress. The Company is dedicated to integrating economically, physicaky, and sociaUy chakenged groups into mainstream society through its CSR initiatives.
The CSR activities of the Company shak include, but not limited to any or afl of the sectors/activities as may be prescribed by Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013 amended from time to time. Further, the Company
e) Nature of CSR activities: Contributions / donations made to the trusts which are engaged in activities prescribed under section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Schedule VII to the said Act and CSR activities undertaken by the Company.
f) Provision made with respect to a liability already incurred by entering into a contractual obligation : Nil
46 There was no Scheme of Arrangements approved by the Competent Authority in terms of sections 230 to 237 of the Companies Act, 2013 during the year.
a) Pricing Risk
47 The Company has a process whereby periodically all Long term contracts (incLuding derivative contracts) are assessed for materiaL foreseeable Losses. At the year end, the Company has reviewed and ensured that adequate provision as required under any law / accounting standards for material foreseeable losses on such long term contracts (including derivative contracts) has been made in the books of accounts.
The Company's Investments in Commercial Papers, Certificate of Deposits with Banks and Mutual Funds are exposed to pricing risk. A 5 percent increase in market price would increase profit before tax by approximately ' 150.11 crore (31st March 2024 : ' 88.90 crore). A similar percentage decrease would have resulted equivalent opposite impact.
b) Currency Risk
Currency Risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument wiU. fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign currency risk arise majofly on account of foreign currency borrowings. The Company's foreign currency exposures are managed in accordance with its derivative Risk Management Policy which has been approved by its Board of Directors. The Company manages its foreign currency risk by entering into forward contract, cross currency swaps, principal and interest rate swaps. Other derivative Instruments may be used if deemed appropriate.
49 Financial Risk Management Framework
In the course of its business, the Company is exposed to certain financial risks namely credit risk, interest risk, currency risk & liquidity risk. The Company's primary focus is to achieve better predictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance.
The financial risks are managed in accordance with the Company's risk management policy which has been approved by its Board of Directors.
Board of Directors of the Company have established Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO), which is responsible for developing and monitoring risk management policies for its business. The Company's financial services business is exposed to high credit risk given the unbanked rural customer base and diminishing value of collateral The credit risk is managed through credit norms established based on historical experience.
49.1 Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments wil fluctuate due to changes in market variables such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, etc. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while maximizing the return.
Hedge Accounting - Forwards & Swaps
Contracts that meet the requirements for hedge accounting are accounted as per the hedge accounting requirements of Ind AS 109 -Financial Instruments. 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. Hedge effectiveness for afl hedges are 100%.
The sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
c) Interest Rate Risk
The Company uses a mix of cash and borrowings to manage the Liquidity & fund requirements of its day-to-day operations. Further, certain interest bearing Liabilities carry variabLe interest rates.
Interest Rate risk on variable rate borrowings is managed by way of interest rate swaps, wherever necessary.
Interest Rate sensitivity
The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on exposure to interest rate for both derivative and non-derivative instruments at the end of reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, analysis is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year.
The foLLowing table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings affected. With aLL other variables held constant, the Company's profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as foLLows:
49.2 Credit Risk Management
Credit risk is the risk that the Company wik incur a Loss because its customers fail to discharge their contractual obligations. The Company has a comprehensive framework for monitoring credit quaLity of aLL its portfolios under respective business verticaLs based on Days past due. The customer repayment and portfoLio is tracked regularly and required steps for recovery are taken through foU.ow ups and legal recourse.
i) Credit Quality of Financial Assets
The foLLowing tabLe sets out information about credit quaLity of Loans and investments measured at amortized cost primariLy based on days past due information. The amount represents gross carrying amount.
The Credit quaLity of the Loans is monitored concurrently. Since the Company is primariLy into retaiL Lending business, there is no significant credit risk of any individual customer that may impact the Company adverseLy, and hence the Company has caLcuLated its ECL aLLowances on a coLLective basis.
ii) Inputs considered in the ECL model
In assessing the impairment of financiaL Loans under Expected Credit Loss (ECL) ModeL, the assets have been classified into three stages. The three stages reflect the generaL pattern of credit deterioration of a financiaL instrument. The differences in accounting between stages, reLate to the recognition of expected credit Losses and the measurement of interest income.
The Company categorizes Loan assets (except Trade advances) into stages primariLy based on the Days Past Due status.
Stage 1 : 0-30 days past due Stage 2 : 31- 90 days past due Stage 3 : More than 90 days
The Company categorizes Trade advances into stages primariLy based on the Days Past Due status. Stage 1 : 0-60 days past due Stage 2 : 61- 90 days past due Stage 3 : More than 90 days
The ECL estimates are forward Looking and incLude probability weighted outcomes. A macroeconomic overLay is appLied to the observed default rate (ODR) considering portfoLio specific macroeconomic factors that affect the Probability of Default (PD) due to underlying economic conditions of the country.
The Company has computed expected credit Losses for Trade Advance PortfoLio based on historical movement data, capturing transitions between stages and Loss on historicaLLy written off unrecovered amounts from deaLers.
For Leasing portfoLio comprising of Operating and Finance Lease, the Company uses ECL coverage of Industry Peers in simiLar business Line, considering Limited history of coLLection and Loss data for the compLeted Life cycLe for these portfolios which is needed for determining PD and LGD parameters for computation of ECL aLLowance.
iii) Definition of default
The Company considers a financiaL asset to be in "default" and therefore Stage 3 (credit impaired) for ECL caLcuLations when the borrower account becomes more than 90 days past due on its contractual payments.
Since the Company's portfoLio predominantly incLudes retaiL vehicLe Loan portfoLio with around 3 miLLion Loan accounts making it difficult to define default at an individual Loan account, the Company has considered the event of default when overdue is more than 90 days past due. The same is aLso in Line with the regulator's definition of default, when overdue is more than 90 days past due.
iv) Exposure at default
Exposure at Default" (EAD) represents the gross exposure baLance when default had occurred. EAD is subject to impairment caLcuLation for Stage 3 assets. Future Expected Cash flows (Principal and Interest) for future years has been used as exposure for Stage 2.
v) Estimations and assumptions considered in the ECL model
The Company has made the foLLowing assumptions in the ECL ModeL:
a) Loss Given Default (LGD):
- LGD represents expected Losses on the EAD given the event of default, taking into account the time vaLue of cash flows from the date of default, discounted on effective interest rate (EIR). It is an estimate of the Loss from a transaction given that a default occurred.
GeneraLLy, common LGD is appLied on the exposures in all the three stages.
WhiLe, the generaL approach / methodoLogy remains the same, the measurement of ECL on retaiL vehicLe Loans is done on a sLightly differentiated approach as mentioned here beLow.
- For Stage 3 assets with an ageing more than 18 months (540 DPD) (stressed portfoLio), provision is caLcuLated by appLying LGD at higher rate. Higher LGD rate is determined based on the historical Loss that has occurred during the tenor of individual assets forming part of specific portfoLio of contracts with an ageing of more than 18 months (540 DPD) at the historical period end date (i.e. 42 months from the reset /reporting date) based on the average Life of the portfoLio and is considered as modeL provision for ECL caLcuLation instead of separate classification as overLay provision;
- For Stage 3 assets with an ageing up to 18 months (540 DPD), provision is caLcuLated by appLying the Composite LGD rate#;
- For Stage 1 and Stage 2 assets, continue to derive and appLy Composite LGD rate in caLcuLation of Loss aLLowances.
# Composite LGD rate : It is an estimate of the Loss from a transaction given that a default occurs. It is based on the historical Loss on the portfoLio that has occurred during the tenor of the individual assets forming part of the portfoLio. For caLcuLating LGD, the Company takes into consideration the Stage 2 assets that have reached 90+ DPD in the past and Stage 3 cases of historical period end date (i.e. 42 months from the reset /reporting date) based on the average Life of the portfoLio. ActuaL cash flows pertaining to this portfoLio from the first default date to current reset/reporting date are then discounted at Loan EIR rate for arriving at this Loss rate.
b) Probability of Default (PD):
- It is an estimate of LikeLihood of default occurring over a particular time horizon.
- For Stage 1 assets, 12 months PD is caLcuLated .
- For Stage 2 assets , life time PD is calculated for which a PD term structure is built.
- PD is applied on Stage 1 and Stage 2 assets on a portfolio basis;
- For Stage 3 assets, PD is always at 100% as these are impaired assets.
The underlying methodology of Historical PD calculation remains the same for both Stage 1 and Stage 2 assets.
(vi) Measurement of ECL
The assessment of credit risk and estimation of ECL are unbiased and probability weighted.
It incorporates al information that is relevant including information about past events, current conditions and reasonable forecasts of future events and economic conditions at the reporting date. In addition, the estimation of ECL takes into account the time value of money. Forward looking economic scenarios determined with reference to external forecasts of economic parameters that have demonstrated a linkage to the performance of respective portfolios over a period of time have been applied to determine impact of macroeconomic factors.
ECL aUowance (or provision) on Stage 1 and Stage 2 assets is measured using portfolio approach, whereas impairment provisions on Stage 3 assets is measured at each individual asset / instrument level.
- Financial assets that are not credit impaired at the reporting date:
ECL for Stage 1 : Gross exposure is multiplied by PD and Composite LGD percentage to arrive at the ECL allowance;
- Financial assets that have had a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) since initial recognition (unless they have low credit risk at the reporting date) but that do not have objective evidence of impairment:
ECL for Stage 2 : Future Expected Cash flows (Principal and Interest) for respective future years is multiplied by respective years Marginal PDs and Composite LGD percentage and thus arrived ECL aUowance is then discounted with the respective loan EIR to calculate the present value of ECL alowance. In addition, in case of Bils discounting and Channel finance, as the average lifetime is of 90 days, a time to maturity factor of 0.25 is used in the ECL computation.
- Financial assets that are credit impaired at the reporting date:
ECL for Stage 3: Difference between the gross exposure at reporting date and computed carrying amount considering EAD net of LGD and PV of actual cash flows til reporting date including compounded interest at loan EIR on net carrying value.
For Stage 3 assets in retail portfolio, ECL alowance is calculated separately as folows:
- Stage 3 assets with ageing up to 18 months (< =540 DPD)
ECL alowance = (Gross exposure on reporting date less Required Carrying value-A)
Required Carrying value-A ={EAD less ECL alowance at Composite LGD rate less PV of actual cashflows til reporting date plus interest compounded @ loan EIR]
- Stage 3 assets with ageing more than 18 months (>540 DPD)
ECL alowance = (Gross exposure on reporting date less Required Carrying value-B)
Required Carrying value-B ={EAD less ECL alowance at Higher LGD rate less PV of actual cashflows til reporting date plus interest compounded @ loan EIR]
Undrawn loan commitments:
ECL on undrawn loan commitments is calculated basis the Stage in which that particular customer already exists.
ECL on Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) portfolio:
For loans provided under SME vertical, the general approach / methodology remains similar to the retail vehicle loans.
The Business Enterprise and Retail Enterprise Portfolio has been further segregated into secured and unsecured portfolio.
A distinct PD specific to secured loans, including LAP, has been derived based on historical performance.
A separate PD has been calculated for unsecured loans, reflecting their higher risk profile.
Segmenting PD by secured and unsecured loans improves precision in risk measurement and aligns with the portfolio composition.
The portfolio's Observed Default Rate (ODR) is modeled using historical data (secured and unsecured loans considered together), leveraging an approach similar to Wheels Business incorporating a three variable regression model.
The LGD approach focuses exclusively on cases where loans have defaulted, and al associated colections have been fuly realized.
ECL on Lease business portfolio:
The customer segment catered under leasing business consist of employees of corporates (Employee Lease Programs) and B2B segment which includes business entities, firms, trusts and societies, fleet operators, commercial vehicles, construction equipment etc.
Since the Lease business comprising Operating and Finance lease is relatively a new line of business, there is limited history of colection and Loss data for the completed life cycle for these portfolios which is needed for determining PD and LGD parameters for computation of ECL alowance.
In view of the above, the Company has adopted Industry level benchmark, i.e. ECL coverage rate, for estimating ECL alowance on operating and finance lease portfolio considering the similarities in products offered, customer segments catered and average tenure of lease contracts.
ECL on Trade Advance portfolio:
The portfolio comprises of short-term advance to M&M and Non M&M dealers.
The Interest-Free Trade Advance (IFTA) period generaly ranges between 15 days to 75 days for Trade Advance (TA) facilities offered to dealers.
SICR is assumed at 60 days past the lending date, considering the due date logic instead of Days Past Due (DPD) logic.
The Company has computed Through the Cycle (TTC) PDs based on month-on-month transition matrix of historical movement data, capturing transitions between stages. These transition probabilities are used as input to caLcuLate TTC PDs. Given the short tenure of the faciLity, management beLieves that the impact of macro economic factors may not impact the PD of the portfolio in the short span.
The company has historically written off unrecovered amounts from dealers in adherence to the Technical Write off policy. The portfolio's own historical experience provides a reliable LGD estimate which is considered for ECL computation.
ECL on Investments:
The company applies a structured and comprehensive ECL approach to three critical investment categories: Investments in Government Securities (G-Secs), Bonds, Commercial Papers (CPs), and Certificates of Deposit (CDs), Liquidity Pools for Short-Term Requirements, and Pass-Through Certificates (PTCs) from securitisation transactions.
i. Investments in G-Secs, Bonds, CP, and CD
Investments in G-Secs, Bonds, CP, and CD are measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) or other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
Periodic revaluations ensure that market fluctuations and credit risks are accurately captured.
Fluctuations in fair value are recorded in the profit and loss account or other comprehensive income, depending on the classification of the asset.
ii. Liquidity Pool Investments
Liquidity pool investments are categorized as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) or other comprehensive income (FVOCI) as per Ind AS 109.
Regular revaluations align their valuation with prevailing market conditions.
Fluctuations in the fair value are recorded directly in the profit and loss account or other comprehensive income, depending on the classification.
Exemption from Impairment Testing:
Since these assets are measured at fair value, additional impairment testing is not required under Ind AS 109. The fair value inherently reflects:
a. Market Volatility: Adjustments for prevailing economic and market conditions.
b. Credit Risk: Assessment of the issuer's creditworthiness.
c. Governance Practices: Regular compliance reviews ensure alignment with regulatory guidelines. Transparent reporting of valuation methodologies enhances stakeholder confidence.
iii. Pass through Certificates (PTCs):
The creditworthiness of the underlying loan pool is assessed using historical performance data, default rates, and recovery trends.
Insights from these evaluations guide the classification and risk provisioning of PTC investments.
Stage Classification:
Stage 1: Investments with Low credit risk, requiring computation of 12-month ECL.
Stage 2: Investments with a significant increase in credit risk, necessitating lifetime ECL.
Stage 3: Defaulted investments, for which Lifetime ECL is caLcuLated with eLevated provisioning requirements.
ECL Estimation Metrics:
Probability of Default (PD): Based on historical data and forward-Looking macroeconomic factors. Loss Given Default (LGD): Reflecting recovery rates and collateral quality.
Exposure at Default (EAD): The total value exposed to credit risk.
Time Value Adjustment: Future ECL amounts are discounted to present value using the effective interest rate, ensuring accurate reflection of economic impacts.
ECL on Other Financial Assets:
MMFSL has Simplified Approach to Expected Credit Loss (ECL) under Ind AS 109 for other financial assets that involve credit risk. This approach is considered suitable for as receivables portfolios as ageing and historical recovery trends are the primary drivers of credit risk assessment. These assets incLude receivabLes, Insurance CLaims, Professional Charges, Interest ReceivabLes (Interest accrued but not yet received), Brokerage etc.
The calculation of lifetime ECL is based on historical coverage rates which incorporates Probability of Default (PD) and Loss Given Default (LGD). The coverage rate is used to estimate the credit Loss for each ageing bucket, avoiding the need to compute PD and LGD separately.
Receivables Outstanding < 90 DPD: A specific coverage rate is applied based on historical recovery patterns from wheels portfolio which is the largest portfolio for MMFSL and reflects Long term trends.
ReceivabLes Outstanding > 90 DPD: A 100% coverage rate is appLied, assuming aLL receivabLes aged beyond 90 days are fuLLy uncoLLectibLe based on historical trends.
(vii) Forward Looking adjustments
The Historical PDs are converted into forward looking Point-in-Time PDs using statistical model incorporating the forward Looking economic outLook, as required by Ind AS 109.
The macroeconomic variables considered by the Company are robust reflections of the state of economy which result into systematic risk for the respective product categories.
Additionally, three different scenarios have been considered for ECL calculation. Along with the actual numbers (considered for Base case scenario and worst case scenario), best case scenarios has not been provided weightage to take care of the forward Looking economic outLook.
(viii) Assessment of significant increase in credit risk
When determining whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company considers both quantitative and qualitative information and anaLysis based on the Company's historical experience, including forward-Looking information. As per Ind AS 109, Loans are required to be moved from Stage 1 to Stage 2 if and only if they have been the subject of a SICR. A SICR occurs when there has been a significant increase in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of a financial instrument. In line with Basel guidance on ECL, the definition of default and the convention for counting days past due adopted for accounting purposes will be guided by the definition used for regulatory purposes The Company considers reasonable and supportabLe information that is reLevant and avaiLabLe without undue cost and effort. The Company's accounting policy is not to use the practical expedient that the financial
assets with 'Low' credit risk at the reporting date are deemed not to have had a significant increase in credit risk (SICR). As a result, the Company monitors aLL financiaL assets and Loan commitments that are subject to impairment for SICR.
As a part of the qualitative assessment of whether a customer is in default, the Company also considers a variety of instances that may indicate unLikeLiness to pay. In such instances, the Company treats the customer at default and therefore assesses such loans as Stage 3 for ECL calculations. Such qualitative factors include:
i. A Stage 3 customer having other loans which are in Stage 1 or 2.
ii. Not to consider Uncleared cheques as on reporting date for outstanding DPD calculation for retail vehicle loans
iii. Retail vehicle loans, where asset has been repossessed.
iv. Cases where Company suspects fraud and legal proceedings are initiated.
v. SME loans where the Company has resorted to its rights under the SARFAESI Act.
vi. Exposure of co -applicant is considered for provision in Stage 3.
Further, the Company classifies certain category of exposures in to Stage 3 and makes acceLerated provision up to 100% based on qualitative assessment impLying the significant deterioration in asset quality or increase in credit risk on selective basis.
The Company reguLarLy reviews it's ECL modeL based on actuaL Loss experience and update the parameters used for ECL calculations.
(ix) Policy for write off of Loan Assets
The gross carrying amount of a financiaL asset is written off when there is no reaListic prospect of further recovery. This is generaLLy the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that couLd generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the writeoff. However, financiaL assets that are written off couLd stiLL be subject to enforcement activities under the Company's recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made from written off assets are netted off against the amount of financiaL assets written off during the year under "Bad debts and write offs" forming part of "Impairment on financiaL instruments" in Statement of profit and Loss.
(x) Inputs to the model
a. Observed Default Rates (ODRs) over past 60 months for each product category
b. Macro economic variables provided by Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU)# for the past 5 years
c. Macro economic variables projected by EIU for the next 5 years
# The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) is the research and analysis division of the Economist Group, providing forecasting, macro-economic analysis and advisory services through research and analysis, such as monthly country reports, five-year country economic forecasts, country risk service reports, and industry reports.
A. Model process
a. Macro economic historical variables are tested for statistical robustness and filtered
b. These are converted into quarterly numbers appLying cubic spLine technique
c. Variables that are acceptable are regressed with historical ODRs, considering 3 variables at a time.
d. These combinations are further tested for statistical robustness.
e. Those that pass the test are sorted on R squared (fitness) and the best fit is seLected.
f This combination is passed through the Vasicek modeL to derive scaLars that are used to project future PDs.
B. I n the selection of macro-economic variables, the management considers best combination of variables for its respective product categories based on statistically tested model output representing higher level of correlation and as well as those which have business relevance as per management assessment.
C. I n the selection of macro-economic variables for the best combination, the following parameters are considered:
The contractual amount outstanding for trade advance that has been written off by the Company during the year ended 31st March 2025 and that were stilt subject to enforcement activity was ' 1.60 crore (31st March 2024: ' 3.36 crore).
Level of Assessment - Aggregation Criteria
The Company recognizes the expected credit Losses (ECL) on a collective basis that takes into account comprehensive credit risk information.
Considering the economic and risk characteristics, pricing range, sector concentration (e.g. vehicLe Loans in unorganized sectors) the Company calculates ECL on a colective basis for a! stages - Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 assets.
The contractual amount outstanding on financial investments that has been written off by the Company during the year ended 31st March 2025 and that were stiLL subject to enforcement activity was nil (31st March 2024 : nil).
Significant changes in the gross carrying value that contributed to change in loss allowance
The Company mostly provide loans to retail individual customers, which is of small ticket size. Change in any single customer repayment will not impact significantly to Company's provisioning. All customers are being monitored based on past due and corrective actions are taken accordingly to limit the Company's risk.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's loan portfolio is predominantly to finance retail automobile loans. The Company manages concentration of risk primarily by geographical region in India. The following tables show the geographical concentrations of loans and trade advances:
Maximum Exposure to credit Risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk of loans and investment securities is their carrying amount. The maximum exposure is before considering the effect of mitigation through collateral.
Narrative Description of Collateral
Collateral primarily include vehicles purchased by retail loan customers and machinery & property in case of SME customers. The financial investments are secured by way of a first ranking pari-passu and charge created by way of hypothecation on the receivables of the other company.
Quantitative Information of Collateral
The Company monitors its exposure to loan portfolio using the Loan To Value (LTV) ratio, which is calculated as the ratio of the gross amount of the loan to the value of the collateral. The value of the collateral for Retail loans is derived by writing down the asset cost at origination by 20% p.a on reducing balance basis. And the value of the collateral of Stage 3 Retail loans is based on the Indian Blue Book value for the particular asset. The value of collateral of SME loans is based on fair market value of the collaterals held.
49.3 Liquidity Risk Management
Ultimate responsibility for Liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has established Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) for the management of the Company's short, medium and Long-term funding and Liquidity management requirements. The Company manages Liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
a) Maturity profile of non-derivative financial liabilities
The Throwing tables detail the Company's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The amount disclosed in the tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted contractual cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows.
To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of the reporting period. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company may be required to pay.
Valuation methodologies of financial instruments not measured at fair value
c) Equity Investments designated at Fair value through Other Comprehensive Income
The Company has made the beLow equity investments neither for the purpose of trading nor for the purpose of acquiring controlling stake, and accordingly, the investment has been classified in other comprehensive income as per Ind AS 109.5.7.5.
Below are the methodologies and assumptions used to determine fair values for the above financial instruments which are not recorded and measured at fair value in the Company's financial statements. These fair values were calculated for disclosure purposes only.
Short-term financial assets and liabilities
For financial assets and financial liabilities that have a short-term maturity (less than twelve months), the carrying amounts, which are net of impairment, are a reasonable approximation of their fair vaLue. Such instruments include: cash and cash equivalent, trade receivables, balances other than cash and cash equivalents, term deposits and trade payables. Further, such financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed at Level 1 fair value.
Loans and advances to customers
The fair values of loans and advances are estimated by discounted cash flow models based on contractual cash flows using actual yields.
Financial Investments
For Government Securities and bonds, the quoted market price as on date of reporting is considered for fair value computations. Where such price is not available, quoted market price of similar instruments as on date of reporting is considered.
Borrowings other than deposits from public
The fair value of borrowings is estimated by a discounted cash flow model incorporating interest rate estimates from market-observable data such as secondary prices for its traded debt itself.
Deposits from public
The fair value of deposits received from public is estimated by discounting the future cash flows considering the interest rate applicable on the reporting date for that class of deposits segregated by their tenure.
b) Exchange Traded Interest Rate (IR) Derivatives
The Company is not carrying out any activity of providing Derivative cover to third parties.
c) Disclosures on Risk Exposure in Derivatives Qualitative Disclosures -
i) The Company undertakes the derivatives transaction to prudently hedge the risk in context of a particular borrowing or to diversify sources of borrowing and to maintain fixed and floating borrowing mix. The Company does not induLge into any derivative trading transactions. The Company reviews, the proposed transaction and outLine any considerations associated with the transaction, including identification of the benefits and potential risks (worst case scenarios); an independent analysis of potential savings from the proposed transaction. The Company evaluates afl the risks inherent in the transaction viz., counter Party risk, Market Risk, Operational Risk, Basis risk etc.
ii) Credit risk is controLLed by restricting the counterparties that the Company deaLs with, to those who either have banking relationship with the Company or are internationally renowned or can provide sufficient information. Market/Price risk arising from the fluctuations of interest rates and foreign exchange rates or from other factors shaLL be closely monitored and controLLed. NormaUy transaction entered for hedging, wifl run tik its life, irrespective of profit or Loss. However in case of exceptions it has to be un-winded onLy with prior approvaL of M.D / CFO / Treasurer. Liquidity risk is controLLed by restricting counterparties to those who have adequate facility, sufficient information, and sizable trading capacity and capabiLity to enter into transactions in any markets around the worLd.
iii) The respective functions of trading, confirmation and settlement should be performed by different personnel. The front office and back-office role is wefl defined and segregated. All the derivatives transactions is quarterLy monitored and reviewed by CFO and Treasurer. ALL the derivative transactions have to be reported to the Board of Directors on every quarterLy board meetings incLuding their financial positions.
b) During the current year and the previous year, the Company has not transferred or acquired any stressed Loans.
c) During the current year and the previous year, the Company has not acquired any loans not in default through assignment.

iii) Policy for sales / transfers out of amortized cost business model portfolios Sale/ transfer of portfolios out of amortized cost business model:
As a short-term financing arrangement, the Company has been transferring or seLLing certain pooLs of fixed rate loan receivables backed by underlying assets in the form of tractors, vehicles, equipments etc. by entering in to securitization transactions with the SpeciaL Purpose VehicLe Trusts ("SPV Trust") sponsored by Commercial banks for consideration received in cash at the inception of the transaction. As a part of annual budgetary planning and with the objective of better liquidity and risk management, the Company, at the beginning of the year, obtains approval of Asset Liability Committee and Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors for undertaking securitization transactions of certain vaLue of standard assets comprising the coLLateraL based loan receivables at appropriate times during the year.
These transactions are carried out after compLying with RBI guideLines on securitization of standard assets. The consideration received through such securitization transactions is utiLized for funding reguLar vehicLe Loan disbursements to customers who service their Loans through fixed instaLments over a specified period of Loan tenor. Besides using securitization as aLternate financing tooL, it is aLso being used as a effective BaLance sheet management through better liquidity and risk management by transfer of assets from risk averse to risk takers.
When the assets in the form of Loan receivabLes are soLd / transferred to an SPV/Bank through securitization transaction, then on a consolidated portfolio level, such sale/transfer does not change the Company's business objective of hoLding financiaL assets to coLLect contractuaL cash flows.
The Company remains exposed to credit risk, being the expected Losses that wiLL be incurred on the securitized loan portfolio to the extent of the credit enhancement provided. Any increase in losses as compared to the expected Loss shafl require the Company to present its credit enhancement / cash collateral to help compensate the investors. This is as per the requirement of the Reserve Bank of India. Thus, the Company as per Ind AS 109 has retained substantiaLLy aLL the risks and rewards of ownership of the financiaL asset.
The Company derecognizes a financiaL asset when the contractuaL rights to the cash flows from the financiaL asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractuaL cash flows in a transaction in which substantiaLLy aLL of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financiaL asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially aU. of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financiaL asset.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized on its baLance sheet, but retains either aU. or substantially aU. of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognized.
AccordingLy, these financiaL assets are not de-recognized by the Company from the financiaL statements prepared under Ind AS. Since the contractuaL terms of these financiaL assets give rise to cash flows, that are soLeLy payments of principaL and interest, on specified dates, these assets meet the SPPI criterion and are thus continued to be recognized in the books at amortized cost.
