Evaluation Methodology
The impact analysis has been conducted using both quantitative and qualitative methods based on program structures.
• Quantitative tools- Survey based semi structured interviews.
• Qualitative tools- Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) and Focused Group Discussions (FGDs).
These tools were used to interact with key program stakeholders to identify the key program indicators along with key review
of program documents.
The framework for impact analysis has been developed under the guidance of Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development Assistance Committee (OECD DAC) as follows:
• Relevance
• Coherence
• Effectiveness
• Efficiency
• Impact
• Sustainability
The indicators used to assess relevance, coherence, efficiency, and sustainability within our matrix are similar for all programs.
However, the parameters of effectiveness and impact are specific to each individual program or project.
The below section will provide a summary of key evaluation indicators for each program.
A. Aga Khan Rural Support Program- Improving Quality of Preschool and Primary Education and Infrastructure

of water stations and toilets, as well as various wall paintings and library setups. ICDS centers also received e-learning

program provided training for Anganwadi workers on Nayi Pahal Modules and e-learning tools.

There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument as the terms of the cross currency swap
contract match that of the foreign currency borrowing (notional amount, interest payment dates, principal repayment date etc.).
The Company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the cross currency swap
are identical to the hedged risk components. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Company uses the hypothetical derivative
method and compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of the hedged
items attributable to the hedged risks. The hedge ineffectiveness can arise mainly if there is a change in the credit risk of the
Company or the counterparty.

Special Reserve: Special reserve represents the reserve created pursuant to the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 (the "RBI Act").
Appropriation from this Reserve Fund is permitted only for the purposes specified by RBI.
Capital Reserve: Capital reserve refers to difference on account of net assets taken over and purchase consideration paid for
merger of wealth management undertaking of Aditya Birla Money Mart Limited with the Company and the difference on account
of net assets taken over and purchase consideration paid for merger of transaction business of Aditya Birla Capital Technology
Services Limited, ABCTSL (formerly known as Aditya Birla My Universe Limited, ABMUL) undertaking with the Company.
Capital Redemption reserve: Preference shares of ₹ 10 Crore were redeemed at the Board meeting held on 30 th January,
2020. As per the provisions of Companies Act, 2013, the preference shares were redeemed out of the profits of the company
and therefore a sum equivalent to the nominal amount of shares redeemed were transferred to capital redemption reserve.
Share options outstanding account: Share options outstanding account is created as required by Ind AS 102 'Share Based
Payments' on the Employee Stock Option Scheme operated by the Company for employees of the Company.
General Reserve: This reserve is created on account of merger. As per court order, this reserve can be utilised for distribution
of dividends.
Retained Earnings: Retained earnings refer to the percentage of net earnings not paid out as dividends, but retained by the
Company to be reinvested in its core business, or to pay debts.
Other Comprehensive Income: The Company has elected to recognise changes in the fair value of certain instruments in
equity securities and debt instruments in other comprehensive income. These changes are accumulated with the FVTOCI reserve
within equity. The Company transfers amounts from this reserve to retained earnings when the relevant equity securities are
de-recognised.
The Company uses hedging instruments as part of its management of foreign currency risk and interest rate risk associated on
borrowings. For hedging foreign currency and interest rate risk, the Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and cross
currency interest rate swaps. To the extent these hedges are effective, the change in fair value of the hedging instrument is
recognised in the cash flow hedging reserve. Amounts recognised in the cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified to the statement
of profit or loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss (e.g. interest payments).

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the
requirements of the financial covenants. The Company monitors capital using a capital adequacy ratio, which is weighted assets
divided by total capital derived as per the RBI requirements. As per the RBI guidelines, Company being a Non Banking Finance
Company has to maintain 15% of capital adequacy ratio.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company’s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it
meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants
would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any
interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current year.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended 31st March, 2023

Valuation methodologies of financial instruments not measured at fair value: 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: The carrying amounts of cash & cash equivalents, other bank balance, trade
receivables, other financial assets, trade payables and other financial liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values,
due to their short-term nature.
Borrowings
Floating Rate Borrowings: Floating rate borrowings are valued on the basis of Applicable Benchmark (viz; Tenor Linked T-Bill,
Repo Rate, Tenor Linked MCLR, or any external benchmark as the case may be) + Spread, if applicable.
Fixed Rate Borrowings: Fixed rated borrowing are valued on the basis of valuation report shared by ICRA.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal
(or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e., an exit price), regardless of whether
that price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique. In order to show how fair values have been derived,
financial instruments are classified based on a hierarchy of valuation techniques, as explained below :
Level 1: hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, units of
mutual funds (open ended) and traded bonds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments (including bonds)
which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market 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 input is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

Investment in Preference Shares: Investment made in preference share is not actively traded on stock exchange and
such instrument are classified as level 2.
Investment in Govt Securities : The fair values of investments made in Government Securities is based on valuation
report from ICRA as at the reporting period and the same are classified under Level 2.
Investment in Alternate funds and Mutual funds : Units held in funds of AIF and Mutual funds are measured based on
their net asset value (NAV), taking into account redemption and/or other restrictions. Such instruments are generally Level
2. NAV represents the price at which the issuer will issue further units of AIF and the price at which issuers will redeem such
units from the investors.
I nvestment in Debt Securities: Fair value of these instrument is derived based on the indicative quote of price and yields
prevailing in the market as at reporting date. Company has used quoted price of national stock exchange wherever bonds
are traded actively. In cases where debt securities are not actively traded company has used CRISIL corporate bond valuer
model for measuring fair value i.e. fair value has been computed using the Fixed Income Money Market and Derivatives
Association of India (‘FIMMDA’) data on corporate bond spreads and such instruments are classified as Level 2.
Derivative Financial Instruments : A generally accepted framework for the valuation of the swap explains the position
in each leg of the swap as a ‘bond’. Therefore, a receive floating - pay fixed swap can be viewed as a portfolio consisting
a short position in fixed bond and long position a floating rate bond. The value of the swap is the net proceeds from such
bond positions i.e. Receipt – Payment. The swaps were valued on and with inputs from the swap providers using the terms
of the swap contract.

characteristics like nature of product, customer profile etc.

OVERVIEW REPORTS STATEMENTS
B) Qualitative Disclosure
a) The main drivers of their LCR results and the evolution of the contribution of inputs to the LCR’s calculation over
time : RBI had introduced the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) to ensure that NBFC has an adequate stock of unencumbered
high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) to survive a significant liquidity stress lasting for a period of 30 days. LCR is defined as
a ratio of HQLA to the total net cash outflows estimated for the next 30 calendar days. At March 31, 2023, the applicable
minimum LCR required to be maintained by NBFC is 70%.
The Company has an Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO), a management level committee to handle liquidity
risk. The ALCO meets at periodic intervals. At the apex level, the Risk Committee (RC), a sub-committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company, oversees the liquidity risk management. The RC subsequently updates the Board of Directors on
the same.
b) Intra-period changes as well as changes over time: The details for the four quarter ended 30 th June 2022, 30 th
