Forward-looking statement
This report and other statements – written and oral – that we periodically make, may 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 realised, although we
believe we have been prudent in our assumptions. The achievement of results is subject to risks, uncertainties and even inaccurate
assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialise or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual
results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Readers should bear this in mind. We undertake no
obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Staying focused.
Winning together.
As the pioneers of the gold loan segment and the largest gold
loan NBFC in the country, the onus has always been on us to
lead the way. We started our business to impact the lives of
people who need access to formal credit lines. As we stand
here today, this continues to be our driving force. We have
now been able to popularise gold loan among people with
formal credit lines also.

d) average percentile increase already made in the salaries of employees other than the managerial personnel in the last
financial year and its comparison with the percentile increase in the managerial remuneration and justification thereof
and point out if there are any exceptional circumstances for increase in the managerial remuneration;
The average percentile in the salaries of employees other than the managerial personnel increased by 3.91%. The total
managerial remuneration for the Financial Year 2022-23 was I 965.09 millions as against I 828.85 millions during the
previous year, an increase of 16.44%. The increase in managerial remuneration is on account of 16.50% increase in
remuneration of Managing Director and six Whole-Time Directors. This was based on the overall performance of the
Company during the year. Loan Assets under management increased by 9% reaching an all-time high of I 632,098 millions.
Though Profit after tax decreased by 12% at I 34,735 millions, this was achieved amidst extreme competition and was
higher than normal levels of profitability. Hence the Board considered increasing variable Annual Performance Incentive
of Managing Director and three Whole-Time Directors cumulatively from I 551.91 millions to I 576.08 millions due to
exceptional performance of the Company during the year amidst difficult market conditions. Commission to Non‑Executive
Directors were also increased by 7% for the above reasons. The above increase in managerial remuneration is within the
limits approved by shareholders. There is no exceptional circumstance for increase in managerial remuneration except as
stated above.
e) The remuneration paid is as per the remuneration policy of the Company.

Fair values of portfolios are calculated using a portfolio-based approach, grouping loans as far as possible into homogenous
groups based on similar characteristics i.e., type of loan. The Company then calculates and extrapolates the fair value to
the entire portfolio using effective interest rate model that incorporate interest rate estimates considering all significant
characteristics of the loans. The credit risk is applied as a top-side adjustment based on the collective impairment model
incorporating probability of defaults and loss given defaults. Hence, the carrying amount of such financial assets at amortised
cost net of impairment loss allowance is of reasonable approximation of their fair value.
Debt Securities
The fair value of debt securities is estimated by a discounted cashflow model incorporating interest rate estimates from
market observable data such as secondary prices for its traded debt itself.

LGD Rates have been computed internally based on the discounted recoveries in defaulted accounts that are closed/
written off/ repossessed and upgraded during the year.
When estimating ECLs on a collective basis for a group of similar assets, the Company applies the same principles for
assessing whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.
Company has adopted 65% as the LGD which is the rate drawn reference from Internal Rating Based (IRB) approach
guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India for Banks to calculate LGD where sufficient past information is not available.

default if the loan amount and interest exceeds the market value of gold. This risk is in part mitigated by a minimum
25% margin retained on the value of gold jewellery for the purpose of calculation of the loan amount. Further, we
appraise the gold jewellery collateral solely based on the weight of its gold content, excluding weight and value of
the stone studded in the jewellery. In addition, the sentimental value of the gold jewellery to the customers may
induce repayment and redemption of the collateral even if the value of gold ornaments falls below the value of the
repayment amount. An occasional decrease in gold prices will not increase price risk significantly on account of our
adequate collateral security margins. However, a sustained decrease in the market price of gold can additionally
cause a decrease in the size of our loan portfolio and our interest income.

External Commercial Borrowings - Senior Secured Notes USD 45,359.21 76,815.78
(principal amount and interest accrued but not due on reporting date)
Since the foreign currency exposure is completely hedged by equivalent derivative instrument, there will not be any
significant impact on sensitivity analysis due to the possible change in the exchange rates where all other variables
are held constant. On the date of maturity of the derivative instrument, considering the hedging for the entire term
of the foreign currency exposure, the sensitivity of profit and loss to changes in the exchange rates will be Nil.
d) Prepayment risk
Prepayment risk is the risk that the Company will incur a financial loss because its customers and counterparties
repay or request repayment earlier than expected, such as fixed rate loans when interest rates fall.

No.109/ 22.10.106 /2019-20 dated March 13, 2020
In accordance with the regulatory guidance on implementation of Ind AS issued by RBI on March 13, 2020, the company has
computed provisions as per Income Recognition Asset Classification and Provisioning (IRACP) norms issued by RBI solely
for comparative purposes as specified therein. A comparison between provisions required under IRACP and impairment
allowances made under Ind AS 109 is given below:
The aggregate impairment loss on application of expected credit loss method (ECL) as per lnd AS, as stated above, is more
than the provisioning required under IRACP norms (including standard asset provisioning). Further, as stated in Note 19.1 the
company has retained provision in excess of ECL in the books of account as a matter of prudence.

1) Unweighted values are calculated as outstanding balances maturing or callable within 30 days (for Cash inflows and Cash
outflows).
2) Weighted values are calculated after the application of respective haircuts (for HQLA) and stress factors (on cash inflow/
cash outflow) as per RBI guidelines.
3) ‘Average’ for all the quarters is computed as simple averages of daily observations for the quarter.
4) The figures used for the quantitative disclosure are based on the estimates and assumptions of the management, which
have been relied upon by the auditors.
The Company follows the criteria laid down by RBI for calculation of High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA), gross cash
outflows and inflows within the next 30-day period. HQLA predominantly comprises unencumbered Cash and Bank
balances, Government securities (viz., Treasury Bills, Central and State Government securities, Investments in TREPs
(Triparty Repo trades in Government Securities provided by The Clearing Corporation of India)).
All significant outflows and inflows determined in accordance with RBI guidelines are included in the prescribed LCR
computation template.
The Company monitors the concentration of funding sources from significant counterparties, significant instruments/
products as part of the LRM framework. The Company follows internal limits on short term borrowings which form part
of the LRM framework. The Company’s funding sources are fairly dispersed across sources and maturities.
The Board shall have the overall responsibility for management of liquidity risk. The Board shall decide the strategy,
policies and procedures to manage liquidity risk in accordance with the liquidity risk tolerance/limits decided by it from
time to time.
The ALM Committee of the Board of Directors shall be responsible for evaluating the liquidity risk.
The Asset-Liability Management Committee (ALCO) consisting of the NBFC’s top management shall be responsible for
ensuring adherence to the risk tolerance/limits set by the Board as well as implementing the liquidity risk management
strategy of the NBFC. The Managing Director heads the Committee. The role of the ALCO with respect to liquidity risk
include, inter alia, decision on desired maturity profile and mix of incremental assets and liabilities, sale of assets as a
source of funding, the structure, responsibilities and controls for managing liquidity risk, and overseeing the liquidity
positions of the Company.
The ALM Support Group headed by Chief Financial Officer and consisting of operating staff will be responsible for
analysing, monitoring and reporting the liquidity risk profile to the ALCO.
