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.

2 Muthoot Finance Limited


Corporate
Overview

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.

Since our inception, we have witnessed multiple economic


and industry downturns. Despite these, we have always
focused on reaching more and more people and helping them
transform their lives.

The headwinds that marked the year under review also


impacted our growth trajectory. In most conventional cases,
the first thought that would cross the mind would be to
downsize or cut down on costs exponentially.

At Muthoot, however, we are not cut from the same cloth. We


continued focusing on improving our own capabilities and
expanding our brand recall. We roped in Mrs. Madhuri Dixit
as our brand ambassador and continued to focus on well-
curated marketing campaigns to enhance our brand recall.
In addition, we focused on expanding our presence and
improving operational efficiencies through digitisation.

Our ability to stay focused on attaining our goals will be a


winning strategy, for us and our customers.

The Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has prescribed two methods to account for employee stock options; (1)
the intrinsic value method; (2) the fair value method. The company adopts the fair value method to account for the
stock options it grants to the employees. Intrinsic value is the amount, by which the quoted closing market price of the
underlying shares as on the date of grant exceeds the exercise price of the option. The fair value of the option is estimated
on the date of grant using Black Scholes options pricing model with following assumptions:-

Note :
- It is assumed that the options will be excercised within the exercise period.
- Volatility is estimated from the actual movement in share prices of the company for one year preceding the grant
date. This historical volatility is the annualised standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of daily
stock returns.
- The risk-free rate is equated to the yield on Government of India securities corresponding to the expected life of
options in each option series.
- The market value per share is equated with the market value as observed from the adjusted closing market price on
grant date of listed shares of the Company.

managerial remuneration for the Financial Year 2022-23 was I 965.09 millions as against I 828.85 millions during 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

returns of the plan are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates, the liability movement is broadly hedged by asset movement
if the duration is matched.

Description of funding arrangements and funding policy that affect future contributions
The liabilities of the fund are funded by assets. The company aims to maintain a close to full-funding position at each Balance
Sheet date. Future expected contributions are disclosed based on this principle.

Note 41: Fair Value Measurement


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.

Fair Value Hierarchy of financial instruments measured at fair value

Valuation methodologies of financial instruments measured at fair value


Fair values of financial assets, other than those which are subsequently measured at amortised cost, have been arrived at
as under:

Investments at fair value through profit or loss


For investments at fair value through profit and loss, valuation is done using quoted prices from active markets at the
measurement date. The equity instruments which are actively traded on public stock exchanges with readily available active
prices on a regular basis are classified as Level 1.

Derivative Financial Instruments (assets/liabilities) at fair value through other comprehensive income
The financial assets/liabilities on derivative contracts have been valued at fair value through other comprehensive income
using closing rate and is classified as Level 2.

Investments at fair value through other comprehensive income


Equity instruments in non-listed entities are initially recognised at transaction price and re-measured as per fair valuation
report on a case-by-case basis and classified as Level 2. The equity instruments which are actively traded on public stock
exchanges with readily available active prices on a regular basis are classified as Level 1.

Financial instruments not measured at fair value


Set out below is a comparison, by class, of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments that

Valuation methodologies of financial instruments not measured at fair value

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
equivalents, trade receivables, balances other than cash and cash equivalents and trade payables without a specific maturity.

Loans and advances to customers


The fair values of loans and receivables are estimated by discounted cash flow models that incorporate assumptions for credit
risks, probability of default and loss given default estimates. Since comparable data is not available, Credit risk is derived using
historical experience, management view and other information used in its collective impairment models.

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.

Investments- at amortised cost


For Government Securities, the market value of the respective Government stock as on the date of reporting has been considered
for fair value computations.

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.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost


The fair values of financial liabilities held-to-maturity (financial liabilities other than trade payables and debt securities) are
estimated using effective interest rate model based on contractual cash flows using actual yields. Since the cost of borrowing
on the reporting date is not expected to be significantly different from the actual yield considered under effective interest
rate model, the carrying value of such financial liabilities at amortised cost is considered a reasonable approximation of their
fair value.

Exposure at Default (EAD)


The Exposure at Default is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, considering expected changes in the
exposure after the reporting date, including repayments of principal and interest, whether scheduled by contract or
otherwise, expected drawdowns on committed facilities, and accrued interest.

Probability of Default (PD)
The Probability of Default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. For Stage 1 financial assets,
the Company assesses the possible default events within 12 months for the calculation of the 12 month ECL. For Stage
2 and Stage 3 financial assets, the exposure at default is considered for events over the lifetime of the instruments. The
Company uses historical information wherever available to determine PD. PD is calculated using Incremental 91 DPD
approach considering fresh slippage using historical information. Where historical information is not available, the PD/
default rates as stated by external reporting agencies is considered.

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

III) Market risk
Market Risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market factor. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in the interest rates,
credit, liquidity, and other market changes. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure of our
earnings and equity to loss and reduce our exposure to the volatility inherent in financial instruments. The Company is
exposed to four types of market risk as follows:

a) Interest rate risk


Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates. The Company is subject to interest rate risk, primarily since it lends to customers at
fixed rates and for maturity periods shorter than the funding sources. Majority of our borrowings are at fixed rates
. However, borrowings at floating rates gives rise to interest rate risk. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many
factors beyond control, including the monetary policies of the Reserve Bank of India, domestic and international
economic and political conditions, inflation and other factors. In order to manage interest rate risk, the Company seek
to optimize borrowing profile between short-term and long-term loans. The Company adopts funding strategies to
ensure diversified resource-raising options to minimize cost and maximize stability of funds. Assets and liabilities
are categorized into various time buckets based on their maturities and Asset Liability Management Committee
supervise an interest rate sensitivity report periodically for assessment of interest rate risks. The Interest Rate Risk
is mitigated by availing funds at very competitive rates through diversified borrowings and for different tenors.

During the year, Company has undertaken derivative transactions for hedging interest rate risk on certain domestic
currency exposures linked to external benchmark through Interest Rate Swaps as below:

As at As at
Particulars
March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022
Domestic Currency Exposure 6,000.00 -

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in the interest rates on the portion
of borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the profit before taxes affected through the impact on
floating rate borrowings are as follows:
As at As at
Impact on Profit before taxes
March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022
On Floating Rate Borrowings
1% increase in interest rates 2582.41 2,400.21
1% decrease in interest rates (2,582.41) (2,400.21)

b) Price risk
Sudden fall in the gold price and fall in the value of the pledged gold ornaments can result in some of the customers to
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.

Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value of equities decrease as the result of changes in level of equity indices
and individual stocks. The trading equity price risk exposure arises from equity securities classified at FVTPL and
the non-trading equity price risk exposure arises from equity securities classified at FVOCI.

A 10% increase/(decrease) in the equity price ( traded and non-traded) would have the impact as follows:
Increase/(Decrease) Sensitivity of Sensitivity of Other
Particulars
in percentage profit or loss Comprehensive Income
As at March 31, 2023 10/(10) 0.00/(0.00) 187.57/(187.57)
As at March 31, 2022 10/(10) 0.00/(0.00) 196.05/(196.05)

c) Foreign currency risk


Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange
rates. Foreign currency risk for the Company arises majorly on account of foreign currency borrowings. The
Company’s foreign currency exposures are managed in accordance with its Foreign Exchange Risk Management
Policy which has been approved by its Board of Directors. The Company has hedged its foreign currency risk on its
foreign currency borrowings as on March 31, 2023 by entering into forward contracts with the intention of covering
the entire term of foreign currency exposure . The counterparties for such hedge transactions are banks.

The Company’s exposure on account of Foreign Currency Borrowings at the end of the reporting period expressed in
Indian Rupees are as follows:
Foreign As at As at
Particulars
currency March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022
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.

IV) Operational and business risk


Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from systems failure, human error, fraud or external events. When controls fail
to operate effectively, operational risks can cause damage to reputation, have legal or regulatory implications, or lead
to financial loss. The Company cannot expect to eliminate all operational risks, but it endeavours to manage these risks
through a control framework and by monitoring and responding to potential risks. Controls include effective segregation
of duties, access, authorisation and reconciliation procedures, staff education and assessment processes including the use
of internal audit.

B) Qualitative Disclosure
The Company has adopted Liquidity Risk Management (LRM) framework on liquidity standards as prescribed by the RBI
guidelines and has put in place requisite systems and processes to enable periodical computation and reporting of the
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR). The mandated regulatory threshold is embedded into the Liquidity Risk Management
framework of the Company thus subjecting LCR maintenance to Board oversight and periodical review. The Company
computes the LCR and reports the same to the Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) as well as to the ALM
Committee of the Board.

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.

8.2 Belstar Microfinance Limited
During the year, Belstar Microfinance Limited (BML) has sold financial assets being stressed loan receivables (>180
days past due) having a gross carrying amount of ₹2,500.96 million to an Asset Reconstruction Company (“ARC”) for a
consideration of ₹830.00 million. The net carrying amount of these loan receivables as on the effective date of transfer
was ₹636.94 million (net of impairment allowance of ₹1,864.02 million). In accordance with Ind AS 109, BML has written
off ₹1670.96 million (i.e ₹2,500.96 million less ₹830.00 million) against the corresponding impairment allowance, being
the portion of gross carrying amount in respect of which any reasonable expectation of recovery stands extinguished
with the above mentioned sale transaction. Further, the residual excess provision carried under impairment allowance
Rs 193.06 million has been written back during the year with corresponding impact in Note No. 31.

As per the agreed terms, BML has subscribed to the Security Receipts (“SRs”) issued by the ARC trust amounting to
₹721.70 million, which is classified under Fair Value through Profit or Loss Account. Since the transaction had
consummated on 28th March, 2023, obtaining recovery ratings and declaration of the Net Asset Value (NAV) by the ARC
Trust would commence from the half year ended September 30, 2023 only. As at March 31, 2023, BML has also applied
the principles prescribed under the Master Direction – Reserve Bank of India (Transfer of Loan Exposures) Directions,
2021 dated September 24, 2021 in determining the fair value of the SR’s and accordingly, a loss on fair value changes
considering the notional provisioning rate applicable if these loans had continued in the books of BML amounting to
₹193.06 million has been recognised against the face value of these SRs, as disclosed under Note No. 27.

The gross and net carrying amounts stated above does not include unrealised interest on these NPA loans recognised by
BML amounting to ₹162.36 million. Upon completion of the sale transaction, the same has also been de-recognised with
corresponding impact in Note No. 26.

Description of Asset Liability Matching (ALM) Policy


The Group primarily deploys its gratuity investment assets in insurer-offered debt market-linked plans. As investment returns
of the plan are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates, liability movement is broadly hedged by asset movement if the
duration is matched.

Description of funding arrangements and funding policy that affect future contributions

Sheet date. Future expected contributions are disclosed based on this principle.

The principal assumptions used in determining leave encashment obligations for the Group’s plans are
shown below:
The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Government of India securities as at the balance sheet date for
the estimated term of the obligations. The estimate of future salary increases considered, takes into account the inflation,
seniority, promotion, increments, mortality, withdrawals and other relevant factors.

Note 43: Fair Value Measurement


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.

Valuation methodologies of financial instruments measured at fair value
Fair values of financial assets, other than those which are subsequently measured at amortised cost, have been arrived at
as under :

Investment at fair value through profit and loss


For investment at fair value through profit and loss, valuation is done using quoted prices from active markets at the
measurement date. The equity instruments which are actively traded on public stock exchanges with readily available
active prices on a regular basis are classified as Level 1. Units held in mutual funds are measured based on their published
net asset value (NAV), taking into account redemption and/or other restrictions are generally Level 1.

The fair valuation technique for investments in Security receipts (SRs) by Belstar Microfinance Limited is classified under
Level 3. Since the investment was made in the month of March 2023 and the investment value approximates the net asset
value as at March 31, 2023 as confirmed by the Asset Reconstruction Company (ARC), disclosure of sensitivity of fair
value measurement in unobservable inputs is not considered relevant.

Derivative Financial Instruments (assets/liabilities) at fair value through other comprehensive income
The financial assets/liabilities on derivative contracts has been valued at fair value through other comprehensive income
using closing rate and is classified as Level 2.

Investments at fair value through other comprehensive income


Equity instruments in non-listed entities are initially recognised at transaction price and re-measured as per fair
valuation report on a case-by-case and classified as Level 2 . The equity instruments which are actively traded on public
stock exchanges with readily available active prices on a regular basis are classified as Level 1.

C. Market Risk
Market Risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market factor. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in the interest
rates, credit, liquidity, and other market changes. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure
of our earnings and equity to loss and reduce our exposure to the volatility inherent in financial instruments. The Group
is exposed to four types of market risk as follows:

(a) Interest Rate Risk


Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates. The Group is subject to interest rate risk, primarily since it lends to customers at fixed
rates and for maturity periods shorter than the funding sources. Majority of our borrowings are at fixed rates . However,
borrowings at floating rates gives rise to interest rate risk. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond
control, including the monetary policies of the Reserve Bank of India, domestic and international economic and political
conditions, inflation and other factors. In order to manage interest rate risk, the Group seek to optimize borrowing profile
between short-term and long-term loans. The Group adopts funding strategies to ensure diversified resource-raising
options to minimize cost and maximize stability of funds. Assets and liabilities are categorized into various time buckets
based on their maturities and Asset Liability Management Committee supervises an interest rate sensitivity report
periodically for assessment of interest rate risks. The Interest Rate Risk is mitigated by availing funds at very competitive
rates through diversified borrowings and for different tenors.

During the year , Group has undertaken derivative transactions for hedging interest rate risk on certain domestic currency
exposures linked to external benchmark through Interest Rate Swaps as below:

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in the interest rates on the portion
of borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the profit before taxes affected through the impact on
floating rate borrowings are as follows:

(b) Price Risk

For Gold loan


Sudden fall in the gold price and fall in the value of the pledged gold ornaments can result in some of the customers to
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 jewellery for the purpose of calculation of the loan amount. Further, we appraise the
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.

Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value of equities decrease as the result of changes in level of equity indices and
individual stocks. The trading equity price risk exposure arises from equity securities classified at FVTPL and the non-
trading equity price risk exposure arises from equity securities classified at FVOCI.

A 10% increase/(decrease) in the equity price ( traded and non-traded) would have the impact as follows:

Increase / (Decrease) Sensitivity of profit Sensitivity of other

For Housing loan and receivables under financing activity


The Group’s exposure to price risk is not material and it is primarily on account of investment of temporary treasury
surplus in the highly liquid debt funds for very short durations. The Group has a board approved policy of investing its
surplus funds in highly rated debt mutual funds and other instruments having insignificant price risk, not being equity
funds/ risk bearing instruments.

(c) Prepayment risk
Prepayment risk is the risk that the Group will incur a financial loss because its customers and counterparties repay or
request repayment earlier than expected, such as fixed rate loans like ours when interest rates fall.

(d) Foreign currency risk


Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
Foreign currency risk for the Company arises majorly on account of foreign currency borrowings. The Company’s foreign
currency exposures are managed in accordance with its Foreign Exchange Risk Management Policy which has been
approved by its Board of Directors. The Company has hedged its foreign currency risk on its foreign currency borrowings
as on March 31, 2023 by entering into cross currency swaps and forward contracts with the intention of covering the
entire term of foreign currency exposure . The counterparties for such hedge transactions are banks.

The Company’s exposure on account of Foreign Currency Borrowings at the end of the reporting period expressed in
Indian Rupees are as follows:

Foreign As at As at
Particulars
currency March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022
External Commercial Borrowings - Senior Secured Notes (principal amount USD 45,359.21 76,815.78
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. Operational and business risk


Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from systems failure, human error, fraud or external events. When controls
fail to operate effectively, operational risks can cause damage to reputation, have legal or regulatory implications, or
lead to financial loss. The Group cannot expect to eliminate all operational risks, but it endeavours to manage these risks
through a control framework and by monitoring and responding to potential risks. Controls include effective segregation
of duties, access, authorisation and reconciliation procedures, staff education and assessment processes, including the
use of internal audit.
