CERTAIN CONVENTIONS, USE OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND MARKET DATA AND
CURRENCY OF PRESENTATION
Certain Conventions
All references in this Prospectus to “India” are to the Republic of India, all references to the “U.S.”, the “USA”
or the “United States” are to the United States of America, together with its territories and possessions.
Financial Data
Unless indicated or the context requires otherwise, the financial information in this Prospectus is derived from
the Restated Standalone Financial Statements and the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements, prepared in
accordance with the Companies Act, Indian GAAP and restated in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations
and included elsewhere in this Prospectus. For further details, see “Summary Financial Information”,
“Financial Statements”, and “Summary of Certain Differences between Indian GAAP and Ind AS” on pages
63, 218 and 393, respectively.
Our Company’s financial year commences on April 1 of the immediately preceding calendar year and ends on
March 31 of that particular calendar year, so all references to a particular financial year or fiscal are to the 12
months period commencing on April 1 of the immediately preceding calendar year and ending on March 31 of
that particular calendar year.
Unless indicated otherwise, all references to a year in this Prospectus are to a calendar year.
On February 16, 2015, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Rules, 2015 (the “Ind AS Rules”) for the purpose of enacting changes to Indian GAAP that are intended to
align Indian GAAP further with IFRS. The Ind AS Rules provide that the financial statements of the companies
to which they apply shall be prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standard (“Ind AS”), although
any company may voluntarily implement Ind AS for the accounting period beginning from April 1, 2015.
NBFCs having a net worth of more than ₹ 5,000.00 million are required to mandatorily adopt Ind AS for the
accounting period beginning from April 1, 2018 with comparatives for the period ending on March 31, 2018. As
a result, up on the listing of our Equity Shares, we will be required to disclose our financial results in accordance
with IND AS to comply with the SEBI Listing Regulations.
With effect from April 1, 2018, we are required to prepare our financial statements under Ind AS prescribed
under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Ind AS Rules. Given that Ind AS is different in
many respects from Indian GAAP, our financial statements for the period commencing from April 1, 2018 may
not be comparable to our Indian GAAP financial statements.
We will prepare and issue our first complete Ind AS financial statements as at and for the year ending March 31,
2019. Until the first complete Ind AS financial statements are issued, the Special Purpose Interim Standalone
Financial Statements are preliminary and can change if (a) there are any new Ind AS standards issued through
March 31, 2019, (b) there are any amendments or modifications made to existing Ind AS standards or
interpretations thereof through March 31, 2019 effecting the Ind AS balances in these financial statements and
(c) if we make any changes in the elections or exemptions selected on adoption of Ind AS at its transition date of
April 1, 2017. Only a complete set of financial statements together with comparative financial information can
provide a fair presentation of a company’s state of affairs (financial position), profit (financial performance
including other comprehensive income), cash flows and the changes in equity.
While preparing the Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements for the three months ended June
30, 2018, the relevant comparative financial information under Ind AS for the three months ended June 30, 2017
has not been presented. Similarly, while preparing the Special Purpose Standalone Financial Statements for the
year ended March 31, 2018, the relevant comparative financial information under Ind AS for the year ended
March 31, 2017 has not been presented. The Special Purpose Financial Statements have been prepared in
accordance with the recognition and measurement principles as prescribed under section 133 of the Companies
Act, 2013 read with the Ind AS Rules. All the disclosures as required under Ind AS have not been furnished in
these Special Purpose Financial Statements.
In addition, we have presented our Special Purpose Financial Statements on a standalone basis and have not
prepared and included special purpose consolidated financial statements prepared using recognition and
12
measurement principles of IND AS. Our Company has only one subsidiary, Aavas Finserv Limited, with effect
from November 30, 2017. For further details, see “Risk Factors – External Risk Factors - We have included
our Special Purpose Financial Statements in this Prospectus, which are subject to change and investors
should read the related disclosure in this context” on page 36.
There are significant differences between Indian GAAP, Ind AS, International Financial Reporting Standards
(“IFRS”) and the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Accordingly, the degree to which the financial statements included in this Prospectus will provide meaningful
information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Indian accounting practices. Any
reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices, the Indian GAAP, Ind AS, the Companies Act
and the SEBI ICDR Regulations on the financial disclosures presented in this Prospectus should accordingly be
limited.
Unless stated otherwise, industry and market data used throughout this Prospectus has been derived from
publicly available sources, government publications such as the NHB Report, and certain industry sources such
as the ICRA Report. Industry publications generally state that the information contained in such publications has
been obtained from sources generally believed to be reliable, but their accuracy, adequacy or completeness and
underlying assumptions are not guaranteed and their reliability cannot be assured. Accordingly, no investment

used in this Prospectus is reliable, it has not been independently verified by us, the Selling Shareholders, the
GCBRLMs, the BRLM, or any of our or their respective affiliates or advisors, and none of these parties makes
any representation as to the accuracy of this information. The data used in these sources may have been
reclassified by us for the purposes of presentation. Data from these sources may also not be comparable. The
extent to which the industry and market data presented in this Prospectus is meaningful depends upon the
reader’s familiarity with and understanding of the methodologies used in compiling such data. There are no
standard data gathering methodologies in the industry in which we conduct our business and methodologies and
assumptions may vary widely among different market and industry sources. Industry information included in
this Prospectus has been derived from an industry report commissioned by us for such purpose. There can be no
assurance that such third-party statistical, financial and other industry information is either complete or accurate.
Accordingly, investment decision should not be based solely on such information.
Such data involves risks, uncertainties and numerous assumptions and is subject to change based on various
factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” on page 17.
Additionally, we have commissioned a report titled “ICRA Affordable Housing Finance Industry Report” dated
June 7, 2018, prepared by ICRA Limited (“Report”), for the purpose of confirming our understanding of the
industry in connection with the Offer. In this regard, ICRA Limited, has issued the following disclaimer:

All references to “US$”, “U.S. Dollar”, “USD” or “U.S. Dollars” are to United States Dollars, the official
currency of the United States.
In this Prospectus, our Company has presented certain numerical information. All figures have been expressed
in millions. One million represents ‘10 lakhs’ or 1,000,000. Further, one billion represents ‘1,000 million’ or
‘1,000,000,000’. However, where any figures that may have been sourced from third-party industry sources are
expressed in denominations other than millions in their respective sources, such figures appear in this
Prospectus expressed in such denominations as provided in such respective sources.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Prospectus contains certain “forward-looking statements”. These forward looking statements include
statements which can generally be identified by words or phrases such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “believe”,
“expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “likely to”, “objective”, “plan”, “project”, “propose”, “will continue”, “seek

identifying forward-looking statements. All statements regarding our expected financial condition and results of
operations and business strategies, plans and prospects are forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based on our current plans, estimates and expectations and actual results
may differ materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements
are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. This may be due to risks or uncertainties
associated with our expectations with respect to, but not limited to, regulatory changes pertaining to the
industries in India in which we have our business and our ability to respond to them, our ability to successfully
implement our strategy, our growth and expansion, technological changes, our exposure to market risks, general
economic and political conditions in India, which have an impact on our business activities or investments, the
monetary and fiscal policies of India, inflation, deflation, unanticipated turbulence in interest rates, foreign
exchange rates, equity prices or other rates or prices, the performance of the financial markets in India and
globally, changes in domestic laws, regulations and taxes, changes in competition in our industry and incidence
of any natural calamities and/or acts of violence. Important factors that would cause actual results to differ
materially include, including, but not limited to:
1. Our business requires substantial capital and any disruption in our sources of capital could have an
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
2. The risk of non-payment or default by borrowers may adversely affect our business, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows.
3. We are affected by changes in interest rates for our lending and treasury operations, which could cause
our net interest income to decline and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
4. Any downgrade in our credit ratings could increase our borrowing costs and affect our ability to obtain
financing, adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
5. We may face asset-liability mismatches, which could affect our liquidity and adversely affect our
business and results of operations.
6. Our operations are concentrated in four states of western India, particularly Rajasthan and any adverse
developments in this region could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.
7. Our inability to recover the full value of collateral, or amounts outstanding under defaulted loans in a
timely manner, or at all, could adversely affect our results of operations.
8. The Indian housing finance industry is highly competitive and our inability to compete effectively
could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
9. Our inability to effectively manage our growth could have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flow.
10. We are exposed to operational and credit risks which may result in NPAs, and we may be unable to
control or reduce the level of NPAs in our portfolio.
For a further discussion of factors that could cause our actual results to differ, see “Risk Factors”, “Our
Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”
on pages 17, 147 and 398, respectively. By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are only estimates and
could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual future gains or losses
could be materially be different from those that have been estimated. Forward-looking statements reflect our
current views as of the date of this Prospectus and are not a guarantee of future performance. These statements
are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available
15
information. Although we believe that the assumptions on which such statements are based are reasonable, any
such assumptions as well as the statement based on them could prove to be inaccurate.
Neither our Company, nor the Selling Shareholders, nor the Syndicate, nor any of their respective affiliates have
any obligation to update or otherwise revise any statements reflecting circumstances arising after the date hereof
or to reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition. In
accordance with SEBI requirements, our Company the GCBRLMs and the BRLM will ensure that investors in
India are informed of material developments until the receipt of final listing and trading approvals for the Equity
Shares pursuant to the Offer.

1. Our business requires substantial capital and any disruption in our sources of capital could have an
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our business and results of operations depend on our ability to raise funds from various external sources on
suitable terms and in a timely manner. We have historically secured financing from a variety of sources
including term loans and working capital facilities; proceeds from loans assigned and securitized; proceeds
from the issuance of non-convertible debentures (“NCDs”); refinancing from the NHB; and subordinated
debt borrowings from banks, mutual funds, insurance companies and other domestic, foreign and multi-
lateral financial institutions to meet our capital requirements. Our business thus depends and will continue
to depend on our ability to access a variety of sources of capital.
Our ability to raise funds on acceptable terms, at competitive rates and in a timely manner, depends on
various factors including our current and future results of operations and financial condition, our risk
management policies, our credit ratings, our brand equity, the regulatory environment and policy initiatives
in India and developments in the international markets affecting the Indian economy. We cannot assure
you that our business will continue to generate sufficient cash to enable us to service our existing debt or to
fund our other liquidity needs. Further, changes in economic, regulatory and financial conditions or any
lack of liquidity in the market could adversely affect our ability to access funds at competitive rates, which
17
could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition. Our ability to raise debt to meet our funding
requirements is also restricted by the limits prescribed under applicable regulations. For example, the
Housing Finance Companies (National Housing Bank) Directions, 2010 (the “NHB Directions”) currently
permits HFCs to borrow up to 16 times their net owned funds (“NOF”). As of June 30, 2018, we had Total
Borrowings of ₹ 27,217.61 million, which was 2.32 times our NOF of ₹ 11,745.76 million. As of March
31, 2018, March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, our Total Borrowings/Net Owned Funds were 2.37, 3.18
and 7.10, respectively. Since our Company’s incorporation, the highest value of our Total Borrowings/Net
Owned Funds was 7.10 as of March 31, 2016. Consequently, if we are unable to obtain adequate financing
in a timely manner and on commercially reasonable terms, our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows may be adversely affected.
2. The risk of non-payment or default by borrowers may adversely affect our business, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We are primarily focused on serving low and middle income customers in semi-urban and rural areas that
have limited access to formal banking credit. Our customers may default in their repayment obligations
due to various reasons including insolvency, lack of liquidity, increase in operating costs, business failure
or poor agricultural production. In addition, our customers often do not have credit histories supported by
tax returns and other documents that would enable us to assess their creditworthiness, and we may not
receive updated information regarding any change in the financial condition of our customers or may
receive inaccurate or incomplete information as a result of any misrepresentation by our customers or
employees. It may therefore be difficult for us to carry out precise credit risk analyses on all of our
customers. As of June 30, 2018, 36.27% of our Gross Loan Assets were from customers who were new to
credit. Although we follow certain procedures to evaluate the credit profiles of our customers at the time of
sanctioning a loan, we typically also rely on a system of customer referrals and the value of the property
provided as underlying collateral rather than focusing solely on the credit profile of our customers.
Further, as of June 30, 2018, 64.21% of our Gross Loan Assets were from self-employed customers. Self-
employed customers are often considered to be higher credit risk customers due to their increased exposure
to fluctuations in cash flows and to adverse economic conditions. To the extent we are not able to
successfully manage the risks associated with lending to such self-employed customers, it may become
difficult for us to make recoveries on these loans. We cannot assure you that our risk management controls
will be sufficient to prevent future losses on account of customer defaults, which may adversely affect our
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
3. We are affected by changes in interest rates for our lending and treasury operations, which could cause
our net interest income to decline and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our results of operations depend substantially on the level of our net interest income, which is the
difference between our interest income (mainly comprising interest income on loan portfolio, securitized
portfolio, interest income on fixed deposit, intercorporate deposit and commercial paper, profit on
redemption of liquid mutual fund units and dividend income from mutual funds) and our finance cost. Any
change in interest rates would affect our interest expense on our floating interest-bearing liabilities as well
as our net interest income and net interest margins. Any increase in our cost of funds may lead to a
reduction in our net interest margin, or require us to increase interest rates on loans disbursed to customers
in the future to maintain our net interest margin. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscals
2018, 2017 and 2016, our finance cost was ₹ 559.04 million, ₹ 1,890.53 million, ₹ 1,428.20 million and ₹
968.81 million, respectively. For the same periods, our net interest margin was 2.03%, 7.25%, 6.61% and
6.10%, respectively. See “Selected Statistical Information” on page 204.
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond our control, including the monetary policies of
the RBI, deregulation of the financial sector in India, domestic and international economic and political
conditions and other factors, which have historically resulted in changes in interest rates in India.
Persistently high inflation in India may discourage the Government from implementing policies that would
cause interest rates to decrease. Moreover, if there is an increase in the interest rates we pay on our
borrowings that we are unable to pass to our customers, we may find it difficult to compete with our
competitors, who may have access to low-cost funds. Further, to the extent our borrowings are linked to
market interest rates, we may have to pay interest at a higher rate than lenders that borrow only at fixed
interest rates. An increase in general interest rates in the economy could also reduce the overall demand for
housing finance and impact our growth. Certain of our customers may prepay their loans to take advantage
of a declining interest rate environment. Similarly, an increase in interest rates could result in our
18
customers, particularly those with variable interest rate loans, prepaying their loans if less expensive loans
are available from other sources. Further, we are prohibited from charging pre-payment penalties on loans
with variable interest rates. Our inability to retain customers as a result of changing interest rates may
adversely impact our earnings in future periods and as a consequence have an adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
Fluctuations in interest rates may also adversely affect our treasury operations. In a rising interest rate
environment, especially if the rise is sudden or sharp, we could be adversely affected by the decline in the
market value of our securities portfolio and other fixed income securities.
Further, we provide our customers the option to borrow money on fixed interest rate basis, and typically
such interest rates can be revised after three years, even if interest rates in the market increase during
interim periods. As of June 30, 2018, 47.05% of our Gross Loan Assets were at fixed rates of interest with
a weighted average yield of 15.73%. Our inability to effectively and efficiently manage interest rate
variations and our failure to pass on increased interest rates on our borrowings may cause our net interest
income to decline, which would decrease our return on assets and could adversely affect our business and
result of operations.
4. Any downgrade in our credit ratings could increase our borrowing costs, affect our ability to obtain
financing, and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The cost and availability of capital depends in part on our short-term and long-term credit ratings. Credit
ratings reflect the opinions of ratings agencies on our financial strength, operating performance, strategic
position and ability to meet our obligations. For further details, see “Our Business – Credit Ratings” on
page 159. Any downgrade in our credit ratings could increase borrowing costs and adversely affect our
access to capital and debt markets, which could in turn adversely affect our interest margins, our business,
results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, any downgrade in our credit ratings
could increase the probability that our lenders impose additional terms and conditions to any financing or
refinancing arrangements we enter into in the future and adversely affect our business, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows.
5. We may face asset-liability mismatches, which could affect our liquidity and adversely affect our
business and results of operations.
We face potential liquidity risks because our assets and liabilities mature over different periods. Assets and
liability mismatch, which represents a situation when the financial terms of an institution’s assets and
liabilities do not match, is a key financial parameter for us. Although we had a positive asset-liability
maturity profile as of March 31, 2018, we have had a negative asset liability maturity profile as of March
31, 2014, March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016. Consequently, we cannot assure you that we will be able to
continue to maintain such profile in the future. We meet a significant portion of our financing requirements
through long-term borrowings from sources such as term loans from banks and financial institutions and
issuance of NCDs. Further, a significant portion of our assets, such as home loans to our customers, have
maturities with longer terms than our borrowings. Mismatches between our assets and liabilities are
compounded in case of pre-payments of the loans by our customers. Any mismatch in the maturity profile
of our assets and liabilities may lead to a liquidity risk and have an adverse effect on our business and
results of operations.
6. Our operations are concentrated in four states of western India, particularly Rajasthan and any adverse
developments in this region could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.
As of June 30, 2018, we conducted our operations through 166 branches covering 95 districts in eight
states, of which 157 branches were located in western India in the states of Rajasthan, Maharashtra,
Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. As of the same date, 92.50% of our Gross Loan Assets was located in these
four states, with Rajasthan accounting for 46.63% of our Gross Loan Assets. The real estate and housing
finance markets in these states may perform differently from, and may be subject to market conditions that
are different from, the housing finance markets in other regions of India. Consequently, any significant
social, political or economic disruption, or natural calamities or civil disruptions in this region, or changes
in the policies of the state or local governments of this region or the Government of India, could disrupt
our business operations, require us to incur significant expenditure and change our business strategies. The
occurrence of or our inability to effectively respond to any such event, could have an adverse effect on our
19
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
7. Our inability to recover the full value of collateral, or amounts outstanding under defaulted loans in a
timely manner, or at all, could adversely affect our results of operations.
We offer home loans and other mortgage loans to customers, where the primary collateral is real estate.
The value of the collateral, however, may decline during the term of the loan for a variety of reasons,
including due to adverse market conditions prevalent in the real estate sector or an economic downturn
leading to a downward movement in real estate prices. As a result, if our customers default, we may receive
less money from liquidating collateral than is owed under the relevant financing facility, and, in turn, incur
losses, even where we successfully repossess and liquidate the collateral.
Following the introduction of the SARFAESI Act in 2002 and the extension of its application to HFCs, we
may now foreclose on collateral after 60 days notice to a borrower whose loan has been classified as
nonperforming. However, in a case before the Supreme Court of India in 2004, while the constitutional
validity of the SARFAESI Act was affirmed, the right of a defaulting borrower to appeal to the Debt
Recovery Tribunal (“DRT”) was also affirmed. The DRT has the power to issue a stay order prohibiting
the lender from selling the assets of a defaulted borrower. As a result, there can be no assurance that any
foreclosure proceedings would not be stayed by the DRT. In addition, we may be unable to realize the full
value of our collateral, as a result of factors including delays in foreclosure proceedings. A failure to
recover the expected value of collateral security could expose us to a potential loss.
We may also encounter difficulties in repossessing and liquidating collateral. When a customer defaults
under a financing facility, we typically re-possess and then sell the collateral through an auction. However,
we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully repossess the collateral in the event of default
under a loan agreement. We may also face challenges in title verification of the collateral provided by the
customer, as there is no central land registry in India and title to the property can be disputed, including on
account of local land records not being duly updated, or not being maintained in a legible manner, or only
being available in the local vernacular languages, as well as on account of actual or alleged short payment
of stamp duty or registration fees (which may render the title documents inadmissible in evidence, unless
stamped prior to enforcement with payment of requisite penalties). Moreover, we may also not be able to
sell the collateral at a price sufficient to cover the amount owed under the financing facility, or at all. We
may face additional delay and expense in conducting an auction to sell the collateral and may face
significant delay in repossessing collateral, as litigation against defaulting customers, even if governed by
an arbitration clause, can be slow and expensive in India. In the event of any inability or delay in the
repossession and liquidation of the collateral securing loans in default, we may incur losses, which could
adversely affect our results of operations.
8. The Indian housing finance industry is highly competitive and our inability to compete effectively could
adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We provide home loans and other mortgage loans to customers residing in the rural and semi-urban
markets of India. The housing finance industry is highly competitive. Our primary competitors are banks,
other HFCs, small finance banks and NBFCs who have entered these markets as well as private
unorganized lenders who typically operate in rural and semi-urban markets. For example, as of March 31,
2018, the number of HFCs registered with the NHB is 92. Our competitors may have more resources, a
wider branch and distribution network, access to cheaper funding, superior technology and may have a
better understanding of and relationships with customers in these markets. This may make it easier for
competitors to expand and to achieve economies of scale to a greater extent. In addition, our competitors
may be able to rely on the reach of the retail presence of their affiliated group companies or banks.
Competition in this market segment has also increased as a result of interest rate deregulation and other
liberalization measures affecting the housing finance industry in India and we expect competition to
intensify in the future.
Our ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to maintain or increase our margins.
Our margins are affected in part by our ability to continue to secure low-cost capital, and charge optimum
interest rates at which we lend to our customers. Consequently, our ability to maintain or increase our
margins will be dependent on our ability to pass on increases in the interest rates on our interest-bearing
liabilities to our customers. Moreover, any increases in the interest rates on the loans we extend may also
20
result in a decrease in business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to react effectively to these or
other market developments or compete effectively with new and existing players in the increasingly
competitive housing finance industry. If we are unable to compete effectively, our business and results of
operations may be adversely affected.
9. Our inability to effectively manage our growth could have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We commenced our operations in March 2012 and as such we have a limited operating history in the
housing finance industry. However, we have experienced considerable growth over the past five years and
we have significantly expanded our operations and branch network. Our total revenue grew from ₹ 543.22
million for Fiscal 2014 to ₹ 4,572.45 million for Fiscal 2018, while our profit after tax grew from ₹ 63.37
million for Fiscal 2014 to ₹ 929.33 million for Fiscal 2018. Our Gross Loan Assets grew from ₹ 4,062.24
million as of March 31, 2014 to ₹ 43,590.87 million as of June 30, 2018 and the number of our branches
has grown from 35 to 166 during the same period. However, we cannot assure you that our growth strategy
will continue to be successful or that we will be able to continue to grow further, or at the same rate.
Our inability to manage our expansion effectively and execute our growth strategy in a timely manner, or
within budget estimates or our inability to meet the expectations of our shareholders and other stakeholders
could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We intend to
continue expansion to pursue existing and potential market opportunities. Our ability to execute our growth
strategies will depend, among other things, on our ability to identify key target markets correctly, diversify
and differentiate our product offering and manage our pricing to compete effectively, and scale up and
grow our network efficiently. Our ability to expand our product offering will also be limited by restrictions
imposed by our risk management framework and applicable laws. We will also need to manage
relationships with a greater number of customers, third-party consultants and service providers, lenders and
other parties as we expand.
In order to manage our growth effectively, we must implement, upgrade and improve our operational
systems, processes, procedures and controls on a timely basis. If we fail to implement these systems,
processes, procedures and controls on a timely basis, we may not be able to meet our customers’ needs,
hire and retain new employees or operate our business effectively. Our ability to sustain our rate of growth
also depends significantly upon our ability to select and retain key managerial personnel, maintaining
effective risk management policies and training managerial personnel to address emerging challenges.
Further, a number of external factors beyond our control could also affect our ability to continue to grow
our business and loan portfolio, such as demand for housing loans in India, domestic economic growth, the
RBI’s monetary and regulatory policies, NHB regulations, inflation, competition and availability of cost-
effective debt and equity capital.
We cannot assure you that our existing or future management, operational and financial systems,
processes, procedures and controls will be adequate to support future operations, or establish or develop
business relationships beneficial to future operations. Failure to manage growth effectively could have an
adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
10. We are exposed to operational and credit risks which may result in NPAs, and we may be unable to
control or reduce the level of NPAs in our portfolio.
Our ability to manage the credit quality of our loans, which we measure in part through NPAs, is a key
driver of our results of operations. Our total loan portfolio has grown rapidly in the last few years, and we
anticipate that the size of our loan portfolio will continue to grow in the future as we pursue our expansion
strategy. Our customer base primarily comprises low and middle income self employed customers in semi-
urban and rural areas in India, a majority of who have limited access to formal banking credit. Our
customers may face cash flow constraints due to losses incurred by them in their respective businesses or
in the economic activities pursued by them. Any such cash flow constraints may affect the ability of our
customers to pay interest or repay their loans.
We classify non-performing assets (“NPAs”) in accordance with the NHB Directions. Defaults by our
customers for a period of more than 90 days result in such loans being classified as “non-performing”. As
of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, our Gross NPA were ₹ 172.39 million, ₹ 106.91
million, ₹ 169.21 million and ₹ 80.42 million respectively, while our Gross NPA to Gross Advances was
0.50%, 0.34%, 0.79% and 0.55%, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016,
21
our Net NPA were ₹ 133.14 million, ₹ 82.51 million, ₹ 128.64 million and ₹ 61.71 million, respectively,
while our Net NPA to Net Advances was 0.38%, 0.26%, 0.60% and 0.42%, respectively. For further
details, see “Selected Statistical Information” on page 204. In addition, on account of our recent growth, a
significant portion of our loan portfolio is relatively new and was disbursed during the last 36 months. We
believe that the risk of delinquency in home loans typically emerges 36 to 48 months from disbursement.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain or reduce our current levels of NPAs in the future.
As the number of our loans that become NPAs increase, the credit quality of our loan portfolio decreases.
Further, as our loan portfolio grows, an increasing proportion of our loans could be classified as non-
performing and the current level of our provisions may not adequately cover any such increases. Further,
negative trends or financial difficulties or general economic slowdown could unexpectedly increase
delinquency rates and we could also reach a point in the future where we may not be able to expand our
portfolio without allowing the overall credit quality of our loans to deteriorate. We cannot assure you that
there will not be a significant increase in the proportion of our loans that are classified as NPAs as our loan
portfolio matures.
If we are unable to sufficiently implement credit appraisals, portfolio monitoring and recovery processes, it
may lead to a deterioration in the credit quality of our loan portfolio and an increase in the proportion of
NPAs in our loan portfolio, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations and our financial
condition.
11. Any failure or significant weakness of our internal processes or systems could cause operational errors
or incidents of fraud, which would adversely affect our profitability and reputation.
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal measures commensurate with the
size and complexity of operations. Our internal or concurrent audit functions make an evaluation of the
adequacy and effectiveness of internal systems on an ongoing basis so that business units adhere to our
policies, compliance requirements and internal guidelines. While we periodically test and update our
internal processes and systems, we are exposed to operational risks arising from the potential inadequacy
or failure of internal processes or systems, and our actions may not be sufficient to ensure effective internal
checks and balances in all circumstances.
Our management information systems and internal procedures that are designed to monitor our operations
and overall compliance may not identify every instance of non-compliance or every suspicious transaction.
If internal system or process weaknesses are identified, our actions may not be sufficient to correct such
weakness. Failures or material errors in our internal systems may lead to deal errors, pricing errors,
inaccurate financial reporting, fraud and failure of critical systems and infrastructure. Such instances may
also adversely affect our reputation, business and results of operations. We cannot assure you that that we
would be able to prevent frauds in the future or that our existing internal mechanisms to detect or prevent
fraud will be sufficient. Any fraud discovered in the future may have an adverse effect on our profitability
and reputation.
12. Our inability to expand our business into new regions and markets in India could adversely affect our
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
As part of our growth strategy, we continue to evaluate opportunities to expand our business into new
markets in India. We have grown our operations to relatively newer markets such as Delhi, Haryana, Uttar
Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Factors such as competition, customer requirements, regulatory regimes,
business practices and customs in these new markets may differ from those in our existing markets, and
our experience in our existing markets may not be applicable to these new markets. In addition, as we enter
new markets and geographical regions, we are likely to compete with not only other banks and financial
institutions but also the local unorganized or semi-organized private financiers, who may be more familiar
with local regulations, business practices and customs, and may have stronger relationships with target
customers.
As we plan to expand our geographic footprint, even though contiguously, our business may be exposed to
additional challenges, including identifying and collaborating with local business partners with whom we
may have no previous business relations, obtaining necessary governmental approvals, successfully
marketing our brand and products in markets in which we have no familiarity; attracting customers in a
market in which we do not have significant experience or visibility; being subject to additional local taxes;
attracting and retaining new employees; expanding our technological infrastructure; maintaining
standardized systems and procedures; and adapting our marketing strategy and operations to new markets
22
in India in which different languages are spoken. To address these challenges, we may have to make
significant investments that may not yield desired results or incur costs that we may not be able to recover.
Our inability to expand our current operations or the sub-optimal performance of our new branches may
adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
13. Our inability to maintain our capital adequacy ratio could adversely affect our business.
The NHB Directions currently require HFCs to comply with a capital to risk (weighted) assets ratio, or
capital adequacy ratio (“CRAR”), consisting of Tier I and Tier II capital. Under these requirements, an
HFC’s Tier I and Tier II capital may not be less than 12.0% of the aggregate of the HFC’s risk-weighted
assets and of risk adjusted value of off-balance sheet items, as applicable, with a minimum requirement of
Tier I capital of 6.0% on risk weighted assets. Further, the NHB Directions require that the Tier II capital
may not exceed 100% of the Tier I capital. As of June 30, 2018, our CRAR was 60.53%, with Tier I
capital comprising 55.33% and Tier II capital comprising 5.20%. As we continue to grow our loan
portfolio and asset base we will be required to raise additional Tier I and Tier II capital in order to remain
in compliance with the applicable capital adequacy ratios. Further, the NHB may increase its current
CRAR requirements, which may require us to raise additional capital. We cannot assure you that we will
be able to raise adequate additional capital in the future on terms favorable to us, or at all, which may
adversely affect the growth of our business.
14. We may face difficulties and incur additional expenses in operating in rural and semi-urban markets,
where infrastructure may be limited.
We primarily serve low and middle income self-employed customers in semi-urban and rural areas in India,
where infrastructure may be limited, particularly for transportation, electricity and internet bandwidth. At
offices in remote markets, we may face difficulties in conducting operations, such as accessing power
facilities, transporting people and equipment, and implementing technology measures. We may also face
increased costs in conducting our business and operations and implementing security measures. We cannot
assure you that such costs will not increase in the future as we expand our network in rural and semi urban
markets, which could adversely affect our profitability.
15. Our inability to meet our obligations, including financial and other covenants under our debt financing
arrangements could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and repay our outstanding borrowings will depend
primarily on the cash generated by our business. Our financing agreements contain certain restrictive
covenants that limit our ability to undertake certain types of transactions, any of which could adversely
affect our business and financial condition. We are required to obtain prior approval from our lenders for,
among other things:
effecting any change in the capital structure of our Company or any amendments to our
Memorandum or Articles of Association;
declaring and paying dividend in the event our Company defaults or delays in debt repayment of any
of the lenders or upon the occurrence of any event of default;
utilization of funds for any other purpose other than for which approval has been granted or agreed to
be granted;
23
changing the constitution of our Company;
Under these agreements, certain lenders also require us to maintain certain financial ratios such as asset
coverage ratio, security cover ratio, interest coverage ratio and debt service coverage ratio. Certain of our
financing agreements also contain cross-default and cross-acceleration clauses which are triggered in the
event of default by the Company under the respective financing agreements. Our failure to meet our
obligations under our financing agreements could have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
Our future borrowings may also contain similar restrictive provisions. If we fail to meet our debt service
obligations or covenants provided under the financing agreements, the relevant lenders could declare us to
be in default under the terms of our agreements or accelerate the maturity of our obligations. We cannot
assure you that, in the event of any such acceleration, we will have sufficient resources to repay the
borrowings.
16. We have substantial existing debt and will incur substantial additional debt, which could adversely
affect our financial health and our ability to obtain financing in the future and react to changes in our
business.
We have a significant amount of debt. As of June 30, 2018, our Total Borrowings were ₹ 27,217.61
million. Our significant amount of debt could have important consequences on our business and results of
operations. For example, it could:
make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations to the lenders under our financing agreements;
increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and housing loan industry conditions,
including interest rate increases, because a significant portion of our borrowings are and will continue
to be at variable rates of interest;
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to repayments of our debt,
which will reduce our funds available for providing loans and making other general expenses;
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the housing loan
industry;
place us at disadvantage compared to our competitors that have proportionately less debt; and
limit our ability to borrow additional funds in the future, if we need them, due to applicable financial
and restrictive covenants in our financing arrangements.
17. We are exposed to risks that may arise if our customers opt for balance transfers to other banks or
financial institutions, or if customers face increased difficulties in refinancing their existing housing
loans from other banks and financial institutions to our Company.
We offer our customers the option to choose between a fixed interest rate, a variable interest rate, or a
combination of fixed and variable interest rates in order to give them the flexibility to hedge against
unexpected interest rate movements. Variable interest rate loans are linked to our reference rate, which as
of June 30, 2018, was 14.85%. Based on market conditions, we price our loans at either a discount or a
premium to our reference rate, which is determined primarily on the basis of our cost of borrowings, which
in turn is determined by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the RBI’s
monetary policies, the applicable regulations prescribed by the NHB, inflation, competition and the
prevailing domestic and international economic conditions. As of June 30, 2018, 69.18% of our Total
Borrowings and securitization and assignment were at floating rates, while 52.95% of our Gross Loan
Assets were at floating rates with a weighted average yield of 12.20%.
Customers with variable interest rates or teaser rates on their loans are exposed to increased equated
24
monthly instalments (“EMIs”) when the loans’ interest rate adjusts upward from an initial fixed rate, as
applicable, to the rate computed in accordance with the applicable index and margin. Such customers
typically seek to refinance their loans through balance transfer to other banks and financial institutions, to
avoid increased EMIs that may result from an upwards adjustment of the loans’ interest rate. While
refinancing of loans by other lenders could in certain circumstances be beneficial for our customers, it
results in a loss of interest income expected from such loans over the course of their tenure. In addition, all
housing finance providers in India are prohibited from charging pre-payment penalties on loans with
variable interest rates, which has led to a high incidence of balance transfer, which results in a high
turnover of loan assets between lenders, causing lenders to incur increased origination costs. In addition,
increased difficulties for customers in refinancing their existing housing loan from another bank or
financial institution, may also adversely affect our balance transfer loan originations. As competition in the
housing finance sector intensifies, certain of our customers with variable interest rate loans may not be able
to find balance transfer options at comparably lower interest rates or other financing alternatives. As a
result, they may be exposed to the risks associated with increases in EMIs, which may lead to increased
delinquency or default rates. Increased delinquency rates may also result in deterioration in credit quality
of our loan portfolio, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
18. Any deterioration in the performance of any pool of receivables securitized to banks and other
institutions may adversely impact our financial performance.
We may, in the ordinary course of business, securitize a portion of our receivables from our loan portfolio
to banks and other financial institutions. Such securitization transactions are undertaken by us on the basis
of our internal estimates of funding requirements, and may vary from time to time. During the three
months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscals 2018, 2017 and 2016, we had securitized and assigned assets
worth ₹ 555.55 million, ₹ 5,935.14 million, ₹ 4,575.20 million and ₹ 2,454.38 million, respectively. As of
June 30, 2018, March 31, 2018, March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, our receivables securitized and
assigned expressed as a percentage of our Gross Loan Assets were 20.36%, 22.11%, 20.82% and 13.42%,
respectively. Any change in RBI or other government regulations in relation to assignments/securitizations
by HFCs could have an adverse impact on our assignment/securitization program. In the event the bank or
financial institution does not realize the receivables due under loans that have been securitized, the relevant
bank or institution can enforce the underlying credit enhancements provided by our Company. Should the
assignee banks or any other financial institutions seek to enforce the underlying credit enhancements such
as bank guarantees and fixed deposits, which are provided up to a specified percentage of the underlying
loans, it could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
19. We propose to utilize the Net Proceeds of the Fresh Issue to maintain the minimum capital adequacy
ratio and to meet future capital requirements arising out of the growth in our business and not for any
specified projects.
The Net Proceeds of the Fresh Issue will be utilised to increase our Company’s Tier I capital base to
maintain the minimum capital adequacy ratio in accordance with Regulation 30 of the NHB Directions and
to meet our future capital requirements which are expected to arise out of growth of our business and assets,
primarily our housing loans and other mortgage loans, and to ensure compliance with the NHB Directions.
Consequently, we will not be using the Net Proceeds for any specified projects. For further details, please
see “Objects of the Offer – Details of the Objects of the Fresh Issue” on page 105.
20. We utilize the services of certain third parties for our operations and any deficiency or interruption in
their services could adversely affect our business and reputation.
We engage third party service providers from time to time for services including the valuation of assets and
legal services. As of June 30, 2018, we had empaneled approximately 160 local law firms and lawyers and
approximately 110 technical agencies. Our ability to control the manner in which services are provided by
third party service providers is limited and we may be held liable on account of any deficiency of services
on the part of such service providers. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in continuing to
receive uninterrupted and quality services from our third party service providers. Any disruption,
negligence, fraud or inefficiency in the services provided by our third party service providers could
adversely affect our business and reputation.
21. We may not be able to identify, monitor and manage risks and effectively implement our risk
25
management policies.
The effectiveness of our risk management is limited by the quality and timeliness of available data. We
have devoted resources to develop our risk management policies and procedures and aim to continue to do
so in the future. We have policies and procedures in place to measure, manage and control the various risks
to which we are exposed, which include our asset-liability management policy, credit policy, investment
policy, collections policy and KYC and Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) policy and which articulate our
approach to the identification, measurement, monitoring, controlling and mitigation of various risks
associated with our operations in addition to providing certain important guidelines for strict adherence.
Our Board of Directors and the Risk Management Committee review our risk management policies from
time to time. However, our policies and procedures to identify, monitor and manage risks may not be fully
effective. Certain of our risk management processes are not automated and are subject to human error.
Certain of our methods of managing risks are based on the use of observed historical market behaviour and
may not accurately predict future risk exposures, which could be significantly greater than those indicated
by the historical measures. In addition, as we seek to expand the scope of our operations, we also face the
risk of inability to develop commensurate risk management policies and procedures.
Further, a portion of our risk management strategies may not be effective in a difficult or less liquid market
environment, where other market participants may be attempting to use the same or similar strategies to
deal with the difficult market conditions. In such circumstances, it may be difficult for us to reduce our risk
positions due to the activity of such other market participants. Other risk management methods depend
upon an evaluation of information regarding the markets we operate in, the customers we service and
certain other matters, which may not be accurate, complete, up-to-date or properly evaluated in all cases.
Management of operational, legal or regulatory risks requires, among other things, policies and procedures
to properly record and verify a number of transactions and events. Although we have established these
policies and procedures, they may not be fully effective.
Our investment and interest rate risk are dependent upon our ability to properly identify, and mark-to-
market changes in the value of financial instruments caused by changes in market prices or rates. Our
earnings are dependent upon the effectiveness of our management of changes in credit quality and risk
concentrations, the accuracy of our valuation models and our critical accounting estimates and the
adequacy of our allowances for loan losses. To the extent our assessments, assumptions or estimates prove
inaccurate or not predictive of actual results, we could suffer higher than anticipated losses. If we fail to
effectively implement our risk management policies, it could have an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
22. Any failure, inadequacy or security breach in our information technology systems may adversely affect
our business, results of operations and reputation.
Our operations depend on our ability to process a high volume of transactions across our network of
branches, which are connected through computer systems and servers to our Registered and Corporate
Office. Our financial, accounting, analytics or other data processing systems may fail to operate
adequately, or at all, as a result of events that are beyond our control, including a disruption of electrical or
communications services, particularly in the rural and semi-urban markets in which we primarily operate.
Our ability to operate and remain competitive will depend in part on our ability to maintain and upgrade
our information technology systems on a timely and cost-effective basis. The information available to and
received by our management through our existing systems may not be timely and sufficient to manage
risks or to plan for and respond to changes in market conditions and other developments in our operations.
We may experience difficulties in upgrading, developing and expanding our systems in a timely manner to
accommodate our growing customer base.
Our operations also rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other
information in our computer systems and networks. Our computer systems, servers, software, including
software licensed from vendors and networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses
or other malicious code and other events that could compromise data integrity and security and result in
identity theft including customer data, employee data and proprietary business data, for which we could
potentially be liable. Any failure to effectively maintain or improve or upgrade our systems in a timely
manner could adversely affect our competitiveness, financial position and results of operations. Moreover,
if any of these systems do not operate properly, or if there are other shortcomings or failures in our internal
processes or systems, it could affect our business, results of operations and reputation.
26
23. The Indian housing finance industry is extensively regulated and any changes in laws and regulations
applicable to HFCs could have an adverse effect on our business.
We are subject to the corporate, taxation and other laws in effect in India and the states and cities in which
we operate, which require continued monitoring and compliance. These regulations, apart from regulating
the manner in which a company carries out its business and internal operations, prescribe various
periodical compliances and filings, including but not limited to filing of forms and declarations with the
relevant registrar of companies and the NHB. Pursuant to the NHB Act and various regulations, circulars
and guidelines issued by the NHB, HFCs are currently required to comply with, among others, limits on
borrowings, investments, interest rates and tenure on public deposits, prudential norms for income
recognition, asset classification and provisioning for standard and non-performing assets, norms for
creation of special reserves and provision for DTL as well as minimum capital adequacy and liquidity
requirements. The regulations applicable to us also address issues such as our conduct with customers and
recovery practices, market conduct and foreign investment.
The laws and regulations governing the housing finance industry in India have become increasingly complex
and cover a wide variety of issues. Compliance with many of the regulations applicable to our operations
in India, including any restrictions on investments and other activities currently being carried out by us,
involves a number of risks, particularly in markets where applicable regulations may be subject to varying
interpretations. If the interpretation of the regulators and authorities varies from our interpretation, we may
be subject to penalties and our business could be adversely affected. Moreover, these laws and regulations
can be amended, supplemented or changed at any time such that we may be required to restructure our
business and activities and incur additional expenses to comply with such laws and regulations, which could
adversely affect our business.
Additionally, we are required to make several filings with the NHB, the RoC and other relevant authorities
pursuant to the provisions of NHB regulations, the Companies Act and other regulations. If we fail to
comply with these requirements, or a regulator claims we have not complied with these requirements, we
may be subject to penalties and compounding proceedings. For further information on laws and regulations
applicable to us, see “Key Regulations and Policies in India” on page 164.
24. We require certain statutory and regulatory approvals for conducting our business and our inability to
obtain, retain or renew them in a timely manner, or at all, may adversely affect our operations.
Our operations are subject to extensive government regulation and we are required to obtain and maintain a
number of statutory and regulatory permits and approvals under central, state and local government rules in
India, generally for carrying out our business. For details of approvals relating to our business and
operations, see “Government and Other Approvals” on page 449.
While we have obtained a number of approvals required for our operations, certain approvals for which we
have submitted applications are currently pending. We are also in the process of applying for the renewal
of certain approvals that have expired. In addition, we may apply for more approvals, including the
renewal of approvals which may expire from time to time, and approvals in the ordinary course of
business.
A majority of these approvals are granted for a limited duration and are subject to numerous conditions.
We cannot assure you that these approvals would not be suspended or revoked in the event of non-
compliance or alleged non-compliance with any terms or conditions thereof, or pursuant to any regulatory
action. If there is any failure by us to comply with the applicable regulations or if the regulations governing
our business are amended, we may incur increased costs, be subject to penalties, have our approvals and
permits revoked or suffer a disruption in our operations, any of which could adversely affect our business.
25. Non-compliance with the NHB’s observations made pursuant to its periodic inspections could expose us
to certain penalties and restrictions.
We are subject to periodic inspection by the NHB under the NHB Act, 1987 (the “NHB Act”), pursuant
to which the NHB inspects our books of accounts and other records for the purpose of verifying the
correctness or completeness of any statement, information or particulars furnished to the NHB or for
obtaining any information, which we may have failed to furnish when called upon to do so. In its past
inspection reports, the NHB has identified certain non-compliances with the policy circulars issued by
NHB including in relation to charging pre-payment charges and penalties, classification of loan into NPAs
27
accounts and classification of loan into housing and non-housing loan. NHB has, in the past provided
observations to strengthen our KYC compliance and audit systems.
NHB has recently issued its inspection report for Fiscal 2017, identifying certain deficiencies and
observations, including non-classification of rescheduled loan accounts, where interest rates were
renegotiated during Fiscal 2017, as sub-standard assets; higher provisioning required based on the
foregoing, and on account of incorrect classification of multiple loans given for housing purpose to same
borrower as housing loans, instead of as commercial real estate (“CRE”); incorrect inclusion of off-
balance item of credit enhancement through liens over fixed deposits under on-balance sheet items instead
of as off-balance sheet items; non-disclosure of a percentage of outstanding loans granted against the
collateral of gold jewellery, although no loans were granted against the collateral of gold jewellery in
Fiscal 2017; non-compliance with certain requirements as per Know-your-client (“KYC”) and Anti-Money
Laundering (“AML”) norms, non-compliance with national disaster management guidelines issued by the
NHB; formulation of comprehensive audit policy/ audit plan; compliance with Paragraph 11 of the
Housing Finance Companies issuance of Non-Convertible Debentures on Private Placement basis (NHB)
Directions, 2014; updating credit policy with details on restructuring of loans; strengthening of post-
disbursement processes; inclusion of formal process for periodic verification of assets and review of
borrowers; and our investment policy being observed to be silent on empanelment of brokers and requiring
certain amendments to our MoA which we have updated. We have noted the observations, to the extent
applicable, and furnished our responses and confirmed that we will ensure compliance, pursuant to which
NHB has issued a composite supervisory rating with reference to our Company’s position as on March 31,
2017, noting that our Company is basically sound, with certain corrective steps to be taken to improve its
functions/systems in certain areas, which is to be verified in the subsequent inspection.
In the past, the NHB has issued observations on certain matters for Fiscals 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2016,
including on our compliance with KYC requirements, internal audit procedures, and conflicts of interest;
failure to create a reserve fund in accordance with the NHB Act in Fiscal 2013-2014; our NOF being
overstated in Fiscals 2014 and 2016, on account of incorrect reversal of deferred tax liability and short
booking of interest income on inter-corporate borrowings, and on creation of deferred tax asset against
additional provisions for assets, in the respective years; and non-classification of certain loans as NPAs and
overstatement of CRAR, on account of reduced assessment of NOF, reduction in Tier-II capital and
incorrect risk weight assignment on certain assets in Fiscal 2016. We have replied to the NHB and taken
corrective measures. We have not received any show cause notices from the NHB in relation to the above,
as on the date of this Prospectus.
However, separately, the NHB issued a show cause notice to us on December 20, 2013, in relation to
submission of half yearly returns in the form prescribed under the Housing Finance Companies (NHB)
Directions, 2010. Our Company replied to this notice and provided the requested clarifications. For details,
see “Outstanding Litigation and Other Material Developments - Regulatory Matters involving NHB and
RoC” on page 445.
While we seek to comply with all regulatory provisions applicable to us, in the event we are unable to
comply with the NHB’s directions at any time in the future, we could be subject to penalties and
restrictions imposed by the NHB. Imposition of any future penalty or adverse findings by the NHB,
requiring corrective steps entailing a compliance cost for us, may have an adverse effect on our business,
results of operations, financial condition and reputation.
26. We depend on the accuracy and completeness of information provided by our customers and our
reliance on any misleading information may affect our judgment of their credit worthiness, as well as
the value of and title to the collateral.
While deciding whether to extend credit to customers, we rely, to a significant extent, on the information
furnished to us by the customers for certain key elements of the credit assessment process, including their
financial transactions and credit history. We follow the Know Your Customer guidelines prescribed by the
NHB for potential customers, verify their place of business or employment and residence, as applicable,
and verify details with the NHB’s caution list. We may also rely on certain representations from customers
as to the accuracy and completeness of that information. For ascertaining the creditworthiness and
encumbrances on the collateral provided, we may depend on the respective registrars and sub-registrars of
assurances, local legal agencies, credit information companies or credit bureaus, and on independent
valuers in relation to the value of the collateral, and our reliance on any misleading information may affect
our judgement of credit worthiness of potential borrowers, and the value of and title to the collateral. We
28
may receive inaccurate or incomplete information as a result of negligence or fraudulent misrepresentation.
Our risk management measures may not be adequate to prevent or deter such activities in all cases, which
may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Further, a significant number of our customers are first time buyers of financial products and often may not
have credit histories supported by tax returns and other documents that would enable us to accurately
assess their creditworthiness. We may also not receive updated information regarding any change in the
financial condition of our customers or may receive inaccurate or incomplete information as a result of any
fraudulent misrepresentation by our customers or employees. Moreover, the availability of accurate and
comprehensive credit information on retail customers and small businesses in India is more limited than
for larger corporate customers, which reduces our ability to accurately assess the credit risk associated with
such lending. Although as part of our credit policy, we are required to conduct credit checks of all our
customers, including with credit bureaus, conduct site-visits and personal discussions, we cannot assure
you that such credit information will be accurate or comprehensive. Difficulties in assessing credit risks
associated with our day-to-day lending operations may lead to an increase in the level of our non-
performing assets, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
27. We may not be able to maintain our current levels of profitability due to increased costs or reduced
spreads between the interest rates at which we borrow and lend.
Our business strategy involves a high level of ongoing interaction with our customers. We believe that this
involvement is an important part of strengthening our relationship with our customers, identifying new
cross- selling opportunities and monitoring our performance. However, this level of involvement also
entails higher levels of operating costs and also requires a relatively higher gross spread, or margin, on the
products we offer in order to maintain profitability. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain
our current levels of profitability if the gross spreads on our products were to reduce substantially, which
could adversely affect our results of operations.
28. Significant changes by the Government or the RBI or the NHB in their policy initiatives facilitating the
provision of housing and housing finance or any change in the tax incentives that the Government
currently provides to HFCs may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
The Government of India provides certain incentives to encourage providing credit to the housing industry
and has implemented policies, particularly in relation to affordable housing, that are aimed at providing
low-cost, long-term credit to the low and middle income segments in rural and urban parts of India. The
NHB provides refinance for certain qualifying loans at reduced rates to certain qualifying HFCs through its
schemes. In addition, the RBI provides certain incentives to the housing finance industry by extending
priority sector status to housing loans. Certain key measures taken by the RBI to assist in fulfilling the
Government’s objectives include the reduction in risk weights applicable for affordable housing loans for
the purpose of calculation of CRAR and allowing HFCs to raise long-term ECBs for on-lending towards
affordable housing, which the RBI defines as housing loans with a size of up to ₹ 2.50 million. For further
details in relation to these Government affordable housing schemes and initiatives, see “Industry Overview
– Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban” and “Key Regulations and Policies in India – Certain RBI
Notifications” on pages 116 and 171, respectively. However, we cannot assure you that the Government,
the RBI and the NHB will continue to provide such incentives in the future.
Further, pursuant to Section 36(1)(viii) of the (Indian) Income Tax Act, 1961 (the “Income Tax Act”), up
to 20.00% of profits from housing finance activities may be carried to a special reserve and will not be
subject to income tax. The balance of our special reserve as of March 31, 2018 was ₹ 482.06 million. In
addition, home buyers receive tax incentives on home loans for principal and interest payment of home
loans, which has improved affordability levels of borrowers. Principal repayment qualifies for tax
deduction under section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. However, we cannot assure you that the
Government will continue to make such benefits available to HFCs or home buyers.
Any significant change by the Government in its various policy initiatives facilitating provision of housing
and housing finance or any change in the tax incentives that it currently provides to HFCs may have an
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
29. A portion of our collections from customers is in cash, exposing us to certain operational risks.
29
For overdue cases, our field executives visit customers to collect installments in methods including cash.
Cash collections expose us to the risk of theft, fraud, misappropriation or unauthorized transactions by
employees responsible for dealing with such cash collections. These risks are exacerbated by the high
levels of responsibility we delegate to our employees and the geographically dispersed nature of our
network. We primarily cater to customers in rural and semi-urban markets, which carry additional risks due
to limitations on infrastructure and technology.
While we have implemented technology that tracks our cash collections, taken insurance policies,
including fidelity coverage and coverage for cash in safes and in transit, and undertaken measures to detect
and prevent unauthorized transactions, fraud or misappropriation, it may not be sufficient to prevent or deter
such activities in all cases, which may adversely affect our operations and profitability. Further, we may be
subject to regulatory or other proceedings in connection with any unauthorized transactions, fraud or
misappropriation by our employees, which could adversely affect our goodwill. For example, one FIR
have been filed against certain employees of our Company alleging cheating and criminal conspiracy with
respect to a loan facility. For further details, see “Outstanding Litigation and Other Material
Developments - Outstanding criminal litigation involving our Company - Criminal proceedings against
our Company” on page 442. We may also be party to criminal proceedings and civil litigation related to
our cash collections.
30. Our Company and our Directors are involved in certain legal and other proceedings. Any adverse
outcome in such proceedings may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
In the ordinary course of business, our Company and our Directors are involved in certain legal
proceedings, which are pending at varying levels of adjudication at different fora. The summary of
outstanding matters set out below includes details of criminal proceedings, tax proceedings, statutory and
regulatory actions and other material pending litigation involving our Company and our Directors.
According to the Materiality Policy, any outstanding litigation, other than criminal proceedings, statutory
or regulatory actions and taxation matters, is considered material if the monetary amount of claim by or
against the entity or person in any such pending matter is in excess of ₹ 18.58 million or if an adverse
outcome of any such litigation could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, operations,
financial position or reputation.
30
Involvement in such proceedings could divert our management’s time and attention and consume financial
resources. Further, an adverse judgment in these proceedings could have an adverse impact on our business,
results of operations and financial condition. For further details, in relation to the proceedings involving
our Company and Directors, see “Outstanding Litigation and Other Material Developments” on page 442.
We cannot assure you that any of the outstanding material litigation matters will be settled in our favour or
in favour of our Company or Directors, as applicable, or that no additional liability will arise out of these
proceedings.
31. The grant of options under the ESOP-2016 scheme may result in a charge to our profit and loss account
and may adversely impact our net income.
Our Company follows the intrinsic value method for the accounting of employee compensation cost on
options granted, pursuant to which, if the exercise price of any options granted is lower than the fair value
of the Equity Shares (“Fair Value”) at the time of grant, it will result in a charge to our profit and loss
account on a straight line basis over the period of vesting, equal to the product of the number of Equity
Shares granted and the difference between the exercise price and the Fair Value at the time of grant.
We established the ESOP-2016 scheme pursuant to the shareholders’ resolutions dated February 23, 2017,
wherein we approved the issuance of 5,812,595 options convertible into up to 5,812,595 Equity Shares.
For further details, see “Capital Structure – Employee Stock Option Scheme" on page 93.
Further, we may continue to introduce employee stock option schemes in the future, where we may issue
options to our employees at discount to the market price of the Equity Shares, which may have an adverse
impact on our results of operations and financial condition. The holders of our Equity Shares may also
experience dilution of their shareholding to the extent that we issue any Equity Shares pursuant to any
options issued under our employee stock option schemes.
32. We are dependent on a number of Key Managerial Personnel and our senior management, and the loss
of, or our inability to attract or retain such persons could adversely affect our business, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our performance depends largely on the efforts and abilities of our Key Managerial Personnel and our
senior management, including our operational, credit managers and branch managers. We believe that the
inputs and experience of our senior management, in particular, and other key personnel are valuable for the
development of our business, operations and the strategic directions taken by our Company. We cannot
assure you that these individuals or any other member of our senior management team will not leave us or
join a competitor or that we will be able to retain such personnel or find adequate replacements in a timely
manner, or at all. We may require a long period of time to hire and train replacement personnel when
qualified personnel terminate their employment with our Company. We may also be required to increase
our levels of employee compensation more rapidly than in the past to remain competitive in attracting
employees that our business requires. The loss of the services of such persons may have an adverse effect
on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
33. Our Promoters, Directors and Key Managerial Personnel have interests in us other than the
reimbursement of expenses incurred and normal remuneration and benefits.
Our Promoters, Directors and Key Managerial Personnel may be deemed to be interested to the extent of
Equity Shares held by them, directly or indirectly, in our Company, as well as to the extent of any
dividends, bonuses or other distributions on such shareholding. Additionally, certain of our Directors and
Key Managerial Personnel may also be regarded as interested to the extent of employee stock options
granted by our Company and which may be granted to them from time to time pursuant to the ESOP –
2016, as applicable. For further details, see “Capital Structure” on page 84.
We cannot assure you that our Promoters, Directors and our Key Managerial Personnel, if they are also our
shareholders, will exercise their rights as shareholders to the benefit and best interest of our Company. For
further details, see “Our Promoters, Promoter Group and Group Companies”, “Our Management –
Interest of Directors” and “Our Management – Interest of our Key Managerial Personnel” on pages 197,
186 and 194.
34. Our operations could be adversely affected by strikes, work stoppages or increased wage demands by our
31
employees or any other kind of disputes with our employees.
As of June 30, 2018, we employed 1,996 personnel across our operations. Although we have not
experienced any material labour unrest in the past, we cannot assure you that we will not experience
disruptions in work due to disputes or other problems with our work force, which may adversely affect our
ability to continue our business operations. Any labour unrest directed against us, could directly or
indirectly prevent or hinder our normal operating activities, and, if not resolved in a timely manner, could
lead to disruptions in our operations. These actions are impossible for us to predict or control and any such
event could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
35. Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient or may not adequately protect us against all material
hazards, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We believe that the insurance coverage we maintain is reasonably adequate to cover the normal risks
associated with the operation of our businesses. Even if we have insurance for the incident giving rise to
the loss, we may be required to pay a significant deductible on any claim for recovery of such a loss, or the
amount of the loss may exceed our coverage for the loss. However, we cannot assure you that any claim
under the insurance policies maintained by us will be honored fully, in part or on time, or that we have
obtained sufficient insurance to cover all potential losses. In addition, our insurance coverage expires from
time to time. We apply for the renewal of our insurance coverage in the normal course of our business, but
we cannot assure you that such renewals will be granted in a timely manner, or at acceptable cost, or at all.
To the extent that we suffer loss or damage, or successful assertion of one or more large claims against us
for events for which we are not insured, or for which we did not obtain or maintain insurance, or which is
not covered by insurance, exceeds our insurance coverage or where our insurance claims are rejected, the
loss would have to be borne by us and our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could
be adversely affected. For further details on our insurance arrangements, see “Our Business – Insurance”
on page 162.
36. We conduct certain business operations on leased premises and our inability to renew such leases may
adversely affect our operations.
As of June 30, 2018, we conducted our operations through 166 branches and the premises of all our
branches have been taken on a lease or leave and license basis. Any adverse impact on the title of the
owners from whose premises we operate, breach of the contractual terms of any lease, leave and license
agreements, or if any of the owners of these premises do not renew the agreements under which we
occupy the premises, or if they seek to renew such agreements on terms and conditions unfavourable to
us, or if they terminate our agreements, we may suffer a disruption in our operations and will have to look
for alternate premises. We may be unable to relocate our offices in a timely manner or at an acceptable
cost, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
37. Fluctuations in the market values of our investments could adversely affect our result of operations and
financial condition.
38. The bankruptcy code in India may affect our rights to recover loans from our customers.
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (“Bankruptcy Code”) was notified on August 5, 2016. The
Bankruptcy Code offers a uniform and comprehensive insolvency legislation encompassing all companies,
partnerships and individuals (other than financial firms). It allows creditors to assess the viability of a
debtor as a business decision, and agree upon a plan for its revival or a speedy liquidation. The Bankruptcy
Code creates a new institutional framework, consisting of a regulator, insolvency professionals,
information utilities and adjudicatory mechanisms, which will facilitate a formal and time-bound
32
insolvency resolution and liquidation process.
In case insolvency proceedings are initiated against a debtor to our Company, we may not have complete
control over the recovery of amounts due to us. Under the Bankruptcy Code, upon invocation of an
insolvency resolution process, a committee of creditors is constituted by the interim resolution
professional, wherein each financial creditor is given a voting share proportionate to the debts owed to it.
Any decision of the committee of creditors must be taken by a vote of not less than 75% of the voting
share of all financial creditors. Any resolution plan approved by committee of creditors is binding upon all
creditors, even if they vote against it.
In case a liquidation process is opted for, the Bankruptcy Code provides for a fixed order of priority in
which proceeds from the sale of the debtor’s assets are to be distributed. Before sale proceeds are
distributed to a secured creditor, they are to be distributed for the costs of the insolvency resolution and
liquidation processes and debts owed to workmen and other employees. Further, under this process, dues
owed to the Central and State Governments rank below the claims of secured creditors, workmen and other
employee dues and unsecured financial creditors. Moreover, other secured creditors may decide to opt out
of the process, in which case they are permitted to realise their security interests in priority.
Accordingly, if the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code are invoked against any of the borrowers of our
Company, it may affect our Company’s ability to recover our loans from the borrowers and enforcement of
our Company’s rights will be subject to the Bankruptcy Code.
39. Our inability to detect money-laundering and other illegal activities fully and on a timely basis may
expose us to additional liability and adversely affect our business and reputation.
We are required to comply with applicable anti-money-laundering (“AML”) and anti-terrorism laws and
other regulations in India. In the ordinary course of our operations, we run the risk of failing to comply
with the prescribed KYC procedures and the consequent risk of fraud and money laundering by dishonest
customers and assessment of penalties or imposition of sanctions against us for such compliance failures
despite having implemented systems and controls designed to prevent the occurrence of these risks.
Although we believe that we have adequate internal policies, processes and systems in place to prevent
and detect any AML activity and ensure KYC compliance, we cannot assure you that we will be able to
fully control instances of any potential or attempted violation by other parties. Any inability on our part to
detect such activities fully and on a timely basis, may subject us to regulatory actions including imposition
of fines and penalties and adversely affect our business and reputation.
40. We have in the past entered into related party transactions and may continue to do so in the future,
which may potentially involve conflicts of interest with the equity shareholders.
We have entered into various transactions with related parties, including for payment of salaries and
wages of key management persons. While we believe that all such transactions have been conducted on
an arm’s length basis and contain commercially reasonable terms, we cannot assure you that we could not
have achieved more favorable terms had such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties. It is
likely that we may enter into related party transactions in the future. Although going forward, all related
party transactions that we may enter into, will be subject to board or shareholder approval, as necessary
under the Companies Act, 2013 and the SEBI Listing Regulations, we cannot assure you that such
transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our financial condition
and results of operations or that we could not have achieved more favorable terms if such transactions had
not been entered into with related parties. Such related party transactions may potentially involve
conflicts of interest. For details, see “Related Party Transactions” on page 202. These related party
transactions entered into by us, were in compliance with the Companies Act. We cannot assure you that
such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will always be in the best interests of our minority
shareholders and will not have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition
and cash flows.
41. Our Promoters may have interests in entities in businesses similar to ours, which may result in conflicts
of interest with us.
Our Promoters may have investments or interests in entities engaged in businesses similar to ours,
including in other geographies or across the financial services sector in general, which may, in the future,
result in conflicts of interest with us.
33
42. We have had negative net cash flows in the past and may continue to have negative cash flows in the
future.
The following table sets forth our cash flow for the years indicated:
(₹ in million)
Three months Fiscal

For further details, see “Financial Statements” and “Management‘s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 218 and 398, respectively. We cannot assure
you that our net cash flows will be positive in the future.
43. We have certain contingent liabilities that have not been provided for in our financial statements,
which, if they materialize, may adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows.
As of June 30, 2018, our contingent liabilities that have not been provided for, as per AS-29 issued by
ICAI, are as set out in the table below:
Particulars Amount
(₹ in million)
Credit enhancements provided by the company towards Asset 114.73
Assignment / Securitization (including cash collaterals, principal and
interest subordination)
If a significant portion of these liabilities materialize, it could have an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. For further details, see “Financial Statements” on page 218.
44. Unsecured borrowings or working capital availed by us in the future may, depending on the terms of
sanction, be recalled by our lenders at any time.
Unsecured borrowings or working capital availed by us in the future may, depending on the terms of
sanction, be recalled by lenders at any time, with or without the existence of an event of default. Any
demand by a lender for accelerated repayment may adversely affect our financial condition.
45. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on our earnings, financial condition, working
capital requirements, capital expenditures and restrictive covenants of our financing arrangements.
Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on our earnings, financial condition, cash flow,
working capital requirements, capital expenditure and restrictive covenants of our financing arrangements.
Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our
Board and will depend on factors that our Board deems relevant, including among others, our future
earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, business prospects and any other financing arrangements.
Additionally, our ability to pay dividends may also be restricted by the terms of financing arrangements
that we may enter into. Dividends distributed by us will attract dividend distribution tax at rates applicable
from time to time and may be subject to other requirements prescribed by the NHB. We cannot assure you
that we will be able to pay dividends in the future. For further details, see “Dividend Policy” on page 203.
46. Our management will have flexibility over the use of the Net Proceeds of the Fresh Issue.
We intend to use the Net Proceeds of the Fresh Issue to increase our Company’s Tier I capital base to
maintain the minimum capital adequacy ratio in accordance with Regulation 30 of the NHB Directions, to
meet our future capital requirements and to ensure compliance with the NHB Directions. For further
details, see “Objects of the Offer” on page 105.
34
Our management may not apply the Net Proceeds of the Fresh Issue in ways that increase the value of your
investment. Various risks and uncertainties, including those set forth in this “Risk Factors” section, may
limit or delay our efforts to use the Net Proceeds of the Fresh Issue in the manner indicated in “Objects of
the Offer” on page 105.
47. A portion of the proceeds from this Offer will not be available to us.
As this Offer includes an offer for sale of Equity Shares by the Selling Shareholders (including our
Promoters), the proceeds from the Offer for Sale will be remitted to the Selling Shareholders and our
Company will not benefit from such proceeds.
48. Our Promoters and Promoter Group will continue to exert substantial voting control over our Company
after completion of the Offer, which may limit your ability to influence the outcome of matters submitted
for approval of our shareholders.
As on the date of this Prospectus, our Promoters and Promoter Group together hold 81.26% of our pre-
Offer Equity Share capital. Following the completion of the Offer, our Promoters and Promoter Group,
may continue to hold a majority of our post-Offer Equity Share capital. This concentration of ownership
could limit your ability to influence corporate matters requiring shareholders’ approval. Our Promoters and
Promoter Group will have the ability to significantly influence matters requiring shareholders’ approval,
including the ability to appoint Directors on our Board and the right to approve significant actions at Board
and at shareholders’ meetings, including the issuance of Equity Shares and dividend payments, business
plans, mergers and acquisitions, any consolidation or joint venture arrangements, any amendment to our
Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association. In addition, if our shareholders do not act
together, such matters requiring shareholders’ approval may be delayed or may not occur at all, which
could adversely affect our business. Moreover, these shareholders are not obligated to provide any business
opportunities to us. If such other shareholders invest in another company in competition with us, we may
lose the support provided to us by them, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows. We cannot assure you that our existing shareholders will not have
conflicts of interest with other shareholders or with our Company. Any such conflict may adversely affect
our ability to execute our business strategy or to operate our business.
Further, in terms of our Articles of Association (as they will exist upon commencement of listing of our
Equity Shares pursuant to this Offer), our Promoters, Lake District and ESCL will have the right to, inter
alia, appoint directors on our Board (subject to maintaining certain thresholds of shareholding in our
Company), if such rights are approved by our shareholders, by way of a special resolution, at the first
general meeting held post-listing. For details, see “History and Certain Corporate Matters - Share
Purchase and Shareholders’ Agreements” on page 178.
49. We have relied on third party industry reports which have been used for industry related data in this
Prospectus and such data have not been independently verified by us.
We have relied on the ICRA Affordable Housing Finance Industry Report dated June 7, 2018 for industry
related data in this Prospectus. The report uses certain methodologies for market sizing and forecasting.
Neither we, nor any of the GCBRLMs and BRLM have independently verified such data and therefore,
while we believe them to be true, we cannot assure you that they are complete or reliable. Accordingly,
investors should read the industry related disclosure in this Prospectus in this context. Industry sources and
publications are also prepared based on information as of specific dates and may no longer be current or
reflect current trends. Industry sources and publications may also base their information on estimates,
projections, forecasts and assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. While industry sources take due care
and caution while preparing their reports, they do not guarantee the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of
the data. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on, or base their investment decision
solely on this information.
50. During the last 12 months preceding the date of this Prospectus, our Company has issued Equity Shares
at a price that may be lower than the Offer Price.
We have, in the last 12 months prior to filing this Prospectus, issued Equity Shares at a price that could be
lower than the Offer Price. For further details, see “Capital Structure” on page 84.
35
External Risk Factors
51. Investors may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court against our Company.
Our Company is incorporated under the laws of India. Our Company’s assets are primarily located in India
and substantially all of our Company’s Directors and Key Managerial Personnel are residents of India. As
a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process upon our Company or such persons
in jurisdictions outside India, or to enforce against them judgments obtained in courts outside India.
Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is provided for under Section 13 of Civil Code on a
statutory basis. Section 13 of the Civil Code provides that foreign judgments shall be conclusive regarding
any matter directly adjudicated upon, except: (i) where the judgment has not been pronounced by a court of
competent jurisdiction; (ii) where the judgment has not been given on the merits of the case; (iii) where it
appears on the face of the proceedings that the judgment is founded on an incorrect view of international
law or a refusal to recognize the law of India in cases to which such law is applicable; (iv) where the
proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to natural justice; (v) where the judgment
has been obtained by fraud; and (vi) where the judgment sustains a claim founded on a breach of any law
then in force in India. Under the Civil Code, a court in India shall, upon the production of any document
purporting to be a certified copy of a foreign judgment, presume that the judgment was pronounced by a
court of competent jurisdiction, unless the contrary appears on record. However, under the Civil Code,
such presumption may be displaced by proving that the court did not have jurisdiction.
India is not a party to any international treaty in relation to the recognition or enforcement of foreign
judgments. Section 44A of the Civil Code provides that where a foreign judgment has been rendered by a
superior court, within the meaning of that Section, in any country or territory outside of India which the
Central Government has by notification declared to be in a reciprocating territory, it may be enforced in
India by proceedings in execution as if the judgment had been rendered by the relevant court in India.
However, Section 44A of the Civil Code is applicable only to monetary decrees not being of the same
nature as amounts payable in respect of taxes, other charges of a like nature or of a fine or other penalties.
We have been advised by our Indian counsel that the United States and India do not currently have a treaty
providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments, other than arbitration awards, in civil
and commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any federal or
state court in the United States on civil liability, whether or not predicated solely upon the federal
securities laws of the United States, would not be enforceable in India. However, the party in whose favour
such final judgment is rendered may bring a new suit in a competent court in India based on a final
judgment that has been obtained in the United States. The suit must be brought in India within three years
from the date of the judgment in the same manner as any other suit filed to enforce a civil liability in India.
It is unlikely that a court in India would award damages on the same basis as a foreign court if an action
was brought in India. Furthermore, it is unlikely that an Indian court would enforce a foreign judgment if
that court were of the view that the amount of damages awarded was excessive or inconsistent with public
policy or Indian practice. It is uncertain as to whether an Indian court would enforce foreign judgments that
would contravene or violate Indian law. However, a party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is
required to obtain approval from the RBI under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, to execute
such a judgment or to repatriate any amount recovered.
52. Political, economic or other factors beyond our control may have an adverse impact on our business
and results of operations.
The following external risks may have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations, should
any of them materialize:
increase in interest rates may adversely affect our access to capital and increase our borrowing costs,
which may constrain our ability to grow our business and operate profitably;
political instability, resulting from a change in governmental or economic and fiscal policies, may
36
adversely affect economic conditions in India. In recent years, India has implemented various
economic and political reforms. Reforms in relation to land acquisition policies and trade barriers
have led to increased incidents of social unrest in India over which we have no control;
civil unrest, acts of violence, terrorist attacks, regional conflicts or situations or war; and
India has experienced natural calamities such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and drought in recent
years.
If such events should impact the national or any regional economies, our business and results of operations
may be adversely affected.
53. We have included our Special Purpose Financial Statements in this Prospectus, which are subject to
change and investors should read the related disclosure in this context.
We have included our Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements and Special Purpose
Standalone Financial Statements (together, “Special Purpose Financial Statements”) in this Prospectus.
We will prepare and issue our first full year Ind AS financial statements as at and for the year ending
March 31, 2019. Until the first full year Ind AS financial statements are issued, the balances in the Special
Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements are preliminary and may require adjustments if (a) there
are any new Ind AS standards issued through March 31, 2019, (b) there are any amendments or
modifications made to existing Ind AS standards or interpretations thereof through March 31, 2019
effecting the Ind AS balances in these financial statements and (c) if we make any changes in the elections
or exemptions selected on adoption of Ind AS at its transition date of April 1, 2017.
The Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the
recognition and measurement principles of prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read
with the Ind AS Rules. However, all disclosures as required under Ind AS have not been furnished in these
Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements. Accordingly, the relevant comparative financial
information under Ind AS for the three months period ended June 30, 2017 (comprising the statement of
profit and loss, the cash flow statement and the statement for changes in equity for the three months period
ended June 30, 2017) has not been presented in these Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial
Statements. Similarly, while preparing the Special Purpose Standalone Financial Statements for the year
ended March 31, 2018, the relevant comparative financial information under Ind AS for the year ended
March 31, 2017 has not been presented. Only a complete set of financial statements together with
comparative financial information can provide a fair presentation of our state of affairs (financial position),
profit (financial performance including other comprehensive income), cash flows and the changes in
equity.
In addition, we have presented our Special Purpose Financial Statements on a standalone basis and have
not prepared and included special purpose consolidated financial statements prepared using recognition
and measurement principles of Ind AS. Our Company has only one subsidiary, Aavas Finserv Limited,
with effect from November 30, 2017, whose Indian GAAP financial results reflected total assets of ₹ 45.42
million, or 0.11% of our total assets as of June 30, 2018 and revenue of ₹ 0.27 million and ₹ 0.17 million,
or 0.01% and 0.01% of our total revenue for the period ending March 31, 2018 and the three months ended
June 30, 2018, respectively. For further details in relation to the impact of Ind AS on the preparation and
presentation of our financial statements, see “Summary of Significant Differences between Indian GAAP
and Ind AS” and “Special Purpose Financial Information Management Discussion” on pages 393 and
422, respectively.
Accordingly, the degree to which the Indian GAAP and Special Purpose Financial Statements included in
this Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader's level of
familiarity with Indian accounting practices. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting
practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Prospectus should accordingly be limited.
54. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse application of tax laws,
may adversely affect our business, prospects and results of operations.
The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate is evolving and subject to change. Such
changes may adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects, to the extent that we are
unable to suitably respond to and comply with any such changes in applicable law and policy. For example,
37
the Government of India implemented a comprehensive national goods and services tax (“GST”) regime
with effect from July 1, 2017, that combines multiple taxes and levies by the Central and State
Governments into a unified tax structure. However, given the recent introduction of the GST in India, there
is no established practice regarding the implementation of, and compliance with, GST. Our business and
financial performance could be adversely affected by any unexpected or onerous requirements or
regulations resulting from the introduction of GST or any changes in laws or interpretation of existing
laws, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations relating to GST, as it is implemented.
The Government has enacted the GAAR which have come into effect from April 1, 2017. The tax
consequences of the GAAR provisions being applied to an arrangement could result in denial of tax benefit
amongst other consequences. In the absence of any precedents on the subject, the application of these
provisions is uncertain. If the GAAR provisions are made applicable to our Company, it may have an
adverse tax impact on us.
Unfavourable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and
regulations including foreign investment and stamp duty laws governing our business and operations could
result in us being deemed to be in contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for additional
approvals. For example, in certain instances, the municipal or local authorities from time to time in the past
have demolished construction or alleged unauthorized construction in the properties that our customers had
given to us as collateral while availing home loans from us. We may incur increased costs and other
burdens relating to compliance with such new requirements, which may also require significant
management time and other resources, and any failure to comply may adversely affect our business, results
of operations and prospects. Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any
amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy, including by reason of an absence, or a
limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to
resolve and may impact the viability of our current businesses or restrict our ability to grow our businesses
in the future.
55. Rights of shareholders under Indian laws may be more limited than under the laws of other
jurisdictions.
Indian legal principles related to corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties and liabilities, and
shareholders’ rights may differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction.
Shareholders’ rights including in relation to class actions, under Indian law may not be as extensive as
shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions. Investors may have more difficulty
in asserting their rights as shareholder in an Indian company than as shareholder of a corporation in another
jurisdiction.
56. The growth rate of India’s housing finance industry may not be sustainable.
We expect the housing finance industry in India to continue to grow as a result of anticipated growth in
India’s economy, increases in household income and demographic changes. In addition, the Government of
India is pursuing various social welfare schemes and initiatives to create an enabling and supportive
environment to both enhance the flow of credit to the housing sector and increase home ownership in India.
Various Central Government policies and initiatives such as “Smart Cities” and the “Pradhan Mantri Awas
Yojana” or the “Housing for all by 2022” scheme have reinforced the primacy of the housing sector and
the need to provide housing to all and are expected to promote affordable housing through partnerships
with private sector entities. However, it is not clear how certain trends and events, such as the pace of
India’s economic growth, the development of domestic capital markets and the on-going reform will affect
India’s housing finance industry. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Government policies and
initiatives for the housing finance industry will continue at the same or expected pace in the future.
Consequently, there can be no assurance that the growth and development of India’s housing finance
industry will be sustainable.
57. The Equity Shares have never been publicly traded, and, after the Offer, the Equity Shares may
experience price and volume fluctuations, and an active trading market for the Equity Shares may not
develop. Further, the price of the Equity Shares may be volatile, and you may be unable to resell the
Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price, or at all.
38
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for the Equity Shares, and an active trading market on
the Stock Exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing and quotation does not
guarantee that a market for the Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the liquidity of such market for
the Equity Shares will sustain. The Offer Price of the Equity Shares is proposed to be determined through a
book-building process and may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares at the time of
commencement of trading of the Equity Shares or at any time thereafter. The market price of the Equity
Shares may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors, variations in the
operating results of our Company, market conditions specific to the industry we operate in, developments
relating to India, volatility in securities markets in jurisdictions other than India, variations in the growth
rate of financial indicators, variations in revenue or earnings estimates by research publications, and
changes in economic, legal and other regulatory factors.
58. Fluctuation in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies may have an
adverse effect on the value of our Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.
On listing, our Equity Shares will be quoted in Indian Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any dividends in
respect of our Equity Shares will also be paid in Indian Rupees and may be subsequently converted into the
relevant foreign currency for repatriation, if required. Any adverse movement in currency exchange rates
during the time that it takes to undertake such conversion may reduce the net dividend to foreign investors.
In addition, any adverse movement in currency exchange rates during a delay in repatriating outside India
the proceeds from a sale of Equity Shares, for example, because of a delay in regulatory approvals that
may be required for the sale of Equity Shares may reduce the proceeds received by Equity Shareholders.
For example, the exchange rate between the Rupee and the U.S. dollar has fluctuated substantially in recent
years and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future, which may have an adverse effect on the
trading price of our Equity Shares and returns on our Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.
59. The Offer Price of the Equity Shares may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares
after the Offer.
The Offer Price of the Equity Shares has been determined by our Company and the Selling Shareholders in
consultation with the GCBRLMs and BRLM, and through the Book Building Process. This price has been
based on numerous factors, as described under “Basis for Offer Price” on page 109 and may not be
indicative of the market price for the Equity Shares after the Offer. The market price of the Equity Shares
could be subject to fluctuations after the Offer, and may decline below the Offer Price. We cannot assure
you that you will be able to resell your Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price.
60. Any future issuance of Equity Shares by us or any sale, pledge, encumbrance of their Equity Shares by
our Promoters in the future may affect your shareholding and adversely affect the trading price of the
Equity Shares.
Any future issuance of the Equity Shares by us, including through exercise of employee stock options may
dilute your shareholding in our Company, adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares and our
ability to raise capital through an issue of our securities. In addition, any perception by investors that such
issuances or sales might occur could also affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. We cannot assure
you that we will not issue additional Equity Shares. The disposal of Equity Shares by any of our
Promoters, or the perception that such sales may occur may significantly affect the trading price of the
Equity Shares. Except as disclosed in “Capital Structure” on page 84, we cannot assure you that our
Promoters will not dispose of, pledge or encumber their Equity Shares in the future.
61. Holders of Equity Shares may be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian
law and thereby suffer future dilution of their ownership position.
Under the Companies Act, 2013 a company incorporated in India must offer its equity shareholders pre-
emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of equity shares to maintain their existing
ownership percentages prior to issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights have been
waived by the adoption of a special resolution by holders of three-fourths of the equity shares voting on
such resolution. However, if the law of the jurisdiction that you are in does not permit the exercise of such
pre-emptive rights without our filing an offering document or registration statement with the applicable
authority in such jurisdiction, you will be unable to exercise such pre-emptive rights, unless we make such
a filing. If we elect not to file a registration statement, the new securities may be issued to a custodian, who
may sell the securities for your benefit. The value such custodian receives on the sale of any such securities
39
and the related transaction costs cannot be predicted. To the extent that you are unable to exercise pre-
emptive rights granted in respect of our Equity Shares, your proportional interests in our Company may be
reduced.
62. QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of
quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid.
Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to
withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after
submitting a Bid. Retail Individual Investors can revise their Bids during the Bid/ Offer Period and
withdraw their Bids until Bid/Offer Closing Date. While our Company is required to complete Allotment
pursuant to the Offer within six Working Days from the Bid/Offer Closing Date, events affecting the
Bidders’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares, including material adverse changes in international or
national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business, results of operation or
financial condition may arise between the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment. Our Company may
complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares even if such events occur, and such events limit the Bidders’
ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Offer or cause the trading price of the Equity
Shares to decline on listing.
63. You may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of our Equity Shares.
Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity
shares is generally taxable in India. Any gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares on or before March
31, 2018, on a stock exchange held for more than 12 months will not be subject to long term capital gains
tax in India if securities transaction tax, or STT, has been paid on the sale transaction and additionally, as
stipulated by the Finance Act, 2017, STT had been paid at the time of acquisition of such equity shares on
or before October 1, 2004, except in the case of such acquisitions of such equity shares which are not
subject to STT, as notified by the Central Government under notification no. 43/2017/F. No.
370142/09/2017-TPL on June 5, 2017. However, the Finance Act, 2018, has now levied taxes on such long
term capital gains arising from sale of equity shares on or after April 1, 2018. However, where specified
conditions are met, such long term capital gains are only taxed to the extent they exceed ₹ 100,000 and
unrealised capital gains earned up to January 31, 2018 continue to be exempt.
Further, any gain realized on the sale of our Equity Shares held for a period of 12 months or less will be
subject to short term capital gains tax in India. Capital gains arising from the sale of the Equity Shares will
be exempt from taxation in India in cases where the exemption from taxation in India is provided under a
treaty between India and the country of which the seller is a resident. Generally, Indian tax treaties do not
limit India’s ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of other countries may be liable
for tax in India as well as in their own jurisdiction on a gain upon the sale of Equity Shares. Accordingly,
you may be subject to payment of long term capital gains tax in India, in addition to the payment of STT,
on the sale of Equity Shares held for more than 12 months. STT will be levied on and collected by a
domestic stock exchange on which our Equity Shares are sold.
64. Government regulation of foreign ownership of Indian securities may have an adverse effect on the
price of our Equity Shares.
Foreign ownership of Indian securities is subject to Government regulation. In accordance with foreign
exchange regulations currently in effect in India, under certain circumstances the RBI must approve the
sale of the Equity Shares from a non-resident of India to a resident of India or vice-versa if the sale does
not meet certain requirements specified by the RBI. Additionally, any person who seeks to convert the
Rupee proceeds from any such sale into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India is
required to obtain a no-objection or a tax clearance certificate from the Indian income tax authorities. As
provided in the foreign exchange controls currently in effect in India, the RBI has provided that the price at
which the Equity Shares are transferred be calculated in accordance with internationally accepted pricing
methodology for the valuation of shares at an arm’s length basis, and a higher (or lower, as applicable)

India remains one of the drivers of world growth, in an improving global economic environment. According to
data released by the International Monetary Fund in April 2018, the world economy grew by 3.2% and 3.8% in
2016 and 2017, respectively. Despite a slowdown in the pace of growth, the Indian economy expanded by 7.1%
and 6.7% in 2016 and 2017, respectively. This makes India one of the fastest growing large economies in the
world, along with China.
The following table sets forth global GDP growth and forecasts:
* For India, data and forecasts are presented on a fiscal year basis i.e. 2013 refers to 2013-14 or FY2014. Data for other countries
calculated on a calendar year basis.
India’s growth rate is expected to increase due to strong private consumption, the diminishing effects of
demonetization and the transition to GST. India’s growth is also expected to rise gradually over the medium-
term, with the continued implementation of structural reforms that increase productivity and incentivise private
sector investments. A broad-based recovery has occurred over the last two quarters, led by the rural and urban
segments for the reasons aforestated as well as due to near-normal monsoon conditions and staggered pay
revisions.
The India Meteorological Department recently released its second stage forecast, predicting that the volume of
rainfall in the upcoming southwest monsoon season (June to September) would be 97% of the long period
average, with an error range of approximately 4%. The actual outturn of the upcoming southwest monsoon will
be vital for replenishing reservoir and ground water levels, and supporting timely sowing and eventual yields.
Agricultural GVA is expected to grow by 3 to 3.5% in Fiscal 2019, if the temporal and spatial distribution of the
monsoon is normal, and is expected to lend support to rural consumption and the housing demand.
42
The Fiscal 2019 Union Budget has emphasised agriculture and the Government’s endeavour to double the
farmer’s income by Fiscal 2022. The Government has proposed to have a structure in consultation with the Niti
Aayog and the state governments to ensure that farmers get a minimum selling price (“MSP”). The MSP for
kharif crops is proposed to be fixed at 1.5 times the cost of production, aimed at boosting farmer income.
Further, to ensure the adequate and timely availability of farm credit, the target for agriculture credit has been
raised by 10%. The Union Budget has also focussed on improving farm productivity of severely under-irrigated
districts and improving access to markets.
Further, the benefits of the pay revision for state government employees are likely to continue in Fiscal 2019.
Out of the nine states that had not revised pay scales by Fiscal 2018, three states have already announced that
they would undertake pay revision in Fiscal 2019. These benefits are expected to continue to boost demand for
affordable housing.
Moreover, the benefits of the GST are likely to become more broad-based in Fiscal 2019, with a shift from
informal businesses to formal and organised players. An improvement in compliance after the introduction of
the electronic way bill is likely to boost government revenues, and may create the opportunity for a downward
revision in GST rates on various items.
A rise in government spending, at the central and state level, is expected to increase economic activity and the
creation of infrastructure. A normally distributed monsoon, an increase in MSPs for various crops and staggered
pay revisions by some state governments are expected to support consumption growth and investments in
housing. This is expected to support capacity utilisation in various sectors, although a broad-based capacity
addition by the private sector may not emerge until the second half of Fiscal 2019. The adequate recapitalisation
of the public sectors banks (“PSBs”) would be critical in supporting lending growth and investment revival in
the economy. The depreciation of the Indian Rupee makes trade wars a risk; however, it is expected to support
export growth. Moreover, high crude oil prices are expected to affect earnings across various sectors.
Over the medium term, India is expected to retain its position as one of the fastest growing large economies, led
by continued growth in private consumption and revival in investment. Recent government initiatives to
improve farm productivity, higher MSPs and investments in irrigation and logistics, are expected to help
agriculture grow at a robust rate, thus increasing rural wages and rural consumption. Demographic changes,
urbanisation and job growth would support urban consumption. In addition, steps by the government to hasten
the resolution of banks’ non-performing loans and bank recapitalisation may allow them to raise their lending
volumes, thus creating a favourable environment for boosting private investment. Moreover, the transition to the
GST would mitigate supply-side bottlenecks and boost government revenues over the medium-term, creating
fiscal space for stepped-up government investment in infrastructure.
Based on such factors, India’s real GDP growth rate is expected to average approximately 7.0 to 7.5% over the
next five years. With inflation expected to remain around the medium-term target of 4.0%, India’s nominal GDP
is likely to grow at an annual average rate of 11.0 to 11.5% over the next five years. Annual average population
growth is likely to remain steady at 1.3% over the next five years, in line with the trend in Fiscals 2013 to 2018,
which was lower than the average growth of 1.6% recorded over 2001 to 2011. As a result, the per capita
national disposable income is expected to rise by approximately 10% per year over the next five years.
As per the Report of the Household Finance Committee, published by RBI in July 2017, the average Indian
household holds 78% of its total assets in real estate which is significantly higher than other countries such as
US (44%) and Germany (37%) where households hold substantially more financial assets than their Indian
counter parts indicating the tendency of Indian households to own houses.

Despite the high ownership rates of houses, there is a significant housing shortage in India. The overall housing
shortage is due to changing social and demographic patterns in India, such as rising urbanisation and the
nuclearization of families. For the twelfth plan period (2012 to 2017), shortage of housing units in India has
been estimated to be 18.8 million and 43.7 million in urban areas and rural areas, respectively.

The share of mortgage liabilities is low, reflected in the low mortgage penetration levels in India. Low mortgage
finance penetration in India has primarily occurred due to housing finance being offered largely to individuals
45
with reported incomes, therefore creating a lack of access to finance for a large proportion of individuals
working as self-employed or in the informal sector.

India’s credit to GDP ratio was approximately 56.8% in September 2017, which is lower than most peer
emerging and large economies and it is lower than the global average of approximately 153%. India’s credit to
GDP ratio declined from 61.7% in March 2014 to 56.8% in September 2017. Indian household participation in
the financial markets for investments or for borrowings has been lower than other emerging or developed
economies.
Approximately 78% of the total assets of Indian households are in real estate. However, mortgage liabilities are
approximately 23% of the total liabilities as compared to 60% in other large economies; although, the share of
real estate in household assets ranges from 40 to 60% in these economies. Indian households have a high share
of unsecured debt, about 56% of the total liabilities, indicating high reliance on informal or non-institutional
credit.

Independent housing
Indians traditionally prefer to live in independent houses. However, the increasing population density especially
in urban areas, has increased the demand for flats. As of 2001, 74.4% Indians were living in independent houses
and 10.2% were residing in apartments.
The affordable housing segment has historically been underserved by organized real estate developers on
account of concerns on pricing flexibility and margins in such projects and limited credit availability for end
customers. To address these issues, the Government has announced various programs and incentives for the
promotion of the affordable housing segment. The key measures taken include providing infrastructure status for
the affordable housing segment, relaxation of criteria for eligibility for tax exemption for developers under
Section 80IBA and increased allocation for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (“PMAY”) program. Tax
exemptions are expected to incentivize many developers in the organized sector to enter the affordable housing
segment.
The measures announced by the Government may encourage increased investments in this sector that can enable
such developers to increase their operations. Many of the larger developers who traditionally focused on mid to
48
premium segment projects have also announced their intent to enter this segment.
The Government launched the ‘Housing for All’ mission under PMAY in June, 2015. The mission attempts to
address the supply and demand constraints that had affected growth of the sector in the past. As a supply side
intervention, the Government proposes to encourage public-private partnerships in building homes for the
economically weaker sections and the low income groups by offering incentives such as allowing a higher floor
space index (“FSI”) and through announcing grants and subsidies for slum redevelopment programs. On the
demand side, the Government proposed a credit-linked subsidy capital, which could be as high as 44% (₹
267,000) for a loan of up to ₹ 600,000. On December 31, 2016, two new middle income categories were
introduced under the scheme, loans of up to ₹ 900,000 and ₹ 1,200,000 with subvention of 4% and 3%,
respectively. The income eligibility criteria for the two categories are overall household incomes of ₹ 1,200,000
and ₹ 1,800,000, respectively.
The following table sets forth the highlights of the Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme:

The categories listed above are expected to improve affordability for a wider set of borrowers leading to
increased growth potential in the affordable housing segment. However, the success of this action would hinge
on the availability of supply of such houses. Initiatives taken by state governments and urban local bodies to
provide land to keep the prices affordable while ensuring adequate returns for the developers would be critical to
ensure adequate supply of low-cost housing. Further, higher allocations in the Union Budget for Fiscal 2018,
infrastructure status awarded to the affordable housing segment are expected to support supply creation. As for
the progress of PMAY, the pace has started to increase with 2.9 million houses sanctioned from the
Government. The pace is expected to increase further with an increase in the number of houses sanctioned and
beneficiaries of the subsidy.
The Union Budget for Fiscal 2018 has maintained its focus on the agenda for ‘Housing for All’ by 2022. This
would support the continuing supply and demand growth in the affordable housing segment.

The progress of PMAY - Urban
Though the progress of scheme implementation has been limited so far, the pace of implementation has
increased and approximately four million houses have been sanctioned across various states. In addition, an
amount of ₹ 124.11 billion has been released under the PMAY-Urban scheme up to March 5, 2018. The pace is
expected to increase in Fiscal 2019 with an increase in the number of houses sanctioned and the beneficiaries of
the subsidy. The top five performing states in CLSS are Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh and
West Bengal.

This scheme, targeted at the rural population who currently do not own permanent homes, provides an
assistance of ₹ 70,000 to ₹ 120,000 per beneficiary in the plains and ₹ 75,000 to ₹ 130,000 in hilly states and
areas that are difficult for the construction of new houses. The cost of financial assistance is to be shared
between the Government and state government in the ratio 60:40 in plain areas and 90:10 for north eastern and
the Himalayan states. From the annual budgetary grant for PMAY - Grameen, 90% of the funds are to be
released to states and union territories for the construction of new houses with the remaining being retained for
administrative expenses and special projects. The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Grameen also includes a home
loan interest subsidy scheme which is operated in a similar manner as the CLSS under Pradhan Mantri Awas
Yojana - Urban.

Home buyers receive tax incentives on home loans for principal and interest payment of home loans. Tax
benefits are available on home loans for principal repayment and the interest paid. Principal repayment qualifies
for tax deduction under section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deduction of up to ₹ 0.2 million for interest
payment on home loans are offered under section 24(b) of the Act. First-time homebuyer can claim additional
tax deductions of up to ₹ 50,000 per Fiscal under section 80EE, if the certain conditions are met. Tax incentives
on home loans for both principal and interest repayment and the subsidy under CLSS for economically weaker
sections, low income groups and middle income groups have improved affordability levels of the borrowers and
first-time buyers and are expected to increase demand.
Regulatory Framework
Low risk weights and standard asset provisioning for individual home loans incentivises lenders to lend to the
segment and reaffirms the regulatory impetus to a segment that has forward and backward linkages to the
economy and has stood resilient to asset quality pressures over cycles.
The following chart sets forth loan-to-value, risk weights and standard assets provisioning norms for individual
housing loans:

Implementation of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (“RERA”), with effect from May 1, 2017
brought about a change in the way the real estate sector operated. It was beset by issues such as delays in
possession and completion of projects, skewed builder-buyer agreement terms favouring the developers,
prevalence of cash in property transactions and existence of many developers who had limited financial and
operational experience in carrying out real estate business. Consequent to many such issues resulting in
declining consumer confidence, overall elevated prices and subdued macro environment, the real estate sector
witnessed a slowdown in demand. The implementation of RERA is expected to improve transparency and
accountability in the sector.
The Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act
The Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Securities Interest Act
(“SARFAESI”), allows lenders to repossess and sell properties when an account turns into a non-performing
asset and borrowers fail to repay their loans. Over time, SARFAESI has proved to be an effective tool in the
lender’s hands and has acted as a deterrent against wilful defaults.
Various amendments were made to SARFAESI in 2015 and 2016 to strengthen the process and include a wider
set of lenders. 41 housing finance companies (“HFC’s) were included under SARFAESI leading to inclusion of
most of the newer HFCs. Further, benefits of SARFAESI have been extended to the listed bond market in India.
Inclusion of debenture trustees appointed in respect of debt securities as secured creditors allows lenders that
don't independently have rights under SARFAESI to benefit from such rights when acting through a debenture
trustee. SARFAESI sets forth the time within which the process is expected to be completed by the District
Magistrate. All these improvements are expected to be favourable from a recovery perspective for HFCs and are
expected to expedite the recovery process in case a borrower turns into an NPA.
The Government set up the Central Registry of Securitization Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest of
India (“CERSAI”) under SARFAESI in April, 2011 to have a central database of all mortgages created by
51
lending institutions. The objective of this registry is to compile and maintain data relating to all transactions
secured by mortgages; all banks and HFCs which fall under the range of SARFAESI are required to register
with CERSAI and submit the data in respect of all properties mortgaged in its favor. The existence of such a
registry would help lenders have better fraud control and mitigate the risk of borrowers raising multiple loans
against the same property.
Demand prospects for the segment have led to a rise in new entrants over the last decade. As of May 20, 2018,
95 HFCs were operational with 10 applications for fresh HFC licenses currently under process by the National
Housing Bank (“NHB”). For the three years ended March, 2018, there have been 28 new entrants into the
markets.
Most new entrants in the past two years have focused on the relatively under-penetrated low-ticket affordable
housing and self-employed segments. While the large players to continue to dominate the mortgage market in
the medium term, smaller HFCs that have been expanding their portfolios over the last few years are expected to
increase their share given their focus on relatively untapped segments.
The following chart sets forth the number of HFCs registered with the NHB:

The borrower segments that HFCs cater to include the prime salaried, self-employed and low-income segments.
Though some of the larger HFCs are competing with banks on the salaried home loan segment, some of the
larger and most of the smaller HFCs target special customer segments such as the self-employed or the
affordable housing segment to optimize their yields and capitalize on the higher growth potential.

Key reasons for the high growth witnessed in the self-employed segment are discussed below.
Potential of high risk-adjusted returns – Yields in this segment are higher when compared to the salaried
segment. Further, a large proportion of properties are self-occupied leading to a low propensity to default.
Underwriting requires skillset – In absence of requisite income proofs, a large portion of the lending under this
segment is based on the assessment of the borrower’s income using various proxies like imputed margin,
average bank balance, assessing borrowers cash flows by visiting their workplace. Therefore, this segment
requires a special skillset which is largely being served by HFCs.
Nevertheless, the segment carries more risks which are listed below.
52
Assessment of income may involve subjectivity -– The assessment of a borrower’s income is a subjective
process using certain proxies. Therefore, there is a risk of overleveraging, the lender may overestimate the
income of the borrower and lend an amount that is higher than warranted.
Self-employed borrowers are more vulnerable to economic cycle – Cash flows of self-employed borrowers, are
more vulnerable to income shocks when compared to salaried borrowers.
External Commercial Borrowings Norms -– RBI’s move to ease the external commercial borrowings (“ECB”)
norms is expected to positively impact HFCs as they will now be able to raise ECBs under Track I, i.e. without
prior approval provided the exposure is completely hedged. This is expected to enable HFCs to diversify their
funding mix and expand the investor base to meet the large funding requirements given the HFCs loan book is
expected to grow at a pace of 20 to 22% over the medium term and a significant part of this growth is expected
to be funded through fresh borrowings. However, the proportion of funds raised through ECB’s will be
dependent on competitiveness of the overall landed cost of these ECBs as compared with the domestic
borrowing rates.
Relaxation in Prudential Norms for Debt Mutual Funds – SEBI, in February, 2017, increased the additional
exposure limits provided for HFCs, in debt-oriented mutual fund schemes from 10 to 15%. The current norms
require debt mutual fund schemes to cap their investments at 25% of the net assets of the scheme in a single
sector except for the financial services sector wherein additional exposure can be taken for the housing finance
segment. With this change in regulation, total exposure cap to the financial services sector (including housing
finance) stands at 40% (exposure to housing finance segment cannot be more than 25%).
Securitisation and Direct Assignment – Sell-down of the retail loan portfolio, either through the securitisation
(assignment of pool of loan receivables to a trust and the trust issuing pass through certificates backed by the
same) route or through the direct assignment (bilateral assignment of pool of loan receivables from the seller or
originator to the buyer) route, is an important and lucrative funding option available to HFCs in India. Other
than the attractive funding cost, such transactions may also support the release of capital for the originator. The
freed-up capital can then be used for achieving a higher managed portfolio growth or be deployed for other
productive uses, thereby enhancing the profitability metrics of the entity.
The direct assignment market saw a growth of approximately 4% to an estimated ₹ 490 billion in Fiscal 2018
from ₹ 470 billion in Fiscal 2017. The demand for both Priority sector lending (“PSL”) and non-PSL assets
remained strong due to slow corporate credit off-takes in the banking industry in Fiscal 2018. This resulted in a
demand from banks (especially PSBs) to acquire retail assets under the direct assignment route to achieve
balance sheet growth. Mortgage loans (both housing loans and loans against property) constituted around 72%
of the overall direct assignment volumes in Fiscal 2018. In the absence of credit enhancement, banks prefer
mortgage loans because of the stable asset quality and low credit risk perceived in this asset class. Originators
also prefer the direct assignment route to save on capital cost and negative carry costs associated with credit
enhancement in securitisation transactions.
Unlike the direct assignment market, the Indian securitisation market has decreased by approximately 20% to ₹
346 billion in Fiscal 2018 from approximately ₹ 430 billion in Fiscal 2017. In line with the trend seen in overall
securitisation volumes, the issuance of mortgage backed securities has also decreased from approximately ₹ 53
billion in Fiscal 2017 to approximately ₹ 23 billion in Fiscal 2018.
However, the share of non-PSL transactions has witnessed an increase due to the widening investor base with
participation from mutual funds, life insurance companies and NBFCs. The increased participation from non-
banking entities is a healthy trend for the securitisation market from a long-term perspective.

The depletion in securitisation volumes was primarily due to investing banks shifting to Priority Sector Lending
Certificates (“PSLC”s) to meet their PSL requirements. The increase in PSLC traded volumes in Fiscal 2018
was ₹ 1.84 trillion compared to traded volumes of ₹ 500 billion in Fiscal 2017. These certificates have been used
by issuing and subscribing banks, thus diminishing their reliance on the securitisation route for meeting PSL
targets.

Overview
We are a retail, affordable housing finance company, primarily serving low and middle income self employed
customers in semi-urban and rural areas in India. A majority of our customers have limited access to formal
banking credit. According to ICRA Report, our Company had the lowest Gross NPAs as of March 31, 2018 and
the second highest growth rate of assets under management for the last three financial years, among affordable
housing finance companies that had assets under management between ₹ 25 billion and ₹ 200 billion.
We offer customers home loans for the purchase or construction of residential properties, and for the extension
and repair of existing housing units. As of June 30, 2018, a majority of the home loans that we disbursed were
for single-unit properties, almost all of which were to be occupied by the borrowers themselves. In addition to
home loans, we offer our customers other mortgage loans including loans against property, which accounted for
24.18% of our Gross Loan Assets as of June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, 61.22% of our Gross Loan Assets
were from customers who belonged to the economically weaker section and low income group, earning less than
₹ 50,000 per month and 36.27% of our Gross Loan Assets were from customers who were new to credit. As of
June 30, 2018, 64.21% of Gross Loan Assets were from self-employed customers. The average sanctioned
amount of our home loans and other mortgage loans was ₹ 0.87 million and ₹ 0.80 million, respectively, on our
Gross Loan Assets, as of June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, our Gross Loan Assets had an average loan-to-
value of 50.33% at the time of the sanctioning of the loan. Since the commencement of our operations in March
2012, we have served more than 62,500 customers.
We have adopted a strategy of contiguous on-ground expansion across regions and as of June 30, 2018, we
conducted our operations through 166 branches covering 95 districts in eight states of which, we have a
significant presence in the four states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. Almost all our
customers are sourced directly by us, and as of June 30, 2018, we employed 1,996 personnel and had 57,049
loan accounts including securitized and assigned cases.
We are a technology driven company and we leverage information technology and data analytics for onboarding
customers, underwriting analysis, loan monitoring, risk management and collection functions. Between Fiscals
2014 and 2018, we invested ₹ 150.45 million in our information technology systems.

refinancing from the National Housing Bank (“NHB”); and subordinated debt borrowings from banks, mutual
funds, insurance companies and other domestic, foreign and multi-lateral financial institutions to meet our
capital requirements. As of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, our Total Borrowings were ₹ 27,217.61 million
and ₹ 25,957.82 million, respectively, and our average cost of borrowings has reduced from 12.28% as of March
31, 2014 to 8.57% as of June 30, 2018. Meanwhile, our long-term credit ratings have improved from CRISIL
BBB+/Stable in August 2012 to CRISIL A+/Stable currently. As of June 30, 2018, the weighted average

Our Company is registered with the NHB as an HFC and we commenced our operations in Jaipur, Rajasthan in
March 2012. Our Company was initially promoted by Au Financiers (India) Limited, (now known as AU Small
Finance Bank Limited (“AuSFB”)), which sold 90.10% of the outstanding equity interest of our Company in
connection with its conversion to a small finance bank, to Lake District Holdings Limited (a subsidiary of
Kedaara Capital I Limited) (“Lake District”), Kedaara Capital Alternative Investment Fund - Kedaara Capital
AIF 1 (“Kedaara AIF-1”), Partners Group ESCL Limited (“ESCL”) and Partners Group Private Equity Master
Fund LLC (“Master Fund”) in June, 2016. The name of our Company was changed from ‘AU Housing Finance
Limited’ to ‘Aavas Financiers Limited’ in March 2017. We are led by a professional management team and our
Key Managerial Personnel held 7.19% of the outstanding equity interest of our Company, as of the date of this
Prospectus.
Strong Distribution Network with Deep Penetration Serving Underserved Customers in Rural and Semi-
Urban Markets
We commenced our operations in March 2012 with a focus on serving low and middle income self employed
customers in the rural and semi-urban markets and are currently present in eight states in India. We commenced
our operations in rural areas and small towns and have followed an approach of targeting geographies with low
credit penetration. Our branches are predominantly located in rural and semi-urban areas and as of June 30,
2018, of our 166 branches, 134 branches were located in towns with a population of less than one million
people. Our understanding of the local characteristics of markets has allowed us to address the unique needs of
our customers and enabled us to penetrate deeper into such markets. We believe that we have successfully
adopted a strategy of on-ground contiguous expansion across regions and as of June 30, 2018, we conducted our
operations in 757 tehsils across 95 districts in eight states. As of the same date, we had a point of presence in
78.69%, 70.67%, 54.90% and 47.95% of the tehsils in the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya
Pradesh, respectively.
A large segment of India’s rural and semi-urban population is currently unserved and underserved by formal
financial institutions. Over the years, we have focused on customers in such markets that offer us significant
growth opportunities and customer loyalty. As of June 30, 2018, 61.22% of our Gross Loan Assets were from
customers who belonged to the economically weaker section and the low income group, earning less than ₹
50,000 per month and 36.27% of our Gross Loan Assets were from customers who were new to credit. As of
June 30, 2018, 64.21% of our Gross Loan Assets were from self-employed customers. According to ICRA, the
housing shortage in rural areas among the economically weaker section was for 39.3 million units constituting
89.93% of the total rural housing shortage, which provides us significant opportunity to scale up our operations.
Catering to self-employed customers requires a special skillset in absence of requisite income proofs as lending
to them, is based on an assessment of their income through various methods, including their cash flows. Self-
employed customers are also more vulnerable to economic cycles and lending to them requires robust
underwriting systems to price the risk appropriately. (Source: ICRA Report) As a result of our expertise,
experience and business model, we believe that we are able to effectively serve such customers and grow our
business. We have also demonstrated an ability to replicate our business model in eight states, while maintaining
our asset quality.
We believe in sourcing our customers directly, and maintaining on-going relationships and contact with them. A
57
majority of our customers are borrowers who have been referred to us by existing or former customers and our
branches act as a single point of contact for them. The personnel at our branches are responsible for sourcing
loans, carrying out preliminary checks on the credit worthiness of a prospective customer, providing assistance
in documentation, disbursing loans and in monitoring repayments and collections. We have implemented an
analytics platform with a pre-defined approval matrix, which expedites the processing of loan applications. Our
credit and sales teams work with lawyers and technical agencies empaneled by us and we believe that effective
coordination between our branch offices and our head office allows us to reduce turn around time for our
customers. We primarily recruit locally, which provides us with a better understanding of customers in those
regions and their specific requirements. We have set up a call center in Jaipur, which is focused on generating
new business and performing customer service and collections functions. This call center operates in English,
Hindi and select regional languages, which helps us better service our customers.
A direct sourcing and collection system enables us to optimally price our offerings and maintain our asset
quality. Our ability to directly control the end-to-end process has helped us reduce average turn-around-time
from 21 days during Fiscal 2014 to 13 days during Fiscal 2018, and we were able to achieve a turn-around-time
of 10 days in 54.22% of the cases during Fiscal 2018. Our end-to-end control of the collections process has
helped us reduce one day past due from 14.51% as of March 31, 2014 to 4.65% as of June 30, 2018, of our
Gross Advances. We believe that maintaining direct contact with our customers helps mitigate underwriting and
default risks, and enables us to provide personalized services resulting in a satisfied customer base, increased
customer connect and loyalty. In our experience, personal contact with customers in rural and semi-urban
markets also encourages repeat business and leads to referrals. Over the years, our growth has primarily been
through the increase in the number of our customers and we continue to maintain a low average loan ticket size.
For instance, during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscal 2018, only 6.63% and 6.90% of our
disbursements were through balance transfer for existing customers of other financial institutions, respectively,
while the rest of our disbursements were for new customers. We have developed strong relationships with our
customers through in-person contact by addressing their financial needs in a timely and requisite manner, our
knowledge of the local markets and our widespread network of branches. Our customer-centric approach has
been one of the key reasons for our growth, profitability and asset quality, and helps us differentiate ourselves
from our competition.
Robust and Comprehensive Credit Assessment, Risk Management and Collections Framework
We have implemented a robust and comprehensive credit assessment, risk management and collections
framework to identify, monitor and manage risks inherent in our operations. As part of our credit policy, we
finance primarily retail customers and do not provide finance to builders, which we believe helps in maintaining
our asset quality. As of June 30, 2018, a majority of the home loans that we disbursed were for single-unit
properties, almost all of which were to be occupied by the borrowers themselves. As of June 30, 2018, our home
loans and other mortgage loans had an average loan-to-value of 51.78% and 45.78%, respectively, at the time of
the sanctioning of the loan, resulting in our Gross Loan Assets having an average loan-to-value of 50.33% at the
time of the sanctioning of the loan. Since the commencement of our operations in March 2012, we have served
more than 62,500 customers. To assist us with our credit assessment and risk management functions, we have
created more than 60 templates of customer profiles through our experience over the years, with risk assessment
measures for each geography in which we operate. We continuously seek to develop and update such profiles in
order to identify and source reliable customers and improve our efficiencies. We also conduct an analysis of the
existing cash flow of a customer’s business to assess their repayment abilities. Our credit team has been set up
as a separate vertical and does not report to our business team across levels. In addition, members of our sales
team are also responsible for monitoring and maintaining our asset quality. As of June 30, 2018, the ratio of the
number of members in our credit team to our sales team was approximately 1:2.5. We have implemented a four
prong system of credit assessment comprising underwriting, legal assessments, technical assessments and a risk
containment unit. For further details, see “Our Business – Credit Approval and Disbursement” on page 157.
We have developed a proprietary pricing grid to price various customer and property related risks such as lack
of credit history, self-employed nature of customers and occupation specific risks. In addition, we periodically
review the repayment track record of other loans taken by our customers to assess the possibility of future
defaults and take preventive measures. We also continuously evaluate whether customers whose loan
applications were rejected by us have obtained loans from other institutions and their repayment track record, in
order to evaluate the robustness of our underwriting systems and processes. Our risk management framework
includes a comprehensive audit mechanism of internal audits performed at a corporate level on a quarterly basis,
annual branch level audits and management audits, which cover specific risk based assignments. We have set up
a Risk Management Committee to review and identify current and emerging risks, develop risk assessment and
58
measurement systems and establish policies, practices and other control mechanisms to manage risks and
develop risk tolerance limits, monitor positions against approved risk tolerance limits and report its findings to
senior management.
We have well established processes and a strong four-tier collections infrastructure comprising tele-calling, field
collection, legal recovery and settlement to help us with loan collections. Our collections team focusses on early
warning signals in accounts that are from one day past due and we have largely localized teams to monitor cases
that show signs of delinquency. We review portfolios on a periodic basis through credit bureau checks, reputed
credit databases and have set up a system of dashboard monitoring of cases by our risk team where members can
review certain information of borrowers, identify areas of concern and initiate prompt action. As of June 30,
2018, our collections team comprised 98 personnel. We have also set up a specialized collections team to
manage cases where collections are overdue for a certain period as well as a separate team to focus on the
resolution of cases through SARFAESI. We believe that our effective credit risk management is reflected in our
portfolio quality indicators such as high repayment rates, one day past dues and low rates of Gross NPAs and
Net NPAs across business and economic cycles. As of June 30, 2018, our Gross NPAs accounted for 0.50% of
our Gross Advances, while our Net NPAs accounted for 0.38% of our Net Advances. For details, see “Selected
Statistical Information” on page 204.
Our treasury department is responsible for our capital requirements and asset liability management, minimizing
the cost of our borrowings, liquidity management and control, diversify fund raising sources, managing interest
rate risk and investing surplus funds in accordance with the criteria set forth in our investment policy. Over the
years, we have secured financing from a variety of sources including term loans and working capital facilities;
proceeds from loans assigned and securitized; proceeds from the issuance of NCDs; refinancing from the NHB;
and subordinated debt borrowings from banks, mutual funds, insurance companies and other domestic and
foreign financial and multi-lateral institutions to meet our capital requirements. We securitize and assign loans
through securitization or direct assignment to banks and financial institutions, which enables us to optimize our
cost of borrowings, funding and liquidity requirements, capital management and asset liability management. We
have increased the number of our lender relationships from 13 as of March 31, 2014 to 36 as of June 30, 2018.
As of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, our Total Borrowings were ₹ 27,217.61 million and ₹ 25,957.82
million and our average cost of borrowing was 8.57% and 8.65%, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, Total
Borrowings comprised 64.07% of loans from banks and loans from financial institution, 14.33% of Non-
convertible debentures, 16.56% of loans from National Housing Bank, 3.67% of unsecured non-convertible
debentures (Subordinate Debt) and 1.37% of short term borrowings from bank. Our average cost of borrowings
has reduced from 12.28% as of March 31, 2014 to 8.57% as of June 30, 2018. Further, as of June 30, 2018,
30.82% of our Total Borrowings and securitization and assignment were at fixed rates of interest, while 69.18%
were at floating rates.
The following chart sets forth our borrowing mix as of June 30, 2018:
We carefully monitor the contractual maturity periods of our assets and liabilities and categorize them on the
basis of the number of years in which they mature. As of June 30, 2018, the weighted average duration of our
Gross Loan Assets was 169.48 months on origination, while the weighted average duration of our outstanding
borrowings and securitization and assignment was 134.15 months. We currently have a favourable asset-liability
position across all categories and a significant majority of our liabilities mature over five years, which we
59
believe assists us in mitigating liquidity and interest rate risks. We believe that we have been able to access cost-
effective debt financing due to our stable credit history, improving credit ratings and conservative risk
management policies.
The following table reflects the improvement in our credit ratings for the periods indicated:
Effective Use of Technology and Analytics to build a Scalable and Efficient Operating Model
We have made significant investments in our information technology systems and implemented automated,
digitized and other technology-enabled platforms and proprietary tools, to strengthen our offerings and derive
greater operational, cost and management efficiencies. Between Fiscals 2014 and 2018, we invested ₹ 150.45
million in our information technology systems and as of June 30, 2018, our IT and data science teams comprised
36 and 6 personnel, respectively. We have consistently monitored our cost-to-income ratio, leveraging
economies-of-scale, increasing manpower productivity with growing disbursements through the enhanced use of
information technology systems, resulting in quicker loan turn around time and reducing transaction costs. Our
information technology systems help us with several functions, including:
Origination: We utilize a mobile application through which almost all our leads are recorded, which
assists us in the monitoring and tracking of leads from an early stage and generating a credit appraisal
memorandum, resulting in lower costs and an increase in productivity. We have developed and
implemented a business information management system to track and monitor the status of loan
documentation and turn around time. We have also developed and implemented an application
scorecard to predict the risk profile of borrowers, including for our first-to-credit customers.
Collections: We have developed a statistical algorithm to predict the probability of default, which helps
us in obtaining early signals of potential defaults and mitigate risks. We conduct real time tracking of
our collections personnel and have provided them with hand held devices to enable them to issue e-
receipts to our customers.
Customer service and retention: We have implemented an online payment gateway on our website to
enable our customers to make online payments. We perform predictive analytics to identify cases of
balance transfer and proactively seek to retain such clients. We have also developed new products and
strategies such as ‘Aavas Plus’, Aavas Refresh’ and ‘Aavas Winback’, which we use in collaboration
with our analytics platform to improve customer satisfaction and retain our customers.
We believe that the adoption of digital service delivery mechanisms enables us to be more efficient, customer
friendly and over time perform more reliable data analytics, resulting in target customer profiling, customized
and tailor-made products to suit the diverse requirements of our customers and improved customer satisfaction.
We are led by qualified and experienced key managerial personnel, who are supported by a capable and
motivated pool of managers and other employees. We believe that our management team has extensive
knowledge and understanding of the housing finance business and the expertise and vision to organically scale
up our business. They also have diverse experience in a range of financial products and functions related to our
business and operations. Our founder, Whole Time Director and CEO, Sushil Kumar Agarwal, has been
60
associated with the financial services industry for the past 17 years. Our co-founder and Chief Financial Officer,
Ghanshyam Rawat, has over 23 years of work experience in finance, fund raising, treasury management, forex
and interest risk management and mergers and acquisitions. Sunku Ram Naresh, our chief business officer, has
experience in mortgages and FMCG distribution. Ashutosh Atre, our chief credit officer, has over 29 years of
work experience in credit management. Our Key Managerial Personnel have made investments in our Company
periodically and held 7.19% of the outstanding equity interest of our Company, as of the date of this Prospectus.
Further, our branch managers have an in-depth understanding of loan products, types of collateral and
businesses of our borrowers.
Our shareholders include marquee investors such as Lake District, Kedaara AIF-1, ESCL and Master Fund and
we believe we have benefited significantly from their vision and leadership, and they along with our senior
management, have been instrumental in formulating and executing the core strategy of our Company.
Our Strategies
Our goal is to grow our loan portfolio, reduce the cost of our borrowings, improve cost efficiency and maintain
our asset quality through following initiatives:
While historically most of our operations were focused in Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh,
we have grown our operations in relatively newer markets such as Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and
Chhattisgarh. We believe that our current operating model is scalable, which will assist us in expanding our
operations with lower incremental costs to drive efficiency and profitability. We intend to continue to expand in
an on-ground contiguous manner, to drive greater and deeper penetration in the eight states in which we operate
and set up an additional 70 branches during Fiscal 2019. Our expansion strategy would continue to grow
contiguously by rolling-out new branches in tehsils with low mortgage penetration levels. When we enter a new
state through contiguous expansion, we would open new branches in district head-quarters and then expand
deeper by deploying personnel to tehsils adjacent to them to source new customers. As of June 30, 2018, we had
reached an approximate tehsil level penetration of 78.69%, 70.67%, 54.90%, 47.95%, 13.51%, 22.22%, 0.96%
and 18.12% in the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh
and Chhattisgarh, respectively, thus providing us the scope to continue to grow our business further in these
states. We intend to achieve a tehsil level penetration of approximately 85% in all the states in which we
operate. We also intend to commence operations in the state of Uttarakhand during Fiscal 2019.
We plan to continue to focus on low and middle income self employed customers and increase the market share
of our existing products in the rural and semi-urban markets of India. A large segment of India’s rural and semi-
urban population is currently unserved or underserved by formal financial institutions comprising customers
without any credit history and we believe that such customer segment offers us significant growth opportunities
and customer loyalty. According to ICRA, the housing shortage in rural areas among the economically weaker
section was for 39.3 million units constituting 89.93% of the total rural housing shortage, and 99.84% of the
urban housing shortage was found among the economically weaker sections and low income groups, which
provides us significant opportunity to scale up our operations. We intend to cross-sell products to our existing
customers and develop long-term relationships with them. Further, we intend to continue to focus on disbursing
loans to underserved low and middle income customers primarily for the purchase and construction of single
unit houses, as part of our risk mitigating strategy. We also intend to increase our fee income through the
distribution of third-party life, general and health insurance products.
We secure funding from a variety of sources to meet our capital requirements. We believe that we have been
able to access cost-effective debt financing and reduced our average cost of borrowings over the years due to
several factors, including our financial performance and improving credit ratings. As we continue to grow the
scale of our operations, we seek to reduce our dependence on expensive term loans from banks and financial
institutions, optimize our cost of funds and continue to improve our credit ratings. A lower average cost of
borrowing enables us to competitively price our loan products and helps us grow our business and operations
and increase our net interest margins. Our average cost of borrowings has reduced from 12.28% as of March 31,
2014 to 8.57% as of June 30, 2018.
61
Further, we intend to continue to increase our lender base which has increased from 13 as of March 31, 2014 to
36 as of June 30, 2018, and seek to obtain funding from insurance, pension and provident funds, overseas
lenders, external commercial borrowings and through the issue of commercial paper.
We also intend to continue to focus on improving our asset and liability management to ensure that we continue
to have a positive asset-liability position. As a result of such initiatives, we believe that we will be able to
continue improving our credit ratings and reduce the cost of our borrowings.
Increase our Product Portfolio and Improve Cost Efficiency through Use of Technology and Data Analytics
We have made significant investments in our information technology systems to improve our cost efficiency and
as we continue to expand our geographic reach and scale of operations, we intend to further improve and
leverage such systems to support our growth and reduce our operational expenditures. Our application
scorecard, use of a mobile application for recording and monitoring leads and geo tagging of properties, and the
use of data analytics, enable us to mitigate risks and improve our operational efficiencies. Our use of technology
will also allow us to continue providing streamlined approval and documentation procedures and reduce
turnaround times and incidence of error. Further, all our branches and our corporate office are linked through a
central data base platform that enhances data management, strengthens service delivery and serves customers in
an efficient manner.
In addition, we have developed certain products and customer retention strategies, which we use in collaboration
with our analytics platform to grow our business. Through our product ‘Aavas Plus’, we offer incremental loans,
with a low turn around time, to existing customers who have been servicing their loans regularly and have low
LTVs. ‘Aavas Refresh’ is a customer retention strategy for customers who regularly service their loans and
whose repayments are reaching completion. ‘Aavas Winback’ targets customers whose loans are either
foreclosed or closed on maturity, or those who did not avail a previously sanctioned loan. Such products and
strategies help us to grow our business, retain good customers and improve realizations.
We believe that as we further develop and integrate technology into our business, we can further capitalize on
the reach of our offices and increase our market share. We believe greater adoption of our digital service
delivery mechanisms will enable us to be more efficient, customer friendly and over time perform more accurate
data analytics, resulting in target customer profiling, cross-selling of products, customized and tailor-made
products to suit the diverse requirements of our customers and improve customer satisfaction.
We believe that having a strong recognizable brand is a key attribute in our business, which helps us attract and
retain customers, increases customer confidence and influences purchase decisions. Having a strong and
recognizable brand has also assisted us in recruiting and retaining employees. We intend to continue to
undertake initiatives to increase the strength and recall of our ‘Aavas’ brand to attract new customers. We seek
to build our brand by engaging with existing and potential customers’ through customer literacy programs,
sponsor popular events in the regions we operate and advertise in newspapers, hoardings, television, radio and in
other advertising media.

The Net Proceeds will be utilised to increase our Company’s Tier I capital base to meet our future capital
requirements which are expected to arise out of growth of our business and assets, primarily our housing loans and
other mortgage loans, and to ensure compliance with the NHB Directions.
We are a housing finance company in India and are registered with the NHB and are a notified financial institution

properties, and for the extension and repair of existing housing units. For further details see “Our Business” on

BASIS FOR OFFER PRICE
The Offer Price has been determined by our Company and the Selling Shareholders, in consultation with the
GCBRLMs and BRLM, on the basis of assessment of market demand for the Equity Shares offered through the
Book Building Process and on the basis of qualitative and quantitative factors as described below. The face
value of the Equity Shares is ₹ 10 and the Offer Price is 81.80 times the face value at the lower end of the Price
Band and 82.10 times the face value at the higher end of the Price Band.
Investors should also refer to “Our Business”, “Risk Factors” and “Financial Statements” on pages 147, 17 and
218, respectively, to have an informed view before making an investment decision.
Qualitative Factors
Some of the qualitative factors which form the basis for the Offer Price are:
Strong distribution network with deep penetration serving underserved customers in rural and semi-urban
markets;
Robust and comprehensive credit assessment, risk management and collections framework;
Effective use of technology and analytics to build a scalable and efficient operating model;
For further details, see “Our Business - Our Competitive Strengths” on page 149.
Quantitative Factors
Certain information presented in this chapter is derived from the Restated Standalone Financial Statements and
Restated Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP and Companies Act, 2013
and restated in accordance with SEBI ICDR Regulations. For more details on financial information, please see
“Financial Statements” on page 218.
Some of the quantitative factors which may form the basis for computing the Offer Price are as follows:
1. Earnings per share calculations are done in accordance with Accounting Standard 20 "Earnings Per Share” issued by ICAI
2. The face value of each equity share is ₹ 10.
3. Basic Earnings per share = Net profit/(loss) after tax, as restated attributable to equity shareholders / Weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period or year
4. Diluted Earnings per share = Net profit after tax, as restated / Weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during
the year adjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential equity shares
109
5. Weighted average number of equity shares is the number of equity shares outstanding at the beginning of the year, adjusted
by the number of equity shares issued during the year multiplied by the time-weighting factor. The time-weighting factor is
the number of days for which the specific shares are outstanding as a proportion of the total number of days during the year.

publications are also prepared based on information as of specific dates and may no longer be current or reflect
current trends.
India remains one of the drivers of world growth, in an improving global economic environment. According to
data released by the International Monetary Fund in April 2018, the world economy grew by 3.2% and 3.8% in
2016 and 2017, respectively. Despite a slowdown in the pace of growth, the Indian economy expanded by 7.1%
and 6.7% in 2016 and 2017, respectively. This makes India one of the fastest growing large economies in the
world, along with China.
The following table sets forth global GDP growth and forecasts:

World 3.2% 3.8% 3.9% 3.9%
Note: Figures for 2018 and 2019 are forecasts.
*
For India, data and forecasts are presented on a fiscal year basis i.e. 2013 refers to 2013-14 or FY2014. Data for other countries
calculated on a calendar year basis.
India’s growth rate is expected to increase due to strong private consumption, the diminishing effects of
demonetization and the transition to GST. India’s growth is also expected to rise gradually over the medium-
term, with the continued implementation of structural reforms that increase productivity and incentivise private
sector investments. A broad-based recovery has occurred over the last two quarters, led by the rural and urban
segments for the reasons aforestated as well as due to near-normal monsoon conditions and staggered pay
revisions.
The India Meteorological Department recently released its second stage forecast, predicting that the volume of
rainfall in the upcoming southwest monsoon season (June to September) would be 97% of the long period
average, with an error range of approximately 4%. The actual outturn of the upcoming southwest monsoon will
be vital for replenishing reservoir and ground water levels, and supporting timely sowing and eventual yields.
Agricultural GVA is expected to grow by 3 to 3.5% in Fiscal 2019, if the temporal and spatial distribution of the
monsoon is normal, and is expected to lend support to rural consumption and the housing demand.
The Fiscal 2019 Union Budget has emphasised agriculture and the Government’s endeavour to double the
farmer’s income by Fiscal 2022. The Government has proposed to have a structure in consultation with the Niti
Aayog and the state governments to ensure that farmers get a minimum selling price (“MSP”). The MSP for
kharif crops is proposed to be fixed at 1.5 times the cost of production, aimed at boosting farmer income.
Further, to ensure the adequate and timely availability of farm credit, the target for agriculture credit has been
raised by 10%. The Union Budget has also focussed on improving farm productivity of severely under-irrigated
districts and improving access to markets.
116
Further, the benefits of the pay revision for state government employees are likely to continue in Fiscal 2019.
Out of the nine states that had not revised pay scales by Fiscal 2018, three states have already announced that
they would undertake pay revision in Fiscal 2019. These benefits are expected to continue to boost demand for
affordable housing.
Moreover, the benefits of the GST are likely to become more broad-based in Fiscal 2019, with a shift from
informal businesses to formal and organised players. An improvement in compliance after the introduction of
the electronic way bill is likely to boost government revenues, and may create the opportunity for a downward
revision in GST rates on various items.
A rise in government spending, at the central and state level, is expected to increase economic activity and the
creation of infrastructure. A normally distributed monsoon, an increase in MSPs for various crops and staggered
pay revisions by some state governments are expected to support consumption growth and investments in
housing. This is expected to support capacity utilisation in various sectors, although a broad-based capacity
addition by the private sector may not emerge until the second half of Fiscal 2019. The adequate recapitalisation
of the public sectors banks (“PSBs”) would be critical in supporting lending growth and investment revival in
the economy. The depreciation of the Indian Rupee makes trade wars a risk; however, it is expected to support
export growth. Moreover, high crude oil prices are expected to affect earnings across various sectors.
Over the medium term, India is expected to retain its position as one of the fastest growing large economies, led
by continued growth in private consumption and revival in investment. Recent government initiatives to
improve farm productivity, higher MSPs and investments in irrigation and logistics, are expected to help
agriculture grow at a robust rate, thus increasing rural wages and rural consumption. Demographic changes,
urbanisation and job growth would support urban consumption. In addition, steps by the government to hasten
the resolution of banks’ non-performing loans and bank recapitalisation may allow them to raise their lending
volumes, thus creating a favourable environment for boosting private investment. Moreover, the transition to the
GST would mitigate supply-side bottlenecks and boost government revenues over the medium-term, creating
fiscal space for stepped-up government investment in infrastructure.
Based on such factors, India’s real GDP growth rate is expected to average approximately 7.0 to 7.5% over the
next five years. With inflation expected to remain around the medium-term target of 4.0%, India’s nominal GDP
is likely to grow at an annual average rate of 11.0 to 11.5% over the next five years. Annual average population
growth is likely to remain steady at 1.3% over the next five years, in line with the trend in Fiscals 2013 to 2018,
which was lower than the average growth of 1.6% recorded over 2001 to 2011. As a result, the per capita
national disposable income is expected to rise by approximately 10% per year over the next five years.
As per the Report of the Household Finance Committee, published by RBI in July 2017, the average Indian
household holds 78% of its total assets in real estate which is significantly higher than other countries such as
US (44%) and Germany (37%) where households hold substantially more financial assets than their Indian
counter parts indicating the tendency of Indian households to own houses.

Despite the high ownership rates of houses, there is a significant housing shortage in India. The overall housing
shortage is due to changing social and demographic patterns in India, such as rising urbanisation and the
nuclearization of families. For the twelfth plan period (2012 to 2017), shortage of housing units in India has
been estimated to be 18.8 million and 43.7 million in urban areas and rural areas, respectively.
The following table sets forth the housing shortage in India:

High Income Group (annual income of ₹ 1,800,001 and higher)
Total 18.8 43.7
Note 1: The rural category in the economically weaker section only covers people living ‘below poverty line’
Approximately, 95.21% of the urban housing shortage occurred among the economically weaker sections and
low income groups. The overall potential market for housing finance in the affordable segment would be ₹ 5.6
trillion to ₹ 12 trillion in the urban segment, the potential is based on the housing shortage, the estimated price
of an average house (₹ 500,000 to ₹ 800,000 per house) and the average housing loan amount at an LTV of 60
to 80%.
In 2011, overall, 41% of the households were living in less than one room homes and 53% of the households
were in good condition, implying a need for home improvement and home extension given the average family
size of 4.8.

The share of mortgage liabilities is low, reflected in the low mortgage penetration levels in India. Low mortgage
119
finance penetration in India has primarily occurred due to housing finance being offered largely to individuals
with reported incomes, therefore creating a lack of access to finance for a large proportion of individuals
working as self-employed or in the informal sector.

India’s credit to GDP ratio was approximately 56.8% in September 2017, which is lower than most peer
emerging and large economies and it is lower than the global average of approximately 153%. India’s credit to
GDP ratio declined from 61.7% in March 2014 to 56.8% in September 2017. Indian household participation in
the financial markets for investments or for borrowings has been lower than other emerging or developed
economies.
Approximately 78% of the total assets of Indian households are in real estate. However, mortgage liabilities are
approximately 23% of the total liabilities as compared to 60% in other large economies; although, the share of
real estate in household assets ranges from 40 to 60% in these economies. Indian households have a high share
of unsecured debt, about 56% of the total liabilities, indicating high reliance on informal or non-institutional
credit.

Independent housing
Indians traditionally prefer to live in independent houses. However, the increasing population density especially
in urban areas, has increased the demand for flats. As of 2001, 74.4% Indians were living in independent houses
and 10.2% were residing in apartments.
The following chart sets forth Indian households by type of structure:
The affordable housing segment has historically been underserved by organized real estate developers on
account of concerns on pricing flexibility and margins in such projects and limited credit availability for end
customers. To address these issues, the Government has announced various programs and incentives for the
promotion of the affordable housing segment. The key measures taken include providing infrastructure status for
the affordable housing segment, relaxation of criteria for eligibility for tax exemption for developers under
Section 80IBA and increased allocation for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (“PMAY”) program. Tax
exemptions are expected to incentivize many developers in the organized sector to enter the affordable housing
segment.
The measures announced by the Government may encourage increased investments in this sector that can enable
such developers to increase their operations. Many of the larger developers who traditionally focused on mid to
premium segment projects have also announced their intent to enter this segment.
The Government launched the ‘Housing for All’ mission under PMAY in June, 2015. The mission attempts to
address the supply and demand constraints that had affected growth of the sector in the past. As a supply side
122
intervention, the Government proposes to encourage public-private partnerships in building homes for the
economically weaker sections and the low income groups by offering incentives such as allowing a higher floor
space index (“FSI”) and through announcing grants and subsidies for slum redevelopment programs. On the
demand side, the Government proposed a credit-linked subsidy capital, which could be as high as 44% (₹
267,000) for a loan of up to ₹ 600,000. On December 31, 2016, two new middle income categories were
introduced under the scheme, loans of up to ₹ 900,000 and ₹ 1,200,000 with subvention of 4% and 3%,
respectively. The income eligibility criteria for the two categories are overall household incomes of ₹ 1,200,000
and ₹ 1,800,000, respectively.

The categories listed above are expected to improve affordability for a wider set of borrowers leading to
increased growth potential in the affordable housing segment. However, the success of this action would hinge
on the availability of supply of such houses. Initiatives taken by state governments and urban local bodies to
provide land to keep the prices affordable while ensuring adequate returns for the developers would be critical to
ensure adequate supply of low-cost housing. Further, higher allocations in the Union Budget for Fiscal 2018,
infrastructure status awarded to the affordable housing segment are expected to support supply creation. As for
the progress of PMAY, the pace has started to increase with 2.9 million houses sanctioned from the
Government. The pace is expected to increase further with an increase in the number of houses sanctioned and
beneficiaries of the subsidy.
The Union Budget for Fiscal 2018 has maintained its focus on the agenda for ‘Housing for All’ by 2022. This
would support the continuing supply and demand growth in the affordable housing segment.
Though the progress of scheme implementation has been limited so far, the pace of implementation has
increased and approximately four million houses have been sanctioned across various states. In addition, an
amount of ₹ 124.11 billion has been released under the PMAY-Urban scheme up to March 5, 2018. The pace is
expected to increase in Fiscal 2019 with an increase in the number of houses sanctioned and the beneficiaries of
123
the subsidy. The top five performing states in CLSS are Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh and
West Bengal.

This scheme, targeted at the rural population who currently do not own permanent homes, provides an
assistance of ₹ 70,000 to ₹ 120,000 per beneficiary in the plains and ₹ 75,000 to ₹ 130,000 in hilly states and
areas that are difficult for the construction of new houses. The cost of financial assistance is to be shared
between the Government and state government in the ratio 60:40 in plain areas and 90:10 for north eastern and
the Himalayan states. From the annual budgetary grant for PMAY - Grameen, 90% of the funds are to be
released to states and union territories for the construction of new houses with the remaining being retained for
administrative expenses and special projects. The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Grameen also includes a home
loan interest subsidy scheme which is operated in a similar manner as the CLSS under Pradhan Mantri Awas
Yojana - Urban.

Home buyers receive tax incentives on home loans for principal and interest payment of home loans. Tax
124
benefits are available on home loans for principal repayment and the interest paid. Principal repayment qualifies
for tax deduction under section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deduction of up to ₹ 0.2 million for interest
payment on home loans are offered under section 24(b) of the Act. First-time homebuyer can claim additional
tax deductions of up to ₹ 50,000 per Fiscal under section 80EE, if the certain conditions are met. Tax incentives
on home loans for both principal and interest repayment and the subsidy under CLSS for economically weaker
sections, low income groups and middle income groups have improved affordability levels of the borrowers and
first-time buyers and are expected to increase demand.
Regulatory Framework
Low risk weights and standard asset provisioning for individual home loans incentivises lenders to lend to the
segment and reaffirms the regulatory impetus to a segment that has forward and backward linkages to the
economy and has stood resilient to asset quality pressures over cycles.
The following chart sets forth loan-to-value, risk weights and standard assets provisioning norms for individual
housing loans:

Implementation of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (“RERA”), with effect from May 1, 2017
brought about a change in the way the real estate sector operated. It was beset by issues such as delays in
possession and completion of projects, skewed builder-buyer agreement terms favouring the developers,
prevalence of cash in property transactions and existence of many developers who had limited financial and
operational experience in carrying out real estate business. Consequent to many such issues resulting in
declining consumer confidence, overall elevated prices and subdued macro environment, the real estate sector
witnessed a slowdown in demand. The implementation of RERA is expected to improve transparency and
accountability in the sector.
The Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act
The Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Securities Interest Act
(“SARFAESI”), allows lenders to repossess and sell properties when an account turns into a non-performing
asset and borrowers fail to repay their loans. Over time, SARFAESI has proved to be an effective tool in the
lender’s hands and has acted as a deterrent against wilful defaults.
Various amendments were made to SARFAESI in 2015 and 2016 to strengthen the process and include a wider
set of lenders. 41 housing finance companies (“HFC’s) were included under SARFAESI leading to inclusion of
most of the newer HFCs. Further, benefits of SARFAESI have been extended to the listed bond market in India.
Inclusion of debenture trustees appointed in respect of debt securities as secured creditors allows lenders that
don't independently have rights under SARFAESI to benefit from such rights when acting through a debenture
trustee. SARFAESI sets forth the time within which the process is expected to be completed by the District
Magistrate. All these improvements are expected to be favourable from a recovery perspective for HFCs and are
expected to expedite the recovery process in case a borrower turns into an NPA.
The Government set up the Central Registry of Securitization Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest of
India (“CERSAI”) under SARFAESI in April, 2011 to have a central database of all mortgages created by
lending institutions. The objective of this registry is to compile and maintain data relating to all transactions
secured by mortgages; all banks and HFCs which fall under the range of SARFAESI are required to register
with CERSAI and submit the data in respect of all properties mortgaged in its favor. The existence of such a
registry would help lenders have better fraud control and mitigate the risk of borrowers raising multiple loans
against the same property.

Industry Dynamics for Housing Finance
Demand prospects for the segment have led to a rise in new entrants over the last decade. As of May 20, 2018,
95 HFCs were operational with 10 applications for fresh HFC licenses currently under process by the National
Housing Bank (“NHB”). For the three years ended March, 2018, there have been 28 new entrants into the
markets. Most new entrants in the past two years have focused on the relatively under-penetrated low-ticket
affordable housing and self-employed segments. While the large players to continue to dominate the mortgage
market in the medium term, smaller HFCs that have been expanding their portfolios over the last few years are
expected to increase their share given their focus on relatively untapped segments.
The following chart sets forth the number of HFCs registered with the NHB:

The borrower segments that HFCs cater to include the prime salaried, self-employed and low-income segments.
Though some of the larger HFCs are competing with banks on the salaried home loan segment, some of the

affordable housing segment to optimize their yields and capitalize on the higher growth potential.

Key reasons for the high growth witnessed in the self-employed segment are discussed below.
Potential of high risk-adjusted returns – Yields in this segment are higher when compared to the salaried
segment. Further, a large proportion of properties are self-occupied leading to a low propensity to default.
Underwriting requires skillset – In absence of requisite income proofs, a large portion of the lending under this
segment is based on the assessment of the borrower’s income using various proxies like imputed margin,
average bank balance, assessing borrowers cash flows by visiting their workplace. Therefore, this segment
requires a special skillset which is largely being served by HFCs.
Nevertheless, the segment carries more risks which are listed below.
Assessment of income may involve subjectivity -– The assessment of a borrower’s income is a subjective
process using certain proxies. Therefore, there is a risk of overleveraging, the lender may overestimate the
income of the borrower and lend an amount that is higher than warranted.
Self-employed borrowers are more vulnerable to economic cycle – Cash flows of self-employed borrowers, are
more vulnerable to income shocks when compared to salaried borrowers.
126
External Commercial Borrowings Norms -– RBI’s move to ease the external commercial borrowings (“ECB”)
norms is expected to positively impact HFCs as they will now be able to raise ECBs under Track I, i.e. without
prior approval provided the exposure is completely hedged. This is expected to enable HFCs to diversify their
funding mix and expand the investor base to meet the large funding requirements given the HFCs loan book is
expected to grow at a pace of 20 to 22% over the medium term and a significant part of this growth is expected
to be funded through fresh borrowings. However, the proportion of funds raised through ECB’s will be
dependent on competitiveness of the overall landed cost of these ECBs as compared with the domestic
borrowing rates.
Relaxation in Prudential Norms for Debt Mutual Funds – SEBI, in February, 2017, increased the additional
exposure limits provided for HFCs, in debt-oriented mutual fund schemes from 10 to 15%. The current norms
require debt mutual fund schemes to cap their investments at 25% of the net assets of the scheme in a single
sector except for the financial services sector wherein additional exposure can be taken for the housing finance
segment. With this change in regulation, total exposure cap to the financial services sector (including housing
finance) stands at 40% (exposure to housing finance segment cannot be more than 25%).
Securitisation and Direct Assignment – Sell-down of the retail loan portfolio, either through the securitisation
(assignment of pool of loan receivables to a trust and the trust issuing pass through certificates backed by the
same) route or through the direct assignment (bilateral assignment of pool of loan receivables from the seller or
originator to the buyer) route, is an important and lucrative funding option available to HFCs in India. Other
than the attractive funding cost, such transactions may also support the release of capital for the originator. The
freed-up capital can then be used for achieving a higher managed portfolio growth or be deployed for other
productive uses, thereby enhancing the profitability metrics of the entity.
The direct assignment market saw a growth of approximately 4% to an estimated ₹ 490 billion in Fiscal 2018
from ₹ 470 billion in Fiscal 2017. The demand for both Priority sector lending (“PSL”) and non-PSL assets
remained strong due to slow corporate credit off-takes in the banking industry in Fiscal 2018. This resulted in a
demand from banks (especially PSBs) to acquire retail assets under the direct assignment route to achieve
balance sheet growth. Mortgage loans (both housing loans and loans against property) constituted around 72%
of the overall direct assignment volumes in Fiscal 2018. In the absence of credit enhancement, banks prefer
mortgage loans because of the stable asset quality and low credit risk perceived in this asset class. Originators
also prefer the direct assignment route to save on capital cost and negative carry costs associated with credit
enhancement in securitisation transactions.
Unlike the direct assignment market, the Indian securitisation market has decreased by approximately 20% to ₹
346 billion in Fiscal 2018 from approximately ₹ 430 billion in Fiscal 2017. In line with the trend seen in overall
securitisation volumes, the issuance of mortgage backed securities has also decreased from approximately ₹ 53
billion in Fiscal 2017 to approximately ₹ 23 billion in Fiscal 2018.
However, the share of non-PSL transactions has witnessed an increase due to the widening investor base with
participation from mutual funds, life insurance companies and NBFCs. The increased participation from non-
banking entities is a healthy trend for the securitisation market from a long-term perspective.

The depletion in securitisation volumes was primarily due to investing banks shifting to Priority Sector Lending
Certificates (“PSLC”s) to meet their PSL requirements. The increase in PSLC traded volumes in Fiscal 2018
was ₹ 1.84 trillion compared to traded volumes of ₹ 500 billion in Fiscal 2017. These certificates have been used
by issuing and subscribing banks, thus diminishing their reliance on the securitisation route for meeting PSL
targets.
Market Size
The total housing credit outstanding was approximately ₹ 16.7 trillion as of March 31, 2018 (₹ 14.4 trillion as of
March 31, 2017). The Indian housing finance market has grown at a five year CAGR of 18% with the pace of
growth of HFCs and NBFC’s being higher at a five year CAGR of 20% as compared to a five year CAGR of
16% for banks. Over the last five years (Fiscals 2013 to 2018), the housing credit growth has remained steady
despite a tough operating environment, subdued real estate demand and low affordability levels. This could be
attributed to construction linked housing loans (and thus disbursements being linked to construction stages),
secondary sales and low mortgage penetration in India.
Over the last seven years, HFCs have been gaining market share due to their focus on niche segments such as
self-employed and affordable housing segments, which have been largely served by HFCs and have a higher
growth potential. While housing credit growth was lower than the five year CAGR of 18% in Fiscals 2017 and
2018, due to demonetisation, some disruptions caused by GST implementation and the RERA, long term growth
outlook for the housing finance segment remains positive with higher growth expected over the medium term.

Note: This data pertains to only individual home loans and does not include other loans such as builder loans
and loans against property.
The share of HFCs in overall housing loan disbursements has been approximately 50% of the overall industry
disbursements. HFCs and NBFCs are expected to benefit from their focus on the housing finance market, their
focus on the relatively high growth segments like the affordable housing and self-employed customers segments
and their comparatively better service levels. Banks will nevertheless have a sizeable share of the market, given
their competitive interest rates, extensive branch network and customer base, access to stable low-cost funds and
their requirement to meet priority sector lending targets.
Overall, HFCs disbursements in the loans against property (“LAP”) segment are rising and their share in overall
market disbursements has increased to 36% for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2018.

Overall, the share of loans (less than ₹ 2.5 million) decreased from 41% as on March 31, 2015 to 38% as on
March 31, 2018. The trend has been the reversed for HFCs, where the share of these loans increased from 33.5%
as on March 31, 2015 to 39.8% as on March 31, 2018.
The following table sets forth the share of disbursements for HFCs and Banks:
As on March 2018, approximately 61% of the market portfolio was concentrated in the ₹ 1 million to ₹ 5 million
segment, with only 14% of the portfolio in the sub ₹ 1 million category.
The following table sets forth ticket size wise share of the home loan portfolio:
The various borrower profiles, which an HFC typically caters to, are the prime salaried segment, self-employed
segment and low-income segment. HFCs compete with banks in the housing finance space. Though some of the
larger HFCs are focussed on the salaried home loan segment, most of the other HFCs target special customer
segments such as the self-employed segment or affordable housing segment to optimise their yields and
capitalize on higher growth potential. Further, within the home loan segment these could be for under
construction builder apartments, for self-construction, home improvements and extensions. The underlying
collateral risk also varies across these product segments. For home loans taken under construction builder
apartments, the title related risks would be lower. However, the borrowers would have to undertake the risk of
129
untimely project completion, delays in which could lead to an increase in the underlying cost of the home.
Further, if the underlying collateral is not in municipal limits, it may fall under the gram panchayat jurisdiction.
HFCs reported an overall portfolio growth of 24% in Fiscal 2018 supported by a higher 29% year-on-year
growth in the non-housing loan segment. The home loan portfolio grew by 21%. Though HFCs would continue
to face competition from banks given their relatively lower cost of funds and nil prepayment penalties that could
encourage loan transfers, HFC home loan growth in Fiscal 2019 is expected to be around 20 to 22%, and non-
housing loan growth to be higher at 22 to 26%, leading to overall portfolio growth of HFC of 21 to 23% in
Fiscal 2019.

The following table sets forth the categorization of HFCs used for consolidation purposes:
Small HFCs and the ‘Affordable New’ categories have been growing at a faster pace than the overall HFC
130
growth, largely supported by their focus on relatively untapped segments which offer growth potential. Before
2012, affordable housing was largely being served by a few lenders, such as Gruh, DHFL and Repco. However,
new players have emerged in the housing finance space focusing primarily on the affordable housing segment.
While banks are also present in the smaller ticket home loan market, their lending to the economically weaker
section and low-income groups and borrowers without any formal income proofs is limited. These specialized
HFCs are trying to tap into this underserved market segment.
While the growth for large HFCs is expected to be in the range of 20 to 22%, the ‘Affordable New’ category is
expected to grow at a faster pace of 30 to 35% over the next three years, supported by improved affordability,
the expansion of the target segment and an increase in supply due to various growth drivers already mentioned.

however, recently the larger HFCs have also setup dedicated verticals focused on the affordable housing
segment. While banks are also present in the smaller ticket home loans market, their lending to the economically
weaker section and low-income groups and borrowers without any formal income proofs is limited. These
specialized HFCs are entering an underserved market segment. Property cost in this segment is usually below ₹
2 million and borrowers have relatively low incomes and are usually without any formal income proofs. Within
the affordable housing segment, the new entrants have been growing at a CAGR of 68% over last three fiscal
year supported by improvements in supplies, access to funding (equity and debt) and affordability for borrowers
due to the subsidy received under CLSS.

On November 8, 2016, the Government announced its decision to cancel the legal tender character of high
denomination bank notes of ₹ 500 and ₹ 1,000 issued by the RBI. There was no material impact on
disbursements in for the third quarter of Fiscal 2017 and volumes grew substantially in the next quarter. The
disbursement volumes which declined in the third quarter of Fiscal 2017 due to demonetisation, increased
subsequently and have seen an upward trend year on year over a quarterly basis since then indicating the
demand that was impacted during the demonetisation period, has subsequently been normalised.

The target borrower profile for these companies are salaried and self-employed individuals without any formal
income proofs such as salary slips and income tax returns. Also, in many cases, the borrowers are not credit
tested and do not have any history in the credit bureaus as well. Thus, the companies rely on their own internal
assessments of borrower cash flows to determine their debt servicing capabilities. The assessment is generally
conducted through a series of personal discussions that the credit manager has with the borrower and his or her
family members. These companies usually have benchmarks for the average earnings per day for various job
works and estimated household expenses which are validated through personal discussions with the borrowers,
their family and their employer, vendor or supplier. The companies try to validate the saving habits of the
borrower through the already created assets of the family, such as electronic items and two-wheelers among
others.
Some of the key growth drivers for affordable housing finance book of various lenders are:
Strong growth opportunities given the large under-penetrated market – HFCs operating in the affordable
housing space are targeting a segment that is not serviced by traditional financing institutions mostly due to a
lack in formal income proofs, which result in a limited visibility of the debt servicing capability of the borrower.
New HFCs have developed in-house models to assess these borrowers, including personal discussions with the
borrower at their places of residence and work place in order to estimate their income and expenses; and they
have then been able to rapidly build their portfolios. Further, with an increase in supply in the affordable
housing segment supported by an increase in demand due to tax incentives and subsidy through CLSS, the
132
growth potential for the segment is better than the prime home loan market, which is attractive for lenders.
Priority Sector Benefit – Loans extended to the affordable housing segment qualify for the priority sector
benefit, which increases the attractiveness of this product for both banks (for meeting the priority sector target)
and HFCs (attractive source of cheap funds through the securitisation or sell-down routes).
Potential for high risk-adjusted returns – Housing is a safer asset class when compared with some of the other
asset classes, such as commercial vehicles, cars, construction equipment, tractors, personal loans and two-
wheelers. This is because unlike other asset classes, the underlying collateral usually appreciates with time.
Since the borrowing is usually for the self-occupied residential property of the borrower, there is a lower
propensity to default on such loans. Further, with access to SARFAESI, the time to recover from default cases
could also reduce going forward. Within the housing loan segment, the yields in the affordable housing segment
are relatively higher than the traditional housing segment given the relatively higher risk associated by the
borrowers not being credit tested. The expectation of higher returns and the intense competition in the traditional
home loan market, has made the affordable housing segment attractive for HFCs.
The risk-adjusted returns are relatively lower in the prime salaried home loan segment as compared to the self-
employed segment and the affordable housing segment, which makes these segments more attractive to lenders,
especially the new players who have a relatively higher cost of funds, while banks who have access to relatively
lower cost of funds focus more on the prime salaried segment. Further, given the smaller ticket sizes and target
borrower profile, the credit and operational risk is higher for this segment and requires a more focused approach.
The following table sets forth estimations on return on assets on various segments:
The key success factors for the affordable housing segment are listed below:
Operationally intensive processes – Given the target borrower profile, lenders need to develop a deeper
understanding of the micro-markets in the segment and develop a local network, thus making the process
manpower intensive. Given the limited banking habits, bounce rates are relatively high and thus companies need
to put in place strong collection teams for recovery. Consequently, the operating expenses for the segment is
higher.
Assessment of income may involve subjectivity – Given the lack of formal income proofs, underwriting risks are
higher in the segment due to a dependence on the underwriter’s experience leading to a lower level of
standardization and thus, a higher probability of errors in income or expense assessments. Further, as the
borrower discussions are scheduled in advance, there is a potential for frauds. Reference checks and surprise
visits by fraud control units of HFCs help mitigate the risk to some extent.
Enforcement of security may be difficult and time consuming – While most HFCs have access to SARFAESI
now, borrower litigation cannot be ruled out. Further, in the event of default, the ability of an HFC to repossess
a self-occupied residential property and resell would be limited either due to location related issues or
cohesiveness among borrowers leading to non-availability of buyers for the repossessed property. With higher
interest rates on these loans, the longer it takes to recover from delinquent loans; the loss build-up for the lender
is higher. Also, the legal costs are relatively high in relation to the loan and property amounts.
Collateral risk could be relatively high – The properties under affordable housing segment are usually in the
133
suburbs, society lands, or gram panchayat lands where verification of legal titles could be challenging.
Fraudulent mortgage related risk – While lenders do take appropriate due diligence measures to safeguard
against this risk while sanctioning the loan, there have been instances of borrowers mortgaging the same
property with multiple lenders. As of now, registration of charge on the underlying property is undertaken by
lenders only on a selective basis (high ticket loans or in case of corporate borrowers). The directive by RBI to
register the charge on the underlying property with a central registry set up by the Central Government can help
mitigate this risk to a large extent.
The following chart summarizes the key risks and some of the mitigants used by the affordable HFCs:
Higher Operational Risk •Use of technology based solutions to improve efficiencies and reduce
operational risks
Given the extensive appraisal process in the affordable segment due to the lack of formal income proofs which
often lead to high operating expenses, HFCs are increasingly utilizing technology to improve operating
efficiencies, accuracy and to standardize the appraisal process.
For sourcing and initial screening of loan applications, companies have been using hand held devices or mobile
applications where the basis of the preliminary information is provided by a borrower, which is the first level of
filtering, thus making the process more efficient. The use of this technology has increased digitization of records
and data including bank account details being linked to the Aadhar database, which helps companies in basic
underwritings at the first stage. With these devices, companies have been able to improve their turnaround time
as data can be sent to centralized credit teams or hubs on a real time basis as compared to the time it would take
for the physical movement of files.
On the credit appraisal front, by using technology companies have been able to better document and standardize
the questionnaires for credit appraisal, especially in cases where personal discussions are involved. HFCs are
also developing credit decision engines to decrease the time it takes to process files and identify credits which
require manual intervention. Properties are being geotagged to improve collection efforts and identify financed
properties.
Further, with better integrated systems and the availability of data, companies are increasingly setting up the in-
house analytics teams, which are helping them identify the early warning signals and develop a more focused
collection strategy, thus making the entire credit process stronger.
All these efforts are likely to reduce the operational and credit risks associate with this segment to some extent
and help in scalability, as they would lead to a reduction in operating expense ratios.
While housing loans continue to lead the HFCs loan book, the share of housing loans in the overall HFCs
portfolio reduced to 67% as on March 31, 2018, due to the fast paced growth of non-housing loans. The rising
134
share of non-housing loans has enabled HFCs to maintain their lending spreads, due to the competition in the
prime salaried segment. However, new HFCs operating in the affordable housing segment continue to be
focused on the home loan segment given the good growth potential and expectations of higher yields from the
same.

As for the target segment, while the larger HFCs are largely focused on salaried segment, small HFCs and the
Affordable New HFCs have a higher share of the self-employed segment in the their overall portfolio.
HFCs in the affordable segment had a higher share of portfolio in sub ₹ 2 million category. The share was
higher for the Affordable New players, with almost 90% of the portfolio at a ticket size of up to ₹ 2 million.
The following table sets forth the ticket size wise break-up of home loan portfolio of affordable HFCs:
Overall portfolio LTVs are lower in the affordable segment with approximately 56% of the portfolio at LTV less
than 60% as compared to approximately 30% for all HFCs, indicating better conditions to absorb credit loss in
case of default.
The following chart sets forth LTV wise break-up of portfolio across HFC categories as on September 30, 2017:
HFCs are largely dependent on in-house sales teams and direct sales agents for sourcing the loans. Walk-ins
are a miniscule proportion of the overall sourcing mix for all HFC categories. Further, within the affordable
segment most of the sourcing is through dedicated in-house sales teams. In some cases, HFCs depend on
referrals from connectors who are intermediaries in the value chain such as brokers, lawyers, hardware and
cement shop owners among others.

The overall asset quality indicators of HFCs have remained positive, though there was deterioration in Fiscal
2018 due to some slippages in the non-housing loan book. Reasons attributable for good asset quality of HFCs
in the home loan segment are:
a large proportion of home loans are taken for own use or self-occupation;
lower LTVs lead to higher equity contributions from the borrower; and
HFCs extend the tenure of loans rather than EMIs when interest rates increase. It is only if the residual
tenure of the loan crosses the retirement age of the borrower or other eligibility criteria that EMIs are
increased. Therefore, the impact of interest rate changes on the borrower’s cash flows is not significant.
The following table sets forth trends in asset quality for HFCs:
Housing loans are regarded as the safest retail loan asset class in India, with low and stable delinquencies
observed in this segment, over the years supported by factors such as prudent underwriting norms, the nature of
the underlying collateral (largely self-occupied residential property) and an absence of any steep correction in
property prices. Asset quality indicators in the LAP and construction finance segments are weaker than the
housing segment for all HFCs.

Post demonetisation, there was a increase in delinquencies in the affordable housing segment due to portfolio
seasoning, the impact of demonetisation and GST on their cash flows. However, an improving trend was
observed in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in delinquencies was primarily due to the self-employed/
cash salary segment (which constitutes a majority part of the affordable housing HFC’s portfolio), the reported
income of a borrower is usually significantly lower than his assessed income, with the key premise being that
borrowers under-report their income to save taxes. Borrower cash flows were impacted (either due to reduced
sales, depending on the sector in which the borrower is operating, or due to a higher tax outgo). Hence, the debt
servicing ability was adversely impacted, resulting in the weakening of asset quality indicators. While the
increase in delinquencies was partially attributed to an increase in portfolio seasoning, the roll back has also
been difficult as the marginal credit profiles and limited ability of the borrowers made it difficult for them to
make multiple payments together and clear the overdue amount, leading to some stickiness in delinquencies
especially in softer bucket.
Delinquencies in the LAP segment have been weaker and reported deterioration post demonetisation which
continued till March 2018.

Overall asset quality indicators have been good and stable in the salaried segment whereas the asset quality in
the self-employed segment is significantly weaker and more volatile. While the asset quality is weaker in self-
employed and affordable segment, given the lower loan to value ratios, owing to the cash flows of such
segments being more volatile, lower loan to value ratios on the portfolio leading to lower loss given default as
well as higher risk adjusted returns make the segment attractive for lenders.
The following table sets forth borrower classification wise NPAs for various HFC segments:
Overall, housing loans up to ₹ 0.2 million had the highest level of NPAs and the banks reported higher NPAs
than the HFCs.
The following table sets forth ticket size wise NPAs of housing loans:
Over the last few years, there has been a shift in the borrowing profile of HFCs towards debt market
instruments, such as non-convertible debentures and commercial paper, from 46% as on March 31, 2015 to 53%
as on March 31, 2018, has been supported by retail debenture issuances, masala bonds and an increase in the
investment limits of mutual funds. HFCs in the affordable housing segment have a high dependence on banks
for meeting their funding requirements. Further, the NHB is also expected to remain an important source of
long-term funds for these affordable HFCs, given that the institution mobilizes funds at competitive rates.
139
Assignments and securitisation continue to be a significant sources of funding for HFCs, given that a large
proportion of home loans are eligible for the priority sector.
The following table sets forth trends in the borrowing profile for HFCs:
Total 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100%

(Annualized)
Cost of funds for HFCs moderated significantly in Fiscal 2018 due to a decline in interest rates till the third
quarter of Fiscal 2018 and the diversification of funding mix into debt market instruments. However, cost of
funds for HFCs in the affordable housing segment have improved with the improvement in their credit profiles
and scale up of operations. The rising bond yields and CP rates are expected to increase the cost of funds.
Entities which have a higher share of short term borrowings in the overall borrowing mix may get impacted
more in a rising interest rate scenario.

Aggregate gearing for HFCs remained at approximately 7.2 times supported by good internal capital generation
and regular external capital infusions. Reported capital adequacy for HFCs remained good with median CRAR
of 18.1% as of March 31, 2018 due to the relatively lower risk weights for home loans and commercial real
estate loans for residential projects. Gearing levels for HFCs are expected to remain at approximately 8.5 to 9
times over the medium term supported by good internal capital generation and comfortable access to capital. As
for HFCs in the affordable housing segment, good investor interest and regular capital infusions have enabled
them to maintain good capitalisation indicators with a gearing ratio of approximately 4 times as on March 31,
2018. Affordable HFCs are expected to maintain leveraging levels of approximately 5 times over the medium
term. Nevertheless, regulatory capital adequacy is expected to be supported by lower risk weights in housing
loans for lower ticket sizes.
The following table sets forth trends in gearing ratio (total debt/net worth) for HFCs:

All HFCs 8.2 8.2 8.1 7.2
Affordable All 8.8 9.6 8.3 7.7
Affordable New 4.3 4.7 4.1 3.6
HFCs were able to stabilize interest spreads due to the rising share of higher yielding non-housing loans and the
rising share of debt market instruments in overall borrowings. Stable interest spreads, stable credit costs and
operating costs ratios enabled HFCs to report good profitability indicators in Fiscal 2018. Going forward,
compression in incremental spreads due to rising cost of funds can be expected, though the rising share of higher
yielding non-housing loans are expected to support the same to an extent. Overall, a 5 to 10 basis points
reduction in profitability (profit after tax/ average total assets) is expected for HFCs in Fiscal 2019, translating
to return on assets (“ROAs”) of 2.1 to 2.2% and return on equities (“ROEs”) of 17 to 19%.
The following table sets forth trends in ROEs for various HFC categories:
Lending yields in the affordable housing segment are significantly higher than traditional segments leading to
higher spreads and margins. However, the extensive appraisal process, the relatively smaller scale of operations,
the high upfront expenditure on head office and systems related expenses, result in higher operating expense
ratios for the ‘Affordable New’ category. With the expansion in scale, the operating expense ratios for the
‘Affordable New’ category are expected to moderate, resulting in further improvement in profitability
indicators. The ROEs are expected to increase to 13 to 15% for Fiscal 2019, assuming credit costs are
maintained at similar levels.

home loans, we offer our customers other mortgage loans including loans against property, which accounted for
24.18% of our Gross Loan Assets as of June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, 61.22% of our Gross Loan Assets
were from customers who belonged to the economically weaker section and low income group, earning less than
₹ 50,000 per month and 36.27% of our Gross Loan Assets were from customers who were new to credit. As of
June 30, 2018, 64.21% of Gross Loan Assets were from self-employed customers. The average sanctioned
amount of our home loans and other mortgage loans was ₹ 0.87 million and ₹ 0.80 million, respectively, on our
Gross Loan Assets, as of June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, our Gross Loan Assets had an average loan-to-
value of 50.33% at the time of the sanctioning of the loan. Since the commencement of our operations in March
2012, we have served more than 62,500 customers.
We have adopted a strategy of contiguous on-ground expansion across regions and as of June 30, 2018, we

and ₹ 25,957.82 million, respectively, and our average cost of borrowings has reduced from 12.28% as of March
31, 2014 to 8.57% as of June 30, 2018. Meanwhile, our long-term credit ratings have improved from CRISIL
BBB+/Stable in August 2012 to CRISIL A+/Stable currently. As of June 30, 2018, the weighted average

Our Company is registered with the NHB as an HFC and we commenced our operations in Jaipur, Rajasthan in
March 2012. Our Company was initially promoted by Au Financiers (India) Limited, (now known as AU Small
Finance Bank Limited (“AuSFB”)), which sold 90.10% of the outstanding equity interest of our Company in
148
connection with its conversion to a small finance bank, to Lake District Holdings Limited (a subsidiary of
Kedaara Capital I Limited) (“Lake District”), Kedaara Capital Alternative Investment Fund - Kedaara Capital
AIF 1 (“Kedaara AIF-1”), Partners Group ESCL Limited (“ESCL”) and Partners Group Private Equity Master
Fund LLC (“Master Fund”) in June, 2016. The name of our Company was changed from ‘AU Housing Finance
Limited’ to ‘Aavas Financiers Limited’ in March 2017. We are led by a professional management team and our
Key Managerial Personnel held 7.19% of the outstanding equity interest of our Company, as of the date of this
Prospectus.
Strong Distribution Network with Deep Penetration Serving Underserved Customers in Rural and Semi-
Urban Markets
We commenced our operations in March 2012 with a focus on serving low and middle income self employed
customers in the rural and semi-urban markets and are currently present in eight states in India. We commenced
our operations in rural areas and small towns and have followed an approach of targeting geographies with low
credit penetration. Our branches are predominantly located in rural and semi-urban areas and as of June 30,
2018, of our 166 branches, 134 branches were located in towns with a population of less than one million
people. Our understanding of the local characteristics of markets has allowed us to address the unique needs of
our customers and enabled us to penetrate deeper into such markets. We believe that we have successfully
adopted a strategy of on-ground contiguous expansion across regions and as of June 30, 2018, we conducted our
operations in 757 tehsils across 95 districts in eight states. As of the same date, we had a point of presence in
78.69%, 70.67%, 54.90% and 47.95% of the tehsils in the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya
Pradesh, respectively.
A large segment of India’s rural and semi-urban population is currently unserved and underserved by formal
financial institutions. Over the years, we have focused on customers in such markets that offer us significant
growth opportunities and customer loyalty. As of June 30, 2018, 61.22% of our Gross Loan Assets were from
customers who belonged to the economically weaker section and the low income group, earning less than ₹
50,000 per month and 36.27% of our Gross Loan Assets were from customers who were new to credit. As of
June 30, 2018, 64.21% of our Gross Loan Assets were from self-employed customers. According to ICRA, the
housing shortage in rural areas among the economically weaker section was for 39.3 million units constituting
89.93% of the total rural housing shortage, which provides us significant opportunity to scale up our operations.
Catering to self-employed customers requires a special skillset in absence of requisite income proofs as lending
to them, is based on an assessment of their income through various methods, including their cash flows. Self-
employed customers are also more vulnerable to economic cycles and lending to them requires robust
underwriting systems to price the risk appropriately. (Source: ICRA Report) As a result of our expertise,
experience and business model, we believe that we are able to effectively serve such customers and grow our
business. We have also demonstrated an ability to replicate our business model in eight states, while maintaining
our asset quality.
We believe in sourcing our customers directly, and maintaining on-going relationships and contact with them. A
majority of our customers are borrowers who have been referred to us by existing or former customers and our
branches act as a single point of contact for them. The personnel at our branches are responsible for sourcing
loans, carrying out preliminary checks on the credit worthiness of a prospective customer, providing assistance
in documentation, disbursing loans and in monitoring repayments and collections. We have implemented an
analytics platform with a pre-defined approval matrix, which expedites the processing of loan applications. Our
credit and sales teams work with lawyers and technical agencies empaneled by us and we believe that effective
coordination between our branch offices and our head office allows us to reduce turn around time for our
customers. We primarily recruit locally, which provides us with a better understanding of customers in those
regions and their specific requirements. We have set up a call center in Jaipur, which is focused on generating
new business and performing customer service and collections functions. This call center operates in English,
Hindi and select regional languages, which helps us better service our customers.
A direct sourcing and collection system enables us to optimally price our offerings and maintain our asset
quality. Our ability to directly control the end-to-end process has helped us reduce average turn-around-time
149
from 21 days during Fiscal 2014 to 13 days during Fiscal 2018, and we were able to achieve a turn-around-time
of 10 days in 54.22% of the cases during Fiscal 2018. Our end-to-end control of the collections process has
helped us reduce one day past due from 14.51% as of March 31, 2014 to 4.65% as of June 30, 2018, of our
Gross Advances. We believe that maintaining direct contact with our customers helps mitigate underwriting and
default risks, and enables us to provide personalized services resulting in a satisfied customer base, increased
customer connect and loyalty. In our experience, personal contact with customers in rural and semi-urban
markets also encourages repeat business and leads to referrals. Over the years, our growth has primarily been
through the increase in the number of our customers and we continue to maintain a low average loan ticket size.
For instance, during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscal 2018, only 6.63% and 6.90% of our
disbursements were through balance transfer for existing customers of other financial institutions, respectively,
while the rest of our disbursements were for new customers. We have developed strong relationships with our
customers through in-person contact by addressing their financial needs in a timely and requisite manner, our
knowledge of the local markets and our widespread network of branches. Our customer-centric approach has
been one of the key reasons for our growth, profitability and asset quality, and helps us differentiate ourselves
from our competition.
Robust and Comprehensive Credit Assessment, Risk Management and Collections Framework
We have implemented a robust and comprehensive credit assessment, risk management and collections
framework to identify, monitor and manage risks inherent in our operations. As part of our credit policy, we
finance primarily retail customers and do not provide finance to builders, which we believe helps in maintaining
our asset quality. As of June 30, 2018, a majority of the home loans that we disbursed were for single-unit
properties, almost all of which were to be occupied by the borrowers themselves. As of June 30, 2018, our home
loans and other mortgage loans had an average loan-to-value of 51.78% and 45.78%, respectively, at the time of
the sanctioning of the loan, resulting in our Gross Loan Assets having an average loan-to-value of 50.33% at the
time of the sanctioning of the loan. Since the commencement of our operations in March 2012, we have served
more than 62,500 customers. To assist us with our credit assessment and risk management functions, we have
created more than 60 templates of customer profiles through our experience over the years, with risk assessment
measures for each geography in which we operate. We continuously seek to develop and update such profiles in
order to identify and source reliable customers and improve our efficiencies. We also conduct an analysis of the
existing cash flow of a customer’s business to assess their repayment abilities. Our credit team has been set up
as a separate vertical and does not report to our business team across levels. In addition, members of our sales
team are also responsible for monitoring and maintaining our asset quality. As of June 30, 2018, the ratio of the
number of members in our credit team to our sales team was approximately 1:2.5. We have implemented a four
prong system of credit assessment comprising underwriting, legal assessments, technical assessments and a risk
containment unit. For further details, see “Our Business – Credit Approval and Disbursement” on page 157.
We have developed a proprietary pricing grid to price various customer and property related risks such as lack
of credit history, self-employed nature of customers and occupation specific risks. In addition, we periodically
review the repayment track record of other loans taken by our customers to assess the possibility of future
defaults and take preventive measures. We also continuously evaluate whether customers whose loan
applications were rejected by us have obtained loans from other institutions and their repayment track record, in
order to evaluate the robustness of our underwriting systems and processes. Our risk management framework
includes a comprehensive audit mechanism of internal audits performed at a corporate level on a quarterly basis,
annual branch level audits and management audits, which cover specific risk based assignments. We have set up
a Risk Management Committee to review and identify current and emerging risks, develop risk assessment and
measurement systems and establish policies, practices and other control mechanisms to manage risks and
develop risk tolerance limits, monitor positions against approved risk tolerance limits and report its findings to
senior management.
We have well established processes and a strong four-tier collections infrastructure comprising tele-calling, field
collection, legal recovery and settlement to help us with loan collections. Our collections team focusses on early
warning signals in accounts that are from one day past due and we have largely localized teams to monitor cases
that show signs of delinquency. We review portfolios on a periodic basis through credit bureau checks, reputed
credit databases and have set up a system of dashboard monitoring of cases by our risk team where members can
review certain information of borrowers, identify areas of concern and initiate prompt action. As of June 30,
2018, our collections team comprised 98 personnel. We have also set up a specialized collections team to
manage cases where collections are overdue for a certain period as well as a separate team to focus on the
resolution of cases through SARFAESI. We believe that our effective credit risk management is reflected in our
portfolio quality indicators such as high repayment rates, one day past dues and low rates of Gross NPAs and
150
Net NPAs across business and economic cycles. As of June 30, 2018, our Gross NPA accounted for 0.50% of
our Gross Advances, while our Net NPA accounted for 0.38% of our Net Advances. For details, see “Selected
Statistical Information” on page 204.
Our treasury department is responsible for our capital requirements and asset liability management, minimizing
the cost of our borrowings, liquidity management and control, diversify fund raising sources, managing interest
rate risk and investing surplus funds in accordance with the criteria set forth in our investment policy. Over the
years, we have secured financing from a variety of sources including term loans and working capital facilities;
proceeds from loans assigned and securitized; proceeds from the issuance of NCDs; refinancing from the NHB;
and subordinated debt borrowings from banks, mutual funds, insurance companies and other domestic and
foreign financial and multi-lateral institutions to meet our capital requirements. We securitize and assign loans
through securitization or direct assignment to banks and financial institutions, which enables us to optimize our
cost of borrowings, funding and liquidity requirements, capital management and asset liability management. We
have increased the number of our lender relationships from 13 as of March 31, 2014 to 36 as of June 30, 2018.
As of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, our Total Borrowings were ₹ 27,217.61 million and ₹ 25,957.82
million and our average cost of borrowing was 8.57% and 8.65%, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, Total
Borrowings comprised 64.07% of loans from banks and loans from financial institution, 14.33% of Non-
convertible debentures, 16.56% of loans from National Housing Bank, 3.67% of unsecured non-convertible
debentures (Subordinate Debt) and 1.37% of short term borrowings from bank. Our average cost of borrowings
has reduced from 12.28% as of March 31, 2014 to 8.57% as of June 30, 2018. Further, as of June 30, 2018,
30.82% of our Total Borrowings and securitization and assignment were at fixed rates of interest, while 69.18%
were at floating rates.
The following chart sets forth our borrowing mix as of June 30, 2018:
We carefully monitor the contractual maturity periods of our assets and liabilities and categorize them on the
basis of the number of years in which they mature. As of June 30, 2018, the weighted average duration of our
Gross Loan Assets was 169.48 months on origination, while the weighted average duration of our outstanding
borrowings and securitization and assignment was 134.15 months. We currently have a favourable asset-liability
position across all categories and a significant majority of our liabilities mature over five years, which we
believe assists us in mitigating liquidity and interest rate risks. We believe that we have been able to access cost-
effective debt financing due to our stable credit history, improving credit ratings and conservative risk
management policies.
The following table reflects the improvement in our credit ratings for the periods indicated:
Effective Use of Technology and Analytics to build a Scalable and Efficient Operating Model
We have made significant investments in our information technology systems and implemented automated,
151
digitized and other technology-enabled platforms and proprietary tools, to strengthen our offerings and derive
greater operational, cost and management efficiencies. Between Fiscals 2014 and 2018, we invested ₹ 150.45
million in our information technology systems and as of June 30, 2018, our IT and data science teams comprised
36 and 6 personnel, respectively. We have consistently monitored our cost-to-income ratio, leveraging
economies-of-scale, increasing manpower productivity with growing disbursements through the enhanced use of
information technology systems, resulting in quicker loan turn around time and reducing transaction costs. Our
information technology systems help us with several functions, including:
Origination: We utilize a mobile application through which almost all our leads are recorded, which
assists us in the monitoring and tracking of leads from an early stage and generating a credit appraisal
memorandum, resulting in lower costs and an increase in productivity. We have developed and
implemented a business information management system to track and monitor the status of loan
documentation and turn around time. We have also developed and implemented an application
scorecard to predict the risk profile of borrowers, including for our first-to-credit customers.
Collections: We have developed a statistical algorithm to predict the probability of default, which helps
us in obtaining early signals of potential defaults and mitigate risks. We conduct real time tracking of
our collections personnel and have provided them with hand held devices to enable them to issue e-
receipts to our customers.
Customer service and retention: We have implemented an online payment gateway on our website to
enable our customers to make online payments. We perform predictive analytics to identify cases of
balance transfer and proactively seek to retain such clients. We have also developed new products and
strategies such as ‘Aavas Plus’, Aavas Refresh’ and ‘Aavas Winback’, which we use in collaboration
with our analytics platform to improve customer satisfaction and retain our customers.
We believe that the adoption of digital service delivery mechanisms enables us to be more efficient, customer
friendly and over time perform more reliable data analytics, resulting in target customer profiling, customized
and tailor-made products to suit the diverse requirements of our customers and improved customer satisfaction.
We are led by qualified and experienced key managerial personnel, who are supported by a capable and
motivated pool of managers and other employees. We believe that our management team has extensive
knowledge and understanding of the housing finance business and the expertise and vision to organically scale
up our business. They also have diverse experience in a range of financial products and functions related to our
business and operations. Our founder, Whole Time Director and CEO, Sushil Kumar Agarwal, has been
associated with the financial services industry for the past 17 years. Our co-founder and Chief Financial Officer,
Ghanshyam Rawat, has over 23 years of work experience in finance, fund raising, treasury management, forex
and interest risk management and mergers and acquisitions. Sunku Ram Naresh, our chief business officer, has
experience in mortgages and FMCG distribution. Ashutosh Atre, our chief credit officer, has over 29 years of
work experience in credit management. Our Key Managerial Personnel have made investments in our Company
periodically and held 7.19% of the outstanding equity interest of our Company, as of the date of this Prospectus.
Further, our branch managers have an in-depth understanding of loan products, types of collateral and
businesses of our borrowers.
152
Our shareholders include marquee investors such as Lake District, Kedaara AIF-1, ESCL and Master Fund and
we believe we have benefited significantly from their vision and leadership, and they along with our senior
management, have been instrumental in formulating and executing the core strategy of our Company.
Our Strategies
Our goal is to grow our loan portfolio, reduce the cost of our borrowings, improve cost efficiency and maintain
our asset quality through following initiatives:
While historically most of our operations were focused in Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh,
we have grown our operations in relatively newer markets such as Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and
Chhattisgarh. We believe that our current operating model is scalable, which will assist us in expanding our
operations with lower incremental costs to drive efficiency and profitability. We intend to continue to expand in
an on-ground contiguous manner, to drive greater and deeper penetration in the eight states in which we operate
and set up an additional 70 branches during Fiscal 2019. Our expansion strategy would continue to grow
contiguously by rolling-out new branches in tehsils with low mortgage penetration levels. When we enter a new
state through contiguous expansion, we would open new branches in district head-quarters and then expand
deeper by deploying personnel to tehsils adjacent to them to source new customers. As of June 30, 2018, we had
reached an approximate tehsil level penetration of 78.69%, 70.67%, 54.90%, 47.95%, 13.51%, 22.22%, 0.96%
and 18.12% in the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh
and Chhattisgarh, respectively, thus providing us the scope to continue to grow our business further in these
states. We intend to achieve a tehsil level penetration of approximately 85% in all the states in which we
operate. We also intend to commence operations in the state of Uttarakhand during Fiscal 2019.
We plan to continue to focus on low and middle income self employed customers and increase the market share
of our existing products in the rural and semi-urban markets of India. A large segment of India’s rural and semi-
urban population is currently unserved or underserved by formal financial institutions comprising customers
without any credit history and we believe that such customer segment offers us significant growth opportunities
and customer loyalty. According to ICRA, the housing shortage in rural areas among the economically weaker
section was for 39.3 million units constituting 89.93% of the total rural housing shortage, and 99.84% of the
urban housing shortage was found among the economically weaker sections and low income groups, which
provides us significant opportunity to scale up our operations. We intend to cross-sell products to our existing
customers and develop long-term relationships with them. Further, we intend to continue to focus on disbursing
loans to underserved low and middle income customers primarily for the purchase and construction of single
unit houses, as part of our risk mitigating strategy. We also intend to increase our fee income through the
distribution of third-party life, general and health insurance products.
We secure funding from a variety of sources to meet our capital requirements. We believe that we have been
able to access cost-effective debt financing and reduced our average cost of borrowings over the years due to
several factors, including our financial performance and improving credit ratings. As we continue to grow the
scale of our operations, we seek to reduce our dependence on expensive term loans from banks and financial
institutions, optimize our cost of funds and continue to improve our credit ratings. A lower average cost of
borrowing enables us to competitively price our loan products and helps us grow our business and operations
and increase our net interest margins. Our average cost of borrowings has reduced from 12.28% as of March 31,
2014 to 8.57% as of June 30, 2018.
Further, we intend to continue to increase our lender base which has increased from 13 as of March 31, 2014 to
36 as of June 30, 2018, and seek to obtain funding from insurance, pension and provident funds, overseas
lenders, external commercial borrowings and through the issue of commercial paper.
We also intend to continue to focus on improving our asset and liability management to ensure that we continue
to have a positive asset-liability position. As a result of such initiatives, we believe that we will be able to
continue improving our credit ratings and reduce the cost of our borrowings.
153
Increase our Product Portfolio and Improve Cost Efficiency through Use of Technology and Data Analytics
We have made significant investments in our information technology systems to improve our cost efficiency and
as we continue to expand our geographic reach and scale of operations, we intend to further improve and
leverage such systems to support our growth and reduce our operational expenditures. Our application
scorecard, use of a mobile application for recording and monitoring leads and geo tagging of properties, and the
use of data analytics, enable us to mitigate risks and improve our operational efficiencies. Our use of technology
will also allow us to continue providing streamlined approval and documentation procedures and reduce
turnaround times and incidence of error. Further, all our branches and our corporate office are linked through a
central data base platform that enhances data management, strengthens service delivery and serves customers in
an efficient manner.
In addition, we have developed certain products and customer retention strategies, which we use in collaboration
with our analytics platform to grow our business. Through our product ‘Aavas Plus’, we offer incremental loans,
with a low turn around time, to existing customers who have been servicing their loans regularly and have low
LTVs. ‘Aavas Refresh’ is a customer retention strategy for customers who regularly service their loans and
whose repayments are reaching completion. ‘Aavas Winback’ targets customers whose loans are either
foreclosed or closed on maturity, or those who did not avail a previously sanctioned loan. Such products and
strategies help us to grow our business, retain good customers and improve realizations.
We believe that as we further develop and integrate technology into our business, we can further capitalize on
the reach of our offices and increase our market share. We believe greater adoption of our digital service
delivery mechanisms will enable us to be more efficient, customer friendly and over time perform more accurate
data analytics, resulting in target customer profiling, cross-selling of products, customized and tailor-made
products to suit the diverse requirements of our customers and improve customer satisfaction.
We believe that having a strong recognizable brand is a key attribute in our business, which helps us attract and
retain customers, increases customer confidence and influences purchase decisions. Having a strong and
recognizable brand has also assisted us in recruiting and retaining employees. We intend to continue to
undertake initiatives to increase the strength and recall of our ‘Aavas’ brand to attract new customers. We seek
to build our brand by engaging with existing and potential customers’ through customer literacy programs,
sponsor popular events in the regions we operate and advertise in newspapers, hoardings, television, radio and in
other advertising media.
We offer customers home loans for the purchase or construction of residential properties, and for the extension
and repair of existing housing units.
We also offer customers other mortgage loans including loans against property. Loans against property are loans
that are used primarily for business financing requirements, such as for the expansion of business, working
capital needs, or other approved purposes as set out in the relevant loan documentation.
In addition, we have developed new products and strategies such as ‘Aavas Plus’, Aavas Refresh’ and ‘Aavas
Winback’. Through ‘Aavas Plus’, we lend incremental loans, with a low turn around time, to our existing
customers who have been servicing their loans regularly and have low LTVs. ‘Aavas Refresh’ is a customer
retention strategy for customers who regularly service their loans and whose repayments are reaching
completion. ‘Aavas Winback’ targets customers whose loans are either foreclosed or closed on maturity, or
those who did not avail a previously sanctioned loan.

eight states.
The following table sets forth certain details of the reach of our branch network as of June 30, 2018:
Customer Base
Our target customer segment comprises low and middle income individuals in semi-urban and rural areas who
have limited access to formal banking credit. We offer loans to self-employed customers, whose main source of
income is their profession or their business and salaried customers, whose main source of income is salary from
their employment. As of June 30, 2018, 61.22% of our Gross Loan Assets were from customers who belonged
to the economically weaker section and low income group, earning less than ₹ 50,000 per month and 36.27% of
our Gross Loan Assets were from customers who were new to credit. As of June 30, 2018, 64.21% of Gross
Loan Assets were from self-employed customers. Many of our customers who are individuals do not have
formal income proofs, pay slips, or file income tax returns, and as such may be excluded from being served by
banks or large financial institutions. Self-employed customers are also more vulnerable to economic cycles and
lending to them requires robust underwriting systems to price the risk appropriately. (Source: ICRA Report). As
a result of our expertise, experience and business model, we believe that we are able to effectively serve such
customers and grow our business, while monitoring and mitigating risks.
The following table sets forth the state wise distribution of our Gross Loan Assets and branches as of June 30,
2018:

Indicates the percentage of loan accounts which did not have a credit score at the time of the sanction of the loan.
The NHB Directions prescribe the maximum permissible parameters of the loan amount that can be provided to
housing loan customers. A property with market value of up to ₹ 3.00 million is permitted to have a maximum
LTV ratio of up to 90.0%, property with market value between ₹ 3.00 million and ₹ 7.50 million is permitted to
have maximum LTV ratio of up to 80.0% and property with market value above ₹ 7.50 million is permitted to
have maximum LTV ratio of up to 75.0%. We set an LTV ratio range for each of our loan products that is
within the relevant range prescribed by the relevant regulatory authorities. As of June 30, 2018, our home loans
and other mortgage loans had an average loan-to-value of 51.78% and 45.78% respectively at the time of the
sanctioning of the loan, resulting in our Gross Loan Assets having an average loan-to-value of 50.33% at the
time of the sanctioning of the loan.
While approving a loan application, we review the customer’s repayment capacity, which is determined by
factors such as the customer’s age, educational qualification, number of dependents and the stability and
continuity of the customer’s income. We also review a co-applicant’s income, assets and liabilities, and cash
flows, as required. The amount of the loan is determined on the basis of our evaluation of the repayment
capacity of a customer, the value of the relevant property and is subject to regulatory limits. Loans are generally
required to be repaid in equated monthly installments (“EMIs”) over an agreed period. The size of the EMI
depends on the size of loan, interest rate and tenure of loan. The tenure of our home loans can be for a period up
to 30 years and vary according to the purpose of the loan, the customer’s age and the customer segment. As of
June 30, 2018, the weighted average tenure of our Gross Loan Assets was 169.48 months on origination.
We offer our home loan customers the option to choose between a fixed or variable interest rate, or a
combination thereof, in order to allow them to hedge against unexpected interest rate movements. The pricing of
a fixed interest rate loan and the variable interest rate loans is generally determined on the basis of market
conditions. We determine our reference rate from time to time based on market conditions and price our loans at
either a discount or a premium to our reference rate. For variable rate loans, the interest rate is linked to our
reference rate. As of June 30, 2018, our reference rate was 14.85%; and 47.05% of our Gross Loan Assets were
at fixed rates of interest with a weighted average yield of 15.73%, while 52.95% were at variable rates with a
weighted average yield of 12.20%.
We require our customers to pay certain processing fees and charges prior to the disbursement of the loans at
different stages of the loan application. These fees and charges are subject to change from time to time based on
market conditions and regulatory requirements. We charge a non-refundable application fee when a customer is
logged in as a lead in our system, which fees is credited to the customers account upon disbursement of the loan.
We also collect a processing fee between one and two percent of the sanctioned amount from our customers,
prior to disbursement of the loan, to cover the initial cost of underwriting the loan.
The underlying collateral for a loan is the house towards which the loan is provided, either for construction,
purchase or improvement. The security for home loans is created either through an equitable mortgage by way
of deposit of title deeds or a registered mortgage of immovable property. For certain loans, we obtain personal
guarantees from a guarantor. For salaried customers who receive their salaries in cash, we typically obtain a
guarantee from their employers.
Upon sourcing a customer and obtaining a loan application along with the relevant documentation, our
relationship officer enters the case details in the OmniFin system and hands over the file to a credit officer.
Thereafter, credit bureau checks are conducted to identify any fraudulent activity at an early stage by our fraud
control unit. A credit bureau report is then generated where the credit score of the applicant is reviewed along
with a track record of loan repayments, where available. The loan application is checked for various parameters
including the completeness of the application form, relevant KYC documents, an initial money deposit cheque
and income proofs, where applicable.
156
Upon the receipt of property documents, which are to be used as collateral, the disbursement officer initiates a
legal and technical assessment, including by engaging external vendors, to verify the authenticity of the
documents, the legal title to the collateral property and its market value. We conduct personal discussions over
the telephone as well as in-person meetings at the customer’s house or place of business. Our credit managers
visit customers to understand their business, revenue streams, expenses and based on income validations,
determine their loan eligibility. The credit manager then prepares the credit appraisal memorandum and cash
flow analysis. For salaried customers, the credit manager conducts telephonic discussions to prepare the credit
appraisal memorandum. The credit team sends documents to the risk containment unit to verify their
authenticity. Members of our risk containment unit also conduct in-person meetings with certain customers. We
use a risk based pricing matrix to determine the interest rate to be charged for different loans. The loan
application is then approved by a credit officer and sent to our sanctioning authority for final approval. We seek
to mitigate the risk of default by including specific covenants in the loan documentation in addition to our
general terms and conditions, on a case-by-case basis.
Underwriting: We have a credit team of 464 personnel, comprising credit managers and disbursement
officers who conduct an independent verification of customers, evaluate their business and financing
needs, and analyze their ability to repay loans. A majority of our credit approvers are chartered
accountants who also conduct an analysis of the existing cash flow of a customer’s business.
Legal assessments: We conduct legal assessments through our in-house team of lawyers and by
engaging external vendors who help us perform functions such as the verification of documents and
title to properties. Legal reports prepared by external lawyers are reviewed by our in-house legal team.
As of June 30, 2018, we had an in-house legal team of 22 members, of which 14 were lawyers and
approximately 160 local law firms and lawyers were empaneled with us.
Technical assessments: We conduct technical assessments through our in-house team of engineers and
by engaging external vendors who help us perform functions such as conducting technical evaluation of
properties and the periodical review of construction projects. As of June 30, 2018, we had a team of 42
technical members, of which 35 were engineers and approximately 110 technical agencies with
localized expertise were empaneled with us.
Risk Containment Unit: Our risk containment unit conducts credit bureau checks, CERSAI checks,
scrutinizes documents, visits certain customers and seeks to identify fraud at early stages. They also
conduct geography specific risk assessments, authentication of demand letters and employment
certifications. As of June 30, 2018, our risk containment unit comprised 25 personnel.
We have well established processes and a strong four-tier collections infrastructure comprising tele-calling, field
collection, legal recovery and settlement to help us with loan collections. At the outset of loan disbursement, we
provide our customers with the option to make their payments using methods such as cheque, automated
clearing house payment gateways and other digital modes of payment. For overdue cases, our field executives
visit customers to collect installments in methods including cash. We track loan repayment schedules on a
monthly basis by monitoring installments due and loan defaults. We ensure that all customer accounts are
reviewed by our personnel at periodic intervals, particularly for customers who have larger exposures or have
missed their payments.
Our field executives are responsible for collecting installments, with each field executive typically having
responsibility for specified number of borrowers, depending on the volume of loan disbursements in the area.
The entire collection process is administered in-house and we believe that our loan recovery procedures are
well-suited to rural and semi-urban markets. If a customer misses installment payments, our field executives
identify the reasons for default and initiate prompt action pursuant to our internal guidelines.
157
We employ a structured collection process wherein we remind our customers of their payment schedules
through text messages, pre-recorded voice calls and calls from our tele-callers. In certain cases, our in-house
team also visits our customers. If the customer has not made payment by the due date and despite regular
follow-ups for a certain period of time, a senior member of our collections team visits the customer and legal
action is initiated if the customer’s ability or intent to repay is suspect. We have also set up a specialized
collections team to review certain cases. Our collections team comprises collection experts who have extensive
experience with SARFAESI, DRT and other legal recovery procedures.
In the event of default under a loan agreement, we may initiate the process for re-possessing collateral. We work
with local authorities to repossess such assets and take appropriate care in dealing with customers while seizing
assets. Where appropriate, our collections department coordinates with our legal team and external lawyers to
initiate and monitor legal proceedings.
In December 2017, we received a certificate of registration to act as corporate agent from the Insurance
Regulatory and Development Authority of India. Pursuant to this certificate and applicable guidelines, we are
permitted to enter into arrangements with insurers for the distribution of life, general and health insurance
products. We currently distribute insurance products for property.
Treasury Functions
We have set up a treasury department that is responsible for our capital requirements and asset liability
management, minimizing the cost of our borrowings, liquidity management and control, diversifying fund
raising sources, managing interest rate risk and investing surplus funds in accordance with the criteria set forth
in our investment policy. We have obtained financing from a variety of sources including term loans and
working capital facilities; proceeds from loans assigned and securitized; proceeds from the issuance of NCDs;
refinancing from the NHB; and subordinated debt borrowings from banks, mutual funds, insurance companies
and other domestic, foreign and multi-lateral financial institutions to meet our capital requirements. We
securitize and assign loans through securitization or direct assignment to banks and financial institutions, which
enables us to optimize our cost of borrowings, funding and liquidity requirements, capital management and asset
liability management. Our treasury and finance team periodically submit their reports to the Asset Liability
Management Committee which submits its findings to our Board.
As of June 30, 2018, Total Borrowings comprised 64.07% of loans from banks and loans from financial
institution, 14.33% of Non-convertible debentures, 16.56% of loans from National Housing Bank, 3.67% of
unsecured non-convertible debentures (Subordinate Debt) and 1.37% of short term borrowings from bank. Our
average cost of borrowings has reduced from 12.28% as of March 31, 2014 to 8.57% as of June 30, 2018.
Further, as of June 30, 2018, 30.82% of our Total Borrowings and securitization and assignment were at fixed
rates of interest, while 69.18% were at floating rates. We believe that we have been able to access cost-effective
diversified debt financing due to our stable credit history, improving credit ratings and conservative risk
management policies.
The NHB Directions currently require HFCs to comply with a capital to risk (weighted) assets ratio, or CRAR,
consisting of Tier I and Tier II capital. Under these requirements, an HFC’s Tier I and Tier II capital may not be
less than 12.0% of the sum of the HFC’s risk-weighted assets and the risk adjusted value of off-balance sheet
items, as applicable, with a minimum requirement of Tier I capital of 6.0% on risk weighted assets. Further, the
NHB Directions require that the Tier II capital may not exceed the Tier I capital.
The following table sets forth certain details of our CRAR as of the dates indicated:
As of
June 30, March March March

Credit Ratings
Risk Management
Risk management forms an integral part of our business. We continue to improve our internal policies and
implement them rigorously for the efficient functioning of our business. As a lending institution, we are exposed
to various risks that are related to our lending business and operating environment. Our objective in our risk
management processes is to measure and monitor the various risks that we are subject to and to follow policies
and procedures to address such risks. Our risk management framework is driven by our Board and its sub-
committees including the Audit Committee, the Asset Liability Management Committee and the Risk
Management Committee. We give due importance to prudent lending practices and have implemented suitable
measures for risk mitigation, which include verification of credit history from credit information bureaus,
personal verification of a customer’s business and residence, technical and legal verifications, conservative loan
to value, and required term cover for insurance.
The major types of risk we face in our businesses are liquidity risk, credit risk, operation risk, interest rate risk,
cash management risk, asset risk and inflation risk.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises due to the unavailability of adequate amount of funds at an appropriate cost and tenure. We
may face an asset-liability mismatch caused by a difference in the maturity profile of our assets and liabilities.
This risk may arise from the unexpected increase in the cost of funding an asset portfolio at the appropriate
maturity and the risk of being unable to liquidate a position in a timely manner and at a reasonable price. We
monitor liquidity risk through our Asset Liability Management Committee. Monitoring liquidity risk involves
categorizing all assets and liabilities into different maturity profiles and evaluating them for any mismatches in
any particular maturities, particularly in the short-term. We actively monitor our liquidity position to ensure that
we can meet all borrower and lender-related funding requirements.
Our treasury department secures funds from multiple sources, including banks, financial institutions and capital
markets and is responsible for diversifying our capital sources, managing interest rate risks and maintaining
strong relationships with banks, financial institutions, mutual funds, insurance companies, the NHB, other
domestic and foreign financial institutions and rating agencies. We continuously seek to diversify our sources of
funding to facilitate flexibility in meeting our funding requirements. Due to the composition of our loan
portfolio, which also qualifies for priority sector lending, we also engage in securitization and assignment
transactions. For further details, see “Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors – We may face asset-liability
mismatches, which could affect our liquidity and adversely affect our business and results of operations” on
page 19.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may occur from the default by our customers under our loan agreements.
Customer defaults and inadequate collateral may lead to higher NPAs. We manage credit risks by using a set of
credit norms and policies, which are approved by our Board and backed by our technology platform. We have
implemented a structured and standardized credit approval process, including customer selection criteria,
comprehensive credit risk assessment and cash flow analysis, which encompasses analysis of relevant
quantitative and qualitative information to ascertain the credit worthiness of a potential customer. Actual credit
exposures, credit limits and asset quality are regularly monitored at various levels. We have created a robust
credit assessment and underwriting practice that enables us to fairly price our credit risks. For further details, see
“Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors – We are exposed to operational and credit risks which may result in
159
NPAs, and we may be unable to control or reduce the level of NPAs in our portfolio” on page 21.
Operational Risk
Operational risks arise from a variety of factors, including failure to obtain proper internal authorizations,
improperly documented transactions, failure of operational and information security procedures, failure of
computer systems, software or equipment, fraud, inadequate training or employee errors. As one of the features
of our lending operations, we offer a speedy loan approval process and therefore have adopted de-centralized
loan approval systems. In order to control our operational risks, we have adopted clearly defined loan approval
processes and procedures. We also attempt to mitigate operational risk by maintaining a comprehensive system
of internal controls, establishing systems and procedures to monitor transactions, maintaining key back-up
procedures and undertaking contingency planning. In addition, we have appointed audit firms to conduct
internal and process audits at a number of our offices to assess adequacy of and compliance with our internal
controls, procedures and processes. Reports of the internal auditors as well as the action taken on the matters
reported upon are discussed and reviewed at the Audit Committee meetings.
We are subject to interest rate risk, primarily since we lend to customers at rates and for maturity periods that
may differ from our funding sources. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond our control,
including the monetary policies of the RBI, deregulation of the financial sector in India, domestic and
international economic and political conditions, inflation and other factors.
In order to manage interest rate risk, we seek to optimize our borrowing profile between short-term and long-
term loans. We adopt 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 our Asset Liability Management Committee prepares an interest rate sensitivity report
periodically for assessment of interest rate risks. For further details, see “Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors –
We are affected by changes in interest rates for our lending and treasury operations, which could cause our
net interest income to decline and adversely affect our business and results of operations” on page 18.
Our branches collect cash from customers for amounts that are overdue and deposit it in our bank accounts and
we have also engaged certain agencies for their cash management services. To address the cash management
risks, we have developed advanced cash management checks that we employ at every level to track and tally
accounts. We ensure that cash collected up to a certain time is deposited at local bank branches on the same day.
Cash that is to be deposited is accounted for at the branch level and at a central level to avoid discrepancies.
Moreover, we conduct regular audits to ensure the highest levels of compliance with our cash management
systems. For further details, see “Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors – A portion of our collections from
customers is in cash, exposing us to certain operational risks” on page 29.
Asset Risk
Asset risks arise due to the decrease in the value of collateral over time. The selling price of a re-possessed asset
may be less than the total amount of loan and interest outstanding in such borrowing and we may be unable to
realize the full amount lent to our customers due to such a decrease in the value of collateral. We may also face
certain practical and execution difficulties during the process of seizing collateral of defaulting customers. We
work with local authorities to repossess such assets and take appropriate care in dealing with customers while
seizing assets. For further details, see “Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors – Our inability to recover the full
value of collateral, or amounts outstanding under defaulted loans in a timely manner, or at all, could
adversely affect our results of operations” on page 20.
Inflation Risk
Inflation rates in India have been volatile in recent years, and such volatility may continue in the future. A return
of high inflation rates may result in an increase in overall interest rates which may adversely affect our results of
operations. High rates of inflation in the Indian economy could impact the results of our operations, by leading
to a lower demand for our home loans. High inflation rates may also adversely affect growth in the Indian
economy and our operating expenses.
160
Risk Management Architecture
In order to address the risks that are inherent to our business, we have developed a risk management architecture
that includes monitoring by our Board through committees including the Audit Committee, the Asset Liability
Management Committee and the Risk Management Committee.
Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee is authorized to select and establish accounting policies,
review reports of the statutory and the internal auditors and meet with them to discuss their findings,
suggestions and other related matters. It also conducts a scrutiny of inter-corporate loans and
investments and evaluates internal financial controls and risk management systems and procedures
periodically.
Asset Liability Management Committee. The Asset Liability Management Committee evaluates
liquidity and other risks, devises strategies to mitigate such risks and reports its findings to our Board.
It lays down policies and quantitative limits relating to assets and liabilities, based on an assessment of
the various risks involved in managing them. Its scope includes liquidity risk management,
management of market risks, and funding and capital planning.
Risk Management Committee. The Risk Management Committee was formed to supervise, guide, review
and identify current and emerging risks, develop risk assessment and measurement systems and establish
policies, practices and other control mechanisms to manage risks, develop risk tolerance limits for approval
by our Board and senior management, and monitor positions against approved risk tolerance limits.
Information Technology
Our business is dependent on our information technology systems and we intend to continue to make
investments in such systems, including our backup systems, to improve our operational efficiency, customer
service and decision making process and to reduce the risk of system failures as well as the negative impacts
these failures may have on our business.
We currently utilize an enterprise-wide loan management system, OmniFin, to provide an integrated platform
for loan processing, credit processing, credit management, general ledger, debt management and reporting.
OmniFin, which is a scalable platform, also assists us with automation of loan origination system, credit
underwriting process, underwriting rule engine, deviation triggers to minimize human errors, branch accounting
system and maintaining customer history.
We have invested in analytical platforms such as SAS to enable data backed decision making and develop a
comprehensive information management system. We utilize our analytics platform to maintain different
templates of customer profiles and increase business while managing risks. Through this platform, several
management information system reports are generated, including on an automated basis, which helps us
optimize our operations.
We have implemented an online payment gateway on our website to enable our customers to make their
payments via debit cards. We utilize a mobile application through which almost all our leads are recorded,
which assists us in the monitoring and tracking of leads from an early stage and a portion of the credit appraisal
memorandum is completed through this application itself. We also use an application for the geo tagging of
properties, which has helped us reduce our turn around time for approving loans, as well as achieve a higher
accuracy in determining the loan-to-value ratio.
Further, all our branches and our corporate office are linked through a central data base platform that enhances
data management, strengthens service delivery and serves customers in an efficient manner. We conduct real
time tracking of our collections personnel and have provided them with hand held devices to enable them to
issue e-receipts to our customers. At our branches, we have installed a three layered multiprotocol label
switching security, which helps us prevent any unauthorized access to our network, manage network
broadcasting and provides security from spoofing attacks. We have also set us two disaster recovery sites at
Jaipur and Pune.
161
Intellectual Property
We have three trademarks, each under class 36 granted by the Registrar of Trademarks under the Trademarks
Act. Two of our trademarks have been assigned to us by AuSFB, pursuant to a deed of assignment dated
February 5, 2016. For details on the assignment of the trademarks by AuSFB, see “History and Certain
Corporate Matters – Summary of material agreements” on page 178.
Marketing
Our marketing initiatives include product promotion activities and referral programs. We seek to attract
customers and build our brand through customer literacy programs, sponsor popular events in the regions we
operate, conduct roadshows and place advertisements in newspapers, hoardings, television, radio and social
media. Almost all our customers are sourced directly by us.
Competition
The housing finance industry in India is highly competitive. We face competition from other HFCs, NBFCs as
well as scheduled commercial banks. We generally compete on the basis of the range of product offerings,
interest rates, fees and customer service, as well as for skilled employees, with our competitors. Our primary
competitors include GRUH Finance Limited, Aadhar Housing Finance Limited, Dewan Housing Finance
Corporation Limited, India Shelter Finance Corporation Limited and GIC Housing Finance Limited. For further
details, see “Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors – The Indian housing finance industry is highly competitive
and our inability to compete effectively could adversely our business and results of operations” on page 20.
Insurance
We maintain insurance policies that we believe are customary for companies operating in our industry. Our
principal types of coverage include business protector insurance, corporate guard- crime manager insurance,
cyber risk protector insurance, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, fidelity insurance, group mediclaim
insurance, group personal accident insurance, group term insurance, health insurance, money insurance and
public liability insurance. In addition, we have a money insurance policy pertaining to cash in safes and in
transit. Our insurance policies may not be sufficient to cover our economic loss. For further details, see “Risk
Factors – Internal Risk Factors - Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient or may not adequately
protect us against all material hazards, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition” on page 31.
Employees
As of June 30, 2018, we had 1,996 employees. As part of our human resource initiatives, we have implemented
several programs to engage with our employees. Some of our key programs include ‘NEEV’, which is a three
day compulsory training and development platform to help new employees develop a basic business
understanding, while our ‘LEAD’ platform has been designed to assist first and second line managers develop
key leadership skills. We also introduced the ‘Pehla Pag’ program where we send our employees to the ICICI
Skills Academy in Jaipur for them to develop key finance industry knowledge. In addition, we conduct training
programmes on regular basis for our employees on lending operations, underwriting and due diligence, KYC
and anti-money laundering norms, risk management, information technology, and grievance redressal.
We launched our ‘Disha’ program to bridge the gap between our sales and credit teams, resulting in faster credit
appraisal and disbursement. We believe that such structured programs have helped us reduce our rate of attrition
in an industry, which is vulnerable to talent loss.
The following table sets forth our employee details as of June 30, 2018:

Companies Act 2013 and the Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility) Rules, 2014 notified by the Central
Government. We believe that our CSR initiatives contribute to our overall strategy of engaging with
communities and we have undertaken various activities towards promoting preventive healthcare and sanitation
facilities, providing employment through enhancing vocational skills and developing leadership skills, providing
assistance to trusts for the promotion of education to eradicate illiteracy and installing water coolers to provide
safe drinking water.
We have worked with foundations such as the Abhiyan Bharat Foundation in Jaipur, Rajasthan and provided
them financial assistance in order to promote educational activities. We have also worked with CORO India to
promote their grassroots leadership programme, particularly for the social and economic empowerment of
women and with the Akshay Patra Foundation for the promotion of healthcare. In addition, we work with the
Children National Institute for education and improving the lives of orphans, and the Swami Shivanand Seva
Samiti for promoting and providing medical aid facilities in the rural areas of Uttarakashi.

KEY REGULATIONS AND POLICIES IN INDIA
The following description is a summary of certain sector specific laws and regulations in India, which are
applicable to us. The information detailed in this chapter has been obtained from various statutes, regulations
and/or local legislations and the bye laws of relevant authorities that are available in the public domain. This
description may not be exhaustive, and is only intended as a substitute to provide general information to
investors, and is neither designed, nor intended as a substitute for professional legal advice. Judicial and
administrative interpretations are subject to modification or clarification by subsequent legislative, judicial or
administrative decisions. For further details see, “Government and other Approvals”, on page 449.
The statements below are based on the current provisions of Indian law, and the judicial and administrative
interpretations thereof, which are subject to change or modification by subsequent legislative, regulatory,
administrative or judicial decisions.
Our Company is a Housing Finance Company (“HFC”) with a certificate of registration granted by the NHB
and is primarily engaged in the business of providing loans and advances and rendering other forms of financial
assistance for housing activities. HFCs are companies, whether incorporated or not, which primarily transact in,
or one of their principal objectives is transacting in, the business of providing finance for housing, whether
directly or indirectly.
The National Housing Bank Act, 1987 as modified up to July 1, 2012 (the “NHB Act”)
The NHB Act establishes the NHB as the principal agency to promote HFCs in India. The ambit of the NHB
includes: (i) promoting, establishing, supporting or aiding in the promotion, establishment, and regulation of
HFCs; (ii) making loans and advances or other forms of financial assistance to HFCs, scheduled banks, state co-
operative agricultural and rural development banks or any other institution or class of institutions as may be
notified by the Government of India (the “GoI”); (iii) guaranteeing financial obligations of HFCs and
underwriting the issue of stocks, shares, debentures and other securities of HFCs; (iv) formulating schemes for
the purpose of mobilization of resources and extension of credit for housing; (v) providing guidelines to the
HFCs to ensure their growth; and (vi) providing technical and administrative assistance to HFCs.
In terms of the NHB Act and notification dated June 18, 2011 issued by NHB, every HFC is required to obtain a
certificate of registration as an HFC and have net owned funds (“NOF”) of ₹ 20 million or such other higher
amount as the NHB may specify for commencing or carrying on its business. Further, every deposit-accepting
HFC is required to invest and continue to invest in India in unencumbered approved securities valued at a price
not exceeding the current market price of securities, an amount which, at the close of business on any day, is not
less than 5% (or such higher percentage as the NHB may specify, not exceeding 25%) of the deposits
outstanding at the close of business on the last working day of the second preceding quarter.
Additionally, every HFC is required to maintain an account in India, with a scheduled bank in term deposits or
certificate of deposits (free of charge or lien) or in deposits with the NHB or by way of subscription to the bonds
issued by the NHB, or partly in such account or in such deposit or partly by way of such subscription, a sum

NHB Master Circular - Housing Finance Companies (NHB) Directions, 2010, dated July 2, 2018, as updated
up to June 30, 2018 (the “NHB Directions”)
164
The NHB Directions consolidate and issue directions in relation to the acceptance of deposits by HFCs,
prescribe prudential norms for income recognition, accounting standards, asset classification, provision for bad
and doubtful assets, capital adequacy and concentration of credit/ investment to be observed by HFCs and the
matters to be included in the statutory auditors’ report by statutory auditors of HFCs.
Income Recognition
The NHB Directions require that income recognition be based on recognized accounting principles. Income
including interest, discount, hire charges, lease rentals or any other charges on non-performing assets (“NPA”)
shall be recognized only when it is actually realised. Any such income recognized before the asset became NPA
and remaining unrealized shall be reversed. Further, income from dividend on shares of corporate bodies and
units of mutual funds shall be taken into account on cash basis. However, the income from dividend on shares of
corporate bodies may be taken into account on an accrual basis when such dividend has been declared by the
corporate body in its annual general meeting and the right to receive payment is established. Income from bonds
and debentures of corporate bodies and from Government securities or bonds may be taken into account on an
accrual basis provided that the interest rate on these instruments is pre-determined and interest is serviced
regularly and is not in arrears. Income on securities of corporate bodies or public sector undertakings, the
payment of interest and repayment of principal of which have been guaranteed by the Central Government or a
State Government, may be taken into account on accrual basis.
Asset Classification
Every HFC shall, after taking into account the degree of well-defined credit weaknesses and extent of
dependence on collateral security for realization, classify its lease or hire purchase assets, loans and advances
and any other forms of credit into standard assets, sub-standard assets, doubtful assets, and loss assets. Standard
assets are assets in respect of which no default in repayment of principal or payment of interest is perceived and
which do not disclose any problem, nor carry more than the normal risk attached to the business. An asset is
classified as NPA when the interest on such asset has remained overdue for a period of more than 90 days. The
class of assets shall not be upgraded merely as a result of rescheduling, unless it satisfies the conditions required
for the upgrade. Sub-standard assets are assets which have been classified as NPA for a period of up to 12
months. Assets in respect of which the terms of the agreement regarding interest or principal have been re-
negotiated or rescheduled after release of any instalment of loan or an inter corporate deposit which has been
rolled over shall be termed as sub-standard assets until the expiry of one year of satisfactory performance under
the re-negotiated or rescheduled terms. Doubtful assets are assets which are classified as sub-standard assets for
a period of more than 12 months. Loss assets are assets which are classified as loss assets by an HFC, or its
internal or statutory auditor or by the NHB, to the extent not written off by the HFC. Assets which are adversely
affected by a potential threat of being non recoverable due to non-availability of security, either primary or
collateral, in case of secured loans and advances are also classified as loss assets.
Provisioning
Every HFC is required to make provisions against sub-standard assets, doubtful assets and loss assets in
accordance with provisioning requirements after taking into account the time lag between an account becoming
NPA, its recognition as such, the realization of the security, and the erosion over time in the value of security
charged. Further, the provisioning requirement in respect of loans, advances and other credit facilities including
bills purchased and discounted as well as lease and hire purchase assets is as follows:
Loss assets: all assets categorized as loss assets shall be written off. However, if these assets are
permitted to remain in the HFC’s books, the entire outstanding amounts shall be provided for.
Doubtful assets: 100% of the amount should be provisioned for, to the extent to which the advance is
not covered by the realizable value, estimated on realistic basis, of the security to which the HFC has
valid recourse shall be made. Depending on the period for which the asset has remained doubtful,
provision to the extent of 25% to 100% of the secured portion should be made when the period for
which the asset has been considered as doubtful is up to one year, between one to three years and more
than three years respectively.
Sub-standard assets: general provision of 15% of total outstanding amounts should be made without
making any allowance for export credit guarantee, corporation guarantee and securities available.
165
Standard assets:
o Provision of 2% on the total outstanding amount of housing loans at teaser or special rates,
with provisioning to be reset after one year at applicable rate, if the accounts remain standard.
o General provision of 0.4% of the total outstanding amount of standard assets in respect of all
other loans, except those given at teaser or special rates and those not classified as CRE-RH or
CRE. The NHB Directions also prescribe additional provisions for hire purchase and leased
assets. Where amounts of hire charges or lease rentals are overdue for more than 12 months
and up to 24 months, 10% of the net book value shall be provisioned for, and when they are
overdue for more than 24 months and up to 36 months 40% of the net book value shall be
provisioned for. Nothing shall be provisioned for if the amounts of hire charges or lease
rentals are overdue for up to 12 months.
Capital Adequacy
HFCs shall maintain a minimum capital adequacy ratio, consisting of Tier I capital and Tier II capital not lower
than 12% of their aggregate risk weighted assets and risk adjusted value of off-balance sheet items. Total Tier II
capital at any point of time shall not exceed 100% of Tier I capital. Other conditions have been imposed on
HFCs, including the following:
No HFC may grant housing loans to individuals of up to ₹ 3 million with an LTV ratio exceeding 90%,
of between ₹ 3 million to ₹ 7.50 million with LTV ratio exceeding 80%, and above ₹7.50 million with
LTV ratio exceeding 75%.
No HFC shall invest in land or buildings, except for its own use, an amount exceeding 20% of the
aggregate of its Tier I capital and Tier II capital. Such investment over and above 10% of its owned
funds is required to be made only in residential units.
No HFC shall lend to any single borrower an amount exceeding 15% of its owned funds, and to any
single group of borrowers, an amount exceeding 25% of its owned funds.
An HFC’s aggregate exposure to the capital market in all forms should not exceed 40% of its net worth
as on March 31 of the previous year. Within this overall ceiling, direct investment in shares,
convertible bonds, debentures, units of equity-oriented mutual funds and all exposures to venture
capital funds should not exceed 20% of its net worth.
All HFCs must ensure that disbursement of housing loans sanctioned to individuals should be closely
linked to the stages of construction of the housing projects/ houses and upfront disbursal should not be
made in cases of incomplete/ under-construction/ Greenfield housing projects/ houses.
HFCs are eligible to issue non-convertible debentures only if they have NOF of ₹ 100 million as per
their last audited balance sheet.

dividend on our Equity Shares, if any, will be recommended by our Board and approved by our shareholders, at
their discretion, in accordance with provisions of our Articles of Association and applicable law, including the

interim dividends.
The dividend policy of our Company was approved and adopted by our Board on June 8, 2018. The dividend to
be paid, if any, will depend on a number of factors such as:
Internal factors: Current year’s net operating profit, capital expenditure and working capital requirements,
financial commitments with respect to the outstanding borrowings and interest thereon, financial requirement
for business expansion and/or diversification, acquisition among others of new businesses, provisioning for
financial implications arising out of unforeseen events and/or contingencies and past dividend trend.
External factors: Applicable laws and regulations including taxation laws, economic conditions and prevalent
market practices.
There is no guarantee that any dividend will be declared or paid in the future. In addition, our ability to pay
dividends may be impacted by a number of factors, including but not limited to our profits, fund requirements,
contractual obligations, the overall financial condition of our Company and restrictive covenants under the loan
or financing arrangements our Company is currently availing of or may enter into to finance our fund
requirements for our business activities. For further details, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 439.
Our Company has not declared any dividends during the last five Fiscals immediately preceding the date of this

Board deems relevant, including among other, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements,
business prospects and any other financing arrangements. For details, see “Risk Factors - Our ability to pay

AAVAS FINANCIERS LIMITED
(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
Borrowing cost includes interest and ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale
are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.
(i) Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign
currency at the date of the transaction.
(ii) Foreign currency monetary items are retranslated using the exchange rate prevailing on the close of the financial year.
(iii) Exchange differences arises on the settlement of monetary items or on reporting the Company's monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during
the year, or reported in previous financial statements, are recognised as income or as expenses in the year in which they arise.
(iv) Forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency risk of an existing asset/liability
The premium or discount arising at the inception of the forward exchange contract is amortized and recognised as an income/expense in the statement of profit and loss over the life of
the contract. Exchange difference on such contracts are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which the exchange rates change.
Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are
recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(h) Investment
Investments, which are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All
other investments are classified as long-term investments.
On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost comprises of purchase price and directly attributable acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties. If an
investment is acquired, or partly acquired, by the issue of shares or other securities, the acquisition cost is the fair value of the securities issued. If an investment is acquired in exchange
for another asset, the acquisition is determined by reference to the fair value of the asset given up or by reference to the fair value of the investment acquired, whichever is more clearly
evident.
Current investments are carried in the financial statements at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at cost.
However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.
On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss.
(i) Property, plant and equipment/Intangible Fixed Assets, Depreciation/Amortisation and Impairment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises of the purchase price and any attributable
cost of bringing the assets to its working condition for its intended use. Depreciation on fixed assets is calculated on a written down value basis using the useful lives those prescribed
under the Schedule II to the Act. The Company has used the following useful lives to provide depreciation on its fixed assets.
For the period prior to April 1, 2014, depreciation was provided on written down value method as per the rates and manner prescribed under Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956.
All fixed assets individually costing Rs. 5,000/- or less are fully depreciated in the year of installation/purchase.
Depreciation on assets acquired/sold during the year is recognised on a pro-rata basis to the statement of profit and loss from/upto the date of acquisition/sale.
Gain or loss arising from sale of fixed assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets disposed, and are recognised in the
statement of profit and loss In the period when the asset is sold.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful economic life. The Company uses a rebuttable presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will
not exceed four years from the date when the asset is available for use. If the persuasive evidence exists to the affect that useful life of an intangible asset exceeds four years, the
Company amortizes the intangible asset over the best estimate of its useful life.
Impairment of assets
The carrying amount of assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognised wherever
the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the assets, net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the
asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
230
AAVAS FINANCIERS LIMITED
(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best
estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events
beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflowof resources will be required to settle the obligation. A
contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a
contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
(k) Provision for Standard Assets and Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) / Write off
(i) Housing loans and other loans are classified as per the Housing Finance Companies (NHB) Directions, 2010 ("the NHB Directions"), into performing and non-performing assets. Further, non-
performing assets are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets and provision made based on criteria stipulated by the NHB Directions. Additional provisions are made against
all non-performing assets over and above the provisions stated in the NHB Directions, if in the opinion of the management higher provision is necessary.
Loans with principal and / or interest overdue have been classified as non performing assets, in accordance with the extant NHB Prudential Norms/Master Directions applicable to housing
finance company, and have been provided for at the following rates:
(ii) The Company maintains standard provision to cover potential credit losses, which are inherent in any loan portfolio but not identified. Provision on standard assets is made in accordance
with the extant NHB Prudential Norms/ Master Directions applicable to housing finance company.
(iii) The Company reviews the stressed cases periodically and if it considers that recovery in such assets is not probable, then it can classify such assets as “loss assets” and write off the same
in Profit and loss account.
(l) Properties acquired under Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act,2002
Upon a property being acquired under SARFAESI, the outstanding loan is settled and the acquired property is valued at reaslisable value or principal outstanding, whichver is less. Stock of
such acquired properties is shown under other current assets.
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The
Company recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expenditure, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for
service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already
paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre
payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
The Company provides gratuity benefits which is a defined benefit scheme. The cost of providing gratuity benefits is determined on the basis of actuarial valuation at each period/year-
end. Separate actuarial valuation is carried out for each plan using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in full in the period in which they occur in
the statement of profit and loss.
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absence as
the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be
carried forward beyond twelve months, as long term employee benefit for measurement purposes.
Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current income-tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961
enacted in India. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date. Current income tax relating to items
recongnised directly in equity is recongnised in equity and not in statement of profit and loss.
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income originating during the current year and reversal of timing differences for
the earlier years. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible timing differences only to the extent that there is reasonable
certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations where the Company has unabsorbed depreciation or
carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realized against future taxable profits.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set-off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and
deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
At each reporting date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or
virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
231
AAVAS FINANCIERS LIMITED
(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured using the intrinsic value method and recognised, together with a corresponding increase in the “Stock options outstanding account” in
reserves. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and
the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit recognised in the statement of profit and loss for a period represents the
movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense.

asset will not exceed four years from the date when the asset is available for use. If the persuasive evidence exists to the affect that useful life of an intangible asset exceeds four
years, the Group amortizes the intangible asset over the best estimate of its useful life.

The carrying amount of assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognised
wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the assets, net selling price and value in use. In assessing
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of
money and risks specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an
appropriate valuation model is used.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
A provision is recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best
estimates.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future
events beyond the control of the Group or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflowof resources will be required to settle the
obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Group does
not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
(j) Provision for Standard Assets and Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) / Write off
(i) Housing loans and other loans are classified as per the Housing Finance Companies (NHB) Directions, 2010 ("the NHB Directions"), into performing and non-performing assets.
Further, non-performing assets are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets and provision made based on criteria stipulated by the NHB Directions. Additional
provisions are made against all non-performing assets over and above the provisions stated in the NHB Directions, if in the opinion of the management higher provision is
necessary.
Loans with principal and / or interest overdue have been classified as non performing assets, in accordance with the extant NHB Prudential Norms/Master Directions applicable
to housing finance company, and have been provided for at the following rates:

AAVAS FINANCIERS LIMITED
(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
(ii) The Company maintains standard provision to cover potential credit losses, which are inherent in any loan portfolio but not identified. Provision on standard assets is made in
accordance with the extant NHB Prudential Norms/ Master Directions applicable to housing finance company.
(iii) The Company reviews the stressed cases periodically and if it considers that recovery in such assets is not probable, then it can classify such assets as “loss assets” and write off
the same in Profit and loss account.
(k) Properties acquired under Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act,2002
Upon a property being acquired under SARFAESI, the outstanding loan is settled and the acquired property is valued at reaslisable value or principal outstanding, whichver is less.
Stock of such acquired properties is shown under other current assets.
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Group has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The
Group recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expenditure, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the
scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the
contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as an asset
to the extent that the pre payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
The Group provides gratuity benefits which is a defined benefit scheme. The cost of providing gratuity benefits is determined on the basis of actuarial valuation at each
period/year-end. Separate actuarial valuation is carried out for each plan using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in full in the period in
which they occur in the statement of profit and loss.
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Group measures the expected cost of such
absence as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. The Group treats accumulated leave
expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long term employee benefit for measurement purposes.
Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current income-tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income Tax
Act, 1961 enacted in India. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date. Current income
tax relating to items recongnised directly in equity is recongnised in equity and not in statement of profit and loss.
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income originating during the current year and reversal of timing
differences for the earlier years. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible timing differences only to the extent that there is
reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations where the Group has unabsorbed
depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realized against
future taxable profits.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set-off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets
and deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
At each reporting date, the Group re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become reasonably
certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.

Report on the Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements of Aavas Financiers Limited
(“the Company”), which comprise the standalone Balance Sheet as at June 30, 2018, the Statement of Profit and Loss,
Cash Flow Statement and statement of changes in equity for the three month period ended June 30, 2018, and a summary
of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (together hereinafter referred to as “Special Purpose
Interim Standalone Financial Statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the accompanying Special
Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements as at and for the three month period ended June 30, 2018, are
prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation described in Note B to these Special
Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities
for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with
the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that
are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) and the
Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the
Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion on the Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements.
Emphasis of Matter
a. We draw attention to Note B. (vi) to the accompanying Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements,
which describes the basis of preparation and presentation and states that the comparative statement of profit and
loss, cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 have
not been included in these Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements and that only a complete set of
financial statements together with comparative financial information can provide a fair presentation of the
Company’s state of affairs (financial position), profit (financial performance including other comprehensive income),
cash flows and the changes in equity.
b. We further draw attention to Note B. (vii) to the accompanying Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial
Statements which describes the possibility that the accounting policies adopted by the management in preparing
these financial statements may undergo a change upon the Company preparing and presenting a complete set of
Ind AS compliant financial statements.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial
Statements in accordance with the basis of preparation given in Note B to these Special Purpose Interim Standalone
Financial Statements. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with
the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and
other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that
are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial control
that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the
preparation and presentation of the Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the special purpose
interim consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
296
Aavas Financiers Limited
Auditor’s Report on Special Purpose Financial Statements for three months ended June 30, 2018 Page 2 of 3
In preparing the Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial
Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial
Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the
financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on
the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may
cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during
our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
Other matters
a. The Company has prepared a separate set of special purpose interim standalone financial statements for the three
month period ended June 30, 2018 in accordance with the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and the Companies (Accounting

A. Corporate Information

domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The Company is registered with National Housing
Bank (NHB) vide Registration No. 04.0151.17 and is engaged in the long term financing activity in the domestic markets to provide
housing finance.
a) Basis of preparation
(i) The Company’s management had previously issued its audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018 on
April 27, 2018 that were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’) read with Rule 7 of the Companies
(Accounts) Rules, 2014 and the Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016 ('Indian GAAP’).
(ii) Further, in accordance with the SEBI Circular SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL/CIR/P/2016/47 dated March 31, 2016, the Company’s
management has prepared special purpose interim standalone financial statements for the three months period ended June
30, 2018 in accordance with Indian GAAP for preparation of the restated standalone summary statements to be included in
the offer document, prepared by the Company in connection with its proposed Initial Public Offer of equity shares of face
value of Rs.10 each (‘IPO’).
(iii) With effect from April 1, 2018, the Company is required to prepare its financial statements under the Indian Accounting
Standards (‘Ind AS’) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,
2015, as amended (‘Ind AS Rules’).
(iv) The Company’s management has now prepared these Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements which
comprise the Balance Sheets as at June 30, 2018, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Statement of Cash Flows and the
Statement of changes in equity for the three months period ended June 30, 2018 and a summary of the significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information (together hereinafter referred to as “Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial

(v) These Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared solely in connection with the Company’s

proposed IPO.
(vi) These Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and
measurement principles of the Ind AS framework. However, all disclosures as required under Ind AS have not been furnished

statement and the statement for changes in equity for the three months period ended June 30, 2017) has not been presented
in these Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements. Only a complete set of financial statements together with

(financial performance including other comprehensive income), cash flows and the changes in equity.
(vii) The Company will prepare and issue its first complete Ind AS financial statements as at and for the year ending March 31,

through March 31, 2019 effecting the Ind AS balances in these financial statements; and (c) if the Company makes any

set out in the Schedule III to the Act. The Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the above purpose.
b) Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis as a going concern and under the historical cost convention, except for
derivative instruments that are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting date as required under relevant Ind AS.
303
AAVAS FINANCIERS LIMITED
(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
Notes to Special Purpose Interim Standalone financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2018
The preparation of Standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make judgments, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current
events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to
the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.
Cash and cash equivalent comprises cash in hand, demand deposits and time deposits with original maturity of less than three months
held with bank, debit balance in cash credit account and balance in franking machine.
The Company calculates interest income by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of financial assets other than credit-impaired
assets. When a financial asset becomes credit-impaired and is, therefore, regarded as ‘Stage 3’, the Company calculates interest income
by applying the effective interest rate to the net amortised cost of the financial asset. If the financial assets cures and is no longer
credit-impaired, the Company reverts to calculating interest income on a gross basis.
d) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when
shareholders approve the dividend.
1.4 Foreign currency
The Company’s financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR) which is also the Company’s functional currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date
the transaction first qualifies for recognition.
Income and expenses in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the
transaction.
Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the
reporting date and exchange gains and losses arising on settlement and restatement are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the
dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange
rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value
is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items
whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in OCI or profit or loss are also recognized in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).

(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
Notes to Special Purpose Interim Standalone financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2018
Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor are recognized as
operating leases. The Company has ascertained that the payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general
inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases and therefore, the lease payments are recognized as per
terms of the lease agreement in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
On transition to Ind AS, the company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets as at 31 March 2017, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the
st
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as on 1 April 2017.
PPE
PPE are stated at cost (including incidental expenses directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended
use) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of
bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure related to PPE is capitalized only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Company and the cost of item can be measured reliably.
Other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed off as and when incurred.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss when
the asset is derecognised.
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are
carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided over the useful life of the asset as per Schedule-II of Companies Act 2013 and depreciation rates have been
worked out by applying written down value method. The Company has used the following useful lives to provide depreciation on its
PPE.
All fixed assets individually costing Rs. 5,000/- or less are fully depreciated in the year of installation/purchase.
Amortization
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful economic life. The Company considers that the useful
life of an intangible asset will not exceed four years from the date when the asset is available for use. If the persuasive evidence exists
to the affect that useful life of an intangible asset exceeds four years, the Company amortizes the intangible asset over the best
estimate of its useful life.

The carrying amount of assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external
factors. An impairment loss is recognised wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable
amount is the greater of the assets, net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and
risks specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such
transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
1.9 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable
that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made
of the amount of the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is
recognised as a finance cost.
The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements Contingent liability is
disclosed in the case of:
A present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will not be required to settle
the obligation
A present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible
A possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote
Contingent assets are not recognised. A contingent asset is disclosed, as required by Ind AS 37, where an inflow of economic benefits is
probable.
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation, other than the
contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense,
when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet
date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution
already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then
excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash
refund.
The Company provides gratuity benefits which is a defined benefit scheme. The cost of providing gratuity benefits is determined on the
basis of actuarial valuation at each year end. Separate actuarial valuation is carried out for each plan using the projected unit credit
method.
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on
the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit
liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the
period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of:
The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises the
following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:
Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements;
and
Net interest expense or income

Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The
Company measures the expected cost of such absence as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused
entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond
twelve months, as long term employee benefit for measurement purposes.
1.12 Taxes
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities
in accordance with Income tax Act, 1961. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or
substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive
income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax
losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the
deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable
that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax
assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits
will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the
liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive
income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current
tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to
the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Equity-settled share based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity
instruments at the grant date. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equity-settled share based payments transactions
are set out in Note 23.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share based payments is expensed on a straight line basis over the
vesting period, based on the Company`s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in
equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The
impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss such that the cumulative expenses
307
AAVAS FINANCIERS LIMITED
(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
Notes to Special Purpose Interim Standalone financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2018
reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the Share Based Payments Reserve.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of
another entity.
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
Debt instruments at amortised cost
Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Debt instruments and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)
on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR)
method less impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs
that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in interest income in the statement of profit or loss. The losses
arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
A ‘debt instrument’ is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:
The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and
The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value
movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the Company recognizes interest income, impairment
losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the P&L. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously
recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to P&L. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest
income using the EIR method.
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at
amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
In addition, the company may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at
308
AAVAS FINANCIERS LIMITED
(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
Notes to Special Purpose Interim Standalone financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2018
FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to
as ‘accounting mismatch’). Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized
in the P&L.
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading classified as at
FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income
subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is
made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends,
are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to P&L, even on sale of investment. However, the company
may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the P&L.
Financial liabilities are classified and measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as
held-for trading or it is designated as on initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of
loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative
financial instruments.
1.15.2.2 Classification and Subsequent measurement - Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon
initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the
purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the company that
are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also
classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of
recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to
changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/ loss are not subsequently transferred to P&L. However, the company may
transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of
profit and loss.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method.
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of
the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss. This category generally applies to
borrowings.
The Company holds derivative to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures as well as interest
fluctuations. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank.
This category has derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges. Any derivative that is not designated a
hedge is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss.
309
AAVAS FINANCIERS LIMITED
(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
Notes to Special Purpose Interim Standalone financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2018
Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in net profit
in the Statement of Profit and Loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value
through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in Statement of Profit and Loss. Assets/liabilities in this
category are presented as current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12
months after the balance sheet date.
The company doesn’t reclassify its financial assets subsequent to their initial recognition, apart from the exceptional circumstances in
which the company acquires, disposes of, or terminates a business line. Financial liabilities are never reclassified.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when the
rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired. The Company also derecognises the financial asset if it has transferred
the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for de recognition.
The Company has transferred the financial asset if, and only if, either:
It has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset
Or
It retains the rights to the cash flows, but has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay
to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement
Pass-through arrangements are transactions whereby the Company retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of a financial
asset (the 'original asset'), but assumes a contractual obligation to pay those cash flows to one or more entities (the 'eventual
recipients'), when all of the following three conditions are met:
The Company has no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipients unless it has collected equivalent amounts from the
original asset, excluding short-term advances with the right to full recovery of the amount lent plus accrued interest at market
rates.
The Company cannot sell or pledge the original asset other than as security to the eventual recipients.
The Company has to remit any cash flows it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients without material delay.
In addition, the Company is not entitled to reinvest such cash flows, except for investments in cash or cash equivalents including
interest earned, during the period between the collection date and the date of required remittance to the eventual recipients.
When the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards and has retained control of the asset,
the asset continues to be recognised only to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement, in which case, the Company also
recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and
obligations that the Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying
amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration the Company could be required to pay.
If continuing involvement takes the form of a written or purchased option (or both) on the transferred asset, the continuing
involvement is measured at the value the Company would be required to pay upon repurchase. In the case of a written put option on an
asset that is measured at fair value, the extent of the entity's continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the
transferred asset and the option exercise price.

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial
liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms or the terms of an existing liability are substantially
modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability.
The difference between the carrying value of the original financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.
The ECL allowance is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset (the lifetime expected credit loss or LTECL),
unless there has been no significant increase in credit risk since origination, in which case, the allowance is based on the 12 months’
expected credit loss (12mECL) as outlined in Note 1.16.2). The Company’s policies for determining if there has been a significant
increase in credit risk are set out in Note 4(b)(4)(v).
The 12mECL is the portion of LTECLs that represent the ECLs that result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible
within the 12 months after the reporting date.
Both LTECLs and 12mECLs are calculated on collective basis, depending on the nature of the underlying portfolio of financial
instruments. The Company’s policy for grouping financial assets measured on a collective basis is explained in Note 4(b)(4)(vi).
The Company has established a policy to perform an assessment, at the end of each reporting period, of whether a financial
instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. This is further explained in Note 4(b)(4)(v).
Based on the above process, the Company groups its loans into Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, as described below:
Stage 1: When loans are first recognised, the Company recognises an allowance based on 12mECLs. Stage 1 loans also include
facilities where the credit risk has improved and the loan has been reclassified from Stage 2 or Stage 3.
Stage 2: When a loan has shown a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the company records an allowance for the
LTECLs. Stage 2 loans also include facilities, where the credit risk has improved and the loan has been reclassified from Stage 3.
Stage 3: Loans considered credit-impaired (as outlined in Note 4(b)(4)(i). The Company records an allowance for the LTECLs.
For financial assets for which the company has no reasonable expectations of recovering either the entire outstanding amount, or a
proportion thereof, the gross carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced. This is considered a (partial) derecognition of the
financial asset.
The Company calculates ECLs based on a probability-weighted scenarios and historical data to measure the expected cash shortfalls,
discounted at an approximation to the EIR. A cash shortfall is the difference between the cash flows that are due to an entity in
accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive.
The mechanics of the ECL calculations are outlined below and the key elements are, as follows:
PD - The Probability of Default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. A default may only happen at a
certain time over the assessed period, if the facility has not been previously derecognised and is still in the portfolio. The concept
of PDs is further explained in Note 4(b)(4)(ii).
EAD - The Exposure at Default is an exposure at a default date. The EAD is further explained in Note 4(b)(4)(iii).
LGD - The Loss Given Default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based on the
difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, including from the
realisation of any collateral. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the EAD. The LGD is further explained in Note 4(b)(4)(iv).
The maximum period for which the credit losses are determined is the expected life of a financial instrument.
Provisions for ECLs for undrawn loan commitments are assessed as set out in Note 4(b)(3).
311
AAVAS FINANCIERS LIMITED
(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
Notes to Special Purpose Interim Standalone financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2018
Stage 1: The 12mECL is calculated as the portion of LTECLs that represent the ECLs that result from default events on a financial
instrument that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date. The Company calculates the 12mECL allowance based
on the expectation of a default occurring in the 12 months following the reporting date. These expected 12-month default
probabilities are applied to an EAD and multiplied by the expected LGD.
Stage 2: When a loan has shown a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the Company records an allowance for the
LTECLs. The mechanics are similar to those explained above, but PDs and LGDs are estimated over the lifetime of the instrument.
Stage 3: For loans considered credit-impaired (as defined in Note 4(b)(4)(i)), the Company recognizes the lifetime expected credit
losses for these loans. The method is similar to that for Stage 2 assets, with the PD set at 100%.
Loan commitments: When estimating LTECLs for undrawn loan commitments, the Company estimates the expected portion of
the loan commitment that will be drawn down over its expected life. The ECL is then based on the present value of the expected
shortfalls in cash flows if the loan is drawn down. The expected cash shortfalls are discounted at an approximation to the
expected EIR on the loan.
Housing market has a significant macroeconomic impact. Home building is an important portion of GDP growth. Housing activity has a
direct impact on the level of employment and income of people in an economy in view of its large potential for employment. It is,
therefore, identified as a key contributor for the growth and development of an economy.
Interest rate, income, GDP growth and house prices are inseparable relationship with each other.
Unemployment rates: With increased migration of population into semi urban & Urban areas and traction for construction giving
a positive move to employment into housing segment. Our majority of clients are self-employed has higher employability and
salaried class are contributor to the allied services in the segment we cater. Unemployment would thinner the housing sector and
the markets with higher ticket sizes demand will be impacted more, where we tend not to have an adverse effect in imminent
period.
GDP growth: GDP growth however increase overall demand in the market which will lead higher investment in housing sector
which will also be further pushed by the increasing Govt focus on this segment. However a slower growth on GDP is not expected
to affect us as majority of our clients are just above the bottom of the pyramid they are mostly into cash and carry business so
macro level changes does not impact much.
Interest rate: Interest rate increase have an adverse effect on investment on housing. Periodically we study and analyze the affect
to have a sense over business. As our significant client base are New to credit and located into unserved and unreached markets
allows us to risk the price accordingly and do not impact much. Low income and end used customer base gives us further leaver as
demand fluctuates due to hike in interest rates.
In its normal course of business, the company does not physically repossess properties or other assets in its retail portfolio, but
generally engages external agents to recover funds generally at auctions to settle outstanding debt. Any surplus funds are returned to
the customers/obligors. As a result of this practice, the residential properties under legal repossession processes are not recorded on
the balance sheet and are treated as current assets held for sale, at (i) fair value less cost to sell or (ii) principle outstanding, whichever
is less, at the repossession date.
1.16.5 Write-offs
Financial assets are written off either partially or in their entirety only when the Company has stopped pursuing the recovery. If the
amount to be written off is greater than the accumulated loss allowance, the difference is first treated as an addition to the allowance
that is then applied against the gross carrying amount. Any subsequent recoveries are credited to profit and loss account.

The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date using valuation techniques.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or
transfer the liability takes place either:
In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or
liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by
using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best
use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to
measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
1.18 Dividend
The Company recognises a liability to make cash distributions to equity holders when the distribution is authorised and the distribution
is no longer at the discretion of the Company. Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the
shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The references below show where the Company’s impairment assessment and measurement approach is set out in these notes. It should be read in conjunction with the Summary of
significant accounting policies.
The Company considers a financial instrument as defaulted and considered it as Stage 3 (credit-impaired) for ECL calculations in all cases, when the borrower becomes 90 days past due
on its contractual payments.
Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company’s main income generating activity
is lending to customers and therefore credit risk is a principal risk. Credit risk mainly arises from loans and advances to customers , investments in debt securities and derivatives that are
an asset position. The Company considers all elements of credit risk exposure such as counterparty default risk, geographical risk and sector risk for risk management purposes.
The exposure at default (EAD) represents the gross carrying amount of the financial instruments subject to the impairment calculation, addressing both the client’s ability to increase its
exposure while approaching default and potential early repayments too.
To calculate the EAD for a Stage 1 loan, the Company assesses the possible default events within 12 months for the calculation of the 12mECL. For Stage 2 and Stage 3 financial assets,
the exposure at default is considered for events over the lifetime of the instruments.
The Company segments its retail lending products into smaller homogeneous portfolios (housing and non housing), based on key characteristics that are relevant to the estimation of
future cash flows. The data applied is collected loss data and involves a wider set of transaction characteristics (e.g., product type, wider range of collateral types) as well as borrower
characteristics.
The Company continuously monitors all assets subject to ECLs. In order to determine whether an instrument or a portfolio of instruments is subject to 12mECL or LTECL, the Company
assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. The Company considers an exposure to have significantly increased in credit risk when
contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.
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.
As explained in Note 1.16, the Company calculates ECLs on collective basis on following asset classes:
- Housing-Salaried lending
- Housing-Self Employed lending
- Non Housing-Salaried lending
- Non Housing-Self Employed lending
The Company groups these exposure into smaller homogeneous portfolios, based on a combination of internal and external characteristics of the loans, as described below:
4(a)(5) The Company uses forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort in its assessment of significant increase of credit risk as well as in its measurement
of ECL.

connection with its proposed Initial Public Offer of equity shares of face value of Rs.10 each (‘IPO’).
(iii) With effect from April 1, 2018, the Company is required to prepare its financial statements under the Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS’) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended (‘Ind AS Rules’).

Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of changes in equity for the three months period ended June 30, 2018 and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information

(vi) These Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of the Ind AS framework. However, all disclosures as

changes in the elections and/or exemptions selected on adoption of Ind AS at its transition date of April 1, 2017.
Exemptions applied
Ind AS 101 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the retrospective application of certain requirements under Ind AS. The Company has applied the following exemptions/exceptions:
Use of Estimates
The estimates at April 1, 2017, March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 are consistent with those made for the same dates in accordance with Indian GAAP apart from the following adjustments, where application of
Indian GAAP did not require estimation:
- Fair valuation of financials instruments carried at FVTPL
- Impairment of financial assets based on Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model
- Determination of discounted value for financial instruments carried at amortized cost
The estimates used by the Company to present these amounts in accordance with Ind AS reflect conditions at April 1, 2017 the date of transition to Ind AS, and as of March 31, 2018.
Mandatory exemptions
The Company has classified the financial assets in accordance with Ind AS 109 on the basis of facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS.

the credit risk at the date that financial assets were initially recognized and compared that to the credit risk as at April 1, 2017.
Optional exemptions
Appendix C to Ind AS 17 requires an entity to assess whether a contract or arrangement contains a lease. In accordance with Ind AS 17, this assessment should be carried out at the inception of the contract or
arrangement. However, the Company has used Ind AS 101 exemption and assessed all arrangements based for embedded leases based on conditions in place as at the date of transition

vi Deferred tax
Indian GAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits
and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS 12 requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which
focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. The application
of Ind AS 12 approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences which was not required under Indian GAAP.
In addition, the various transitional adjustments lead to temporary differences. According to the accounting policies, the Group has to
account for such differences. Deferred tax adjustments are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained
earnings or a separate component of equity. On the date of transition, the net impact on deferred tax liabilities is of negative Rs. 4.07
millions (June 30, 2018: negative 31.77 millions).
Ind AS does not require the creation of DTL on the amount transferred to the Special Reserve. Accordingly, DTL created on special reserve as
at March 31, 2017 is reversed and the charge through the Statement of Profit and Loss Account in earlier years is also reversed.
x Figures under previous GAAP have been regrouped/ reclassified for Ind AS purpose wherever applicable.

29 Capital management:
For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the
equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is safety and security of share capital and maximize the
shareholder value.
The Company manages its capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. The company monitors
capital using a gearing ratio, which is total debt divided by net worth. The Company’s policy is to keep the gearing ratio at reasonable level of 6-8 times in
imminent period while the Housing Finance Companies (National Housing Bank) Directions, 2010 (the “NHB Directions”) currently permits HFCs to borrow up to
16 times of their net owned funds (“NOF”). The Company includes with in debt, its all interest bearing loans and borrowings.
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 that define capital structure requirements. 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
period.
The Company’s Principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the company’s operations.
At the other hand company’s Principal financial assets include loans and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
As a lending institution, Company is exposed to various risks that are related to lending business and operating environment. The Principal Objective in
Company 's risk management processes is to measure and monitor the various risks that Company is subject to and to follow policies and procedures to address
such risks. Company 's risk management framework is driven by Board and its subcommittees including the Audit Committee, the Asset Liability Management
Committee and the Risk Management Committee. Company gives due importance to prudent lending practices and have implemented suitable measures for
risk mitigation, which include verification of credit history from credit information bureaus, personal verification of a customer’s business and residence,
technical and legal verifications, conservative loan to value, and required term cover for insurance. The major types of risk Company face in businesses are
liquidity risk, credit risk, interest rate risk.
Liquidity Risk refers to the risk that the company can not meet its financial obligations. The objective of Liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient
liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirement. The unavailability of adequate amount of funds at optimum cost and co-terminus tenure
to repay the financial liabilities and further growth of business resultantly may face an Asset Liability Management (ALM) mismatch caused by a difference in
the maturity profile of Company assets and liabilities. This risk may arise from the unexpected increase in the cost of funding an asset portfolio at the
appropriate maturity and the risk of being unable to liquidate a position in a timely manner and at a reasonable price. The Company manages liquidity risk by
maintaining adequate cash reserves and undrwan credit facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity
profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Loan Commitments:
Due to the very nature of housing finance, the company is exposed to moderate to higher Interest Rate Risk. This risk has a major impact on the balance sheet as
well as the income statement of the company. Interest Rate Risk arises due to:
i) Changes in Regulatory or Market Conditions affecting the interest rates
ii) Short term volatility
iii) Prepayment risk translating into a reinvestment risk
iv) Real interest rate risk.
In short run, change in interest rate affects Company’s earnings (measured by NII or NIM) and in long run it affects Market Value of Equity (MVE) or net worth. It
is essential for the company to not only quantify the interest rate risk but also to manage it proactively. The company mitigates its interest rate risk by keeping a
balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings. Further company carries out Earnings at risk analysis and maturity gap analysis at quarterly
intervals to quantify the risk.

A. Corporate Information
AAVAS FINANCIERS LIMITED (formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED") ("the Company") is a public limited Company
domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The Company is registered with National Housing
Bank (NHB) vide Registration No. 04.0151.17 and is engaged in the long term financing activity in the domestic markets to provide
housing finance.
a) Basis of preparation
(i) The Company’s management had previously issued its audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018 on April
27, 2018 that were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting
Standards specified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’) read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts)
Rules, 2014 and the Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016 ('Indian GAAP’).
(ii) With effect from April 1, 2018, the Company is required to prepare its financial statements under the Indian Accounting
Standards (‘Ind AS’) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,
2015, as amended (‘Ind AS Rules’).
(iii) The Company’s management has now prepared these Special Purpose Standalone Financial Statements which comprise the
Balance Sheets as at March 31, 2018 and opening Balance sheet as at April 1, 2017 (‘transition date Balance sheet’), the
Statement of Profit and Loss, the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of changes in equity for the year ended March 31,
2018 and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (together hereinafter referred to
as “Special Purpose Standalone Financial Statements”).
(iv) These Special Purpose Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared solely in connection with the Company’s
conversion to the Ind AS framework for inclusion in the offer document, prepared by the Company in connection with its
proposed Initial Public Offer of equity shares of face value of Rs.10 each.
(v) These Special Purpose Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and
measurement principles of the Ind AS framework. However, all disclosures as required under Ind AS have not been furnished in
these Special Purpose Standalone Financial Statements. Accordingly, the relevant comparative financial information as at and
for the year ended March 31, 2017 (comprising the balance sheet as at March 31, 2017 and the statement of profit and loss,
the cash flow statement and the statement for changes in equity for the year ended March 31, 2017) has not been presented in
these Special Purpose Standalone Financial Statements. Only a complete set of financial statements together with comparative
financial information can provide a fair presentation of a Company’s state of affairs (financial position), profit (financial
performance including other comprehensive income), cash flows and the changes in equity.
(vi) The Company will prepare and issue its first complete Ind AS financial statements as at and for the year ending March 31, 2019.
Until the first complete Ind AS financial statements are issued, the balances in these Special Purpose Standalone Financial
Statements are preliminary and may require adjustments if (a) there are any new Ind AS standards issued through March 31,
2019; (b) there are any amendments/modifications made to existing Ind AS standards or interpretations thereof through March
31, 2019 effecting the balances in these financial statements; and (c) if the Company makes any changes in the elections and/or
exemptions selected on adoption of Ind AS at its transition date of April 1, 2017.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's normal operating cycle and other criteria
set out in the Schedule III to the Act. The Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the above purpose.
b) Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis as a going concern and under the historical cost convention, except for
derivative instruments that are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting date as required under relevant Ind AS.
351
AAVAS FINANCIERS LIMITED
(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
Notes to Special Purpose Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
The preparation of Standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make judgments, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current
events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to
the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.
Cash and cash equivalent comprises cash in hand, demand deposits and time deposits with original maturity of less than three months
held with bank, debit balance in cash credit account and balance in franking machine.
The Company calculates interest income by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of financial assets other than credit-impaired
assets. When a financial asset becomes credit-impaired and is, therefore, regarded as ‘Stage 3’, the Company calculates interest income
by applying the effective interest rate to the net amortised cost of the financial asset. If the financial assets cures and is no longer
credit-impaired, the Company reverts to calculating interest income on a gross basis.
d) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when
shareholders approve the dividend
The Company’s financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR) which is also the Company’s functional currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date
the transaction first qualifies for recognition.
Income and expenses in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the
transaction.
Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the
reporting date and exchange gains and losses arising on settlement and restatement are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the
dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange
rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value
352
AAVAS FINANCIERS LIMITED
(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
Notes to Special Purpose Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items
whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in OCI or profit or loss are also recognized in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).
Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor are recognized as
operating leases. The Company has ascertained that the payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general
inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases and therefore, the lease payments are recognized as per
terms of the lease agreement in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
On transition to Ind AS, the company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets as at 31 March 2017, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the
st
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as on 1 April 2017.
PPE
PPE are stated at cost (including incidental expenses directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended
use) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of
bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure related to PPE is capitalized only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Company and the cost of item can be measured reliably.
Other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed off as and when incurred.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss when
the asset is derecognised.
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are
carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided over the useful life of the asset as per Schedule-II of Companies Act 2013 and depreciation rates have been
worked out by applying written down value method. The Company has used the following useful lives to provide depreciation on its
PPE.
All fixed assets individually costing Rs. 5,000/- or less are fully depreciated in the year of installation/purchase.
353
AAVAS FINANCIERS LIMITED
(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
Notes to Special Purpose Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
Amortization
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful economic life. The Company considers that the useful
life of an intangible asset will not exceed four years from the date when the asset is available for use. If the persuasive evidence exists
to the affect that useful life of an intangible asset exceeds four years, the Company amortizes the intangible asset over the best
estimate of its useful life.
The carrying amount of assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external
factors. An impairment loss is recognised wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable
amount is the greater of the assets, net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and
risks specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such
transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
1.9 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable
that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made
of the amount of the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is
recognised as a finance cost.
The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements Contingent liability is
disclosed in the case of:
A present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will not be required to settle
the obligation
A present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible
A possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote
Contingent assets are not recognised. A contingent asset is disclosed, as required by Ind AS 37, where an inflow of economic benefits is
probable.
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation, other than the
contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense,
when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet
date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution
already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then
excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash
refund.
The Company provides gratuity benefits which is a defined benefit scheme. The cost of providing gratuity benefits is determined on the
basis of actuarial valuation at each year end. Separate actuarial valuation is carried out for each plan using the projected unit credit
method.
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on
the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit
liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the
period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
Notes to Special Purpose Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of:
The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises the
following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:
Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements;
and
Net interest expense or income
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The
Company measures the expected cost of such absence as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused
entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond
twelve months, as long term employee benefit for measurement purposes.
1.12 Taxes
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities
in accordance with Income tax Act, 1961. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or
substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive
income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax
losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the
deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable
that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax
assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits
will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the
liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive
income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current
tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to
the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

AAVAS FINANCIERS LIMITED
(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
Notes to Special Purpose Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
Equity-settled share based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity
instruments at the grant date. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equity-settled share based payments transactions
are set out in Note 23.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share based payments is expensed on a straight line basis over the
vesting period, based on the Company`s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in
equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The
impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss such that the cumulative expenses
reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the Share Based Payments Reserve.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of
another entity.
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
Debt instruments at amortised cost
Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Debt instruments and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)
on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR)
method less impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs
that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in interest income in the statement of profit or loss. The losses
arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
A ‘debt instrument’ is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:
The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and
The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value
movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the Company recognizes interest income, impairment
losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the P&L. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously
356
AAVAS FINANCIERS LIMITED
(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
Notes to Special Purpose Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to P&L. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest
income using the EIR method.
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at
amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
In addition, the company may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at
FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to
as ‘accounting mismatch’). Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized
in the P&L.
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading classified as at
FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income
subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is
made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends,
are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to P&L, even on sale of investment. However, the company
may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the P&L.
Financial liabilities are classified and measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as
held-for trading or it is designated as on initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of
loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative
financial instruments.
1.15.2.2 Classification and Subsequent measurement - Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon
initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the
purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the company that
are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also
classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of
recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to
changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/ loss are not subsequently transferred to P&L. However, the company may
transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of
profit and loss.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method.
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of
the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss. This category generally applies to
borrowings.
357
AAVAS FINANCIERS LIMITED
(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
Notes to Special Purpose Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
The Company holds derivative to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures as well as interest
fluctuations. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank.
This category has derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges. Any derivative that is not designated a
hedge is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in net profit
in the Statement of Profit and Loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value
through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in Statement of Profit and Loss. Assets/liabilities in this
category are presented as current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12
months after the balance sheet date.
The company doesn’t reclassify its financial assets subsequent to their initial recognition, apart from the exceptional circumstances in
which the company acquires, disposes of, or terminates a business line. Financial liabilities are never reclassified.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when the
rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired. The Company also derecognises the financial asset if it has transferred
the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for de recognition.
The Company has transferred the financial asset if, and only if, either:
It has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset
Or
It retains the rights to the cash flows, but has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay
to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement
Pass-through arrangements are transactions whereby the Company retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of a financial
asset (the 'original asset'), but assumes a contractual obligation to pay those cash flows to one or more entities (the 'eventual
recipients'), when all of the following three conditions are met:
The Company has no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipients unless it has collected equivalent amounts from the
original asset, excluding short-term advances with the right to full recovery of the amount lent plus accrued interest at market
rates.
The Company cannot sell or pledge the original asset other than as security to the eventual recipients.
The Company has to remit any cash flows it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients without material delay.
In addition, the Company is not entitled to reinvest such cash flows, except for investments in cash or cash equivalents including
interest earned, during the period between the collection date and the date of required remittance to the eventual recipients.
When the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards and has retained control of the asset,
the asset continues to be recognised only to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement, in which case, the Company also
recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and
obligations that the Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying
358
AAVAS FINANCIERS LIMITED
(Formerly known as "Au HOUSING FINANCE LIMITED")
Notes to Special Purpose Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018
amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration the Company could be required to pay.
If continuing involvement takes the form of a written or purchased option (or both) on the transferred asset, the continuing
involvement is measured at the value the Company would be required to pay upon repurchase. In the case of a written put option on an
asset that is measured at fair value, the extent of the entity's continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the
transferred asset and the option exercise price.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial
liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms or the terms of an existing liability are substantially
modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability.
The difference between the carrying value of the original financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.
The ECL allowance is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset (the lifetime expected credit loss or LTECL),
unless there has been no significant increase in credit risk since origination, in which case, the allowance is based on the 12 months’
expected credit loss (12mECL) as outlined in Note 1.16.2). The Company’s policies for determining if there has been a significant
increase in credit risk are set out in Note 4(b)(4)(v).
The 12mECL is the portion of LTECLs that represent the ECLs that result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible
within the 12 months after the reporting date.
Both LTECLs and 12mECLs are calculated on collective basis, depending on the nature of the underlying portfolio of financial
instruments. The Company’s policy for grouping financial assets measured on a collective basis is explained in Note 4(b)(4)(vi).
The Company has established a policy to perform an assessment, at the end of each reporting period, of whether a financial
instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. This is further explained in Note 4(b)(4)(v).
Based on the above process, the Company groups its loans into Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, as described below:
Stage 1: When loans are first recognised, the Company recognises an allowance based on 12mECLs. Stage 1 loans also include
facilities where the credit risk has improved and the loan has been reclassified from Stage 2 or Stage 3.
Stage 2: When a loan has shown a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the company records an allowance for the
LTECLs. Stage 2 loans also include facilities, where the credit risk has improved and the loan has been reclassified from Stage 3.
Stage 3: Loans considered credit-impaired (as outlined in Note 4(b)(4)(i). The Company records an allowance for the LTECLs.
For financial assets for which the company has no reasonable expectations of recovering either the entire outstanding amount, or a
proportion thereof, the gross carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced. This is considered a (partial) derecognition of the
financial asset.
The Company calculates ECLs based on a probability-weighted scenarios and historical data to measure the expected cash shortfalls,
discounted at an approximation to the EIR. A cash shortfall is the difference between the cash flows that are due to an entity in
accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive.
The mechanics of the ECL calculations are outlined below and the key elements are, as follows:
PD - The Probability of Default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. A default may only happen at a
certain time over the assessed period, if the facility has not been previously derecognised and is still in the portfolio. The concept
of PDs is further explained in Note 4(b)(4)(ii).
EAD - The Exposure at Default is an exposure at a default date. The EAD is further explained in Note 4(b)(4)(iii).

LGD - The Loss Given Default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based on the
difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, including from the
realisation of any collateral. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the EAD. The LGD is further explained in Note 4(b)(4)(iv).
The maximum period for which the credit losses are determined is the expected life of a financial instrument.
Provisions for ECLs for undrawn loan commitments are assessed as set out in Note 4(b)(3).
Stage 1: The 12mECL is calculated as the portion of LTECLs that represent the ECLs that result from default events on a financial
instrument that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date. The Company calculates the 12mECL allowance based
on the expectation of a default occurring in the 12 months following the reporting date. These expected 12-month default
probabilities are applied to an EAD and multiplied by the expected LGD.
Stage 2: When a loan has shown a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the Company records an allowance for the
LTECLs. The mechanics are similar to those explained above, but PDs and LGDs are estimated over the lifetime of the instrument.
Stage 3: For loans considered credit-impaired (as defined in Note 4(b)(4)(i)), the Company recognizes the lifetime expected credit
losses for these loans. The method is similar to that for Stage 2 assets, with the PD set at 100%.
Loan commitments: When estimating LTECLs for undrawn loan commitments, the Company estimates the expected portion of
the loan commitment that will be drawn down over its expected life. The ECL is then based on the present value of the expected
shortfalls in cash flows if the loan is drawn down. The expected cash shortfalls are discounted at an approximation to the
expected EIR on the loan.
Housing market has a significant macroeconomic impact. Home building is an important portion of GDP growth. Housing activity has a
direct impact on the level of employment and income of people in an economy in view of its large potential for employment. It is,
therefore, identified as a key contributor for the growth and development of an economy.
Interest rate, income, GDP growth and house prices are inseparable relationship with each other.
Unemployment rates: With increased migration of population into semi urban & Urban areas and traction for construction giving
a positive move to employment into housing segment. Our majority of clients are self-employed has higher employability and
salaried class are contributor to the allied services in the segment we cater. Unemployment would thinner the housing sector and
the markets with higher ticket sizes demand will be impacted more, where we tend not to have an adverse effect in imminent
period.
GDP growth: GDP growth however increase overall demand in the market which will lead higher investment in housing sector
which will also be further pushed by the increasing Govt focus on this segment. However a slower growth on GDP is not expected
to affect us as majority of our clients are just above the bottom of the pyramid they are mostly into cash and carry business so
macro level changes does not impact much.
Interest rate: Interest rate increase have an adverse effect on investment on housing. Periodically we study and analyze the affect
to have a sense over business. As our significant client base are New to credit and located into unserved and unreached markets
allows us to risk the price accordingly and do not impact much. Low income and end used customer base gives us further leaver as
demand fluctuates due to hike in interest rates.
In its normal course of business, the company does not physically repossess properties or other assets in its retail portfolio, but
generally engages external agents to recover funds generally at auctions to settle outstanding debt. Any surplus funds are returned to
the customers/obligors. As a result of this practice, the residential properties under legal repossession processes are not recorded on
the balance sheet and are treated as current assets held for sale at (i) fair value less cost to sell or (ii) principle outstanding, whichever is
less, at the repossession date.

1.16.5 Write-offs
Financial assets are written off either partially or in their entirety only when the Company has stopped pursuing the recovery. If the
amount to be written off is greater than the accumulated loss allowance, the difference is first treated as an addition to the allowance
that is then applied against the gross carrying amount. Any subsequent recoveries are credited to profit and loss account.
The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date using valuation techniques.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or
transfer the liability takes place either:
In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or
liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by
using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best
use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to
measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
1.18 Dividend
The Company recognises a liability to make cash distributions to equity holders when the distribution is authorised and the distribution
is no longer at the discretion of the Company. Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the
shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company’s main income generating
activity is lending to customers and therefore credit risk is a principal risk. Credit risk mainly arises from loans and advances to customers , investments in debt securities and
derivatives that are an asset position. The Company considers all elements of credit risk exposure such as counterparty default risk, geographical risk and sector risk for risk
management purposes..
The exposure at default (EAD) represents the gross carrying amount of the financial instruments subject to the impairment calculation, addressing both the client’s ability to
increase its exposure while approaching default and potential early repayments too.
To calculate the EAD for a Stage 1 loan, the Company assesses the possible default events within 12 months for the calculation of the 12mECL. For Stage 2 and Stage 3 financial
assets, the exposure at default is considered for events over the lifetime of the instruments.
The Company segments its retail lending products into smaller homogeneous portfolios (housing and non housing), based on key characteristics that are relevant to the estimation
of future cash flows. The data applied is collected loss data and involves a wider set of transaction characteristics (e.g., product type, wider range of collateral types) as well as
borrower characteristics.
The Company continuously monitors all assets subject to ECLs. In order to determine whether an instrument or a portfolio of instruments is subject to 12mECL or LTECL, the
Company assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. The Company considers an exposure to have significantly increased in credit
risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.
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.
As explained in Note 1.16, the Company calculates ECLs on collective basis on following asset classes:
- Housing-Salaried lending
- Housing-Self Employed lending
- Non Housing-Salaried lending
- Non Housing-Self Employed lending
The Company groups these exposure into smaller homogeneous portfolios, based on a combination of internal and external characteristics of the loans, as described below:
4(a)(5) The Company uses forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort in its assessment of significant increase of credit risk as well as in its
measurement of ECL.
4(a)(6) Collateral
The Company holds collateral or other credit enhancements to mitigate credit risk associated with financial assets.The main types of collateral and the types of assets these are
associated with are listed in the table below. The collateral presented relates to instruments that are measured at amortised cost.

(ii) Under Indian GAAP, transaction costs incurred in connection with loans and advances are amortised upfront and charged to profit or loss for the period. Under Ind AS,
transaction costs are included in the initial recognition amount of financial asset measured at amortised cost and charged to profit or loss using the effective interest method.
(iii) The Company has securtised certain assets and under Indian GAAP, it has derecognised those assets in the books. However, as per Ind AS, the Company has not transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards, the asset has been re-recognised, and the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability
are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
(iv) Under Indian GAAP, the Company has transferred certain assets to asset reconstruction company which has been de-recognised from the loan portfolio of the Company.
Under Ind AS, , the the Company has re-recognised the asser and also recognised an associated liability to the extent of the rights and obligations retained by the Company
iv Borrowings
Under Indian GAAP, transaction costs incurred in connection with borrowings are amortised upfront and charged to profit or loss for the period. Under Ind AS, transaction costs
are included in the initial recognition amount of financial liability and charged to profit or loss using the effective interest method.
vi Deferred tax
Indian GAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period.
Ind AS 12 requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or
liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. The application of Ind AS 12 approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences which was not
required under Indian GAAP.
In addition, the various transitional adjustments lead to temporary differences. According to the accounting policies, the Group has to account for such differences. Deferred tax
adjustments are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained earnings or a separate component of equity. On the date of transition, the net impact
on deferred tax liabilities is of INR 91.14 millions (March 31, 2018: negative 4.06 millions).
Ind AS does not require the creation of DTL on the amount transferred to the Special Reserve. Accordingly, DTL created on special reserve as at March 31, 2017 is reversed and
the charge through the Statement of Profit and Loss Account in current year is also reversed.

29 Capital management:
For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the
Company. The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is safety and security of share capital and maximize the shareholder value.
The Company manages its capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. The company monitors capital using a gearing
ratio, which is total debt divided by net worth. The Company’s policy is to keep the gearing ratio at reasonable level of 6-8 times in imminent period while the Housing Finance
Companies (National Housing Bank) Directions, 2010 (the “NHB Directions”) currently permits HFCs to borrow up to 16 times of their net owned funds (“NOF”). The Company includes
with in debt, its all interest bearing loans and borrowings.
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 that define capital structure requirements. 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 period.
The Company’s Principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the company’s operations. At the other hand
company’s Principal financial assets include loans and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
As a lending institution, Company is exposed to various risks that are related to lending business and operating environment. The Principal Objective in Company 's risk management
processes is to measure and monitor the various risks that Company is subject to and to follow policies and procedures to address such risks. Company 's risk management framework
is driven by Board and its subcommittees including the Audit Committee, the Asset Liability Management Committee and the Risk Management Committee. Company gives due
importance to prudent lending practices and have implemented suitable measures for risk mitigation, which include verification of credit history from credit information bureaus,
personal verification of a customer’s business and residence, technical and legal verifications, conservative loan to value, and required term cover for insurance. The major types of
risk Company face in businesses are liquidity risk, credit risk, interest rate risk.
Liquidity Risk refers to the risk that the company can not meet its financial obligations. The objective of Liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that
funds are available for use as per requirement. The unavailability of adequate amount of funds at optimum cost and co-terminus tenure to repay the financial liabilities and further
growth of business resultantly may face an Asset Liability Management (ALM) mismatch caused by a difference in the maturity profile of Company assets and liabilities. This risk may
arise from the unexpected increase in the cost of funding an asset portfolio at the appropriate maturity and the risk of being unable to liquidate a position in a timely manner and at a
reasonable price. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and undrwan credit facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows,
and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Due to the very nature of housing finance, the company is exposed to moderate to higher Interest Rate Risk. This risk has a major impact on the balance sheet as well as the income
statement of the company. Interest Rate Risk arises due to:
i) Changes in Regulatory or Market Conditions affecting the interest rates
ii) Short term volatility
iii) Prepayment risk translating into a reinvestment risk
iv) Real interest rate risk.
In short run, change in interest rate affects Company’s earnings (measured by NII or NIM) and in long run it affects Market Value of Equity (MVE) or net worth. It is essential for the
company to not only quantify the interest rate risk but also to manage it proactively. The company mitigates its interest rate risk by keeping a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable
rate loans and borrowings. Further company carries out Earnings at risk analysis and maturity gap analysis at quarterly intervals to quantify the risk.

The amendments to standards that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2017 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 amending the following standard:
Ind AS 115 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ was notified on March 28, 2018 and establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under Ind AS 115, revenue is recognised at an
amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.
The new revenue standard will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under Ind AS. This new standard requires revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that
reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Adoption of the new rules could affect the timing of revenue recognition for certain transactions of the Company. Ind AS 115
is effective for the Company for the annual period beginning on or after April 1, 2018 and permits two possible methods of transition:
(i) Retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within Ind AS 115
(the full retrospective method); or
(ii) Retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying Ind AS 115 recognized at the date of initial application (April 1, 2018) and providing certain additional disclosures as defined in Ind AS 115 (the modified retrospective
method).
The Company continues to evaluate the available transition methods and its contractual arrangements. The ultimate impact on revenue resulting from the application of Ind AS 115 will be subject to assessments that are dependent on
many variables, including, but not limited to, the terms of the contractual arrangements and the mix of business. The Company's considerations also include, but are not limited to, the comparability of its financial statements and the
comparability within its industry from application of the new standard to its contractual arrangements. The Company is evaluating the requirements of Ind AS 115 and its effect on the financial statements .
The amendments clarify that an entity needs to consider whether tax law restricts the sources of taxable profits against which it may make deductions on the reversal of that deductible temporary difference. Furthermore, the
amendments provide guidance on how an entity should determine future taxable profits and explain the circumstances in which taxable profit may include the recovery of some assets for more than their carrying amount.
Entities are required to apply the amendments retrospectively. However, on initial application of the amendments, the change in the opening equity of the earliest comparative period may be recognised in opening retained earnings (or
in another component of equity, as appropriate), without allocating the change between opening retained earnings and other components of equity. Entities applying this relief must disclose that fact.
These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2018. These amendments are not expected to have any major impact on the company as the company has no major deductible temporary differences or
assets that are in the scope of the amendments.
The Appendix clarifies that, in determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to
advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity initially recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in
advance, then the entity must determine the transaction date for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.
Entities may apply the Appendix requirements on a fully retrospective basis. Alternatively, an entity may apply these requirements prospectively to all assets, expenses and income in its scope that are initially recognised on or after:
(i) The beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the Appendix, or
(ii) The beginning of a prior reporting period presented as comparative information in the financial statements of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the Appendix.
The Appendix is effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2018. However, since the Company’s current practice is in line with the Interpretation, the Company does not expect any effect on its financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our restated standalone financial statements as of
and for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscals ended March 31, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014,
including the related annexures. These restated standalone financial statements are prepared in accordance
with Indian GAAP and restated as per the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Indian GAAP differs in certain material
respects with Ind AS, IFRS and U.S. GAAP.
Our financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscal 2018 consolidate the results of
our wholly owned subsidiary, Aavas Finserv Limited with effect from November 30, 2017, which results
reflected total assets of ₹ 45.42 million, or 0.11% of our total assets as of June 30, 2018 and revenue of ₹ 0.27
million and ₹ 0.17 million or 0.01% and 0.01% of our total revenue for the period ending March 31, 2018 and
the three months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. During prior fiscals, we did not have any subsidiary and
hence our financial statements for Fiscals 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014 are standalone financial statements.
Our fiscal year ends on March 31 of each year. Accordingly, all references to a particular fiscal year are to the
12-month period ended March 31 of that year.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and reflects our current
view with respect to future events and financial performance. Actual results may differ from those anticipated in
these forward-looking statements as a result of factors such as those set forth under “Forward-looking
Statements” and “Risk Factors” on pages 15 and 17, respectively.
The industry-related information contained in this section is derived from the ICRA Report. We commissioned the
ICRA Report for the purposes of confirming our understanding of the industry in connection with the Offer.
Neither our Company, nor any other person connected with the Offer, including the GCBRLMs and BRLM, has
independently verified the information in the ICRA Report or other publicly available information cited in this
section.
Overview
We are a retail, affordable housing finance company, primarily serving low and middle income self employed
customers in semi-urban and rural areas in India. A majority of our customers have limited access to formal
banking credit. According to ICRA Report, our Company had the lowest Gross NPAs as of March 31, 2018 and
the second highest growth rate of assets under management for the last three financial years, among affordable
housing finance companies that had assets under management between ₹ 25 billion and ₹ 200 billion.
We offer customers home loans for the purchase or construction of residential properties, and for the extension
and repair of existing housing units. As of June 30, 2018, a majority of the home loans that we disbursed were
for single-unit properties, almost all of which were to be occupied by the borrowers themselves. In addition to
home loans, we offer our customers other mortgage loans including loans against property, which accounted for
24.18% of our Gross Loan Assets as of June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, 61.22% of our Gross Loan Assets
were from customers who belonged to the economically weaker section and low income group, earning less than
₹ 50,000 per month and 36.27% of our Gross Loan Assets were from customers who were new to credit. As of
June 30, 2018, 64.21% of Gross Loan Assets were from self-employed customers. The average sanctioned
amount of our home loans and other mortgage loans was ₹ 0.87 million and ₹ 0.80 million, respectively, on our
Gross Loan Assets, as of June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, our Gross Loan Assets had an average loan-to-
value of 50.33% at the time of the sanctioning of the loan. Since the commencement of our operations in March
2012, we have served more than 62,500 customers.
We have adopted a strategy of contiguous on-ground expansion across regions and as of June 30, 2018, we
conducted our operations through 166 branches covering 95 districts in eight states of which, we have a
significant presence in the four states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. Almost all our
customers are sourced directly by us, and as of June 30, 2018, we employed 1,996 personnel and had 57,049
loan accounts including securitized and assigned cases.
We are a technology driven company and we leverage information technology and data analytics for onboarding
customers, underwriting analysis, loan monitoring, risk management and collection functions. Between Fiscals
2014 and 2018, we invested ₹ 150.45 million in our information technology systems.

We secure financing from a variety of sources including term loans and working capital facilities; proceeds from
loans assigned and securitized; proceeds from the issuance of non-convertible debentures (“NCDs”);
refinancing from the National Housing Bank (“NHB”); and subordinated debt borrowings from banks, mutual
funds, insurance companies and other domestic, foreign and multi-lateral financial institutions to meet our
capital requirements. As of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, our Total Borrowings were ₹ 27,217.61 million
and ₹ 25,957.82 million, respectively, and our average cost of borrowings has reduced from 12.28% as of March
31, 2014 to 8.57% as of June 30, 2018. Meanwhile, our long-term credit ratings have improved from CRISIL
BBB+/Stable in August 2012 to CRISIL A+/Stable currently. As of June 30, 2018, the weighted average
duration of our outstanding borrowings and securitization and assignment was 134.15 months and our long
term-rating from CARE was A+/Positive and short-term rating was A1+.
Our Company is registered with the NHB as an HFC and we commenced our operations in Jaipur, Rajasthan in
March 2012. Our Company was initially promoted by Au Financiers (India) Limited, (now known as AU Small
Finance Bank Limited (“AuSFB”)), which sold 90.10% of the outstanding equity interest of our Company in
connection with its conversion to a small finance bank, to Lake District Holdings Limited (a subsidiary of
Kedaara Capital I Limited) (“Lake District”), Kedaara Capital Alternative Investment Fund - Kedaara Capital
AIF 1 (“Kedaara AIF-1”), Partners Group ESCL Limited (“ESCL”) and Partners Group Private Equity Master
Fund LLC (“Master Fund”) in June, 2016. The name of our Company was changed from ‘AU Housing Finance
Limited’ to ‘Aavas Financiers Limited’ in March 2017. We are led by a professional management team and our
Key Managerial Personnel held 7.19% of the outstanding equity interest of our Company, as of the date of this
Prospectus.
Our results of operations and financial condition are affected by a number of important factors including:
The availability of cost-effective funding sources could affect our results of operations. We rely on our revenue
from operations, equity in the form of shareholder funds, and debt, in the form of term loans and working capital
facilities; proceeds from the issuance of NCDs and commercial paper; refinancing from the NHB; and
subordinated debt borrowings from banks, mutual funds, insurance companies and other domestic, and foreign
and multi-lateral financial institutions to meet our capital requirements. We securitize and assign loans through
securitization or direct assignment to banks and financial institutions. As of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018,
2017 and 2016, our average cost of borrowings was 8.57%, 8.65%, 9.62% and 10.53%, respectively.
Our ability to continue to meet customer demand for new loans will depend primarily on our ability to borrow
from various external sources on suitable terms and in a timely manner. Our funding sources are varied, as we
believe that a diversified debt profile ensures that we are not overly dependent on any one type or source for
funding. Our debt service costs and overall cost of funds depend on many external factors, including
developments in the Indian credit markets and, in particular, interest rate movements and the existence of
adequate liquidity in the debt markets. Internal factors that affect our cost of funds include our credit ratings and
available credit limits. For details of our current credit ratings, see “Business - Credit Ratings” on page 159.
Also see “Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors - Our business requires substantial capital and any disruption
in our sources of capital could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows” on page 17.
As of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, our aggregate Total Borrowings were ₹ 27,217.61
million, ₹ 25,957.82 million, ₹ 17,933.88 million and ₹ 14,467.68 million, respectively. Any increase in our cost
of funds may require us to increase interest rates on new loans originated to customers in the future to maintain
our net interest margins, which may, in turn, decrease the competitiveness of our products and affect our results
of operations and prospects.
400
Our results of operations depend substantially on our net interest spread, which is the difference between the
interest rates on our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Any change in interest rates would
affect the interest rates we pay on our floating interest-bearing liabilities as well as the net interest margins over
our fixed rate interest-earning assets.
For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and Fiscals 2018, 2017 and 2016, interest income on loan portfolio
and securitization, represented 87.26%, 86.22%, 88.58% and 90.35%, respectively, of our total revenue from
operations. Finance cost, which primarily include interest on term loans, cash credit facilities, commercial paper,
inter corporate deposits and non-convertible debentures that we have issued and other borrowing costs,
comprising resource mobilization expenses and bank charges and commission, represented 56.24%, 59.92%,
65.53% and 68.74%, respectively, of our total expenses. We try to balance our interest-bearing liabilities against
our interest-earning assets. As of June 30, 2018, 47.05% of our Gross Loan Assets were at fixed rates of interest
with a weighted average yield of 15.73%, while 52.95% were at variable rates with a weighted average yield of
12.20%. Further, as of June 30, 2018, 30.82% of our Total Borrowings and including securitization and
assignment were at fixed rates of interest, while 69.18% were at floating rates.
Any adverse change to our net interest income and net interest margins will affect our results of operations.
Interest rates are sensitive to many factors beyond our control, including the monetary policies of the RBI,
inflation, GDP growth rates, deregulation of the financial sector in India and domestic and international
economic conditions. Moreover, interest rates in India are typically correlated with the inflation rate, and as the
inflation rate increases, the RBI has historically sought to raise interest rates. Our results of operations are thus
affected by changes in interest rates and our inability to re-price our interest-earning assets accordingly. See
“Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors - We are affected by changes in interest rates for our lending and
treasury operations, which could cause our net interest income to decline and adversely affect our business
and results of operations” on page 18 and “- Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks -
Interest Rate Risks” on page 419.
Our ability to manage the credit quality of our loans, which we measure in part through non-performing assets,
is a key driver of our results of operations. We are required to classify our home and other mortgage loans into
performing and non-performing assets in accordance with the NHB Directions. Defaults by our customers for a
period of more than 90 days result in such loans being classified as “non-performing”. Further, non-performing
assets are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets and provisions are made based on criteria
stipulated by the NHB Directions.
We rely on our credit assessment and risk management framework to maintain a high-quality loan portfolio and
we make provisions over and above the provisions stated in the NHB Directions against all non-performing
assets, if in the opinion of our management such provisions are necessary. As of June 30, 2018, 64.21% of
Gross Loan Assets were from self-employed customers. Self-employed customers are often considered to be
higher credit risk customers due to their increased exposure to fluctuations in cash flows and to adverse
economic conditions generally. In addition, on account of our recent growth, a significant portion of our loan
portfolio is relatively new and was disbursed during the last 36 months. We believe that the risk of delinquency
in home loans typically emerges 36 to 48 months from disbursement. As the number of our loans that become
non-performing assets increases, the credit quality of our loan portfolio decreases. As of June 30, 2018 and
March 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, our Gross NPA were ₹ 172.39 million, ₹ 106.91 million, ₹ 169.21 million and
₹ 80.42 million respectively, while our Gross NPA to Gross Advances was 0.50%, 0.34%, 0.79% and 0.55%,
respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, our Net NPA were ₹ 133.14 million, ₹
82.51 million, ₹ 128.64 million and ₹ 61.71 million, respectively, while our Net NPA to Net Advances was
0.38%, 0.26%, 0.60% and 0.42%, respectively.

From Fiscal 2017, we commenced making provisions in excess of those prescribed by the NHB by 40% for Sub-standard

In addition, since the underlying security on our loans is a mortgage over the customers’ property, our loan
portfolio is exposed to events affecting the real estate sector. A decline in real estate prices, and in turn in the
value of the collateral could affect our ability to recover amounts owed to us upon foreclosure. See “Risk
Factors – Internal Risk Factors - Our inability to recover the full value of collateral, or amounts outstanding
under defaulted loans in a timely manner, or at all, could adversely affect our results of operations” on page
20.
Our financial condition and results of operation are influenced by the general economic conditions prevalent in
India, particularly in the rural and semi-urban areas in which we operate. Overall economic growth and an
increase in GDP are likely to result in an increase in incomes and spending on housing in India, which may lead
to an increase in demand for home loans. Conversely, a slowdown in the Indian economy could adversely affect
our business and our borrowers, especially if such a slowdown were to be continued and prolonged. Various
factors beyond our control, such as domestic employment levels, conditions in the world economy, fluctuations
in interest rates, developments in the Indian economy, movements in global commodity markets and exchange
rates and changes in Indian laws, regulations and policies could have either a positive or adverse impact on the
quality of our Gross Loan Assets. The demand for home loans is also affected by real estate prices and other
developments in the real estate sector. Typically, higher real estate prices are likely to result in lower
affordability for buyers. Any trends or events which have a significant impact on the economic situation in
India, including a rise in interest rates, could have an adverse impact on our business.
Our results of operations and continued growth also depend on stable government policies and regulations. The
NHB Directions currently require HFCs to comply with a CRAR, consisting of Tier I and Tier II capital. Under
these requirements, an HFC’s Tier I and Tier II capital may not be less than 12.0% of the sum of the HFC’s
risk-weighted assets and the risk adjusted value of off-balance sheet items, as applicable, with a minimum
requirement of Tier I capital of 6.0% on risk weighted assets. Further, the NHB Directions require that the Tier
II capital may not exceed the Tier I capital. As of June 30, 2018, our CRAR was 60.53%, with Tier I capital
comprising 55.33% and Tier II capital comprising 5.20%. In addition, the NHB Directions currently permit
HFCs to borrow up to 16 times their NOF. As of June 30, 2018, we had Total Borrowings of ₹ 27,217.61
million, or 2.32 times our NOF of ₹ 11,745.76 million.
We are required to comply with, among others, limits on borrowings, investments and interest rates, prudential
norms for income recognition, asset classification and provisioning for standard and non-standard assets, norms
for creation of special reserves as well as minimum capital adequacy requirements. The regulations applicable
to us also address issues such as our conduct with customers and recovery practices, market conduct and
foreign investment. Any significant change by the Government, the NHB or the RBI in their various policy
initiatives facilitating the provision of housing or housing finance may affect the demand for our products and
services.
Increasing Competition
The Indian housing finance industry is highly competitive and the factors on which we compete include product
range, ability to customize products, rate of approving loans, interest rates charges for loans, reputation and
maintaining customer relationships. Our primary competitors have been banks, HFCs and NBFCs as well as
private unorganized lenders who typically operate in rural and semi-urban markets. In addition, many of our
potential customers in economically weaker segments do not have access to any form of organized institutional
lending, and rely on loans from informal sources, including moneylenders and local businessmen at higher rates
of interest.
402
In the organized sector, many of our competitors may have better access to, and lower costs of, funding than we
do. In certain geographies, they may also have better brand recognition and a larger customer base than ours. If
we are unable to access funds at an effective cost that is comparable to, or lower than our competitors, or expand
our reach and build our brand among our target customers, we may lose existing as well as potential customers
to competition, resulting in a decline in our market share.
In addition, customers have increased accessibility to housing finance products and services due to technological
advances and increased penetration of internet based lending platforms, which has facilitated an increase in
demand for home loans and competition to meet that demand. With relatively lesser barriers to entry in the
housing finance sector, competition is likely to intensify further as a result of regulatory changes and
liberalization.
Basis of preparation
Our Restated Standalone Financial Statements have been compiled by our management from our audited
standalone financial statements, which were originally approved by our Board. Our standalone financial
statements, which form the basis of preparation of our Restated Standalone Financial Statements were prepared
by us under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis to comply in all material respects with the
applicable accounting standards specified under the Companies Act, 1956, under section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013, as amended read with rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, Companies
(Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016, the provisions of the NHB as applicable to a housing finance
company and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. The standalone financial statements were
prepared using the presentation and disclosure requirements of the Schedule III of Companies Act 2013 /
Revised Schedule VI of the Companies Act, 1956 (as applicable).
Our Restated Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared by us to comply in all material respects with
the requirements of Section 26 of Chapter III of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended, read with rule 4 to 6
of the Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules, 2014 and SEBI ICDR Regulations. The
accounting policies have been consistently applied by us in preparation of the Restated Standalone Financial
Statements and are consistent with those adopted in the preparation of financial statement for the period
ended June 30, 2018.
In accordance with the requirements of schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, we have reassessed the useful
lives of the fixed assets. An amount of ₹ 1.89 million has been charged to our financial results for the period
ended March 31, 2015 representing the additional depreciation on the carrying value of the assets as at April 1,
2014 due to change in the useful life of the assets.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires our management to
make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets
and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although these
estimates are based on our management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these
assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts
of assets or liabilities in future periods.
Cash and cash equivalent comprise of cash in hand, demand deposits and time deposits with original maturity of
less than three months held with bank, debit balance in cash credit account and stamping/franking balance.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to us and the revenue
can be measured reliably.
Interest on loans
403
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion accrual basis taking into account the amount outstanding and
the interest rate implicit in the underlying agreements. Income or any other charges on non-performing
assets is recognized only when realized and any such income recognized before the assets became non-
performing and remaining unrealized is reversed.
Gains arising on securitization of assets is recognized over the tenure of securities issued by the special purpose
vehicle as per guidelines on securitization of standard assets issued by RBI. Income from excess interest spread
is accounted for net of losses when redeemed in cash. Expenditure in respect of securitization is recognized
upfront. Income arising on direct assignment is recognized over the tenure of agreement on accrual basis.
Administrative fees and processing fees is recognized in the year in which the loan is disbursed.
Revenue from interest on bank deposits and investments are recognized on accrual basis.
Commission on insurance policies sold is recognized on accrual basis when we, under our agency code, sell the
insurance policies.
Dividend income is accounted for when the right to receive the dividend is established by the date of balance
sheet.
Borrowing cost
Borrowing cost includes interest and ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily
takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the
respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.
Operating Leases
Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased
item, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement
of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Investment
Investments, which are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than one year from the
date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are
classified as long-term investments.
On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost comprises of purchase price and directly
attributable acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties. If an investment is acquired, or partly
acquired, by the issue of shares or other securities, the acquisition cost is the fair value of the securities issued. If
an investment is acquired in exchange for another asset, the acquisition is determined by reference to the fair
value of the asset given up or by reference to the fair value of the investment acquired, whichever is more
clearly evident.
Current investments are carried in the financial statements at lower of cost and fair value determined on an
individual investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in
value is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.
404
On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged
or credited to the statement of profit and loss.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises of the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the assets
to its working condition for its intended use. Depreciation on fixed assets is calculated on a written down value
basis using the useful lives those prescribed under the Schedule II to the Act. We have used the following useful
lives to provide depreciation on its fixed assets:
For the period prior to April 1, 2014, depreciation was provided on written down value method as per the rates
and manner prescribed under Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956.
All fixed assets individually costing ₹ 5,000 or less are fully depreciated in the year of installation/purchase.
Depreciation on assets acquired/sold during the year is recognized on a pro-rata basis to the statement of profit
and loss from/up to the date of acquisition/sale. Gain or loss arising from sale of fixed assets are measured
as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets disposed, and
are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period when the asset is sold.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful economic life. We use a
rebuttable presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed four years from the date when
the asset is available for use. If the persuasive evidence exists to the affect that useful life of an intangible asset
exceeds four years, we amortize the intangible asset over the best estimate of its useful life.
Impairment of assets
The carrying amount of assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of
impairment based on internal or external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying
amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the assets, net
selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and risks specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account,
if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. After impairment,
depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
A provision is recognized when we have a present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted to their present value and
are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates
are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by
the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond our control or a present
obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle
the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be
405
recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. We do not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its
existence in the financial statements.
Provision for Standard Assets and Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) / Write off
Housing loans and other loans are classified as per the NHB Directions into performing and non-performing
assets. Further, non-performing assets are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets and
provision made based on criteria stipulated by the NHB Directions. Additional provisions are made
against all non-performing assets over and above the provisions stated in the NHB Directions, if in the
opinion of the management higher provision is necessary.
Loans with principal and/or interest overdue have been classified as non-performing assets, in accordance with
the extant NHB prudential norms/master directions applicable to a housing finance company, and have been
provided for at the following rates:
We maintain standard provision to cover potential credit losses, which are inherent in any loan portfolio but not
identified. Provision on standard assets is made in accordance with the extant NHB prudential norms/ master
directions applicable to a housing finance company.
We review stressed cases periodically and if we consider that recovery in such assets is not probable, then we
can classify such assets as “loss assets” and write off the same in the profit and loss account.
Properties acquired under Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of
Security Interest Act, 2002
Upon a property being acquired under SARFAESI, the outstanding loan is settled and the acquired property is
valued at realizable value or principal outstanding, whichever is less. Stock of such acquired properties is shown
under other current assets.
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. We have no obligation, other
than the contribution payable to the provident fund. We recognize contribution payable to the provident fund
scheme as an expenditure, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the
scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit
payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the
contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then
excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future
payment or a cash refund.
We provide gratuity benefits which is a defined benefit scheme. The cost of providing gratuity benefits is
determined on the basis of actuarial valuation at each period or year-end. Separate actuarial valuation is carried
out for each plan using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in full in the
period in which they occur in the statement of profit and loss.
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term
employee benefit. We measure the expected cost of such absence as the additional amount that we expect to pay
as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. We treat accumulated leave
expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long term employee benefit for measurement
purposes. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
406
Provision for taxation
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current income-tax is measured at the amount expected to
be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961, enacted in India. The tax rates and
tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in statement of
profit and loss.
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting
income originating during the current year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred
tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for
deductible timing differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future
taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations where we
have unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is
virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realized against future taxable profits.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set-off current tax
assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred taxes relate to the same taxable
entity and the same taxation authority.
At each reporting date, we re-assess unrecognized deferred tax assets. We recognize unrecognized deferred tax
asset to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient
future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
Share/ Debenture issue expenses incurred are expensed in the year of issue and redemption premium payable on
debentures is expensed over the term of debentures. These are adjusted (net of tax) to the securities premium
account in accordance with section 52 of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent of balance available in such
premium account.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity
shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends
relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the
effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
In case of stock option plan, measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based payment plans is
done in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, issued
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India as applicable for equity-settled share based payments.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured using the intrinsic value method and recognized, together
with a corresponding increase in the “Stock options outstanding account” in reserves. The cumulative expense
recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which
the vesting period has expired and our best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately
vest. The expense or credit recognized in the statement of profit and loss for a period represents the movement
in cumulative expense recognized as of the beginning and end of that period and is recognized in employee
benefits expense.
407

million for Fiscal 2018 from ₹ 406.03 million for Fiscal 2017. The increase in salaries and other benefits was
due to an increase in our number of employees as a result of growth in our business and compensation

Total Revenue

Revenue from Operations. Our revenue from operations increased by 59.85% to ₹ 3,051.28 million for Fiscal
2017 from ₹ 1,908.79 million for Fiscal 2016, primarily due to an increase in interest income on loan portfolio
to ₹ 2,697.49 million for Fiscal 2017 from ₹ 1,724.58 million for Fiscal 2016 and an increase in fees and other
charges from customers to ₹ 247.57 million for Fiscal 2017 from ₹ 158.33 million for Fiscal 2016. The increase
in interest income on loan portfolio was consistent with the increase in our customer base; we disbursed loans
aggregating to ₹ 13,916.02 million during Fiscal 2017 as compared to loans aggregating to ₹ 10,504.30 million
for Fiscal 2016.
Other income. Our other income, comprising other non-operating income, increased to ₹ 3.64 million for Fiscal

million for Fiscal 2017 from ₹ 280.40 million for Fiscal 2016. The increase in salaries and other benefits was
due to an increase in our number of employees as a result of growth in our business and compensation
increments given to our employees. Our number of employees increased to 940 employees as of March 31, 2017
from 704 employees as of March 31, 2016.
Finance cost. Our finance cost increased by 47.42% to ₹ 1,428.20 million for Fiscal 2017 from ₹ 968.81 million
for Fiscal 2016, primarily due to an increase in interest expense to ₹ 1,397.33 million for Fiscal 2017 from ₹
932.79 million for Fiscal 2016, primarily due to an increase in interest on term loans/ cash credit facilities/
commercial paper/inter-corporate deposit to ₹ 1,079.65 million for Fiscal 2017 from ₹ 665.67 million for Fiscal
2016, and an increase in interest on non-convertible debentures to ₹ 281.12 million for Fiscal 2017 from ₹
229.29 million for Fiscal 2016. However, such increase was partially offset by a reduction in the average cost of
our borrowings during Fiscal 2017.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Our depreciation and amortization expense increased to ₹ 27.70 million
for Fiscal 2017 from ₹ 12.83 million for Fiscal 2016, primarily due to an increase in our intangible assets of
software, as well as our gross block of computers and printers and furniture and fixtures.
Other expenses. Our other expenses increased to ₹ 215.18 million for Fiscal 2017 from ₹ 97.75 million for
Fiscal 2016, primarily due to an increase in manpower management cost to ₹ 60.21 million for Fiscal 2017 from
₹ 27.87 million for Fiscal 2016 and an increase in legal and professional charges to ₹ 30.19 million for Fiscal
2017 from ₹ 10.71 million for Fiscal 2016.

Total tax expenses. Our total tax expenses increased by 77.16% to ₹ 304.22 million for Fiscal 2017 from ₹
171.72 million for Fiscal 2016, as a result of an increase in profit before tax. For Fiscal 2017, we had a current

Capital Expenditure
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we added fixed assets of property, plant and equipment of ₹ 25.37
million, primarily for computers and printers and office equipment. For Fiscal 2018, we added fixed assets of
property, plant and equipment of ₹ 116.73 million, primarily for computers and printers, furniture and fixtures,
motor vehicles and office equipment. For Fiscal 2017, we added fixed assets of property, plant and equipment of
₹ 56.19 million, primarily for computers and printers, furniture and fixtures and office equipment. For Fiscal
2016, we added fixed assets of property, plant and equipment of ₹ 14.96 million, primarily for computers and
printers, furniture and fixtures, motor vehicles and office equipment. For Fiscal 2019, we expect our capital
expenditures to be incurred for the purposes of developing branch infrastructure, including furniture and
fixtures, office equipment and towards information technology systems. We have budgeted capital expenditures
of approximately ₹ 110.00 million in Fiscal 2019.
The following table sets forth our capital to risk-weighted assets ratios for the periods indicated:
Credit Ratings
The following table sets forth our credit ratings as of the date of this Prospectus:
We have engaged in the past, and may engage in the future, in transactions with related parties. For details of
our related party transactions, see “Related Party Transactions” on page 202.
We are exposed to various types of market risks during the normal course of business such as liquidity risk,
418
credit risk, operation risk, interest rate risk, cash management risk, asset risk and inflation risk.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises due to the unavailability of adequate amount of funds at an appropriate cost and tenure. We
may face an asset-liability mismatch caused by a difference in the maturity profile of our assets and liabilities.
This risk may arise from the unexpected increase in the cost of funding an asset portfolio at the appropriate
maturity and the risk of being unable to liquidate a position in a timely manner and at a reasonable price. We
monitor liquidity risk through our Asset Liability Management Committee. Monitoring liquidity risk involves
categorizing all assets and liabilities into different maturity profiles and evaluating them for any mismatches in
any particular maturities, particularly in the short-term. We actively monitor our liquidity position to ensure that
we can meet all borrower and lender-related funding requirements.
Our treasury department secures funds from multiple sources, including banks, financial institutions and capital
markets and is responsible for diversifying our capital sources, managing interest rate risks and maintaining
strong relationships with banks, financial institutions, mutual funds, insurance companies, the NHB, other
domestic and foreign financial institutions and rating agencies. We continuously seek to diversify our sources of
funding to facilitate flexibility in meeting our funding requirements. Due to the composition of our loan
portfolio, which also qualifies for priority sector lending, we also engage in securitization and assignment
transactions. For further details, see “Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors – We may face asset-liability
mismatches, which could affect our liquidity and adversely affect our business and results of operations” on
page 19.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may occur from the default by our customers under our loan agreements.
Customer defaults and inadequate collateral may lead to higher NPAs. We manage credit risks by using a set of
credit norms and policies, which are approved by our Board and backed by our technology platform. We have
implemented a structured and standardized credit approval process, including customer selection criteria,
comprehensive credit risk assessment and cash flow analysis, which encompasses analysis of relevant
quantitative and qualitative information to ascertain the credit worthiness of a potential customer. Actual credit
exposures, credit limits and asset quality are regularly monitored at various levels. We have created a robust
credit assessment and underwriting practice that enables us to fairly price our credit risks. For further details, see
“Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors – We are exposed to operational and credit risks which may result in
NPAs, and we may be unable to control or reduce the level of NPAs in our portfolio” on page 21.
Operational Risk
Operational risks arise from a variety of factors, including failure to obtain proper internal authorizations,
improperly documented transactions, failure of operational and information security procedures, failure of
computer systems, software or equipment, fraud, inadequate training or employee errors. As one of the features
of our lending operations, we offer a speedy loan approval process and therefore have adopted de-centralized
loan approval systems. In order to control our operational risks, we have adopted clearly defined loan approval
processes and procedures. We also attempt to mitigate operational risk by maintaining a comprehensive system
of internal controls, establishing systems and procedures to monitor transactions, maintaining key back-up
procedures and undertaking contingency planning. In addition, we have appointed audit firms to conduct
internal and process audits at a number of our offices to assess adequacy of and compliance with our internal
controls, procedures and processes. Reports of the internal auditors as well as the action taken on the matters
reported upon are discussed and reviewed at the Audit Committee meetings.
We are subject to interest rate risk, primarily since we lend to customers at rates and for maturity periods that
may differ from our funding sources. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond our control,
including the monetary policies of the RBI, deregulation of the financial sector in India, domestic and
international economic and political conditions, inflation and other factors.
In order to manage interest rate risk, we seek to optimize our borrowing profile between short-term and long-
term loans. We adopt 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 our Asset Liability Management Committee prepares an interest rate sensitivity report
419
periodically for assessment of interest rate risks. For further details, see “Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors –
We are affected by changes in interest rates for our lending and treasury operations, which could cause our
net interest income to decline and adversely affect our business and results of operations” on page 18.
Our branches collect cash from customers for amounts that are overdue and deposit it in our bank accounts and
we have also engaged certain agencies for their cash management services. To address the cash management
risks, we have developed advanced cash management checks that we employ at every level to track and tally
accounts. We ensure that cash collected up to a certain time is deposited at local bank branches on the same day.
Cash that is to be deposited is accounted for at the branch level and at a central level to avoid discrepancies.
Moreover, we conduct regular audits to ensure the highest levels of compliance with our cash management
systems. For further details, see “Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors – A portion of our collections from
customers is in cash, exposing us to certain operational risks” on page 29.
Asset Risk
Asset risks arise due to the decrease in the value of collateral over time. The selling price of a re-possessed asset
may be less than the total amount of loan and interest outstanding in such borrowing and we may be unable to
realize the full amount lent to our customers due to such a decrease in the value of collateral. We may also face
certain practical and execution difficulties during the process of seizing collateral of defaulting customers. We
work with local authorities to repossess such assets and take appropriate care in dealing with customers while
seizing assets. For further details, see “Risk Factors – Internal Risk Factors – Our inability to recover the full
value of collateral, or amounts outstanding under defaulted loans in a timely manner, or at all, could
adversely affect our results of operations” on page 20.
Inflation Risk
Inflation rates in India have been volatile in recent years, and such volatility may continue in the future. A return
of high inflation rates may result in an increase in overall interest rates which may adversely affect our results of
operations. High rates of inflation in the Indian economy could impact the results of our operations, by leading
to a lower demand for our home loans. High inflation rates may also adversely affect growth in the Indian
economy and our operating expenses.
Except as described in this Prospectus, to our knowledge, there have been no unusual or infrequent events or
transactions that have in the past or may in the future affect our business operations or future financial
performance.
Our business has been subject, and we expect it to continue to be subject, to significant economic changes
arising from the trends identified above in “Significant Factors Affecting our Results of Operations” above
and the uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” on page 17 . To our knowledge, except as disclosed in this
Prospectus, there are no known factors which we expect to have a material adverse effect on our income.
Other than as described in “Risk Factors”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 17, 147 and 398, respectively, to our knowledge
there are no known factors that may adversely affect our business prospects, results of operations and financial
condition.
Other than as disclosed in this section and in “Our Business” on page 147, there are no new products or
business segments that have or are expected to have a material impact on our business prospects, results
of operations or financial condition.
420
Given the nature of our business operations, we do not believe our business is dependent on any single or a few
customers.
Seasonality of Business
Competitive Conditions
We operate in a competitive environment. Please refer to “Our Business”, “Industry Overview” and “Risk
Factors” on pages 147, 116 and 17, respectively for further information on our industry and competition.
We have been preparing our annual and interim financial statements under Indian GAAP. However, all HFCs
having a net worth of more than ₹ 5,000.00 million are required to mandatorily adopt Ind AS for the accounting
period beginning from April 1, 2018, with comparatives for the period ending on March 31, 2018. For further
details, see “Special Purpose Financial Information Management Discussion” on page 422.
For details on the significant differences between Indian GAAP and Ind AS, see “Summary of Significant
Differences between Indian GAAP and Ind AS” beginning on page 393.
Except as disclosed above, and in this Prospectus, to our knowledge no circumstances have arisen since the date
of the last financial statements disclosed in this Prospectus which materially and adversely affect or are likely to
affect, our operations or profitability, or the value of our assets or our ability to pay our material liabilities
within the next 12 months.
421
SPECIAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
The following discussion is based on our Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements and Special
Purpose Standalone Financial Statements (together, “Special Purpose Financial Statements”) included in this
Prospectus. With effect from April 1, 2018, we are required to prepare our financial statements under Ind AS
prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. Given that Ind AS is different in many respects from Indian GAAP, our
financial statements for the period commencing from April 1, 2018 may not be comparable to our Indian GAAP
financial statements. See “Summary of Significant Differences between Indian GAAP and Ind AS” on page
393 of this Prospectus.
We will prepare and issue our first complete Ind AS financial statements as at and for the year ending March
31, 2019. Until the first complete Ind AS financial statements are issued, the balances in the Special Purpose
Interim Standalone Financial Statements are preliminary and may require adjustments if (a) there are any new
Ind AS standards issued through March 31, 2019, (b) there are any amendments or modifications made to
existing Ind AS standards or interpretations thereof through March 31, 2019 effecting the Ind AS balances in
these financial statements and (c) if we make any changes in the elections or exemptions selected on adoption of
Ind AS at its transition date of April 1, 2017.
These Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the
recognition and measurement principles prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the
Ind AS Rules. However, all disclosures as required under Ind AS have not been furnished in these Special
Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements. Accordingly, the relevant comparative financial information
under Ind AS for the three months period ended June 30, 2017 (comprising the statement of profit and loss, the
cash flow statement and the statement for changes in equity for the three months period ended June 30, 2017)
has not been presented in these Special Purpose Interim Standalone Financial Statements. Similarly, while
preparing the Special Purpose Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2018, the
relevant comparative financial information under Ind AS for the year ended March 31, 2017 has not been
presented. Only a complete set of financial statements together with comparative financial information can
provide a fair presentation of our state of affairs (financial position), profit (financial performance including
other comprehensive income), cash flows and the changes in equity. In addition, we have presented our Special
Purpose Financial Statements on a standalone basis and have not prepared and included special purpose
consolidated financial statements prepared using recognition and measurement principles of Ind AS. Our
Company has only one subsidiary, Aavas Finserv Limited, with effect from November 30, 2017. For further
details, see “Risk Factors – External Risk Factors - We have included our Special Purpose Financial
Statements in this Prospectus, which are subject to change and investors should read the related disclosure in
this context” on page 36.

short term borrowings of ₹ 1,378.67 million.
Contingent Liabilities
The following table sets forth our contingent liabilities that have not been provided for as of June 30, 2018:
Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires our management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on our
management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates
could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in
future periods.
Cash and cash equivalent comprises cash in hand, demand deposits and time deposits with original maturity of
less than three months held with bank, debit balance in cash credit account and balance in franking machine.
Revenue recognition
Interest income, for all financial instruments measured either at amortized cost or at fair value through other
comprehensive income, is recorded using the effective interest rate (“EIR”). EIR is the rate that exactly
discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a
shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. The calculation takes into
account all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment options) and includes any
fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable and are an integral part of the EIR, but not future credit
losses.
We calculate interest income by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of financial assets other than
credit-impaired assets. When a financial asset becomes credit-impaired and is, therefore, regarded as ‘Stage 3’,
we calculate interest income by applying the effective interest rate to the net amortized cost of the financial
asset. If the financial assets cures and is no longer credit-impaired, we revert to calculating interest income on a
gross basis.
Overdue interest in respect of loans is recognized upon realization. Other ancillary charges are recognized upon
realization.
Commission on insurance policies sold is recognized on accrual basis when we under our agency code sell the
insurance policies.
424
Dividend Income
Dividend income is recognized when our right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when
shareholders approve the dividend.
Foreign currency
Our financial statements are presented in Indian rupees which is also our functional currency. Transactions in
foreign currencies are initially recorded by us at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the
transaction first qualifies for recognition. Income and expenses in foreign currencies are initially recorded by us
at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets
and liabilities are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date and exchange
gains and losses arising on settlement and restatement are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss
arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the
gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or
loss is recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) or profit or loss are also recognized in OCI or profit
or loss, respectively).
Operating Leases
Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset substantially vest with the
lessor are recognized as operating leases. We have ascertained that the payments to the lessor are structured to
increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost
increases and therefore, the lease payments are recognized as per terms of the lease agreement in the statement
of profit and loss.
On transition to Ind AS, we have elected to continue with the carrying value of all of our property, plant and
equipment and intangible assets as at March 31, 2017, measured as per Indian GAAP and use that carrying
value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as on April 1, 2017.
Property, plant and equipment (“PPE”) are stated at cost (including incidental expenses directly attributable to
bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use) less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working
condition for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure related to PPE is capitalized only when it is probable that
future economic benefits associated with these will flow to us and the cost of item can be measured reliably.
Other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed off as and when incurred.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is de-recognized upon
disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on
derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying
amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is de-recognized.
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition,
intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided over the useful life of the asset as per Schedule-II of Companies Act, 2013, and
depreciation rates have been worked out by applying written down value method. We have used the following
useful lives to provide depreciation on our PPE:
425
PPE Useful Life (WDV) (in years)
Freehold Land NIL
Building 60
Furniture and fixtures 10
Office equipment 5
Motor Vehicles 8
Servers 6
Computers and printers 3
All fixed assets individually costing ₹ 5,000 or less are fully depreciated in the year of installation/purchase.
Amortization
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful economic life. We consider that
the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed four years from the date when the asset is available for use.
If the persuasive evidence exists to the affect that useful life of an intangible asset exceeds four years, we
amortize the intangible asset over the best estimate of its useful life.
The carrying amount of assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment
based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the assets, net selling price and value
in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the
asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such
transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful
life.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when we have a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it
is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that
reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the
provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
We do not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements contingent
liability is disclosed in the case of:
a present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will not be
required to settle the obligation
a present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible
a possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote
Contingent liabilities are reviewed at each balance sheet date. Contingent assets are not recognized. A
contingent asset is disclosed, as required by Ind AS 37, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. We have no obligation, other
than the contribution payable to the provident fund. We recognize contribution payable to the provident fund
scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme
for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to
the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already
paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized
426
as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash
refund.
We provide gratuity benefits which is a defined benefit scheme. The cost of providing gratuity benefits is
determined on the basis of actuarial valuation at each year end. Separate actuarial valuation is carried out for
each plan using the projected unit credit method.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts
included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts
included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognized immediately in the balance sheet with
a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-
measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognized in profit or loss on the earlier of:
Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and
non-routine settlements; and
Net interest expense or income
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term
employee benefit. We measure the expected cost of such absence as the additional amount that it expects to pay
as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. We treat accumulated leave
expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long term employee benefit for measurement
purposes.
Taxes
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to
the taxation authorities in accordance with Income tax Act, 1961. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the
amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either
in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying
transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax
credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax
credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is
no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to
be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the
extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the
asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.
427
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either in
other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying
transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax
assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation
authority.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity
shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends
relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the
effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Equity-settled share based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair
value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled
share based payments is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period, based on our estimate of
equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each
reporting period, we revise our estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the
revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in the statement of profit and loss such that the
cumulative expenses reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the share based payments
reserve.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted
earnings per share.
Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity.
Financial Assets
Financial assets, with the exception of loans and advances to customers, are initially recognized on the trade
date, i.e., the date that we become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Loans and advances to
customers are recognized when funds are disbursed to the customers. The classification of financial instruments
at initial recognition depends on their purpose and characteristics and the management’s intention when
acquiring them. All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not
recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the
financial asset.
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:
428
The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual
cash flows, and
Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest (“SPPI”) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR
method less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on
acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in interest
income in the statement of profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the statement of
profit and loss.
A ‘debt instrument’ is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:
The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling
the financial assets, and
The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date
at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the OCI. However, we recognize interest income,
impairment losses and reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the profit and loss. On derecognition of the
asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from the equity to profit and loss.
Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for
categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
In addition, we may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI
criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement
or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch’). Debt instruments included within the
FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the profit and loss.
Equity Investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for
trading classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, we may make an irrevocable election to present
in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. We make such election on an instrument-
by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If we decide to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument,
excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to profit and
loss, even on sale of investment. However, we may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized
in the profit and loss.
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified and measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as
at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for trading or it is designated as on initial recognition. All financial liabilities
are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly
attributable transaction costs. Our financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings
including bank overdrafts and derivative financial instruments.
Classification and Subsequent measurement - Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial
liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are
429
classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category
also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by us that are not designated as hedging instruments
in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for
trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such
at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as
FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/
loss are not subsequently transferred to the statement of profit and loss. However, we may transfer the
cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognized in the
statement of profit and loss.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as
well as through the EIR amortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs
that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit
and loss. This category generally applies to borrowings.
We hold derivative to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures as well as
interest fluctuations. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank.
This category has derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges. Any derivative
that is not designated a hedge is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit
or loss.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are
recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these
derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are
included in statement of profit and loss. Assets/liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/current
liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance
sheet date.
We do not reclassify its financial assets subsequent to their initial recognition, apart from the exceptional
circumstances in which we acquire, dispose of, or terminate a business line. Financial liabilities are never
reclassified.
Financial Assets
Financial Assets: A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar
financial assets) is derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired. We
also derecognizes the financial asset if we have transferred the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for
derecognition.
We have transferred the financial asset if, and only if, either:
it has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset
or it retains the rights to the cash flows, but has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in
full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement.
430
Pass-through arrangements are transactions whereby we retain the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of
a financial asset (the 'original asset'), but assumes a contractual obligation to pay those cash flows to one or
more entities (the 'eventual recipients'), when all of the following three conditions are met:
We have no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipients unless it has collected equivalent
amounts from the original asset, excluding short-term advances with the right to full recovery of the
amount lent plus accrued interest at market rates.
We cannot sell or pledge the original asset other than as security to the eventual recipients.
We have to remit any cash flows it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients without material delay.
In addition, we are not entitled to reinvest such cash flows, except for investments in cash or cash equivalents
including interest earned, during the period between the collection date and the date of required remittance to
the eventual recipients.
A transfer only qualifies for derecognition if either we have transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of
the asset or we have neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but have
transferred control of the asset.
We consider control to be transferred if and only if, the transferee has the practical ability to sell the asset in its
entirety to an unrelated third party and is able to exercise that ability unilaterally and without imposing
additional restrictions on the transfer.
When we have neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards and has retained control of
the asset, the asset continues to be recognized only to the extent of our continuing involvement, in which case,
we also recognize an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a
basis that reflects the rights and obligations that we have retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of
the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration we could be required to
pay.
If continuing involvement takes the form of a written or purchased option (or both) on the transferred asset, the
continuing involvement is measured at the value we would be required to pay upon repurchase. In the case of a
written put option on an asset that is measured at fair value, the extent of the entity's continuing involvement is
limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price.
Financial Liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms
or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying
value of the original financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized in profit or loss.
We are recording the allowance for expected credit losses for all loans and other debt financial assets not held at
FVPL, together with loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, in this section all referred to as
‘financial instruments’. Equity instruments are not subject to impairment under IND AS 109.
The ECL allowance is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset (the lifetime expected
credit loss or “LTECL”), unless there has been no significant increase in credit risk since origination, in which
case, the allowance is based on the 12 months’ expected credit loss (“12mECL”).
The 12mECL is the portion of LTECLs that represent the ECLs that result from default events on a financial
instrument that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date.
Both LTECLs and 12mECLs are calculated on collective basis, depending on the nature of the underlying
portfolio of financial instruments.
We have established a policy to perform an assessment, at the end of each reporting period, of whether a
431
financial instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition.
Based on the above process, we group our loans into Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3, as described below:
Stage 1: When loans are first recognized, we recognize an allowance based on 12mECLs. Stage 1 loans also
include facilities where the credit risk has improved and the loan has been reclassified from Stage 2 or Stage 3.
Stage 2: When a loan has shown a significant increase in credit risk since origination, we record an allowance
for the LTECLs. Stage 2 loans also include facilities, where the credit risk has improved and the loan has been
reclassified from Stage 3.
For financial assets for which we have no reasonable expectations of recovering either the entire outstanding
amount, or a proportion thereof, the gross carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced. This is considered a
(partial) derecognition of the financial asset.
We calculate ECLs based on a probability-weighted scenarios and historical data to measure the expected cash
shortfalls, discounted at an approximation to the EIR. A cash shortfall is the difference between the cash flows
that are due to an entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive.
The mechanics of the ECL calculations are outlined below and the key elements are, as follows:
Probability of Default (“PD”) - The PD is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time
horizon. A default may only happen at a certain time over the assessed period, if the facility has not
been previously derecognized and is still in the portfolio.
Loss Given Default (“LGD”) - The LGD is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default
occurs at a given time. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those
that the lender would expect to receive, including from the realization of any collateral. It is usually
expressed as a percentage of the EAD.
The maximum period for which the credit losses are determined is the expected life of a financial
instrument.
Stage 1: The 12mECL is calculated as the portion of LTECLs that represent the ECLs that result from default
events on a financial instrument that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date. We calculate the
12mECL allowance based on the expectation of a default occurring in the 12 months following the reporting
date. These expected 12-month default probabilities are applied to an EAD and multiplied by the expected LGD.
Stage 2: When a loan has shown a significant increase in credit risk since origination, we record an allowance
for the LTECLs. The mechanics are similar to those explained above, but PDs and LGDs are estimated over the
lifetime of the instrument.
Stage 3: For loans considered credit-impaired, we recognize the lifetime expected credit losses for these loans.
The method is similar to that for Stage 2 assets, with the PD set at 100%.
Loan commitments: When estimating LTECLs for undrawn loan commitments, we estimate the expected
portion of the loan commitment that will be drawn down over its expected life. The ECL is then based on the
present value of the expected shortfalls in cash flows if the loan is drawn down. The expected cash shortfalls are
discounted at an approximation to the expected EIR on the loan. For loan commitments, the ECL is recognized
within provisions.
The housing market has a significant macroeconomic impact. Home building is an important portion of GDP
432
growth. Housing activity has a direct impact on the level of employment and income of people in an economy in
view of its large potential for employment. It is, therefore, identified as a key contributor for the growth and
development of an economy. Interest rate, income, GDP growth and house prices are inseparable in their
relationship with each other.
Unemployment rates: With increased migration of population into semi urban and urban areas and
traction for construction giving a positive move to employment into housing segment. Our majority of
clients are self-employed has higher employability and salaried class are contributor to the allied
services in the segment we cater. Unemployment would thinner the housing sector and the markets
with higher ticket sizes demand will be impacted more, where we tend not to have an adverse effect in
imminent period.
GDP growth: GDP growth would however increase overall demand in the market which will lead to
higher investment in the housing sector which will also be further pushed by the increasing
Government focus on this segment. However, a slower growth on GDP is not expected to affect us as a
majority of our clients are just above the bottom of the pyramid, they are mostly into cash and carry
business so macro level changes do not impact much.
Interest rate: Interest rate increase has an adverse effect on investment on housing. Periodically we
study and analyze the affect to have a sense over business. As our significant client base are new to
credit and located into unserved and unreached markets, it allows us to risk the price accordingly and
not have impact much. Low income and end used customer base gives us further leaver as demand
fluctuates due to hike in interest rates.
Collateral repossessed
In its normal course of business, we do not physically repossess properties or other assets in its retail portfolio,
but generally engages external agents to recover funds generally at auctions to settle outstanding debt. Any
surplus funds are returned to the customers/obligors. As a result of this practice, the residential properties under
legal repossession processes are not recorded on the balance sheet and are treated as current assets held for sale
at (i) fair value less cost to sell or (ii) principle outstanding, whichever is less, at the repossession date.
Write-offs
Financial assets are written off either partially or in their entirety only when we have stopped pursuing the
recovery. If the amount to be written off is greater than the accumulated loss allowance, the difference is first
treated as an addition to the allowance that is then applied against the gross carrying amount. Any subsequent
recoveries are credited to profit and loss account.
We measure financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date using valuation
techniques.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the
presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use
when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that
would use the asset in its highest and best use.
We use valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available
to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable
inputs.
433
Dividend
We recognize a liability to make cash distributions to equity holders when the distribution is authorized and the
distribution is no longer at our discretion. Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of
approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the
Board.

Notes to the reconciliation of equity as at March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 and profit or loss for Fiscal 2018
and the three months ended June 30, 2018.
(i) Under Indian GAAP, we have created provision for loans and advances based on the
guidelines on prudential norms issued by the National Housing Bank. Under Ind AS,
impairment allowance has been determined based on expected loss model (“ECL”). Due to
ECL model, we impaired our loans and advances by ₹ 81.73 million on March 31, 2018 (₹
98.47 million as on June 30, 2018) as against provision made under Indian GAAP by ₹ 123.26
million as on March 31, 2018 (₹ 142.55 million as on June 30, 2018). In addition, ECL on off
balance sheet has also been determined as per Ind AS for ₹ 4.74 million as on March 31, 2018
(₹ 4.37 million as on June 30, 2018). The differential impact has been adjusted in retained
earnings/ profit and loss during the year.
(ii) Under Indian GAAP, transaction costs incurred in connection with loans and advances are
amortized upfront and charged to profit or loss for the period. Under Ind AS, transaction costs
are included in the initial recognition amount of financial asset measured at amortized cost and
charged to profit or loss using the effective interest method.
(iii) We have securitized certain assets and under Indian GAAP, have derecognized those assets in
the books. However, as per Ind AS, we have not transferred substantially all the risks and
rewards, the asset has been re-recognized, and we also recognize an associated liability. The
transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and
obligations that we have retained.
(iv) Under Indian GAAP, we have transferred certain assets to asset reconstruction company,
which has been de-recognized from our loan portfolio. Under Ind AS, we have re-recognized
the asset and also recognized an associated liability to the extent of the rights and obligations
retained by us.
2. Other financial assets. Under Ind AS, with respect to assignment deals, we have created an interest
only strip receivable amounting to ₹ 1,067.96 million as on March 31, 2018 (₹ 1,081.66 million as on
June 30, 2018) , with corresponding credit to retained earnings/ profit and loss for the year, which has
been computed by discounting excess interest spread (“EIS”) to present value. Necessary adjustment
437
with respect to credit risk has also been made.
3. Share-based payments. Under Indian GAAP, we recognized only the intrinsic value for the share based
payments plans as an expense. Ind AS requires the fair value of the share options to be determined
using an appropriate pricing model recognized over the vesting period. An additional expense of ₹
35.52 million has been recognized in profit or loss for the period ended June 30, 2018. Share options
totaling ₹ 19.44 million which were granted before and still not vested at April 1, 2017, have been
recognized as a separate component of equity in SBP reserve against retained earnings at April 1, 2017.
4. Borrowings. Under Indian GAAP, transaction costs incurred in connection with borrowings are
amortized upfront and charged to profit or loss for the period. Under Ind AS, transaction costs are
included in the initial recognition amount of financial liability and charged to profit or loss using the
effective interest method.
5. Cross Currency Swaps (“CCS”) not designated as hedging instruments. Under Indian GAAP, we have
considered the critical terms of the CCS and those of the principal term loan are same, based on the
internal assessment carried out by the management, the net impact of the marked to market valuation of
the CCS, net of gain/loss on the underlying loan, is not expected to be material and accordingly no
adjustment has been made in the financial statements. Under Ind AS, derivative which are not
designated as hedging instruments are fair valued with resulting changes being recognized in retained
earnings/profit or loss.
6. Deferred tax. Indian GAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the income statement approach,
which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS 12
requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on
temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its
tax base. The application of Ind AS 12 approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new
temporary differences which was not required under Indian GAAP. In addition, the various transitional
adjustments lead to temporary differences. According to the accounting policies, we have to account
for such differences. Deferred tax adjustments are recognized in correlation to the underlying
transaction either in retained earnings or a separate component of equity. On the date of transition, the
net impact on deferred tax liabilities is of negative ₹ 4.07 million (June 30, 2018: negative ₹ 31.77
million).
Ind AS does not require the creation of DTL on the amount transferred to the special reserve.
Accordingly, DTL created on special reserve as at March 31, 2017 is reversed and the charge through
the statement of profit and loss account in earlier years is also reversed.
7. Remeasurements of post employment benefit plans. Under Ind AS, remeasurements i.e. actuarial gain
and losses on the net defined liability are recognized in other comprehensive income instead of profit or
loss. Under the Indian GAAP, these measurements were forming part of the profit or loss for the year.
Though there is no impact on the total equity as at June 30, 2018.
8. Other comprehensive income. Under Indian GAAP, we have not presented OCI separately. Hence, it
has reconciled Indian GAAP profit or loss to profit or loss as per Ind AS. Further, Indian GAAP profit
or loss is reconciled to total comprehensive income as per Ind AS.
9. Statement of cash flows. The transition from Indian GAAP to Ind AS has not had a material impact on
the statement of cash flows.
10. Figures under Indian GAAP have been regrouped/ reclassified for Ind AS purpose wherever applicable.

FINANCIAL INDEBTEDNESS
Pursuant to a resolution passed by our shareholders on May 30, 2018 the Board (including the executive
committee of the Board) has been authorised to borrow sums of money for the purposes of our Company,
with or without security, upon such terms and conditions as the Board may think fit, which, together with the
monies borrowed by our Company (apart from temporary loans obtained or to be obtained from our

Investors, after taking into account the total number of Bids received up to closure of timings for acceptance of
Bid cum Application Forms as stated herein and reported by the GCBRLMs and BRLM to the Stock Exchanges.
Due to limitation of time available for uploading Bids on the Bid/ Offer Closing Date, Bidders were advised to
submit Bids one day prior to the Bid/ Offer Closing Date and, in any case, no later than 1.00 p.m. (Indian
473
Standard Time) on the Bid/ Offer Closing Date. If a large number of Bids are received on the Bid/ Offer Closing
Date, as is typically experienced in public issues, which may lead to some Bids not being uploaded due to lack
of sufficient time to upload, such Bids that cannot be uploaded on the electronic bidding system will not be
considered for allocation in the Offer. Our Company and the members of the Syndicate will not be responsible
for any failure in uploading Bids due to faults in any hardware/software system or otherwise. Bids will be
accepted only on Working Days.
It was clarified that ASBA Bids not uploaded on the electronic bidding system would be rejected.

Further, our Company shall ensure that the number of prospective allottees to whom the Equity Shares will be

delays, etc. for the Equity Shares being offered in the Offer will be reimbursed by the Selling Shareholders to
our Company in proportion to the Equity Shares being offered for sale by the Selling Shareholders in the Offer,
to the extent that the delay is solely attributable to such Selling Shareholder.
Since the Equity Shares will be traded in dematerialised form only and the market lot for our Equity Shares is
one, there are no arrangements for disposal of odd lots.
Except for lock-in of pre-Offer equity shareholding, minimum Promoters’ contribution and Anchor Investor

three years” on page 88, and as provided in our Articles as detailed in “Main Provisions of the Articles of

various categories of Bidders/Applicants in an Offer depending on compliance with the
eligibility conditions. Certain details pertaining to the percentage of Offer size available for
allocation to each category is disclosed overleaf of the Bid cum Application Form and in
the RHP / Prospectus. For details in relation to allocation, the Bidder/Applicant may refer
to the RHP / Prospectus.
(b) Under-subscription in any category (except QIB category) is allowed to be met with spill-
over from any other category or combination of categories at the discretion of the Issuer
and in consultation with the BRLM and the Designated Stock Exchange and in accordance
with the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Unsubscribed portion in QIB Category is not available

508

subscription may be permitted from the Reserved Portion to the Net Issue. For allocation in
the event of an under-subscription applicable to the Issuer, Bidders/Applicants may refer to

Bidders should note that this example is solely for illustrative purposes and is not specific
to the Issue; it also excludes Bidding by Anchor Investors.
Bidders can bid at any price within the price band. For instance, assume a price band of ₹
20 to ₹ 24 per share, issue size of 3,000 equity shares and receipt of five bids from bidders,
details of which are shown in the table below. The illustrative book given below shows the
demand for the equity shares of the issuer at various prices and is collated from bids
received from various investors.
The price discovery is a function of demand at various prices. The highest price at which
the Issuer is able to Offer the desired number of equity shares is the price at which the
book cuts off, i.e., ₹ 22.00 in the above example. The issuer, in consultation with the book
running lead managers, may finalise the Offer Price at or below such cut-off price, i.e., at
or below ₹ 22.00. All bids at or above this Offer Price and cut-off bids are valid bids and
are considered for allocation in the respective categories.
In case of FPOs, Issuers may opt for an alternate method of Book Building in which only
the Floor Price is specified for the purposes of Bidding (“Alternate Book Building
Process”).
The Issuer may specify the Floor Price in the RHP or advertise the Floor Price at least one
Working Day prior to the Bid/Offer Opening Date. QIBs may Bid at a price higher than the
Floor Price and the Allotment to the QIBs is made on a price priority basis. The Bidder
with the highest Bid Amount is allotted the number of Equity Shares Bid for and then the
second highest Bidder is Allotted Equity Shares and this process continues until all the
Equity Shares have been allotted. RIIs, NIIs and Employees are Allotted Equity Shares at
the Floor Price and allotment to these categories of Bidders is made proportionately. If the
number of Equity Shares Bid for at a price is more than available quantity then the
Allotment may be done on a proportionate basis. Further, the Issuer may place a cap either
in terms of number of specified securities or percentage of issued capital of the Issuer that
may be Allotted to a single Bidder, decide whether a Bidder be allowed to revise the bid
upwards or downwards in terms of price and/or quantity and also decide whether a Bidder
be allowed single or multiple bids.
Applicants may note that there is no Bid cum Application Form in a Fixed Price Issue. As the Offer
Price is mentioned in the Fixed Price Issue therefore on filing of the Prospectus with the RoC, the
Application so submitted is considered as the application form.
Applicants may only use the specified Application Form for the purpose of making an Application in terms
of the Prospectus which may be submitted through the Designated Intermediary.
ASBA Applicants may submit an Application Form either in physical form to the Designated Intermediaries
or in the electronic form to the SCSB or the Designated Branches of the SCSBs authorising blocking of
509
funds that are available in the bank account specified in the Application Form only (“ASBA Account”). The
Application Form is also made available on the websites of the Stock Exchanges at least one day prior to the

cent to Retail Individual Investors; and remaining to (i) individual investors other than Retail Individual
Investors; and (ii) other Applicants including corporate bodies or institutions, irrespective of the number of
specified securities applied for. The unsubscribed portion in either of the categories specified above may be
allocated to the Applicants in the other category.
For details of instructions in relation to the Application Form, Bidders/Applicants may refer to the relevant
section of the GID.

Investors may be on proportionate basis. For Basis of Allotment to Anchor Investors, Bidders/Applicants
may refer to RHP/Prospectus. No Retail Individual Investor will be Allotted less than the minimum Bid Lot
subject to availability of shares in Retail Individual Investor Category and the remaining available shares, if
any will be Allotted on a proportionate basis. The Issuer is required to receive a minimum subscription of
90% of the Offer (excluding any Offer for Sale of specified securities). However, in case the Offer is in the
nature of Offer for Sale only, then minimum subscription may not be applicable.
Bids received from the RIIs at or above the Offer Price may be grouped together to determine the
total demand under this category. If the aggregate demand in this category is less than or equal to
the Retail Category at or above the Offer Price, full Allotment may be made to the RIIs to the extent
of the valid Bids. If the aggregate demand in this category is greater than the allocation to in the
Retail Category at or above the Offer Price, then the maximum number of RIIs who can be Allotted
the minimum Bid Lot will be computed by dividing the total number of Equity Shares available for
Allotment to RIIs by the minimum Bid Lot (“Maximum RII Allottees”). The Allotment to the RIIs
will then be made in the following manner:
(a) In the event the number of RIIs who have submitted valid Bids in the Offer is equal to or
less than Maximum RII Allottees, (i) all such RIIs shall be Allotted the minimum Bid Lot;
and (ii) the balance available Equity Shares, if any, remaining in the Retail Category shall
be Allotted on a proportionate basis to the RIIs who have received Allotment as per (i)
above for the balance demand of the Equity Shares Bid by them (i.e. who have Bid for
more than the minimum Bid Lot).
(b) In the event the number of RIIs who have submitted valid Bids in the Offer is more than
Maximum RII Allottees, the RIIs (in that category) who will then be Allotted minimum
Bid Lot shall be determined on the basis of draw of lots.
Bids received from NIIs at or above the Offer Price may be grouped together to determine the total
demand under this category. The Allotment to all successful NIIs may be made at or above the
Offer Price. If the aggregate demand in this category is less than or equal to the Non-Institutional
Category at or above the Offer Price, full Allotment may be made to NIIs to the extent of their
demand. In case the aggregate demand in this category is greater than the Non-Institutional
Category at or above the Offer Price, Allotment may be made on a proportionate basis up to a
minimum of the Non-Institutional Category.
For the Basis of Allotment to Anchor Investors, Bidders/Applicants may refer to the SEBI ICDR
Regulations or RHP / Prospectus. Bids received from QIBs Bidding in the QIB Category (net of
Anchor Portion) at or above the Offer Price may be grouped together to determine the total demand
under this category. The QIB Category may be available for Allotment to QIBs who have Bid at a
price that is equal to or greater than the Offer Price. Allotment may be undertaken in the following
510
manner:
(a) In the first instance allocation to Mutual Funds for up to 5% of the QIB Category may be
determined as follows: (i) In the event that Bids by Mutual Fund exceeds 5% of the QIB
Category, allocation to Mutual Funds may be done on a proportionate basis for up to 5% of
the QIB Category; (ii) In the event that the aggregate demand from Mutual Funds is less
than 5% of the QIB Category then all Mutual Funds may get full allotment to the extent of
valid Bids received above the Offer Price; and (iii) Equity Shares remaining unsubscribed,
if any and not allocated to Mutual Funds may be available for allotment to all QIBs as set
out at paragraph 7.4(b) below;
(b) In the second instance, allotment to all QIBs may be determined as follows: (i) In the event
of oversubscription in the QIB Category, all QIBs who have submitted Bids above the
Offer Price may be Allotted Equity Shares on a proportionate basis for up to 95% of the
QIB Category; (ii) Mutual Funds, who have received allocation as per (a) above, for less
than the number of Equity Shares Bid for by them, are eligible to receive Equity Shares on
a proportionate basis along with other QIBs; and (iii) Under-subscription below 5% of the
QIB Category, if any, from Mutual Funds, may be included for allocation to the remaining
QIBs on a proportionate basis.
(a) Allocation of Equity Shares to Anchor Investors at the Anchor Investor Offer Price will be
at the discretion of the issuer subject to compliance with the following requirements:
i. not more than 60% of the QIB Category will be allocated to Anchor Investors;

(c) In the event that the Offer Price is higher than the Anchor Investor Offer Price:
Anchor Investors will be sent a revised CAN within one day of the Pricing Date indicating

511
RESERVED CATEGORY IN CASE OF OVER-SUBSCRIBED ISSUE
In the event of the Offer being over-subscribed, the Issuer may finalise the Basis of Allotment in
consultation with the Designated Stock Exchange in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
The allocation may be made in marketable lots, on a proportionate basis as explained below:
(a) Bidders may be categorized according to the number of Equity Shares applied for;
(b) The total number of Equity Shares to be Allotted to each category as a whole may be
arrived at on a proportionate basis, which is the total number of Equity Shares applied for
in that category (number of Bidders in the category multiplied by the number of Equity
Shares applied for) multiplied by the inverse of the over-subscription ratio;
(c) The number of Equity Shares to be Allotted to the successful Bidders may be arrived at on
a proportionate basis, which is total number of Equity Shares applied for by each Bidder in
that category multiplied by the inverse of the over-subscription ratio;
(d) In all Bids where the proportionate Allotment is less than the minimum Bid Lot decided
per Bidder, the Allotment may be made as follows: the successful Bidders out of the total
Bidders for a category may be determined by a draw of lots in a manner such that the total
number of Equity Shares Allotted in that category is equal to the number of Equity Shares
calculated in accordance with (b) above; and each successful Bidder may be Allotted a
minimum of such Equity Shares equal to the minimum Bid Lot finalised by the Issuer;
(e) If the proportionate Allotment to a Bidder is a number that is more than the minimum Bid
Lot but is not a multiple of one (which is the marketable lot), the decimal may be rounded
off to the higher whole number if that decimal is 0.5 or higher. If that number is lower than
0.5 it may be rounded off to the lower whole number. Allotment to all bidders in such
categories may be arrived at after such rounding off; and
(f) If the Equity Shares allocated on a proportionate basis to any category are more than the
Equity Shares Allotted to the Bidders in that category, the remaining Equity Shares
available for allotment may be first adjusted against any other category, where the Allotted
Equity Shares are not sufficient for proportionate Allotment to the successful Bidders in
that category. The balance Equity Shares, if any, remaining after such adjustment may be
added to the category comprising Bidders applying for minimum number of Equity Shares.
(a) Designated Date: On the Designated Date, the Escrow Bank shall transfer the funds
represented by allocation of Equity Shares to Anchor Investors from the Escrow
