This summary should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by, the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Red Herring Prospectus, including ‘Risk Factors’, ‘The Issue’, ‘Capital Structure’, ‘Objects of the Issue’, ‘Industry Overview’, ‘Business Overview’, ‘Financial Information’, ‘Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments’, ‘Issue Procedure’, and ‘Description of Equity Shares and Terms of Articles of Association’ beginning on page 32, 52, 66, 77, 95, 115, 167, 182, 223 and 255, respectively of this Red Herring Prospectus. 1. Primary Business of the Company TSC India Limited (TSC) is a travel management company focused on serving the B2B and corporate sectors. The company specializes in providing comprehensive air ticketing services tailored to the requirements of its business clients. TSC works in close collaboration with airlines and travel agents to deliver cost-effective and streamlined travel solutions. For detailed information on our business activities, please refer to section titled ‘Business Overview’ on page 115 of this Red Herring Prospectus. 2. Summary of industry in which the company is operating The global economy, which grew by 3.3% in 2023, is expected to record a sluggish growth of 3.2% in 2024 before rising modestly to 3.3% in 2025. In 2021-2022, global banks were carrying a historically high debt burden after COVID-19. Central banks took tight monetary measures to control inflation and spike in commodity prices. Russia's war with Ukraine further affected the global supply chains and inflated the prices of energy and other food items. These factors coupled with war-related economic sanctions impacted the economic activities in Europe. Any further escalation in the war may further affect the rebound of the economy in Europe. In 2023, the travel and tourism sector contributed approximately USD 9.9 trillion to global GDP, representing around 9.1% of the global economy. This marks a recovery from the pandemic but remains about 4% below the pre-pandemic contribution of 10.4% in 2019. The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) projects that by 2024, the sector's contribution will reach a record USD11.1 trillion, reflecting a significant 21% increase from 2019 levels. This growth underscores the sector's resilience and its critical role in the global economy, driven by factors such as the release of pent-up travel demand, increased international connectivity, and supportive government policies. For detailed information on our business activities, please refer to section titled ‘Industry Overview’ on page 95 of this Red Herring Prospectus. 3.

Investor should carefully consider all the information in this Red Herring Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment in our Equity Shares. To obtain a more complete understanding, you should read this section together with Sections titled, ‘Business Overview’, ‘The Issue’, ‘Industry Overview’, ‘Restated Consolidated Financial Statements’, ‘Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments’ and ‘Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations’ beginning on page 115,52, 95, 167, 182 and 172 respectively, as well as the other financial and statistical information contained in this Red Herring Prospectus. Any of the following risks, as well as the other risks and uncertainties discussed in this Red Herring Prospectus, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and could cause the trading price of our Equity Shares to decline, which could result in the loss of all or a part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described in this section are not the only risks that we may face. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and Red Herring Prospectus. This Red Herring Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements because of certain factors, including the considerations described below and elsewhere in this Red Herring Prospectus. The financial and other related implications of risks concerned, wherever quantifiable, have been disclosed in the risk factors mentioned below. However, there are certain risk factors where the effect is not quantifiable and hence has not been disclosed in such risk factors. You should not invest in this Issuing unless you are prepared to accept the risk of losing all or part of your investment, and you should consult your tax, financial and legal advisors about the consequences to you of an investment in the Equity Shares. The financial information in this section is, unless otherwise stated, derived from our Restated Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP, as per the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI (ICDR) Regulations. The Risk factors have been determined on the basis of their materiality. The following factors have been considered for determining the materiality. • Some risks may not be material individually but may be material when considered collectively. • Some risks may have material impact qualitatively instead of quantitatively. • Some risks may not be material at present but may have a material impact in the future. Business Related Risk Internal Issue Related Risk Risk Industry Related Other INTERNAL RISK FACTOR 1. Our Company operations requires significant amount of working capital for a continuing growth. Our inability to meet our working capital requirements may adversely affect our results of operations. Our Company’s business operations require a significant amount of working capital. In our business, working capital is often required to support the time gap between receipt of funds from our buyers and 32 | Pa gepayment to our suppliers. The funds are also required for salaries of employees since manpower is the major cost in our business. There exist a requirement of working capital and financing in the form of fund and non- fund based working capital facilities to meet our requirements. The details of our working capital for period ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 are as under which is showing continuous increase: Particulars 2022-23 2023-24 2024-25 2025-26 2026-27 Audited Audited Audited Estimated Estimated Net working capital 1,274.96 1,649.76 2,589.35 2,966.02 4,384.21 (₹ in Lakhs) Working capital turnover ratio 0.68 1.13 0.93 1.05 1.00 (in times) * Operating cycle (in days) 2 4 8 5 6 *Working capital turnover ratio is calculated as Revenue from operations divided by the Net working capital. **Operating cycle is calculated as difference of trade receivables turnover ratio and trade payable turnover ratio, both of which are calculated on the Gross Transaction Value (GTV). As depicted by the above data, the operating cycle of the Company ranges between 3-6 days of the Gross Transaction Value (GTV). The Company is looking to expand its operations by selling more tickets and increasing the Gross Transaction Value (GTV). This indicates that our Company will require working capital to support such growth initiatives. We will also continue to incur expenditure in maintaining and growing our existing infrastructure, developing and implementing new technologies as part of our platform and solutions. While we have historically funded our working capital requirements primarily through our cash flow from operations and borrowings, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient capital resources for our current operations or any future expansion plans that we may have. In the event, we are unable to source the required amount of working capital, we might not be able to efficiently satisfy the demand of our clients in a timely manner or at all. Even if we are able to source the required amount of funds, we cannot assure you that such funds would be sufficient to meet our cost estimates, which could have adverse effect on our financial conditions and results of operations. 2. Our business is significantly dependent on the global travel and tourism industry, and adverse developments in this industry could materially affect our operations, financial performance, and growth prospects. Our revenue is primarily derived from the global travel and tourism sector, which is highly sensitive to a range of economic, geopolitical, and environmental factors. These include general economic conditions, consumer and business confidence levels, safety concerns (actual or perceived), fluctuations in interest and exchange rates, fuel price volatility, availability and cost of financing, unemployment levels, and the overall cost of travel. Given that a substantial portion of our revenue is generated through fees associated with air ticketing services, our business is particularly vulnerable to factors that impact the demand for air travel. For additional details regarding our revenue model, please refer to the section titled ‘Business Overview’ on page 115 of this Red Herring Prospectus. If air travel and other forms of tourism experience prolonged periods of reduced demand due to any of the aforementioned factors or other unforeseen circumstances, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects. 3. Our offices, including our Registered Office and Branch Offices, are located on leased premises, and any disruption in these lease arrangements could adversely affect our business, operations, and financial performance. All our offices, including our Registered Office and Branch Offices, are situated on premises that we do not own but operate under lease, leave and license agreements, or rental deeds. The terms of these agreements typically range from 11 months to nine years and often include a lock-in period for a specified duration. The renewal of these agreements depends on various factors, including mutual agreement on terms, prevailing market conditions, and the willingness of the landlords to extend the lease. 33 | Pa geFor further details regarding our lease arrangements, please refer to the section titled “Business Overview” on page 115 of this Red Herring Prospectus. Our reliance on leased premises exposes us to several risks. If any of these agreements are terminated, not renewed, or renewed on terms that are unfavourable to us, we may be required to vacate the premises at short notice. In such cases, identifying and securing alternate premises suitable for our business operations within a limited timeframe may prove challenging. Additionally, any delays or disruptions in relocating to a new office could lead to operational inefficiencies, increased costs, and potential loss of business opportunities. Furthermore, we are subject to risks arising from any adverse developments affecting the ownership rights of our landlords, such as legal disputes, encumbrances, or government actions. Any such events could impede our ability to continue operations at these premises, further exacerbating the risk to our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. While we have not faced any of the aforementioned challenges during the last three Fiscal years, we cannot assure you that such issues will not take place in the future. 4. Our business relies on a limited number of suppliers, and any adverse changes in these relationships or our inability to establish new ones could negatively impact our operations and financial performance. We depend on a select group of suppliers for a significant portion of our Gross Transaction Value (GTV). These supplier relationships are critical to our ability to provide buyers with access to a wide range of travel services and products. Any adverse developments in these relationships, such as changes in terms, reduction in inventory availability, or termination of agreements, could significantly impact our offerings. For instance, a supplier withdrawing its inventory from our platform could either limit the variety of products available to our customers or result in the complete unavailability of that supplier’s inventory on our platform. Additionally, some suppliers are increasingly focusing on driving online traffic to their own platforms, which could result in reduced access to their travel inventory in the future. Although we have not faced disruptions due to suppliers modifying their arrangements with us during the last three Fiscal years, we remain exposed to the risk of such changes. Furthermore, any adverse changes in our relationships with key suppliers, including the complete withdrawal of their inventory or delays in fulfilling payment obligations related to refunds and incentives, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations The table below sets forth the contribution of our top suppliers to our Gross Transaction Value (“GTV”) for the periods indicated: (INR in Lakhs) Fiscal Year 2023 2024 2025 Particulars % of % of % of GTV GTV GTV Total Total Total Top Supplier 8,860 21% 13,550 19% 17,230 21% Top Three Suppliers 17,335 41% 27,165 38% 29,107 36% Top Five Suppliers 23,148 54% 37,564 52% 39,386 49% Top Ten Suppliers 31,832 75% 51,018 71% 56,087 70% * Suppliers may vary across Fiscal years / period and does not refer to the same Supplier across all Fiscal / period. 5. Our suppliers may modify the terms of our arrangements, including reducing or eliminating commissions, incentives, or other compensation payable to us, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our business depends significantly on commissions, incentives (including performance-linked bonuses), and other compensation paid to us by our suppliers. Any reduction or elimination of such payments, or defaults and disputes regarding these obligations, could adversely impact our revenue. Additionally, suppliers may impose restrictions on our ability to charge convenience fees or other service charges to customers. As part of routine business operations, commission and incentive structures are periodically reviewed and adjusted by suppliers. While these adjustments have not resulted in any adverse effects on our business during the last three Fiscal years, we cannot guarantee that future modifications will not negatively affect us. A reduction in commissions or fees payable by suppliers could lead to a decline in our revenues unless we are able to offset this by increasing service or convenience fees charged to buyers or by sustainably increasing 34 | Pa getransaction volumes. However, increasing service or convenience fees may make our platform less competitive, potentially resulting in the loss of buyers and a reduction in our Gross Transaction Value (GTV). Further, we cannot assure you that suppliers will not: • Make their products or services unavailable to us. • Enter into exclusive agreements with our competitors. • Default on or dispute their payment or other obligations towards us, requiring us to pursue legal or arbitration proceedings. • Cease their business operations or shut down due to financial, regulatory, or market challenges beyond our control. Such actions by our suppliers could disrupt our operations, impact the availability of travel inventory, and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The table below provides details of our take rate from air ticketing for Fiscal 2023, 2024 and 2025: (INR in Lakhs) Particulars FY 2023 FY 2024 FY 2025 Take Rate 869.54 1,864.12 2,404.97 GTV 42,652.96 71,902.54 80,587.84 Take rate as a % of GTV 2.04% 2.59% 2.98% 6. If we experience a cyber security breach or other security incident or unauthorized parties otherwise obtain access to our Suppliers, Buyers or end travelers’ data or our data, our platform and products may be perceived as not being secure, our reputation may be harmed, demand for our platform and products may reduce and we may incur significant liabilities. We collect, process, store, share, disclose and use limited personal information and other data provided by customers, including names, addresses, e-mail IDs, bank account numbers, and phone numbers. To effect secure transmission of such information, we rely on, security measures such as firewalls, web content filtering, encryption and authentication technology. Unauthorized use of, or inappropriate access to, our networks, computer systems or services could potentially jeopardize the security of such confidential information. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service or sabotage systems change frequently and often are not recognized until launched against a target. We may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. Non-technical means, such as actions (or inactions) by an employee, can also result in a data breach. We cannot assure you that any security measures taken by us will be effective in preventing these activities. We may need to expend resources to protect against security breaches or to address problems caused by such breaches. While there has been no such cyber security breach during the last three Fiscal years which had a significant impact on our operations, we cannot assure you that such breaches will not occur in the future. 7. Certain unsecured loans availed by us may be recalled by lenders, which could adversely affect our financial condition and cash flows. As of March 31, 2025, we had availed unsecured loans aggregating to ₹180.17 Lakhs. These loans are not backed by any collateral, and the lenders may, at their discretion, recall such loans at any time in accordance with the terms of the financing agreements. If such loans are recalled, we may be required to arrange for alternative financing or repay the amounts on short notice, which could strain our liquidity position and cash flows. Further, any failure on our part to service these loans or comply with the terms and conditions of such financing arrangements may result in acceleration of repayment obligations. This could lead to financial instability and may adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. While we have not experienced any instances of lenders recalling unsecured loans or defaulting on repayment obligations in the past three Fiscal years, there can be no assurance that such situations will not arise in the future. Any such event may require us to divert funds from our operations, seek additional borrowings, or liquidate assets, which could adversely impact our financial performance and growth prospects. For further information, please refer to the section titled ‘Financial Indebtedness’ on page 170. 8. We rely on third-party web-hosting providers, and any disruption, technical issues, or failures on their part could adversely affect our platform’s performance, user experience, and business operations. 35 | Pa geOur business depends on the uninterrupted and reliable performance of our platform, which is hosted by third-party web-hosting providers. Any technical issues, errors, defects, or disruptions in their services could result in interruptions or delays in access to our platform, adversely impacting the user experience for our buyers. Additionally, if our web-hosting providers face financial difficulties, cybersecurity breaches, or bandwidth constraints, or decide to close their facilities without adequate notice, it may cause significant disruptions to our operations. As our business grows, we require increasing capacity and bandwidth to meet buyer demands. If our web- hosting providers are unable to keep up with these needs or fail to provide reliable services, we may incur delays and additional expenses to secure alternative hosting solutions. Such disruptions could harm our brand reputation, erode buyer trust, and negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. While we take measures to monitor and manage our relationships with these providers, we cannot guarantee that such issues will not occur in the future, and any failure on their part could materially affect our ability to provide a seamless and consistent platform experience to our buyers. Currently, our website is hosted by Traversia Technology Private Limited, and after assessing the costs of in-house servers, we have decided to continue with this third-party arrangement. 9. Our Company has delayed in complying with certain statutory provisions under various laws. Such delayed compliance /lapses may attract certain penalties. Our Company is required to comply with various statutory provisions and make timely filings under applicable laws, including the Companies Act, 2013, and other relevant regulations. These statutory filings are critical to ensure transparency, regulatory compliance, and smooth functioning of our business operations. While we endeavor to comply with all applicable laws and file required forms and returns within the prescribed timelines, there have been instances of delays in meeting certain filing requirements due to various reasons, including administrative oversights or technical issues. The delays include: Sr. No Form Financial Year Date of filing Additional Fees (INR) 1 Form 20B 2010-2011 29-03-2012 2700 2 Form 20B 2011-2012 25-01-2014 2700 3 Form 20B 2012-2013 25-01-2014 2700 4 Form 20B 2013-2014 21-01-2015 1600 5 Form MGT-7 2023-2024 23-12-2024 2400 6 Form 23AC and Form 23ACA 2007-2008 12-11-2008 300 7 Form 23AC and Form 23ACA 2010-2011 29-01-2012 2700 8 Form 23AC and Form 23ACA 2011-2012 25-01-2014 2700 9 Form 23AC and Form 23ACA 2012-2013 25-01-2014 1800 10 Form AOC-4 2023-2024 23-12-2024 3600 11 Form PAS-3 2015-2016 29-05-2015 1000 12 Form CHG-1 2014-2015 15-12-2014 800 13 Form CHG-1 2014-2015 31-01-2015 800 14 Form DIR-12 2024-2025 05-08-2024 1200 15 Form DIR-12 2024-2025 19-12-2024 1200 16 Form ADT-1 2024-2025 10-08-2024 1200 In the past, such delays have resulted in the payment of late fees, and while no show-cause notice or adverse action has been received to date, there is no assurance that regulatory authorities may not impose penalties or initiate actions against us in the future. Any such penalties, actions, or reputational damage arising from these delays could adversely affect our financial condition and operational stability. We remain committed to improving our compliance mechanisms and have implemented measures to strengthen internal controls, enhance monitoring processes, and minimize the risk of future delays. Despite these efforts, any potential non-compliance or delay in the future could expose us to penalties, regulatory scrutiny, or other adverse consequences, which may impact our business, results of operations, and reputation. 10. Pending adjudication of penalty for delay in filing Form CFS AOC-4 may adversely affect our financial condition and reputation. Our Company is subject to regulatory compliance requirements under the Companies Act, 2013, including the timely filing of Form CFS AOC-4 for consolidated financial statements. For the financial years 2021– 36 | Pa ge22, 2022–23 and 2023-24 there were delays in filing the required forms with the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Consequently, the Company has filed an application in Form GNL-1 (for filing an application to ROC for adjudication of penalty) and GNL-2 (for submission of documents with ROC for adjudication of penalty) and revision of Form AOC-4 for the financial years 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 with the concerned authority. The Registrar of Companies (RoC) has marked the previously filed AOC-4 forms for the financial years 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 as defective, as communicated to the Company on January 22, 2025. In compliance with the RoC’s directive, the Company has duly filed rectified AOC-4 forms along with the AOC-4 CFS (Consolidated Financial Statements) for financial years 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24. The penalty for this matter is yet to be determined by the RoC. However, under the Companies Act, 2013, potential penalties for non-compliance may include penalties under: • Section 129(7) – Financial Statements • Section 134(8) – Financial Statements and Board’s Report • Section 137(3) – Filing of Financial Statements While we have taken corrective action to address the issue and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, the adjudication process is still pending, and there is no assurance that the outcome will be favorable. If penalties are imposed, they may impact our financial condition to the extent of the amount levied. Additionally, instances of non-compliance, even if rectified, may affect our reputation and credibility with stakeholders, including investors, regulatory authorities, and business partners. We remain committed to strengthening our internal compliance mechanisms to prevent such delays in the future. However, any adverse outcome in the adjudication process could impact our financial position and reputation. 11. We may incur costs, including those not within our control, which we may not be able to pass on to our Buyers. We are dependent on third parties including hosting, bandwidth facilities and payment gateway services. Our hosting, bandwidth facilities and payment gateway costs of services and other related costs, which are often not within our control, may increase significantly and our third-party service providers may decide to impose these additional costs on us. We may, therefore, be susceptible to certain unforeseen increase in our hosting and bandwidth expenses, details of which are set out in the table below for the periods indicated: (₹ in Lakhs) Particulars FY 2023 FY 2024 FY 2025 API Charges 2.22 10.26 0.25 Hosting, Portal setup and AMC 2.44 6.04 0.08 Software maintenance 2.36 3.95 3.14 If we fail to pass on any unanticipated increases in such costs to our Buyers, in the form of higher fees, commission, incentive or other compensation paid to us, whether entirely or in part, due to competitive pressures or other reasons, our business, operating margins and profitability may be adversely affected. Further, disagreements on such costs over a sustained period of time may lead to a loss of Buyers which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. 12. We work with third parties to provide many of the services offered on our platform. Actions of these parties are outside our control and could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently rely on third-party systems, service providers and software companies such as global distribution systems (“GDSs”), IT infra platform, website handling, electronic central reservation systems used by airlines, offline and online channel management systems and, technologies used by payment gateway providers, mapping tools, exchange rate interfaces, customer service tools. We may not be able to fully control the actions of these third parties and the quality of their performance. If these third parties fail to perform as we expect, experience difficulty meeting our requirements or standards, fail to conduct their business ethically, fail to provide satisfactory performance for us and our customers purposes, receive negative press coverage, violate applicable laws or regulations, breach their agreements with us, or if the agreements we have entered into with such third parties are terminated or not renewed, our business and reputation may be adversely affected. In addition, if such third-parties cease operations, temporarily or permanently, face financial distress or other business disruptions, increase their fees, or if our 37 | Pa gerelationships with them deteriorate, we could be involved in legal or administrative proceedings against them and experience delays in providing customers with our usual offerings until we find or develop a suitable alternative. Further, while there have been no material instances of disruption during the last three Fiscal years in relation to the services rendered by such third parties, if we are unsuccessful in effectively managing these relationships, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. 13. Our Company was incorporated in 2003 and we are unable to trace some of our historical records. We cannot assure you that no legal proceedings or regulatory actions will be initiated against our Company in the future in relation to the missing filings and corporate records, which may impact our financial condition and reputation. Our Company was incorporated in 2003 and we have been unable to trace Form 23ACA and Form 23B filed with RoC including the payment challans thereof. We have included the requisite details on the basis of search report issued by an independent Practicing Company Secretary pursuant to their inspection and independent verification of the documents available or maintained by our Company and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Accordingly, we have relied on the certificate dated December 23, 2024, issued by Shiva Gupta & Associates, Practicing Company Secretary. We cannot assure you that no legal proceedings or regulatory actions will be initiated against our Company in the future in relation to the missing filings and corporate records, which may impact our financial condition and reputation. While no legal proceedings or regulatory action has been initiated against our Company in relation to the unavailable filings and statutory lapses as of the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, we cannot assure you that such proceedings or regulatory actions will not be initiated against our Company in the future in relation to the missing filings and corporate records. The actual amount of the penalty which may be imposed or loss which may be suffered by our Company cannot be ascertained at this stage and depends on the circumstances of any potential action which may be brought against our Company. We cannot assure you that any such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or reputation. 14. We are dependent on our Individual Promoters, the Key Managerial Personnel and the Senior Management Personnel and the loss of, or our inability to hire, retain, train, and motivate qualified personnel could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our ability to compete in the highly competitive travel distribution industry depends upon our ability to attract, motivate, and retain qualified personnel. We are highly dependent on the continued contributions of our Directors, Mr. Ashish Kumar Mittal, Mrs. Puja Mittal and Mr. Vinay Gupta who have remained actively involved in the business. We are also dependent on our senior management and other key management personnel, and believe that our senior management and their understanding of the industry trends and market changes have been instrumental in the success of our brand amongst our customers. The loss of the services of our key personnel and any of our other executive officers, and our inability to find suitable replacements, could result in a decline in revenues, delays in product development, and harm to our business and operations. We may incur significant costs to attract and recruit skilled personnel, and we may lose new personnel to our competitors or other technology companies before we realize the benefit of our investment in recruiting and training them. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel who are capable of meeting our growing technical, operational, and managerial requirements on a timely basis or at all, our business may be adversely affected. 15. Failure to obtain or renew approvals, licenses, registrations and permits to operate our business in a timely manner, or at all, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. We are required to obtain certain approvals, registrations, permissions and licenses from regulatory authorities in various jurisdictions, to carry out/ undertake our operations. These approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions may be subject to certain conditions. If we fail to obtain some or all of these approvals or licenses, or renewals thereof, in a timely manner or at all, or if we fail to comply with applicable conditions or it is claimed that we have breached any such conditions, our license or permission for carrying on a particular activity may be suspended or cancelled and we may not be able to carry on such activity, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows, existing investments and financial condition. For instance, our Company has applied for renewal of registrations under relevant shops and establishments 38 | Pa gelegislations for certain of its offices. For further information on the nature of approvals and licenses required for our business by us and our subsidiary, see “Government and Other Approvals” on page 189. In addition, we have, and may need to in the future, apply for certain additional approvals, including the renewal of approvals, which may expire from time to time. There is no assurance that such approvals and licenses will be granted or renewed in a timely manner or at all by the relevant governmental or regulatory authorities. Failure to obtain or renew such approvals and licenses in a timely manner would lead to imposition of restriction on some of our activities and penalties by relevant authorities. Our licenses and approvals are subject to various conditions, including periodic renewal and maintenance standards. Any actual or alleged failure on our part to comply with the terms and conditions of such regulatory licenses and registrations could expose us to legal action, compliance costs or liabilities, or could affect our ability to continue to operate at the locations or in the manner in which we have been operating thus far. 16. If we are unable to provide an attractive and user-friendly travel platform to our buyers, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our ability to attract and retain buyers on our platform depends on several factors, including our capacity to offer a seamless, user-friendly, and innovative travel booking experience. This involves maintaining a relevant and engaging marketplace, introducing new products and services that enhance user satisfaction, and providing accurate, real-time information such as pricing, tour package details, and transactional updates. Additionally, integrating emerging technologies, alternative payment solutions, and efficient algorithms to personalize content and improve user engagement is critical to our success. If we fail to meet buyer expectations in terms of platform performance, ease of use, or product offerings, the number of buyers using our platform may decline. Such a decline could reduce the service charges, convenience fees, and other revenues generated from buyer transactions, thereby adversely impacting our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We remain focused on continuously enhancing our platform's technological capabilities, improving user experience, and expanding our offerings to meet the evolving needs of buyers. However, any inability to adapt to market trends or changing buyer preferences could limit our growth and competitiveness in the travel management industry. The table below provides details of our booking and customer registration patterns for Fiscal 2023, 2024 and 2025: Fiscal Year FY 2023 FY 2024 FY 2025 Total Bookings 60,829 1,09,451 1,62,975 Booking per Day* 167 300 447 Gross transaction value (GTV) 42,652.96 71,902.54 80,587.84 (₹ in Lakhs) Total customers registered 1,023 1,513 2,996 17. Our brand image is integral to our success and if we are unable to effectively maintain, promote and enhance our brand, and conduct our sales and marketing activities effectively, our business and reputation may be adversely affected. Our brand image plays a critical role in attracting and retaining buyers in the highly competitive air ticketing and travel management industry. The success of our business is closely tied to our ability to maintain a strong, trustworthy, and recognizable brand that resonates with buyers seeking reliable, cost-effective, and seamless travel solutions. Any negative publicity, adverse customer experiences, service disruptions, or failure to meet buyer expectations could harm our brand reputation. Furthermore, our ability to promote and enhance our brand “TSC” depends on the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts. If we are unable to develop and execute successful marketing strategies, adapt to changing market trends, or allocate sufficient resources to brand-building initiatives, we may struggle to differentiate ourselves from competitors. Additionally, any missteps in advertising, failure to leverage digital platforms effectively, or inability to target the right customer segments could limit our brand reach and recognition. A decline in our brand value or ineffective marketing activities could result in reduced buyer trust, lower transaction volumes, and loss of market share, thereby adversely affecting our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Maintaining and enhancing our brand image requires continuous investment, innovation, and a strong focus on delivering exceptional customer experiences. Failure to do so could hinder our ability to grow and sustain our market position. 39 | Pa geThe table below details our advertising and business promotion spend for Fiscal 2023, 2024 and 2025: (₹ in Lakhs) Particulars FY 2023 FY 2024 FY 2025 Advertising and business promotion 0.23 0.25 0.07 As of March 31, 2025, we have 8 sales team members across India, who are key to driving the growth of our business. Our sales and marketing activities are primarily focused on increasing the number of Buyers on our platform and empowering them to do additional bookings on our platform. 18. Our contingent liabilities as stated in our Restated Consolidated Financial Statements could adversely affect our financial condition. Below are the contingent liabilities, as on March 31, 2025, as disclosed in our Restated Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with applicable accounting standards: (₹ in lakhs) Particulars FY 2025 Bank Guarantee in favor of third parties - Travel Agents Federation of India (TAFI) 1,000.00 - HDFC Bank 1,500.00 Demand from Income Tax Authorities 183.29 Demand from Service Tax Authorities 7.39 Civil Litigation 4.81 Total 2,695.49 These liabilities primarily include bank guarantees, income tax demands, service tax demands and civil litigation, as detailed below: - Bank Guarantees (₹2,500.00 lakhs): The Company has furnished two bank guarantees in favour of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to secure airline payments. In case the Company defaults on the payments to its payables, the bank guarantee will be invoked, and full recovery will be made by IATA. - Income Tax Demand (₹183.29 lakhs): Demands raised by the Income Tax Assessing Officer are currently under appeal with the CIT Appeals, Jalandhar. The Company believes that the case does not impact its going concern status and does not necessitate a provision. - Service Tax Demand (₹7.39 lakhs): Demands raised by the Service Tax Assessing Officer are currently under appeal with the CESTAT, Chandigarh. The Company believes that the case does not impact its going concern status and does not necessitate a provision. - Civil Litigation (₹4.81 lakhs): The Company has been named as a party in a complaint primarily against Air India. The case is ongoing, with the next hearing scheduled for September 17, 2025. While these contingent liabilities do not currently have a material adverse impact on our financial position, any unfavourable rulings or developments could affect our profitability and cash flows. We remain committed to monitoring these matters closely and ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. For more details, please refer to section titled ‘Outstanding Litigation And Material Developments’ on page 182 of this Red Herring Prospectus. 19. In the past Company had delayed in the EPF and GST returns. This may adversely affect the financial performance and regulatory compliance of the company. The Company's past delays in GST returns indicate a failure to meet regulatory compliance obligations. Such non-compliance can have serious consequences, including penalties, fines, legal actions, and reputational damage. The delays in GST can result in interest liabilities, penal charges, and strained relationships with client. The details of delay in filing of GSTR-3B returns for FY 2021-22 is provided as below: Type Month Date filed Due date Delay GSTR 3B July 21-08-2021 20-08-2021 1 day GSTR 3B April 02-06-2021 20-05-2021 13 days Further, there have been few instances of delay in EPF and ESIC returns as provided below: 40 | Pa geType Month Date filed Due date Delay EPF May 17-06-2021 15-06-2021 2 days EPF March 16-04-2021 15-04-2021 1 day ESI November 31-12-2021 15-12-2021 16 days ESI August 16-09-2020 15-09-2020 1 day Additionally, late filing of GST returns may attract penalties and disrupt the Company's cash flow, hindering its ability to meet financial obligations and impacting liquidity. The impact of past delays extends beyond financial implications. Regulatory authorities may increase scrutiny on the Company's operations due to non- compliance with EPF and GST requirements, leading to audits, investigations, and potential legal actions. This can divert management's attention from core business activities and cause operational disruptions. Moreover, the Company's reputation among stakeholders, including employees, investors, suppliers, and customers, may be compromised due to persistent delays in EPF payments and GST returns. Negative publicity and loss of trust can have long-term consequences, affecting business relationships and the Company's growth prospects. It is important for prospective investors to consider the potential risks and consequences associated with the delay in EPF payments and GST returns while evaluating the investment opportunity. The company shall implement robust systems. 20. Dependence on Credit Card Companies and Consumer Financing Options May Adversely Impact Our Business A significant portion of our revenue is derived from airline ticketing transactions facilitated through credit cards and other consumer financing options. Our ability to process payments efficiently depends on our relationships with credit card companies, payment processors, and financial institutions. Any disruption, restriction, or adverse change in these relationships such as increased transaction fees, stricter credit approval processes, or termination of agreements could negatively impact our business operations and profitability. Additionally, consumer demand for our services is influenced by the availability and affordability of credit card financing. Economic downturns, regulatory changes, or increased interest rates may reduce consumer access to credit, leading to lower transaction volumes and a decline in our revenue. While we continuously work to diversify our payment options and strengthen partnerships with financial institutions, any significant disruption in credit card processing or reduced consumer access to financing could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 21. Lack of Experience of Independent Directors in Listed Entities May Impact Corporate Governance and Compliance None of the independent directors of our Company have prior experience serving as directors in a listed entity. While they bring valuable expertise in their respective fields, their lack of direct exposure to the regulatory and governance framework applicable to listed companies may pose challenges in ensuring full compliance with SEBI regulations, stock exchange requirements, and other corporate governance norms. To mitigate this risk, our Company has established a training and orientation program to familiarize the independent directors with the responsibilities, compliance obligations, and best practices applicable to listed entities. Additionally, the Board is supported by experienced professionals and external advisors to ensure adherence to regulatory requirements. However, despite these measures, any delay in adapting to the complexities of a listed environment may impact the effectiveness of our corporate governance framework, which could, in turn, affect investor confidence and regulatory compliance. 22. We operate in a highly competitive industry and our inability to compete effectively may adversely affect our business and results of operations. We face significant competition from companies that operate as a distribution network and consolidate demand and supply for segments within the travel industry. In the event our competitors expand their product offerings, Suppliers and Buyers may choose to use their platforms instead. Our customers may also choose not to list on external platforms and instead, rely on their own online platforms and change their sales and marketing models through technology and infrastructure investments. 41 | Pa geIn addition, if our competitors develop business models, products or services with similar or superior functionality to our solutions, it may adversely impact our business. Our competitors may also impede our ability to reach new Suppliers and Buyers or commence operations in certain jurisdictions. For example, our competitors may dominate the existing travel market in certain jurisdictions that can make it hard for us to compete in terms of brand recognition and reputation. Our competitors may have greater financial, marketing and other resources, greater geographical reach, broader product ranges or a stronger sales force. They may also offer deep discounts to capture greater market share, have extensive travel industry relationships, longer operating histories and greater prominence than our platform. As a result, such competitors may be able to respond more quickly with new technologies and undertake extensive marketing or promotional campaigns. If we are unable to compete with such companies effectively, the demand for our offerings could substantially decline. In addition, if one or more of our competitors were to merge or partner with another of our competitors, the strength of the combined companies could affect our competitive position. Our competitors may also establish or strengthen cooperative relationships with third-party data providers, technology partners, or other parties with whom we have relationships, thereby limiting our ability to develop, improve and promote our solutions. If we are unable to compete successfully against current or future competitors, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected. 23. Inability to maintain adequate internal controls may affect our ability to effectively manage our operations, resulting in errors or information lapses. We are responsible for implementing internal control measures appropriate to the size and complexity of our operations. While we take reasonable steps to ensure compliance with internal policies, applicable laws, and processes, we remain exposed to operational risks arising from the potential inadequacy or failure of such measures. As our business expands geographically and operational complexity grows, maintaining effective internal controls may become increasingly challenging. Although we have not experienced material instances of failure in internal controls, lapses in judgment, human error, or unforeseen risks could affect the accuracy of our operations and financial reporting. Such instances could result in operational disruptions, loss of trust, and reputational harm. Further, we may be subject to ‘Know Your Customer’ (KYC) requirements for the Buyers we deal with. While we have policies in place to ensure compliance, any failure in adhering to such requirements could adversely impact our business and operations. 24. We are subject to risks associated with expansion into new geographic regions, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Expanding into new geographic regions exposes us to various challenges, including unfamiliarity with local culture, economic conditions, laws, and regulations, as well as language barriers and difficulties in recruiting and managing personnel in these regions. Additionally, we may face challenges in establishing our brand recognition and reputation in new markets, which could limit our ability to attract buyers and achieve growth. The risks associated with entering new markets may be higher than anticipated, and we may face significant competition from established players in those regions. Further, expansion efforts require substantial investments, and there is a risk that these investments may not yield the expected returns. In extreme cases, we may lose part or all of our investment in such regions due to unforeseen factors, including regulatory hurdles, economic downturns, or operational challenges. While we have not experienced any material loss of investment or significant setbacks in our expansion efforts in the past three Fiscal years, we cannot assure you that similar outcomes will occur in the future. Any failure to effectively manage the risks associated with geographic expansion could adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition. 25. Acquisition of our subsidiary through a share transfer may be subject to regulatory scrutiny and operational risks. Our Company acquired a controlling stake in TSC Finserv Private Limited ("TSC Finserv"), a Reserve Bank of India ("RBI")-registered Non-Banking Financial Company ("NBFC"), through transfer of equity shares 42 | Pa gefrom existing shareholders. The acquisition was executed in compliance with the agreed terms, and our Company obtained the necessary No Objection Certificate ("NOC") from the RBI vide its letter dated June 10, 2021, for the change in control. The change in control was effectively implemented during Financial Year 2021-22, and our Company appointed a majority of directors to the board of TSC Finserv to exercise effective management control. As per the agreed terms, a portion of the consideration was paid upfront, while the remaining amount was made post the shares were transferred leading to a possible risk of non-compliance with Section 56 of the Companies Act, 2013. As per Section 56 of the Companies Act, 2013, any transfer of shares must be duly executed, stamped, and delivered along with the necessary share transfer form to the company within the prescribed timelines. Failure to comply with this provision may attract penalties which may extend up to ₹ 5,00,000 for the Company and ₹ 1,00,000 each for officers in default including directors and key managerial personnel. Given that the share transfer in our case was executed without receiving full payment at the time of transfer, there remains a risk that regulatory authorities may scrutinize the transaction for potential non-compliance with Section 56 or related provisions. Any adverse findings or regulatory action may result in penalties, additional procedural requirements, or reputational risks. While we believe that all necessary approvals and compliance measures have been undertaken, we cannot rule out the possibility of future scrutiny, regulatory intervention, or penalties arising from the share transfer transaction. Any such development could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 25. Delays in receiving payments or making timely payments may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our business operates in a capital-intensive industry where timely payment cycles are critical to maintaining smooth operations. Delays in receiving payments from our Buyers, clients, or other stakeholders can strain our working capital, disrupt cash flows, and limit our ability to meet our financial obligations on time. Such delays could arise due to factors such as disputes over invoices, financial difficulties faced by counterparties, or inefficiencies in payment processing. Additionally, our operations require us to make timely payments to Suppliers, service providers, and regulatory authorities. Delays in making these payments, whether due to operational challenges, cash flow constraints, or other unforeseen circumstances, may result in penalties, late fees, or other financial charges. In some cases, delays in payments to Suppliers or service providers could result in the suspension of services, termination of agreements, or damage to our business relationships, which could adversely impact our ability to operate effectively. Given the capital-intensive nature of our business, delays in receiving or making payments could also affect our ability to invest in growth opportunities, manage day-to-day operations, or service our existing financial obligations. Furthermore, prolonged payment delays may negatively impact our creditworthiness and reputation in the market, making it more challenging to secure favorable terms for future financial arrangements or collaborations. While we have implemented measures to monitor and manage our cash flows and payment cycles, and there have been no material instances of significant delays in payments in the past, there can be no assurance that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks associated with payment delays in the future. Any significant disruption in our payment cycles could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects. 26. An inability to maintain adequate insurance coverage may adversely affect our operations, financial condition, and profitability. We have obtained insurance policies to cover risks associated with our business, including commercial liability, credit risk, property damage, and keyman insurance for senior management. As of March 31, 2025, our total insurance coverage stood at ₹2,326.18 lakhs, representing 1.03 times our net assets, of which ₹990.83 lakhs pertains to keyman insurance policies. Excluding keyman insurance, our coverage amounts to ₹1,335.35 lakhs, or 0.59 times our net assets. For further information, please refer to section titled ‘Business Overview’ on page 115. There is no assurance that any claim under these policies will be honored fully, on time, or at all. Our 43 | Pa geinsurance policies are subject to limitations, including exclusions, deductibles, and coverage caps, which may result in partial or no compensation in certain circumstances. Further, our insurance coverage requires periodic renewals, and we cannot guarantee that such renewals will be granted in a timely manner, at acceptable costs, or on commercially favorable terms. Although we have not experienced any material instances of insurance claims in the past, this does not guarantee that we will remain free from significant losses or liabilities in the future. In the event of a significant loss, damage, or liability not covered by insurance or exceeding the insured limits, we would be required to bear the costs, which could adversely impact our cash flows, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, certain risks may be uninsurable or not insurable on commercially viable terms. Any failure to comply with insurance-related regulatory requirements in the regions where we operate may also affect our brand, reputation, and business. Given the above, our ability to maintain adequate and effective insurance coverage remains critical, and any lapse, inadequacy, or unforeseen claim could materially and adversely affect our business operations and financial stability. 27. Potential Conflict of Interest Due to a Promoter Group Entity Engaged in a Similar Business One of our promoter group entities, M/s. DEX Air Private Limited, is engaged in a similar line of business. While our Company primarily operates in the B2B segment, DEX Air Private Limited focuses exclusively on the B2C segment, catering directly to individual consumers. Additionally, DEX Air Private Limited operates on a very small scale, with minimal employees and limited business activities, which are not comparable to the scale and operations of our Company. We have not entered into any formal agreement to prevent conflicts of interest with DEX Air Private Limited. Although we believe that the distinct market focus and limited scale of DEX Air Private Limited do not pose a competitive risk, there can be no assurance that future business activities of the promoter group entity will not result in a potential conflict of interest. If any such conflict arises in the future, it may adversely impact our business, financial condition, and operational efficiency. We remain committed to ensuring transparency and sound corporate governance practices to mitigate any risks associated with promoter group entities engaged in similar businesses. 27. We are exposed to proceedings or claims arising from travel-related accidents or customer misconduct during travels, the occurrence of which may be beyond our control. Travel-related accidents are an inherent risk in the tourism industry and can result in serious injuries, fatalities, or other adverse outcomes. As we enter into contracts with customers directly, we are exposed to the risk of claims or legal proceedings arising from such incidents during their travels. Customers may hold us responsible for damages they suffer, even in cases where such incidents are beyond our control. Additionally, customer misconduct during travels, such as inappropriate behavior, violation of local laws, or failure to adhere to safety instructions, may also expose us to reputational or legal risks. Such misconduct, though outside our control, could strain relationships with travel partners, local authorities, and other stakeholders, potentially leading to legal claims or operational disruptions. We do not maintain any insurance coverage to mitigate liabilities arising from travel-related accidents or customer misconduct. As a result, any claims or proceedings brought against us would have to be borne by the Company, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Although there have been no material instances of claims or legal proceedings related to travel-related accidents or customer misconduct in the past, except for Consumer Complaint No. 337/2022, Adarsh Preet V/s Air India (refer section titled ‘Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments’ on page 182), we cannot rule out the possibility of such incidents occurring in the future. Even if we are not at fault, such events could harm our brand image, create negative public perception regarding our reliability and safety standards, and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 28. Restriction on our Merchant Banker/ Book Running Lead Manager from undertaking new assignments may create a perception risk and could impact investor confidence. Book Running Lead Manager associated with this Issue, is subject to an order issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”) dated April 25, 2025, under sub-section (3) of Section 12 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 read with Regulation 27 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Intermediaries) Regulations, 2008. Pursuant to the said order, the Merchant Banker has been 44 | Pa geprohibited from undertaking new assignments, i.e., onboarding new clients, for a period of six months from the date of the order. The Merchant Banker is in full compliance with the SEBI order and continues to be permitted to execute and complete existing mandates, including this Issue. The Company has been informed that the Merchant Banker remains eligible and is fully authorized to act and continue as a Book Running Lead Manager for this Issue. While the restriction does not pertain to the Company, its management, or this Issue, there can be no assurance that such regulatory action against the Merchant Banker may not influence investor perception or market sentiment. Any adverse interpretation or media attention in this regard could potentially impact investor confidence in connection with this Issue. Investors are advised to carefully consider this regulatory development while evaluating their investment decisions. 29. Demand for travel, and consequently, traffic on our platform, is subject to seasonal fluctuations. The demand for travel is inherently cyclical and fluctuates across different quarters, months, geographies, and travel segments, which directly impacts the traffic and transaction volumes on our platform. For instance, leisure travelers often plan vacations during school holidays, summer breaks, or around major festivals, while corporate travel typically surges at the beginning and end of financial quarters. Similarly, demand for international travel often peaks during holiday seasons in popular tourist destinations. These seasonal variations can lead to uneven revenue generation throughout the year. Any factor that adversely impacts demand during peak travel seasons—such as unfavorable economic conditions, geopolitical instability, natural disasters, travel restrictions, platform outages, or technical malfunctions— could disproportionately affect our business performance. If we are unable to meet heightened demand during these periods due to operational challenges, it may result in lost opportunities, dissatisfied customers, and reduced service fees, commissions, incentives, or performance-linked bonuses that we receive. Furthermore, during periods of weak demand, the negative impact on our revenue may be exacerbated by industry-wide price reductions and discounts introduced to stimulate travel bookings. Since a significant portion of our costs, such as technology infrastructure, employee expenses, and platform maintenance, are fixed in nature, any decline in traffic or bookings during low-demand periods may adversely impact our profitability. While we have historically managed seasonal fluctuations effectively, we cannot assure that similar success will continue in the future. Any sustained disruption during peak seasons or an inability to capitalize on seasonal demand trends could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 30. 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. Whilst we have not paid dividends in the last three Fiscal years, our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on a number of factors identified in the dividend policy of our Company, liquidity position, profits, capital requirements, financial commitments and financial requirements including business expansion plans, cost of borrowings, other corporate actions and other relevant or material factors considered relevant by our Board, and external factors, such as the state of the economy and capital markets, applicable taxes including dividend distribution tax, regulatory changes and other relevant or material factors considered relevant by our Board. The declaration and payment of dividends will be recommended by the Board of Directors and approved by the Shareholders, at their discretion, subject to the provisions of the Articles of Association and applicable law, including the Companies Act. We may retain all future earnings, if any, for use in the operations and expansion of the business. As a result, we may not declare dividends in the foreseeable future. We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay dividends in the future. Accordingly, realization of a gain on Shareholders’ investments will depend on the appreciation of the price of the Equity Shares. There is no guarantee that our Equity Shares will appreciate in value. 31. There is no monitoring agency appointed by our Company and the deployments of funds are at the discretion of our Management and our Board of Directors, though it shall be monitored by the Audit Committee. 45 | Pa geAs per SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, 2018 appointment of monitoring agency is required only for Issue size above Rs. 5,000 Lakh. Hence, we have not appointed a monitoring agency to monitor the utilization of Issue proceeds. However, the Audit Committee of our Board will monitor the utilization of Issue proceeds. Further, our Company shall inform about material deviations in the utilization of Issue proceeds to the stock exchange and shall also simultaneously make the material deviations / adverse comments of the audit committee public. 32. Any infringement of third-party intellectual property rights or failure to protect our intellectual property rights may adversely affect our business. Our Company relies on intellectual property, including our registered logo, trademark, and website domain, to establish and maintain our brand identity and competitive position in the travel management industry. While we take reasonable efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, we cannot assure that third parties will not infringe upon or misuse our registered assets, which could dilute our brand value and impact our reputation. Any failure to enforce or defend our intellectual property rights effectively may adversely affect our business operations and financial condition. Additionally, while we strive to ensure that our platform, technology, and service offerings do not infringe upon any third-party intellectual property rights, we cannot rule out the possibility of inadvertent infringement. If any third-party claims that we have violated their intellectual property rights, we may be subject to costly and time-consuming legal proceedings. If such claims are upheld, we may be required to pay damages, alter or cease certain aspects of our operations, or seek licenses, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms. Failure to protect our intellectual property or defend against third-party claims could harm our business, reputation, and financial performance. While we have not faced any material claims of intellectual property infringement to date, we cannot assure that such instances will not arise in the future. Any such occurrence could disrupt our operations, increase costs, and adversely affect our results of operations and growth prospects. 33. Certain Agreements, deeds or licenses, statutory approvals and certificates may be in the previous name of the company, we have to update the name of our company in all the statutory approvals and certificates due to the conversion of our Company. Our Company was originally incorporated as ‘TSC Travel Services Private Limited’ on July 18, 2003 vide Registration no. 026209 (CIN: U63040PB2003PLC026209) under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 with the Registrar of Companies, Punjab, H.P. & Chandigarh. Further, our Company was converted into a public limited company pursuant to shareholders resolution passed at the extra-ordinary general meeting of our Company held on June 06, 2024 and the name of our Company was changed to “TSC Travel Services Limited’” and a Fresh Certificate of Incorporation dated August 01, 2024 bearing CIN U63040PB2003PLC026209 issued by the Registrar of Companies, Central Processing Centre. Subsequently, the name of our Company was changed to “TSC India Limited” pursuant to the special resolution passed by the Shareholders of our Company at the Extra-Ordinary General Meeting held on August 12, 2024 and Central Processing Centre issued a fresh certificate of incorporation dated September 02, 2024 upon change of the name of the Company. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to update all of these documents in a timely manner, in case of failure to update these documents could result in legal and financial complications, which may subject us to increased compliance costs, which may in turn result in an adverse effect on our financial condition. For more details, refer section titled ‘Government and Other Approvals’ on page 189. 34. There are certain outstanding legal proceedings pending against our Company and Directors. Any adverse outcome in any of these proceedings may adversely affect our profitability and reputation and may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Our Company and Directors are currently involved in certain tax proceedings in India which are pending at different levels of adjudication before the concerned authority/ forum. We cannot assure you that these tax proceedings will be decided in favour of our Company and Directors, as the case may be. Any adverse decision in such proceedings may render us liable to penalties and may have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. 46 | Pa geAdditionally, during the course of our business we are subject to risk of litigation in relation to contractual obligations, employment and labour law related, personal injury and property damage, etc. A classification of these outstanding litigations is given in the following table: Particulars Number of cases Total amount involved (in lakhs ₹) Our Company Direct Tax 8 169.18 Indirect Tax 1 7.39 Our Subsidiaries Direct Tax 2 37.87 Indirect Tax Nil Nil Our Promoters Direct Tax Nil Nil Indirect Tax Nil Nil Our Directors (other than Promoters) Direct Tax Nil Nil Indirect Tax Nil Nil Total 11 214.44 For further details, in relation to the legal proceedings involving our Company, our Directors, and our Promoters, please refer to the section titled “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” beginning on page 182 of this Red Herring Prospectus. 35. Our Promoters, together with our Promoter Group, will continue to retain majority shareholding in our Company after the Issue, which will allow them to exercise significant control over us. We cannot assure you that our Promoters and Promoter Group will always act in the best interests of the Company or you. The majority of our issued and outstanding Equity Shares are currently beneficially owned by our Promoters and the members of our Promoter Group. For details of our post-issue shareholding, refer to section titled ‘Capital Structure’ on page 66. Accordingly, our Promoters and members of our Promoter Group will continue to exercise significant influence over our business policies and affairs and all matters requiring shareholders’ approval, including the composition of the Board of Directors, the adoption of amendments to our constitutional documents, policies for dividends, lending, investments and capital expenditures. The interests of our Promoters and Promoter Group as the Company’s controlling shareholders could conflict with the Company’s interests or the interests of its other shareholders. There can be no assurance that our Promoters and Directors will exercise their rights as shareholders to the benefit and best interest of our Company. 36. We are subject to various laws and regulations and are required to comply with multiple regulatory requirements in jurisdictions where we operate, which may increase compliance costs and adversely affect our financial condition. Our operations are subject to various national, state, and local laws and regulations, particularly those governing the travel management industry and general business operations in India. These include regulations related to consumer protection, data privacy, e-commerce, taxation, and cybersecurity, as well as laws governing business practices, contractual obligations, and commercial transactions. Non-compliance with any of these laws and regulations may result in penalties, fines, regulatory scrutiny, or legal proceedings, which could harm our reputation and business operations. Additionally, as laws and regulations evolve, we may incur increased compliance costs to adapt to new legal and regulatory requirements. For instance, changes in data protection or taxation laws could require us to implement costly modifications to our systems and processes. While we take reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, we cannot assure that we will not face any regulatory challenges or liabilities in the future. Any failure to comply with these requirements may result in fines, legal action, or disruptions to our operations, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. For more details, please refer to the chapter titled “Key Industry Regulations and Policies” on page 133 of this Red Herring Prospectus. 47 | Pa ge37. Any variation in the utilization of the Net Proceeds would be subject to certain compliance requirements, including prior shareholders’ approval. We propose to utilize the Net Proceeds towards the objects of the Company as mentioned in chapter titled “Objects of the Issue” beginning on page 77. At this stage, we cannot determine with any certainty if we would require the Net Proceeds to meet any other expenditure or fund any exigencies arising out of competitive environment, business conditions, economic conditions or other factors beyond our control. In accordance with Sections 13(8) and 27 of the Companies Act, 2013, we cannot undertake any variation in the utilization of the Net Proceeds without obtaining the shareholders’ approval through a special resolution. In the event of any such circumstances that require us to undertake variation in the disclosed utilization of the Net Proceeds, we may not be able to obtain the shareholders’ approval in a timely manner, or at all. Any delay or inability in obtaining such shareholders’ approval may adversely affect our business or operations. Further, our Promoters would be liable to provide an exit opportunity to shareholders who do not agree with our proposal to change the objects of the Issue or vary the terms of such contracts, at a price and manner as prescribed by SEBI. Additionally, the requirement of our Promoters to provide an exit opportunity to such dissenting shareholders may deter the Promoters from agreeing to the variation of the proposed utilization of the Net Proceeds, even if such variation is in the interest of our Company. Further, we cannot assure you that the Promoters or the controlling shareholders of our Company will have adequate resources at their disposal at all times to enable them to provide an exit opportunity at the price prescribed by SEBI. 38.

We have in the past entered into related party transactions and may continue to do so in the future, which may potentially have an adverse effect on our business. In the ordinary course of our business, our Company has in the past entered into related party transactions, including Remuneration paid to Directors and KMPs, and may continue to do so in the future. For details regarding our related party transactions, see “Summary of the Issue Document” on page no 25. While we believe that all such related party transactions that we have entered into are legitimate business transactions conducted on an arms’ length basis, we cannot assure you that we could not have achieved more favorable terms had such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties. 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, there can be no assurance that these arrangements in the future, or any future related party transactions that we may enter into, individually or in the aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. Further, any future transactions with our related parties could potentially involve conflicts of interest which may be detrimental to our Company. There can be no assurance that we will be able to address such conflicts of interests or others in the future. We confirm that all related party transactions entered into by the Company have been conducted in compliance with the Companies Act and other applicable laws. Each transaction was reviewed and approved as per the necessary regulatory requirements, ensuring that they were conducted on an arm's length basis and in the ordinary course of business. The Company has taken all measures to maintain transparency, fairness, and adherence to legal and regulatory standards in these transactions. 40. Certain sections of this Red Herring Prospectus contain information from the D&B Report which has 48 | Pa gebeen prepared exclusively for the Offer and exclusively commissioned and paid for by us. There can be no assurance that such report is complete, and any reliance on such information for making an investment decision in the Offer is subject to inherent risks. Pursuant to being engaged by us, D&B prepared a report titled “Industry Report on Air Ticking Solutions” dated August 30, 2024. A copy of the D&B Report is available on the website of our Company at https://www.tscindialimited.com.. Certain sections of this Red Herring Prospectus include information based on, or derived from, the D&B Report or extracts of the D&B Report. We commissioned and paid D&B for this report for the purpose of confirming our understanding of the industry in connection with the Offer. We commissioned D&B as no report is publicly available which provides a comprehensive industry analysis, particularly for our Company’s services, that may be similar to the D&B Report that we commissioned. All such information in this Red Herring Prospectus indicates the D&B Report as its source. Accordingly, any information in this Red Herring Prospectus derived from, or based on, the D&B Report should be read taking into consideration the foregoing. Industry sources and publications are also prepared based on information as at 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. Industry sources do not guarantee the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the data, and 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 industry sources.

Accordingly, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on, or base their investment decision solely on this information. Investors should consult their own advisors and undertake an independent assessment of information in this Red Herring Prospectus in connection with the Issue before making any investment decision regarding the issue. See “Industry Overview” on page 95. Issue Related Risk 41. There are certain restrictions on daily movements in the price of Equity Shares, which may adversely affect a shareholder’s ability to sell, or the price at which it can sell, Equity Shares at a particular point in time. Following the Issue, we will be subject to a daily circuit breaker imposed by NSE, which does not allow transactions beyond specified increases or decreases in the price of the Equity Shares. This circuit breaker operates independently of the index-based, market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by SEBI on Indian stock exchanges. The percentage limit on our circuit breakers will be set by the stock exchange based on the historical volatility in the price and trading volume of the Equity Shares. This circuit breaker will limit the upward and downward movements in the price of the Equity Shares. As a result of this circuit breaker, no assurance can be given regarding your ability to sell your Equity Shares or the price at which you may be able to sell your Equity Shares at any particular time. 42. After this Issue, the price of the Equity Shares may be highly volatile, or an active trading market for the Equity Shares may not develop. The price of the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges may fluctuate as a result of the factors, including: • Volatility in the Indian and global capital market; • Company’s results of operations and financial performance; • Performance of Company’s competitors, • Adverse media reports on Company or pertaining to our Industry; • Changes in our estimates of performance or recommendations by financial analysts; and • Significant developments in India’s economic and fiscal policies; Current valuations may not be sustainable in the future and may also not be reflective of future valuations for our industry and our Company. There has been no public market for Equity Shares and the prices of the Equity Shares may fluctuate after this Issue. 49 | Pa geThere can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Equity Shares will develop or be sustained after this Issue or that the price at which the Equity Shares are initially traded will correspond to the price at which the Equity Shares will trade in the market subsequent to this Issue. 43. Market price of our share will be decide by market forces and issue price of equity share may not be indicative of the market price our share price after the issue. After listing and trading permission of equity shares, the price of the shares shall be driven by free market forces. The market price of a company's share is determined by the forces of supply and demand in the stock market. These forces are influenced by a variety of factors, including the company's financial performance, industry trends, economic conditions, and investor sentiment. When a company issues equity shares, it sets an issue price based on various factors such as the company's valuation, the prevailing market conditions, and the demand for its shares. However, the issue price is not necessarily indicative of the market price of the shares after the issue. Once the shares are listed on the stock exchange, their price is determined by the forces of supply and demand in the market. If there is strong demand for the shares, the price may rise above the issue price, and if there is weak demand, the price may fall below the issue price. Therefore, while the issue price of equity shares provides a starting point for the company's valuation, it is not necessarily a reliable indicator of the market price of the shares after the issue. Investors should carefully evaluate all relevant factors and information before making investment decisions in the stock market. External Factors 44. Outbreaks of contagious diseases, such as the recent outbreak of COVID-19, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and prospects. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the global travel and tourism industry, including our business operations. The pandemic led to widespread travel restrictions, lockdowns, and border closures, which resulted in a sharp decline in travel demand, cancellations of bookings, and disruptions to air ticketing and other travel-related services. Additionally, businesses and individuals reduced discretionary spending, further impacting our revenue streams. During the COVID-19 outbreak, we experienced challenges in maintaining operations, managing customer refunds, and ensuring platform stability amidst fluctuating demand. The pandemic also increased operational complexities, including remote working arrangements and disruptions in communication with buyers and service providers. While the situation has improved, there can be no assurance that future outbreaks of contagious diseases, such as COVID-19 or other pandemics, will not occur. Any similar health crisis could lead to renewed travel restrictions, reduced demand for travel, operational disruptions, and financial strain on our business. Such events may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and growth prospects. 45. Changes in the Government Policy could adversely affect economic conditions in India generally and our business in particular. Our business, and the market price and liquidity of our Equity Shares, may be affected by interest rates, changes in Government policy, taxation, social and civil unrest and other political, economic or other developments in or affecting India. Elimination or substantial change of policies or the introduction of policies that negatively affect the Company’s business could cause its results of operations to suffer. Any significant change in India’s economic policies could disrupt business and economic conditions in India generally and the Company’s business in particular. 46. A slowdown in economic growth in India could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We are dependent on domestic, regional and global economic and market conditions. Our performance, growth and market price of our Equity Shares are and will be dependent to a large extent on the health of the economy in which we operate. Demand for our products may be adversely affected by an economic downturn in domestic, regional and global economies. 50 | Pa geEconomic growth in the country in which we operate is affected by various factors including domestic consumption and savings, balance of trade movements, namely export demand and movements in key imports of materials, global economic uncertainty and liquidity crisis, volatility in exchange currency rates, and annual rainfall which affects agricultural production. Consequently, any future slowdown in the Indian economy could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. 47. Inflation in India could have an adverse effect on our profitability and if significant, on our financial condition. Inflation is typically impacted by factors such as governmental policies, regulations, commodity prices, liquidity and global economic environment. Any change in the government or a change in the economic and deregulation policies could adversely affect the inflation rates. Continued high rates of inflation may increase our costs such as salaries, travel costs and related allowances, which are typically linked to general price levels. There can be no assurance that we will be able to pass on any additional costs to our clients or that our revenue will increase proportionately corresponding to such inflation. Accordingly, high rates of inflation in India could have an adverse effect on our profitability and, if significant, on our financial condition. 48. Taxes and other levies imposed by the Government of India or other State Governments, as well as other financial policies and regulations, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Taxes and other levies imposed by the Central or State Governments in India that affect our industry include STT, GST, income tax and other taxes, duties or surcharges introduced on a permanent or temporary basis from time to time. Imposition of any other taxes by the Central and the State Governments may adversely affect our results of operations. 49. You may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on sale of Equity Shares. Under current Indian tax laws and regulations, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares in an Indian company are generally taxable in India. You have either short-term or long-term capital gains depending on the holding period of your investment. Capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares within 12 months in an Indian company are classified as short-term capital gains and generally taxable. Any gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares on a stock exchange that are held for more than 12 months is considered as long-term capital gains and is taxable at 12.50%, in excess of Rs. 1,25,000, without the benefit of the indexation. Any change in tax provisions may significantly impact your return on investments. 50. Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy and cause our Company’s business to suffer. India has experienced natural calamities such as earthquakes, tsunami, floods etc. in recent years. The extent and severity of these natural disasters determine their impact on the Indian economy. Prolonged spells of abnormal rainfall or other natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy, which could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations as well as the price of the Equity Shares. 51. Terrorist attacks, civil unrests and other acts of violence or war involving India or other countries could adversely affect the financial markets, our business, financial condition and the price of our Equity Shares. Any major hostilities involving India or other acts of violence, including civil unrest or similar events that are beyond our control, could have a material adverse effect on India’s economy and our business. Incidents such as the terrorist attacks, other incidents such as those in US, Indonesia, Madrid and London, and other acts of violence may adversely affect the Indian stock markets where our Equity Shares will trade the global equity markets as well generally. Such acts could negatively impact business sentiment as well as trade between countries, which could adversely affect our Company’s business and profitability. Additionally, such events could have a material adverse effect on the market for securities of Indian companies, including the Equity Shares. 51 | Pa geSECTION IV - INTRODUCTION THE ISSUE The following table summarizes the Issue details: Present Issue in Terms of this Red Herring Prospectus Public Issue of Equity Shares by our Upto 36,98,000 Equity Shares of face value of ₹ 10/- each for Company(1)(2) cash at a price of ₹ [●] per share aggregating to ₹ [●] Lakhs out of which Market Maker Reservation Portion Upto 1,86,000* Equity Shares of face value of ₹ 10/- each for cash at a price of ₹ [●] per share aggregating to ₹ [●] Lakhs Net Issue to Public Upto 35,12,000* Equity Shares of face value of ₹ 10/- each for cash at a price of ₹ [●] per share aggregating to ₹ [●] Lakhs of which A.

The data presented highlights our Company’s growth over the last three financial years, with increase in GTV, revenue and working capital requirements. This growth in GTV has created a corresponding need for higher levels of net working capital, driven by increase in total monetary value of tickets sold. As our Company expands, it will start selling more and more tickets and effective liquidity management will become increasingly vital. The total operating cycle of our Company ranges between 4 to 6 days of the GTV. This is due to the fact that company provides a credit period of 10 to 15 days to its customers (travel agents) and only gets a credit of 5 to 11 days from its suppliers (airlines). The Company has to pay for the number of tickets purchased in each cycle on time to maintain its agency privileges with the International Air Transport Association (IATA). This creates a constant need for working capital in the Company to generate incremental revenue. Further we need to maintain sufficient deposit balance with the bank in order to provide bank guarantee to IATA for the amount of business managed in a cycle. Therefore, the amount of deposits will also increase once the Company generates incremental revenue and decides to sell more tickets in each cycle.

The net working capital of the Company increased only by 29%. Major contributors for the increase in net working capital are: • Net receivables (Trade receivables less Trade payables) increased by approximately 165% in FY 2024 as compared to FY 2023. The Company makes payments through the Billing and Settlement Plans (BSP) generated by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which provides a consolidated summary of payments and receipts from each airline for each payment cycle. IATA informs the Company of the billing cycles and remittance dates annually, and the Company, in turn, communicates the payment timelines to its customers (travel agents) to ensure timely collections. This process enables the Company to maintain a short operating cycle of approximately 2 to 5 days of gross transaction value. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had one pending remittance cycle, whereas as of March 31, 2024, there were two pending remittance cycles, which was reflected in the corresponding trade receivable and payable holding periods. • FDR with banks (with Interest receivable) decreased by approximately 24% in FY 2024 as compared to FY 2023. The decrease is due to the fact the Company operated from the internal accruals generated during previous financial years and existing loan facilities. The Company also closed excess credit limits which allowed the Company to utilise the amounts deposited under lien earlier. The Company also relied on unsecured loans from related parties to fund the additional working capital requirements as compared to CC/OD facilities from bank. The above factors resulted in slightly lower increase in net working capital in FY 2024 as compared to FY 2023.

The net working capital of the Company increased only by 57%. Major contributors for the increase in net working capital are: • Net receivables (Trade receivables less Trade payables) increased by approximately 114% in FY 2025 as compared to FY 2024. • The incentive receivable increased by approximately 121% in FY 2025 as compared to FY 2024 indicating better ticketing volumes in FY 2025. • Our Company recorded the gratuity and leave encashment provisions in FY 2025. Out of the total provision, ₹ 49.30 lakhs pertain to prior period which is duly restated in the restated consolidated financial statements. • FDR with banks (with Interest receivable) decreased by approximately 19% in FY 2025 as compared to FY 2024. The decrease is due to the fact the Company operated from the internal accruals generated during previous financial years and existing loan facilities. The above factors resulted in slightly higher increase in net working capital in FY 2025 as compared to FY 2024. The key assumptions for our working capital projections are set forth below: 81 | Pa geOur business is working capital-intensive in nature, that is, we require large amounts of funds in the normal course of business to continue providing the services. Therefore, we require a significant amount of working capital to sustain our operations and drive growth. The working capital requirements are primarily determined by the Gross Transaction Value (GTV) generated during the fiscal period. GTV represents the total monetary value of transactions facilitated through our platform, which includes the full amount charged to customers for services such as travel bookings, accommodation, and other offerings. Revenue Recognition in Books of Accounts In accordance with the applicable Accounting Standards and industry practices, we recognize only the net revenue as "Revenue from Operations" in our books of accounts. Net revenue primarily comprises: - Commission income earned for facilitating bookings or services on behalf of suppliers. - Performance-linked bonuses received from airlines based on volume or performance metrics. - Service charges levied on customers for specific value-added services. - Cashback income generated from payments made with credit card. - Other operating revenues derived from our intermediary role such as GDS segment fees and deposit incentives. This approach aligns with the principle of recognizing revenue based on the actual earnings of the business, rather than the total transaction value, and ensures compliance with accounting norms such as AS 9 (Revenue Recognition). The standards require revenue to be recorded based on whether the business acts as a principal (owning and controlling the service) or an agent (facilitating services on behalf of a principal). Since we act as an agent, we record revenue on a net basis to reflect the true nature of our earnings. Recording net revenue also helps to: - Avoid overstatement of revenues, which could misrepresent the financial position of the business. - Minimize complications related to statutory liabilities, such as Goods and Services Tax (GST) or other taxes, which are often calculated based on net earnings. Treatment of Trade Receivables and Payables While revenue is recorded on a net basis, trade receivables and trade payables are recorded on a gross basis in our books of accounts. This is because: 1. Trade Receivables: Represent the total amount due from customers, including the full value of transactions facilitated through our platform. 2. Trade Payables: Represent the total amount owed to suppliers for the services provided, which corresponds to the gross transaction value less our commission or fees. Recording these balances on a gross basis ensures accurate tracking of the actual cash flows and liabilities associated with the transactions. It reflects the true working capital requirements of the business, which are driven by the GTV rather than the net revenue. This approach is critical for managing the financial health of our company and planning for liquidity and funding needs. Particulars Assumptions Trade Receivable Trade receivables include commission receivables from the airlines and amount receivable for tickets sold through the travel partners associated with our business. Based on the industry trends and our past experience, the holding period is between 10 to 15 days of the Gross Transaction Value. Trade Payable Trade payables include payable to airlines for the tickets purchased and commission payable to the travel partners associated with our business. Based on the industry trends and our past experience, the holding period is between 5 to 11 days of the commission expenses. Apart from above there are other working capital requirements such as Cash and Cash Equivalents, Other Current assets, loans and advances, short term provisions and other current liabilities. Details of which are given below. Particulars Assumptions Cash and Cash Cash and cash equivalents include balances in current accounts and cash in hand. Cash Equivalents and Cash Equivalent balance is estimated based on previous years outstanding amount and for expected business requirement of company. Incentive Incentive receivables are amount which are yet to be received from airlines on account of receivables performance linked bonus (PLB). Deposits Deposits with maturity more than 12 months (including accrued interest) are deposits (including under lien for bank guarantees issued to International Air Transport Authorities (IATA). accrued interest) The Company has provided bank guarantees amounting to INR 2,500.00 Lakhs to the 82 | Pa geParticulars Assumptions International Air Transport Association (IATA) as on March 31, 2025. This amount is essential for doing the ticketing business and purchasing tickets from airline companies. IATA is a facilitator between the airlines and the travel agents. The main function of IATA is to regulate the transactions between airlines and travel agents through the Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP) reports. The bank guarantees are provided to IATA based on the amount of transactions handled by the Company during a billing cycle (typically fortnightly). For the year ended March 31, 2025 the Company transacted a total of 1,62,975 tickets amounting to INR 80,587.84 Lakhs. Therefore, it can be assumed that the Company transacts approximately 6,268 tickets per fortnight (1,62,975 tickets / 26 fortnights) with a total transaction value of INR 3,099.53 Lakhs per fortnight (INR 80,587.84 Lakhs / 26 fortnights). It should be noted that the credit card sales are not included in the IATA limit and therefore our Company has provided bank guarantees of INR 2,500.00 Lakhs only as per our past experience. The remittance for tickets issued through credit card are directly made to the airline companies by the credit card companies. Since the remittance day for each billing cycle is fixed in advance by IATA, the Company is obligated to make the payment on the remittance day only. To secure such payment and safeguard its interests in case of defaults, IATA requires the travel agents to submit bank guarantees amounting to the maximum business in one billing cycle. Therefore, with the limit of INR 2,500.00 Lakhs the Company can transact tickets worth INR 2,500.00 Lakhs in one billing cycle. As the Company progresses and its total transaction value increases, the Company will be required to obtain further limits from IATA which will be secured through bank guarantees. The bank guarantees are obtained from the bank by keeping fixed deposit balances under lien with the bank. Short-term loans Short-term loans and advances includes balance with government authorities, advance to and advances employees, other loans and advances and prepaid expenses. Other Assets Other Assets mainly includes other assets not included elsewhere. Other current Other Current Liabilities mainly include Statutory dues payable, payable to employees liabilities and other payables. Other current liabilities are estimated based on the tax liabilities and employee benefits cost of the relevant financial years. Provisions Provisions mainly include Provision for income tax, Provision for leave encashment and provision for gratuity. b) General Corporate Purposes In terms of Regulation 230(2) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the extent of the Issue Proceeds proposed to be used for general corporate purposes must not exceed 15% of the Gross Proceeds of the Issue or ₹1,000 lakhs whichever is lower.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK The global economy, which grew by 3.3% in 2023, is expected to record a sluggish growth of 3.2% in 2024 before rising modestly to 3.3% in 2025. Between 2021 – 2022, global banks were carrying a historically high debt burden after COVID-19. Central banks took tight monetary measures to control inflation and spike in commodity prices. Russia's war with Ukraine further affected the global supply chains and inflated the prices of energy and other food items. These factors coupled with war-related economic sanctions impacted the economic activities in Europe. Any further escalation in the war may further affect the rebound of the economy in Europe. Global headline inflation is set to fall from an estimated 6.8% in CY 2023 to 5.8% in CY 2024 and to 4.4% in CY 2025. This fall is swifter than anticipated across various areas, amid the resolution of supply-related problems and tight monetary policies. Reduced inflation mirrors the diminishing impact of price shocks, particularly in energy, and their subsequent influence on core inflation. This decrease also stems from a relaxation in labour market pressure, characterized by fewer job openings, a slight uptick in unemployment, and increased labour availability, occasionally due to a significant influx of immigrants. Global GDP Growth Scenario The global economy started to rise from its lowest levels after countries started to lift the lockdown in 2020 and 2021. The pandemic lockdown was a key factor as it affected economic activities resulting in a recession in the year CY 2020, as the GDP growth touched -3.3%. In CY 2021 disruption in the supply chain affected most of the advanced economies as well as low-income developing economies. The rapid spread of Delta and the threat of new variants in mid of CY 2021 further increased uncertainty in the global economic environment. Global economic activities experienced a sharper-than-expected slowdown in CY 2022. One of the highest inflations in decades, seen in 2022, forced most of the central banks to tighten their fiscal policies. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine affected the global food supply resulting in a further increment in the cost of living. Further, despite initial resilience earlier in 2023, marked by a rebound in reopening and progress in curbing inflation from the previous year's highs, the situation remained precarious. Economic activity lagged behind its pre-pandemic trajectory, particularly in emerging markets and developing economies, leading to widening disparities among regions. Numerous factors are impeding the recovery, including the lasting impacts of the pandemic and geopolitical tensions, as well as cyclically-driven factors such as tightening monetary policies to combat inflation, the reduction of fiscal support amidst high debt levels, and the occurrence of extreme weather events. As a result, global growth declined from 3.5% in CY 2022 to 3.3% in CY 2023. 95 | Pa geSource – IMF Global GDP Forecast Release July 2024 Note: Advanced Economies and Emerging & Developing Economies are as per the classification of the World Economic Outlook (WEO). This classification is not based on strict criteria, economic or otherwise, and it has evolved over time. It comprises of 40 countries under the Advanced Economies including the G7 (the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Canada) and selected countries from the Euro Zone (Germany, Italy, France etc.). The group of emerging market and developing economies (156) includes all those that are not classified as Advanced Economies (India, China, Brazil, Malaysia etc.) In the current scenario, global GDP growth is estimated to have recorded a moderate growth of 3.3% in CY 2023 as compared to 3.5% growth in CY 2022. While high inflation and rising borrowing costs are affecting private consumption, on the other hand, fiscal consolidation is affecting government consumption. Slowed growth in developed economies will affect the GDP growth in CY 2024 and global GDP is expected to record a flat growth of 3.2% in CY 2024. The crisis in the housing sector, bank lending, and industrial sectors are affecting the growth of global GDP. Inflation forced central banks to adopt tight monetary policies. After touching the peak in 2022, inflationary pressures slowly eased out in 2023. This environment weighs in for interest rate cuts by many monetary authorities. Source – IMF Global GDP Forecast Release 2024, D&B Estimates At the midpoint of the year, so far in 2024 we have seen divergence in outcomes and prospects around the world in terms of economic growth, inflation, and policy responses. On balance, global short-term economic prospects have improved over the course of the year. We expect this momentum to continue through the second half of 2024 96 | Pa ge 8 6 4 2 0 -2 -4 -6 .0 .0 .0 .0 .0 .0 .0 .0 % % % % % % % % 2 .9 % -3 .3 G % 6 .1 % lo b C a Y 3 .5 % l E c o 2 0 1 3 n 9 .3 % o m 3 .33 .2 % y C Y 2 0 2 % 0 H is C t o r ic 1 .7 % Y 2 0 2 a l G A -4 .7 1 d % D P G 5 .2 % 2 v a n c e d C Y 2 0 r o .6 % E c 2 2 w t h 1 .7 % o n o m C T r e 1 .7 % ie s Y 2 0 n d 1 .8 2 3 s % C Y 2 3 .7 E m 0 2 4 % e F 6 .8 % r g in g & D e -2 .2 % C Y 2 0 4 .1 % v e lo 2 5 F p 4 .4 % in g E 4 c .3 % o n o 4 m .3 % ie sand into 2025 as inflation eases further and monetary policy continues to loosen, supporting steady growth. Macroeconomic risks, in our view, have become more balanced. The U.S. has performed better than other developed economies, particularly those in Europe where the consumer sentiment has been relatively weak – though the picture in Europe has been varied. A sustained recovery in tourism this year has boosted the economies of Greece and Spain, whereas Germany, France, and Italy have been held back by the slower recovery of manufacturing. Nonetheless, the European Central Bank (ECB) lowered the three key interest rates in June – for the first time since September 2019 – which will support stronger regional growth. The global economy is showing signs of stabilizing, yet growth will remain subdued this year before picking up pace in 2025. We forecast global growth of around 2.5% in 2024, half a percentage point softer than in the decade following the financial crisis. The weaker outlook reflects fiscal consolidation, lagged tight monetary policy, restrictive trade policies, and elevated levels of geopolitical uncertainty. Looking ahead to 2025, global growth is likely to pick up slightly to 2.8% as the impact of these factors declines and stronger growth becomes more entrenched. Emerging economies look set for softer growth in general this year. On a regional basis, growth is likely to be markedly slower in Eastern Europe, but only slightly softer in Asia Pacific and Latin America, with growth only moderately slower in key economies such as the Chinese Mainland, India, and Brazil. Outcomes in developed economies are also mixed but largely remain subdued because of tight policy settings. Source-IMF, OECD, and World Bank, D&B Estimates Although Europe experienced a less robust performance in 2023, the recovery in 2024 is expected to be driven by increased household consumption as the impact of energy price shocks diminishes and inflation decreases, thereby bolstering real income growth. Meanwhile, India and China saw greater-than-anticipated growth in 2023 due to heightened government spending and robust domestic demand, respectively. Sub-Saharan Africa's expected growth in 2024 is attributed to the diminishing negative impacts of previous weather shocks and gradual improvements in supply issues. INDIA MACROECONOMIC ANALYSIS GDP Growth Scenario India’s economy showed resilience with GDP growing at 8.2% in CY 2023. The GDP growth in CY 2023 represents a return to pre pandemic era growth path. Even amidst geopolitical uncertainties, particularly those affecting global energy and commodity markets, India continues to remain one of the fastest growing economies in the world. 97 | Pa geThere are few factors aiding India’s economic recovery – notably its resilience to external shocks and rebound in private consumption. This rebound in private consumption is bringing back the focus on improvements in domestic demand, which together with revival in export demand is a precursor to higher industrial activity. Already the capacity utilization rates in Indian manufacturing sector are recovering as industries have stepped up their production volumes. As this momentum sustains, the country may enter a new capex (capital expenditure) cycle. The universal vaccination program by the Government has played a big part in reinstating confidence among the population, in turn helped to revive private consumption.

Realizing the need to impart external stimuli, the Government stepped up its spending on infrastructure projects which in turn had a positive impact on economic growth. The capital expenditure of the central government increased by 37.4% increase in capital expenditure (budget estimates), to the tune of ₹ 10 trillion in the Union Budget 2023-2024. The announcement also included a 30% increase in financial assistance to states at ₹ 1.3 trillion for capex. The improvement was accentuated further as the Budget 2024-2025 announced an 11.1% increase in the capital expenditure outlay at ₹ 11.11trillion, constituting 3.4% of the GDP. This has provided much-needed confidence to the private sector, and in turn, attracted private investment. On the lending side, the financial health of major banks has witnessed an improvement which has helped in improving the credit supply. With capacity utilization improving, there would be demand for credit from the corporate sector to fund the next round of expansion plans. The banking industry is well poised to address that demand. Underlining the improving credit scenario is the credit growth to the micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) sector as the credit outstanding to the MSME sector by scheduled commercial banks in the fiscal year 2024 grew by 14% to ₹ 10.31 trillion compared to ₹ 9.02 trillion as on 24 March 2023. The extended Emergency Credit Linked Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS) by the Union Government has played a major role in improving this credit supply. As per the provisional estimates 2023-24, India’s GDP in FY 2024 grew by 8.2% compared to 7.0% in the previous fiscal on the back of solid performances in manufacturing, mining, and construction sectors. The year- on-year increase in growth rate is also partly due to by a strong growth in investment demand led by public capital expenditure. 98 | Pa geSource: Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MOSPI), National Account Statistics, 2023-24 RE stands for Revised Estimates, SAE stands for Second Advance Estimates INDIA’S GROWTH OUTLOOK India's economy has exceeded expectations, registering an 8.2% growth in FY24. High-frequency indicators such as automobile sales, e-way bills, cargo traffic, and exports signal sustained growth momentum into Q2 FY25. However, the rural demand outlook is tied to the monsoon, where inconsistent rainfall could impact the agriculture sector and inflation. The government is proactively boosting grain storage capacity to mitigate these risks. On the credit front, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has kept the policy rate unchanged, with inflation expected to average around 5% in FY25. Despite stable policy rates, lending rates may rise due to the incomplete transmission of earlier hikes, while strong credit growth in the private sector suggests potential capacity expansion. Supply-side challenges persist, particularly in food storage infrastructure. The government has launched a massive initiative to enhance grain storage capacity by 70 million tonnes over the next five years. The recent long-term agreement for operating Iran's Chabahar Port is also set to bolster trade and supply chain resilience. In terms of trade, India's recent agreements, particularly with the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and Oman, are opening new markets and opportunities for exports. The proposed mega-distribution hub in the UAE by 2025 will further support India's global trade ambitions, particularly in Africa, Europe, and the US. Politically, the continuation of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government signals sustained reforms, with optimism around labour and land reforms. The government is also taking steps to control retail inflation by managing food prices and import duties. The external environment remains cautious, with geopolitical tensions, particularly in Gaza, posing potential risks to global stability. Overall, India's short-term growth outlook remains positive, underpinned by strong domestic demand, proactive government measures, and expanding global trade relationships, despite some challenges in the rural economy and supply chain infrastructure. India’s Projected Economic Growth Looking ahead to 2024, India's projected GDP growth of 6.8% in 2024 stands out as the fastest among major emerging markets, significantly outpacing China's 4.6%, and Brazil's 2.2%. This robust growth trajectory is expected to sustain at 6.5% annually from 2025 to 2029, reflecting strong economic fundamentals and continued momentum. 99 | Pa ge F %8.9 Y 2 0 2 2 2 n G r %4.9 d R o E w t h T r e n d ( C o n %0.7 F Y 2 0 2 G D P s t a 3 1 n t 2 0 %7.6 s t R E G V A 1 1 -1 2 P r ic e s %2.8 F ) Y 2 0 2 4 P %2.7 EThis decent growth momentum in near term (CY 2024) is accompanied by a slowdown in inflation, as well as various other factors in the medium to long term that will support the economy. These include enhancements in physical infrastructure, advancements in digital and payment technology, improvements in the ease of doing business and a higher quality of fiscal expenditure to foster sustained growth. On the demand side, improving employment conditions and moderating inflation are expected to stimulate household consumption. Further, the investment cycle is gaining traction, propelled by sustained government capital expenditure, increased capacity utilization and rising credit flow. Additionally, there are positive signs of improvement in net external demand, as reflected in the narrowing merchandise trade deficit. Despite the supply disruptions, exports clocked positive y-o-y growth in December 2023 and January 2024. From uplifting the underprivileged to energizing the nation's infrastructure development, the Government has outlined its vision to propel India's advancement and achieve a 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047 in the interim budget announced on1st Feb 2024. Noteworthy positives in the budget include achieving a lower-than-targeted fiscal deficit for FY2024 and setting a lower-than expected fiscal deficit target for FY2025, proposing dedicated commodity corridors and port connectivity corridors, providing long-term financing at low or nil interest rates to the private sector to step up R&D (Research & Development) in the sunrise sectors. Achieving a reduced fiscal deficit of 5.8% in FY2024 and projecting a lower than-anticipated fiscal deficit of 4.9% as announced in the interim budget in July 2024 for the current fiscal year (FY 2025) are positive credit outcomes for India. This showcases the country's capability to pursue a high-growth trajectory while adhering to the fiscal glide path. There has been a significant boost to capital expenditure for two consecutive years; capital expenditure – which is budgeted at 3.4% of GDP (₹ 11.1 trillion/USD 134 billion) for fiscal year 2024-25 – is at a 21-year high (3.3% of GDP in fiscal year 2023-24. The enhancement of port connectivity, coupled with the establishment of dedicated commodity corridors (energy, mineral and cement), is poised to enhance manufacturing competitiveness. This strategic move aims to fulfil India's export targets and reduce logistics costs. India's optimistic economic outlook is underpinned by its demographic dividend, which brings a substantial workforce that boosts labor participation and productivity. The burgeoning middle class and urbanization contribute to increased domestic consumption, driven by rising incomes and purchasing power. Extensive investments in infrastructure, encompassing roads, railways, ports, and digital connectivity, are enhancing productivity and efficiency, with government initiatives like the Smart Cities Mission and PM Gati Shakti creating a conducive growth environment. This digital transformation, catalyzed by initiatives such as Digital India, is fostering a tech-driven economy marked by enhanced internet penetration, digital payments, and e-governance, thereby fueling growth in sectors like fintech, e-commerce, and digital services. The push to position India as a global manufacturing hub through Make in India and PLI (Production Linked Incentive) schemes is further boosting industrial output, exports, and domestic production capabilities.

India’s Per capita GDP trends India is poised to become the world's third-largest economy with a projected GDP of USD 5 trillion within the next three years, driven by ongoing reforms. As one of the fastest-growing major economies, India currently holds the position of the fifth-largest economy globally, following the US, China, Japan, and Germany. By 2027-28, it is anticipated that India will surpass both Germany and Japan, reaching the third-largest spot. This growth is bolstered by a surge in foreign investments and a wave of new trade agreements with India’s burgeoning market of 1.4 billion people. The aviation industry is witnessing unprecedented orders, global electronics manufacturers are expanding their production capabilities, and suppliers traditionally concentrated in southern China’s manufacturing hubs are now shifting towards India. To achieve its vision of becoming the world’s third-largest economy by 2027-28, India will need to implement transformative industrial and governmental policies. These policies will be crucial for sustaining the consistent growth of the nation's per capita GDP over the long term. Source: IMF From CY 2024-29, India’s per capita GDP is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 9.4%. This growth will be driven by the service sector, which now accounts for over 50% of India's GDP, marking a significant shift from agriculture to services. Digitization Reforms Ongoing digitization reforms and the resultant efficiency gains accrued would be a key economic growth driver in India in the medium to long term. Development of digital platforms has helped in the seamless roll out of initiatives like UPI (Unified Payments Interface), Aadhaar based benefit transfer programs, and streamlining of GST (Goods and Services Tax) collections. All of these have contributed to improving the economic output in the country. Some of the key factors that have supported the digitization reforms include – the growth in internet penetration in India together with drop in data tariffs, growth in smartphone penetration, favorable demographic pattern (with higher percentage of tech savvy youth population) and India’s strong IT (Information Technology) sector which was leveraged to put in place the digital ecosystem. All these factors are expected to remain supportive and continue to propel the digitization reforms in India. Increased adoption of digital technology and innovation, inclusive and sustainable practices, business-friendly and transparent regulations, and heightened corporate research and development (R&D) investments will further bolster the country’s growth. 101 | Pa ge 2 C ,0 5 Y 2 0 0 .2 1 9 1 C ,9 1 Y 2 5 0 .6 2 0 G 2 C r o w ,2 5 0 .2 Y 2 0 2 t 1 h in G 2 ,3 6 C Y 2 6 0 D .3 2 2 P P 2 C e r ,5 0 Y 2 C 0 .4 0 2 a 3 p C it 2 Y a : C u ,7 3 0 .8 2 0 2 4 r F r C e 2 Y n t P r ,9 8 3 .5 2 0 2 5 ic F e C s , U S D 3 ,2 6 4 .5 Y 2 0 2 6 F ( In d ia ) 3 ,5 7 3 .3 C Y 2 0 2 7 F C 3 Y ,9 1 0 .7 2 0 2 8 F C 4 Y ,2 8 1 .2 2 0 2 9 FThese factors will collectively support employment growth across both private and public sectors, including micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). GLOBAL TRAVEL & TOURISM INDUSTRY The global tourism industry, once a cornerstone of economic stability, is experiencing a robust resurgence. Before the pandemic, travel and tourism were responsible for one in five new jobs and contributed 10.4% to global GDP, underpinning 334 Mn jobs worldwide. In 2019, international visitor spending reached USD1.86 trillion, representing 6.8% of global exports. Contribution to Global Economy Despite the pandemic's severe impact, the sector has been making a notable recovery. In the year 2022, the Travel & Tourism's contribution to global GDP grew by 22%, reaching USD 7.7 trillion. This figure, while still 23% below the 2019 peak, demonstrates a significant rebound given the ongoing challenges of inflation, staff shortages, and persistent COVID-19 restrictions. The strongest recovery has been observed in Latin America, North America, and Europe, which are approaching pre-pandemic levels. In 2022, the sector generated 21.6 Mn new jobs, bringing the total to 295 Mn, and supported one in eleven global jobs. International travel also showed encouraging signs, with spending up 82% to USD1.1 trillion, although this remains 40% below 2019 figures.

Its impact is multifaceted, influencing various aspects of the economy: The travel and tourism sector are a substantial component of India’s GDP. It generates considerable revenue through domestic and international tourism, including spending on accommodation, food, transportation, and recreational activities. The industry's contribution to GDP includes both direct impacts, such as expenditures by tourists, and indirect impacts, like the effects on related industries such as construction, agriculture, and retail. Contribution to Indian Economy In FY 2018, tourism contributed 5.03% to India's GDP, reflecting a period of steady growth driven by increased global interest and effective government initiatives. The sector benefited from enhanced infrastructure, promotional efforts, and a growing appeal of India as a travel destination. This stable contribution indicated a thriving tourism industry that was integral to the national economy. In FY 2019, the contribution slightly decreased to 5.01%, showing a minor dip but maintaining a significant impact on the economy. This stabilization suggests that while the sector continued to grow, the rate of increase had moderated. The tourism industry continued to thrive due to sustained efforts in service expansion and infrastructure development, although external factors like global economic conditions might have influenced this slight decline. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic led to a dramatic reduction in tourism's contribution to GDP, plummeting to 1.50% in FY 2021. The pandemic severely disrupted global travel, causing widespread lockdowns and travel restrictions that significantly impacted tourism revenues. By FY 2022, the sector began to show signs of recovery, with the contribution rising to 1.77% as restrictions eased and travel gradually resumed. This marginal increase highlighted the early stages of a rebound, although the sector was still far from pre-pandemic levels, reflecting the long-term impact of the crisis on tourism.

In 2019, India enjoyed a robust influx of international tourists, amounting to 10.93 Mn arrivals, demonstrating strong global travel demand and effective tourism promotion. However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 drastically reduced this number to 2.74 Mn, reflecting a 74.9% decrease due to widespread travel restrictions and lockdowns. The downward trend continued into 2021, with arrivals further declining to 1.52 Mn, a 44.5% drop from the previous year, as the pandemic persisted and new variants emerged, causing intermittent lockdowns and continued travel hesitancy. The year 2022 marked a significant turnaround, with foreign tourist arrivals surging to 6.44 Mn. This 323.7% increase from 2021 can be attributed to widespread vaccination campaigns, the easing of travel restrictions, and a renewed confidence in international travel. The upward trend continued into 2023, with 9.24 Mn foreign tourists visiting India, a 43.5% rise from the previous year. This growth underscores the recovery of international tourism as global travel neared pre-pandemic levels, bolstered by improved travel infrastructure and aggressive marketing efforts. In the initial six months of 2024, India recorded 4.77 Mn foreign tourist arrivals, suggesting a continued positive trend. Projections based on this rate indicate that India could achieve or surpass its pre-pandemic tourism levels by the end of the year. Domestic Tourist Travel in India India's domestic tourism sector has shown notable fluctuations in recent years, primarily influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, domestic tourist visits peaked at 2,322 Mn. However, the pandemic drastically impacted travel, causing a sharp decline in 2020 to just 610 Mn visits, a nearly 74% drop from the previous year. As recovery began, 2021 saw a modest increase to 678 Mn visits, reflecting a gradual return to pre-pandemic levels. The upward trend continued in 2022, with visits surging to 1,731 Mn, signalling a strong resurgence in domestic travel as pandemic restrictions eased. In 2023, India saw a significant resurgence in international tourism, with a substantial increase in the number of foreign tourists visiting the country compared to the previous year. Major states that attracted the highest number of international visitors included Maharashtra, Gujarat, West Bengal, and Delhi. Maharashtra led in this category, followed by Gujarat, West Bengal, and Delhi. On the other hand, some states experienced a much lower influx of international tourists, including Lakshadweep, Haryana, and Chhattisgarh, which saw notably fewer visitors compared to the leading states. The recovery in both domestic and international tourism highlights the sector's resilience, with domestic tourism rebounding to pre-pandemic levels and international tourist arrivals expected to reach pre-pandemic numbers by 2024. The Indian government has supported this recovery through initiatives such as the Swadesh Darshan scheme, which, since its launch in 2014-15, has sanctioned ₹ 5,294.11 crore for 76 tourism projects across 14 thematic circuits, with ₹ 4,865.8 crore already released for implementation. 106 | Pa ge C 1 Y 0 .9 3 2 0 1 9 C 2 Y F o .7 4 2 0 r 2 e 0 ig n T C o 1 Y u .5 2 r 2 0 is t 2 1 A r C r iv a 6 .4 Y 2 ls 4 0 2 in 2 In d C ia 9 Y ( in .2 4 2 0 2 M 3 n ) Ja n 4 .7 - Ju 7 n '2 4Source: Ministry of Tourism, Latest data published till 2022 The recovery in both domestic and international tourism highlights the sector's resilience, with domestic tourism rebounding to pre-pandemic levels and international arrivals on track to reach pre-pandemic numbers by 2024. This robust recovery reflects a strong resurgence in travel and tourism activities across the country, driven by a renewed global interest in India as a travel destination. This positive trend has been significantly supported by government initiatives such as the Swadesh Darshan scheme, launched in 2014-15. This program has played a crucial role in revitalizing the tourism sector through substantial financial investments.

Growth Forecast: Tourist Arrivals The expected growth in the travel and tourism sector's contribution to the Indian economy is anticipated to be significant in the coming years. As the industry recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, experts project that the contribution of travel and tourism to India's GDP will continue to rise, driven by both domestic and international demand. The Indian government's initiatives to promote tourism, coupled with the increasing disposable income of the middle class, are expected to boost domestic tourism substantially. Additionally, the "Dekho Apna Dish" campaign and improvements in infrastructure, such as better connectivity and more affordable air travel options, are likely to further enhance this growth. Internationally, India is also positioning itself as a key destination for global travellers, with efforts to streamline visa processes, improve tourist safety, and enhance the overall visitor experience. This is expected to attract more foreign tourists, contributing to the growth of foreign exchange earnings and, subsequently, the overall economy.

Growth Forecast: Economic Contribution The substantial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism sector's economic contribution. In 2017-18, tourism contributed significantly to the national economy, accounting for 5.03% of GDP. However, the pandemic led to a sharp decline, with the sector's share dropping to 1.50% in 2020-21. The total contribution to GDP in USD terms also reflects this downturn, falling from USD 50.08 Bn in 2022 to a much-reduced figure during the peak of the pandemic. Both direct and indirect contributions experienced significant reductions, with direct contributions decreasing from 2.61% to 0.78%, and indirect contributions from 2.42% to 0.72%. Source: D&B Desk Research Despite the downturn, the sector has shown signs of recovery. By 2021-22, the contribution to GDP increased to 1.77%, with direct contributions rising to 0.92% and indirect contributions to 0.85%. The total contribution to GDP is projected to grow to USD 121.88 Bn by 2033, reflecting an 8.4% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), which indicates a potential resurgence as travel restrictions ease and consumer confidence rebounds. While the tourism industry is on the path to recovery, it has yet to reach pre-pandemic levels, and its full revival will depend on the continued stabilization of global travel conditions and effective recovery strategies. Revenue Growth The Indian tourism sector is on the brink of a transformative period, with remarkable growth on the horizon. Revenue from tourism is forecasted to leap from USD 28 Bn in 2023 to an impressive USD 59 Bn by 2028. This dramatic increase is indicative of the sector's robust recovery and its promising future as it emerges from the shadows of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Indian Air Travel Market Domestic Air Travel Trends In the fiscal year 2023-24, domestic air travel in India exhibited notable growth compared to the previous year. Departing passengers reached 153.7 Mn, marking a significant increase of 13.0% from 136.0 Mn in 2022-23. This surge in passenger numbers is mirrored by a 12.2% rise in domestic airline demand, measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres (RPK), which climbed from 132.0 Bn to 148.2 Bn. Additionally, the Available Seat Kilometres (ASK) for domestic airlines increased by 6.9%, reaching 169.2 Bn from 158.3 Bn. These metrics underscore a robust recovery and expansion in domestic air travel. Source: DGCA, Handbook 2024 Over the past decade, domestic passenger traffic has demonstrated a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%, reflecting sustained growth in the sector. This period saw a steady increase in passenger volumes, from 60.7 Mn in 2013-14 to 153.7 Mn in 2023-24. The data highlights the resilience and expansion of the domestic air travel market, with the increase in passenger numbers and airline capacity indicating a growing demand and recovery trajectory in the Indian aviation sector. International Air Travel Trends In the fiscal year 2023-24, international air travel from India showed substantial growth compared to the previous year. Departing and arriving international passengers surged to 66.7 Mn, reflecting a robust increase of 22.1% from 54.6 Mn in 2022-23.

This growth trajectory underscores a strengthening of international travel demand and an expanded network of flights connecting India with the global market. The substantial growth in passenger volumes and airline capacity indicates a positive shift in international travel trends and a recovery path from previous disruptions. Revenue Growth Trend In the fiscal year 2022-23, India's aviation sector witnessed a remarkable rebound, with total operating revenue soaring to ₹ 1,200 Bn. This sharp recovery follows a challenging period during the COVID-19 pandemic, where revenues had dropped significantly. From a low of ₹ 395 Bn in FY 2021, the sector’s revenue surged, reflecting a robust recovery and a strong return to growth as travel demand rebounded. Source: DGCA, Handbook The revenue trend over the past few years illustrates a compelling comeback story. After the significant dip in FY 2021, the industry's revenue steadily climbed, culminating in the highest figure recorded over the past five years. This positive trajectory underscores the resilience of the Indian aviation sector and its capacity to bounce back from disruptions, driven by increased passenger numbers and improved market conditions. Leading the revenue charts, IndiGo emerged as the top performer, capturing 45.4% of the total revenue. Air India followed with 26.1% of the total revenue share. Vistara contributed 9.8%, Air India Express contributed 4.8%, and SpiceJet 7.4%. Together, these top five airlines represented approximately 93.5% of the total revenue, highlighting their significant influence and leadership in the Indian aviation landscape. Key Demand Drivers Low-cost carriers India leads the world in the share of low-cost carriers (LCCs) in airline capacity, with LCCs controlling 71% of the market. This is significantly higher than the global average of 34%, and surpasses Indonesia, the next highest, where LCCs hold 64% of the capacity. In contrast, China’s market is dominated by legacy carriers, with LCCs only holding 12% of the market. The UK shows a more balanced split between LCCs and legacy carriers, while countries like Brazil, Italy, and Spain also have higher LCC shares compared to legacy carriers. IndiGo, the largest LCC in India, dominates the sector, holding 62% of the domestic passenger market share and 70.2% of the LCC market, which includes competitors like Akasa and SpiceJet. Despite this strong position, Indian carriers face challenges in generating ancillary revenues, such as fees for extra services. IndiGo’s ancillary revenue per traveller stands at USD5.86, making up 7.1% of its total revenue, which is lower compared to global peers like Ryanair, easyJet, and Southwest. The growing prominence of LCCs is reflected in the top four global airlines—Southwest, Ryanair, IndiGo, and easyJet—being LCCs. Since 2019, LCCs have increased their global capacity share by 13%, while legacy carriers are still recovering to pre-pandemic levels. Improvement in airport infrastructure & connectivity As of early 2024, India's airport infrastructure comprises 149 operational airports, reflecting a notable expansion over the past decade, during which 70 new airports were added. The Indian government's strategic vision aims to further enhance this network, with plans to increase the total number of airports to 200 in the near future. This expansion is supported by initiatives such as the UDAN (Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik) scheme, which has significantly bolstered regional connectivity. Under this scheme, 517 routes have been operationalized, connecting 110 | Pa ge F Y 8 1 2 1 0 1 9 In F d Y ia 9 8 2 n 9 0 A 2 0 ir lin e R F Y e v e n 3 9 5 2 0 2 1 u e ( in IN F Y R 6 6 2 B 3 0 2 n 2 ) F 1 Y 2 2 0 0 0 2 3previously underserved regions and serving approximately 13 Mn passengers. The expansion is complemented by substantial investments from major carriers, with IndiGo placing a record order for 500 Airbus aircraft and Air India securing 470 aircraft from both Airbus and Boeing. Domestic air traffic in India has demonstrated a strong recovery, with approximately 114 Mn passengers traveling in the first nine months of FY2024. This represents a significant rebound, with an expected growth rate of 8-13% for the fiscal year compared to FY2023. To support this growth, ongoing investments are being directed towards upgrading and expanding airport infrastructure, particularly in tier-2 and tier-3 cities. These upgrades are essential to accommodate the rising passenger volumes and to improve connectivity across the country, ensuring that the benefits of the expanding air network are felt nationwide. Changes in tourism spending pattern The Union Budget for FY 2024-25 outlines key measures for the Indian tourism sector with ₹ 2,479.62 crores allocated for infrastructure, including tourism circuits and key historical sites. It supports enhanced connectivity and sustainable practices while highlighting the need for improved international tourism marketing, aiming to address shifts in tourism spending patterns and support the sector's growth. With tourism contributing significantly to the GDP and employment, the budget anticipates an increase in tourism's GDP share to 7.6% by 2034. The budget proposes enhanced investments in infrastructure and targeted interventions, including support for tourism circuits, eco-tourism, and less-explored destinations, along with improved connectivity through road, rail, and air enhancements. However, while domestic tourism promotion funding has increased, overseas promotion has seen a substantial reduction. This reduction could impact India's ability to attract international visitors despite rising domestic travel spending. The budget highlights the need for strategic overseas marketing and promotion to bolster India’s global tourism standing. Additionally, the focus on sustainable tourism and large-scale projects underscores the importance of adapting to evolving tourism trends and ensuring long-term growth and competitiveness in the sector. Increase in business travel India’s business travel sector is poised for significant growth, with an anticipated increase of 18.3% in 2024. This robust expansion is attributed to rising corporate incomes and a surge in foreign direct investment. In 2023, Indian companies spent approximately USD32.3 Bn on business trips, meetings, conferences, and events. Despite a notable 24.7% rise in business travel expenditure last year, India lagged behind other major Asia-Pacific (APAC) countries. The Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) projects that by 2025, business travel spending in India will fully recover to pre-COVID levels, and by 2027, it will exceed those levels by 20%. India, currently accounting for about 5.7% of APAC’s business travel spend, ranks as the fourth largest market in the region after China, Japan, and South Korea, and the ninth largest globally. This resurgence in business travel is a crucial driver for the aviation industry, as increased corporate travel will lead to higher demand for air travel services. The strong economic outlook and strategic investments in business travel are expected to significantly enhance the performance of the aviation sector in India. Ticketing solutions / service providers and their role in air travel ecosystem Ticketing solutions and service providers are crucial to the Indian air travel industry, streamlining bookings, enhancing customer access, and improving operational efficiencies. In India, the airline sector relies on a variety of ticketing solutions, including online travel agencies (OTAs) like MakeMyTrip, Cleartrip, and GoIbibo. These platforms offer integrated services for booking flights, accommodations, and transportation, making them popular for their convenience and competitive pricing. Service providers in the sector act as intermediaries, optimizing ticket distribution and customer access through technological advancements. They focus on enhancing operational processes and providing tailored solutions to both airlines and travellers, thereby improving customer experiences and operational performance. The impact of technology is evident in the rise of mobile applications and digital wallets, which have revolutionized ticket purchasing by making transactions faster and more accessible. Airlines benefit from these ticketing solutions through improved revenue management and customer relationship management (CRM). Advanced systems enable dynamic pricing strategies and enhanced customer engagement, fostering loyalty and satisfaction. However, the industry faces challenges such as capacity constraints at airports, intense competition affecting pricing and profitability, and operational disruptions from technical failures and regulatory complexities. Impact on technology disruption in ticketing solutions 111 | Pa geTechnological advancements are revolutionizing the airline industry’s ticketing solutions, driving significant changes in how airlines engage with passengers and manage operations. Innovations such as Android-based in- seat platforms, wireless internet, and in-flight e-commerce are enhancing passenger engagement and opening new revenue streams. Robotics and automation are becoming crucial, with substantial investments in automated bag- drop machines and self-driving luggage vehicles aimed at boosting operational efficiency and customer service. Additionally, technologies like New Distribution Capability (NDC) and ONE Order are transforming airline distribution by streamlining transactions through APIs, while digital twins and AI are improving predictive analytics and air traffic management. Air India’s USD 200 Mn technology overhaul serves as a prime example of this industry-wide shift. The airline is investing in modernizing its booking platform with an intuitive interface and real-time updates, enhancing the user experience and reducing uncertainty. By incorporating AI and machine learning, Air India aims to personalize services, offer dynamic pricing, and streamline reservation and check-in processes. This strategic move aligns with global trends where airlines are leveraging advanced technologies to improve service delivery and meet evolving customer expectations. Growth Forecast India's aviation sector is experiencing remarkable growth, with the government investing around USD11 Bn to build new airports and refurbish existing ones. The country plans to increase its number of airports from 150 to 200 within the next five years to keep pace with the rapidly expanding air passenger market. With a population of 1.4 Bn, India is on track to become the world's third-largest aviation market, following China and the United States. Domestic air passenger traffic is projected to double by 2030, reaching 300 Mn passengers annually, prompting significant upgrades in infrastructure and operational efficiency. D&B Research Recent developments, such as Air India's order of 470 aircraft from Airbus and Boeing and the expansion plans of other airlines like Akasa, highlight India's emergence as one of the world's largest aircraft purchasers. The growth in fleet size, alongside ongoing infrastructure enhancements, is part of India's broader strategy to support its booming aviation sector. Despite minor challenges like winter fog delays, the sector is in major growth mode, with the current investments positioning India to meet the demands of its rapidly increasing air traffic and solidify its role in the global aviation industry. The Indian government plans to invest approximately USD12 Bn in airport infrastructure by 2025, aiming to increase the number of operational airports from 148 in 2023 to 220 by 2025. This expansion is vital to accommodate the rising number of air passengers. Additionally, India has become the world's largest aircraft purchaser after the U.S. and China, with its fleet size expected to grow from 713 to over 2,000 aircraft in the next decade. In 2023 alone, airlines placed orders for 970 new aircraft, reflecting strong confidence in the future demand for air travel. India's economy is projected to grow significantly, potentially reaching USD20 trillion by 2047, which is expected to drive increased demand for air travel, particularly among the expanding middle class. With a median age of 28.2 years, the country has a youthful population that is increasingly inclined to travel. By 2030, the middle class is expected to make up 47% of the population, further boosting air travel demand both domestically and internationally. Additionally, there is a rising preference for air travel, especially for short-haul flights, driven by competitive pricing from low-cost carriers (LCCs) and improved travel experiences. Emergence of Air Ticket Distribution Platform Key attributes & features 112 | Pa ge G r o w t 1 5 4 2 0 2 3 h in D o m e s t ic P a s s e n g e r T r a ffic 3 0 0 2 0 3 0 ( in M n )Centralized Booking Systems: Air travel distribution platforms serve as centralized hubs where users can search for, compare, and book flights from a wide range of airlines. These platforms aggregate data from multiple airlines and travel agencies, offering a comprehensive overview of available flight options. For example, Expedia and Kayak allow travellers to view flights from various airlines, compare prices, and filter results based on preferences like departure time, duration, and layovers. This centralized approach saves time and effort by providing a one- stop shop for all travel needs, eliminating the need to visit multiple airline websites individually. Real-Time Data Integration: Real-time data integration is a critical feature of modern air travel distribution platforms. These platforms continuously update flight availability, pricing, and schedules, ensuring that users have the most current information when planning their travel. Google Flights, for instance, provides real-time price tracking and alerts, allowing users to monitor fare changes and book flights at the most opportune time. This feature is particularly useful for last-minute travellers or those looking to capitalize on price drops. Multi-Channel Accessibility: To cater to the diverse needs of travellers, air travel distribution platforms are designed to be accessible across multiple channels. Whether users prefer to book flights via a website, mobile app, or through a third-party travel agency, these platforms ensure a seamless experience across all devices. Booking.com and Trip.com exemplify this approach by offering synchronized access to travel bookings on both desktop and mobile platforms. This multi-channel accessibility allows users to start their booking process on one device and complete it on another, providing flexibility and convenience. Personalization: Personalization is a key differentiator for many air travel distribution platforms. Using advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence, these platforms analyze user preferences, past bookings, and browsing behaviour to offer tailored recommendations. For example, TripAdvisor and Hopper use AI to suggest destinations, flights, and hotels that align with a user’s travel history and preferences. If a user frequently travels to beach destinations, the platform might highlight similar tropical locations or suggest relevant travel deals, creating a more engaging and customized experience. Dynamic Pricing: Dynamic pricing models are widely used by air travel distribution platforms to adjust fares in real-time based on various factors such as demand, booking time, and market conditions. This allows airlines to optimize revenue while offering competitive prices to consumers. Hopper is known for its dynamic pricing feature, where the platform predicts future flight prices and advises users on the best times to book. This feature helps travellers secure lower fares and airlines maximize their yield by adjusting prices based on current market dynamics. Ancillary Services Integration: Beyond just booking flights, modern travel distribution platforms integrate ancillary services such as baggage, seat selection, in-flight meals, and travel insurance. This integration streamlines the travel planning process by allowing users to manage all aspects of their journey in one place. Orbitz and Expedia enable travellers to add these services during the booking process, offering a more convenient and comprehensive experience. For example, when booking a flight, a traveller can choose their seat, pre-purchase baggage allowance, and opt for in-flight meals, all within the same transaction. New Distribution Capability (NDC) Compliance: NDC compliance is an important feature for many air travel distribution platforms. The New Distribution Capability (NDC) is a data transmission standard developed by IATA that allows for richer content distribution and more personalized offers from airlines to consumers. Platforms like Amadeus and Sabre have adopted NDC, enabling direct communication between airlines and travel agents. This facilitates more detailed fare options, ancillary services, and bundled offers, giving consumers greater choice and flexibility when booking flights. User-Friendly Interfaces: User experience is a key focus for air travel distribution platforms, and user-friendly interfaces are central to this. These platforms are designed with intuitive navigation, clear pricing information, and streamlined booking processes to make it easy for users to find and book flights. Cleartrip and Airbnb (for flights in certain regions) are examples of platforms that prioritize simplicity and ease of use. Their interfaces allow users to quickly filter results, view flight details, and manage bookings with minimal effort, enhancing overall satisfaction. Enhanced Security: With the increasing amount of personal and financial information being exchanged during online transactions, security is paramount for air travel distribution platforms. These platforms implement robust security measures, including encryption, secure payment gateways, and fraud detection systems, to protect user data. PayPal integration on platforms like eDreams and Expedia provides an added layer of security, ensuring that payment details are kept safe. Enhanced security features build trust with users, encouraging them to book flights with confidence. Integration with Loyalty Programs: Loyalty program integration is a significant feature of air travel distribution platforms, allowing users to earn and redeem points or miles directly through the platform. Rocketmiles and Points.com are examples of platforms that offer this integration, making it easy for travellers to manage their loyalty accounts across multiple airlines and hotel chains. For instance, a user booking a flight on Rocketmiles 113 | Pa gecan earn frequent flyer miles that can be redeemed for future travel, providing additional value and encouraging repeat bookings. Role in Travel Industry Air travel distribution platforms play a pivotal role in the airline travel industry by acting as intermediaries between airlines and travellers. They streamline the booking process, enhance customer experience, and support airlines in optimizing their operations and revenue management. Here's a closer look at their roles: Market Reach Expansion: Air travel distribution platforms significantly expand the market reach of airlines by making flight options accessible to a global audience. Through partnerships with online travel agencies (OTAs) like Expedia, Booking.com, and Trip.com, airlines can tap into a vast pool of potential customers who might not visit individual airline websites directly. This expanded reach helps airlines attract more bookings and fill seats across various routes. Revenue Management and Dynamic Pricing: These platforms support airlines in implementing dynamic pricing strategies by continuously updating fare information based on demand, booking patterns, and market conditions. With real-time data integration, platforms like Hopper and Google Flights enable airlines to adjust prices dynamically, maximizing revenue by charging higher prices when demand is high and offering discounts during low-demand periods. Enhanced Customer Experience: Air travel distribution platforms enhance the customer experience by providing a one-stop shop for travellers to search, compare, and book flights from multiple airlines. They offer features like personalized recommendations, real-time updates, and multi-channel accessibility, making the booking process more convenient and tailored to individual preferences. This user-centric approach helps airlines attract and retain customers. Distribution of Ancillary Services: Beyond selling tickets, these platforms facilitate the distribution of ancillary services such as baggage, seat selection, in-flight meals, and travel insurance. By integrating these services into the booking process, platforms like Orbitz and Cleartrip help airlines generate additional revenue streams while providing customers with a more comprehensive travel experience. Facilitation of New Distribution Capability (NDC): Many modern distribution platforms are NDC-compliant, allowing airlines to offer richer, more customized content directly to consumers and travel agents. This capability enhances the transparency and attractiveness of airline offerings, enabling airlines to differentiate themselves in a competitive market. Platforms like Amadeus and Sabre are at the forefront of adopting NDC, facilitating more personalized and flexible fare options. Data Analytics and Insights: Air travel distribution platforms provide airlines with valuable data analytics and insights into customer behaviour, booking trends, and market dynamics. This information helps airlines refine their marketing strategies, optimize route planning, and improve customer targeting. For instance, platforms can track which destinations are trending and advise airlines on where to allocate additional capacity. Global Distribution System (GDS) Integration: Many air travel distribution platforms are integrated with Global Distribution Systems (GDS) like Sabre, Amadeus, and Travelport, which aggregate and distribute airline inventory to travel agencies worldwide. This integration allows airlines to maintain a presence across multiple sales channels, ensuring that their flights are available to a broad range of potential customers through various booking platforms. Supporting Low-Cost Carriers (LCCs): Low-cost carriers (LCCs) often rely heavily on-air travel distribution platforms to reach price-sensitive customers and maintain low operational costs. Platforms like Skyscanner and Kayak, which aggregate fares from multiple LCCs, make it easier for travellers to find and book affordable flights. This has led to the growth of LCCs by making them more accessible to a wider audience. Crisis Management and Communication: During disruptions like flight cancellations, delays, or global events (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic), air travel distribution platforms play a crucial role in managing customer communication and rebooking processes. They provide airlines with the tools to quickly inform passengers, offer alternatives, and process refunds or reschedules, helping to maintain customer trust and satisfaction during challenging times. Loyalty Program Integration: By integrating frequent flyer and loyalty programs into their platforms, distribution systems enable airlines to engage customers and build brand loyalty. Travelers can easily earn and redeem miles or points during the booking process, encouraging repeat business and fostering long-term relationships with customers. 114 | Pa geBUSINESS OVERVIEW Some of the information contained in the following discussion, including information with respect to our business plans and strategies, contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis and comply with mandatory accounting standards as prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 (‘Act’) read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, of the provisions the Act (to the extent notified). Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use, or as otherwise disclosed. CRFS 8TSC India Limited (formerly known as TSC Travel Services Private Limited) CIN: U63040PB2003PLC026209 Notes to the restated consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 2.1 Principles of Consolidation These restated consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on audited financial statements of the Company and its one subsidiary, the management has considered the effect of any adjustments that may be required for events occurring between the date of approval by the Board of Directors of the general purpose unconsolidated financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries and the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements. The Restated consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the following basis: (a) The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary companies have been combined on a line-by-line basis by adding together the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, after fully eliminating intra group balances and intra group transactions and also unrealized profits or losses (to the extent cost can be recovered), if any, as per the Accounting Standard -21, Consolidated Financial Statements. (b) The difference between the cost to the Group of investment in subsidiaries companies and the proportionate share in the equity of the investee Group as at the date of acquisition/set- up acquisition of stake is recognized in the restated consolidated financial statements as Goodwill or Capital reserve, as the case may be, Goodwill arising on consolidation is tested for impairment at the Balance Sheet date. (c) Minorities interest in net profits of consolidated subsidiaries companies for the period is identified and adjusted against the income in order to arrive at the net income attributable to the shareholders of the Group. Their share of net assets is identified and presented in the Restated Consolidated Balance Sheet separately. Where accumulated losses attributable to the minorities are in excess of their equity, in the absence of the contractual obligation on the minorities, the same is accounted for by the Group. (d) As far as possible, the restated consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances and are presented, to the extent possible, in the same manner as the Company’s standalone financial statements. (e) The financial statements of the subsidiary company used in the consolidation are drawn up to the same reporting date as that of the Company. (f) As far as possible, the restated consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances and are presented, to the extent possible, in the same manner as the Company’s standalone financial statements.

An asset is treated as current when it is:  Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle  Held primarily for the purpose of trading  Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or  Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is current when:  It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle  It is held primarily for the purpose of trading  It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or  There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period The terms of the liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification. The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities. The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents. The Group has identified twelve months as its operating cycle. CRFS 10TSC India Limited (formerly known as TSC Travel Services Private Limited) CIN: U63040PB2003PLC026209 Notes to the restated consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 b) Use of estimates The preparation of restated consolidated financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP 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. c) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing costs if capitalization criteria are met, directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use and initial estimate of decommissioning, restoring and similar liabilities. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Items of stores and spares that meet the definition of property, plant and equipment are capitalized at cost and depreciated over their useful life. Otherwise, such items are classified as inventories. The Group adjusts exchange differences arising on translation/ settlement of long-term foreign currency monetary items pertaining to the acquisition of a depreciable asset to the cost of the asset and depreciates the same over the remaining life of the asset. In accordance with MCA circular dated 09 August 2012, exchange differences adjusted to the cost of fixed assets are total differences, arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items pertaining to the acquisition of a depreciable asset, for the period. In other words, the group does not differentiate between exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost and other exchange difference. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of property, plant and equipment are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized. The Group identifies and determines cost of each component/ part of the asset separately, if the component/ part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of the asset and has useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining asset. CRFS 11TSC India Limited (formerly known as TSC Travel Services Private Limited) CIN: U63040PB2003PLC026209 Notes to the restated consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 Property, plant and equipment held for sale is valued at lower of their carrying amount and net realizable value. Any write-down is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. d) Depreciation on property, plant and equipment Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated on a written down value basis using the rates arrived at, based on the useful lives estimated by the management. The identified components are depreciated separately over their useful lives; the remaining components are depreciated over the life of the principal asset. The Group has used the following useful lives to provide depreciation on its property, plant and equipment: Assets Useful Life as per Schedule II (years) Electrical Installations 10 Office equipment 5 Furniture and fixtures 10 Building 60 Vehicles 8 Computers 3 The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. e) Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in an amalgamation in the nature of purchase is their fair value as at the date of amalgamation. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. Intangible assets are amortized on a written down value basis over the estimated useful economic life. The Group uses a rebuttable presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed ten 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 ten years, the Group amortizes the intangible asset over the best estimate of its useful life. Such intangible assets and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash- generating unit level. All other intangible assets are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. CRFS 12TSC India Limited (formerly known as TSC Travel Services Private Limited) CIN: U63040PB2003PLC026209 Notes to the restated consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at least at each financial year end. If the expected useful life of the asset is significantly different from previous estimates, the amortization period is changed accordingly. If there has been a significant change in the expected pattern of economic benefits from the asset, the amortization method is changed to reflect the changed pattern. Such changes are accounted for in accordance with AS 5 Net Profit or Loss for the Period, Prior Period Items and Changes in Accounting Policies. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized. Research and development costs Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is recognized as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate all the following:  The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale  Its intention to complete the asset  Its ability to use or sell the asset  How the asset will generate future economic benefits  The availability of adequate resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset  The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during development. Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of expected future benefit from the related project, i.e., the estimated useful life of ten years. Amortization is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually. A summary of amortization policies applied to the Group’s intangible assets is as below: Assets Useful Life as per Schedule II (years) Computer Software 3 f) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets 'The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) net selling price and its value in use. CRFS 13TSC India Limited (formerly known as TSC Travel Services Private Limited) CIN: U63040PB2003PLC026209 Notes to the restated consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. 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 the 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. The Group bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations which are prepared separately for each of the group’s cash-generating units to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations are generally covering a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life. An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the group estimates the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. g) Borrowing costs Borrowing cost includes interest and amortization of 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. h) Investments 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. CRFS 14TSC India Limited (formerly known as TSC Travel Services Private Limited) CIN: U63040PB2003PLC026209 Notes to the restated consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost comprises 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 restated consolidated 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) Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized: Sale of tickets and commission income Commission income from the sale of airline tickets is recognized on a net basis when the customers book the airline tickets. Contracts with airlines include incentives based on volume of business, which are accounted for as variable consideration when the amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur. Income from financing activity: Interest, finance charges, service charges etc. are recognized as income on accrual basis with reference to the terms of the contractual commitments such as interest subsidy and finance agreements entered into with borrowers, as the case may be, except in case if delinquent assets provided for where income is recognized only when realized. Fees and other charges: Loan origination income, i.e., processing fees and other charges collected upfront are recognized at the inception of the loan. Income from investment: Dividend is accrued when the right to receive is established, i.e., when declared by the investee entity. Interest on securities is accounted for on accrual basis except where the ultimate collection cannot be established with reasonable certainty. CRFS 15TSC India Limited (formerly known as TSC Travel Services Private Limited) CIN: U63040PB2003PLC026209 Notes to the restated consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 Gain/ loss on sale of non-performing assets: Gain/ loss on sale of non-performing assets is recognized in line with the extant RBI guidelines. Other income: All other income is recognized on an accrual basis, where there is no uncertainty in the ultimate realization/ collection. j) Receivables under financing activity Receivables under financing activity represent principal outstanding at the close of the year but net of amount written off. The Group assesses all receivables for their recoverability and accordingly makes provisions for non-performing assets and delinquent assets not yet non- performing assets as considered necessary including by creating provision to an early stage based on past experience, emerging trends and estimates. However, the Group ensures that the said provisions are not lower than the provisions stipulated in the applicable RBI regulations/guidelines. A general provision, as required by RBI regulations/guidelines, is also made by the Group on the standard assets outstanding. k) Loan to borrowers Receivables under financing activity are classified into performing and non-performing assets in terms of minimum classification and provisioning required under Non-Banking Financial Company – Non-Systemically Important Non-Deposit taking Company (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2016 (as amended time to time) (the “Master Directions”) issued by the RBI and updated from time to time. Specific loan loss provisions in respect of non-performing advances are made based on management’s assessment of degree of impairment of the advances after considering the Master Directions on provisioning prescribed by the RBI. l) Leases Where the Group is lessee Finance leases, which effectively transfer to the group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease term at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss. Lease management fees, legal charges and other initial direct costs of lease are capitalized. A leased asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the group will obtain the ownership by the end of the lease term, the capitalized asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. CRFS 16TSC India Limited (formerly known as TSC Travel Services Private Limited) CIN: U63040PB2003PLC026209 Notes to the restated consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 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. m) Retirement and other employee benefits (a) Short term employee benefits All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the services are classified as short-term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, short term compensated absences, annual paid leave etc. and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related services. (b) Post-employment benefits I. Defined contribution plan: A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. The Group makes specified monthly contributions towards Government administered funds. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which the related services are rendered by employees. 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. II. Defined benefit plans: The group operates a defined benefit plans for its employees, viz., gratuity. The cost of providing benefits under this plan 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. Actuarial gains and losses for both defined benefit plans are recognized in full in the period in which they occur in the statement of profit and loss. (c) Other Long-Term Employee Benefits: Other long-term employee benefits comprise benefits that are not due to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. These typically include benefits such as long-term compensated absences, long service awards, jubilee benefits, and similar items. The Group determines the liability for such benefits using the projected unit credit method, based on actuarial valuations carried out at each balance sheet date. The obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date. CRFS 17TSC India Limited (formerly known as TSC Travel Services Private Limited) CIN: U63040PB2003PLC026209 Notes to the restated consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 Actuarial gains and losses in respect of other long-term employee benefits are recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss, in accordance with the requirements of AS 15. These benefits are not funded. n) Income taxes Tax expense comprises 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 and tax laws prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where the group operates. 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 the 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 income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the statement of profit and loss. 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. 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. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. The group writes-down the carrying amount of deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available 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. Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax. The group recognizes MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing evidence that the group will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. CRFS 18TSC India Limited (formerly known as TSC Travel Services Private Limited) CIN: U63040PB2003PLC026209 Notes to the restated consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 In the year in which the group recognizes MAT credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Credit Available in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under the Income- tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as “MAT Credit Entitlement.” The group reviews the “MAT credit entitlement” asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent the Group does not have convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified period. o) Segment reporting Identification of segments The Group’s operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets. The analysis of geographical segments is based on the areas in which major operating divisions of the group operate. Inter-segment transfers The group generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers at cost plus appropriate margins. Allocation of common costs Common allocable costs are allocated to each segment according to the relative contribution of each segment to the total common costs. Unallocated items Unallocated items include general corporate income and expense items which are not allocated to any business segment. Segment accounting policies The group prepares its segment information in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the restated consolidated financial statements of the group as a whole. p) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period 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 period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events of bonus issue. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period 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. CRFS 19TSC India Limited (formerly known as TSC Travel Services Private Limited) CIN: U63040PB2003PLC026209 Notes to the restated consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 q) Provisions 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. r) Cash and Bank Balances: Cash and bank balances comprise cash on hand, balances with banks in current accounts, and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Cash and bank balances are classified as follows:  Cash and Cash Equivalents: Includes cash in hand, balances with banks in current accounts, and deposits with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition, which are held for meeting short-term cash commitments.  Other Bank Balances: Includes balances with banks in deposit accounts with original maturities exceeding three months, earmarked balances (such as unpaid dividend accounts or margin money deposits), and other restricted bank balances not available for immediate use. Cash and bank balances are stated at carrying value, which approximates their fair value. s) Contingent liabilities A contingent liability that is a possible obligation that arises from past event whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future event beyond the control of the Group 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 recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Group does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the restated consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources We operate in a working capital-intensive industry, that is, we require large amounts of funds in the normal course of business to continue providing the services and hence our principal liquidity requirement has been to finance our working capital needs. This is because our receivables and payables are based on holding periods in days of the total Gross Transaction Value (GTV) instead of our revenue from operations. Our normal operating cycle ranges between 4 to 6 days. For more details regarding our operating cycle and working capital requirements, please refer “Objects of the Issue”, Chapter beginning on page 77 of this Red Herring Prospectus. To fund these costs, we have historically relied on raising short term and long-term borrowings, including working capital financing, loans from related parties and others combined with the cash generated from operating activities. Our short-term liquidity requirements relate to servicing our borrowings and financing our working capital requirements. Our long-term liquidity requirements include capital expenditures required to expand and maintain our operations. We expect to meet our working capital requirements for the next 12 months primarily from the cash flows of our business operations, net IPO proceeds and other available financial means.

While the Industrial Policy, 1991 prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign investment can be made in different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which such investment may be made. Under the Industrial Policy, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain prescribed procedures for making such investment. The government bodies responsible for granting foreign investment approvals are the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”) and Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India (“DIPP”). The Government of India, from time to time, has made policy pronouncements on Foreign Direct Investment (“FDI”) through press notes and press releases. The DIPP, has Issued consolidated FDI Policy Circular of 2020 (“FDI Policy 2020”), which with effect from October 15, 2020, consolidates and supersedes all previous press notes, press releases and clarifications on FDI Policy Issued by the DIPP that were in force. The Government proposes to update the consolidated circular on FDI policy from time to time and therefore, FDI Policy 2020 will be valid until the DIPP Issues an updated circular. The RBI Issues Master Directions on Foreign Investment in India and updates the same from time to time. Presently, FDI in India is being governed by Master Directions on Foreign Investment No. RBI/FED/2017- 18/60 FED Master Direction No. 11/2017-18 dated January 4, 2018, as updated from time to time by RBI. In terms of the Master Directions, an Indian company may Issue fresh shares to people resident outside India (who is eligible to make investments in India, for which eligibility criteria are as prescribed). Such fresh Issue of shares shall be subject to inter-alia, the pricing guidelines prescribed under the Master Directions. Under the current applicable FDI Policy of 2020, foreign direct investment in micro and small enterprises is subject to sectoral caps, entry routes and other sectoral regulations. At present our Company is involved in the business of manufacturing. 100% foreign direct investment through automatic route is permitted in the sector in which our Company operates. At present, the FEMA (Transfer or Issue of Security by Persons Resident outside India) Regulations, 2017 has been superseded by FEMA (Non -Debt Instruments) Rules, 2019 dated October 17, 2019 (FEMA Non- Debt Rules). The sectoral cap given in the FEMA Non-Debt Rules shall come into effect from April 01, 2020. As per the extant policy of the Government of India, OCBs cannot participate in this Issue. The RBI has however clarified in its circular, A.P. (DIR Series) Circular No. 44, dated December 8, 2003 that OCBs which are incorporated and are not under the adverse notice of the RBI are permitted to undertake fresh investments as incorporated non-resident entities in terms of Regulation 5(1) of RBI Notification No.20/2000-RB dated May 3, 2000 under FDI Scheme with the prior approval of Government if the investment is through Government Route and with the prior approval of RBI if the investment is through Automatic Route on case by case basis. OCBs may invest in this Issue provided it obtains a prior approval from the RBI. On submission of such approval along with the Application Form, the OCB shall be eligible to be considered for share allocation. An erstwhile OCB may transfer equity instruments subject to the directions Issued by the Reserve Bank of India from time to time in this regard.

FORFEITURE AND SURRENDER OF SHARES 68. If any Member fails to pay the whole or any part of any call or installment or any moneys due in respect of any shares either by way of principal or interest on or before the day appointed for the payment of the same or any such extension thereof, the Directors may, at any time thereafter, during such time as the call or installment or any part thereof or other moneys as aforesaid remains unpaid or a judgment or decree in respect thereof remains unsatisfied in whole or in part, serve a notice on such Member or on the person (if any) entitled to the shares by transmission, requiring him to pay such call or installment of such part thereof or other moneys as remain unpaid together with any interest that may have accrued and all reasonable expenses (legal or otherwise) that may have been accrued by the Company by reason of such non-payment. 69. a) The notice shall name a day (not being less than fourteen days from the date of notice) and a place or places on and at which such call or installment and such interest thereon as the Directors shall determine from the day on which such call or installment ought to have been paid and expenses as aforesaid are to be paid. b) The notice shall also state that, in the event of the non-payment at or before the time and at the place or places appointed, the shares in respect of which the call was made or installment is payable will be liable to be 263 | Pa geArticle Content Number forfeited. 70.

When any shares have been forfeited, notice of the forfeiture shall be given to the member in whose name it stood immediately prior to the forfeiture, and an entry of the forfeiture, with the date thereof shall forthwith be made in the Register of Members but no forfeiture shall be in any manner invalidated by any omission or neglect to give such notice or to make any such entry as aforesaid. Provided that option or right to call of forfeited shares shall not be given to any person. 72. Any shares so forfeited, shall be deemed to be the property of the Company and may be sold, re-allotted, or otherwise disposed of, either to the original holder thereof or to any other person, upon such terms and in such manner as the Board in their absolute discretion shall think fit. 73. Any Member whose shares have been forfeited shall notwithstanding the forfeiture, be liable to pay and shall forthwith pay to the Company, on demand all calls, installments, interest and expenses owing upon or in respect of such shares at the time of the forfeiture, together with interest thereon from the time of the forfeiture until payment, at such rate not exceeding two per cent per annum more than the bank lending rate as the Board may determine and the Board may enforce the payment of the whole or a portion thereof as if it were a new call made at the date of the forfeiture, but shall not be under any obligation to do so. 74.

If the Company refuses to register the transfer of any share or transmission of any right therein, the Company shall within 30 days from the date on which the instrument of transfer or intimation of transmission was lodged with the Company, send notice of refusal to the transferee and transferor or to the person giving intimation of the transmission, as the case may be, and there upon the provisions of Section 56 of the Act or any statutory modification thereof for the time being in force shall apply. 87.

Provided nevertheless that in any case where the Board in its absolute discretion thinks fit, it shall be lawful for the Board to dispense with the production of Probate or letter of Administration or such other legal representation upon such terms as to indemnity or otherwise, as the Board in its absolute discretion, may consider adequate. 91. The Executors or Administrators of a deceased Member or holders of a Succession Certificate or the Legal Representatives in respect of the Shares of a deceased Member (not being one of two or more joint holders) shall be the only persons recognized by the Company as having any title to the Shares registered in the name of such Members, and the Company shall not be bound to recognize such Executors or Administrators or holders of Succession Certificate or the Legal Representative unless such Executors or Administrators or Legal Representative shall have first obtained Probate or Letters of Administration or Succession Certificate, as the case may be from a duly constituted Court in the Union of India provided that in any case where the Board of Directors in its absolute discretion thinks fit, the Board upon such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as the Directors may deem proper dispense with production of Probate or Letters of Administration or Succession Certificate and register Shares standing in the name of a deceased Member, as a Member. However, provisions of this Article are subject to Section 72 of the Act. 92.

This clause is hereinafter referred to as the ‘Transmission Clause’. 93.
