All statements regarding our expected financial condition and results of operations, business, plans and prospects are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our business strategy, our revenue and profitability, our projects and other matters discussed in this Red Herring Prospectus regarding matters that are not historical facts. Investors can generally identify forward-looking statements by the use of terminology such as “will”, “aim”, “is likely to result”, “believe”, “expect”, “will continue”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “contemplate”, “may”, “propose”, “seek to”, “future”, “objective”, “goal”, “project”, “should”, “will pursue” and similar expressions or other words or phrases of similar import. All forward-looking statements (whether made by us or any third party) are predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. Also, statements which describe our strategies, objectives, plans or goals are also forward-looking statements. However, these are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are not a guarantee of future performance. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information. Although we believe the assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions could be incorrect.

7. The growth of our business will depend upon the strength of our “Loanfront” brand, and any failure to maintain, protect and enhance our brand or any negative publicity could limit our ability to retain or expand our customer base, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
8. Systems failures and resulting interruptions in the availability of our platform could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
9. We require substantial capital for our business. Any disruption in our sources of capital or our inability to meet our obligations, including financial and other covenants under our debt financing arrangements could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
10. We depend on the accuracy and completeness of information provided by our borrowers. Any misleading information
provided to us by our borrowers may affect our judgement of their credit worthiness, which could have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows, results of operations, financial condition.
11. We rely on mobile operating systems, website and application marketplaces to make our applications available to customers.
If we do not effectively operate with or receive favourable placements within such application marketplaces, our usage could decline and our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.

Classifications of Risk Factors Risk Internal External Business Industry Issue Related Other Related Related 28INTERNAL RISK FACTORS Risk Relating to the Company’s Business
1. Our business is exposed to interest rate volatility, which may adversely affect our lending and treasury operations, Net Interest Income, Net Interest Margin and results of operations.
Our results of operations substantially depend on the amount of our net interest income as our primary source of revenue. The table below sets forth our finance cost and cost to income percentage for the stub period ended 31.07.2026 and for the Financial Years ended 2026, 2025 and 2024.
(Amount in lakhs, except otherwise mentioned) For the period ended For the year ended March 31 Particulars 31 July 2026 2026 2025 2024 Finance cost 266.64 664.44 508.84 402.21 Cost to income (%)* 14.81% 18.06% 20.31% 15.93% *Cost to income percentage is the percentage of the Finance Cost to total income (net of finance cost as per our Restated Financial Statements for the relevant year).
The Interest rates are inherently sensitive and subject to fluctuations driven by factors beyond our control, including the monetary policy actions of the Reserve Bank of India, regulatory developments in the financial services sector, domestic and global economic and political conditions, inflation, competition, other macroeconomic factors and the demand for credit across our borrower segments. These factors could affect the interest rates charged on interest-earning assets differently than the interest rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.
Any fluctuation in interest rates directly impacts our net interest income and net interest margin and therefore affects our profitability. The interest income generated by us is sensitive to multiple factors including the Reserve Bank of India’s monetary policies, liquidity conditions in the financial markets, inflation, macroeconomic environment, and the demand for credit across our borrower segments.
Variations in market interest rates may affect the interest rates we are able to charge on our interest-earning assets differently from the interest rates applicable to our interest-bearing liabilities. Any increase in borrowing costs without a corresponding adjustment in lending rates may reduce our net interest income and margins. A rising interest rate environment may adversely impact our net interest income if we are unable to proportionately increase the lending rates for our customers or if the growth in our interest- bearing liabilities outpaces the growth in our interest-earning assets.
2. Our success depends on retaining and expanding our customer base. If we are unable to attract new customers or are unable to retain and grow our relationships with our existing customers, our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.
Our success and future growth depend on our ability to continue to attract new customers and to expand our AUM from existing customers. To do this, we must stay abreast of emerging customer preferences and product trends that will appeal to existing and potential customers. If we or our lending partners fail to offer products catering to the evolving needs of our customers, our customers may choose our competitors over us, which in turn may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects. By consistently offering relevant and appealing financial solutions, both directly and through our lending partners, we aim to strengthen customer trust and loyalty. While we have maintained a stable customer base in Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, we remain focused on enhancing our offerings and customer experience to ensure long-term value and sustained business performance. For instance, approximately 80% of our total AUM as of March 31, 2026, comprised repeat customers. If our customers do not find their desired products on our platform at attractive terms, or find their experiences with us dissatisfactory, they may lose trust in us and turn to other channels for their financial needs, which in turn may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
3. A significant portion of our Assets Under Management ("AUM") is concentrated in certain states and regions of India. Any adverse economic, regulatory, political, climatic, social or business developments in such states or regions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our lending operations are spread across multiple states in India; however, a substantial portion of our AUM is concentrated in certain states. Consequently, our business performance is exposed to risks associated with regional economic conditions, changes in local regulations, natural calamities, adverse weather conditions, disruptions in business activities, political developments, changes in borrower behaviour, competitive intensity, and other factors affecting such geographies. The region-wise details of the loan portfolio as at July 31, 2026, March 31, 2026, March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 are provided below:

A decrease in demand for our products can arise from factors beyond our control, such as economic slowdown in India, a rise in unemployment, regulatory hurdles, competition and customer-specific factors. Further, unsecured loans inherently carry a higher risk profile, as the absence of collateral increases the likelihood of non-recovery in the event of borrower default. Consequently, credit losses associated with unsecured loans are typically elevated in comparison to those arising from secured lending activities. Also refer chapter titled “Our Business” on page no. 115 for more information, as our operations involve transactions with borrowers with higher risk of default. Any non-recovery from our customers or our inability to recover the full value could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects. While we have not experienced any slowdown in the demand for unsecured loan products during Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 that has resulted in a material adverse impact on our business or operations, there can be no assurance that such instances will not occur in the future.
4. Our lending operations primarily involve unsecured loans to borrowers with a relatively higher risk profile, and any increase in defaults or our inability to recover outstanding dues may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
We offer unsecured personal loans to salaried individuals and self-employed individuals. Our customers may be economically less stable than large corporates and as a result, we are more vulnerable to customer default risks including delay in repayment of principal or interest on our loans. Although we employ a data-driven approach to assess the creditworthiness of our customers and have our own customized due diligence and credit analysis procedures, there can be no assurance that these measures are adequate to ensure a lower delinquency rate. Further, we may not receive updated information regarding any change in the financial condition of our customers or may receive inaccurate or incomplete information as a result of any misrepresentation by our customers or employees. Our profitability depends on our ability to evaluate the right income levels of our customers, assess the credit risks and to price our loans accordingly. Our customers may default on their obligations as a result of various factors including bankruptcy, insolvency, lack of liquidity and/or failure of the business or commercial venture in relation to which such borrowings were sanctioned. Our AUM for stub period ended 31.07.2026 and Fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024 consisted of unsecured loans which are susceptible to higher levels of credit risks and lower recovery rates as compared to secured loans.
Further, salaried borrowers may experience frequent job changes, employment uncertainty, salary delays or job losses, which could lead to temporary or permanent disruptions in income and higher probability of defaults or irregular repayments. Similarly, self-employed borrowers are exposed to business-specific risks such as market fluctuations, regulatory changes, competition, supply chain disruptions or economic slowdowns that may be beyond their control. Such factors may adversely affect their cash flows and repayment capacity, which may lead to higher probability of defaults and irregular payments. Any sustained increase in defaults arising from these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. To mitigate these risks, we are committed to strengthening our risk management practices, implementing robust credit assessment methods, and closely monitoring portfolio quality to sustain our business, financial health, and operational resilience. However, we hereby confirm that there were no past instances where our business, cash flow, result of operations and financial condition were adversely affected by any such information.

If any of our borrowers take recourse of arbitration or litigation against our repayment claims, it may cause delays in our recovery processes. If our borrowers fail to repay loans in a timely manner or at all, our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects may be adversely impacted. While we have not faced any material adverse impact on our business and operation due to failure in repayment of loans by our customers for the stub period ended 31.07.2026 and for the Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024.
5. Our business operations are highly dependent on the continuous availability, reliability, scalability and security of our mobile application and underlying information technology infrastructure. Any disruption, failure or security breach affecting our technology systems could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
Our mobile application and underlying technology infrastructure are critical to various aspects of our business operations, including customer onboarding, credit assessment, loan disbursement, servicing, collections and data management. Our operations are dependent on the continuous and effective functioning of our mobile application, servers, cloud infrastructure, third-party application programming interfaces ("APIs"), payment gateways and communication networks. Any disruption, degradation, failure or unavailability of these systems, whether arising from software bugs, system overload, power outages, cyber incidents, human error, network failures or force majeure events, may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business, process customer applications, service our customers and generate revenues.
Our operations also involve the collection, storage and processing of significant volumes of sensitive personal, financial and transactional information. Any actual or perceived data breach, cyber-attack, hacking incident, malware, ransomware, phishing attack, unauthorised access or other compromise of our systems may result in loss, misuse or corruption of data, interruption of services, customer attrition, reputational damage, regulatory scrutiny, litigation, financial penalties and increased compliance, remediation and operational costs. As on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, we have not experienced any material incident of such nature; however, there can be no assurance that such incidents will not occur in the future.
Further, our technology infrastructure is dependent, in part, on third-party service providers for hosting, analytics, payment processing and other technology-enabled services. Any failure, interruption or deterioration in the services provided by such third parties may adversely affect our operations. In addition, rapid technological developments, evolving cyber threats and changes in regulatory and customer expectations may require us to continuously upgrade, strengthen and secure our technology infrastructure, which may involve significant capital and operating expenditure.
Although we have implemented policies, internal controls, information security measures and disaster recovery and business continuity mechanisms, there can be no assurance that such measures will be adequate to prevent or mitigate all technology- related risks. Any failure to effectively maintain, upgrade, scale or secure our technology platform or any prolonged disruption to our technology systems could materially and adversely affect our business operations, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
6. Our digital lending operations are significantly dependent on third-party software vendors and service providers for critical functions such as customer onboarding, identity and document verification, credit bureau checks, account aggregation, payments, disbursals, communications and collections. Any disruption, failure, security breach, regulatory non-compliance or unavailability of such services could adversely affect our operations, delay loan 31processing and materially impact our business and financial performance.
Our digital lending platform relies extensively on third-party software vendors and service providers to perform critical functions across the loan lifecycle, including but not limited to identity and document verification (such as PAN validation, Aadhaar linking, voter IDs validation and DigiLocker verification, OCR, facematch and video KYC), employment and income validation (including EPFO pulls), account aggregation, credit bureau soft and hard pulls, CKYC checks, eSign execution, loan disbursals, auto-debit and payment processing (including UPI, BBPS, net banking and payment gateways), location and address validation, and customer communications through SMS and email service providers.
Our dependence on these vendors exposes us to risks arising from service outages, technical failures, cybersecurity incidents, data breaches, errors in data processing, delays in response times, inaccurate outputs, regulatory non-compliance or termination of vendor arrangements. As these services are integral to customer onboarding, credit assessment, disbursement, servicing and collections, any material disruption or degradation in the performance of such vendors could result in delays, increased costs, customer dissatisfaction, loss of business opportunities and regulatory scrutiny.
Further, many of these services are subject to evolving regulatory frameworks and data protection requirements, and any non- compliance by third-party vendors may expose us to legal, financial or reputational risks, notwithstanding that such non- compliance is attributable to the vendor. While we seek to mitigate these risks through vendor selection, contractual safeguards and monitoring mechanisms, there can be no assurance that such measures will be effective. Any prolonged or significant failure of third-party software vendors or service providers could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to identify, develop, acquire or license relevant technologies and to respond to technological advancements and emerging industry standards in a timely and cost-effective manner. The development, enhancement and deployment of our mobile application and proprietary technology involve significant technical, operational and financial risks, including delays, cost overruns and performance issues. There can be no assurance that new technologies or platform enhancements will be effectively implemented, meet customer requirements or generate expected returns. Further, any delay in launching new or improved features, or failure of such offerings to perform as expected, may result in loss of customers to competitors.
7. Our customer onboarding and end-to-end lending operations are substantially dependent on the recognition and continued use of the “LoanFront” trademark. Any loss, infringement, dilution, adverse publicity or inability to protect or use the “LoanFront” brand could impair customer trust, disrupt our operations and materially and adversely affect our business and financial performance.
Our customer acquisition, onboarding and end-to-end digital lending operations are substantially dependent on the recognition, credibility and continued use of the trademark, which serves as the primary interface between us and our customers. Our ability to attract, retain and service customers is closely linked to the strength and reputation of the “LoanFront” trademark. Any loss of ownership, inability to use, renew or adequately protect the “LoanFront” trademark, or any infringement, dilution, impersonation or misuse by third parties, could adversely affect brand value, customer confidence and business continuity.
Further, any adverse publicity, customer dissatisfaction, regulatory action, data security incident or service disruption associated with the “LoanFront” trademark whether attributable to us or third parties, could significantly impair our reputation and result in reduced customer onboarding, higher attrition and lower transaction volumes. While we take measures to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, there can be no assurance that such measures will be effective. Any material damage to or loss of the “LoanFront” trademark could disrupt our operations and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
8. The restated financial statements have been provided by peer reviewed chartered accountants who is not statutory auditor of our company.
The restated financial statements of our Company for the stub period ended 31.07.2026 and for the financial years ended March 31, 2026, March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 have been furnished by a peer-reviewed chartered accountant who is not the statutory auditor of our Company. While our statutory auditor possesses a valid peer reviewed certificate, due to their existing commitments, the task of providing the restated financial statements was entrusted to the aforementioned peer-reviewed chartered accountant.
9. We have witnessed negative operating cash flows in the past.
Our company have witnessed negative operating cash flows in the past. Set out below are details of such negative operating cash
flows for the years indicated: (Amount in lakhs, except otherwise mentioned) Particulars For the year/period ended 3231 July 2026 31 March 2026 31 March 2025 31 March 2024 Operating Cash Flow 208.53 (1,843.74) 30.52 (434.15) Any failure to increase our revenues sufficiently to keep pace with our investments and other expenses could prevent us from achieving or maintaining a positive cash flow in the future. If we continue to experience negative cash flows in the future, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
10. Our inability to maintain our capital adequacy ratio could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
The RBI Master Directions require non-banking financial companies (“NBFCs”) to comply with a capital to risk-weighted assets ratio, or capital risk adequacy ratio (“CRAR”), comprising Tier I and Tier II capital. Under these requirements, the aggregate of Tier I and Tier II capital is required to be not less than 15% of the NBFC’s risk-weighted on-balance sheet assets and the risk- adjusted value of off-balance sheet items, as applicable. Further, Tier I capital is required to be not less than 10% at all times.
Accordingly, the Company’s CRAR did not fall below the levels prescribed by the RBI during stub period ended 31.07.2026 and Fiscals period ended 2026, 2025 and 2024, there can be no assurance that it will continue to remain compliant with the applicable regulatory requirements in the future. Further, the RBI’s assessment of the Company’s CRAR may differ from the Company’s own assessment.
As our loan portfolio and asset base continue to grow, we may be required to raise additional Tier I and Tier II capital and/or any changes in the regulatory framework applicable to NBFCs, including changes in provisioning norms for non-performing assets, capital adequacy requirements or differences in interpretation or implementation of such regulations, may adversely affect the Company’s profitability, capital position and future financial performance by requiring restructuring of operations or increased compliance costs. For further details, refer “Key Regulations and Policies In India” on page 137. Set out below are details of
our CRAR and other key metrics as of the dates indicated: (Amount in lakhs, except otherwise mentioned) For the period/year ended on Particulars 31 July 2026 31 March 2026 31 March 2025 31 March 2024 CRAR (%) 43.80% 28.46% 39.88% 40.18% Tier I Capital (%) 38.99% 23.60% 34.64% 36.11% Tier II Capital (%) 4.81% 4.86% 5.25% 4.07%
Note:
1) CRAR (%) has been computed based on the Restated Financial Statements.
2) Capital to risk weighted assets ratio is computed by dividing our tier I and tier II capital by risk weighted assets (computed in accordance with the relevant RBI guidelines) as on the last day of the relevant period.
Additionally, the RBI may introduce or require compliance with new or revised prudential norms, regulatory standards or supervisory guidelines applicable to NBFCs. Compliance with such requirements may require us to modify our business strategy, operational processes, risk management or accounting practices, or incur additional costs. Any such regulatory changes or increased compliance burden could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
11. Inadequate payment of stamp duty on a previously executed Business Transfer Agreement with our holding company.
In the past, our Company entered into a Business Transfer Agreement (“BTA”) with our holding company, Capfront Technologies Private Limited, pursuant to which certain business and assets were transferred by holding company to our Company by way of slump sale. However, appropriate stamp duty on such assets transfer under the applicable stamp laws was not paid at the time of its execution.
Under the applicable stamp duty laws, an instrument that is not duly stamped may be subject to adjudication and/or impounding by the relevant authorities, and the parties thereto may be required to pay the deficit stamp duty along with applicable interest and penalty. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the relevant authorities will not initiate proceedings in relation to the aforesaid BTA or require payment of any deficit stamp duty, interest, penalty or other charges.
In order to mitigate potential exposure arising from the aforesaid matter, we have obtained an indemnity bond from our holding company, which has been executed by the directors of the holding company, pursuant to which the holding company has agreed to indemnify and keep indemnified our Company against any deficit stamp duty, losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest, costs or expenses that may arise in connection with any penalty or interest imposed in relation to such BTA.
As of the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, no proceedings or notices have been initiated against our Company in this regard.
However, we cannot assure you that no action will be initiated by the relevant authorities in the future. Any requirement to pay additional stamp duty, interest or penalty, or any adverse regulatory action in this regard, may adversely affect our financial 33condition, cash flows, results of operations and reputation.
12. There have been certain procedural delays in relation to compliances associated with the Non-Convertible Debentures issued by our Company, and any continued non-compliance may subject our Company to regulatory observations and may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and reputation.
Our Company had issued Non-Convertible Debentures (“NCDs”) in the past and, in connection therewith, had appointed a Debenture Trustee and created security by way of hypothecation over certain assets of the Company in favour of the Debenture Trustee in accordance with the agreed terms of issue. The Company has filed various Forms CHG-9 for creation of charges but same were rejected by the Registrar of Companies. Subsequently, in July 2026, the Company executed deeds of hypothecation in respect of all the NCDs issued earlier and filed the requisite Forms CHG-9 with the Registrar of Companies for registration of the charges. As on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, the said Forms CHG-9 are pending for approval with the Registrar of Companies. Further, at the time of issuance of such NCDs, the Company had not obtained an ISIN prior to issuance of the securities and consequently, the NCDs were not issued in dematerialised form as required under the Companies Act, 2013 These instances may be considered as non-compliances of regulatory provisions and may lead to observations, penalties, or directions from the relevant authorities. Further, non-registration of charge may impact the formal perfection of security created in favour of the debenture trustee. In the event of any adverse regulatory action or any dispute arising in connection with the aforesaid matters, it may have an adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition, reputation and ability to undertake future financing activities.
13. Any acquisition of 26% or more of our paid-up equity share capital requires prior approval of the Reserve Bank of India.
Our Company is a non-banking financial company, we are regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”). In terms of the applicable provisions of the RBI's Master Direction on NBFC Scale Based Regulation (SBR), dated October 19, as amended from time to time, any acquisition or transfer of 26% or more of our paid-up equity share capital, or any change in control of our Company, requires prior written approval of the RBI.
Accordingly, any allotment or transfer of Equity Shares pursuant to the Offer or otherwise shall be undertaken in compliance with the aforesaid regulatory requirements. In the event that any proposed allotment or acquisition of Equity Shares results in any person, holding 26% or more of our paid-up equity share capital, such acquisition shall be subject to prior approval of the RBI.
Alternatively, the allotment of Equity Shares may be structured in a manner such that it does not result in any person acquiring 26% or more of our paid-up equity share capital without obtaining such prior approval.
Any failure to obtain the requisite approval from the RBI, where applicable, or any non-compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements may result in regulatory action and may adversely affect such allotment or transfer of Equity Shares, as well as our business, financial condition and results of operations.
14. Any inappropriate conduct or misconduct by our employees, collection personnel or recovery agents may expose us to legal and regulatory action, reputational harm and other liabilities, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Our business involves the recovery and collection of overdue amounts from borrowers through a combination of our internal collection personnel and personnel deployed by service providers engaged by us from time to time to provide collection support services. Such recovery and collection activities are governed by our Collection Policy, standard operating procedures, contractual arrangements, monitoring mechanisms and internal code of conduct, and are required to be undertaken in accordance with applicable laws and regulatory requirements, including those prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India ("RBI"). However, we cannot assure you that all employees, collection personnel or personnel deployed by such service providers will at all times comply with such requirements.
Any inappropriate, unlawful, unethical or aggressive conduct, or any failure by our employees, collection personnel or recovery agents to comply with applicable laws, regulatory requirements or our internal policies while interacting with borrowers, may result in customer complaints, litigation, regulatory investigations, penalties, adverse orders or increased regulatory scrutiny.
Such incidents may also attract adverse publicity, including through print, electronic or social media, adversely affect our reputation and brand image, reduce customer confidence and impair our ability to attract and retain customers, business partners and lenders.
Although we continuously monitor the activities of our collection personnel and recovery agents and require them to comply with applicable legal and contractual obligations, there can be no assurance that instances of misconduct, non-compliance or unauthorized actions will not occur in the future. As on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, there have been no material litigations or regulatory proceedings against our Company arising from the conduct of our employees, collection personnel or recovery agents. However, any such incidents or claims, whether or not ultimately determined to have merit, may require significant management attention, result in legal, regulatory and compliance costs, expose us to liabilities, and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
3415. We do not maintain certain insurance policies in our own name, and any uninsured loss may adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
The Company operates its offices from leased premises and, accordingly, does not maintain separate insurance policies in its own name covering the buildings or related infrastructure. The responsibility for obtaining insurance in respect of such premises primarily rests with the respective lessors, in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease arrangements.
However, there can be no assurance that the insurance coverage maintained by the Company, or by the respective lessors in relation to the leased premises, will be adequate to cover all losses or liabilities arising from unforeseen events, including damage to property, business interruption, cyber security incidents, employee-related claims or other operational risks.
Any material loss or liability that is not covered, or is only partially covered, by insurance may require the Company to incur additional expenditure, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, there can be no assurance that insurance coverage for all potential risks will continue to be available on commercially acceptable terms or at all. Although the Company may review and revise its insurance coverage from time to time based on its operational requirements, such coverage may not be sufficient to protect it against all losses that may arise during its business operations.
16. A significant portion of our Assets Under Management ("AUM") comprises loans extended to self-employed borrowers. Any adverse developments affecting such borrowers or changes in the composition of our loan portfolio may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
As of July 31, 2026, loans extended to self-employed borrowers constituted approximately 46.21% of our total AUM, compared to 44.36% as of March 31, 2026, 37.84% as of March 31, 2025 and 33.74% as of March 31, 2024. Accordingly, our loan portfolio comprises exposures to both salaried and self-employed borrowers, each of which is subject to different credit characteristics, repayment behavior and business risks.
Self-employed borrowers are generally more susceptible to fluctuations in business performance, seasonal demand, changes in market conditions, competitive pressures, regulatory developments and other macroeconomic factors, which may affect their repayment capacity. Any deterioration in the financial condition of such borrowers may result in higher delinquencies, increased non-performing assets, higher provisioning requirements and credit losses.
Further, any significant shift in the composition of our loan portfolio between salaried and self-employed borrowers, or our inability to effectively assess, underwrite, monitor and recover loans from these customer segments, may adversely impact the quality of our loan book, yields, profitability and capital adequacy.
Although we employ technology-driven credit assessment models, proprietary underwriting algorithms, risk management systems and collection mechanisms through our digital lending platform to evaluate borrowers and manage credit risk, there can be no assurance that such measures will be effective in all circumstances. Any material adverse developments affecting either customer segment, particularly self-employed borrowers, may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
17. Our business may be adversely affected by the actions or conduct of our recovery agents, which could expose us to customer complaints, litigation, regulatory action and reputational risk.
As part of our lending operations, the recovery and collection of overdue loans are undertaken through our inhouse recovery personnel as well as by the recovery personnel of our Holding Company pursuant to an agreement entered between our Company and the Holding Company for the collection and recovery of overdue loans in accordance with applicable laws and the guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India from time to time. Although such recovery personnel are required to comply with applicable laws, regulatory requirements, our internal policies and the Company's code of conduct, we may not be able to monitor or control every action undertaken by them while interacting with our customers.
Any inappropriate, unauthorized, unethical or non-compliant conduct by such recovery personnel, including harassment, coercive recovery practices, misrepresentation or violation of applicable regulatory requirements, may result in customer complaints, litigation, regulatory scrutiny, penalties, adverse publicity or reputational harm. Such events could adversely affect customer confidence, our brand value, business operations and financial performance and may also require us to incur additional costs towards legal proceedings, compliance monitoring and corrective measures.
As on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, no material litigation, regulatory action, show cause notice or penalty has been initiated against the Company in relation to the conduct of its recovery personnel. However, we cannot assure you that such events will not arise in the future. Any such occurrence may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.
18. Our end-to-end customer onboarding, credit assessment and loan disbursement process is substantially dependent on our proprietary digital lending platform, "LoanFront". Any disruption, malfunction or failure of the platform or its integrated technology infrastructure could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
35Our customer onboarding, loan application processing, credit assessment, Know Your Customer ("KYC") verification, underwriting, loan approval, execution of loan documentation and loan disbursement processes are substantially conducted digitally through our proprietary lending platform, "LoanFront", using automated workflows, predefined underwriting parameters and integrations with various third-party service providers. While the majority of the customer onboarding and lending process is automated, certain applications may require manual intervention for exception-based or risk-based reviews, including verification of customer-uploaded documents, resolution of Optical Character Recognition ("OCR") exceptions, reconciliation of discrepancies in customer information, fraud review, income validation and other cases identified under our risk management framework. The final credit decision is undertaken in accordance proprietary underwriting framework.
Accordingly, our business is dependent on the continuous availability, reliability, security and performance of the LoanFront platform and the technology infrastructure supporting our automated and manual processes. Any system failure, software defect, cyber-attack, data breach, network disruption, failure of third-party integrations or other technology-related incident may affect our ability to onboard customers, process loan applications, undertake credit assessment or disburse loans within the expected timelines. Any such disruption may result in operational delays, customer complaints, financial losses, increased operating costs, regulatory scrutiny or reputational damage.
Further, any deficiencies in the automated underwriting models, credit decisioning algorithms or system configurations may affect the accuracy of credit assessments, resulting in inappropriate lending decisions, increased credit losses or higher levels of delinquencies and non-performing assets. In addition, any failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements governing digital lending, data privacy, cybersecurity or customer protection may expose us to regulatory actions, penalties or restrictions on our operations.
Although we have implemented information technology controls, cybersecurity measures, periodic system monitoring and business continuity mechanisms to mitigate such risks, there can be no assurance that these measures will be adequate to prevent or mitigate all technology-related disruptions. Any such event could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects
19. Any failure or significant weakness in our internal processes or systems could result in operational errors or incidents of fraud, which may adversely affect our business, profitability and reputation.
Our business is dependent on the effectiveness of our internal processes, systems and controls for carrying out our operations, including loan origination, processing, collection, recovery, accounting, financial reporting, information management and other operational activities. Any failure, inadequacy or significant weakness in our internal processes, systems or controls may result in operational errors, delays, inaccurate or incomplete information, financial losses or incidents of fraud or misuse of assets.
Further, any failure to identify or rectify such weaknesses in a timely manner may adversely affect our ability to conduct our operations efficiently and maintain the quality of our services.
Our internal processes and systems may also be subject to risks arising from human error, employee misconduct, unauthorized access, system failures or other unforeseen events. Any such incident could result in financial losses, disruption of our operations, regulatory or legal consequences and damage to our reputation. Any of these events could adversely affect our business, profitability, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. However, company did not face such instance in the past.
20. Our business is dependent on digital distribution platforms, including mobile application marketplaces, and any disruption or adverse changes in the policies of such platforms may adversely affect our customer acquisition and business operations.
Our digital lending operations are dependent on digital distribution platforms, including mobile application marketplaces such as Google Play Store, through which customers access our mobile application and avail our lending services. These platforms serve as important channels for customer acquisition, customer engagement and distribution of our digital lending offerings.
The operators of such digital distribution platforms may modify their policies, terms of use, approval processes, technical requirements, ranking mechanisms or other operating conditions from time to time. Any adverse changes in such policies, restrictions imposed on our mobile application, delays in approval of application updates, suspension, removal or delisting of our application from such platforms, or any disruption in the availability of such platforms may adversely affect our ability to acquire customers and provide uninterrupted access to our lending services.
Further, there can be no assurance that we will continue to maintain favorable arrangements with such digital distribution platforms or that such platforms will continue to provide access to our application on commercially acceptable terms. Any adverse action or restriction by such platforms may result in reduced customer onboarding, lower loan origination volumes and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
While we undertake measures to ensure compliance with the applicable policies and requirements of such digital distribution platforms, there can be no assurance that our application will remain available on such platforms or that we will be able to mitigate the impact of any changes in their policies or operating requirements.
Any prolonged disruption, restriction or loss of access to such digital distribution platforms may adversely affect our customer acquisition, business operations, financial condition and results of operations.
3621. Our Company is exposed to risks associated with its loan assignment and co-lending arrangements with banks and other financial institutions, including changes in applicable regulations and reduced demand for such transactions.
Our ability to enter into, maintain and expand co-lending and loan assignment arrangements with banks, NBFCs and other financial institutions may be affected by various factors, including the availability and risk appetite of counterparties, the performance of our loan portfolio, prevailing market conditions and changes in applicable regulatory requirements. Any adverse development in relation to such arrangements could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
We may enter into co-lending arrangements and, where applicable, undertake assignment of loans with banks, NBFCs and other financial institutions in accordance with the applicable regulatory framework and the terms agreed with the respective counterparties. Our ability to establish, maintain or expand such arrangements is dependent, among other factors, on the availability of suitable counterparties, their credit and risk appetite, their assessment of our loan portfolio and underwriting practices, the performance and quality of our underlying loan portfolio and the commercial terms of such arrangements.
Any reduction in the ability of banks, NBFCs or other financial institutions to participate in co-lending or loan assignment transactions, discontinuation or non-renewal of existing arrangements, deterioration in the performance of our loan portfolio, or our inability to enter into new arrangements on commercially acceptable terms may adversely affect our ability to originate and fund loans. This may, in turn, affect the growth of our loan portfolio, our funding availability and our overall business operations.
Further, co-lending and loan assignment transactions are subject to applicable regulatory requirements, including requirements relating to risk sharing, servicing, pricing, capital adequacy, customer protection and other operational aspects. Any change in the regulatory framework, regulatory interpretation or applicable requirements governing such transactions may require us to modify our existing arrangements, processes, systems or business practices and may increase our compliance and operating costs.
Such changes may also affect the commercial viability, structure or demand for such arrangements.
In addition, our counterparties may alter their lending strategies or risk appetite or reduce their participation in such arrangements due to changes in economic conditions, regulatory requirements, internal credit policies or the performance of the loan portfolios.
We may therefore be unable to secure adequate counterparties or funding through such arrangements on terms acceptable to us.
Although we monitor the performance of our loan portfolio and our relationships with counterparties and seek to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our existing arrangements or enter in new co-lending or loan assignment arrangements on commercially favourable terms. Any material reduction in the availability or demand for such arrangements, adverse regulatory developments or inability to maintain adequate counterparty relationships could materially and adversely affect our loan origination and funding capabilities and, consequently, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospect.
22. Our digital lending operations are significantly dependent on third-party software vendors and service providers for critical functions such as customer onboarding, identity and document verification, credit bureau checks, account aggregation, payments, disbursals, communications and collections. Any disruption, failure, security breach, regulatory non-compliance or unavailability of such services could adversely affect our operations, delay loan processing and materially impact our business and financial performance.” Our digital lending platform relies extensively on third-party software vendors and service providers to perform critical functions across the loan lifecycle, including but not limited to identity and document verification (such as PAN validation, Aadhaar linking, voter ID validation and DigiLocker verification, OCR, facematch and video KYC), employment and income validation (including EPFO pulls), account aggregation, credit bureau soft and hard pulls, CKYC checks, eSign execution, loan disbursals, auto-debit and payment processing (including UPI, BBPS, net banking and payment gateways), location and address validation, and customer communications through SMS and email service providers.
Our dependence on these vendors exposes us to risks arising from service outages, technical failures, cybersecurity incidents, data breaches, errors in data processing, delays in response times, inaccurate outputs, regulatory non-compliance or termination of vendor arrangements. As these services are integral to customer onboarding, credit assessment, disbursement, servicing and collections, any material disruption or degradation in the performance of such vendors could result in delays, increased costs, customer dissatisfaction, loss of business opportunities and regulatory scrutiny.
Further, many of these services are subject to evolving regulatory frameworks and data protection requirements, and any non- compliance by third-party vendors may expose us to legal, financial or reputational risks, notwithstanding that such non- compliance is attributable to the vendor. While we seek to mitigate these risks through vendor selection, contractual safeguards and monitoring mechanisms, there can be no assurance that such measures will be effective. Any prolonged or significant failure of third-party software vendors or service providers could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our ability to onboard customers, process loans and service existing customers, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
37Our success depends, in part, on our ability to identify, develop, acquire or license relevant technologies and to respond to technological advancements and emerging industry standards in a timely and cost-effective manner. The development, enhancement and deployment of our mobile application and proprietary technology involve significant technical, operational and financial risks, including delays, cost overruns and performance issues. There can be no assurance that new technologies or platform enhancements will be effectively implemented, meet customer requirements or generate expected returns. Further, any delay in launching new or improved features, or failure of such offerings to perform as expected, may result in loss of customers to competitors.
23. Our acquisition of loan portfolios from other NBFCs, HFCs or other eligible entities may expose us to credit and asset quality risks, including higher-than-anticipated delinquencies and defaults, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.” We have undertaken a one-time acquisition of a loan portfolio from a Regulated Entity in connection with the transition and closure of a Lending Service Provider/Business Correspondent arrangement pursuant to which we were acting as an Originating Business Correspondent. Such acquisition was undertaken as a one-time operational arrangement in connection with the closure of the aforesaid relationship and does not form part of our regular business strategy.
The customers forming part of the acquired portfolio were informed of the transfer of their loans, and there was no material change in the servicing or repayment mechanism. The customers continued to use the same application and repayment channels, with the collections being received in our account following the acquisition.
Although the aforesaid transaction was limited in nature, any deterioration in the repayment behaviour of the underlying borrowers, increase in delinquencies or defaults, or lower-than-anticipated recoveries in respect of the acquired portfolio could result in additional provisions, write-offs or credit losses and may adversely affect our asset quality, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
While we do not currently intend to acquire loan portfolios as part of our regular business strategy, if we undertake any such acquisition in the future, the performance of such acquired portfolios may be affected by factors including the credit quality and repayment behaviour of the underlying borrowers and the adequacy of information and records available at the time of acquisition.
Any adverse performance of such portfolios could similarly adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
24. The bankruptcy code in India may affect our right to recover loans from our customers.
The IBC offers a uniform and comprehensive insolvency legislation encompassing all companies. However, the IBC has not yet been notified for individuals and partnership firms (unless such partnership firms are guarantors for companies). It allows creditors to assess the viability of a debtor as a business decision and agree upon a plan for its revival or a speedy liquidation.
The IBC creates a new institutional framework, consisting of a regulator, insolvency professionals, information utilities and adjudicatory mechanisms, which facilitates a formal and time-bound insolvency resolution and liquidation process.
If insolvency proceedings are initiated against any of our debtors, we may not have complete control over the recovery of amounts due to us. Under the IBC, upon invocation of an insolvency resolution process, a committee of creditors is constituted by the interim resolution professional, wherein each financial creditor is given a voting share proportionate to the debts owed to it. Any decision of the committee of creditors must be taken by a vote of not less than 51.0% of the voting share of all financial creditors, unless otherwise specified in the IBC. Any resolution plan approved by committee of creditors is binding upon all creditors, even if they vote against it. For further details, see “Key Regulations and Policies” on page 120. In addition, if the corporate insolvency resolution process is initiated and admitted before the NCLT under the IBC, against any of the corporate debtors of our Company, then it may affect our ability to recover amounts due under the loans made available to the said customers, during the moratorium period as part of the resolution proceedings under the IBC.
If the liquidation process is opted for, the IBC provides for a fixed order of priority in which proceeds from the sale of the debtor’s assets are to be distributed. Before sale proceeds are distributed to a secured creditor, they are to be distributed for the costs of the insolvency resolution and liquidation processes and debts owed to workmen and other employees. Pursuant to an amendment to the IBC, allottees in a real estate project are considered at par with financial creditors. Moreover, other secured creditors may decide to opt out of the process, in which case they are permitted to realise their security interests in priority. Accordingly, if provisions of IBC are invoked against any of our customers, it may affect our ability to recover our loans from the customers and enforcement of our rights will be subject to the IBC.
25. Our digital lending operations rely on the continued permission granted by our holding company, Capfront Technologies Private Limited, to use a domain name registered in its name for our business purposes. Any revocation, non-renewal, dispute, change in control or failure to maintain or transfer such domain rights could disrupt our digital platform, affect customer engagement and materially and adversely impact our business, operations and financial performance.
38Our digital lending operations and customer engagement are substantially dependent on the continued use of a domain name that is legally registered in the name of our holding company namely Capfront Technologies Private Limited, and made available to us pursuant to a “No Objection Certificate” issued by the holding company dated 25.11.2025. While our holding company has granted us full and unrestricted rights to use the domain for our intended business purposes and has undertaken to maintain and secure the domain registration, the ownership of the domain does not vest with us.
Accordingly, any termination, modification, non-renewal or revocation of such permission, failure by the holding company to maintain or renew the domain registration, transfer of ownership, change in control, insolvency or dispute involving the holding company, or any third-party claims relating to the domain, could result in loss of access to the domain or restrictions on its use.
Such events could disrupt our digital platform, impair customer onboarding and brand recognition, require migration to an alternative domain at significant cost and risk of customer attrition, and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
26. We depend on the accuracy and completeness of information provided by our borrowers. Any misleading information provided to us by our borrowers may affect our judgement of their credit worthiness, which could have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows, results of operations, financial condition.
Our ability to assess creditworthiness relies heavily on the accuracy and completeness of information provided by our borrowers.
This information forms the basis of our credit decisions, helping us to evaluate each borrower's financial position, stability and repayment capacity. If borrowers provide misleading or incomplete information-whether intentionally or due to limited financial literacy it can compromise our judgment and lead to inaccurate risk assessments. Such misjudgements may increase the likelihood of defaults, adversely affecting our cash flows, financial condition, and overall business performance.
To mitigate this risk, we have implemented various rigorous verification processes and continue to enhance our due diligence practices to ensure that we maintain the integrity of our lending portfolio.
In our credit assessment process, we rely significantly on information provided by borrowers to evaluate essential factors such as educational background, projected income, and repayment capacity. These elements play a critical role in determining each applicant’s creditworthiness and ability to meet future repayment obligations. To ensure the integrity and reliability of this process, we strictly adhere to the Know Your Customer (KYC) guidelines prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). By following these standards, we aim to verify borrower identities and financial backgrounds comprehensively, minimizing risk and enhancing the accuracy of our credit assessments. This approach helps us build a responsible lending portfolio that aligns with regulatory standards while addressing the unique needs of our customers.
27. We require substantial capital for our business. Any disruption in our sources of capital or our inability to meet our obligations, including financial and other covenants under our debt financing arrangements could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
Our business and results of operations depend on our ability to raise funds via both debt and equity from various external sources on suitable terms and in a timely manner. Our financing requirements historically have been met from several sources, including term loans and working capital facilities; proceeds from loans securitized and proceeds from the issuance of NCDs to meet our capital requirements. Our ability to raise funds on acceptable terms and in a timely manner, depends on various factors including our current and future results of operations, risk management policies, brand equity, the regulatory environment and policy initiatives in India and developments in the domestic markets and international markets affecting the Indian economy. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and repay our outstanding borrowings will depend primarily on the cash generated by our business, which depends on the timely repayment by our customers. For details in relation to our outstanding indebtedness and certain indicative terms of our borrowing facilities, refer “Statement of Financial Indebtedness” on page 177 Set out below are details of our indebtedness, as of and for the years indicated:
(Amount in lakhs, except otherwise mentioned) For period For the year ended 31 March ended July 31 2026 2025 2024 Particulars 2026 Total Borrowings (A) 3,790.11 4,679.52 2,265.83 2,676.10 Total Equity (B) 4,719.55 2,918.81 2,721.70 2,573.72 Debt to Equity Ratio (C-A/B) (in times) 0.80 1.60 0.83 1.04
Note:
(a) Total borrowings represent the aggregate of debt securities and borrowings (other than debt securities) as of the last day of the relevant period.
Our ability to pay interest and repay the principal for our indebtedness is dependent upon our ability to manage our business operations and generate sufficient cash flows to service such debt. Any additional indebtedness we incur may have significant consequences, including, without limitation requiring us to use a significant portion of our cash flow from operations and other available cash to service our indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds available for other purposes, including capital expenditures, acquisitions, and strategic investments.
39These financing arrangements include conditions that require us to obtain respective lenders’ consent prior to carrying out certain activities and entering into certain transactions. Failure to meet these conditions or obtain these consents could have significant consequences on our business and operations. Certain of the corporate actions which may require prior consents from certain lenders include, declaration of dividends, changes in the shareholding or capital structure of our Company, changes in the auditors, changes in composition or the management of our Company, appointment or removal of key managerial personnel, making any amendments in our Company’s MoA and AoA. While we have not faced any instances of difficulties to obtain further financing or breach of covenants of our financing agreements that led to any adverse effect on our business or operations in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 and we have obtained necessary consents from our lenders for the Offer, there can be no assurance that these instances will not occur in the future. A failure to observe the covenants under our financing arrangements or to obtain necessary waivers may also lead to penalty and/or the termination of our credit facilities and acceleration of amounts due under such facilities.
28. We may face asset-liability mismatches, which could adversely affect our liquidity and consequently affect our profitability, business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
We may face asset-liability mismatches if the maturity profile of our assets does not correspond with the maturity profile of our liabilities. Our assets primarily comprise loans and advances, which are generally short-term in nature, while our funding requirements are met through inter-corporate deposits (“ICDs”) and term loans from NBFCs. Our liabilities may have short to medium-term maturities. Accordingly, any mismatch between the timing of cash inflows from our assets and the repayment obligations in respect of our liabilities may require us to arrange additional funding or refinance our existing borrowings to meet our repayment obligations.
Our ability to manage such asset-liability mismatches depends, among other factors, on our ability to maintain adequate liquidity, generate timely collections from our borrowers, access funding from various sources and renew or refinance our existing borrowings on a timely basis and on acceptable terms. Any inability to obtain additional funding or refinance our liabilities, or any delay or deterioration in collections from our borrowers, may adversely affect our liquidity position and our ability to meet our repayment obligations. Further, any increase in the cost or reduced availability of funding may adversely affect our profitability. Any such circumstances could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows, profitability and financial condition.
The following table sets forth the maturity profile of our assets and liabilities and the resulting asset-liability mismatches as at July 31, 2026: (Amount in INR Lakhs) Maturity Period Assets Liabilities Cumulative Mismatch Less than one Month 3,580.60 1,310.84 2,269.76 Over a month up to two months 1,528.93 794.75 734.18 Over two months up to three months 1,310.01 455.05 854.96 Over two months up to six months 1,756.31 884.47 871.84 Over six months up to twelve months 630.36 628.13 2.23 Over one years to three years 82.14 245.09 (162.95) Over one years to three years 746.16 598.00 148.16
29. We have entered into lending arrangements with certain third-party NBFCs for a certain portion of our total AUM which was attributable to our off-book loans. Any premature termination of such lending arrangements may adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
Our Loan book also includes off-book loans, which are facilitated in partnership with various financial institutions. A significant portion of our total AUM is attributable to our off-book loans. Set out below is a breakdown of our AUM based on our on-book and off-book lending, as of the dates indicated:
(Amount in lakhs, except otherwise mentioned) For the period ending For the year ended 31 March July 31, 2026 2026 2025 2024 % to % to Total % to Total % to Total Particulars AUM Total AUM AUM AUM On-book loans 6,822.76 83.98% 6,174.42 87.36% 3,414.17 71.95% 3,608.03 85.17% Off-book loans 1,301.29 16.02% 893.35 12.64% 1,330.92 28.05% 628.48 14.83% Total 8,124.05 100.00% 7,067.77 100.00% 4,745.09 100.00% 4,236.51 100.00% The operations of our off-book loans are significantly dependent on our continuing relationship with such financial institutions and any premature termination or non-renewal of our arrangements or revisions in the terms of our arrangements by any of these financial institutions may expose us to the risks of disruption in our operations, loss of revenue and related customer dissatisfaction. Any of these occurrences could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
Further, we have entered into long-term lending arrangements with such financial institutions pursuant to which these financial institutions have the right to terminate or cancel such agreements with prior written notice. Although we continue to seek to 40diversify our partners, there is no guarantee that the concentration of revenue from such lending partners will increase or decrease in the future. Further, upon expiry of the stipulated term of our agreements, our lending partners may decide to change the terms of our arrangements or not renew our arrangements at all in the future. Which may lead to earn lesser spreads on our off-book loans, which may adversely impact our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects. The non- exclusive nature of our agreements also entitles our partners to engage with our competitors, which could be prejudicial to our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we are required to find alternative lending partners, we may incur additional expenses or may be unsuccessful in finding such alternative partners at all.
30. We may not be able to identify, monitor and manage risks or effectively implement our risk management policies, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
The effectiveness of our risk management is affected by the quality and timeliness of risk management policy and procedures and available data. We intend to continue doing so in the future. Our policies include Onboarding, Underwriting and Credit Policy, KYC and AML Policy, Provisioning and Write-off and Settlement Policy, Business Continuity Policy, Collection Policy, Fair Practices Code, Grievance Redressal Policy, Information Security Policy, Interest Rate Policy, Loan Agreement Terms & Conditions, Loan Closure Policy, Ombudsman Policy, Privacy Policy, Reference Contract Policy, Refund Policy, Schedule of Charges, Schedule of Charges, Vulnerability Disclosure Policy and Resources planning policy.
We also depend on our information technology systems to assist us with our risk management functions including carrying out periodic IT audits. Our Board and various committees of our Board, including the Risk Management Committee, review our internal policies and procedures, including our risk management policies from time to time.
However, our policies and procedures to identify, monitor and manage risks may not be fully effective. Some of our risk management processes may not be automated and subject to human error. Some of our methods of managing risks are based on the use of observed historical market behaviour and may not accurately predict future risk exposures, which could be significantly greater than those indicated by the historical measures. In addition, as we seek to expand the scope of our operations, we also face the risk of inability to develop commensurate risk management policies and procedures. Other risk management methods depend upon an evaluation of information regarding the markets we operate in, the customers we service and certain other matters, which may not be accurate, complete, up-to-date or properly evaluated in all cases. Management of operational, legal or regulatory risks requires, among other things, policies and procedures to properly record and verify a number of transactions and events. Although we have established these policies and procedures, they may not be fully effective.
Our earnings are dependent upon the effectiveness of our management of changes in asset quality and risk concentrations, the accuracy of our valuation models and our critical accounting estimates and the adequacy of our allowances for loan losses. To the extent our assessments, assumptions or estimates prove inaccurate or not predictive of actual results, we could suffer higher than anticipated losses. If we fail to effectively implement our risk management policies, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects. While we have not faced instances of failure in effectively implementing our risk management policies during the stub period ended July 31, 2026, and the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024 that resulted in a material adverse effect on our business or operations, there can be no assurance that such instances will not occur in the future.
31. Any non-compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements may expose us to penalties and regulatory action, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a Company, we are required to comply with the provisions of the Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, Employees’ State Insurance (ESIC) and applicable Professional Tax Laws and file appropriate periodic returns within the prescribed timelines. The Company has paid the applicable amounts and has taken corrective measures to strengthen its internal compliance and monitoring systems to avoid recurrence of such delays in future. However, we cannot assure that we will not be subject to any legal proceedings, interest, penalties or regulatory action in the future on account of any inadvertent non- compliance, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and reputation.
The Company has been compliant with PF, ESIC and PT return filings however, certain inadvertent delays were observed as
follows:
Statutory Compliance Due Date Actual Date Reason for delay ESIC 15.04.2025 16.04.2025 The payment was initiated on April 15, 2025.

While the Company has taken corrective measures, we cannot assure that we will not be subject to interest, penalties, legal proceedings or regulatory action by the tax authorities in the future on account of any inadvertent delay or discrepancy in compliance, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.
32. We do not have access to records and data pertaining to certain historical legal and secretarial information in relation to certain disclosures. Further, there are certain discrepancies in the records available with us.
There are Certain corporate and secretarial records of our Company, including copies of certain prescribed forms and related challans filed with the Registrar of Companies (“RoC”) in relation to appointment of auditors, are not traceable, as set out in the
table below:
Sr. No Form No. Particular Year of Filing 1 Form 23B Appointment of Auditor 2008-09 2 Form 23B Appointment of Auditor 2009-10 3 Form 23B Appointment of Auditor 2010-11 4 Form 23B Appointment of Auditor 2012-13 5 Form 23B Appointment of Auditor 2013-14 The present promoters and management acquired control of our Company in the year 2019. Accordingly, certain documents, records and filings pertaining to periods prior to such acquisition were maintained by the erstwhile management and may not have been properly maintained.
We have, through our letter dated February 12, 2026 written to the RoC, intimating them of the forms filed by us with them (as mentioned above) which are untraceable. However, no response has been received from the RoC pursuant to such application as of the date of this Red Herring Prospectus. Further, an independent physical inspection was conducted by M/s. Khusbu & Co, Practicing Company Secretary in relation to above forms and has issued a certificate dated June 10, 2026. However, despite our efforts and inspection of the physical records maintained at the office of the Registrar of Companies (ROC Kolkata II), the said forms could not be traced. We cannot assure you that the regulatory filings or corporate records which we have not been able to locate will be available in the future, or that the regulatory filings were done in accordance with applicable law or at all or in timely manner. Although no regulatory action or litigation is presently pending against our Company in relation to the missing documents or filing irregularities referred to above, we cannot assure you that penalties or other regulatory actions will not be initiated or imposed by the relevant authorities in the future.
Further, an independent search of the records available with the MCA website dated 06-11-2025 vide SRN-UU1481030 in respect of such untraceable documents was carried out by M/s Gandharv Khandelwal & Co., Company Secretaries, the practicing company secretary engaged by us. Despite the aforesaid steps, we have not been able to trace the relevant documents.
We have relied on an independent search report dated 30.06.2026 and addendum thereto dated 07.10.2026 issued by M/s Gandharv Khandelwal & Co., Company Secretaries (the “Search Report”). As identified in the Search Report, certain challans relating to statutory filings are not traceable from the records of the Company or the Registrar of Companies (“RoC”). Due to the non- availability of certain challans and records, we are unable to independently verify whether all such filings were made within the prescribed timelines under the applicable laws. Further, certain forms filed with the Registrar of Companies contain clerical, 43typographical and other procedural irregularities, which may require rectification and may be subject to examination, clarification, or further action by the relevant regulatory authorities.
Accordingly, we are unable to assure that no regulatory observations, penalties, adjudication proceedings, or other actions may arise in connection with such non-traceable records, delayed/non-filings, or irregularities in statutory filings.
The details of the forms that were filed beyond the prescribed timelines and consequently attracted additional filing fees, as identified in the Search Report, are set out in the table below:

33. Risk relating to Non-Compliance of RBI Direction, regulatory supervision by RBI, reporting inaccuracies, and NPA provisioning errors In the past, pursuant to the appointment of a director, the composition of our Board resulted in a change in management for which prior approval of the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”) was required under the applicable regulatory framework. The Company had intimated the RBI of such change; however, the requisite prior approval had not been obtained at the relevant time.
Subsequently, the concerned director resigned from the Board and the composition of the Board was restored. As on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, no show cause notice, penalty, regulatory action or adverse direction has been received by the Company from the RBI or any other regulatory authority in relation to the aforesaid matter. Whereas the Company has not received any communication from the RBI in respect of the aforesaid matter.
As a non-banking financial company (“NBFC”), we are subject to ongoing supervision, inspections, and regulatory reporting requirements by the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”). The RBI conducts periodic inspections to evaluate, inter alia, our operations, asset quality, risk management framework, internal controls, governance standards, regulatory compliance, and credit monitoring systems. Based on such inspections, the RBI may issue observations, directions, or require remedial actions, including strengthening internal controls, modifying credit appraisal or provisioning policies, and enhancing compliance systems.
Further, in the past, the Company identified inaccuracies in regulatory reporting submitted to the RBI in the DNBS02 – Important Financial Parameters return for the financial year ended March 31, 2024, arising from incorrect internal policies relating to non- performing asset (“NPA”) recognition and provisioning. This resulted in misreporting of certain financial and asset quality 44parameters. Additionally, due to incorrect adoption and application of NPA provisioning policies, the Company had recorded higher provisions than required, which were subsequently rectified, resulting in reversals and fluctuations in reported income.
There can be no assurance that similar errors, omissions, system limitations, or differences in interpretation of regulatory or accounting requirements will not occur in the future. Any failure to comply with RBI requirements, recurrence of reporting inaccuracies, or incorrect provisioning practices may result in penalties, supervisory actions, restrictions on business operations, enhanced regulatory scrutiny, volatility in financial results, and reputational harm. Such events could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
The Company has undertaken corrective actions to align its policies with applicable RBI guidelines and has strengthened its internal controls, governance framework, and regulatory reporting processes. We have also enhanced our provisioning policies, internal review mechanisms, and audit systems to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Further, the Company continues to focus on improving monitoring systems, staff training, and periodic policy reviews to minimize the risk of reporting errors and provisioning inconsistencies in the future.
34. Our success depends in large part upon our Promoters, KMPs and certain other employees and our inability to attract, train and retain such persons could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
Our ability to sustain our rate of growth depends upon our ability to manage key issues such as selecting and retaining our management team, our Promoters, KMPs and other members of senior management for developing managerial experience, upskilling our employees and interns addressing emerging workforce challenges, and ensuring a high standard of customer service. In order to be successful, we must attract, train, motivate and retain experienced investment professionals, industry and management professionals, and highly skilled employees and interns, especially relationship managers and risk management personnel who are instrumental to the success of our business and on whom our business model heavily relies.
The table below sets forth the number of our employees and the corresponding attrition rates (defined as the number of employees that have voluntarily resigned, i.e., excluding separation on account of termination, death, superannuation, etc. during the specified year divided by the number of employees at beginning of year plus number of employees joined during the year):
(Amount in numbers, except otherwise mentioned) For the period ended For the year ended 31 March Particulars July 2026 2026 2025 2024 Number of Employees 56 55 50 44 Attrition Rate (%) * 5.45% 34.00% 47.73% 29.41% *The attrition rate has been calculated by dividing the number of employees who resigned during the respective period/year by the opening number of employees for such period/year.
The employee attrition rate for FY 2025 appears relatively high primarily due to the Company's small employee base and the methodology of calculating attrition based on the opening headcount. During the year, 21 employees separated from the Company. Based on the opening headcount of 44 employees, the attrition rate was 47.73%. However, the average employee headcount during the year was 48, resulting in an attrition rate of 44.40% when calculated using the average workforce.
However, the headline percentage does not reflect any material operational or strategic risk for the following reasons: a. Zero attrition in key leadership and critical business functions. All key management personnel and business-critical resources continued with the Company, ensuring continuity in strategy, technology, compliance, and customer operations.
b. Attrition was predominantly concentrated in entry-level operational roles of the employees belonged to routine operations, collections, and other clerical or transactional functions, where higher workforce mobility is common across the industry and positions can be backfilled with minimal business disruption.
c. Technology capability remained stable. Only four employees belonged to the Data & Technology function. Of these, one employee subsequently re-joined the Company, while another separation followed a performance management process. Consequently, there was no material loss of critical technical capability or institutional knowledge.
d. No disruption to business operations. The Company continued to meet its operational, regulatory, and technology deliverables throughout the year without any adverse impact on customer service or business continuity.
Accordingly, it does not affect the stability of the leadership team, the retention of critical talent, or the Company's execution capabilities. As the organization scales and the employee base expands, the reported attrition percentage is also expected to normalize. The Company's focus remains on retaining critical talent and leadership, rather than minimizing routine attrition in entry-level operational roles, which is an inherent characteristic of the digital lending and FinTech industry.
35. Certain non-GAAP financial measures and other selected statistical and operational information included in the Red Herring Prospectus may differ from standard methodologies applicable across the financial services industry and may not be comparable with similarly described measures presented by other companies.
Certain non-GAAP financial measures and other selected statistical and operational information relating to our operations and financial performance have been included in the Red Herring Prospectus. Such non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance or liquidity prescribed under Indian GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP.
45Further, certain statistical and operational information presented in the Red Herring Prospectus may not be computed on the basis of standard methodologies that are uniformly applicable across the financial services industry. Accordingly, such information may not be comparable with financial, statistical or operational information of similar nomenclature presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate or present such measures and information differently, which may limit their usefulness as comparative measures. Investors are therefore cautioned against placing undue reliance on such non- GAAP financial measures and other statistical and operational information and should consider the same together with the financial information and other disclosures contained elsewhere in the Red Herring Prospectus.
36. Annualized financial data included in this Red Herring Prospectus may not be indicative of our actual financial performance for the relevant financial year.
Certain financial information and operational data disclosed in this Red Herring Prospectus, including, where applicable, annualized financial information derived from financial results for a period of less than a full financial year, have been presented for the limited purpose of providing investors with an indication of our recent financial and operational performance. Such annualized financial information has been derived by extrapolating the financial results for the relevant period and may not represent, or be indicative of, our actual financial performance, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations for the full financial year.
Our business and financial performance may be affected by various factors during the remaining period of the relevant financial year, including changes in the volume of loan disbursements, growth in our assets under management, interest income, finance costs, credit losses and provisions, recoveries and write-offs, operating expenses, changes in borrower behaviour, regulatory developments, competitive conditions and other factors beyond our control. Further, certain income and expenses may not accrue evenly throughout a financial year and may be subject to seasonal fluctuations or variations in the timing of recognition.
Accordingly, annualized financial information may differ materially from our actual financial results for the relevant financial year and should not be considered as a forecast, projection or assurance of our future financial performance.
Investors should exercise caution and should not place undue reliance on such annualized financial information while making an investment decision in relation to the Equity Shares.
37. Our ability to attract and retain customers and maintain relationships with our lenders, business partners and other stakeholders is dependent, to some extent, on the confidence and trust placed in the company.
As a technology-enabled NBFC, our business may be exposed to reputational risks arising from customer grievances, service-related issues, allegations relating to our lending or collection practices, data privacy or cybersecurity incidents, regulatory or legal actions, employee misconduct or any other adverse event associated with our business and operations.
Any adverse publicity or negative perception relating to the company, our lending products, services or business practices, whether arising from events or allegations, may adversely affect the confidence of our existing and prospective customers.
Such information may be disseminated rapidly through digital and social media platforms and may be beyond our ability to control or contain.
Any significant customer grievance or adverse publicity may result in loss of customer confidence, reduced customer acquisition or retention, increased regulatory scrutiny, additional compliance and remediation costs and may adversely affect our relationships with lenders and other business stakeholders. Further, any adverse perception regarding our lending or collection practices may adversely affect our ability to grow our loan portfolio and conduct our business.
Although we have established processes for addressing customer grievances, there can be no assurance that such measures will prevent or mitigate all reputational risks. Any material adverse impact on our reputation or stakeholder confidence could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
38. We have certain contingent liabilities that have not been provided for in our Restated Consolidated Financial Information, which if they materialize, may adversely affect our financial condition.
The details of our contingent liabilities are set out below as of July 31, 2026: (Amount in INR Lakhs) As at 31 July As at 31 As at 31 As at 31 Particulars 2026 March 2026 March 2025 March 2024
(i) Claims against the company not acknowledged as - - - - debts
(ii) Guarantees - - - - 46(iii) Other money for which the company is 64.99 43.54 71.98 27.98 contingently liable* Total 64.99 43.54 71.98 27.98 *First loss default guarantee with respect to co-lending.
Our contingent liabilities may become actual liabilities. If a significant portion of these liabilities materialize, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects. Further, there can be no assurance that we will not incur similar or increased levels of contingent liabilities in the current fiscal year or in the future. For further details refer Section titled “Financial information” on page 175.
39. The loans provided to our customers can be used for various purposes and we may not have any control over such use. This may result in a failure by customers to repay the loans in a timely manner or at all and this may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
We provide loans to our customers primarily comprising salaried professionals and self-employed individuals. The purpose for which the loan is obtained differs from customer to customer. We do not have any direct control over how a customer actually utilizes the loan, after disbursal. Although, our credit appraisal system conducts due diligence during our underwriting process and exercises caution in its lending, any use of loan proceeds for purposes different from what was stated to us and which are outside our control, may impact the repayment capacity by the borrower under that loan. Further, we cannot control any incremental loans that our customers may subsequently obtain, which may adversely impact their repayment abilities. Any failure to repay such loan may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
40. Our Promoter will continue to hold a majority shareholding in our Company after the Offer and will be able to exercise significant influence over our business and management.
As on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, our Promoter, Capfront Technologies Private Limited, holds a majority of our issued, subscribed and paid-up equity share capital. Upon completion of the Offer, our Promoter will continue to hold a substantial shareholding in our Company. For further details, see “Capital Structure” at page no. 69 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
Accordingly, our Promoter will continue to exercise significant influence over matters requiring shareholders’ approval, including the appointment of directors, approval of business plans, capital structure, strategic decisions, mergers, acquisitions, and other corporate actions. Such concentration of shareholding may also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company and may make certain transactions more difficult or impossible without the support of our Promoter.
The interests of our Promoter may, at times, differ from those of our Company or our public shareholders. We cannot assure you that our Promoter will always act in a manner that is aligned with the interests of our minority shareholders. Any such conflict of interest may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
41. There are outstanding legal proceedings on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus involving our Company, Promoters, Directors, KMP/SMP and Group Company however there may be possible litigation which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A summary of outstanding matters set out below includes details of criminal proceedings, tax proceedings, statutory and regulatory actions and other material pending litigation involving us, Promoters, Directors, KMP/SMP and Group Company, as

47The amounts claimed in these proceedings have been disclosed to the extent. If any new developments arise, such as a change in Indian law or rulings against us by appellate courts or tribunals, we may need to make provisions in our financial statements that could increase our expenses and current liabilities.
We cannot assure that any of the outstanding litigation matters will be settled in our favour or that no additional liabilities will arise out of these proceedings. In addition to the above, we could also be adversely affected by complaints, claims or legal actions brought by persons, including before consumer forums or sector-specific or other regulatory authorities in the ordinary course of business or otherwise, in relation to our business operations, our intellectual property, our branding or marketing efforts or campaigns or our policies. We may also be subject to legal action by our employees and/or former employees in relation to alleged grievances, such as termination of employment. We cannot assure that such complaints, claims or requests for information will not result in investigations, enquiries or legal actions by any regulatory authority or third persons against us.
For further details of certain material legal proceedings involving our Company, our Promoters, our directors and our KMP/SMP refer “Outstanding Litigations and Material Developments” beginning on page no. 198 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
42. We have in the past entered into related party transactions and may continue to do so in the future. There can be no assurance that such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Our Company has entered into various transactions with our Directors, Group companies, Promoters and Promoter Group members/entities. These transactions, inter-alia includes remuneration and loans and advances etc.
For details, please refer to “Related Party Transactions” under Section titled “Financial information” on page no. 175 and
Chapter titled “Capital Structure” beginning on page no. 69 respectively of this Red Herring Prospectus. Our Company has entered into such transactions due to easy proximity and quick execution. All the related party transactions are conducted on arm’s length basis and are in compliance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and other applicable laws and in the ordinary course of business, there can be no assurance that we could not have achieved more favourable terms had such transactions not been entered into with related parties.
Furthermore, it is likely that we may enter into related party transactions in the future. any future transactions with our related parties could potentially involve conflicts of interest. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.
43. The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoters could be lower than the Issue Price.
Our Promoters average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares in our Company is lower than the Issue Price of the shares proposed to be offered though this Red Herring Prospectus. For further details regarding average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoters in our Company, please refer to chapter titled “Capital Structure” on page no. 69 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
44. There is no monitoring agency appointed by Our Company to monitor the utilization of the Issue proceeds.
Since the proceeds from the Issue do not exceed ₹50 crore, we are not required to appoint monitoring agency for monitoring the utilization of Net Proceeds in accordance with Regulation 262(1) of SEBI (ICDR) Regulations. However, as per Section 177 of the Companies Act, 2013, the Audit Committee of our Company, would be monitoring the utilization of the proceeds of the Issue and as per regulation 262(5) of SEBI (ICDR) Regulations 2018, we shall submit a certificate of the peer reviewed Chartered Accountants for utilization of money raised through the public issue to exchange while filing the quarterly financial results, till the issue proceeds are fully utilized. 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.
45. We may require further equity issuance, which will lead to dilution of equity and may affect the market price of our Equity Shares or additional funds through incurring debt to satisfy our capital needs, which we may not be able to procure and any future equity offerings by us.
Our growth is dependent on having a strong balance sheet to support our activities. In addition to the IPO Proceeds and our internally generated cash flow, we may need other sources of financing to meet our capital needs which may include entering into new debt facilities with lending institutions or raising additional equity in the capital markets. We may need to raise additional capital from time to time, dependent on business conditions. The factors that would require us to raise additional capital could be business growth beyond what the current balance sheet can sustain; additional capital requirements imposed due to changes in regulatory regime or significant depletion in our existing capital base due to unusual operating losses. Any fresh issue of shares or convertible securities would dilute existing holders, and such issuance may not be done at terms and conditions, which are favourable to the then existing shareholders of our Company. If our Company decides to raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt, our interest obligations will increase, and we may be subject to additional covenants, which could further limit our ability to access cash flows from our operations. Such financings could cause our debt-to-equity ratio to increase or require us to create charges or liens on our assets in favour of lenders. We cannot assure that we will be able to secure adequate financing in the future on acceptable terms, in time, or at all. Our failure to obtain sufficient financing could result in the delay or abandonment of our expansion plans. Our business and future results of operations may be affected if we are unable to implement our expansion strategy.
48Any future issuance of Equity Shares by our Company may dilute shareholding of investors in our Company; and hence affect the trading price of our Company’s Equity Shares and its ability to raise capital through an issue of its securities. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur could also affect the trading price of our Company’s Equity Shares.
Additionally, the disposal, pledge or encumbrance of Equity Shares by any of our Company’s major shareholders, or the perception that such transactions may occur may affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. No assurance may be given that our Company will not issue Equity Shares or that such shareholders will not dispose of, pledge or encumber their Equity Shares in the future.
RELATED TO EQUITY SHARES
46. Qualified Institutional Buyers (“QIBs”) and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (either quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid.
In accordance with the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, QIBs, Non-Institutional Bidders and Individual Bidders are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid. While our Company is required to complete all necessary formalities for listing and commencement of trading of the Equity Shares on all Stock Exchanges where such Equity Shares are proposed to be listed including Allotment pursuant to the Offer within three Working Days from the Bid/Offer Closing Date, events affecting the Applicants’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares, including material adverse changes in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects may arise between the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment. Our Company may complete the Allotment of the Equity. Shares even if such events occur, and such events may limit the Applicants’ ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Offer or cause the trading price of the Equity Shares to decline on listing.
47. Any future issuance of Equity Shares, or convertible securities or other equity linked instruments by us may dilute shareholding and sale of Equity Shares by the Promoters, members of our Promoter Group and other significant shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
We may, from time to time, require additional capital to fund our business operations, future growth, expansion or other corporate requirements. We may seek to raise such additional capital through the issuance of Equity Shares, securities convertible into or linked to our Equity Shares or other equity-linked instruments. Any such issuance may result in dilution of the shareholding and voting rights of our existing shareholders and may be undertaken at a price that is lower than the prevailing market price of our Equity Shares or the Issue Price.
Further, any sale or transfer of Equity Shares by our Promoters, members of our Promoter Group or other significant shareholders, including following the expiry of applicable lock-in requirements under the SEBI ICDR Regulations, may increase the supply of Equity Shares available for trading in the market. Any substantial sale or perception of a potential sale of Equity Shares by such shareholders may adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Equity Shares and may also affect investor confidence.
We cannot assure you that we will not undertake further issuances of Equity Shares or other securities, or that our Promoters, members of our Promoter Group or other significant shareholders will not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber their Equity Shares, subject to applicable laws and regulatory requirements. Any such issuance or sale, or the perception that such issuance or sale may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Equity Shares and may dilute the value of the investment of our existing shareholders.
Any future issuance of convertible securities or equity-linked instruments may also result in dilution upon conversion or exercise.
In addition, our ability to raise further capital through the issuance of Equity Shares or other securities may be adversely affected if the market price of our Equity Shares declines or investor sentiment towards our Equity Shares deteriorates. Accordingly, any such issuance, sale or perception thereof could materially and adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares and the value of an investment in our Company.
48. Under Indian law, foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions that limit our ability to attract foreign investors, which may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (“FEMA”), the rules and regulations framed thereunder, the foreign direct investment (“FDI”) policy of the Government of India (“GoI”) and circulars, notifications and directions issued by the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”). Under the foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfers of shares between residents and non-residents are generally permitted, subject to compliance with applicable pricing guidelines, valuation norms, reporting requirements and other conditions prescribed by the RBI. Transfers that are not in compliance with such requirements or do not fall within specified exemptions require prior approval of the RBI.
Further, shareholders who seek to convert rupee proceeds arising from the sale of equity shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate such proceeds outside India are required to comply with applicable exchange control regulations and obtain necessary tax clearance certificates or no-objection certificates from the Indian income tax authorities.
We cannot assure that any approvals required from the RBI, the GoI or other regulatory authorities will be obtained in a timely manner, on acceptable terms, or at all. Moreover, exchange control regulations applicable to us may restrict or delay the remittance of dividends to our shareholders, and there is no assurance that dividends, if any, will not be subject to delay or deduction. Any such restrictions or delays could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
4949. Our Equity Shares have never been publicly traded, and after the Offer, the Equity Shares may experience price and volume fluctuations, and an active trading market for the Equity Shares may not develop. Further, the Offer Price may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after the Offer.
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for the Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the Stock Exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing and quotation do not guarantee that a market for the Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the liquidity of such a market for the Equity Shares. The Offer Price will be determined by the Book Building Process and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the open market following the Offer. The market price of the Equity Shares may be influenced by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:
a) the failure of security analysts to cover the Equity Shares after this Offer, or changes in the estimates of our performance by analysts; b) the activities of competitors and suppliers; c) future sales of the Equity Shares by our shareholders;
d) investor perception of us and the industry in which we operate; e) our quarterly or annual earnings or those of our competitors; f) developments affecting fiscal, industrial or environmental regulations;
g) results of operations that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors; h) fluctuations in stock market prices and volume; i) actual or purported short squeeze trading activities j) the public’s reaction to our press releases, adverse media reports, rumours; and k) general economic conditions.
These will be based on numerous factors, including factors as described under “Basis for Issue Price” on page no. 88 of this Red Herring Prospectus and may not be indicative of the market price for our Equity Shares after the Offer. The market price of the Equity Shares may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors, variations in our operating results of our Company, market conditions specific to the industry we operate in, developments relating to India, volatility in securities markets in jurisdictions other than India, variations in the growth rate of financial indicators, variations in revenue or earnings estimates by research publications, and changes in economic, legal and other regulatory factors. Consequently, the price of our Equity Shares may be volatile. In addition, the stock market often experiences price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of a particular company. These broad market fluctuations and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of the Equity Shares, regardless of our Company’s performance. There can be no assurance that the investor will be able to resell their Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price. There has been significant volatility in the Indian stock markets in the recent past, and our Equity Share price could fluctuate significantly because of market volatility. A decrease in the market price of our Equity Shares could cause investors to lose some or all of their investment.
50. Requirements of being a listed company may strain our resources and impose additional requirements.
With the increased scrutiny of the affairs of a public listed company by shareholders, regulators and the public at large, we will incur significant legal, accounting, corporate governance and other expenses that we did not incur in the past. We will also be subject to the provisions of the listing agreements signed with the Stock Exchanges which require us to file unaudited financial results on a half yearly basis. In order to meet our financial control and disclosure obligations, significant resources and management supervision will be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could have an adverse effect on our business and operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to satisfy our reporting obligations and/or readily determine and report any changes to our results of operations in a timely manner as other listed companies. In addition, we will need to increase the strength of our management team and hire additional legal and accounting staff with appropriate public company experience and accounting knowledge and we cannot assure that we will be able to do so in a timely manner.
51. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising from income earned on the sale of our Equity Shares.
Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares in an Indian company are generally taxable in India. Any capital gain exceeding INR 125,000, realised on the sale of listed equity shares on a recognised stock exchange, held for more than 12 months immediately preceding the date of transfer, will be subject to long term capital gains in India, at the rate of 12.5% (plus applicable surcharge and cess). This beneficial rate is, among others, subject to payment of Securities Transaction Tax (“STT”). Further, any gain realised on the sale of equity shares in an Indian company held for more than 12 months, which are sold using any platform other than a recognised stock exchange and on which no STT has been paid, will be subject to long term capital gains tax in India, at the rate of 12.5% (plus applicable surcharge and cess).
Further, any capital gains realised on the sale of listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less immediately preceding the date of transfer will be subject to short term capital gains tax in India. Such gains will be subject to tax at the rate of 20% (plus applicable surcharge and cess), subject to STT being paid at the time of sale of such shares. Otherwise, such gains will be taxed at the applicable rates.
Capital gains arising from the sale of the Equity Shares will be exempt from taxation in India in cases where the exemption from taxation in India is provided under a treaty between India and the country of which the seller is resident (as per tax laws).
Generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of other countries may be liable for tax in India as well as in their jurisdiction on a gain upon the sale of the Equity Shares.
50Similarly, any business income realised from the transfer of Equity Shares held as business or trading assets is taxable at the applicable tax rates. In the case of a non-resident seller, the applicable tax rates may be subject to any treaty relief, if applicable.
Additionally, the Indian tax laws require deduction of tax at source in respect of dividends declared, distributed or paid by a domestic company after March 31, 2020, and such dividends would be taxable at applicable rates in the hands of the shareholders, both resident as well as non-resident (for tax purposes). We may or may not grant the benefit of a tax treaty (where applicable) to a non-resident shareholder for the purposes of deducting tax at source pursuant to any corporate action including dividends.
Furthermore, any change in Indian tax laws, rules, regulations or their interpretation, or in the applicability of tax treaties, could adversely affect the tax treatment of investments in our Equity Shares and may have an adverse impact on the returns to investors.
52. There is no guarantee that the Equity Shares will be listed, or continue to be listed, on the Stock Exchanges in a timely manner, or at all, and such that the prospective investors will not be able to immediately sell their Equity Shares.
In accordance with Indian law and practice, final approval for listing and trading of our Equity Shares will not be applied for or granted by the Stock Exchanges until after our Equity Shares have been issued and allotted. Such approval will require the submission of all other relevant documents authorizing the issuance of our Equity Shares. Accordingly, there could be a failure or delay in listing our Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges, which would adversely affect your ability to sell our Equity Shares.
53. There are restrictions on daily movements in the price of the Equity Shares, which may adversely affect a shareholder’s ability to sell, or the price at which it can sell, the Equity Shares at a particular point in time.
The price of the Equity Shares will be subject to a daily circuit breaker imposed by all stock exchanges in India which does not allow transactions beyond a certain level of volatility in the price of the Equity Shares. This circuit breaker operates independently of the index-based market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by the SEBI on Indian stock exchanges. The percentage limit on our circuit breaker is set by the stock exchanges based on the historical volatility in the price and trading volume of the Equity Shares. The stock exchanges do not inform us of the percentage limit of the circuit breaker from time to time, and may change it without our knowledge. This circuit breaker effectively limits upward and downward movements in the price of the Equity Shares.
As a result, shareholders’ ability to sell the Equity Shares, or the price at which they can sell the Equity Shares, may be adversely affected at a particular point in time.
EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS
54. Disruptions in digital payment systems and technology infrastructure may adversely affect our operations.
Our loan disbursal and repayment processes are primarily carried out through our proprietary technology platform; however, certain payment and settlement functions utilise third-party digital payment infrastructure and service providers, including systems such as Unified Payments Interface (UPI), Bharat Bill Payment System and payment gateways. While our core digital lending operations are not dependent on third parties, the availability, reliability and regulatory compliance of such external payment systems are outside our direct control and are subject to operational, technical, regulatory and cybersecurity risks.
Any disruption, delay, system failure, regulatory restriction or cyber incident affecting these payment systems or service providers may impair the timely processing of loan disbursals or collections, adversely impact our cash flows and liquidity management, and negatively affect customer experience and confidence in our services, which could adversely affect our business operations and financial performance.
55. Changing laws, rules and regulations in India and legal uncertainties could result in additional compliance requirements and adversely affect our business.
The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate is evolving and is subject to change. The GoI may implement new laws or other regulations and policies that could affect fintech in general, which could lead to new compliance requirements, including requiring us to obtain approvals and licenses from the Government and other regulatory bodies, or impose onerous requirements.
For instance, the GoI notified (a) the Code on Wages, 2019 (“Wages Code”); (b) the Code on Social Security, 2020 (“Social Security Code”); (c) the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020; and (d) the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 which consolidate, subsume and replace numerous existing central labour legislations. Certain portions of the Wages Code and Social Security Code have come into force upon notification by the Ministry of Labour and Employment. The remainder of these codes shall come into force on the day that the Government shall notify for this purpose. While we are yet to determine the impact of such laws on our business and operations, the enforcement of these laws may restrict our ability to grow our business in the future, increase our expenses and could lead to higher employee and labour costs, which in turn could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Similarly, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Insider Trading) (Amendment) Regulations, 2025 have recently been notified, which have inter alia, expanded the definition of “unpublished price sensitive information” included in the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations 2015, as amended (“Insider Trading Regulations”).
Further, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“DPDP Act”) received the assent of the President of India on 11.08.2023.
51The DPDP Act establishes a comprehensive framework governing the collection, processing, storage and protection of personal data. In 2025, the Government of India notified the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, pursuant to which the provisions of the DPDP Act are being operationalised and implemented in a phased manner. Compliance with the DPDP Act and the rules notified thereunder may require us to incur additional expenditure, modify our internal processes and information technology systems, and allocate additional management time and resources. Any actual or perceived non-compliance with the DPDP Act could expose us to regulatory actions, penalties and reputational harm.
Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may impact the viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future. We may incur increased costs and other burdens relating to compliance with such new requirements, which may also require significant management time and other resources, and any failure to comply may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may impact the viability of our current businesses or restrict our ability to grow our businesses in the future.
56. The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters, fires, epidemics, pandemics, acts of war, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other events could materially and adversely affect the financial markets and our business.
Natural disasters (such as floods, earthquakes, cyclones) and other severe weather events, epidemics and pandemics (including COVID-19), as well as man-made disasters, geopolitical conflicts, acts of war, terrorist attacks and other events beyond our control, may lead to economic instability in India or globally. Such events could adversely affect overall economic activity, financial markets, borrower repayment capacity and investor sentiment, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our operations may also be adversely affected by fires, natural disasters or severe weather conditions, which could result in damage to our offices or infrastructure, disruption of business continuity, evacuation of personnel or suspension of operations for certain periods. Any such disruption may adversely impact our ability to service customers, manage loan portfolios and conduct normal business operations. Such events could adversely affect the Indian economy and the securities market of India including our Equity Shares.
57. A downgrade in the sovereign credit ratings of India may adversely affect our cost of borrowing, access to capital and the trading price of our Equity Shares Our cost of borrowings and access to domestic and international debt capital markets are influenced by the sovereign credit ratings assigned to India by international credit rating agencies. Any adverse revision or downgrade in India’s sovereign credit ratings could increase borrowing costs, reduce the availability of funding and adversely affect the terms on which financing is available to Indian companies, including NBFCs such as ours. A downgrade in India’s sovereign credit ratings could occur due to factors beyond our control, including changes in fiscal policy, taxation policy, macroeconomic conditions, government finances, political developments or external economic shocks. Any such downgrade may adversely affect our ability to raise funds on favourable terms, impact investor sentiment towards Indian securities and may consequently have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our Equity Shares.
58. The Reserve Bank of India’s scale-based regulatory framework for NBFCs may subject us to enhanced regulatory oversight and compliance requirements.
Pursuant to the Reserve Bank of India’s scale-based regulatory framework, non-banking financial companies are classified into different regulatory layers based on parameters such as asset size, nature of activities, complexity of operations and overall risk profile. The Reserve Bank of India continues to review and refine supervisory expectations under this framework, including requirements relating to corporate governance, capital adequacy, liquidity management, risk management systems, information technology governance, customer protection and regulatory disclosures.
Any reclassification of our Company into a higher regulatory layer, or any enhancement in supervisory scrutiny or regulatory requirements applicable to us, may require us to comply with more stringent norms, incur additional compliance and operational costs, strengthen internal controls and governance frameworks, and allocate additional management time and resources. Such changes may also impose operational constraints on our business activities and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
59. Recent amendments to Indian tax laws, including the Finance Act, 2025, may adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows tax liabilities and compliance obligations.
New income, sales, use or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulation or ordinances could be enacted at any time, or interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us, any of which could adversely affect our business operations and financial performance. While we did not experience any material impact on our operations and financial performance due to changes to tax laws in countries in which we operate in stub period ended 31.07.2027, and financial year ended FY 2026, 2025 and 2024, uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may affect the viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future.
52For example, the Government of India has enacted the Income-tax Act, 2025, which became effective April 1, 2026, which introduces a new tax year, consolidates and restructures compliance, expands digital-first administration, and clarifies the scope of virtual digital assets and digital record-keeping. While the reform aims to simplify administration without changing tax rates, the transition may create interpretive uncertainty and require changes to our systems, controls, contracts, and processes in India.
Failure to implement timely changes or accurately comply with could result in higher tax liabilities, cash flow timing impacts from withholding, interest and penalties, increased administrative costs, and disputes. Additional rules, notifications, or technology requirements issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes could be extensive or retrospective and may affect our Indian operations, subsidiaries, and cross-border arrangements. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow. There is uncertainty in regards to the impact of the Finance Act, 2025 and Income-tax Act, 2025, on tax laws or other regulations, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or on the industry in which we operate.
Further, the Government of India announced the union budget for Fiscal 2027, following which the Finance Bill, 2026 (“Finance Bill”) was introduced in the Lok Sabha on February 1, 2026. The Finance Bill will be enacted once it is passed by the Indian Parliament and receives the President’s assent. Further, pursuant to the Finance Bill, 2026, introduced in Parliament to give effect to the financial proposals of the Central Government for the financial year 2026-2027, the Government of India has maintained the corporate income-tax rate structure for assessment year 2026-27, with differentiated rates applicable to domestic companies based on turnover thresholds and specific rates for foreign companies. There remains uncertainty as to the impact the Finance Bill will have on tax laws and other regulations and it is unclear whether all changes proposed under the Finance Bill will materialise and, if so, what the ultimate impact on our business will be. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors and to carefully consider the potential tax consequences of owning, investing or trading in our Equity Shares.
Any further changes in tax laws, subordinate legislation, administrative interpretations, enforcement practices or judicial precedents may affect our effective tax rate, tax liabilities, cash flows and post-tax returns to shareholders, and may require us to modify our tax positions, systems and compliance processes, thereby increasing our compliance and administrative costs. We cannot assure investors that future amendments to tax laws, or changes in their interpretation or enforcement, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
60. Reforms in banking laws, heightened regulation of digital lending practices and consumer protection may influence the regulatory environment applicable to NBFCs.
The Banking Laws (Amendment) Act, 2025 has introduced reforms aimed at strengthening governance standards, audit transparency, depositor protection and regulatory reporting requirements in the banking sector. While the provisions of these amendments are primarily applicable to banks, regulatory developments in the banking sector often inform and influence the supervisory approach, governance expectations and risk management standards prescribed for non-banking financial companies by the Reserve Bank of India.
Further, regulatory authorities, including the Reserve Bank of India, have increased scrutiny of digital lending practices, covering areas such as customer onboarding and due diligence processes, pricing transparency, disclosure of annual percentage rates and other charges, use of digital know-your-customer mechanisms, data collection and sharing practices, recovery and collection methods, and the adequacy of grievance redressal systems.
Any extension, harmonisation or adoption of similar governance, audit, disclosure or risk management requirements for NBFCs by the Reserve Bank of India may require us to enhance our internal control frameworks, governance structures, compliance processes and reporting systems, including those relating to our technology-enabled and app-based lending operations. Such changes may result in increased compliance and operational costs, greater regulatory scrutiny and potential restrictions on our business activities, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our Company’s CRAR for the stub period and for Financial Years 2024, 2025, 2026, exceeds the minimum regulatory requirement of 15% of its aggregate Risk-Weighted Assets and the risk-adjusted value of off-balance sheet exposures as prescribed by the RBI.
However, in line with our projected growth, we anticipate the need for additional capital in the future to ensure continued compliance with these regulatory thresholds. Further, in November 2023, the RBI increased the risk weight on consumer credit exposures (excluding housing, education, and vehicle loans) from 100% to 125%. While in February 2025, the RBI reduced this risk weight to 100% for microfinance loans under the consumer-credit category, the 125% risk weight continues to apply to general unsecured personal loans and other consumer credit exposures. Consequently, our unsecured personal loan portfolio remains subject to higher capital requirements, which may have an adverse impact on our CRAR.
84Our business depends significantly on the ability to raise funds at competitive rates, which, in turn, is influenced by various factors such as our credit ratings. A higher CRAR generally supports stronger credit ratings, potentially reducing our cost of borrowing and positively impacting our interest margins and overall financial performance. Accordingly, we propose to allocate Rs [●] lakhs from the Net Proceeds towards maintaining higher Tier I capital to support our onward lending and overall capital adequacy. We believe that maintaining a robust Tier I capital position will enable us to remain competitive with our industry peers and adequately meet the capital requirements associated with our business and asset growth.
2. GENERAL CORPORATE PURPOSES:
Our management, following the policies established by our Board, has the flexibility to allocate the proceeds designated for general corporate purposes.

Set forth the description on the historic use of the KPIs by our Company to analyse, track or monitor the operational and/or financial performance of our Company In assessing our business performance, we use certain Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), as outlined above, as supplementary tools to review and evaluate our financial and operational results. These KPIs are not intended to be viewed in isolation or as a replacement for the Restated Consolidated Financial Information. While we use them to assess our performance, it is important to note that some of these KPIs are not defined or presented in accordance with Accounting Standards (AS) and may have limitations as analytical tools.
Additionally, these KPIs may differ from those used by other companies, which could limit their comparability. As such, they should not be seen as a standalone measure or as a substitute for AS compliant metrics in evaluating our performance, liquidity, profitability, or operating results. Despite not being calculated according to applicable accounting standards, our management believes these KPIs offer an additional perspective for investors, helping them assess our ongoing performance and industry trends. When considered alongside AS compliant financial information, they contribute to a more consistent and comparable view of our historical performance.
Investors are recommended to consider the relevant GAAP measures and avoid relying solely on any one financial or operational metric when evaluating our business.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK:
Global Economy Growth: Global growth is slowing due to a substantial rise in trade barriers and the pervasive effects of an uncertain global policy environment. Growth is expected to weaken to 2.3 percent in 2025, with deceleration in most economies relative to last year. This would mark the slowest rate of global growth since 2008, aside from outright global recessions. On the other hand, as per the World economic Outlook report of July 2025, issued by IMF Global growth is projected at 3.0 percent for 2025 and 3.1 percent in 2026. Global growth is expected to decelerate, with apparent resilience due to trade-related distortions waning. At 3.0 percent in 2025 and 3.1 percent in 2026, the forecasts are below the 2024 outcome of 3.3 percent and the pre-pandemic historical average of 3.7 percent. The upward revision for 2025 is quite broad based (Figure 3), because it owes in large part to strong front-loading in international trade as well as to a lower worldwide effective tariff.
In all, GDP-weighted global inflation is projected to average 2.9 percent in 2025 and 2026-still a little above the average inflation target-but with notable heterogeneity across economies.
The global outlook has deteriorated substantially relative to January 2025, with global growth in 2025 expected to register its weakest pace since 2008, aside from outright global recessions. This deterioration is broad-based across the world’s economies and follows sharp increases in trade tensions and policy uncertainty. The slowdown in global growth will erode demand for oil and various other commodities, weighing on the outlook for many EMDE commodity exporters. Following U.S. tariff announcements, financial markets experienced substantial turbulence, with a spike in equity market volatility and a rise in EMDE sovereign bond spreads, although these subsequently subsided.

https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/NGDP_RPCH@WEO/OEMDC/ADVEC/WEOWORLD/IND?year=2029 103Growth in developed Economies: In advanced economies, growth forecasts for 2025 have declined substantially since January 2025, driven by downgrades in some of the world’s largest economies. This reflects the shock dealt by the increases in trade barriers - even with the partial 90-day pause in U.S. tariff increases - and the associated policy uncertainty, financial volatility, and dampening effects on confidence. As a result, growth is expected to remain below potential growth estimates over the forecast horizon in some advanced economies, including in the United States and the euro area.
In the United States, the announcement of trade policy changes did not provide much-needed clarity or reduce policy uncertainty, given the scale and scope of new tariffs, shifting timelines for their implementation, and fluid lists of exemptions. Furthermore, the implications of such large policy shifts, including potential steps that could be taken by other governments in response, remain highly unpredictable. Prior to recent tariffs coming into effect, U.S. activity had already begun to slow in early 2025 as spending on imports surged at the expense of domestically produced goods. Private consumption growth has eased somewhat.
In the euro area, the recent surge in policy uncertainty and financial volatility, as well as increases in tariffs on the European Union
(EU), are set to prolong the bloc’s economic weakness, holding back a recovery in investment and trade. Growth in the euro area is projected to slow in 2025, to 0.7 percent, and remain a touch below its trend of about 1 percent, averaging 0.9 percent over 2026-
27.
In Japan, growth is expected to firm from an estimated 0.2 percent in 2024 to 0.7 percent in 2025, underpinned by a rebound in consumption and the reopening of automobile plants after longer-than-expected shutdowns last year.

Growth in South Asian Region: Although growth in the South Asia (SAR) region is expected to remain the fastest among emerging market and developing economy regions, overall prospects are weakening amid rising global trade barriers and heightened uncertainty.
Regional growth is projected to moderate to 5.8 percent in 2025 and then average 6.2 percent during 2026–2027, staying below pre-pandemic levels and limiting the potential for rapid job creation. Per capita income growth is anticipated to average around 5 percent over the forecast period; however, excluding India, growth is expected to be considerably slower, indicating limited progress in poverty reduction and income convergence.
The risks to the outlook remain skewed to the downside, with intensified trade barriers and persistent global policy uncertainty posing the most immediate threats. Additional risks include tighter global financial conditions-stemming from higher-than- expected global inflation or declining risk appetite-financial sector instability, rising violence and social unrest, reduced official aid flows, and the growing frequency of extreme weather events.

INDIAN ECONOMY OUTLOOK:
Gross Domestic Product (GDP): India has consistently demonstrated robust economic growth, emerging as one of the fastest- growing major economies globally. India is now the world’s fourth-largest economy and is projected to become the third largest by 2030 with a GDP of US$ 7.3 trillion.
This transformation stems from a decade of focused governance, structural reforms, and strengthened global positioning. Backed by strong domestic demand, favourable demographics, and sustained policy reforms, India continues to enhance its global footprint in trade, investment, and innovation. Over the past decade, India’s GDP at current prices has surged from US$ 1.23 trillion in FY15 to an estimated US$ 3.82 trillion in FY25, tripling in just ten years. India’s nominal GDP grew by 9.8% and real GDP by 6.5% in FY25, reflecting strong domestic demand, investment, and resilient consumer spending.
In Q1 of FY26, real GDP surged by 7.8%, achieving the fastest pace in five quarters, beating RBI estimate of 6.5%. This growth was primarily driven by services, manufacturing, and government capital expenditure. Looking ahead to FY26, real GDP growth is projected to range between 6.4% and 6.7%, indicating sustained economic momentum. This trajectory is underpinned by macroeconomic stability, a resilient external sector, narrowing fiscal deficit, easing inflation, and high consumption expenditure.
Additionally, improving employment prospects and the government’s focus on long-term structural reforms are expected to play a key role in sustaining growth.
Moreover, export performance has experienced remarkable growth over the past decade, reflecting the increasing credibility and demand for Indian products in the global marketplace. India’s total exports have shown remarkable growth over the past decade, rising from US$ 468 billion in FY14 to US$ 825 billion in FY25, marking a substantial increase of approximately 76%.
Additionally, India's share of world merchandise exports also improved, rising from 1.66% to 1.81%, advancing the country from 20th to 17th position globally. The demographic transition, marked by a lower infant mortality rate and a consistent growth in literacy rates, further enhances India's advantageous position. With improved income distribution, heightened employment rates, and globally competitive social amenity provisions, there is potential for India's per capita GDP to expand in the next 25 years, mirroring the growth seen in the preceding 75 years.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS:
India is primarily a domestic demand-driven economy, with consumption and investments contributing to 70% of the economic activity. With India’s economy showing resilient growth, supported by strong domestic demand, policy reforms, and a healthy investment pipeline, several new projects and developments are underway across key sectors. This positive development across
key sectors is evident from following key economic data points: a) According to the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), India's cumulative FDI inflow stood at Rs.

INDIAN MARKET OVERVIEW:
India’s economy shows robust expansion, with real GDP for FY25 estimated at Rs. 1,87,97,000 crore (US$ 2.20 trillion), from Rs.
1,76,51,000 crore (US$ 2.06 trillion) in FY24 with a growth rate of 6.5%. This growth is driven by rising employment and stronger private consumption, supported by improving consumer sentiment, which is expected to keep the momentum going in the near future.
Trade remains a critical pillar of India’s growth story with exports reaching Rs. 37,31,000 crore (US$ 436.6 billion) in FY25, led by Engineering Goods (26.88%), Petroleum Products (13.86%) and Electronic Goods (8.89%). These exports helped the economy stay resilient during the pandemic when other sectors slowed. Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal projects exports to reach Rs. 85,44,000 crore (US$ 1 trillion) by 2030.
India’s ability to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has also strengthened. The country received record FDI inflows amounting to Rs. 4,21,929 crore (US$ 49.3 billion) in FY25 a 15% increase over FY24, supported by a stable policy environment, a large domestic market and steady economic growth positioning the country as a key destination for global capital. This capital inflow also complements government plans for increased investment in infrastructure and asset-building projects to further boost economic growth.
India’s external economic position is improving. The current account deficit narrowed to Rs. 1,98,726 crore (US$ 23.30 billion), or 0.6% of GDP, in FY25 from Rs. 2,21,754 crore (US$ 26.00 billion), or 0.7% of GDP, in FY24.

ROAD AHEAD:
India’s economy grew by 6.5% in FY25. With a 7.4% growth rate in Q4 FY25, with RBI projecting a growth rate of 6.5% in FY26 as well. India's comparatively strong position in the external sector reflects the country's positive outlook for economic growth and rising employment rates. In 2024, India rose to 15th place globally in FDI rankings and retained its position as South Asia’s top recipient.
In Half-yearly 1 (H1) FY25, India’s growth-focused approach was underscored by the government’s capital expenditure outlay of Rs. 15,02,000 crore (US$ 176 billion), reinforcing its commitment to infrastructure-led development.
In the Union Budget of FY26, capital expenditure took lead by steeply increasing the capital expenditure outlay by 10% to Rs.
11,21,000 crore (US$ 131 billion) over Rs. 10,18,000 crore (US$ 119 billion) in FY25. Stronger revenue generation because of improved tax compliance, increased profitability of the company, and increasing economic activity also contributed to rising capital spending levels.
India’s total goods and service exports surged by 76% over the past decade, touching Rs. 70,36,425 crore (US$ 825 billion) in FY25, driven by strong performance in engineering goods, electronics, and pharmaceuticals. With a reduction in port congestion, supply networks are being restored.

INDIAN FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRIES OUTLOOK:
India climbed to the fifth spot in global market capitalization rankings with a 4% share by June 2025, ahead of economies like UK, Germany, and Canada. This marked a significant rise from 3.6% in February 2025, reflecting increasing investor faith and resilience of Indian equities globally.
108India has a diversified financial sector undergoing rapid expansion both in terms of strong growth of existing financial services firms and new entities entering the market. The sector comprises commercial banks, insurance companies, non-banking financial companies, co-operatives, pension funds, mutual funds and other smaller financial entities. The banking regulator has allowed new entities such as payment banks to be created recently, thereby adding to the type of entities operating in the sector. However, the financial sector in India is predominantly a banking sector with commercial banks accounting for more than 64% of the total assets held by the financial system.
The Government of India has introduced several reforms to liberalise, regulate and enhance this industry. The Government and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have taken various measures to facilitate easy access to finance for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). These measures include launching Credit Guarantee Fund Scheme for MSMEs, issuing guidelines to banks regarding collateral requirements and setting up a Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency (MUDRA). With a combined push by Government and private sector, India is undoubtedly one of the world's most vibrant capital markets.
NBFCs are dominating India's financial markets with strong growth metrics, including double-digit Asset Under Management
(AUM) growth, improved asset quality, and rising profitability, attracting significant investor attention.
The sustained growth in India’s retail credit market is creating fresh opportunities for Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) to broaden their investor base, according to a recent report by Crisil Intelligence. As of FY25, India’s retail credit stood at Rs.
82,00,000 (US$ 937 billion), registering a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15.1% between FY19 and FY25. In FY25 alone, the sector grew by 14%, fuelled by robust demand in key segments such as housing finance, auto loans, credit cards, and personal loans.
Unified Payments Interface (UPI) transactions crossed 20.01 billion in August 2025, recording a 3% rise from 19.47 billion in July, according to the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).
In value terms, UPI processed Rs. 24,85,000 crore (US$ 281 billion) during the month, maintaining strong momentum compared to Rs. 25,08,000 crore (US$ 284 billion) in July. On a YoY basis, UPI transactions rose 34% in volume and 21% in value, underscoring its role as the primary mode of digital payments in India.

The campaign also promotes financial literacy and digital fraud awareness, showing steady progress towards inclusive finance.
b) The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cut the repo rate by 50 basis points to 5.50% and reduced the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) by 100 basis points to 3%, aiming to enhance liquidity and support credit growth amid global uncertainties.
c) CSC e-Governance disbursed over Rs. 3,000 crore (340.60 million) in loans since mid-2023, supporting rural beneficiaries with formal credit access that helps financial empowerment and inclusion. d) The Union Budget 2025-26 brought key financial reforms:

1.15 trillion), along with a tripling of investor accounts to 130 million by 2025. Simultaneously, India’s mobile wallet segment is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 23.90% between 2023 and 2027 to reach US$ 5.7 trillion.

While it continues to navigate challenges such as regulatory shifts, rising operational costs, and growing competition from fintech players, the sector is simultaneously embracing opportunities brought by digital innovation, structural reforms, and evolving customer needs. From UPI’s global reach to a surge in fintech investments and grassroots financial schemes like Jan Dhan Yojana, India’s banking landscape is undergoing a dynamic transformation, laying the groundwork for a more inclusive, tech-driven, and resilient financial ecosystem.
As per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), India’s banking sector is sufficiently capitalised and well-regulated. The financial and economic conditions in the country are far superior to any other country in the world. Credit, market and liquidity risk studies suggest that Indian banks are generally resilient and have withstood the global downturn well.
The Indian banking industry has recently witnessed the rollout of innovative banking models like payments and small finance banks. In recent years India has also focused on increasing its banking sector reach, through various schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana and Post payment banks. Schemes like these coupled with major banking sector reforms like digital payments, neo-banking, a rise of Indian NBFCs and fintech have significantly enhanced India’s financial inclusion and helped fuel the credit cycle in the country.
Indian Fintech industry is estimated to be at Rs. 12,99,450 crore (US$ 150 billion) by 2025. India has the third largest FinTech ecosystem globally. India is one of the fastest-growing Fintech markets in the world. There are currently more than 2,000 DPIIT- recognized Financial Technology (FinTech) businesses in India, and this number is rapidly increasing.
The digital payments system in India has evolved the most among 25 countries with India’s Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) being the only system at level five in the Faster Payments Innovation Index (FPII). India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has also revolutionized real-time payments and strived to increase its global reach in recent years.
Banks are launching new online services and AI-powered chatbots to make digital banking more secure and convenient. Two- factor authentication and biometric verification are being strengthened to safeguard digital transactions. As per the latest guidelines of the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), the UPI ID of customers linked to an inactive mobile number will become inactive.
On April 28, 2025, an announcement was made about the "Digital Assam 2025" initiative.

Set forth the description on the historic use of the KPIs by our Company to analyse, track or monitor the operational and/or financial performance of our Company In assessing our business performance, we use certain Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), as outlined above, as supplementary tools to review and evaluate our financial and operational results. These KPIs are not intended to be viewed in isolation or as a replacement for the Restated Consolidated Financial Information. While we use them to assess our performance, it is important to note that some of these KPIs are not defined or presented in accordance with Accounting Standards (AS) and may have limitations as analytical tools.
Additionally, these KPIs may differ from those used by other companies, which could limit their comparability. As such, they should not be seen as a standalone measure or as a substitute for AS compliant metrics in evaluating our performance, liquidity, profitability, or operating results. Despite not being calculated according to applicable accounting standards, our management believes these KPIs offer an additional perspective for investors, helping them assess our ongoing performance and industry trends. When considered alongside AS compliant financial information, they contribute to a more consistent and comparable view of our historical performance.
Investors are recommended to consider the relevant GAAP measures and avoid relying solely on any one financial or operational metric when evaluating our business.

k) Earnings per Share:
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss after tax for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstandings during the year.
Diluted earnings per share (DEPS) reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue equity shares were exercised or converted to equity during the year. Diluted earnings per equity share are computed using the weighted average number of equity shares and the dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year except where the results are anti-dilutive.

OVERVIEW For an overview of the business of our Company, refer “Our Business” on page 115.
Significant Factors Affecting our Financial Condition and Results of Operations AUM growth through customer acquisition and retention The growth and sustainability of our business are closely linked to our ability to expand assets under management (“AUM”), which depends significantly on the acquisition of new customers and the retention of existing customers through repeat lending relationships. The effectiveness of our customer acquisition and retention initiatives directly influences our operating efficiency, profitability, and long-term scalability. An increase in customer acquisition costs (“CAC”), if not appropriately balanced by customer lifetime value, may exert pressure on margins and could adversely affect our ability to grow AUM in a disciplined and sustainable manner.
Further, our ability to retain our existing customers is critical, as repeat business not only enhances revenue predictability but also reduces the relative cost of acquisition over time. Our success in deploying data-driven marketing initiatives, leveraging technology to personalize user experiences, and maintaining a seamless digital interface will be pivotal in cultivating customer loyalty. Any inability to attract new borrowers at a sustainable cost or to retain existing customers for subsequent lending cycles could adversely affect our growth trajectory, revenue generation and overall financial health.
Risk management and portfolio quality A key factor influencing our operational performance is our ability to effectively manage credit risk through prudent customer selection, disciplined underwriting practices, and efficient recovery mechanisms. Our capacity to assess borrower creditworthiness and repayment capability directly impacts the quality of our loan portfolio, levels of non-performing assets (“NPAs”), and overall financial performance.
The Company follows a structured credit appraisal process that incorporates borrower profile evaluation, credit bureau information, internal risk assessment parameters, and repayment behaviour to support informed lending decisions. These measures enable us to identify borrowers with stable repayment capacity and manage portfolio risk, particularly as we continue to expand our lending activities.
In addition, the effectiveness of our collection and recovery processes, including regular follow-ups and monitoring of overdue accounts, plays an important role in controlling credit losses and maintaining portfolio stability. Any deficiencies in credit assessment, monitoring, or recovery processes may adversely affect asset quality, profitability, and the sustainability of our operations.
178Set out below are certain key indicators relating to our portfolio quality as of and for the periods indicated:
For the period For the Year Ended 31 March ended Particulars 31 July 2026 2026 2025 2024 Gross NPA (%) 4.56% 4.71% 5.25% 6.72% Net NPA (%) 1.72% 2.94% 1.73% 0.60%
Notes:
1) Gross NPA represents the ratio of gross non-performing assets to total gross loan portfolio as at the end of the relevant period.
2) Net NPA represents gross non-performing assets net of provisions, expressed as a percentage of the total gross loan portfolio as at the end of the relevant period.
Cost-efficient capital sourcing Our profitability is dependent on our ability to access funding on a timely basis and at competitive costs for both our on-book and off-book loan portfolios. The efficient mobilisation of funds is essential to support loan disbursements, manage liquidity requirements, and facilitate the growth of our lending operations. The cost of funds directly affects our net interest margin, which is a key contributor to our overall profitability Funding availability and pricing may be influenced by factors such as interest rate movements, prevailing credit market conditions, and risk perceptions of lenders and investors. In respect of our on-book loan portfolio, where we retain credit risk, access to competitively priced funding is important to sustaining viable lending rates and achieving acceptable returns. Similarly, for off- book loans facilitated through lending partners, our operational performance is influenced by the pricing, structure, and continuity of such arrangements.
Our ability to maintain diversified funding sources, including borrowings from banks, non-banking financial companies, and other financial institutions, is critical to ensuring financial flexibility and mitigating funding concentration risk. Any disruption in these funding channels arising from market volatility, adverse credit developments, or shifts in investor sentiment could adversely affect our liquidity position, operational flexibility, and financial performance. Accordingly, maintaining strong relationships with funding partners, actively managing our credit profile, and optimising our capital structure are integral to the long-term sustainability of our business.
Set out below are certain metrics in relation to our liability profile as of and for the years indicated. (Amount in INR, except otherwise mentioned) For the period For the Year Ended 31 March Ended Particulars 31 July 2026 2026 2025 2024 Capital to risk weighted asset
43.80% 28.57% 39.69% 39.90% ratio (CRAR) (%) Debt service coverage ratio
(times) 0.29 0.18 0.17 0.15 Debt to equity ratio (times) 0.80 1.60 0.83 1.04
Notes:
(1) Capital to risk weighted assets ratio or CRAR is computed by dividing our tier I and tier II capital by risk weighted assets (computed in accordance with the relevant RBI guidelines).
(2) Debt service coverage ratio is calculated as Earning available for debt service divided by debt service.
(3) Debt to equity ratio is calculated as total borrowings divided by Net Worth of our Company as on the last day of the relevant period/year.
Dependence on Technology Systems Our business operations are substantially dependent on the effective functioning of our technology-based systems and applications, which support core activities such as customer onboarding, loan processing, portfolio monitoring, collections, and management reporting. Any disruption, failure, or inadequacy in these systems-whether due to technical issues, system downtime, cyber security incidents, data integrity concerns, or limitations in scalability-could adversely affect operational efficiency, risk management, 179regulatory compliance, and customer service. Further, the need for ongoing maintenance, upgrades, or enhancements to our technology infrastructure may result in increased costs. Any inability to ensure the reliability, security, and scalability of our technology systems could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
Regulatory Landscape and Macroeconomic Volatility Our results of operations are significantly influenced by the evolving regulatory environment in India. The lending sector, including digital lending activities, is subject to oversight by regulatory authorities such as the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”) and other governmental bodies. Regulatory frameworks applicable to lending activities continue to evolve with the objective of addressing emerging risks, strengthening consumer protection, and enhancing transparency and compliance. Changes in applicable laws, regulations, circulars, or guidelines- including those relating to data protection, customer onboarding and KYC requirements, interest rate regulations, or digital lending practices-may require modifications to our business model, operational processes, or technology systems. Such regulatory developments may also affect the availability and cost of funding, requiring continuous monitoring and adaptation of our operations. Compliance with evolving regulatory requirements may result in increased costs, operational constraints, or limitations on certain business activities, which could adversely impact our financial performance.
In addition, our business is sensitive to prevailing macroeconomic conditions in India. Factors such as economic growth trends, inflation levels, employment conditions, and overall consumer sentiment influence both the demand for credit and the repayment capacity of our borrowers. Adverse macroeconomic conditions may lead to increased credit risk, higher delinquencies, reduced loan disbursements, and increased provisioning requirements, which could negatively affect our profitability and financial condition. Conversely, periods of economic stability and growth may support improved borrower repayment behaviour and demand for credit. Further, macroeconomic factors such as changes in monetary policy, inflationary pressures, or fluctuations in interest rates may affect the broader funding environment, potentially impacting our cost of capital, liquidity position, and access to funding.
Competition The lending market in India is highly competitive and comprises banks, non-banking financial companies, fintech platforms, and other alternative credit providers operating across various customer segments. While banks and larger NBFCs cater to a broad customer base, certain borrower segments, particularly those requiring smaller ticket loans or faster credit access, continue to rely on non-banking financial institutions for their financing needs. This has resulted in increased competition among NBFCs and other lending participants seeking to expand their presence in these segments.
Our ability to compete effectively depends on several factors, including our credit appraisal capabilities, pricing of loan products, customer service standards, operational efficiency, and ability to manage portfolio quality. Increased competition may exert pressure on lending yields, borrower acquisition, and customer retention, and may require us to continually refine our product offerings and underwriting practices.
Further, competition may intensify as existing players expand their geographic reach or product offerings, and as new entrants seek to establish a presence in the lending market. Our continued focus on prudent credit assessment, effective risk management, customer relationship management, and operational discipline will be important in maintaining our competitive position. Any inability to respond effectively to competitive pressures may adversely affect our growth prospects, margins, and overall financial performance.

Excluding this reversal, our other expenses would have been ₹1,819.30 lakh as against ₹1,632.73 lakh in the previous year. The underlying increase is mainly on account of higher irrecoverable debt write-offs, as detailed in the preceding section of “Provision and write off. Key components are as follows:
a. Irrecoverable debts written off: ₹975.72 lakh for the year ended 31.03.2025 in comparison to ₹658.51 lakh during year ended 31.03.2025, The increase is mainly due to prudent adherence to RBI’s write-off norms, requiring timely derecognition of long-overdue and non-recoverable assets.

31.03.2024. The improvement in profitability is primarily driven by a reduction in total cost costs during the year mainly due to decrease in other expenses marginally set-off by increase in finance cost.
Profit/ (Loss) after Tax Profit after tax for the period ended 31.03.025 was at ₹147.97 lakh as compared to ₹45.48 lakh in previous year due to improvement in profitability and reduction total cost mainly due to decrease in other expenses marginally set-off by increase in finance cost.

The increase in Net Profit Margin from 1.80% in Fiscal 2024 to 5.91% in Fiscal 2025 was primarily attributable to a reduction in “Other Expenses”. As a percentage of Revenue from Operations, Other Expenses decreased to 58.55% in Fiscal 2025 from 64.65% in Fiscal 2024. In absolute terms, Other Expenses reduced to Rs. 1,466.49 lakhs in Fiscal 2025 from Rs.1,632.74 lakhs in Fiscal
2024.
The principal reason for the reduction in Other Expenses was the reversal of non-performing asset ("NPA") provisions amounting to Rs.342.05 lakhs in Fiscal 2025, as compared to the creation of NPA provisions of Rs. 70.06 lakhs in Fiscal 2024. The reversal was primarily attributable to a change in the policy for recognition of NPAs, which was approved by the Board of Directors 190pursuant to a resolution dated 03.03.2025.

PHASED IMPLEMENTATION OF UNIFIED PAYMENTS INTERFACE SEBI has issued UPI Circulars in relation to streamlining the process of public issue of equity shares and convertibles. Pursuant to the UPI Circulars, UPI has been introduced in a phased manner as a payment mechanism (in addition to mechanism of blocking funds in the account maintained with SCSBs under the ASBA) for applications by Individual Investors through intermediaries with the objective to reduce the time duration from public issue closure to listing from 6 Working Days to 3 Working Days. Considering the time required for making necessary changes to the systems and to ensure complete and smooth transition to the UPI Mechanism,
the UPI Circulars proposes to introduce and implement the UPI Mechanism in three phases in the following manner:
Phase I: This phase was applicable from January 1, 2019 until March 31, 2019 or floating of five main board public issues, whichever was later. Subsequently, the timeline for implementation of Phase I was extended till June 30, 2019. Under this phase, an Individual Investor would also have the option to submit the Application Form with any of the intermediary and use his/ her UPI ID for the purpose of blocking of funds. The time duration from public Issue closure to listing would continue to be six Working Days.
Phase II: This phase commenced on completion of Phase I, i.e., with effect from July 1, 2019 and was to be continued for a period of three months or launch of five main board public issues, whichever is later. Further, as per the SEBI circular No.
SEBI/HO/CFD/DCR2/CIR/P/2019/133 dated November 8, 2019, the UPI Phase II has been extended until March 31, 2020. Further still, as per SEBI circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2020/50 dated March 30, 2020, the current Phase II of Unified Payments Interface with Application Supported by Blocked Amount will be continued till further notice. Under this phase, submission of the Application Form by an Individual Investor through intermediaries to SCSBs for blocking of funds will be discontinued and will be replaced by the UPI Mechanism. However, the time duration from public Issue closure to listing would continue to be six Working Days during this phase.
Phase III: The commencement period of Phase III is notified pursuant to SEBI press release bearing number 12/2023 and as per the SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/TPD1/CIR/P/2023/140 dated August 09, 2023, where the revised timeline of T+3 days shall be made applicable in two phases i.e. (i) voluntary for all public issues opening on or after September 01, 2023; and (ii) mandatory 234on or after December 01, 2023. The issue will be made under UPI Phase III of the UPI Circulars.
The processing fees for applications made by UPI Bidders using the UPI Mechanism may be released to the SCSBs only after such banks provide a written confirmation, in compliance with the SEBI RTA Master Circular in a format as prescribed by SEBI, from time to time, and such payment of processing fees to the SCSBs shall be made in compliance with circulars prescribed by SEBI and applicable law. Accordingly, the Offer has been undertaken pursuant to the processes and procedures under UPI Phase III, subject to any circulars, clarification or notification issued by the SEBI pursuant to the T+3 Notification. The Offer shall be advertised in all editions of a widely circulated English national daily newspaper), all editions of a widely circulated Hindi national daily newspaper and Regional edition of a widely circulated in the regional language daily newspaper where our registered office is located), on or prior to the Bid/ Offer Opening Date and such advertisement has also been made available to the Stock Exchange for the purpose of uploading on their websites.
All SCSBs offering the facility of making applications in public issues are required to provide a facility to make applications using the UPI Mechanism. Further, in accordance with the UPI Circulars, our Company has appointed Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited as the Sponsor Bank to act as a conduit between the Stock Exchange and NPCI in order to facilitate collection of requests and/or payment instructions of the Individual Investors into the UPI mechanism.
Pursuant to the UPI Circulars, SEBI has set out specific requirements for redressal of investor grievances for applications that have been made through the UPI Mechanism. The requirements of the UPI Circulars include appointment of a nodal officer by the SCSB and submission of their details to SEBI, the requirement for SCSBs to send SMS alerts for the blocking and unblocking of UPI mandates, the requirement for the Registrar to submit details of cancelled, withdrawn or deleted applications, and the requirement for the bank accounts of unsuccessful applicants to be unblocked no later than one day from the date on which the Basis of Allotment is finalised. Failure to unblock the accounts within the timeline would result in the SCSBs being penalised under the relevant securities law. Additionally, if there is any delay in the redressal of investors’ complaints, the relevant SCSB as well as the Book Running Lead Manager will be required to compensate the concerned investor.
SEBI through its circular SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2022/45 dated April 05, 2022, has prescribed that all individual investors applying in initial public offerings opening on or after May 01, 2022, where the application amount is up to ₹5,00,000, shall use UPI. Individual investors bidding under the Non-Institutional Portion bidding for more than ₹2,00,000 and up to ₹5,00,000, using the UPI Mechanism, shall provide their UPI ID in the Bid- cum-Application Form for Bidding through Syndicate, sub-syndicate members, Registered Brokers, RTAs or CDPs, or online using the facility of linked online trading, demat and bank account (3 in 1 type accounts), provided by certain brokers.
The processing fees for applications made by Individual Investors using the UPI Mechanism may be released to the remitter banks
(SCSBs) only after such banks provide a written confirmation on compliance with SEBI Circular No:

In the event of the Offer Being Over-Subscribed, the Issuer may finalize the Basis of Allotment in consultation with the NSE (The Designated Stock Exchange). The allocation may be made in marketable lots on a proportionate basis as set forth hereunder:
• The total number of Shares to be allocated to each category as a whole shall be arrived at on a proportionate basis i.e., the total number of Shares applied for in that category multiplied by the inverse of the oversubscription ratio (number of Bidders in the category multiplied by the number of Shares applied for).
• The number of Shares to be allocated to the successful Bidders will be arrived at on a proportionate basis in marketable lots (i.e., Total number of Shares applied for into the inverse of the over subscription ratio).
• For Bids where the proportionate allotment works out to less than [●] Equity Shares of the face value of ₹5/- each the allotment
will be made as follows: • Each successful Bidder shall be allotted [●] Equity Shares of face value of ₹5/- each; and • The successful Bidder out of the total bidders for that category shall be determined by drawing lots in such a manner that the total number of Shares allotted in that category is equal to the number of Shares worked out as per (b) above.
2516. If the proportionate allotment to a Bidder works out to a number that is not a multiple of [●] Equity Shares of face value of ₹5/- each, the Bidder would be allotted Shares by rounding off to the nearest multiple of [●] Equity Shares of face value of ₹5/- subject to a minimum allotment of [●] Equity Shares of face value of ₹5/- each.
7. If the Shares allotted on a proportionate basis to any category is more than the Equity Shares allotted to the Bidders in that category, the balance available Shares or allocation shall be first adjusted against any category, where the allotted Shares are not sufficient for proportionate allotment to the successful Bidder in that category, the balance Shares, if any, remaining after such adjustment will be added to the category comprising Bidder applying for the minimum number of Shares. If as a result of the process of rounding off to the nearest multiple of [●] Equity Shares of face value of ₹5/- each, results in the actual allotment being higher than the shares offered, the final allotment may be higher at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, up to 110% of the size of the Issue specified under the Capital Structure mentioned in this Red Herring Prospectus.
Flow of events from the closure of Bidding period (T DAY) till Allotment: • On T Day, RTA to validate the electronic bid details with the depository records and also reconcile the final certificates received from the Sponsor Bank for UPI process and the SCSBs for ASBA and Syndicate ASBA process with the electronic bid details.
• RTA identifies cases with mismatch of account number as per bid file/ FC and as per applicant’s bank account linked to depository demat account and seek clarification from SCSB to identify the applications with third party account for rejection.
• Third party confirmation of applications to be completed by SCSBs on T+1 day. • RTA prepares the list of final rejections and circulates the rejections list with BRLM(s)/ Company for their review/ comments.
• Post rejection, the RTA submits the basis of allotment with the Designated Stock Exchange (DSE). • The DSE, post verification approves the basis and generates drawl of lots wherever applicable, through a random number generation software.
• The RTA uploads the drawl numbers in their system and generates the final list of allotees as per process mentioned below:
Process for generating list of allotees: - • Instruction is given by RTA in their Software System to reverse category wise all the application numbers in the ascending order and generate the bucket /batch as per the allotment ratio. For example, if the application number is 78654321 then system reverses it to 12345687 and if the ratio of allottees to applicants in a category is 2:7 then the system will create lots of 7. If the drawl of lots
provided by DSE is 3 and 5 then the system will pick every 3rd and 5th application in each of the lot of the category and these application (s) will be allotted the shares in that category. • In categories where there is proportionate allotment, the Registrar will prepare the proportionate working based on the oversubscription times.
• In categories where there is undersubscription, the Registrar will do full allotment for all valid applications. • On the basis of the above, the RTA will work out the allotees, partial allotees and non- allottees, prepare the fund transfer letters and advice the SCSBs to debit or unblock the respective accounts.
Individual Investor means an investor who applies for Minimum Application Size. Investors may note that in case of oversubscription, allotment shall be on a proportionate basis and will be finalized in consultation with NSE.
The authorized employee of the Designated Stock Exchange along with the Book Running Lead Manager and Registrar to the Issue shall be responsible to ensure that the basis of allotment is finalized in a fair and proper manner in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.

The name so entered should be the same as it appears in the Depository records. The signature of only such first Bidders would be required in the Bid cum Application Form/ Application Form and such first Bidder would be deemed to have signed on behalf of the joint holders. All payments may be made out in favour of the Bidder whose name appears in the Bid cum Application Form or the Revision Form and all communications may be addressed to such Bidder and may be dispatched to his or her address as per the Demographic Details received from the Depositories.

All communications will be addressed to the First Applicant and will be dispatched to his or her address as per the Demographic Details received from the Depository.
Multiple Applications An Applicant should submit only one Application (and not more than one) for the total number of Equity Shares required. Two or more Applications will be deemed to be multiple Applications if the sole or First Applicant is one and the same.
In this regard, the procedures which would be followed by the Registrar to the issue to detect multiple applications are given below: a) All applications are electronically strung on first name, address (1st line) and applicant’s status. Further, these applications are electronically matched for common first name and address and if matched, these are checked manually for age, signature and father/ husband’s name to determine if they are multiple applications.
b) Applications which do not qualify as multiple applications as per above procedure are further checked for common DP ID/ beneficiary ID. In case of applications with common DP ID/ beneficiary ID, are manually checked to eliminate possibility of data entry error to determine if they are multiple applications.
c) Applications which do not qualify as multiple applications as per above procedure are further checked for common PAN. All such matched applications with common PAN are manually checked to eliminate possibility of data capture error to determine if they are multiple applications.
d) In case of a mutual fund, a separate Application can be made in respect of each scheme of the mutual fund registered with SEBI 256and such Applications in respect of more than one scheme of the mutual fund will not be treated as multiple Applications
provided that the Applications clearly indicate the scheme concerned for which the Application has been made. e) In cases where there are more than 20 valid applications having a common address, such shares will be kept in abeyance, post allotment and released on confirmation of know your client’s norms by the depositories. The Company reserves the right to reject, in our absolute discretion, all or any multiple Applications in any or all categories.
After submitting an ASBA Application either in physical or electronic mode, an ASBA Applicant cannot apply (either in physical or electronic mode) to either the same or another Designated Branch of the SCSB. Submission of a second Application in such manner will be deemed a multiple Application and would be rejected. More than one ASBA Applicant may apply for Equity Shares using the same ASBA Account, provided that the SCSBs will not accept a total of more than five Application Forms with respect to any single ASBA Account.
Duplicate copies of Application Forms downloaded and printed from the website of the Stock Exchange bearing the same application number shall be treated as multiple applications and are liable to be rejected. The Company, in consultation with the BRLM reserves the right to reject, in its absolute discretion, all or any multiple applications in any or all categories. In this regard, the procedure
which would be followed by the Registrar to the issue to detect multiple applications is given below: i. All Applications will be checked for common PAN. For Applicants other than Mutual Funds and FII subaccounts, Applications bearing the same PAN will be treated as multiple Applications and will be rejected.
ii. For Applications from Mutual Funds and FII sub-accounts, submitted under the same PAN, as well as Applications on behalf of the Applicants for whom submission of PAN is not mandatory such as the Central or State Government, an official liquidator or receiver appointed by a court and residents of Sikkim, the Application Forms will be checked for common DP ID and Client ID.

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. The responsibility of granting approval for foreign investment under the Consolidated FDI Policy and FEMA has been entrusted to the concerned ministries/ departments.
The Government of India has from time to time made policy pronouncements on FDI through press notes and press releases. The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry (formerly Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion), Government of India (“DPIIT”) issued the Consolidated FDI Policy, which consolidates and supersedes all previous press notes, press releases and clarifications on FDI issued by the DPIIT that were in force and effect prior to October 15, 2020. Under the current FDI Policy, 100% foreign direct investment is permitted under the automatic route for NBFCs, subject to compliance with certain prescribed conditions.
The transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior approval of RBI, provided that: (i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the Consolidated FDI Policy and transfer does not attract the provisions of the SEBI Takeover Regulations, (ii) the non-resident shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the Consolidated FDI policy, and (iii) the pricing is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the SEBI/ RBI.
Further, in accordance with Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated 17.04.2020 issued by the DPIIT and the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Amendment Rules, 2020 which came into effect from 22.04.2020, any investment, subscription, purchase or sale of equity instruments by entities of a country which shares land border with India or where the beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country ("Restricted Investor"), will require prior approval of the Government, as prescribed in the Consolidated FDI Policy and the FEMA Rules. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future FDI in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction/ purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the Government. Furthermore, on 22.04.2020, the Ministry of Finance, Government of India has also made a similar amendment to the FEMA Rules. Each Applicant should seek independent legal advice about its ability to participate in the Issue. In the event such prior approval of the Government of India is required, and such approval has been obtained, the Applicant shall intimate our Company and the Registrar to the Issue in writing about such approval along with a copy thereof within the Issue Period.
