TATA CAPITAL LIMITED
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
TATA CAPITAL LIMITED
The Directors have pleasure in presenting their Annual Report and the Audited Statement of Accounts for the
year ended March 31, 2010.
1. BACKGROUND
Tata Capital Limited (the “Company” or “Tata Capital”), a subsidiary of Tata Sons Limited (“TSL”), is a
Non-Banking Financial Company (“NBFC”) registered with the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”) as a Systemically
Important Non Deposit Accepting NBFC. Tata Capital offers fund and fee-based financial services to its
customers and is a trusted customer-centric, one-stop financial services provider, catering to the diverse
needs of retail, corporate and institutional customers, directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries, across
various areas of business, namely Corporate Finance (which includes Commercial and Infrastructure Finance),
Consumer Finance & Advisory Business, Securities Business, Investment Banking, Private Equity, Housing
Finance and Travel related services.
Tata Capital is headquartered in Mumbai and has a wide network of physical touch-points spanning all
critical markets in India. The Company has, as on date, 112 such touch-points across India.
2. INDUSTRY AND ECONOMIC SCENARIO
2.1 Financial Year 2009-10
The Financial Year (“FY”) 2009-10 began with the backdrop of the financial crisis and the three main
pillars of the financial system viz. capital, liquidity and confidence, all badly impacted during
FY 2008-09. While in many ways the financial crisis had similarities to the US crisis of the 1920s and
Japan of the 1990s, the key difference this time around was that policy makers were swift to respond to
the crisis, using a combination of traditional and non-traditional measures.
While the impact of the global headwinds on growth were heavily debated at the beginning of the year,
it is worth noting the growing impact of the tailwinds in play. These include the co-ordinated response
to the crisis including monetary and fiscal stimulus as well as the collapse in commodity prices. Both
these factors enabled some recovery from the beginning of the second half of FY 2009-10.
The economy is now showing clear signs of a demand revival, as reflected in both macro and micro level
data. Latest trends in industrial production, non-oil imports and bank credit coupled with buoyant numbers
in auto and cement dispatches indicate that the momentum is picking up. With the Central Statistical
Organization pegging FY 2009-10 GDP Growth at 7.2%, India has the potential to revert to the 8-9%
growth path.
2.2 Outlook for Financial Year 2010-11
Loan growth, which had dipped to a 12 year low of 9.7% in October 2009, has been on an uptrend, with
the latest RBI / Ministry of Finance report showing growth of 15.1% year-on-year and is expected to be
in the range of 17% in FY 2010 -11. The 10 year government securities yield moved up from approx.
6.6% in March 2009 to over 8% in March 2010. With inflation breaching and sustaining at double-digits
and an expected aggressive tightening, yields may edge up to 8.5% levels. The hardening of interest
rates may be partially muted on account of a large captive demand for bonds and likely increase in
capital flows and the impact on liquidity.
The Union Budget 2010 was a balanced one with a realistic 5.5% deficit financing, indicating a clear
and quantified direction towards fiscal consolidation. Several structural reforms were announced as a
part of the budget, comprising revised revenue sharing norms between the Centre and States, streamlining
of subsidies and a hard time frame for implementation of Goods & Services Tax and Direct Tax Code.
19
Annual Report 2009 - 10
As a result of the improvement in risk appetite, pro investor budget and increase in FII flows, the rupee
appreciated significantly against the dollar, recording an increase of approx. 10% over the average
exchange rate that prevailed in the month of March 2009.
Overall, the forthcoming Financial Year provides both significant opportunity and challenges for the
Company. Return of corporate confidence will provide the Company, a platform to grow its loan book
and advisory businesses. The biggest challenge will be to ensure that the Company retains its best
people and manages interest cost and risk.

With a view to developing and implementing a long term incentive program to effectively attract, motivate
and retain the best talent from the industry in a competitive environment, the Members of the Company at
their Meeting held on March 2, 2010, approved a ‘Tata Capital Limited Employee Stock Purchase / Option
Scheme’ (“Scheme”), which was earlier approved by the Directors on February 1, 2010. The Scheme is,
inter alia, applicable to the present and future employees and Directors of Tata Capital, its subsidiary
companies and holding company (“Eligible Employees”). The Scheme is administered through the TCL
Employee Welfare Trust (“Trust”), acting through its Trustees, and provides for the issue and allotment to
the Trust of upto 6,35,00,000 equity shares of Tata Capital of Rs. 10 each (“Shares”) at the Fair Market
Value (“FMV”) of the Shares arrived at by an independent accounting firm. On March 26, 2010, 6,34,00,000
Shares of Rs.10 each were allotted by Tata Capital to the Trust, for the benefit of the Eligible Employees, at
the FMV of Rs.12 per share.
To enable the Trust to purchase the above Shares, the Company had on March 26, 2010, advanced an
interest free loan of Rs.69.03 crore to the Trust, acting through its Trustees, to be repaid by the Trust from
the proceeds of the Shares sold by the Trust in terms of the Scheme. The Eligible Employees of the
Company (other than the Managing Director), have been offered, in accordance with the provisions of the
Companies Act, 1956, interest free loans to enable such Eligible Employees to purchase the Shares
offered to them under the Scheme.
Based on the recommendation of the ESOP Committee, 1,47,79,061 Shares were offered for sale to the
Eligible Employees on March 27, 2010 at the Fair Market Value of Rs.12 per share. No shares out of the
above were acquired by the Eligible Employees as at March 31, 2010.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NOTES TO ACCOUNTS
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1 . Basis for preparation of accounts
The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention, on the
accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles and in
compliance with the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. Further, the Company follows the
Directions issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFC).
2 . Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the management of the Company to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and
disclosures relating to the contingent liabilities. Management believes that the estimates used in preparation
of the financials statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ from these estimates.
Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in the current and future periods.
Examples of such estimates include provisions for doubtful debts and advances, employee benefit plans,
provision for income taxes and provision for diminution in the value of investments.
3 . Revenue recognition
i . Income on Loan transactions
Income on loan transactions is accounted for by using the internal rate of return method. Consequently,
a constant rate of return on net outstanding amount is accrued over the period of the contract, except
that no income is recognised on non-performing assets as per the prudential norms for income
recognition issued by the RBI for NBFCs. Interest income on such assets is recognised on receipt
basis.
In respect of non-performing assets acquired from other NBFCs / Banks/ Companies, aggregate
collections in excess of the consideration paid on acquisition of the portfolio of assets is treated as
income.
Upfront / Processing fees collected from the customer for processing loans are primarily towards
documentation charges. This is accounted as income when the amount becomes due provided
recovery thereof is not uncertain.
Dealer subvention income and service charges are collected at the time of inception of the contract.
This is accounted over the tenure of the loan in the proportion of interest earned to total interest
receivable during the tenure of loan.
i i . Income from Current and Long-term Investments
Income from dividend on shares of corporate bodies and units of mutual funds is accounted on
accrual basis when the Company’s right to receive dividend is established.
Interest income on bonds and debentures is accounted on accrual basis.
Discount on investments, the difference between the acquisition cost and face value of debt instrument
is recognised as interest income over the tenor of the instrument.
Redemption premium on investments is recognised as income over the tenor of the investment.
i i i . Income from Advisory Services
Fees for financial advisory services are accounted based on stage of completion of assignments,
when there is reasonable certainty of its ultimate realisation / collection.

Leases are classified as operating lease where significant portion of risks and reward of ownership of
assets acquired under lease are retained by the lessor. Lease rentals for such leases are charged to
Profit and Loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Assets given on operating lease are capitalized at cost. Rentals received or receivable by the Company
are recognised in the Profit and Loss account on a straight line basis or systematic basis over the lease
term, provided recovery is not uncertain.
Assets given under finance lease are recognised as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment
in the lease. Lease rentals are apportioned between principal and interest on the internal rate of return
(‘IRR). The Principal amount received reduces the net investment in the lease and interest is recognised
as revenue.

has incurred the expenditure.
Loan processing charges and debenture issue expenses are amortised over the tenor of the loan/debenture
from the month in which the Company has incurred the expenditure.

The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees. Liability
with regard to gratuity fund (defined benefit retirement plan) is accrued based on actuarial valuation
conducted as on the balance sheet date. Similarly, the liability for long service awards which accrue to
employees over the period of service is also actuarially determined.
The Company provides for compensated absences benefit, which is a defined benefit scheme based on
actuarial valuation as at the balance sheet date conducted by an independent actuary.
Eligible employees receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined Contribution plan. Aggregate
contribution along with interest thereon is paid at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of
employment. Both the employee and the Company make monthly contribution to the Provident Fund
Trust equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee’s salary. The Company also contributes
to a government administered pension fund on behalf of its employees.
The interest rate payable by the trust to the beneficiaries every year is being notified by the government.

of the trust and the notified interest rate. Such shortfall is charged to Profit and Loss account in the period

6 . Employee benefits
Defined Contribution Plans
These are plans in which the Company pays pre-defined amounts to separate funds and does not have any
legal or informal obligation to pay additional sums. The Company offers its employees defined contribution
plans in the form of provident fund, family pension fund and superannuation fund. Provident fund and family
pension fund cover all regular employees while the contribution to superannuation fund is at the option of the
Employee. Contributions towards Superannuation are paid into a Superannuation fund. The Superannuation
fund is managed by independent agencies while Provident fund is internally managed. While both the employees
and the Company pay predetermined contributions into the provident fund, contributions into the family
pension fund and the superannuation fund are made by only the Company. The contributions are based on a
certain proportion of the employee’s salary.
The Company recognised a charge of Rs. 418 lakhs (Previous year Rs 345 lakhs) for provident fund and
family pension fund contribution and Rs 163 lakhs (Previous year Rs.147 lakhs) for Superannuation contribution,
in the Profit and Loss account.
Defined Benefits Plans
The Company offers its employees defined-benefit plans in the form of a gratuity scheme (a lump sum
amount). Benefits under the defined benefit plans are typically based on years of service and the employee's
compensation (generally immediately before separation). The gratuity scheme covers all regular employees.
Commitments are actuarially determined at year-end. These commitments are valued at the present value of
the expected future payments, with consideration for calculated future salary increases, using a discount
rate corresponding to the interest rate estimated by the actuary having regard to the interest rate on government
bonds with a remaining term that is almost equivalent to the average balance working period of employees.
Actuarial valuation is done based on "Projected Unit Credit" method. Gains and losses of changed actuarial
assumptions are charged to the Profit and Loss account.

3 . Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the management of the Group to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosures
relating to the contingent liabilities. Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the
financials statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ from these estimates. Any
revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in the current and future periods. Examples of
such estimates include provisions for doubtful debts and advances, employee benefit plans, provision for
income taxes and provision for diminution in the value of investments.

loss account in view of the announcement by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) which
requires the principle of prudence to be followed in accounting for such gains/losses on derivative instruments.

with cash flows estimated while purchasing the asset to ascertain default. In case of purchase of non-
performing assets, the Company follows the guidelines of RBI on purchase/sale of non-performing assets for
making provision against assets purchased.

enacted at the balance sheet date.

probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible timing differences can be utilised.

recognised only to the extent there is virtual certainty backed by convincing evidence that sufficient future
taxable income will be available against which deferred tax assets can be realised.

8 . Employee benefits
Defined Contribution Plans
These are plans in which the Group pays pre-defined amounts to separate funds and does not have any
legal or informal obligation to pay additional sums. The Group offers its employees defined contribution
plans in the form of provident fund, family pension fund and superannuation fund. Provident fund and family
pension fund cover all regular employees while the contribution to superannuation fund is at the option of the
Employee. Contributions towards Superannuation are paid into a Superannuation fund. The Superannuation
fund is managed by independent agencies while Provident fund is internally managed. While both the
employees and the Group pay predetermined contributions into the provident fund, contributions into the
family pension fund and the superannuation fund are made by only the Group. The contributions are based
on a certain proportion of the employee’s salary.
The Group recognised a charge of Rs. 485 lakhs for provident fund and family pension fund contribution and
Rs 181 lakhs for Superannuation contribution, in the Profit and Loss account.
Defined Benefits Plans
The Group offers its employees defined benefit plans in the form of a gratuity scheme (a lump sum amount).
Benefits under the defined benefit plans are typically based on years of service and the employee’s
compensation (generally immediately before separation). The gratuity scheme covers all regular employees.
Commitments are actuarially determined at year-end. These commitments are valued at the present value
of the expected future payments, with consideration for calculated future salary increases, using a discount
rate corresponding to the interest rate estimated by the actuary having regard to the interest rate on government
bonds with a remaining term that is almost equivalent to the average balance working period of employees.
Actuarial valuation is done based on “Projected Unit Credit” method. Gains and losses of changed actuarial
assumptions are charged to the profit and loss account.
