SECTION II : RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, in addition to the other
information contained in this Prospectus before making any investment decision relating to the NCDs. If any of the
following risks or other risks that are not currently known or are now deemed immaterial, actually occur, our
business, financial condition and result of operation could suffer, the trading price of the NCDs could decline and
you may lose your all or part of your interest and / or redemption amounts. Unless otherwise stated in the relevant
risk factors set forth below, we are not in a position to specify or quantify the financial or other implications of any
of the risks mentioned herein. The ordering of the risk factors is intended to facilitate ease of reading and reference
and does not in any manner indicate the importance of one risk factor over another.
This Prospectus contains forward looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Our Company’s actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward looking statements as a result of several
factors, including the considerations described below and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Investors are advised to read the following risk factors carefully before making an investment in the NCDs offered
in this Issue. You must rely on your own examination of our Company and this Issue, including the risks and
uncertainties involved.
Our results of operations are substantially dependent upon the level of our Net Interest Margins. Finance
and service charges, or interest income from our assets under financing activities, is the largest component
of our total income, and constituted 86.95% and 85.04% of our total income in fiscal 2009 and the nine
month period ended December 31, 2009, respectively. We provide loans at fixed rates of interest. As of
December 31, 2009, our assets under financing activities was Rs. 2,154,250.82 lacs. We borrow funds on
both fixed and floating rate basis. Volatility in interest rates can materially and adversely affect our
financial performance. In a rising interest rate environment, if the yield on our interest-earning assets does
not increase simultaneously with or to the same extent as our cost of funds, or, in a declining interest rate
environment, if our cost of funds does not decline simultaneously or to the same extent as the yield on our
interest-earning assets, our net interest income and net interest margin would be adversely impacted.
Additional risks arising from increasing interest rates, among others, include:
• increases in the rates of interest charged on various loans in our loan portfolio, which could result in
the extension of loan maturities and higher monthly installments due from borrowers which, in turn,
could result in higher rates of default;
• reductions in the volume of commercial vehicle loans as a result of clients' inability to service high
interest rate payments; and
• reduction in the value of fixed income securities held in our investment portfolio.
Accordingly, our operations are susceptible to fluctuations in interest rates. Interest rates are highly
sensitive and fluctuations thereof are dependant upon many factors which are beyond our control, including
the monetary policies of the RBI, de-regulation of the financial services sector in India, domestic and
international economic and political conditions, inflation and other factors. Difficult conditions in the
global and Indian economy resulting from the economic dislocations and liquidity disruptions of the credit
crisis since 2008 adversely affected the availability of credit. While credit conditions have eased in recent
months, decreased liquidity resulting from the economic downturn led to an increase in interest rates on
- xi -
loans provided by banks and financial institutions, and market interest rates in India have been volatile in
recent periods.
2. Our business requires substantial capital, and any disruption in funding sources would have a material
adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.
As an asset finance company, our liquidity and ongoing profitability are, in large part, dependent upon our
timely access to, and the costs associated with, raising capital. Our funding requirements historically have
been met from a combination of term loans from banks and financial institutions, issuance of redeemable
non-convertible debentures, public deposits, the issue of subordinated bonds and commercial paper, as well
as through securitization/assignment of our loan portfolio. Thus, our business depends and will continue to
depend on our ability to access diversified funding sources. Our ability to raise funds on acceptable terms
and at competitive rates continues to depend on various factors including our credit ratings, the regulatory
environment and policy initiatives in India, developments in the international markets affecting the Indian
economy, investors' and/or lenders' perception of demand for debt and equity securities of NBFCs, and our
current and future results of operations and financial condition.
Our funding strategy was adversely affected by the ongoing crisis in the global credit markets since 2008.
These adverse conditions reached unprecedented levels through the second half of 2008 and the first half of
2009. The capital and lending markets remained highly volatile and access to liquidity was adversely
affected. These conditions resulted in increased borrowing costs and difficulty in accessing funds in a cost-
effective manner. Changes in economic and financial conditions or continuing lack of liquidity in the
market could make it difficult for us to access funds at competitive rates. As an NBFC, we also face certain
restrictions on our ability to raise money from international markets which may further constrain our ability
to raise funds at attractive rates.
Any disruption in our primary funding sources at competitive costs would have a material adverse effect on
our liquidity and financial condition.
3. Our business is focused on commercial vehicle finance for new and pre-owned commercial vehicles and
any adverse developments in this sector would adversely affect our results of operations.
As we focus on providing financing for pre-owned and new commercial vehicles, our asset and NPA
portfolios have, and will likely continue in the future to have, a high concentration of pre-owned and new
commercial vehicle financing arrangements. Moreover, our customer base has, and will likely continue in
the future to have, a high concentration of FTUs and SRTOs. Our business is, therefore, entirely dependent
on various factors that impact this customer segment, such as the demand for transportation services in
India, changes in Indian regulations and policies affecting pre-owned commercial vehicles, natural disasters
and calamities, and macroeconomic environment in India and globally. Also, individual borrowers and
FTUs and SRTOs generally are less financially resilient than larger corporate borrowers or fleet owners,
and, as a result, can be more adversely affected by declining economic conditions. Such factors may result
in a decline in the sales or value of new and pre-owned commercial vehicles. Correspondingly, the demand
for finance for pre-owned and new commercial vehicles may decline, which in turn may adversely affect
our financial condition and the results of our operations. Further, the ability of commercial vehicle owners
and/or operators to perform their obligations under existing financing agreements may be adversely
affected if their businesses suffer as a result of the aforesaid factors.
Accordingly, since our business is not a diversified business, any factor which adversely impacts this
segment may have a disproportionate impact on our operations and profitability.
4. High levels of customer defaults could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Our primary business involves lending money to commercial vehicle owners and operators in India, and we
are subject to customer default risks including default or delay in repayment of principal or interest on our
loans. Customers may default on their obligations to us as a result of various factors including bankruptcy,
- xii -
lack of liquidity and operational failure. If borrowers fail to repay loans in a timely manner or at all, our
financial condition and results of operations will be adversely impacted.
In addition, our customer portfolio principally consists of SRTOs and FTUs with underdeveloped banking
habits, and individual borrowers generally are less financially resilient than larger corporate borrowers,
and, as a result, they can be more adversely affected by declining economic conditions. In addition, a
significant majority of our client base belongs to the low income group. The owners and/or operators of
commercial vehicles financed by us often do not have any credit history supported by tax returns and other
related documents which would enable us to assess their creditworthiness. In addition, 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 fraudulent misrepresentation on the part of our
customers. Furthermore, unlike several developed economies, a nationwide credit bureau has only recently
become operational in India, so there is less financial information available about the creditworthiness of
individuals, particularly our client segment who are mainly from the low income group and who typically
have limited access to other financing sources. It is therefore difficult to carry out precise credit risk
analyses on our clients. Although we follow certain procedures to evaluate the credit profile of our
customers at the time of sanctioning a loan, we generally rely on the referrals from the local trucking
community and value of the commercial vehicle provided as underlying collateral rather than on a stringent
analysis of the credit profile of our customers. Although we believe that our risk management controls are
sufficient, we cannot be certain that they will continue to be sufficient or that additional risk management
policies for individual borrowers will not be required. Failure to continuously monitor the loan contracts,
particularly for individual borrowers, could adversely affect our credit portfolio which could have a
material and adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
5. We may not be able to recover, on a timely basis or at all, the full value of collateral or amounts which
are sufficient to cover the outstanding amounts due under defaulted loans.
As a security interest for the financing facilities provided by us to our customers, the vehicles purchased by
our customers are hypothecated in our favor. The value of the vehicle, however, is subject to depreciation,
deterioration, and/or reduction in value on account of other extraneous reasons, over the course of time.
Consequently, the realizable value of the collateral for the credit facility provided by us, when liquidated,
may be lower than the outstanding loan from such customers. Any default in repayment of the outstanding
credit obligations by our customers may expose us to losses. Furthermore, in the case of a default, we
typically repossess the commercial vehicles financed and sell such vehicles through auctions. The
hypothecated vehicles, being movable property, may be difficult to locate or seize in the event of any
default by our customers. There can also be no assurance that we will be able to sell such vehicles provided
as collateral at prices sufficient to cover the amounts under default. In addition, there may be delays
associated with such process. A failure or delay to recover the expected value from sale of collateral
security could expose us to a potential loss. Any such losses could adversely affect our financial condition
and results of operations. Furthermore, enforcing our legal rights by litigating against defaulting customers
is generally a slow and potentially expensive process in India. Accordingly, it may be difficult for us to
recover amounts owed by defaulting customers in a timely manner or at all. The recovery of monies from
defaulting customers may be further compounded by the fact that we do not generally insist on, or receive
post dated cheques as security towards the timely repayment of dues from customers to whom we have
provided loans.
6. The Company is involved in certain legal proceedings for alleged contravention of certain State
legislations in India relating to “money lending” activities. Any unfavorable outcome in such
proceedings and the imposition of any additional restrictive statutory and/or regulatory requirements
may adversely affect our goodwill, business prospects and results of operations.
Certain criminal proceedings have been initiated against the Company and our Managing Director by the
State of Gujarat and the Inspector of Money Lenders, Gujarat in connection with the alleged contravention
of the Bombay Money Lenders Act, 1946, as amended (“BMLA”), before the Metropolitan Magistrate,
Ahmedabad. The complainants have, among other allegations, asserted that the conduct of our financing
business without the requisite license under the BMLA is in contravention of such legislation. Accordingly,
the complainants have sought to prosecute and penalize the Company and our Managing Director under
- xiii -
Section 34 of the BMLA. We filed an application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure,
1973 against the State of Gujarat and the Inspector of Money Lenders, Gujarat before the High Court of
Gujarat at Ahmedabad (“Quashing Application”), seeking to quash such criminal proceedings, and
seeking an order for the stay of such criminal proceedings during the pendency of the Quashing
Application. These proceedings initiated against the Company and our Managing Director, and the
application filed by the Company, are currently pending hearing and final disposition. Under the provisions
of the BMLA, any person who carries out the business of “money lending” (as defined therein) within the
states of Maharashtra and Gujarat without a valid license for such business under the provisions of the
BMLA or enters into any agreement in the course of business of money lending without a valid license, is,
on conviction, punishable (i) for the first offence, with imprisonment up to one year or a fine of up to
Rs.1,500.00 or both, and (ii) for a second or subsequent offence, with additional terms of imprisonment of
not less than two years, in the case of an individual, and with additional fine of not less than Rs.5,000.00, in
the case of a corporate entity.
The Company has also filed an appeal before the Supreme Court of India against an order dated November
18, 2009 passed by the High Court of Kerala in connection with a writ petition filed by the Company
challenging the action of the Commissioner of Commercial Taxes, Kerala, directing the Company to
register under the provisions of the Kerala Money Lenders Act, 1946, as amended (“KMLA”). The High
Court of Kerala, pursuant to the impugned order, had dismissed an appeal in connection with such writ
petition, thereby, among other matters, confirming such impugned order passed by the Commissioner of
Commercial Taxes, Kerala. The Supreme Court has granted a stay of the order passed by the High Court of
Kerala until final disposal of the appeal at the Supreme Court.
There can be no assurance that these proceedings will not be determined adversely to us or that penal or
other action will not be taken against the Company and/or any senior management party to such
proceedings. In the event of an adverse ruling in these proceedings, the Company may be required to
register as a money lending entity under the provisions of the BMLA and/ or the KMLA in order to carry
on its financing business, and will be required to comply with the provisions of such legislation with
respect to its business operations within the relevant States. There can also be no assurance that in the event
of such an adverse ruling, similar regulatory authorities in other States of India where we currently carry on
business or propose to carry on business in the future, will not require us to similarly register as a money
lending entity under, and comply with the provisions of, the respective State legislation. State legislation
may specify various terms and conditions that must be complied with in connection with money lending
activities, including the imposition of maximum interest rates that we may charge, and these maximum
interest rates may be significantly lower than the interest rates that we typically charge on our portfolio
against financing activities to our customers. If we are required to comply with such maximum interest rate
limits or any other restrictive provisions specified under such legislation, our interest income and net
interest margin may be adversely impacted. There can also be no assurance that other conditions and
restrictions under such legislation, if applicable to us, will not adversely affect the conduct of our
operations.
For further information relating to such proceedings, see “Pending Proceedings and Statutory Defaults”.
7. A large part of our collections are in cash and consequently we face the risk of misappropriation or
fraud by our employees.
A significant portion of our collections from our customers is in cash. Large cash collections expose us to
the risk of fraud, misappropriation or unauthorized transactions by our employees responsible for dealing
with such cash collections. While we have taken insurance policies, including fidelity coverage and
coverage for cash in safes and in transit, and undertake measures to detect and prevent any unauthorized
transaction, fraud or misappropriation by our representatives and officers, this may not be sufficient to
prevent or deter such activities in all cases, which may adversely affect our operations and profitability.
Further, we may be subject to regulatory or other proceedings in connection with any unauthorized
transaction, fraud or misappropriation by our representatives and employees, which could adversely affect
our goodwill.
- xiv -
8. Our significant indebtedness and the conditions and restrictions imposed by our financing arrangements
could restrict our ability to conduct our business and operations in the manner we desire.
As of March 31, 2010, we had outstanding secured debt of Rs. 1,517,248.07 lacs and unsecured debt of Rs.
328,742.89lacs, and we will continue to incur additional indebtedness in the future. Most of our borrowings
are secured by our immovable and other assets. Our significant indebtedness could have several important
consequences, including but not limited to the following:
• a portion of our cash flow may be used towards repayment of our existing debt, which will reduce
the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and
other general corporate requirements;
• our ability to obtain additional financing in the future at reasonable terms may be restricted or our
cost of borrowings may increase due to sudden adverse market conditions, including decreased
availability of credit or fluctuations in interest rates;
• fluctuations in market interest rates may affect the cost of our borrowings, as some of our
indebtedness are at variable interest rates;
• there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations if we are unable to service our indebtedness or otherwise comply with financial and
other covenants specified in the financing agreements; and
• we may be more vulnerable to economic downturns, may be limited in our ability to withstand
competitive pressures and may have reduced flexibility in responding to changing business,
regulatory and economic conditions.
Some of our financing agreements also include various conditions and covenants that require us to obtain
lender consents 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. Specifically, under some of our financing agreements, we require, and may be unable to obtain,
consents from the relevant lenders for, among others, the following matters: entering into any scheme of
merger; spinning-off of a business division; selling or transferring all or a substantial portion of our assets;
making any change in ownership or control or constitution of the Company; making amendments in our
Memorandum and Articles of Association; creating any further security interest on the assets upon which
the existing lenders have a prior charge; and raising funds by way of any fresh capital issue. Our financing
agreements also typically contain certain financial covenants including the requirement to maintain, among
others, specified debt-to-equity ratios, debt-to-net worth ratios, or Tier I to Tier II capital ratios that may be
higher than statutory or regulatory requirements. These covenants vary depending on the requirements of
the financial institution extending the loan and the conditions negotiated under each financing document.
Such covenants may restrict or delay certain actions or initiatives that we may propose to take from time to
time.
We have in the past failed to comply with certain covenants in our loan documents. However, there has
been no delay in repayment of principal amount, except on certain situations we have delayed repayment of
interest thereon. A failure to observe the covenants under our financing arrangements or to obtain necessary
consents required thereunder may lead to the termination of our credit facilities, acceleration of all amounts
due under such facilities and the enforcement of any security provided. Any acceleration of amounts due
under such facilities may also trigger cross default provisions under our other financing agreements. If the
obligations under any of our financing documents are accelerated, we may have to dedicate a substantial
portion of our cash flow from operations to make payments under such financing documents, thereby
reducing the availability of cash for our working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes.
Further, during any period in which we are in default, we may be unable to raise, or face difficulties raising,
further financing. In addition, other third parties may have concerns over our financial position and it may
be difficult to market our financial products. Furthermore, under the terms of certain of our financing
agreements, in the event of any default thereunder, the relevant lender is entitled to change the constitution
- xv -
of our Board, including, among other matters, the appointment of new directors and/or removal of any
existing Director of the Company. Any of these circumstances could adversely affect our business, credit
rating and financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, any such action initiated by our lenders
could result in the price of our NCDs being adversely affected.
9. We face increasing competition in our business which may result in declining margins if we are unable
to compete effectively.
We primarily provide vehicle finance loans to FTUs and SRTOs. Our primary competition historically has
been private unorganized financiers who principally operate in the local market. However, the significant
growth in the commercial vehicle finance segment in recent periods has resulted in various banks and
NBFCs increasing their focus on this sector, particularly for new commercial vehicle finance. In addition,
interest rate deregulation and other liberalization measures affecting the commercial vehicle finance sector,
together with increased demand for capital by FTUs and SRTOs, have resulted in an increase in
competition. The demand for commercial vehicle finance has also increased due to relatively lower and
affordable interest rates and the increased need for urgent borrowing or bridge financing requirements
which could result in our potential customers seeking alternative cheaper sources of funding.
All of these factors have resulted in us facing increased competition from other lenders in the commercial
vehicle finance sector, including commercial banks and other NBFCs. Our ability to compete effectively
will depend, to some extent, on our ability to raise low-cost funding in the future. Furthermore, as a result
of increased competition in the commercial vehicle finance sector, vehicle finance products are becoming
increasingly standardized and variable interest rate and payment terms and lower processing fees are
becoming increasingly common in the commercial vehicle finance sector in India. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to react effectively to these or other market developments or compete
effectively with new and existing players in the increasingly competitive commercial vehicle finance
industry. Increasing competition may have an adverse effect on our net interest margin and other income,
and, if we are unable to compete successfully, our market share may decline.
In addition, we intend to expand our operations to increasingly focus on equipment finance, particularly
construction equipment, and we face significant competition from most banks and NBFCs that are already
well established in this segment. If we are unable to compete effectively with other participants in the
commercial vehicle finance or equipment finance sectors, our business, future financial performance and
the trading price of the NCDs may be adversely affected.
10. We have in the past acquired, and may continue to acquire in the future, portfolios relating to various
credit and financing facilities from banks and other institutions on a non-recourse basis. If the
performance of such portfolios deteriorates, our business, financial condition and results of operations
may be adversely affected
We have in the past acquired, and may in the future continue to acquire, portfolios relating to various credit
and financing facilities from various originators including banks and other institutions, in the ordinary
course of our business.
Notably, pursuant to the terms of an Assignment Agreement dated December 22, 2009 (the Assignment
Agreement) between the Company, GE Capital Services India and GE Capital Financial Services
(collectively, the GE Entities), we have acquired with effect from December 24, 2009 from the GE Entities,
on a non-recourse basis, a certain portfolio of receivables in connection with certain loan facilities relating
to commercial vehicle loans and construction equipment loans (the GE Receivables), together with all
right, title and interest therein under the relevant underlying loan and security documents relating to the GE
Receivables as of November 28, 2009.
In recent years, we have experienced substantial growth. Our growth strategy includes growing our loan
book and expanding our customer base. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sustain our
- xvi -
growth strategy successfully or that we will be able to expand further or diversify our product portfolio. If
we grow our loan book too rapidly or fail to make proper assessments of credit risks associated with new
borrowers, a higher percentage of our loans may become non-performing, which would have a negative
impact on the quality of our assets and our financial condition.
We also face a number of operational risks in executing our growth strategy. We have experienced rapid
growth in our commercial vehicle finance business, our branch network has expanded significantly, and we
are entering into new, smaller towns and cities within India as part of our growth strategy. Our rapid
growth exposes us to a wide range of increased risks, including business risks, such as the possibility that a
number of our impaired loans may grow faster than anticipated, as well as operational risks, fraud risks and
regulatory and legal risks. Moreover, our ability to sustain our rate of growth depends significantly upon
our ability to manage key issues such as selecting and retaining key managerial personnel, maintaining
effective risk management policies, continuing to offer products which are relevant to our target base of
clients, developing managerial experience to address emerging challenges and ensuring a high standard of
client service. We will need to recruit new employees, who will have to be trained and integrated into our
operations. We will also have to train existing employees to adhere properly to internal controls and risk
management procedures. Failure to train our employees properly may result in an increase in employee
attrition rates, require additional hiring, erode the quality of customer service, divert management
resources, increase our exposure to high-risk credit and impose significant costs on us.
We have expanded our product portfolio to provide, in addition to pre-owned and new commercial vehicle
financing, financing for passenger commercial vehicles, multi-utility vehicles, three-wheelers and tractors,
ancillary equipment and vehicle parts finance, working capital loans for commercial vehicle operators, and
freight bill discounting. Furthermore, we intend to enter into certain new lines of business as part of our
growth strategy.
For example, we intend to further develop our equipment finance business, particularly for construction
equipment, through a wholly-owned subsidiary established for this purpose. We have limited experience in
these new lines of business which are partly targeted at a different customer segment, and may encounter
additional risks by entering into such new lines of business. We also intend to develop pre-owned
commercial vehicle hubs across India called "Automalls", through a wholly-owned subsidiary which has
been incorporated for this purpose, designed to provide a trading platform for the sale of pre-owned
commercial vehicles, showrooms for branded new and refurbished pre-owned commercial vehicles, as well
as commercial vehicles repossessed by financing companies. We intend to provide electronic advertising
and trading infrastructure in these "Automalls", and to utilize this platform for marketing of our financial
products.
We cannot assure that such diversification or expansion of operations will yield favorable or expected
results, as our overall profitability and success will be subject to various factors, including, among others,
our ability to obtain necessary statutory and/or regulatory approvals in connection with such proposed
business in a timely manner, our ability to effectively recruit, retain and motivate appropriate managerial
talent, our relative inexperience in the equipment finance sector and ability to compete with banks and
other NBFCs that are already well established in this market segment, as well as our ability to effectively
absorb additional infrastructure costs. There can also be no assurance that our proposed "Automalls" will be
successful in creating additional source of business for our financial products.
New businesses will require significant capital investments and commitments of time from our senior
management, there also can be no assurance that our management will be able to develop the skills
necessary to successfully manage these new business areas. Our inability to effectively manage any of
these issues could materially and adversely affect our business and impact our future financial performance.
13. We may experience difficulties in expanding our business into new regions and markets in India.
As part of our growth strategy, we continue to evaluate attractive growth opportunities to expand our
business into new regions and markets in India. Factors such as competition, culture, regulatory regimes,
- xvii -
business practices and customs and customer requirements in these new markets may differ from those in
our current markets, and our experience in our current markets may not be applicable to these new markets.
In addition, as we enter new markets and geographical regions, we are likely to compete not only with
other banks and financial institutions but also the local unorganized or semi-organized private financiers,
who are more familiar with local regulations, business practices and customs, and have stronger
relationships with customers.
If we plan to expand our geographical footprint, our business may be exposed to various additional
challenges, including obtaining necessary governmental approvals, identifying and collaborating with local
business and partners with whom we may have no previous working relationship; successfully gauging
market conditions in local markets with which we have no previous familiarity; attracting potential
customers in a market in which we do not have significant experience or visibility; being susceptible to
local taxation in additional geographical areas of India; and adapting our marketing strategy and operations
to different regions of India in which different languages are spoken. Our inability to expand our current
operations may adversely affect our business prospects, financial conditions and results of operations.
14. Any downgrade of our credit ratings would increase borrowing costs and constrain our access to capital
and lending markets and, as a result, would negatively affect our net interest margin and our business.
The cost and availability of capital is also dependent on our short-term and long-term credit ratings. Ratings
reflect a rating agency’s opinion of our financial strength, operating performance, strategic position, and
ability to meet our obligations. In relation to our long-term debt instruments, we currently have long term
ratings of CARE AA+ from CARE and AA (Ind) from FITCH. In relation to our short-term debt
instruments, we have also received short term ratings of F1+ from FITCH and P1+ from CRISIL. The
Secured NCDs proposed to be issued under this Issue have been rated ‘CARE AA+’ by CARE for an
amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs and ‘AA/Stable’ by CRISIL for an amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs vide
their letters dated April 19, 2010 and April 27, 2010, respectively and the Unsecured NCDs proposed to be
issued under this Issue have been rated ‘CARE AA’ by CARE for an amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs and
‘AA/Stable’ by CRISIL for an amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs vide their letters dated April 19, 2010 and
April 27, 2010, respectively.
Any downgrade of our credit ratings would increase borrowing costs and constrain our access to capital and
debt markets and, as a result, would negatively affect our net interest margin and our business. In addition,
downgrades of our credit ratings could increase the possibility of additional terms and conditions being
added to any additional financing or refinancing arrangements in the future. Any such adverse development
could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
15. If we are unable to successfully expand, maintain or leverage our partnership arrangements with private
financiers involved in commercial vehicle financing, our business prospects, results of operations and
financial conditions may be adversely affected.
Our partnership and co-financing arrangements with private financiers involved in commercial vehicle
financing across India is an integral part of our growth strategy. We enter into strategic partnership
agreements with private financiers ranging from individual financiers and small local private financiers,
including other NBFCs, to capitalize on their local knowledge, infrastructure and personnel base of our
partners in order to source new customers. Our franchising and co-financing arrangements include various
revenue-sharing arrangements at pre-determined amounts. For further information on our franchising and
co-financing arrangements, see “Our Business - Our Operations - Customer Origination - Partnership and
Co-Financing Arrangements with Private Financiers”.
There can be no assurance that our partners will faithfully comply with the procedural and other conditions
specified by us in connection with our arrangements with them in the context of customer origination,
credit appraisal process, loan administration and monitoring and any loan recovery processes, or that our
partners will not act in any manner that could adversely affect our reputation, brand, customer relationships
or business interests. For example, we have in the past experienced certain instances of fraud by certain of
our partners. There can also be no assurance that we will be able to leverage and benefit from our
partnership arrangements to effectively source a sufficient volume of new customers and business
- xviii -
commensurate to the revenue-sharing and other incentives provided to our partners under our arrangements
with them.
In addition, we may not be able to identify suitable private financiers in the future with whom we can
successfully partner through such arrangements, or in joint marketing and customer support activities, and
there can be no assurance that we will be able to ensure any level of success with such partnership
arrangements for any sustained period of time. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that there will not be
any dispute with such partners in the future. If we are unable to successfully expand, maintain or leverage
our partnership arrangements and relationship with our partners, our business prospects, results of
operations and financial conditions may be adversely affected.
16. If we are unable to manage the level of NPAs in our loan assets, our financial position and results of
operations may suffer.
Our Gross NPAs as a percentage of Total Loan Assets was were 2.14% and 2.43% as of March 31, 2009
and December 31, 2009 respectively, while our Net NPAs as a percentage of Net Loan Assets was 0.83%
and 0.67% as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2009, respectively. We cannot be sure that we will be
able to improve our collections and recoveries in relation to our NPAs, or otherwise adequately control our
level of NPAs in future. Moreover, as our loan portfolio matures, we may experience greater defaults in
principal and/or interest repayments. Thus, if we are not able to control or reduce our level of NPAs, the
overall quality of our loan portfolio may deteriorate and our results of operations may be adversely
affected. Furthermore, our current provisions may not be adequate when compared to the loan portfolios of
other financial institutions. Moreover, there also can be no assurance that there will be no further
deterioration in our provisioning coverage as a percentage of Gross NPAs or otherwise, or that the
percentage of NPAs that we will be able to recover will be similar to our past experience of recoveries of
NPAs. In the event of any further deterioration in our NPA portfolio, there could be an even greater,
adverse impact on our results of operations.
17. A decline in our capital adequacy ratio could restrict our future business growth.
We are required under applicable laws and regulations to maintain a capital adequacy ratio of at least
12.00% of our risk-weighted assets, consisting of both Tier I and Tier II capital. Our capital adequacy ratio
was 17.07% as of December 31, 2009, with Tier I capital comprising 12.15%. If we continue to grow our
loan portfolio and asset base, we will be required to raise additional Tier I and Tier II capital in order to
continue to meet applicable capital adequacy ratios with respect to our business. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to raise adequate additional capital in the future on terms favorable to us or at all, and
this may adversely affect the growth of our business.
18. As part of our business strategy we assign or securitize a substantial portion of our loan assets to banks
and other institutions. Any deterioration in the performance of any pool of receivables assigned or
securitized to banks and other institutions may adversely impact our financial performance.
As part of our means of raising and/or managing our funds, we assign or securitize a substantial portion of
the receivables from our loan portfolio to banks and other institutions. Such assignment or securitization
transactions are conducted on the basis of our internal estimates of our funding requirements, which may
vary from time to time. In fiscal 2007, 2008 and 2009, and in the nine months ended December 31, 2009,
we securitized/assigned assets of a book value of Rs. 285,979.49 lacs, Rs. 211,822.17 lacs, Rs. 312,498.40
lacs and Rs. 326,229.88 lacs, respectively. Any change in statutory and/regulatory requirements in relation
to assignments or securitizations by financial institutions, including the requirements prescribed by RBI
and the Government of India, could have an adverse impact on our assignment or securitization
transactions.
We are also required to provide a credit enhancement for the securitization/assignment transactions by way
of either fixed deposits or corporate guarantees and the aggregate credit enhancement amount outstanding
as on December 31, 2009 was Rs. 152,736.05 lacs. In the event a relevant bank or institution does not
realize the receivables due under such loan assets, such bank or institution would have recourse to such
- xix -
credit enhancement, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial
condition.
19. System failures or inadequacy and security breaches in computer systems may adversely affect our
business.
Our business is increasingly dependent on our ability to process, on a daily basis, a large number of
transactions. Our financial, accounting or other data processing systems may fail to operate adequately or
become disabled as a result of events that are wholly or partially beyond our control, including a disruption
of electrical or communications services.
Our ability to operate and remain competitive will depend in part on our ability to maintain and upgrade
our information technology systems on a timely and cost-effective basis. The information available to and
received by our management through our existing systems may not be timely and sufficient to manage risks
or to plan for and respond to changes in market conditions and other developments in our operations. We
may experience difficulties in upgrading, developing and expanding our systems quickly enough to
accommodate our growing customer base and range of products.
Our operations also rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other
information in our computer systems and networks. Our computer systems, software and networks may be
vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses or other malicious code and other events that could
compromise data integrity and security.
Any failure to effectively maintain or improve or upgrade our management information systems in a timely
manner could materially and adversely affect our competitiveness, financial position and results of
operations. Moreover, if any of these systems do not operate properly or are disabled or if there are other
shortcomings or failures in our internal processes or systems, it could affect our operations or result in
financial loss, disruption of our businesses, regulatory intervention or damage to our reputation. In addition,
our ability to conduct business may be adversely impacted by a disruption in the infrastructure that supports
our businesses and the localities in which we are located.
20. We may not be able to maintain our current levels of profitability due to increased costs or reduced
spreads.
Our business strategy involves a relatively high level of ongoing interaction with our customers. We
believe that this involvement is an important part of developing our relationship with our customers,
identifying new cross-selling opportunities and monitoring our performance. However, this level of
involvement also entails higher levels of costs and also requires a relatively higher gross spread, or margin,
on the finance products we offer in order to maintain profitability. There can be no assurance that we will
be able to maintain our current levels of profitability if the gross spreads on our finance products were to
reduce substantially, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
21. We face asset-liability mismatches which could affect our liquidity and consequently may adversely
affect our operations and profitability.
We face potential liquidity risks due to varying periods over which our assets and liabilities mature. As is
typical for NBFCs, a portion of our funding requirements is met through short-term funding sources such as
bank loans, working capital demand loans, cash credit, short term loans and commercial papers. However,
a large portion of our loan assets mature over a medium term. Consequently, our inability to obtain
additional credit facilities or renew our existing credit facilities, in a timely and cost-effective manner or at
all, may lead to mismatches between our assets and liabilities, which in turn may adversely affect our
operations and financial performance. Further, mismatches between our assets and liabilities are
compounded in case of pre-payments of the financing facilities we grant to our customers.
22. Our loan portfolio may no longer continue to be classified as priority sector advances by the RBI.
- xx -
The RBI currently mandates domestic commercial banks operating in India to maintain an aggregate 40.0%
(32.0% for foreign banks) of their advances or credit equivalent amount of off-balance sheet exposure,
whichever is higher as “priority sector advances”. These include advances to agriculture, small enterprises
(including SRTOs, which constitute the largest proportion of our loan portfolio), exports and similar sectors
where the Government seeks to encourage flow of credit for developmental reasons. Banks in India that
have traditionally been constrained or unable to meet these requirements organically, have relied on
specialized institutions like us that are better positioned to or exclusively focus on originating such assets
through on-lending or purchase of assets or securitized/assigned pools to comply with these targets.
In the event that any part of our loan portfolio is no longer classified as a priority sector advance by the
RBI, our ability to securitize our asset pool will be hampered, which may adversely affect our financial
condition and results of operations.
23. Any change in control of our Promoter may correspondingly adversely affect our operations and
profitability.
As of December 31, 2009, SCL holds 50.17% of the paid up share capital of our Promoter, Shriram
Holdings (Madras) Private Limited, and the remaining shares in Shriram Holdings (Madras) Private
Limited were held by certain strategic investors. Shriram Holdings (Madras) Private Limited holds 41.40%
of the paid up share capital of our Company. If SCL ceases to exercise control over our Promoter as a
result of any transfer of shares or otherwise, our ability to derive any benefit from the brand name
“Shriram” and our goodwill as a part of the Shriram group of companies may be adversely affected, which
in turn could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Any such change of control could also
significantly influence our business policies and operations.
24. The trade mark/service mark and logo in connection with the “Shriram” brand which we use is licensed
to us and consequently, any termination or non-renewal of such license may adversely affect our
goodwill, operations and profitability.
Pursuant to a license and user agreement dated November 28, 2003 between the Company and SCL
(formerly Shriram Financial Services Holdings Private Limited), we are entitled to use the brand name
“Shriram” and the associated mark for which we pay periodic royalty of 0.25% of the Company's total
gross income to SCL on a quarterly basis. In addition to the royalty, the Company agreed to pay a fee
equivalent to 0.1% of the total gross funds mobilized by SCL in relation to the Company's right to access
SCL's agent network and Chit subscribers. The royalties and fees shall accrue in favor of the licensor until
termination of the agreement.
This license agreement is valid until March 31, 2011. In the event such license and user agreement is
terminated or is not renewed or extended in the future, we will not be entitled to use the brand name
“Shriram” and the associated mark in connection with our business operations. Consequently, we will not
be able to derive the goodwill that we have been enjoying under the “Shriram” brand. We operate in a
competitive environment, and we believe that our brand recognition is a significant competitive advantage
to us. If the license and user agreement is not renewed or terminated, we may need to change our name,
trade mark/service mark or the logo. Any such change could require us to incur additional costs and may
adversely impact our goodwill, business prospects and results of operations.
Our Company has also made applications for the registration of brand names ‘AUTOMALL’ ‘NEW
LOOK’ AND ‘ONE STOP’ under various classes with the Registrar of Trademarks.
25. We have certain contingent liabilities which may adversely affect our financial condition.
As of December 31, 2009, we had certain contingent liabilities not provided for, including the following:
disputed income tax/ interest tax demand contested in appeals not provided for of Rs. 164.76 lacs, income
tax penalty of Rs. 349.86 lacs, demands in respect of service tax of Rs. 312.00 lacs, guarantees issued and
outstanding by the Company of Rs. 700.00 lacs. For further information on such contingent liabilities, see
Annexure VI to our Reformatted Summary Financial Statements. In the event that any of these contingent
liabilities materialize, our financial condition may be adversely affected.
- xxi -
26. We are involved in various legal and other proceedings that if determined against us could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We are currently involved in a number of legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.
These proceedings are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts and tribunals,
primarily relating to civil suits and tax disputes. For further information relating to certain significant legal
proceedings that we are involved in, see “Pending Proceedings and Statutory Defaults”.
An adverse decision in these proceedings could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
27. We may have to comply with strict regulations and guidelines issued by regulatory authorities in India.
We are regulated principally by and have reporting obligations to the RBI. We are also subject to the
corporate, taxation and other laws in effect in India. The regulatory and legal framework governing us may
continue to change as India’s economy and commercial and financial markets evolve. In recent years,
existing rules and regulations have been modified, new rules and regulations have been enacted and
reforms have been implemented which are intended to provide tighter control and more transparency in
India’s asset finance sector. Further, RBI may increase the minimum capital adequacy requirement for
deposit taking NBFCs such as us.
Compliance with many of the regulations applicable to our operations may involve significant costs and
otherwise may impose restrictions on our operations. If the interpretation of the regulators and authorities
varies from our interpretation, we may be subject to penalties and the business of our Company could be
adversely affected. There can be no assurance that changes in these regulations and the enforcement of
existing and future rules by governmental and regulatory authorities will not adversely affect our business
and future financial performance.
28. Our ability to assess, monitor and manage risks inherent in our business differs from the standards of
some of our counterparts in India and in some developed countries.
We are exposed to a variety of risks, including liquidity risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, operational risk
and legal risk. The effectiveness of our risk management is limited by the quality and timeliness of
available data.
Our hedging strategies and other risk management techniques may not be fully effective in mitigating our
risks in all market environments or against all types of risk, including risks that are unidentified or
unanticipated. Some methods of managing risks are based upon observed historical market behavior. As a
result, these methods may not predict future risk exposures, which could be greater than the historical
measures indicated. Other risk management methods depend upon an evaluation of information regarding
markets, customers or other matters. This information may not in all cases be accurate, complete, current,
or properly evaluated. Management of operational, legal or regulatory risk 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 future success will
depend, in part, on our ability to respond to new technological advances and evolving NBFC and vehicle
finance sector standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis. The development and
implementation of such technology entails significant technical and business risks. There can be no
assurance that we will successfully implement new technologies or adapt our transaction-processing
systems to customer requirements or evolving market standards.
29. Our Promoter has significant control in the Company, which will enable them to influence the outcome
of matters submitted to shareholders for approval, and their interests may differ from those of other
holders of Equity Shares.
As of March 31, 2010, Shriram Holdings (Madras) Private Limited, our Promoter, beneficially owned
approximately 41.40% of our share capital. See “Capital Structure”. Our Promoter has the ability to control
our business including matters relating to any sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the timing and
- xxii -
distribution of dividends and the election or termination of appointment of our officers and directors. This
control could delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the Company, impede a merger, consolidation,
takeover or other business combination involving the Company, or discourage a potential acquirer from
making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company even if it is in the
Company’s best interest. In addition, for so long as our Promoter continues to exercise significant control
over the Company, it may influence the material policies of the Company in a manner that could conflict
with the interests of our other shareholders. The Promoter group may have interests that are adverse to the
interests of our other shareholders and may take positions with which we or our other shareholders do not
agree.
30. Certain shareholders of our Promoter Shriram Holdings (Madras) Private Limited have rights to
nominate directors on our Board.
Pursuant to the Share Subscription Agreement dated February 2, 2006, as amended on September 12, 2008
(“Share Subscription Agreement”), Newbridge India Investments II Limited (“New Bridge”), which
currently holds 49.0% of the paid-up share capital of our Promoter Shriram Holdings (Madras) Private
Limited, is entitled to appoint two nominee directors on our Board. Furthermore, in the event that the size
of the Board is increased beyond 12 directors, New Bridge and the Founders (defined as R. Thyagarajan, T.
Jayaraman, A.V.S. Raja and Shriram Financial Services Holdings Private Limited, collectively) will each
be entitled to appoint three directors on the Board. In the event that any shareholder having a right to
nominate a director ceases to have such right, then the resulting vacancy shall be filled by the appointment
of independent directors. In addition, New Bridge, on the one hand, and the Founders, on the other hand,
are entitled to nominate an equal number of nominees on any committee of the Board.
Under the terms of such Share Subscription Agreement, certain reserved matters require the affirmative
vote and/or prior consent of the directors nominated by New Bridge and the Founders on our Board or any
committee thereof. These matters include, among others, any further issuance of any Equity Shares by the
Company; acquisition of the assets of any other business; creation of a joint venture or partnership, or
merger, demerger and consolidation or any other business combination; disinvestment in any subsidiary;
appointment, removal and revision of the compensation of key personnel; capital expenditure in excess of
Rs.30.00 lacs; any amendment to the memorandum or articles of association of the Company; any
amendment in the annual business plan of the Company; commencement of a new line of business; any
changes to material accounting or tax policies; recommendation of or declaration of dividend or
distribution of any kind; removal of the statutory or internal auditor; any bankruptcy, dissolution,
insolvency, recapitalization, reorganization, assignment to creditors, winding up and/or liquidation; an
increase or reorganization in the issued, subscribed or paid up equity or preference share capital; any
connected person transaction; any amendment, modification or cancellation of the trademark license
agreement (license and user agreement) between Shriram Financial Services Holdings Private Limited, as
licensor, and the Company for the use of the "Shriram" brand and associated logos. In the event that the
beneficial ownership of New Bridge in the Company, indirectly through our Promoter or directly, becomes
greater than that of the Founders, then the number of reserved matters requiring the affirmative vote of the
directors nominated by the Founders would be reduced; moreover, in such event, New Bridge shall also be
entitled to appoint and remove the managing director (whether designated as managing director, CEO,
COO or otherwise) and other key employees of the Company and of our Promoter.
As an exit mechanism, New Bridge may, at any time after expiry of two years from September 12, 2008,
require our Promoter to distribute the shares held by our Promoter in the Company amongst the Founders
and New Bridge in proportion to their respective holdings in our Promoter; in the alternative, New Bridge
may require the merger of our Promoter with the Company in order to effect such distribution. Moreover,
within two years from September 12, 2008, New Bridge is entitled to acquire controlling interest in our
Promoter from the Founders, subject to the payment of a call option price plus a control premium. The
Company, the Founders and our Promoter Shriram Holdings (Madras) Private Limited have agreed to
jointly and severally indemnify New Bridge in the event of any breach of the terms of such Share
Subscription Agreement. Drag along rights are also provided for in the Share Subscription Agreement.
After March 11, 2011 New Bridge is entitled, at any time to require the founders to sell all or part of the
latter's shares or warrants in the Company or in our Promoter. In the event that New Bridge does not accept
the purchase offer of a proposed purchaser as communicated by the Founders, New Bridge may in turn
- xxiii -
present the Founders with the terms of another purchase offer, which shall not provide for a lower purchase
price.
New Bridge and the Founders, pursuant to their rights under the Share Subscription Agreement and as
shareholders in our Promoter, may influence policies of the Company in a manner that could conflict with
the interests of our other shareholders. New Bridge and the Founders may have interests that are adverse to
the interests of our other shareholders and may take positions with which the Company or our other
shareholders do not agree.
We have entered into transactions with related parties, within the meaning of AS 18 as notified by the
Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006. These transactions include royalty paid to SCL pursuant
to the License and User Agreement dated November 28, 2003 between the Company and SCL in
connection with the use of the brand name "Shriram" and the associated mark, for which we pay periodic
royalty of 0.25% of the Company's total gross income to SCL on a quarterly basis. In addition to the
royalty, our Company agreed to pay an annualized fee to SCL equivalent to 0.1% of the total gross funds
mobilized by SCL for access to the database of agents and Chit subscribers. For further information on our
related party transactions please see the section titiled “Financial Information”. Such transactions may
give rise to current or potential conflicts of interest with respect to dealings between us and such related
parties. Additionally, there can be no assurance that any dispute that may arise between us and related
parties will be resolved in our favor.
32. Any failure by us to identify, manage, complete and integrate acquisitions, divestitures and other
significant transactions successfully could adversely affect our results of operations, business and
prospects.
As part of our business strategy, we may acquire complementary companies or businesses, divest non-core
businesses or assets, enter into strategic alliances and joint ventures and make investments to further our
business. In order to pursue this strategy successfully, we must identify suitable candidates for and
successfully complete such transactions, some of which may be large and complex, and manage the
integration of acquired companies or employees. We may not fully realize all of the anticipated benefits of
any such transaction within the anticipated timeframe or at all. Any increased or unexpected costs,
unanticipated delays or failure to achieve contractual obligations could make such transactions less
profitable or unprofitable. Managing business combination and investment transactions requires varying
levels of management resources, which may divert our attention from other business operations, may result
in significant costs and expenses and charges to earnings. The challenges involved in integration include:
• combining product offerings and entering into new markets in which we are not experienced;
• coordinating and combining administrative and other operations and relationships with third
parties in accordance with applicable laws and other obligations while maintaining adequate
standards, controls and procedures;
- xxiv -
33. The BSE has suspended the trading of our Equity Shares in the past.
Pursuant to an order dated December 18, 1998, issued by the BSE, the trading of our Equity Shares on the
BSE was suspended from December 21, 1998 to January 3, 1999 on account of alleged non-compliance
with clauses 15 and 16 of the listing agreement entered into with the BSE in connection with the listing and
trading of our Equity Shares.
Our failure to comply with the provisions of the listing agreements executed between our Company and the
stock exchanges where our securities are listed, in a timely manner or at all, may expose us to regulatory
proceedings and/or penal action.
34. Our success depends in large part upon our management team and key personnel and our ability to
attract, train and retain such persons.
Our ability to sustain our rate of growth depends significantly upon our ability to manage key issues such
as selecting and retaining key managerial personnel, developing managerial experience to address emerging
challenges and ensuring a high standard of client service. In order to be successful, we must attract, train,
motivate and retain highly skilled employees, especially branch managers and product executives. If we
cannot hire additional qualified personnel or retain them, our ability to expand our business will be
impaired and our revenue could decline. We will need to recruit new employees, who will have to be
trained and integrated into our operations. We will also have to train existing employees to adhere properly
to internal controls and risk management procedures. Failure to train and motivate our employees properly
may result in an increase in employee attrition rates, require additional hiring, erode the quality of customer
service, divert management resources, increase our exposure to high-risk credit and impose significant
costs on us. Hiring and retaining qualified and skilled managers are critical to our future, as our business
model depends on our credit-appraisal and asset valuation mechanism, which are personnel-driven
operations. Moreover, competition for experienced employees in the commercial vehicle finance sector
can be intense. While we have an incentive structure and an Employee Stock Option Scheme designed to
encourage employee retention, our inability to attract and retain talented professionals, or the resignation or
loss of key management personnel, may have an adverse impact on our business and future financial
performance.
35. We are exposed to fluctuations in the market values of our investment and other asset portfolio.
Recent turmoil in the financial markets has adversely affected economic activity globally, including in
India. Continued deterioration of the credit and capital markets could result in volatility of our investment
earnings and impairments to our investment and asset portfolio, which could negatively impact our
financial condition and reported income.
36. Our results of operations could be adversely affected by any disputes with our employees.
As of December 31, 2009, we employed over 12,823 full-time employees. Currently, none of our
employees are members of any labor union. While we believe that we maintain good relationships with our
employees, there can be no assurance that we will not experience future disruptions to our operations due to
disputes or other problems with our work force, which may adversely affect our business and results of
operations.
37. Our inability to obtain, renew or maintain our statutory and regulatory permits and approvals required
to operate our business may have a material adverse effect on our business.
We require certain statutory and/or regulatory permits and approvals for our business. In the future, we will
be required to renew such permits and approvals and obtain new permits and approvals for any proposed
operations. There can be no assurance that the relevant authorities will issue any of such permits or
approvals in a timely manner,- or at all, and/or on favorable terms and conditions. Failure by us to comply
with the terms and conditions to which such permits or approvals are subject, and/or to renew, maintain or
obtain the required permits or approvals may result in the interruption of our operations and may have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- xxv -
38. We are subject to supervision and regulation by the RBI as a deposit-taking NBFC, and changes in
RBI’s regulations governing us could adversely affect our business.
We are subject to the RBI’s guidelines on financial regulation of NBFCs, including capital adequacy,
exposure and other prudential norms. The RBI also regulates the credit flow by banks to NBFCs and
provides guidelines to commercial banks with respect to their investment and credit exposure norms for
lending to NBFCs. The RBI’s regulations of NBFCs could change in the future which may require us to
restructure our activities, incur additional cost or could otherwise adversely affect our business and our
financial performance.
The RBI, from time to time, amends the regulatory framework governing NBFCs to address, inter-alia,
concerns arising from certain divergent regulatory requirements for banks and NBFCs. Pursuant to two
notifications dated December 6, 2006, (Notifications No. DNBS. 189 / CGM (PK)-2006 and DNBS.190 /
CGM (PK)-2006), the RBI amended the NBFC Acceptance of Public Deposits (Reserve Bank) Directions,
1998, reclassifying deposit taking NBFCs, such as us. We are also subject to the requirements of the Non
Banking Financial (Deposit Accepting or Holding) Companies Prudential Norms (Reserve Bank)
Directions, 2007, issued by the RBI on February 22, 2007, as amended.
The laws and regulations governing the banking and financial services industry in India have become
increasingly complex and cover a wide variety of issues, such as interest rates, liquidity, securitization,
investments, ethical issues, money laundering and privacy. In some cases, there are overlapping
regulations and enforcement authorities. Moreover, these laws and regulations can be amended,
supplemented or changed at any time such that we may be required to restructure our activities and incur
additional expenses to comply with such laws and regulations, which could materially and adversely affect
our business and our financial performance.
Compliance with many of the regulations applicable to our operations in India and/or outside India,
including any restrictions on investments, lending and other activities currently being carried out by our
Company, involves a number of risks, particularly in areas where applicable regulations may be subject to
varying interpretations. If the interpretation of the regulators and authorities varies from our interpretation,
we may be subject to penalties and our business could be adversely affected. We are also subject to changes
in Indian laws, regulations and accounting principles and practices. There can be no assurance that the laws
governing the Indian financial services sector will not change in the future or that such changes or the
interpretation or enforcement of existing and future laws and rules by governmental and regulatory
authorities will not adversely affect our business and future financial performance.
39. Our insurance coverage may not adequately protect us against losses.
We maintain such insurance coverage that we believe is adequate for our operations. Our insurance
policies, however, may not provide adequate coverage in certain circumstances and are subject to certain
deductibles, exclusions and limits on coverage. We maintain general liability insurance coverage,
including coverage for errors or omissions. We cannot, however, assure you that the terms of our insurance
policies will be adequate to cover any damage or loss suffered by us or that such coverage will continue to
be available on reasonable terms or will be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large
claims, or that the insurer will not disclaim coverage as to any future claim.
A successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceeds our available insurance coverage
or changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of a larger deductible
or co-insurance requirement, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
40. The fund requirement and deployment mentioned in the Objects of the Issue have not been appraised by
any bank or financial institution.
- xxvi -
We intend to use the proceeds of the Issue, after meeting the expenditures of and related to the Issue, for
our various financing activities including lending and investments, subject to the restrictions contained in
the Foreign Exchange Management (Borrowing and Lending in Rupee) Regulations, 2000, and other
applicable statutory and/or regulatory requirements, to repay our existing loans and our business operations
including for our capital expenditure and working capital requirements. The Unsecured NCDs will be in the
nature of subordinated debt and will be eligible for Tier II capital and accordingly will be utilised in
acordnce with statutory and regulatory requirements including requirements of RBI. For further details,
please refer to the section titled “Objects of the Issue” beginning on page 91 of this Prospectus. The fund
requirement and deployment is based on internal management estimates and has not been appraised by any
bank or financial institution. Accordingly, the management will have significant flexibility in applying the
proceeds received by us from the Issue. Further, as per the provisions of the Debt Regulations, we are not
required to appoint a monitoring agency and therefore no monitoring agency has been appointed for this
Issue.
41. There are certain risks in connection with the Unsecured NCDs.
The Unsecured NCDs will be in the nature of subordinated debt and hence the claims of the holders thereof
will be subordinated to the claims of other secured and other unsecured creditors of our Company. Further,
since no charge upon the assets of our Company would be created in connection with the the Unsecured
NCDs, in the event of default in connection therewith, the holders of Unsecured NCDs may not be able to
recover their principal amount and/or the interest accrued thereoin in a timely manner, for the entire value
of the Unsecured NCDs held by them or at all. Accordingly, in such a case the holders of Unsecured NCDs
may lose all or a part of their investment therein. Further, the payment of interest and the repayment of the
prinicipal amount in connection with the Unsecured NCDs would be subject to the requirements of RBI,
which may also require our Company to obtain a prior approval from the RBI in certain circumstances.
42. Changes in interest rates may affect the price of our NCDs.
All securities where a fixed rate of interest is offered, such as our NCDs, are subject to price risk. The price
of such securities will vary inversely with changes in prevailing interest rates, i.e. when interest rates rise,
prices of fixed income securities fall and when interest rates drop, the prices increase. The extent of fall or
rise in the prices is a function of the existing coupon, days to maturity and the increase or decrease in the
level of prevailing interest rates. Increased rates of interest, which frequently accompany inflation and/or a
growing economy, are likely to have a negative effect on the price of our NCDs.
43. You may not be able to recover, on a timely basis or at all, the full value of the outstanding amounts
and/or the interest accrued thereon in connection with the Secured NCDs.
Our ability to pay interest accrued on the Secured NCDs and/or the principal amount outstanding from time
to time in connection therewith would be subject to various factors inter-alia including our financial
condition, profitability and the general economic conditions in India and in the global financial markets.
We cannot assure you that we would be able to repay the principal amount outstanding from time to time
on the Secured NCDs and/or the interest accrued thereon in a timely manner or at all. Although our
Company will create appropriate security in favour of the Debenture Trustee for the Secured NCD holders
on the assets adequate to ensure 100% asset cover for the Secured NCDs, which shall be free from any
encumbrances, the realizable value of the assets charged as security, when liquidated, may be lower than the
outstanding principal and/or interest accrued thereon in connection with the Secured NCDs. A failure or
delay to recover the expected value from a sale or disposition of the assets charged as security in
connection with the Secured NCDs could expose you to a potential loss.
44. If we do not generate adequate profits, we may not be able to maintain an adequate Debenture
Redemption Reserve, (“DRR”), for the NCDs issued pursuant to this Prospectus.
- xxvii -
Section 117C of the Act states that any company that intends to issue debentures must create a DRR to
which adequate amounts shall be credited out of the profits of the company until the debentures are
redeemed. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has, through its circular dated April 18, 2002, (“Circular”),
specified that the quantum of DRR to be created before the redemption liability actually arises in normal
circumstances should be ‘adequate’ to pay the value of the debentures plus accrued interest, (if not already
paid), till the debentures are redeemed and cancelled. The Circular however further specifies that, for
NBFCs like our Company, (NBFCs which are registered with the RBI under Section 45-IA of the RBI
Act), the adequacy of the DRR will be 50% of the value of debentures issued through the public issue.
Accordingly our Company is required to create a DRR of 50% of the value of debentures issued through
the public issue. As further clarified by the Circular, the amount to be credited as DRR will be carved out
of the profits of the company only and there is no obligation on the part of the company to create DRR if
there is no profit for the particular year. Accordingly, if we are unable to generate adequate profits, the
DRR created by us may not be adequate to meet the 50% of the value of the NCDs. This may have a
bearing on the timely redemption of the NCDs by our Company.
45. Any downgrading in credit rating of our NCDs may affect the value of NCDs and thus our ability to
raise further debts.
The Secured NCDs proposed to be issued under this Issue have been rated ‘CARE AA+’ by CARE for an
amount of upto Rs. 50,000 lacs and ‘AA/Stable’ by CRISIL for an amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs vide
their letters dated April 19, 2010 and April 27, 2010, respectively and the Unsecured NCDs proposed to be
issued under this Issue have been rated ‘CARE AA’ by CARE for an amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs and
‘AA/Stable’ by CRISIL for an amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs vide their letters dated April 19, 2010 and
April 27, 2010, respectively. The Issuer cannot guarantee that this rating will not be downgraded. The
ratings provided by CARE or CRISIL may be suspended, withdrawn or revised at any time by these
assigning rating agencies. Any revision or downgrading in the above credit rating(s) may lower the value of
the NCDs and may also affect the Issuers ability to raise further debt.
46. There is no active market for the NCDs on the WDM segment of the stock exchanges. As a result the
liquidity and market prices of the NCDs may fail to develop and may accordingly be adversely affected.
There can be no assurance that an active market for the NCDs will develop. If an active market for the
NCDs fails to develop or be sustained, the liquidity and market prices of the NCDs may be adversely
affected. The market price of the NCDs would depend on various factors inter alia including (i) the interest
rate on similar securities available in the market and the general interest rate scenario in the country, (ii) the
market price of our Equity Shares, (iii) the market for listed debt securities, (iv) general economic
conditions, and, (v) our financial performance, growth prospects and results of operations. The
aforementioned factors may adversely affect the liquidity and market price of the NCDs, which may trade
at a discount to the price at which you purchase the NCDs and/or be relatively illiquid.
We cannot assure you that the monies refundable to you, on account of (a) withdrawal of your applications,
(b) our failure to receive minimum subscription in connection with the Base Issue, (c) withdrawal of the
Issue, or (d) failure to obtain the final approval from the NSE for listing of the NCDs, will be refunded to
you in a timely manner. We however, shall refund such monies, with the interest due and payable thereon
as prescribed under applicable statutory and/or regulatory provisions.
Our business to a large extent depends on the continued growth in the automobile and transportation
industry in India, which is influenced by a number of extraneous factors which are beyond our control,
inter-alia including (a) the macroeconomic environment in India, (b) the demand for transportation
services, (c) natural disasters and calamities, and (d) changes in regulations and policies in connection with
- xxviii -
motor vehicles. Such factors may result in a decline in the sales or value of new and pre-owned CVs.
Correspondingly, the demand for availing finance for new and pre-owned commercial vehicles may
decline, which in turn may adversely affect our financial condition and the results of our operations.
Further, the ability of CV owners and/or operators to perform their obligations under existing financing
agreements may be adversely affected if their businesses suffer as a result of the aforesaid factors.
2. Increase in competition from our peer group in the CV finance sector may result in reduction of our
market share, which in turn may adversely affect our profitability.
Our Company provides loans to pre-owned and new CV owners and/or operators in suburban and rural
areas in India. Although, we are currently the largest asset financing NBFC providing CV finance*, we
have been increasingly facing competition from domestic and foreign banks and NBFCs operating in the
CV finance segment of the industry. Some of our competitors are very aggressive in underwriting credit
risk and pricing their products and may have access to funds at a lower cost, wider networks and greater
resources than our Company. Our financial condition and results of operations are dependent on our ability
to obtain and maintain low cost funds and to provide prompt and quality services to our customers. If our
Company is unable to access funds at a cost comparable to or lower than our competitors, we may not be
able to offer loans at competitive interest rates to our customers.
* Based on financial and non financial parameters for the financial year 2009 for selected NBFCs as
contained in the D&B Research Report, [Source: Dun & Bradstreet Research Report]
While our Company believes that it has historically been able to offer competitive interest rates on the
loans extended to our customers, there can be no assurance that our Company will be able to continue to do
so in the future. An increase in competition from our peer group may result in a decline in our market
share, which may in turn result in reduced incomes from our operations and may adversely affect our
profitability.
3. Our growth depends on the sustained growth of the Indian economy. An economic slowdown in India
and abroad could have a direct impact on our operations and profitability.
Macroeconomic factors that affect the Indian economy and the global economic scenario have an impact on
our business. The quantum of our disbursements is driven by the growth in demand for CVs. Any slow
down in the Indian economy may have a direct impact on our disbursements and a slowdown in the
economy as a whole can increase the level of defaults thereby adversely impacting our Company’s,
profitability, the quality of its portfolio and growth plans.
4. Political instability or changes in the government could delay further liberalization of the Indian
economy and adversely affect economic conditions in India generally, which could impact our business.
Since 1991, the Government has pursued a policy of economic liberalization, including significantly
relaxing restrictions on the private sector. There can be no assurance that these liberalization policies will
continue in the future as well. The rate of economic liberalization could change, and specific laws and
policies affecting financial services companies, foreign investment, currency exchange rates and other
matters affecting investments in Indian companies could change as well. A significant slowdown in India’s
economic liberalization and deregulation policies could disrupt business and economic conditions in India,
thus affecting our business. Any political instability in the country, including any change in the
Government, could materially impact our business adversely.
5. Civil unrest, terrorist attacks and war would affect our business.
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence, war or conflicts, particularly those involving India, as well as
the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Singapore and the European Union, may adversely
- xxix -
affect Indian and global financial markets. Such acts may negatively impact business sentiment, which
could adversely affect our business and profitability. India has from time to time experienced, and
continues to experience, social and civil unrest, terrorist attacks and hostilities with neighbouring countries.
Also, some of India’s neighbouring countries have experienced, or are currently experiencing internal
unrest. This, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Indian economy and in turn may adversely
affect our operations and profitability and the market for the NCDs.
6. Our business may be adversely impacted by natural calamities or unfavourable climatic changes.
India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia and other Asian countries have experienced natural calamities such
as earthquakes, floods, droughts and a tsunami in recent years. Some of these countries have also
experienced pandemics, including the outbreak of avian flu. These economies could be affected by the
extent and severity of such natural disasters and pandemics which could ,in turn affect the financial services
sector of which our Company is a part. Prolonged spells of abnormal rainfall, draught and other natural
calamities could have an adverse impact on the economy, which could in turn adversely affect our business
and the price of our NCDs.
7. Any downgrading of India's sovereign rating by an international rating agency(ies) may affect our
business and our liquidity to a great extent.
Any adverse revision to India's credit rating for domestic and international debt by international rating
agencies may adversely impact our ability to raise additional finances at favourable interest rates and other
commercial terms. This could have an adverse effect on our growth, financial performance and our
operations.
PROMINENT NOTES
1. This is a public issue of NCDs by our Company aggregating upto Rs. 25,000 lacs with an option to retain

Impersonation
As a matter of abundant precaution, attention of the investors is specifically drawn to the provisions of sub-section (1) of
section 68A of the Act, relating to punishment for fictitious applications.
Minimum Subscription
If our Company does not receive the minimum subscription of 75 % of the Base Issue, i.e. Rs. 18,750 lacs, prior to
allotment, the entire subscription shall be refunded to the applicants within 30 days from the date of closure of the Issue.
If there is delay in the refund of subscription by more than 8 days after our Company becomes liable to pay the
subscription amount, our Company will pay interest for the delayed period, at rates prescribed under sub-sections (2) and
(2A) of Section 73 of the Companies Act, 1956.
The Secured NCDs proposed to be issued under this Issue have been rated ‘CARE AA+’ for an amount of upto Rs.
50,000 Lacs and the Unsecured NCDs proposed to be issued under this Issue have been ‘CARE AA’ by CARE for an
amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs vide their letter dated April 19, 2010. The rating of the Secured NCDs as well as the
Unsecured NCDs by CARE indicates high safety for timely servicing of debt obligations and carrying low credit risk.
The rationale for the aforementioned credit ratings issued by CARE is as follows:
“The rating factors in STFCL’s dominant position and almost three decades of experience in the pre-owned commercial
vehicle (CV) financing segment, its overall healthy profitability parameters, its strong resource raising capabilities, and
its proactive and experienced management. The rating is however constrained by STFCL’s concentration in a single
asset class and the underlying industry risk linked with its target customer segment of Small Truck Operators, which may
be relatively more vulnerable to an economic downturn.
STFCL’s ability to maintain the asset quality of its portfolio, which has grown rapidly in recent years, timely infusion of
additional capital to fuel growth and maintaining its spreads would remain key rating sensitivities.”
Disclaimer
CARE’s ratings are opinions on credit quality and are not recommendations to sanction, renew, disburse or recall the
concerned bank facilities or to buy, sell or hold any security. CARE has based its ratings on information obtained from
sources believed by it to be accurate and reliable. CARE does not, however, guarantee the accuracy, adequacy, or
completeness of any information and is not responsible for any errors or omissions or for the results obtained from the
use of such information. Most entities whose bank facilities/instruments are rated by CARE have paid a credit rating fee,
based on the amount and type of bank facilities/instruments.
The Secured NCDs and the Unsecured NCDs proposed to be issued under this Issue have both been rated ‘AA/Stable’
each for an amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs by CRISIL vide their letter dated April 27, 2010. The rating of the Secured
NCDs as well as the Unsecured NCDs by CRISIL indicates high degree of safety with regard to timely payment of
interest and principal on the instrument. The rationale for the aforementioned credit ratings issued by CRISIL is as
follows:
- 42 -
The ratings reflect STFCL’s strong market position in the pre-owned commercial vehicle (CV) finance segment, healthy
capitalisation, stable asset quality, and healthy earnings profile. These rating strengths are partially offset by the
company’s average, though improving, resource profile, and limited diversity in its business profile.
STFCL is a major player in the domestic CV finance segment, with assets under management of Rs.282 billion as on
December 31, 2009. It is the leader in the pre-owned CV finance segment, with a market share of around 25 per cent.
STFCL has also improved its market position in the new CV finance segment, with a current market share of around 8
per cent. The company lends predominantly to the single road transport operator (SRTO) segment, which accounts for
more than 95 per cent of its outstanding portfolio.
STFCL is strongly capitalised; as on December 31, 2009, it had a large net worth of Rs.31 billion, and a capital
adequacy ratio (CAR), as a proportion of risk-weighted assets, of 17 per cent. While STFCL has large growth plans and
had a gearing of 7.3 times as on December 31, 2009, CRISIL expects STFCL to maintain its healthy capitalisation given
its ability to access the equity markets. Furthermore, STFCL has a sound earnings profile, supported by its focus on the
high-yield SRTO segment, and a steady improvement in its operating efficiency ratio. The company’s profits have grown
significantly in the past few years; the return on assets (RoA, annualised) stood at 3.1 per cent for the nine-month
period, April to December 2009. STFCL has also maintained its stable asset quality, supported by its well-established
origination, valuation, and collection mechanisms aligned to the prevailing business practices in the SRTO segment. The
company’s gross nonperforming assets (NPAs), at 2.4 per cent as on December 31, 2009, as against 2.2 per cent as on
March 31, 2009, compares well with the industry average levels in the CV finance segment.
However, STFCL’s resource profile is average; while its cost of funds is estimated to decline in 2009-10 (refers to
financial year, April 1 to March 31) from that in 2008-09, it will remain higher than that of its peers. This is because the
company is largely dependent on wholesale borrowings; borrowings from banks and financial institutions constituted
around 86 per cent of its total borrowings as on December 31, 2009. The company, however, is expected to diversify its
funding profile gradually with issuances of retail non-convertible debentures and higher loan assignment
transactions. STFCL’s business continues to be highly dependent on the CV finance market, which is cyclical and
intensely competitive, with entryof players likely to add to pricing and yield pressures.

Our Strengths
We are the largest asset financing NBFCs, with particular focus on financing pre-owned commercial vehicles*. We
primarily cater to FTUs and SRTOs and we believe we are among the leading financing institutions in the organized
sector in this particular segment. Our widespread network of 482 branches across India as of December 31, 2009 enables
us to access a large customer base including in most major and minor commercial vehicle hubs along various road
transportation routes in India. We believe that our widespread branch network enables us to service and support our
existing customers from proximate locations which provide customers easy access to our services. We have also
strategically expanded our marketing and customer origination network by entering into partnership and co-financing
arrangements with private financiers involved in commercial vehicle financing. We believe our relationship with these
partners is a critical factor in sourcing new customers and enhancing reach and penetration at low upfront capital cost.
The relationships we have developed with our customers provide us with opportunities for repeat business and to cross
sell our other products as well as derive benefit from customer referrals.
* Based on financial and non financial parameters for the financial year 2009 for selected NBFCs as contained in the
D&B Research Report, [Source: Dun & Bradstreet Research Report]
Our Assets Under Management as of December 31, 2009*, was Rs. 2,816,909.42 lacs (comprising Assets Under
Management in the books of the Company of Rs. 2,154,258.75 lacs, loan assets securitized /assigned of Rs. 662,623.83
- 46 -
lacs and portfolio managed by the Company* of Rs. 26.84lacs). This is supported by a strong capital base, with share
capital of Rs. 21,279.86 lacs and reserves and surplus of Rs. 286,716.43 lacs as of December 31, 2009. Our capital
adequacy ratio as of December 31, 2009 was 17.07%, compared to the RBI stipulated minimum requirement of 12.00%.
Our Tier 1 capital as of December 31, 2009 was Rs. 285,727.21 lacs.
* Please note these figures are based on certificates provided by the management.
Our Assets under Management as on May 5, 2010 is Rs. 30,052.63 crore, including assets in the books of our Company
of Rs. 19,253.93 crore and loan assets securitised/assigned of Rs. 10,798.70 crore.
We fund our capital requirements through a variety of sources. Our fund requirements are currently predominantly
sourced through term loans from banks, issue of redeemable non-convertible debentures, and cash credit from banks
including working capital loans. We access funds from a number of credit providers, including nationalized banks,
private Indian banks and foreign banks, and our track record of prompt debt servicing has allowed us to establish and
maintain strong relationships with these financial institutions. We also place commercial paper and access inter-
corporate deposits. As a deposit-taking NBFC, we are also able to mobilize retail fixed deposits at competitive rates. We
have also raised subordinated loans eligible for Tier II capital. We undertake securitization/assignment transactions to
increase our capital adequacy ratio, increase the efficiency of our loan portfolio and as a cost effective source of funds.
In relation to our long-term debt instruments, we currently have ratings of CARE AA+ from Credit Analysis and
Research Ltd. (“CARE”) and AA (Ind) from FITCH. In relation to our short-term debt instruments, we have also
received ratings of F1+ from FITCH and P1+ from CRISIL. We believe that we have been able to achieve a relatively
stable cost of funds despite the difficult conditions in the global and Indian economy in fiscal 2008 and 2009 and the
resultant reduced liquidity and an increase in interest rates, primarily due to our improved credit ratings, effective
treasury management, and innovative fund raising programs. We believe we are able to borrow from a range of sources
at competitive rates. The Secured NCDs proposed to be issued under this Issue have been rated ‘CARE AA+’ by CARE
for an amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs and ‘AA/Stable’ by CRISIL for an amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs vide their
letters dated April 19, 2010 and April 27, 2010, respectively and the Unsecured NCDs proposed to be issued under this
Issue have been rated ‘CARE AA’ by CARE for an amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs and ‘AA/Stable’ by CRISIL for an
amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs vide their letters dated April 19, 2010 and April 27, 2010, respectively. The rating of
the Secured NCDs as well as the Unsecured NCDs by CARE indicates high safety for timely servicing of debt
obligations and carrying low credit risk while the rating of the Secured NCDs as well as the Unsecured NCDs by
CRISIL indicates stability.The ratings provided by CARE and/or CRISIL may be suspended, withdrawn or revised at
any time by the assigning rating agency and should be evaluated independently of any other rating.
The RBI currently mandates domestic commercial banks operating in India to maintain an aggregate of 40.00% (32.00%
for foreign banks) of their advances or credit equivalent amount of off-balance sheet exposure, whichever is higher as
“priority sector advances”. These include advances to agriculture, small enterprises (including SRTOs, which constitute
the largest proportion of our loan portfolio), exports and similar sectors where the Government seeks to encourage flow
of credit for developmental reasons. Banks in India that have traditionally been constrained or unable to meet these
requirements organically, have relied on specialized institutions like us that are better positioned to or exclusively focus
on originating such assets through on-lending or purchase of assets or securitized/assigned pools to comply with these
targets. Our securitized/assigned asset pools are particularly attractive to these banks as such transactions provide them
with an avenue to increase their asset base through low cost investments and limited risk. Majority of our loan portfolio
being classified as priority sector lending also enables us to negotiate competitive interest rates with banks and other
financial institutions. In fiscal 2008 and 2009, the total book value of loan assets securitized/assigned was Rs.
211,822.17 lacs and Rs. 312,498.40 lacs, respectively. In the nine months ended December 31, 2009, the total book value
of loan assets securitized/assigned was Rs. 326,229.88 lacs.
We primarily cater to FTUs and SRTOs and we believe we are the only financing institution in the organized sector
providing finance to FTUs and SRTOs in the pre-owned commercial vehicle finance segment. Most of our customers are
not a focus segment for banks or other NBFCs as these customers lack substantial credit history and other financial
documentation on which many of such financial institutions rely to identify and target new customers. As the market for

commercial vehicle financing, especially the pre-owned commercial vehicle financing, is fragmented, we believe our
credit evaluation techniques, relationship based approach, extensive branch network and strong valuation skills make our
business model unique and sustainable as compared to other financiers. In particular, our internally-developed valuation
methodology requires deep knowledge and practical experience developed over a period of time, and we believe this is a
key strength that is difficult to replicate. We provide finance to pre-owned commercial vehicle operators at favourable
interest rates and repayment terms as compared to private financiers in the unorganized sector.
Our retail focus, stringent credit policies and relationship based model has helped us maintain relatively low NPA levels.
Our Gross NPAs as a percentage of Total Loan Assets were 2.14% and 2.43% as of March 31, 2009 and December 31,
2009 respectively. Our Net NPAs as a percentage of Net Loan Assets was 0.83% and 0.67% as of March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2009, respectively.
We believe that the "Shriram" brand is well established in commercial vehicle financing throughout India. We believe
that we are the only organized sector financing company with particular focus on the pre-owned commercial vehicle
financing segment to FTUs and SRTOs in India. Our targeted focus on and the otherwise fragmented nature of this
market segment, our widespread branch network, particularly in commercial vehicle hubs across India, as well as our
large customer base has enabled us to build a strong brand. Our efficient credit approval procedures, credit delivery
process and relationship-based loan administration and monitoring methodology have also aided in increasing customer
loyalty and earn repeat business and customer referrals.
We have developed a unique business model that addresses the needs of a specific market segment with increasing
demand. We focus on closely monitoring our assets and borrowers through product executives who develop long-term
relationships with commercial vehicle operators, which enables us to capitalize on local knowledge. We follow stringent
credit policies, including limits on customer exposure, to ensure the asset quality of our loans and the security provided
for such loans. Further, we have nurtured a culture of accountability by making our product executives responsible for
loan administration and monitoring as well as recovery of the loans they originate.
Extensive expertise in asset valuation is a pre-requisite for any NBFC providing loans for pre-owned assets. Over the
years, we have developed expertise in valuing pre-owned vehicles, which enables us to accurately determine a
recoverable loan amount for commercial vehicle purchases. We believe a tested valuation technique for these assets is a
crucial entry barrier for others seeking to enter our market segment. Furthermore, our entire recovery and collection
operation is administered in-house and we do not outsource loan recovery and collection operations. We believe that our
loan recovery procedure is particularly well-suited to our target market in the commercial vehicle financing industry, as
reflected by our high loan recovery ratios compared to others in the financial services industry, and we believe that this
knowledge and relationship based recovery procedure is difficult to replicate in the short to medium term.
Our Board consists of 10 Directors, including representatives of Newbridge India Investments II Ltd (TPG Group) , with
extensive experience in the automotive and/or financial services sectors. Our senior and middle management personnel
have significant experience and in-depth industry knowledge and expertise. Most of our senior management team has
grown with the Company and have more than 15 years experience with us. Our management promotes a result-oriented
culture that rewards our employees on the basis of merit. In order to strengthen our credit appraisal and risk management
systems, and to develop and implement our credit policies, we have hired a number of senior managers who have
extensive experience in the Indian banking and financial services sector and in specialized lending finance firms
providing loans to retail customers.. We believe that the in-depth industry knowledge and loyalty of our management and
professionals provide us with a distinct competitive advantage.
Our Strategies
- 48 -
Further expand operations by growing our branch network and increasing partnership and co-financing
arrangements with private financiers
We intend to continue to strategically expand our operations in target markets that are large commercial vehicle hubs by
establishing additional branches. Our marketing and customer origination and servicing efforts strategically focus on
building long term relationships with our customers and address specific issues and local business requirements of
potential customers in a particular region. We also intend to increase our operations in certain regions in India where we
historically had relatively limited operations, such as in eastern and northern parts of India, and to further consolidate our
position and operations in western and southern parts of India.
The pre-owned commercial vehicle financing industry in India is dominated by private financiers in the unorganized
sector. We intend to continue to strategically expand our marketing and customer origination network by entering into
partnership and co-financing arrangements with private financiers across India involved in commercial vehicle financing.
In view of the personnel-intensive requirements of our operations, we continue to focus on growing our business by
increasingly relying on partnership arrangements to effectively leverage the local knowledge, infrastructure and
personnel base of our partners.
Introduce innovative marketing and sales initiatives and build our brand to further grow market share
We continue to develop innovative marketing and customer origination initiatives specifically targeted at FTUs and
SRTOs. For example, we organize "Truck Bazaars" in several commercial vehicle hubs in India every month.
Customarily the sale and purchase of pre-owned commercial vehicles is made through brokers or intermediaries, with
limited transparency and access to information and suitable opportunities. At our Truck Bazaars, we provide a
comprehensive platform for access to information about pre-owned commercial vehicles available for purchase and sale,
a venue for transporters to buy and sell pre-owned commercial vehicles directly without the intervention of brokers, and
a facility for providing advisory services for a fee on such transactions, together with access to our financing products.
This initiative enables us to develop long standing relationships with repeat customers, and provides us with
opportunities to generate new business. These programs provide a platform to increase our brand awareness and enable
us to promote our financing products.
We also intend to develop pre-owned commercial vehicle hubs across India called "Automalls", through a wholly-owned
subsidiary incorporated for this purpose, designed to provide a trading platform for the sale of pre-owned commercial
vehicles, showrooms for branded new and refurbished pre-owned commercial vehicles manufactured by various
manufacturers, as well as commercial vehicles repossessed by financing companies. Through our Automalls, we intend
to set up a one-stop shop catering to the various needs of commercial vehicle owners, including through the provision of
workshop facilities. We intend to provide electronic advertising and trading infrastructure in these Automalls, such as
touch-screen kiosks, through which customers will be able to access real-time information on pre-owned vehicles
available for sale. These electronic touch-screen kiosk facilities, which will also be installed in our branches, will
eventually replace our physical Truck Bazaar events. We intend to utilize our Automall platform for marketing of our
financial products and develop new customers. We intend to commence operation of such "Automalls" during the first
quarter of 2011, and to gradually expand to between 50 and 60 Automalls in the next 12 to 15 months.
We intend to further develop our equipment finance business, particularly construction equipment. We believe that
infrastructure development and construction businesses are likely to benefit from the significant investment in
infrastructure by the Government of India and state governments and as well as by the private sector. Many of our FTU
and SRTO customers are increasingly entering the construction equipment business, and we believe that the construction
equipment business segment will be a logical extension of our product portfolio for our existing customer base. We
believe that the construction equipment finance segment provides significant growth opportunity and intend to
increasingly focus on construction equipment finance as a distinct business segment through our wholly-owned
subsidiary Shriram Equipment Finance Company Limited. We are in the process of recruiting senior management and
other personnel for this business segment.
We are focused on leveraging our leadership in truck financing to expand our product portfolio, which now also includes
financing for passenger commercial vehicles, multi-utility vehicles, three-wheelers, tractors, and construction equipment.
We expect this will enable us to offer new products to existing customers and expand our customer base. These products
- 49 -
have strong synergies with the truck financing sector which is our primary business line. Further, by offering additional
downstream products, such as vehicle parts and other ancillary loans, credit cards and freight bill discounting, we
maintain contact with the customer throughout the product lifecycle and increase our revenues. The relationships we
have developed with our customers provide us with opportunities for repeat business and to cross sell our other products
and products of our affiliates.
We have invested in our technology systems and processes to create a stronger organization and ensure good
management of customer credit quality. Our information technology strategy is designed to increase our operational and
managerial efficiency. We aim to increasingly use technology in streamlining our credit approval, administration and
monitoring processes to meet customer requirements on a real-time basis. We continue to implement technology led
processing systems to make our appraisal and collection processes more efficient, facilitate rapid delivery of credit to our
customers and augment the benefits of our relationship based approach. We also believe deploying strong technology
systems that will enable us to respond to market opportunities and challenges swiftly, improve the quality of services to
our customers, and improve our risk management capabilities.

STATEMENT OF TAX BENEFITS
The information provided below sets out the possible tax benefits available to the debenture holders of an Indian
company in a summary manner only and is not a complete analysis or listing of all potential tax consequences of the
subscription, ownership and disposal of debenture, under the current tax laws presently in force in India. Several of these
benefits are dependent on the debentureholders fulfilling the conditions prescribed under the relevant tax laws. Hence the
ability of the debenture holders to derive the tax benefits is dependent upon fulfilling such conditions, which based on
business imperatives it faces in the future, it may not choose to fulfil. The following overview is not exhaustive or
comprehensive and is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice. Investors are advised to consult their own
tax consultant with respect to the tax implications of an investment in the debentures particularly in view of the fact that
certain recently enacted legislation may not have a direct legal precedent or may have a different interpretation on the
benefits, which an investor can avail. We are not liable to the Debenture Holder in any manner for placing reliance upon
the contents of this statement of tax benefits.

Indian Economy
India is the world’s largest democracy by the population size, and one of the fastest growing economies in the world. It
has grown at an average rate of 7.5% per annum during the last three years. According to CIA World Factbook, India’s
estimated population was 1.16 billion people in July 2009. India had an estimated GDP of approximately US$ 3,548.0
billion in 2009, which makes it the fourth largest economy in the world after the United States of America, China and
Japan, in purchasing power parity terms. The following table presents a comparison of India’s real GDP growth rate with
the real GDP growth rate of certain other countries:
The RBI is the central regulatory and supervisory authority for the Indian financial system. SEBI and the Insurance
Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) regulate the capital markets and insurance sector, respectively. A
variety of financial intermediaries in the public and private sectors participate in India’s financial sector, including the
following:
• Commercial banks;
• NBFCs ;
- 94 -
• Specialized financial institutions like the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development
(NABARD), the Export-Import Bank of India (EXIM Bank), the Small Industries Development Bank of
India (SIDBI) and the Tourism Finance Corporation of India (TFCI);
• Securities brokers;
• Investment banks;
• Insurance companies;
• Mutual funds; and
• Venture capital funds.
Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs) are an integral part of the country’s financial system, catering to a large
market of niche customers, and have emerged as one of the major purveyors of retail and SME credit in India. It is a
heterogeneous group of institutions (other than commercial and co-operative banks) performing financial intermediation
in a variety of ways, such as accepting deposits, making loans and advances, providing leasing/hire purchase services,
among others. There are over 12,000 NBFCs in India, (Source: Reserve Bank of India, Annual Report, August 2009)
mostly in the private sector.
The RBI defines an NBFC as a company registered under the Companies Act, 1956 and engaged in the business of loans
and advances, acquisition of shares, stock, bonds, debentures, and securities issued by the GoI or local government
authorities, or other securities of like marketable nature, leasing, hire-purchase, insurance business, chit business.
However, this excludes institutions whose principal business is in the agricultural or industrial sector, or in the sale,
purchase and construction of immovable property. A non-banking entity that has as its principal line of business the
receipt of deposits, under any scheme or arrangement, or the extension of loans, in any manner, is also considered an
NBFC.
Gradually, NBFCs have become recognized as complementary to the banking sector due to their customer-oriented
services, simplified procedures, attractive rates of return on deposits, flexibility and timeliness in meeting the credit
needs of specified sectors, among other reasons. NBFCs have traditionally extended credit across the country through
their widespread geographical presence, with NBFCs supplying credit in segments such as equipment leasing, hire
purchase, and consumer finance. These are areas which warrant infusion of financing due to the existing demand-supply
gap. NBFCs have provided a more flexible source of financing and have been able to disburse funds to a gamut of
clientele, from local individual customers to a variety of corporate clientele. NBFCs can be divided into deposit taking
NBFCs, i.e., those which accept deposits from the public and non-deposit taking NBFCs being those which do not accept
deposits from the public.
- 95 -
NBFC
Even though NBFCs perform functions similar to those of banks, there are a few differences:
Initially, the NBFCs registered with the RBI could only operate as equipment leasing companies, hire purchase
companies, loan companies and investment companies. However, effective December 6, 2006, NBFCs registered with
the RBI have been reclassified as (i) asset finance companies (“AFCs”); (ii) investment companies (“IC”); and (iii) loan
companies (“LC”). Efforts have been made to integrate NBFCs into the mainstream financial sector by strengthening
the prudential guidelines relating to income recognition, asset classification and provisioning. A number of measures to
enhance the regulatory and supervisory standards of NBFCs in order to put them on par with commercial banks were
undertaken by the RBI over a period of time including the alignment of interest rates, allowing diversification of
businesses e.g. issuance of co-branded cards and distribution of mutual fund and insurance products, regulation of
systemically important NBFCs and introduction of a fair practices code and corporate governance.
In terms of global scale, the Indian automotive industry is the second largest two-wheeler market in the world, the fourth
largest heavy commercial market in the world, and the eleventh largest passenger vehicle market in the world. As one of
the largest industrial sectors in India, turnover of the automotive industry represents roughly 5.0% of India’s GDP, while
contributing nearly 17.0% to total indirect taxes. Although the automotive industry provides direct and indirect
employment to over 13 million people, the penetration levels for vehicles in India are among the lowest in the world.

The commercial vehicle industry is segmented into “light commercial vehicles” (for vehicles with gross vehicle weight
of less than 7.5 tons) and “medium and heavy commercial vehicles” (for vehicles weighing more than 7.5 tons). The
performance of the medium and heavy commercial vehicle industry bears a high correlation with industrial growth, and
is driven by economic development, improved road infrastructure (such as the Golden Quadrilateral) for long haulage
transportation, and a favorable regulatory environment (in this regard, demand created in the years 2006-2007 was
- 96 -
attributable to the strict enforcement of overloading restrictions and age norms). In turn, the performance of the light
commercial vehicle industry tends to be less cyclical in nature, and is driven by GDP growth and demand for last mile
distribution. The market share of light commercial vehicles increased rapidly - the introduction of a sub-one ton carrier
by certain players created a new segment typically occupied by three-wheelers and similar forms of intra-city transport,
resulting in significant growth in the commercial vehicle market as a whole.
Total domestic sales in the commercial vehicle industry reached 490,494 units in 2007-08. From 2003-04 to 2007-08,
domestic sales had grown at a healthy CAGR of 17.8%, dipping to 4.9% in 2007-08 from 33.3% in 2006-07. The
reduction in domestic sales was attributed to the slowdown in economic development, credit availability and costs, an
increase in fuel prices, in addition to the base effect due to the one-time demand created in 2006-07 by the strict
enforcement of overloading restrictions. [Source: SIAM]

Through a series of coordinated and successive measures, the GoI announced an economic stimulus package which
included, inter alia, reductions in interest rates, stepping up of plan expenditure by up to US$5.00 billion by March
2009, easing the flow of credit, among other measures. There have also been announcements directly favoring the
automobile industry, including:
• an across-the-board cut of 4.0% in excise duties, allowing manufacturers to offer price cuts to consumers
thereby stimulating demand. A further 2% cut in excise duties was announced on February 24, 2009;
• accelerated depreciation of 50.0% for commercial vehicles to be purchased on or after January 1, 2009 to March
31, 2009. This was subsequently extended to September, 2009; and
• assistance to states under the GoI scheme (under the the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission
(JNNURM) of the Ministry of Urban Development) for the purchase of buses for their urban transport systems
as a one-time measure to June 30, 2009.
The impact of both the monetary and fiscal measures of the GoI has positively impacted volumes and there have been
encouraging signs of revival in demand since January, 2009. The overall commercial vehicle segment registered positive
growth at 5.4% during April-October 2009 as compared to the same period the previous year. While medium and heavy
commercial vehicle registered negative growth at (11.3%), the light commercial vehicle segment climbed to 22.7%.
(Source: Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers)
Over the long term, the commercial vehicle industry and consequently, commercial vehicle financing, is expected to
continue to show growth in light of the following factors:
Modernization of trucking industry. A replacement boom is likely to be triggered by stricter enforcement of regulations
banning trucks beyond 15 years and overloading, as well as the introduction by transport associations of a voluntary
retirement scheme for old trucks with better financing options. An anticipated replacement demand for 1.1 million new
as well as pre-owned trucks will require financing of Rs.1,078.00 billion.
Structural shift to hub-and-spoke model and improving road infrastructure. All commercial vehicle segments are
expected to experience a boost from the fast-evolving hub- and spoke-structure of the freight industry. Long-distance
haulage between hubs is typically serviced by heavy commercial vehicle on highways which continue to benefit from the
Golden Quadrilateral and road development projects, with freight distribution from the hub to the local warehouse at the
end of the spoke requiring medium commercial vehicles and distribution over the last mile requiring small commercial
vehicles.
Stricter emission norms expected to generate huge demand for 5-12 year old trucks: Currently, Bharat Stage IV norms
(equivalent to Euro IV norms) are in force for four-wheelers in thirteen cities in India, while Bharat Stage III norms
(equivalent to Euro III norms) are in force in rest of India. A revision in emission regulations is expected to be
implemented by fiscal 2010, when the eleven major cities currently subject to Bharat Stage III norms are expected to
move to Bharat Stage IV norms (equivalent to Euro IV norms), with the rest of India to adopting Bharat Stage III norms.
Growing freight capacity. GDP growth rate continues to drive incremental freight capacity, which is estimated to
increase at 1.25 times of GDP growth.
Growth of construction industry. The share of the construction industry in GDP has increased from 6.1% in 2002-03 to
6.9% in 2006-07. This increase has been largely propelled by government spending. Because a substantial portion of
construction investment is spent on equipment, this construction boom heralds a similar expansion in the need for
construction vehicles. The Indian construction industry is dominated by small contractors that perform over 90.0% of
projects. These local players often lack adequate access to institutional finance, creating enormous opportunities in the
area of construction equipment financing. (Source: Government of India Planning Commission Eleventh Five Year Plan)
Government investments in the roads and highways sector may also be expected to support growth in the commercial
vehicle industry. According to the NHAI, India has the second largest road network in the world, aggregating
approximately 3.3 million kilometers. Approximately 65.0% of freight and 80.0% of passenger traffic is carried by the
- 98 -
road network. The national highways, which carry approximately 40.0% of total road traffic, constitute only about 2.0%
of the total road network. Moreover, the number of vehicles has been increasing at an average pace of 10.2% per annum
over the last five years. (Source: NHAI, http://www.nhai.org/roadnetwork.htm)
The table below sets forth information pertaining to India's road network.
Moreover, the GoI has recently announced plans for the proposed launch by NHAI of six significant projects in the roads
and highways sector, estimated at project costs in excess of U.S.$1.00 billion each. (Source: http://www.nhai.org, NHAI)
From 1995 to 1997, the commercial vehicle finance market was highly fragmented, with NBFCs dominating the
commercial vehicle finance market. Steady consolidation took place, with larger players like Sundaram Finance, Ashok
Leyland Finance, Citicorp Finance, GE Capital and others increasing their market position and share. In 2000 to 2001,
the new commercial vehicle finance market was estimated at around Rs.52.00 billion. The market became less
fragmented, as weaker NBFCs exited the market due to increasing pressure on margins. Private banks, capitalizing on
market opportunities, made an aggressive entry into the market. (Source: Report of CRISIL Research –“Retail Finance –
Auto – Annual Review”, January, 2010)
From 2003 to 2006, organized players began focusing on the used vehicle and refinance markets, which had traditionally
been serviced by the unorganized sector. NBFCs, such as Tata Finance, Sundaram Finance, Citicorp Finance, and
Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company, accounted for about 34% of the market. In turn, banks like ICICI
Bank, HDFC Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank emerged as strong players in the private bank segment, capturing about
57.0% of the market. State Bank of India, which expanded its operations in this market in 2003-2004, and other public-
sector and cooperative banks, accounted for the remaining 9%. To increase their market share, players required a sound
origination and distribution network, due to the market distribution across national and state highways. In 2005 to 2006,
the total organized commercial vehicle finance market was estimated at Rs.303.00 billion, with new commercial vehicle
market contributing Rs.196.00 billion and the used commercial vehicle market contributing Rs.107.00 billion. (Source:
Report of CRISIL Research –“Retail Finance – Auto – Annual Review”, January, 2010)
In the year 2007, two major deals between international truck makers and Indian companies were signed including
agreement to manufacture and sell light commercial vehicles between Nissan Motor Co. Limited and Ashok Leyland and
Eicher Motor’s joint venture with AB Volvo. During 2008-09, commercial vehicle was the worst hit segment in
automobile sector on account of reduction in freight availability and unfavourable credit environment. Rising defaults led
to deterioration in asset quality, with players curtailing their exposure to SFOs and FTUs. Government took several
initiatives to increase demand including reduction in excise duty and service tax by 2 percent and special credit line for
NBFCs. In 2009-10, our Company acquired Rs. 12 billion worth of commercial vehicle and construction equipment
assets from GE Capital’s transport finance business. (Source: Report of CRISIL Research –“Retail Finance – Auto –
Annual Review”, January, 2010)
Slowdown in industrial activity, unfavourable credit scenario and strained profitability for transporters had adversely
affected the commercial vehicle market. Lower growth in industrial production led to a reduction in freight availability
and capacity utilization levels which deteriorated transporters’ repayment capability and eventually, asset quality.
However, in 2009-10 interest rates for commercial vehicle finance fell by around 150 bps resulting into improved
liquidity in the financial system leading to a fall in cost of funds for the financiers and ultimately benefiting the
- 99 -
customers in the form of lower interest rates. (Source: Report of CRISIL Research –“Retail Finance – Auto – Annual
Review”, January, 2010)
Although yield to financiers increased in 2008-09, gross spreads came down, as the cost of funds increased for a larger
extent. However, in 2009-10, yield to financier is estimated to have declined by 150-200 bps, which is more than the
reduction in cost of funds, due to decline in risk aversion and increase in competition among financiers. (Source: Report
of CRISIL Research –“Retail Finance – Auto – Annual Review”, January, 2010)
The new commercial vehicle financing market is estimated at Rs.232.00 billion in 2009-10 and is projected to grow by
12.4 percent in 2010-11, primarily led by boost in business and consumer confidence levels, revival in commercial
vehicle sales volume and decline in risk aversion among financiers. During 2008-09 to 2013-14, the industry is forecast
to grow at a 5-year CAGR of 13.2 percent, driven by economic growth and infrastructure development in the country.
(Source: Report of CRISIL Research –“Retail Finance – Auto – Annual Review”, January, 2010)
Apart from the Company, HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Sundaram Finance are some of the key organized
players in the new vehicle financing segment. Some of the large players in the commercial vehicle financing industry,
e.g. Citi Financial, Centuria Bank of Punjab and GE Money, as also numerous small-sized players, have exited the
market, which has eased competitive intensity for other players like the Company.

security documents relating to the GE Receivables as of November 28, 2009.
Our Strengths
We are the largest asset financing NBFC in India, with particular focus on financing pre-owned commercial vehicles*.
We primarily cater to FTUs and SRTOs and we believe we are among the leading financing institutions in the organized
sector in this particular segment. Our widespread network of 482 branches across India as of December 31, 2009 enables
us to access a large customer base including in most major and minor commercial vehicle hubs along various road
transportation routes in India. We believe that our widespread branch network enables us to service and support our
existing customers from proximate locations which provide customers easy access to our services. We have also
- 102 -
strategically expanded our marketing and customer origination network by entering into partnership and co-financing
arrangements with private financiers involved in commercial vehicle financing. We believe our relationship with these
partners is a critical factor in sourcing new customers and enhancing reach and penetration at low upfront capital cost.
The relationships we have developed with our customers provide us with opportunities for repeat business and to cross
sell our other products as well as derive benefit from customer referrals.
* Based on financial and non financial parameters for the financial year 2009 for selected NBFCs as contained in the
D&B Reseacrch Report, [Source: Dun & Bradstreet Research Report]
Our Assets Under Management as of December 31, 2009*, was Rs. 2,816,909.42 lacs (comprising Assets Under
Management in the books of the Company of Rs. 2,154,258.75 lacs, loan assets securitized /assigned of Rs. 6,62,623.83
lacs and portfolio managed by the Company* of Rs. 26.84 lacs). This is supported by a strong capital base, with share
capital of Rs. 21,279.86 lacs and reserves and surplus of Rs. 286,716.43 lacs as of December 31, 2009. Our capital
adequacy ratio as of December 31, 2009 was 17.07%, compared to the RBI stipulated minimum requirement of 12.00%.
Our Tier I capital as of December 31, 2009 was Rs. 285,727.21 lacs.
* Please note these figures are based on certificates provided by the management.
Our Assets under Management as on May 5, 2010 is Rs. 30,052.63 crore, including assets in the books of our Company
of Rs. 19,253.93 crore and loan assets securitised/assigned of Rs. 10,798.70 crore.
We fund our capital requirements through a variety of sources. Our fund requirements are currently predominantly
sourced through term loans from banks, issue of redeemable non-convertible debentures, and cash credit from banks
including working capital loans. We access funds from a number of credit providers, including nationalized banks,
private Indian banks and foreign banks, and our track record of prompt debt servicing has allowed us to establish and
maintain strong relationships with these financial institutions. We also place commercial paper and access inter-
corporate deposits. As a deposit-taking NBFC, we are also able to mobilize retail fixed deposits at competitive rates. We
have also raised subordinated loans eligible for Tier II capital. We undertake securitization/assignment transactions to
increase our capital adequacy ratio, increase the efficiency of our loan portfolio and as a cost effective source of funds.
In relation to our long-term debt instruments, we currently have ratings of CARE AA+ from Credit Analysis and
Research Ltd. (“CARE”) and AA (Ind) from FITCH. In relation to our short-term debt instruments, we have also
received ratings of F1+ from FITCH and P1+ from CRISIL. The Secured NCDs proposed to be issued under this Issue
have been rated ‘CARE AA+’ by CARE for an amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs and ‘AA/Stable’ by CRISIL for an
amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs vide their letters dated April 19, 2010 and April 27, 2010, respectively and the
Unsecured NCDs proposed to be issued under this Issue have been rated ‘CARE AA’ by CARE for an amount of upto
Rs. 50,000 Lacs and ‘AA/Stable’ by CRISIL for an amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs vide their letters dated April 19,
2010 and April 27, 2010, respectively. We believe that we have been able to achieve a relatively stable cost of funds
despite the difficult conditions in the global and Indian economy in fiscal 2008 and 2009 and the resultant reduced
liquidity and an increase in interest rates, primarily due to our improved credit ratings, effective treasury management
and innovative fund raising programs. We believe we are able to borrow from a range of sources at competitive rates.
The RBI currently mandates domestic commercial banks operating in India to maintain an aggregate of 40.00% (32.00%
for foreign banks) of their advances or credit equivalent amount of off-balance sheet exposure, whichever is higher as
“priority sector advances”. These include advances to agriculture, small enterprises (including SRTOs, which constitute
the largest proportion of our loan portfolio), exports and similar sectors where the Government seeks to encourage flow
of credit for developmental reasons. Banks in India that have traditionally been constrained or unable to meet these
requirements organically, have relied on specialized institutions like us that are better positioned to or exclusively focus
on originating such assets through on-lending or purchase of assets or securitized/assigned pools to comply with these
targets. Our securitized/assigned asset pools are particularly attractive to these banks as such transactions provide them
with an avenue to increase their asset base through low cost investments and limited risk. Majority of our loan portfolio
being classified as priority sector lending also enables us to negotiate competitive interest rates with banks and other
financial institutions. In fiscal 2008 and 2009, the total book value of loan assets securitized/assigned was Rs.
211,822.17 lacs and Rs. 312,498.40 lacs, respectively. In the nine months ended December 31, 2009, the total book value
of loan assets securitized/assigned was Rs. 326,229.88 lacs.

Unique business model and a track record of strong financial performance
We primarily cater to FTUs and SRTOs and we believe we are the only financing institution in the organized sector
providing finance to FTUs and SRTOs in the pre-owned commercial vehicle finance segment. Most of our customers are
not a focus segment for banks or other NBFCs as these customers lack substantial credit history and other financial
documentation on which many of such financial institutions rely to identify and target new customers. As the market for
commercial vehicle financing, especially the pre-owned commercial vehicle financing, is fragmented, we believe our
credit evaluation techniques, relationship based approach, extensive branch network and strong valuation skills make our
business model unique and sustainable as compared to other financiers. In particular, our internally-developed valuation
methodology requires deep knowledge and practical experience developed over a period of time, and we believe this is a
key strength that is difficult to replicate. We provide finance to pre-owned commercial vehicle operators at favourable
interest rates and repayment terms as compared to private financiers in the unorganized sector.
Our retail focus, stringent credit policies and relationship based model has helped us maintain relatively low NPA levels.
Our Gross NPAs as a percentage of Total Loan Assets were 2.14% and 2.43% as of March 31, 2009 and December 31,
2009 respectively. Our Net NPAs as a percentage of Net Loan Assets was 0.83% and 0.67% as of March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2009, respectively.
We believe that the "Shriram" brand is well established in commercial vehicle financing throughout India. We believe
that we are the only organized sector financing company with particular focus on the pre-owned commercial vehicle
financing segment to FTUs and SRTOs in India. Our targeted focus on and the otherwise fragmented nature of this
market segment, our widespread branch network, particularly in commercial vehicle hubs across India, as well as our
large customer base has enabled us to build a strong brand. Our efficient credit approval procedures, credit delivery
process and relationship-based loan administration and monitoring methodology have also aided in increasing customer
loyalty and earn repeat business and customer referrals.
We have developed a unique business model that addresses the needs of a specific market segment with increasing
demand. We focus on closely monitoring our assets and borrowers through product executives who develop long-term
relationships with commercial vehicle operators, which enables us to capitalize on local knowledge. We follow stringent
credit policies, including limits on customer exposure, to ensure the asset quality of our loans and the security provided
for such loans. Further, we have nurtured a culture of accountability by making our product executives responsible for
loan administration and monitoring as well as recovery of the loans they originate.
Extensive expertise in asset valuation is a pre-requisite for any NBFC providing loans for pre-owned assets. Over the
years, we have developed expertise in valuing pre-owned vehicles, which enables us to accurately determine a
recoverable loan amount for commercial vehicle purchases. We believe a tested valuation technique for these assets is a
crucial entry barrier for others seeking to enter our market segment. Furthermore, our entire recovery and collection
operation is administered in-house and we do not outsource loan recovery and collection operations. We believe that our
loan recovery procedure is particularly well-suited to our target market in the commercial vehicle financing industry, as
reflected by our high loan recovery ratios compared to others in the financial services industry, and we believe that this
knowledge and relationship based recovery procedure is difficult to replicate in the short to medium term.
Our Board consists of 10 Directors, including representatives of Newbridge India Investments II Ltd (TPG Group) , with
extensive experience in the automotive and/or financial services sectors. Our senior and middle management personnel
have significant experience and in-depth industry knowledge and expertise. Most of our senior management team has
grown with the Company and have more than 15 years of experience with us. Our management promotes a result-
oriented culture that rewards our employees on the basis of merit. In order to strengthen our credit appraisal and risk
management systems, and to develop and implement our credit policies, we have hired a number of senior managers who
have extensive experience in the Indian banking and financial services sector and in specialized lending finance firms
- 104 -
providing loans to retail customers.. We believe that the in-depth industry knowledge and loyalty of our management and
professionals provide us with a distinct competitive advantage.
Our Strategies
Further expand operations by growing our branch network and increasing partnership and co-financing
arrangements with private financiers
We intend to continue to strategically expand our operations in target markets that are large commercial vehicle hubs by
establishing additional branches. Our marketing and customer origination and servicing efforts strategically focus on
building long term relationships with our customers and address specific issues and local business requirements of
potential customers in a particular region. We also intend to increase our operations in certain regions in India where we
historically had relatively limited operations, such as in eastern and northern parts of India, and to further consolidate our
position and operations in western and southern parts of India.
The pre-owned commercial vehicle financing industry in India is dominated by private financiers in the unorganized
sector. We intend to continue to strategically expand our marketing and customer origination network by entering into
partnership and co-financing arrangements with private financiers across India involved in commercial vehicle financing.
In view of the personnel-intensive requirements of our operations, we continue to focus on growing our business by
increasingly relying on partnership arrangements to effectively leverage the local knowledge, infrastructure and
personnel base of our partners.
Introduce innovative marketing and sales initiatives and build our brand to further grow market share
We continue to develop innovative marketing and customer origination initiatives specifically targeted at FTUs and
SRTOs. For example, we organize "Truck Bazaars" in several commercial vehicle hubs in India every month.
Customarily the sale and purchase of pre-owned commercial vehicles is made through brokers or intermediaries, with
limited transparency and access to information and suitable opportunities. At our Truck Bazaars, we provide a
comprehensive platform for access to information about pre-owned commercial vehicles available for purchase and sale,
a venue for transporters to buy and sell pre-owned commercial vehicles directly without the intervention of brokers, and
a facility for providing advisory services for a fee on such transactions, together with access to our financing products.
This initiative enables us to develop long standing relationships with repeat customers, and provides us with
opportunities to generate new business. These programs provide a platform to increase our brand awareness and enable
us to promote our financing products.
We also intend to develop pre-owned commercial vehicle hubs across India called "Automalls", through a wholly-owned
subsidiary incorporated for this purpose, designed to provide a trading platform for the sale of pre-owned commercial
vehicles, showrooms for branded new and refurbished pre-owned commercial vehicles manufactured by various
manufacturers, as well as commercial vehicles repossessed by financing companies. Through our Automalls, we intend
to set up a one-stop shop catering to the various needs of commercial vehicle owners, including through the provision of
workshop facilities. We intend to provide electronic advertising and trading infrastructure in these Automalls, such as
touch-screen kiosks, through which customers will be able to access real-time information on pre-owned vehicles
available for sale. These electronic touch-screen kiosk facilities, which will also be installed in our branches, will
eventually replace our physical Truck Bazaar events. We intend to utilize our Automall platform for marketing of our
financial products and develop new customers. We intend to commence operation of such "Automalls" during the first
quarter of 2011, and to gradually expand to between 50 and 60 Automalls in the next 12 to 15 months.
We intend to further develop our equipment finance business, particularly construction equipment. We believe that
infrastructure development and construction businesses are likely to benefit from the significant investment in
infrastructure by the Government of India and state governments and as well as by the private sector. Many of our
customers have upgraded themselves and have become a sub-contractor and we believe that the construction equipment
business segment will be a logical extention of our product portfolio for our existing customer base and with the global
meltdown many of the existing equipment financiers have stopped funding the construction equipment and vacuum is
- 105 -
being created in the market so to tap the existing customer base and a new set of customers, we believe that the
construction equipment finance segment provides significant growth opportunity, and intend to increasingly focus on
construction equipment finance as a distinct business segment through our wholly owned subsidiary Shriram Equipment
Finance Company Limited. We are in the process of recruiting senior management and other personnel for this business
segment.
We are focused on leveraging our leadership in truck financing to expand our product portfolio, which now also includes
financing for passenger commercial vehicles, multi-utility vehicles, three-wheelers, tractors, and construction equipment.
We expect this will enable us to offer new products to existing customers and expand our customer base. These products
have strong synergies with the truck financing sector which is our primary business line. Further, by offering additional
downstream products, such as vehicle parts and other ancillary loans, credit cards and freight bill discounting, we
maintain contact with the customer throughout the product lifecycle and increase our revenues. The relationships we
have developed with our customers provide us with opportunities for repeat business and to cross sell our other products
and products of our affiliates.
We have invested in our technology systems and processes to create a stronger organization and ensure good
management of customer credit quality. Our information technology strategy is designed to increase our operational and
managerial efficiency. We aim to increasingly use technology in streamlining our credit approval, administration and
monitoring processes to meet customer requirements on a real-time basis. We continue to implement technology led
processing systems to make our appraisal and collection processes more efficient, facilitate rapid delivery of credit to our
customers and augment the benefits of our relationship based approach. We also believe deploying strong technology
systems that will enable us to respond to market opportunities and challenges swiftly, improve the quality of services to
our customers, and improve our risk management capabilities.
We are principally engaged in the business of providing commercial vehicle financing to FTUs and SRTOs. FTUs are
principally former truck drivers who purchase trucks for use in commercial operations and SRTOs are principally small
truck operators owning between one and four used commercial vehicles. Our financing products are principally targeted
at the financing of pre-owned trucks and other commercial vehicles, although we also provide financing for new
commercial vehicles. Pre-owned commercial vehicles financed by us are typically between five and 12 years old. We
also provide financing for other kinds of pre-owned and new commercial vehicles, including passenger vehicles, multi-
utility vehicles, tractors and three wheelers.
Our customers also require financing for the purchase of equipment and vehicle parts in connection with the operation of
their trucks and other commercial vehicles. We also offer financing for the acquisition of new and pre-owned vehicle
equipment and accessories, such as tyres, engines, chassis, and other vehicle parts.
We provide finance for the purchase of construction equipments that are used in construction projects. Many of our FTU
and SRTO customers are increasingly entering the construction equipment business, and we believe that the construction
equipment business segment will be a logical extension of our product portfolio to our existing customer base. We
believe that this equipment finance segment provides significant growth opportunity and intend to increasingly focus on
construction equipment finance as a distinct business segment through our wholly-owned subsidiary Shriram Equipment
Finance Company Limited. We are in the process of recruiting senior management and other personnel for this business
segment. The majority of such customers will not be from our existing customer base.
- 106 -
As an extension of our product portfolio, we offer freight bill discounting services to our customers, including the
purchase of trucking invoices of our customers at a discount, thereby providing immediate cash relief to small truck
operators. Freight bill discounting provides our customers with their cash flow requirements without creating any debt,
which otherwise may restrict the ability of our customers from obtaining other necessary loans for vehicle or asset
financing. In addition, freight bill discounting frees truck operators from the need to attend to billing, collection and
settlement. With freight bill discounting, our decision to purchase receivables is based on the creditworthiness of the
freight customers and not that of the truck operators. Our industry experience and access to market intelligence enable us
to operate successfully in this business segment.
Credit Cards
We have entered into an agreement with Axis Bank (formerly UTI Bank Limited) to market co-branded Visa credit cards
to commercial vehicle operators for use in India and Nepal. We provide marketing assistance for the sourcing of
prospective customers for such credit cards as well as assist in customer verification procedures. Axis Bank however
retains the right to approve the application by any such customer. Access to such additional credit enables our customers
to meet their short term financial requirements, including working capital requirements.
Our Operations
Customer Origination
Customer Base
Our customer base is predominantly FTUs and SRTOs and other commercial vehicle operators, and smaller construction
equipment operators. We also provide trade finance to commercial vehicle operators. These customers typically have
limited access to bank loans for commercial vehicle financing and limited credit history. Our loans are secured by a
hypothecation of the asset financed.
Branch Network
As of December 31, 2009, we had a wide network of 482 branches across India and approximately 12,823 employees.
We have established branches at most major commercial vehicle hubs along various road transportation routes across
India. A typical branch comprises nine to 10 employees, including the branch manager. As of December 31, 2009, all of
our branch offices were connected to servers at our corporate office to enable real time information with respect to our
loan disbursement and recovery administration. Our customer origination efforts strategically focus on building long
term relationships with our customers, addresses specific issues and local business requirements of potential customers
in a specific region.
SRTOs and FTUs generally have limited banking habits and credit history and inadequate legal documentation for
verification of credit worthiness. In addition, because of the mobile nature of the hypothecated assets, SRTOs and FTUs
have limited access to bank financing for pre-owned and new commercial vehicle financing. As a result, the pre-owned
truck financing market in India is dominated by private financiers in the unorganized sector. We have strategically
expanded our marketing and customer origination network by entering into partnership and co-financing arrangements
with private financiers across India involved in commercial vehicle financing.
We enter into strategic partnership agreements with private financiers ranging from individual financiers to small local
private financiers, including other NBFCs. We have established a stable relationship with our partners through our
extensive branch network. In view of the personnel-intensive requirements of our business model, we rely on
partnership arrangements to effectively leverage the local knowledge, infrastructure and personnel base of our partners.
Our partners source applications for pre-owned and new commercial vehicle financing based on certain assessment
criteria specified by us, and is generally responsible for ensuring the authenticity of the customer information and
documentation. The decision to approve a loan is, however, at our discretion. In the event that an application is rejected
by us, our partners are permitted to directly arrange financing for such customer or approach another financier in
connection with such proposed financing.
- 107 -
Our partner sourcing a customer is responsible for obtaining all necessary documentation in connection with the loan
proposal. The partner is responsible for collection of installments and penalties for all customers originated through him.
The partner is also responsible for any repossession of vehicles and equipment in the event of a default of a loan by a
customer sourced by such partner.
A typical co-financing or partnership agreement stipulates the revenue-sharing ratio, amounts payable as quarterly
advance payments to our partner, and details related to the retention of earnest money. Specifically, we typically
stipulate a certain income-sharing arrangement on the interest on the loan, net of our cost of funding. Since the partner's
share of income is only determined upon settlement of the individual loan contracts, we typically release quarterly
advance payments to our partner. These payments are net of the earnest money deposit, which represents a pre-agreed
percentage of the partner's revenue share. We allocate the earnest money towards a loan loss pool, as well as for
business expansion purposes. Loan loss is typically calculated as our loss on principal and reimbursed expenses on loans
from customers sourced by the partner, with interest at the rate of our cost of funds. The loss is shared between the
parties in the same proportion as income. The parties usually stipulate that the amount available as earnest money deposit
in excess of a certain percentage of future receivables and may be withdrawn by the partner.
We continue to develop innovative marketing and customer origination initiatives specifically targeted at FTUs and
SRTOs. For example, we organize "Truck Bazaars" in several major commercial vehicle hubs in India every month.
Customarily the sale and purchase of pre-owned commercial vehicles is made through brokers or intermediaries, with
limited transparency and access to information and suitable opportunities. At our Truck Bazaars, we provide a
comprehensive platform for access to information about pre-owned commercial vehicles available for purchase and sale,
a venue for transporters to buy and sell pre-owned commercial vehicles directly without the intervention of brokers, as
well as a facility for providing advisory services for a fee on such transactions, together with access to our financing
products. This initiative enables us to develop long standing relationships with repeat customers, and provides us with
opportunities to generate new business. These programs provide us a platform to increase our brand awareness and
enable us to promote our financing products.
We also intend to develop pre-owned commercial vehicle hubs across India called "Automalls", through a wholly-owned
subsidiary which has been incorporated for this purpose, designed to provide a trading platform for the sale of pre-owned
commercial vehicles, showrooms for branded new and refurbished pre-owned commercial vehicles manufactured by
various manufacturers as well as commercial vehicles repossessed by financing companies.
Selling of refurbished repossessed vehicles will be undertaken by our Company under the brand name of ‘SHRIRAM
NEW LOOK’, for which company has made an application for registration. Through our Automalls, we intend to set up
one-stop shop facilities catering to the various needs of commercial vehicle owners, including through the provision of
workshops. We intend to provide electronic advertising and trading infrastructure in these Automalls, such as touch-
screen kiosks, through which customers will be able to access real-time information on pre-owned vehicles available for
sale. These electronic touch-screen kiosk facilities, which will also be installed in our branches, will eventually replace
our physical Truck Bazaar events. We intend to utilize this platform for marketing of our financial products and develop
new customers. We intend to commence operation of such "Automalls" during the first quarter of 2011, and to gradually
expand to between 50 and 60 Automalls in the next 12 to 15 months.
At present, second hand vehicles are being sold through the brokers and market is being controlled by them, our
Company intends to engage in auction of vehicles in an organized manner.
Branding/ advertising
We use the brand name “Shriram Transport Finance” for marketing our products pursuant to a license and user
agreement with Shriram Capital Limited (formerly Shriram Financial Services Holdings Private Limited), an affiliate
company which is valid until March 31, 2011. Our brand is well recognized in India given its association with the brand
of our promoter Shriram and our own efforts of brand promotion. We have launched various publicity campaigns
through print and other media specifically targeted at our target customer profile, FTUs and SRTOs, to create awareness
of our product features, including our speedy loan approval process with the intention of creating and enhancing our
- 108 -
brand identity. We believe that our emphasis on brand promotion will be a significant contributor to our results of
operations in future.
Due to our customer profile, in addition to a credit evaluation of the borrower, we rely on guarantor arrangements, the
availability of security, referrals from existing relationships and close client relationships in order to manage our asset
quality. All customer origination and evaluation, loan disbursement, loan administration and monitoring as well as loan
recovery processes are carried out by our product executives. We do not utilize or engage direct selling or other
marketing and distribution agents or appraisers to carry out these processes. We follow certain procedures for the
evaluation of the creditworthiness of potential borrowers. The typical credit appraisal process is described below:
Initial Evaluation
When a customer is identified and the requisite information for a financing proposal is received, a branch manager or
product executive meets with such customer to assess the loan requirements and creditworthiness of such customer. The
proposal form requires the customer to provide information on the age, address, employment details and annual income
of the customer, as well as information on outstanding loans and the number of commercial vehicles owned. The
applicant is required to provide proof of identification and residence for verification purposes. In connection with the
loan application, the applicant is also required to furnish a guarantor, typically another commercial vehicle owner, and
preferably an existing or former customer. Detailed information relating to such guarantor is also required to be
provided.
For pre-owned commercial vehicles or equipment, a vehicle inspection and evaluation report is prepared by our
executives to ascertain, among other matters, the registration details of the vehicle, as well as its condition and market
value. A field investigation report is also prepared relating to the place of residence and of various movable and
immovable properties of the applicant and the guarantor. Each application also requires two independent references to
be provided.
Credit policies
We follow stringent credit policies to ensure the asset quality of our loans and the security provided for such loans. Any
deviation from such credit policies in connection with a loan application requires prior approval. Our credit policies
include the following:
• Vehicle type. We only finance vehicles that are used for commercial purposes. As these are income-generating
assets, we believe that this asset type reduces our credit risk.
• Guarantor requirement. Loans must be secured by the personal guarantee of the borrower as well as at least
one third party guarantor. The guarantor must be a commercial vehicle owner, preferably our existing or former
customer, and preferably operating in the same locality as the borrower.
• Loan approval guidelines. From time to time, our management lays down loan approval parameters which are
typically linked to the value of the vehicle/s.
• Age limit for used vehicles. We only extend loans to vehicles that are less than 12 years old.
• Period. In case of pre-owned commercial vehicles, the repayment term ranges between 24 and 48 months. For
new commercial vehicles, the repayment term ranges between 36 and 60 months.
• Prepayment charges. The borrower is charged prepayment charges in the event of termination of the loan by
prepayment.
• Release of documents on full repayment. Security received from the borrower, including unutilized post-dated
cheques, if any, is released on repayment of all dues or on collection of the entire outstanding loan amount,
provided no other existing right or lien for any other claim exists against the borrower.
- 109 -
• RTO records. In case of used vehicle financing, Regional Transport Office (“RTO”) records must be inspected
for non-payment of road tax, pending court cases, and other issues, and the records retained as part of the loan
documentation.
• Physical inspection and trade reference. In case of all pre-owned vehicle financing, the branch manager must
physically inspect the vehicle and assess its value. The branch manager’s determination regarding the condition
of the vehicle is recorded in the evaluation report of the vehicle. The branch manager must also conduct contact
point verification as well as a trade reference check of the borrower before an actual disbursement is made, and
such determination is recorded in the proposal evaluation records.
Approval Process
The branch manager evaluates the loan proposal based on supporting documentation and various other factors. The
primary criterion for approval of a loan proposal is based on the guarantee provided by another commercial vehicle
operator, preferably an existing or previous customer, as well as the valuation of the asset to be secured by the loan. In
addition, our branch managers may also consider other factors in the approval process such as length of residence, past
repayment record and income sources.
The branch manager is authorized to approve a loan if the proposal meets the criterion established for the approval of a
loan. The applicant is intimated of the outcome of the approval process, as well as the amount of loan approved, the
terms and conditions of such financing, including the rate of interest (annualized) and the application of such interest
during the tenure of the loan.
Disbursement
Margin money and other charges are collected prior to loan disbursements. The disbursing officer retains evidence of the
applicant’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of the loan as part of the loan documentation. A chassis print of the
vehicle is also obtained and maintained in the loan file. The relevant RTO endorsement forms are also required to be
executed by the borrower prior to the disbursement of the loan. Prior to the loan disbursement, the loan officer ensures
that a Know Your Customer checklist is completed by the applicant. The loan officer verifies such information provided
and includes such records in the relevant loan file. The loan officer is also required to ensure that the contents of the loan
documents are explained in detail to the borrower either in English or in the local language of the borrower, and a
statement to such effect is included as part of the loan documentation. The borrower is provided with a copy of the loan
documents executed by him. Although our customers have the option of making payments by cash or cheque, we may
require the applicant to submit post-dated cheques covering an initial period prior to any loan disbursement. For used
vehicles, an endorsement of the registration certificate as well as the insurance policy must be executed in our favor.
The borrower and the relevant guarantor are required to execute a standard form of Loan cum Hypothecation Agreement
setting out the terms of the loan. A loan repayment schedule is attached as a schedule to the Loan cum Hypothecation
Agreement, which generally sets out monthly repayment terms. The Loan cum Hypothecation Agreement also requires a
promissory note to be executed containing an unconditional promise of payment to be signed by both the borrower and
the relevant guarantor. A power of attorney authorizing, among others, the repossession of the hypothecated vehicle
upon loan payment default, is also required to be executed.
We provide three payment options: cash, cheques or demand drafts. Repayments are made in monthly installments.
Loans disbursed are recovered from the customer in accordance with the loan terms and conditions agreed with the
customer. As a service to our customers our product executives offer to visit the customers on the payment date to collect
the installments due. We track loan repayment schedules of our customers, on a monthly basis, based on the outstanding
tenure of the loans, the number of installments due and defaults committed, if any. This data is analyzed based on the
vehicles financed and location of the customer.
Our MIS department and centralized operating team monitors compliance with the terms and conditions for credit
facilities. We monitor the completeness of documentation, creation of security etc. through regular visits to the branches
by our regional as well as head office executives and internal auditors. All borrower accounts are reviewed at least once
- 110 -
a year, with a higher frequency for the larger exposures and delinquent borrowers. The branch managers review
collections regularly, and personally contact borrowers that have defaulted on their loan payments. Branch managers are
assisted by a set of product executives in the day-to-day operations, who are typically responsible for the collection of
installments from 150 to 200 borrowers each, depending on territorial dispersal. Each branch customarily limits its
commercial vehicle financing loans to approximately 1,000 customers, which enables closer monitoring of receivables.
A new branch is opened to handle additional customers beyond such limit to ensure appropriate risk management. Close
monitoring of debt servicing efficiency enables us to maintain high recovery ratios.
We believe that our loan recovery procedure is particularly well-suited to our target market in the commercial vehicle
financing industry, as reflected by our high loan recovery ratios compared to the average in the financial services
industry. The entire collection operation is administered in-house and we do not outsource loan recovery and collection
operations. In case of default, the reasons for the default are identified by the local product executive and appropriate
action is initiated, such as requiring partial repayment and/or seeking additional guarantees or collateral.
In the event of a default on three loan installments, the branch manager is required to make a personal visit to the
borrower to determine the gravity of the loan recovery problem and in order to exert personal pressure on the borrower.
We may initiate the process for repossession of the vehicle in the event of a default. Branch managers are trained to
repossess vehicles and no external agency is involved in such repossession. Repossessed vehicles are held at designated
secured facilities for eventual sale. The notice to the customer specifies the outstanding amount to be paid within a
specified period, failing which the vehicle may be disposed of through auction. In the event there is a short fall in the
recovery of the outstanding amount from the sale of the vehicle, legal proceedings against the customer may be initiated.
Our loan asset reconstruction department co-ordinates with our legal team and external lawyers to initiate and monitor
legal proceedings wherever appropriate.
The laws governing the registration of motor vehicles in India effectively establish vehicle ownership, as well as the
claims of lenders. As a result, vehicle repossession in the event of default is a relatively uncomplicated procedure, such
that the possibility of repossession provides an effective deterrent against default.
Asset Quality
We maintain our asset quality through the establishment of prudent credit norms, the application of stringent credit
evaluation tools, limiting customer and vehicle exposure, and direct interaction with customers. In addition to our credit
evaluation and recovery mechanism, our asset-backed lending model and adequate asset cover has helped maintain low
gross and net NPA levels. We provide finance to pre-owned commercial vehicle operators at a lower interest rate
compared to that provided by private financiers, making repayment more manageable for FTUs and SRTOs.
Classification of Assets
The Prudential Norms Directions, 2007, read with the NBFC Acceptance of Public Deposits Directions, 1998, as
amended, prescribed by the RBI, among other matters, require us to observe the classification of our asset; treatment of
NPAs; and provisioning against NPAs.
Each deposit-accepting NBFC is required to classify its lease/hire purchase assets, loans, advances and other forms of
credit into the following classes, namely:
Standard assets. An asset in respect of which no default in repayment of principal or payment of interest is perceived and
which does not disclose any problem nor carry more than normal risk attached to the business.
Sub-standard assets. An asset will be classified as an NPA for a period not exceeding 18 months or where the terms of
the agreement regarding interest and / or principal have been renegotiated or rescheduled after commencement of
operations, until the expiry of one year of satisfactory performance under the renegotiated or rescheduled terms.
Doubtful assets. An asset which remains a sub-standard asset for a period exceeding 18 months.
- 111 -
Loss assets. An asset which has been identified as loss asset by the NBFC or its internal or external auditor or by the RBI
during the inspection of the NBFC, to the extent that it is not written off by the NBFC; and (b) an asset which is
adversely affected by a potential threat of non-recoverability due to either erosion in the value of security or non
availability of security or due to any fraudulent act or omission on the part of the borrower.
For further information on the Prudential Norms Directions, 2007, see “Regulations and Policies”.
The Company is required, after taking into account the time lag between an account becoming non-performing, and its
recognition as such, the realization of the security, and the erosion of over time in value of the security charged, to make
provisions against sub-standard, doubtful and loan assets as per the directions issued by RBI. We also consider field
reports and collection patterns at regular intervals to anticipate the need of higher provisioning. Set out below is a brief
description of applicable RBI Guidelines on provisioning and write-offs for loans, advances and other credit facilities
including bills purchased and discounted:
Sub-standard assets: A general provision of 10.0% of the total outstanding assets is required to be made.
Doubtful assets: 100.0% provision to the extent to which the advance is not covered by the realizable value of the
security to which the NBFC has a valid recourse is required to be made. The realizable value is to be estimated on a
realistic basis. In addition to the foregoing, depending upon the period for which the asset has remained doubtful,
provision is required to be made as follows:
• if the asset has been considered doubtful for up to one year, provision to the extent of 20.0% of the secured
portion is required to be made;
• if the asset has been considered doubtful for one to three years, provision to the extent of 30.0% of the secured
portion is required to be made; and
• if the asset has been considered doubtful for more than three years, provision to the extent of 50.0% of the
secured portion is required to be made.
Loss assets: The entire asset is required to be written off. If the assets are permitted to remain in the books for any
reason, 100.0% of the outstanding assets should be provided for.
Lease and hire purchase assets: In respect of hire purchase assets, the total dues (overdue and future installments taken
collectively) as reduced by (i) the finance charges not credited in our profit and loss account and carried forward as
unmatured finance charges, and (ii) the depreciated value of the underlying asset, are required to be provided for.
Our Audit Committee has constituted a policy for making provisions in excess of the amounts prescribed by RBI and we
may make further provisions if we determine that it is prudent for a known and identified risk. Based on our policy our
provisions as of December 31, 2009 stood at Rs. 38,059.42 lacs as compared to the RBI required provision of Rs.
23,011.53 lacs.
The following table sets forth, as of the dates indicated, data regarding our NPAs:
Period Gross NPA (Rs. Net NPA (Rs. in Total Loan Assets Net Loan % of Gross % of Net NPA
in lacs) lacs) (Rs. in lacs) Assets(1) (Rs. NPA to Total to Net Loan
in lacs) Loan Assets Assets
Our Gross NPAs as a percentage of Total Loan Assets were 2.14% and 2.43% as of March 31, 2009 and December 31,
2009 respectively. Our Net NPAs as a percentage of Net Loan Assets was 0.83% and 0.67% as of March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2009, respectively. We believe that our eventual write-offs are relatively low because of our relationship
based customer origination and customer support, prudent loan approval processes, including adequate collateral being
obtained and our ability to repossess and dispose of such collateral in a timely manner.
Funding Sources
We have expanded our sources of funds in order to reduce our funding costs, protect interest margins and maintain a
diverse funding portfolio that will enable us to achieve funding stability and liquidity. Our sources of funding comprise
term loans including term loans from banks and financial institutions, cash credit from banks, redeemable non-
convertible debentures, subordinated bonds, short term commercial paper, public deposits, and inter-corporate deposits,.

Increasingly, we have depended on term loans from banks and the issue of redeemable non-convertible debentures as the
primary sources of our funding. We believe that we have developed stable long term relationships with our lenders, and
established a track record of timely servicing of our debts, and have been able to secure fixed rate long term loans of
three to five years tenure to stabilize our cost of borrowings. We have gradually decreased our dependence on public
deposits as a source of funds in order to lower our cost of funds.

In fiscal 2008 and 2009, proceeds from bank borrowings (net of repayments) was Rs. 443,172.48 lacs and Rs.
320,120.96 lacs, respectively. In the nine months ended December 31, 2009, proceeds from bank borrowings was Rs
219,120.27lacs. As of March 31, 2009, secured loans from banks aggregated Rs. 833,363.58 lacs, as compared to Rs.
505,329.28 lacs as of March 31, 2008, while as of December 31, 2009, total secured loans from banks was Rs.
972,557.48 lacs.
In fiscal 2008 and 2009, proceeds from issuance of redeemable non-convertible debentures (net of redemptions) was Rs.
119,111.61 lacs and Rs. 169,124.14 lacs, respectively. In the nine months ended December 31, 2009, proceeds from
issuance of redeemable non-convertible debentures (net of redemptions) was Rs. 70,550.19 lacs. As of March 31, 2009,
secured redeemable non-convertible debentures was Rs. 482,679.34 lacs as compared to Rs. 312,255.20 lacs as of March
31, 2008, while as of December 31, 2009, secured redeemable non-convertible debentures outstanding was Rs.
553,229.53 lacs.
Our short term fund requirements are primarily funded by cash credit from banks including working capital loans. Cash
credit from banks including working capital loans outstanding as of March 31, 2008 and 2009 was Rs. 2,25,646.66 lacs
and Rs. 3,16,623.70 lacs. As of December 31, 2009, cash credit from banks including working capital loans outstanding
was Rs. 348,910.53 lacs.
As of December 31, 2009, our outstanding subordinated debt amounted to Rs. 191,682.41 lacs, compared to Rs.
98,959.81 lacs and Rs. 154,776.25 lacs as of March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively. The debt is subordinated to our
present and future senior indebtedness. Based on the balance term to maturity, as of December 31, 2009, Rs. 123,705.81
lacs of the discounted book value of subordinated debt is considered as Tier II under the guidelines issued by the RBI for
the purpose of capital adequacy computation.
As of December 31, 2009, outstanding commercial paper amounted to Rs. 2,500 lacs as compared to Rs. 21695.00 lacs
and Rs. 48,250.00 lacs as of March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
We are registered as a deposit-taking NBFC with the RBI under Section 45IA of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934,
which authorizes us to accept deposits from the public. We do not, however, depend on deposits as our primary source
of funding. As of November 30, 2009, our deposits were rated tAA(Ind) by Fitch. As of December 31, 2009, we had
fixed deposits outstanding of Rs. 8290.59 lacs, compared to Rs. 342.00 lacs and Rs. 488.44 lacs as of March 31, 2008
and 2009, respectively.
We also avail inter-corporate deposits from time to time. As of December 31, 2009, outstanding inter-corporate deposits
amounted to Rs. 24.95 lacs as compared to Rs. 120.64 lacs and Rs.4,657.16 lacs as of March 31, 2008 and 2009,
respectively.
We also undertake securitization/assignment transactions to increase our capital adequacy ratio, increase the efficiency
of our loan portfolio and as a cost effective source of funds. We sell part of our assets under financing activities from
time to time through securitization/assignment transactions as well as direct assignment. Our securitization/assignment
transactions involve provision of additional collateral and deposits or bank/ corporate guarantee. We carried out our first
securitization/assignment transaction of Rs. 443.12 lacs in February 2000 and since then we have completed 149 more
transactions with an aggregate value of Rs. 1,277,711.75 lacs. In fiscal 2008 and 2009, total book value of loan assets
securitized/assigned was Rs. 211,822.17 lacs and Rs. 312,498.40 lacs, respectively. In the nine months ended December
31, 2009, the total book value of loan assets securitized/assigned was Rs. 326,229.88 lacs.
We continue to provide administration services for the securitized/assigned portfolio, the expenses for which are
provided for, at the outset of each transaction. The gains arising out of securitization/assignment, which vary according
to a number of factors such as the tenor of the securitized/assigned portfolio, the yield on the portfolio
securitized/assigned and the discounting rate applied, are treated as income.
The following tables set forth certain information with respect to our securitization/assignment transactions:

We are required to provide a credit enhancement for the securitization/assignment transactions by way of either fixed
deposits or corporate guarantees and the aggregate credit enhancement amount outstanding as on December 31, 2009
was Rs. 152,736.05 lacs. In the event a relevant bank or institution does not realize the receivables due under such loan
assets, such bank or institution would have recourse to such credit enhancement.
Treasury Operations
Our treasury operations are mainly focused on meeting our funding requirements and managing short term surpluses.
Our fund requirements are currently predominantly sourced through loans and by issue of debentures to banks, financial
institutions and mutual funds. We also place commercial paper and mobilize retail fixed deposits and inter-corporate
deposits. We have also raised subordinated loans eligible for Tier II capital. We believe that through our treasury
operations, we maintain our ability to repay borrowings as they mature and obtain new loans at competitive rates.
Our treasury department undertakes liquidity management by seeking to maintain an optimum level of liquidity and
complying with the RBI requirement of asset liability management. The objective is to ensure the smooth functioning of
all our branches and at the same time avoid the holding of excessive cash. Our treasury maintains a balance between
interest-earning liquid assets and cash to optimize earnings.
Our treasury department also manages the collection and disbursement activities from our head office in Mumbai. We
actively manage our cash and funds flow using various cash management services provided by banks. As part of our
treasury activities, we also invest our surplus fund in fixed deposits with banks, liquid debt-based mutual funds and
government securities. Our investments are made in accordance with the investment policy approved by the Board.
Our investments are predominantly in government securities and certificates of deposits with banks.
Capital Adequacy
We are subject to the capital adequacy ratio (“CAR”) requirements prescribed by the RBI. We are currently required to
maintain a minimum CAR of 12.00%, as prescribed under the Prudential Norms Directions, 2007, based on our total
capital to risk-weighted assets. As a part of our governance policy, we ordinarily maintain capital adequacy higher than
the statutorily prescribed CAR. As of December 31, 2009, our capital adequacy ratio was 17.07%, compared to the
minimum capital adequacy requirement of 12.00%stipulated by the RBI.
The following table sets out our capital adequacy ratios as of the dates indicated:

As of
As of March 31, December 31,
Competition
We believe that we do not face any significant competition from organized players in our principal business line, the pre-
owned commercial vehicle financing sector. Most of our customers are not a focus segment for banks or large NBFCs, as
these customers lack substantial credit history and other financial documentation on which many of such financial
institutions rely to identify and target new customers. Our experience-based valuation methodology, our expanding
product portfolio, growing customer base and relationship-based approach are key competitive advantages against new
market entrants. Our primary competition is presented by private unorganized financiers that principally operate in the
local market. These private operators have significant local market expertise, but lack brand image and organizational
structure. The small private financiers also have limited access to funds and may not be able to compete with us on
interest rates extended to borrowers, which we are able to maintain at competitive levels because of our access to a
variety of comparatively lower cost of funding sources and operational efficiencies from our scale of operations.
However, private operators may attract certain clients who are unable to otherwise comply with our loan requirements,
such as the absence of an acceptable guarantor or failure of the commercial vehicle to meet our asset valuation
benchmarks. For new commercial vehicle financing, we compete with more conventional lenders, such as banks and
other NBFCs.
Given the relatively minimal scale of our present operations in our other business lines, we do not directly compete with
others in these segments. However, as our operations in our other business lines expand, we may face significant
competition in these segments in future.
Credit Rating
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to our credit ratings as of April 30, 2010:
The Secured NCDs proposed to be issued under this Issue have been rated ‘CARE AA+’ by CARE for an amount of
upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs and ‘AA/Stable’ by CRISIL for an amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs vide their letters dated April
19, 2010 and April 27, 2010, respectively, and the Unsecured NCDs proposed to be issued under this Issue have been
rated ‘CARE AA’ by CARE for an amount of upto Rs. 50,000 Lacs and ‘AA/Stable’ by CRISIL for an amount of upto
Rs. 50,000 Lacs vide their letters dated April 19, 2010 and April 27, 2010, respectively.
Risk Management
We have developed a strong risk-assessment model in order to maintain healthy asset quality. The key risks and risk-
mitigation principles we apply to address these risks are summarized below:
- 116 -
Interest Rate Risk
Our results of operations are dependent upon the level of our net interest margins. Net interest income is the difference
between our interest income and interest expense. Since our balance sheet consists of rupee assets and predominantly
rupee liabilities, movements in domestic interest rates constitute the primary source of interest rate risk. We assess and
manage the interest rate risk on our balance sheet through the process of asset liability management. We borrow funds at
fixed and floating rates of interest, while we extend credit at fixed rates. In the absence of proper planning and in a
market where liquidity is limited, our net interest margin may decline, which may impact our revenues and ability to
exploit business opportunities.
We have developed stable long term relationships with our lenders, and established a track record of timely servicing our
debts. This has enabled us to become a preferred customer with most of the major banks and financial institutions with
whom we do business. Moreover, our valuation capabilities enable us to invest in good quality assets with stable,
attractive yields. Significantly, our loans are classified as priority sector assets by the RBI, such that these loans, when
securitized, find a ready market with various financial institutions, including our lenders.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises due to non-availability of adequate funds or non-availability of adequate funds at an appropriate
cost, or of appropriate tenure, to meet our business requirements. This risk is minimized through a mix of strategies,
including asset securitization/assignment and temporary asset liability gap.
We monitor liquidity risk through our asset liability management (“ALM”) function with the help of liquidity gap
reports. This involves the categorization of all assets and liabilities into different maturity profiles, and evaluating these
items for any mismatches in any particular maturities, especially in the short-term. The ALM policy has capped the
maximum mismatches in the various maturities in line with RBI guidelines and ALCO guidelines.
To address liquidity risk, we have developed expertise in mobilizing long-term and short-term funds at competitive
interest rates, according to the requirements of the situation. For instance, we structure our indebtedness to adequately
cover the average three-year tenure of loans we extend. As a matter of practice, we generally do not deploy funds raised
from short term borrowing for long term lending.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may occur from the default by our customers under the loan agreements with us. As
discussed above, borrower defaults and inadequate collateral may lead to higher NPAs.
We minimize credit risk by requiring that each loan must be guaranteed by another commercial vehicle operator in the
same locality as the borrower, preferably by an existing or former borrower. Furthermore, we lend on a relationship-
based model, and our high loan recovery ratios indicates the effectiveness of this approach for our target customer base.
We also employ advanced credit assessment procedures, which include verifying the identity and checking references of
the proposed customer thoroughly at the lead generation stage. Our extensive local presence also enables us to maintain
regular direct contact with our customers. In this regard, we assign personal responsibility to each member of the lead
generation team for the timely recovery of the loans they originate, closely monitoring their performance against our
Company's standards, and maintain client and truck-wise exposure limits.
Our branches collect and deposit approximately two-thirds of our customers' payments in cash. Lack of proper cash
management practices could lead to losses. To address cash management risks, we have developed advanced cash
management checks that we employ at every level to track and tally accounts. Moreover, we conduct regular audits to
ensure the highest levels of compliance with our cash management systems.
Employees
As of December 31, 2009 our total employee strength was approximately 12,823.
- 117 -
We have built a highly capable workforce primarily by recruiting and hiring fresh graduates. As our business model
does not require extensive background in banking or the financial services industry, we prefer to hire and train fresh
graduates in the particular operational aspects of our business. Moreover, we prefer to hire our workforce from the
locality in which they will operate, in order to benefit from their knowledge of the local culture, language, preferences
and territory. We emphasize both classroom training and on-the-job skills acquisition. Post recruitment, an employee
undergoes induction training to gain an understanding of the Company and our operations. Our product executives are
responsible for customer origination, loan administration and monitoring as well as loan recovery and this enables them
to develop strong relationships with our customers. We believe our transparent organizational structure ensures efficient
communication and feedback and drives our performance-driven work culture.
In a business where personal relationships are an important driver of growth, product executive attrition may lead to loss
of business. We therefore endeavor to build common values and goals throughout our organization, and strive to ensure
a progressive career path for promising employees and retention of quality intellectual capital in the Company. We
provide a performance-based progressive career path for our employees. For instance, we introduced an employee stock
option plan (“ESOP”) in 2005 for eligible employees at branch manager level and above. We believe our attrition rates
are among the lowest in the industry at managerial levels.
Intellectual Property
Pursuant to a License and User Agreement dated November 28, 2003 between our Company and SCL (formerly Shriram
Financial Services Holdings Private Limited), we are licensed to use the name "Shriram" and the associated mark for
which we pay certain royalties in the amount of 0.25% of the Company's gross income to Shriram Capital Limited, as
well as an annualized fee equivalent to 0.1% of the total gross funds mobilized by SCL for access to the database of
agents and Chit subscribers. The License and User Agreement which was valid until November 27, 2008, has been
extended until March 31, 2011.
We have also applied for registration of the trademark "AUTOMALL", “NEW LOOK” and “ONE STOP”with the
Registrar of Trademarks in India.
Technology
We use information technology as a strategic tool in our business operations to improve our overall productivity. We
believe that our information systems enable us to manage our nationwide operations network well, as well as to
effectively monitor and control risks.
All our branches are online, connected through VPN (Virtual Private Network) with our Central Server located at
Chennai Data Center and our Disaster Recovery Site located at Mumbai.

HISTORY, MAIN OBJECTS AND KEY AGREEMENTS
Our Company was incorporated as a public limited company under the provisions of the Act, by a certificate of
incorporation dated June 30, 1979, issued by the ROC, Tamil Nadu, Chennai. Our Company commenced its operations,

The Company, while accounting for such assignment, had transferred out from the books of
account all individual loan accounts assigned and had also accounted for profit / loss on
assignment in the year the portfolio was assigned. However, during the current year, the
Company has reinstated all loan balances in the books of account and has also accounted for the
amounts payable to the banks as Secured Loans including for loans assigned during the prior
years. The Company has also reversed the proportionate profit so accounted at the time of loan
assignment. This has resulted in an increase in hypothecation loans by Rs. 5,855.72 lacs,
increase in Secured loans by Rs. 6,233.49 lacs, reversal of proportionate profit by Rs. 1,131.29
lacs, accounting for interest income on such loan portfolio by Rs. 1,872.11 lacs and accounting

impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying
amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the assets,
net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value at the weighted average cost of capital.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining
useful life.
A previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reversed depending on changes in
circumstances. However the carrying value after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that
would have prevailed by charging usual depreciation if there was no impairment.

The Company has no liability for future Provident Fund benefits other than its annual contribution and
recognizes such contributions as an expense in the period it is incurred.
Gratuity
The Company provides for the gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering all employees. The
plan provides for lump sum payments to employees at retirement, death while in employment or on
termination of employment. The Company accounts for liability of future gratuity benefits based on an
external actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method carried out annually for assessing liability as
at the reporting date.
Leave Encashment
Short term compensated absences are provided for based on estimates. Long term compensated absences
are provided for based on actuarial valuation. The actuarial valuation is done as per projected unit credit
method as at the reporting date.
Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to profit and loss account and are not deferred.
The un-recognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed by the Company at each balance sheet date and are
recognized to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
The carrying cost of the deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The Company writes
down the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or
virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which
deferred tax asset can be realized. Any such write down is reversed to the extent that it becomes
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be
available.
F-240
(n) Segment reporting policies

different products and serves different markets. The analysis of geographical segments is based on the
areas in which major operating divisions of the Company operate.
Unallocated items:
Unallocated items include income and expenses which are not allocated to any reportable business
segment.
Segment Policies :
The company prepares its segment information in conformity with the accounting policies adopted
for preparing and presenting the financial statements of the company as a whole.
(o) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to
equity shareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable
to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
(p) Provisions
A provision is recognised when the company has a present obligation as a result of past event; it is
probable that outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable
estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to its present value and are determined based on best
estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance
sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

SECTION VI : ISSUE RELATED INFORMATION
The NCDs being offered as part of the Issue are subject to the provisions of the Debt Regulations, the Act, the
Memorandum and Articles of Association of our Company, the terms of this Prospectus, the Application
Forms, the terms and conditions of the Debenture Trust Deed, other applicable statutory and/or regulatory
requirements including those issued from time to time by SEBI/the Government of India/NSE, RBI, and/or
other authorities relating to the issue and listing of securities and any other documents that may be executed in
connection with the NCDs.
The Secured NCDs would constitute direct and secured obligations of ours and shall rank pari passu inter se, and
subject to any obligations under applicable statutory and/or regulatory requirements, shall also, with regard to
the amount invested, be secured by way of first and exclusive charge on the identified immovable property and the
specified future loan receivables of the company. The claims of the secured NCD holders shall be superior to the
claims of any unsecured creditors, subject to applicable statutory and/or regulatory requirements.
The Unsecured NCDs would constitute direct, unsecured and subordinated obligations of ours and shall rank pari
passu inter se, and subject to any obligations under applicable statutory and/or regulatory requirements. The
claims of the unsecured NCD holders shall be subordinated to those of the other creditors of our Company, subject
to applicable statutory and/or regulatory requirements. Our Company may, subject to applicable RBI
requirements and other applicable statutory and/or regulatory provisions, treat the Unsecured NCDs as Tier
II capital.
Section 117C of the Act states that any company that intends to issue debentures must create a DRR to which adequate
amounts shall be credited out of the profits of the company until the redemption of the debentures. The Ministry of
Corporate Affairs has, through its circular dated April 18, 2002, (“Circular”), specified that the quantum of DRR to be
created before the redemption liability actually arises in normal circumstances should be ‘adequate’ to pay the value of
the debentures plus accrued interest, (if not already paid), till the debentures are redeemed and cancelled. The Circular
however further specifies that, for NBFCs like our Company, (NBFCs which are registered with the RBI under Section
45-IA of the RBI Act), the adequacy of the DRR will be 50% of the value of debentures issued through the public issue.
Accordingly our Company is required to create a DRR of 50% of the value of debentures issued through the public issue.
As further clarified by the Circular, the amount to be credited as DRR will be carved out of the profits of the company
only if there is profit for the particular year and there is no obligation on the part of the company to create DRR if there
is no profit for the particular year. Our Company shall credit adequate amounts to DRR, from its profits every year until
such NCDs are redeemed. The amounts credited to DRR shall not be utilized by the company except for the redemption
of the NCDs.
Face Value
The NCD holders will not be entitled to any of the rights and privileges available to the equity and/or preference
shareholders of our Company.
1. The NCDs shall not, except as provided in the Act, confer upon the holders thereof any rights or privileges
available to our members including the right to receive notices or annual reports of, or to attend and/or
vote, at our general meeting. However, if any resolution affecting the rights attached to the NCDs is to
be placed before the members, the said resolution will first be placed before the concerned registered NCD
holders for their consideration. In terms of Section 219(2) of the Act, holders of NCDs shall be entitled to a
copy of the balance sheet and copy of trust deed on a specific request made to us.
2. Subject to applicable statutory/regulatory requirements, including requirements of the RBI, the rights, privileges and
conditions attached to the NCDs may be varied, modified and/or abrogated with the consent in writing of the
holders of at least three-fourths of the outstanding amount of the NCDs or with the sanction of a special
resolution passed at a meeting of the concerned NCD holders, provided that nothing in such consent or
resolution shall be operative against us, where such consent or resolution modifies or varies the terms and
conditions governing the NCDs, if the same are not acceptable to us.
3. The registered NCD holder or in case of joint-holders, the one whose name stands first in the register of
debenture holders shall be entitled to vote in respect of such NCDs, either in person or by proxy, at any
meeting of the concerned NCD holders and every such holder shall be entitled to one vote on a show of
hands and on a poll, his/her voting rights shall be in proportion to the outstanding nominal value of NCDs held
by him/her on every resolution placed before such meeting of the NCD holders.
4. The NCDs are subject to the provisions of the Debt Regulations, the Act, the Memorandum and Articles of Association
of our Company, the terms of this Prospectus, the Application Forms, the terms and conditions of the Debenture Trust
Deed, requirements of the RBI, other applicable statutory and/or regulatory requirements relating to the issue and
listing, of securities and any other documents that may be executed in connection with the NCDs.
5. A register of NCD holders will be maintained in accordance with Section 152 of the Act and all interest and
principal sums becoming due and payable in respect of the NCDs will be paid to the registered holder
thereof for the time being or in the case of joint-holders, to the person whose name stands first in the
Register of NCD holders as on the record date.
6. Subject to compliance with RBI requirements, NCDs can be rolled over only with the consent of 75% of the
NCD holders after providing at least 21 days prior notice for such roll over and in accordance with the Debt
Regulations. The Company shall redeem the debt securities of all the debt securities holders, who have not
given their positive consent to the roll-over.
The aforementioned rights of the NCD holders are merely indicative. The final rights of the NCD holders will be
as per the Debenture Trust Deed to be executed between the Company and the Debenture Trustee.

allotment, the entire subscription shall be refunded to the applicants within 30 days from the date of closure of the Issue.
If there is delay in the refund of subscription by more than 8 days after our Company becomes liable to pay the
subscription amount, our Company will pay interest for the delayed period, at rates prescribed under sub-sections (2) and

specimen signature of the nominee is purely optional.

holder(s) may be requested to surrender the Unsecured NCD certificate(s) in the manner as stated above, not more

contained in the Articles and the Act shall apply, mutatis mutandis (to the extent applicable to debentures) to the

transfer as may be prescribed by the Issuer may be used for the same. The Unsecured NCDs held in
dematerialised form shall be transferred subject to and in accordance with the rules/procedures as prescribed by
NSDL/CDSL and the relevant DPs of the transfer or transferee and any other applicable laws and rules notified

appears in the register of debenture holders maintained by the Depositories. In such cases, claims, if any, by the
transferees would need to be settled with the transferor(s) and not with the Issuer or Registrar.
The normal procedure followed for transfer of securities held in dematerialised form shall be followed for transfer
of these Unsecured NCDs held in electronic form. The seller should give delivery instructions containing details of
the buyer’s DP account to his depository participant.
In case the transferee does not have a DP account, the seller can re-materialise the Unsecured NCDs and thereby
convert his dematerialised holding into physical holding. Thereafter the Unsecured NCDs can be transferred in the
manner as stated above.
In case the buyer of the Unsecured NCDs in physical form wants to hold the Unsecured NCDs in dematerialised
form, he can choose to dematerialise the securities through his DP.
Joint-holders

holders with benefits of survivorship subject to other provisions contained in the Articles.
Sharing of Information
We may, at our option, use on our own, as well as exchange, share or part with any financial or other

hitherto are not subjected to the difficulties of securing the permanent account number when they do not have
any assessable income are now compelled to obtain a permanent account number and produce the same before
tax deductors which may cause inconvenience to the depositors or debenture holders of small amounts and in
turn affects the business of our Company.

REGULATIONS AND POLICIES
The regulations summarised below are not exhaustive and are only intended to provide general information to Investors
and is neither designed nor intended to be a substitute for any professional legal advice. Taxation statutes such as the IT
Act, Central Sales Tax Act, 1956 and applicable local sales tax statutes, labour regulations such as the Employees State
Insurance Act, 1948 and the Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Act, 1952, and other miscellaneous
regulations such as the Trade and Merchandise Marks Act, 1958 and applicable Shops and Establishments statutes
apply to us as they do to any other Indian company and therefore have not been detailed below. The following
information is based on the current provisions of applicable Indian law, which are subject to change or modification by
subsequent legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial decisions.
As per the RBI Act, a financial institution has been defined as a company which includes a non-banking institution
carrying on as its business or part of its business the financing activities, whether by way of making loans or advances or
otherwise, of any activity, other than its own and it is engaged in the activities of loans and advances, acquisition of
shares/stock/bonds/debentures/securities issued by the Government of India or other local authorities or other marketable
securities of like nature, leasing, hire-purchase, insurance business, chit business but does not include any institution
whose principal business is that of carrying out any agricultural or industrial activities or the sale/purchase/construction
of immovable property.
Any company which carries on the business of a non-banking financial institution as its principal business is to be treated
as an NBFC. Since the term 'principal business' has not been defined in law, the RBI has clarified through a press release
(Ref. No. 1998-99/ 1269) in 1999, that in order to identify a particular company as an NBFC, it will consider both the
assets and the income pattern as evidenced from the last audited balance sheet of the company to decide its principal
business. The company will be treated as an NBFC if its financial assets are more than 50 per cent of its total assets
(netted off by intangible assets) and income from financial assets should be more than 50 per cent of the gross income.
Both these tests are required to be satisfied as the determinant factor for principal business of a company.
With effect from 1997, NBFCs were not permitted to commence or carry on the business of a non banking financial
institution without obtaining a Certificate of Registration (CoR). Further, with a view to imparting greater financial
soundness and achieving the economies of scale in terms of efficiency of operations and higher managerial skills, the
RBI has raised the requirement of minimum net owned fund from Rs. 2.5 million to Rs. 20 million for the NBFC which
commences business on or after April 21, 1999. Further, every NBFC is required to submit to the RBI a certificate,
from its statutory auditor within one month from the date of finalization of the balance sheet and in any case not later
than December 30th of that year, stating that it is engaged in the business of non-banking financial institution requiring it
to hold a CoR.
NBFCs are primarily governed by the RBI Act, 1934 (“RBI Act”), the Non-Banking Financial (Deposit
Accepting or Holding) Companies Prudential Norms (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2007, (“APD Directions”),
the Non-Banking Financial Companies Acceptance of Public Deposits (Reserve Bank) Directions, 1998,
(“Public Deposit Directions”), the Non-Banking Financial (Non-Deposit Accepting or Holding) Companies
Prudential Norms (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2007 (“Non- Deposit Accepting NBFC Directions”), and the
provisions of the Non- Banking Financial Companies Prudential Norms (Reserve Bank) Directions, 1998. In
addition to these regulations, NBFCs are also governed by various circulars, notifications, guidelines and
directions issued by the RBI from time to time.
Although by definition, NBFCs are permitted to operate in similar sphere of activities as banks, there are a few
important, key differences. The most important distinctions are:
(i) an NBFC cannot accept deposits repayable on demand – in other words, NBFCs can only accept fixed
term deposits. Thus, NBFCs are not permitted to issue negotiable instruments, such as cheques which
are payable on demand; and
- 217 -
(ii) NBFCs are not allowed to deal in foreign exchange, even if they specifically apply to the RBI for
approval in this regard.
3. Types of NBFCs:
Section 45-IA of the RBI Act makes it mandatory for every NBFC to get itself registered with the Reserve Bank
in order to be able to commence any of the aforementioned activities.
Further, an NBFC may be registered as a deposit accepting NBFC (“NBFC-D”) or as a non-deposit accepting
NBFC (“NBFC-ND”).
Our Company has been classified as an NBFC-D and is further classified as an “asset finance company”. An
asset finance company is an NBFC whose principal business is to finance physical assets supporting productive
/ economic activity, such as automobiles, tractors, lathe machines, generator sets, earth moving and material
handling equipments, moving on own power and general purpose industrial machines.
Section 45-IA of the RBI Act provides that to carry on the business of a NBFC, an entity would have to register
as an NBFC with the RBI and would be required to have a minimum net owned fund of Rs. 2,00,00,000
(Rupees two crore only). For this purpose, the RBI Act has defined “net owned fund” to mean:
(a) the aggregate of the paid-up equity capital and free reserves as disclosed in the latest balance sheet of the
company, after deducting (i) accumulated balance of losses, (ii) deferred revenue expenditure, and (iii) other
intangible assets; and
(1) investment by such companies in shares of (i) its subsidiaries, (ii) companies in the same group, (iii)
other NBFCs, and
(2) the book value of debentures, bonds, outstanding loans and advances (including hire purchase and
lease finance) made to, and deposits with (i) subsidiaries of such companies; and (ii) companies in the
same group,
Reserve Fund
In addition to the above, Section 45-IC of the RBI Act requires NBFCs to create a reserve fund and transfer
therein a sum of not less than 20% of its net profits earned annually before declaration of dividend. Such sum
cannot be appropriated by the NBFC except for the purpose as may be specified by the RBI from time to time
and every such appropriation is required to be reported to the RBI within 21 days from the date of such
withdrawal.
- 218 -
Maintenance of liquid assets
The RBI through notification dated January 31, 1998, as amended has prescribed that every NBFC shall invest
and continue to invest in unencumbered approved securities valued at a price not exceeding the current market
price of such securities an amount which shall, at the close of business on any day be not less than 10% in
approved securities and the remaining in unencumbered term deposits in any scheduled commercial bank; the
aggregate of which shall not be less than 15% of the public deposit outstanding at the last working day of the
second preceding quarter.
The RBI’s Public Deposit Directions governs the manner in which NBFCs may accept and/or hold public
deposits. The Public Deposit Directions places the following restrictions on NBFCs in connection with
accepting public deposits:
1. Prohibition from accepting any demand deposits: NBFCs are prohibited from accepting any public deposit
which is repayable on demand.

• Sub-standard assets;
• Doubtful assets; and
• Loss assets.

of security charged, make provision against sub-standard assets, doubtful assets and loss assets in the
manner prescribed by RBI.
iii) Loans against NBFC’s own shares prohibited: No NBFC-D can lend against its own shares, as of July
1, 2008. Any outstanding loan granted by a NBFC-D against its own shares on the date of
commencement of these Directions shall be recovered by the NBFC as per the repayment schedule.
iv) NBFC failing to repay public deposit prohibited from making loans and investments: A NBFC-D
which has failed to repay any public deposit or part thereof in accordance with the terms and
conditions of such deposit, cannot grant any loan or other credit facility by whatever name called or

at any point of time, must not exceed one hundred per cent of Tier I capital.
vii) Disclosure Requirements: Every NBFC-D is required to separately disclose in its balance sheet the
provisions made in accordance with the applicable prudential norms prescribed by the RBI without
netting them from the income or against the value of assets. Further, the provisions must be distinctly
indicated under separate heads of account as under:
Such provisions shall not be appropriated from the general provisions and loss reserves held, if any, by
the NBFC-D and for each year shall be debited to the profit and loss account. The excess of provisions,
if any, held under the heads general provisions and loss reserves may be written back without making
adjustment against them.
viii) Monthly Return: Every NBFC with total assets of Rs. 100 crore and above according to the previous
21 days audited balance sheet, is required to submit a monthly return within a period of 7 days of the
expiry of the month to which it pertains in the prescribed format to the Regional Office of the
Department of Non-Banking Supervision of the RBI.
ix) Fair Practices Code: The RBI has framed the fair practice guidelines, to promote good and fair
practices by setting minimum standards to be adhered to by NBFCs in dealing with customers. These
guidelines require NBFCs to ensure that they meet the commitments and standards specified therein
- 220 -
for the products and services they offer and in the procedures and practices their staff follows, their
products and services meet relevant laws and regulations in letter and spirit, and their dealings with
customers rest on ethical principles of integrity and transparency. Further, the said guidelines prescribe
the requirements in connection with information to be provided and disclosures to be made by NBFCs
to their customers. Accordingly, the guidelines require NBFCs to provide information on interest rates,
common fees and charges, provide clear information explaining the key features of their services and
products that customers are interested in, provide information on any type of product and service
offered, that may suit the customer’s needs, tell the customers about the various means through which
products and services are offered, and provide more information on the key features of the products,
including applicable interest rates / fees and charges.
x) KYC Guidelines: NBFCs have been advised to follow certain customer identification procedure for
opening of accounts and monitoring transactions of suspicious nature for the purpose of reporting it to
appropriate authority, (“KYC Norms”). Accordingly, NBFCs have been advised to ensure that a
proper policy framework on ‘know your customer’ and anti-money laundering measures is formulated
and put in place with the approval of the RBI. The KYC Norms also require that while preparing
operational guidelines NBFCs may keep in mind to treat the information collected from the customer
for the purpose of opening of account as confidential and not divulge any details thereof for cross
selling or any other purposes. NBFCs may, therefore, ensure that information sought from the
customer is relevant to the perceived risk, is not intrusive, and is in conformity with the guidelines
issued in this regard. Any other information from the customer should be sought separately with his
/her consent and after opening the account.
As per RBI Circular dated February 4, 2009 all NBFCs with assets size of Rs. 10,000 lacs and above is required to
furnish at the regional office of the RBI under whose jurisdiction the registered office of the NBFC is functioning,
information relating to the downgrading and upgrading of assigned rating of any financial products issued by them
within 15 days of such change.
RBI through its circular dated May 24, 2007 directed all NBFCs to put in place appropriate internal principles and
procedures in determining interest rates and processing and other charges. In addition to the aforesaid instruction RBI
has issued a circular dated January 2, 2009 and a master circular on Fair Practices Code dated July 1, 2009 for regulating
the excessive rates of interest charged by the NBFCs. The aforementioned circular and the master circular stipulate that
the board of each NBFC shall adopt an interest rate model taking into account the various relevant factors such as cost of
funds, margin and risk premium etc. The rate of interest and the approach for gradation of risk and the rationale for
charging different rates of interest for different categories of borrowers shall be required to be disclosed to the borrowers
in the application form and communicated explicitly in the sanction letter. Further, the same is also required to be made
available on the company’s website or be published in the relevant newspapers and is required to be updated in the event
of any change therein. Further, the rate of interest would have to be annualized rates so that that the borrower is aware of
the exact rates that would be charged to the account.
7. Corporate Governance
Pursuant to RBI circular (DNBS.PD/CC 94/03.10.042/2006-07) dated May 8, 2007, the RBI has proposed
certain corporate governance guidelines for the consideration of all NBFC–D with an asset size of Rs. 20 crore
or more. The guidelines recommend that such NBFCs constitute an Audit Committee, a Nomination Committee
(to ensure that fit and proper persons are nominated as directors on their respective boards) and a Risk
Management Committee to institute risk management systems. The guidelines have also issued instructions
relating to credit facilities to directors, loans and advances to relatives of the directors of the said NBFCs or to
the directors of other companies and their relatives and other entities, timeframe for recovery of such loans, etc.
Such NBFCs are also required to frame internal corporate governance guidelines based on the guidelines issued
by the RBI on May 8, 2007.
In such cases our profit/ loss for the preceding years might not be strictly comparable with the profit/ loss for
the period for which such accounting policy changes are being made.
The statutory auditor of the NBFC-D is required to submit to the Board of Directors of the company a report
inter-alia certifying that the Directors have passed the requisite resolution(s), has complied with the prudential
norms relating to income recognition, accounting standards, asset classification and provisioning for bad and
doubtful debts as applicable to it. In the event of non-compliance, the statutory auditors are required to directly
report the same to the RBI.
FEMA Regulations
Foreign investment in India is governed primarily by the provisions of the FEMA which relates to regulation primarily
by the RBI and the rules, regulations and notifications thereunder, and the policy prescribed by the Department of
Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), GoI which is regulated by the FIPB.
The RBI, in exercise of its power under the FEMA, has notified the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of
Security by a Person Resident Outside India) Regulations, 2000 (“FEMA Regulations”) to prohibit, restrict or regulate,
transfer by or issue of security to a person resident outside India. As laid down by the FEMA Regulations, no prior
consent and approval is required from the RBI, for FDI under the “automatic route” within the specified sectoral caps. In
respect of all industries not specified as FDI under the automatic route, and in respect of investment in excess of the
specified sectoral limits under the automatic route, approval may be required from the FIPB and/or the RBI.
FDI in an Indian company is governed by the provisions of the FEMA read with the FEMA Regulations and the Foreign
Direct Investment Policy (“FDI Policy”) by the DIPP. FDI is permitted (except in the prohibited sectors) in Indian
companies either through the automatic route or the approval route, depending upon the sector in which FDI is sought to
be made. Under the automatic route, no prior Government approval is required for the issue of securities by Indian
companies/ acquisition of securities of Indian companies, subject to the sectoral caps and other prescribed conditions.
Investors are required to file the required documentation with the RBI within 30 days of such issue/ acquisition of
securities.
Under the approval route, prior approval from the FIPB or RBI is required. FDI for the items/ activities that cannot be
brought in under the automatic route (other than in prohibited sectors) may be brought in through the approval route.
Further:
(a) As per the sector specific guidelines of the Government of India, 100% FDI/ NRI investments are allowed
under the automatic route in certain NBFC activities subject to compliance with guidelines of the RBI in this
regard.
(d) Foreign investors can set up 100% operating subsidiaries without the condition to disinvest a minimum of 25%
of its equity to Indian entities, subject to bringing in US$ 50 million as at (b) (iii) above(without any restriction
on number of operating subsidiaries without bringing in additional capital)
(e) Joint ventures operating NBFC’s that have 75% or less than 75% foreign investment will also be allowed to set
up subsidiaries for undertaking other NBFC activities, subject to the subsidiaries also complying with the
applicable minimum capital inflow i.e. (b) (i) and (b)(ii) above.
Where FDI is allowed on an automatic basis without FIPB approval, the RBI would continue to be the primary agency
for the purposes of monitoring and regulating foreign investment. In cases where FIPB approval is obtained, no approval
of the RBI is required except with respect to fixing the issuance price, although a declaration in the prescribed form,
detailing the foreign investment, must be filed with the RBI once the foreign investment is made in the Indian company.
The foregoing description applies only to an issuance of shares by, and not to a transfer of shares of, Indian companies.
Every Indian company issuing shares or convertible debentures in accordance with the RBI regulations is required to
submit a report to the RBI within 30 days of receipt of the consideration and another report within 30 days from the date
of issue of the shares to the non resident purchaser.

employment in shops and commercial establishments and generally prescribe obligations in respect of inter alia
registration, opening and closing hours, daily and weekly working hours, holidays, leave, health and safety measures and
wages for overtime work.
