Year End :2024-03 

4.7 Provisions, contingent liabilities and Commitment

The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. The Company also discloses present obligations for which a reliable estimate cannot be made as a contingent liability. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Commitments are future liabilities, which include undrawn loan commitments, estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for.

4.8 Retirement and other employee benefits

(a) Short term employee benefits

The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised during the year when the employees render the service. These benefits include performance incentive and compensated absences which are expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service. The liability for accumulated leaves which is eligible for encashment within the same calendar year is provided for at prevailing salary rate for the entire unavailed leave balance as at the Balance Sheet date.

(b) Employment benefit plans

The Company operates defined contribution, defined benefit and other long term service benefits.

Payment to defined contribution plans i.e. provident Fund and employees' state insurance are charged as an expenses as the employee render service.

Defined benefit plans for gratuity is funded by the Company. Payment for present liability of future payment of gratuity is made to the approved gratuity fund viz. Bajaj Auto Limited gratuity fund trust, which covers the same under cash accumulation policy and debt fund of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Company Limited (BALIC). However, any deficits in plan assets managed by LIC and BALIC as compared to actuarial liability determined by an appointed actuary are recognised as a liability. Actuarial liability is computed using the projected unit credit method. The Calculation includes assumptions with regard to discount rate, salary escalation rate, attrition rate and mortality rate. Management determines these assumptions in consultation with the plan's actuaries and past trend. Gains and losses through remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability/assets are recognised immediately in the Balance Sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. The effect of any planned amendments are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

(c) Share based payments

The Company enters into equity settled share-based payment arrangement with its employees as compensation for the provision of their services. The Holding Company determines the fair value of the employee stock options on the grant date using the Black Scholes model. The total cost of the share option is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the grant. The cost attributable to the services rendered by the employees of the Company is recognised as employee benefits expenses in profit or loss.

4.9 Fair value measurement

The Company measures its qualifying financial instruments at fair value on each balance sheet date.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

In case of financial instruments are classified on the basis of valuation techniques that features one or more significant market inputs that are unobservable, then measurement of fair value becomes more judgemental. Details on level 3 financial instruments along with sensitivity and assumptions are set out in note no. 49.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy into Level I, Level II and Level III based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. For a detailed information on the fair value hierarchy, refer note no. 48 and 49.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy.

4.10 Collateral Repossession

The nature of products across these broad product categories are either unsecured or secured by collateral. Although collateral is an important risk mitigant of credit risk, the Company's practice is to lend on the basis of assessment of the customer's ability to repay rather than placing primary reliance on collateral. Based on the nature of product and the Company's assessment of the customer's credit risk, a loan may be offered with suitable collateral. Depending on its form, collateral can have a significant financial effect in mitigating the Company's credit risk.

The Company periodically monitors the market value of collateral and evaluates its exposure and loan to value metrics for high risk customers. The Company resorts to invoking its right under the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest (SARFAESI) Act, 2002 and other judicial remedies available against its mortgages and commercial lending business. The repossessed assets are either sold through auction or released to delinquent customers in case they come forward to settle their dues.

4.11 Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Ministry of Corporate Affairs ('MCA') notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended 31 March 2024, MCA has not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.

Nature and purpose of other equity

i. Securities premium

Securities premium is used to record the premium on issue of shares. It can be utilised only for limited purposes in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

ii. Statutory Reserve in terms of Section 29C of the National Housing Bank Act, 1987

Reserve Fund is created as per the Section 29C of the National Housing Bank Act, 1987, which requires every housing finance company to create a reserve fund and transfer therein a sum not less than twenty percent of its net profit every year as disclosed in the profit and loss account and before any dividend is declared. The Company has transferred twenty percent of it's net profit during the previous year to the reserve fund. This includes Special Reserve created to avail the deduction as per the provisions of Section 36(1) (viii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 on profits derived from the business of providing long-term finance for construction or purchase of houses in India for residential purposes.

iii. Retained earnings

Retained earnings represents the surplus in profit and loss account after appropriation.

The Company recognises change on account of remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability/ (asset) as part of retained earnings with separate disclosure, which comprises of:

(a) actuarial gains and losses; and

(b) return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability/(asset).

iv. Other comprehensive income (a) On loans

The Company recognises changes in the fair value of debt instruments held with a dual business objective of collect and sell in other comprehensive income. These changes are accumulated in the FVOCI debt investments reserve. The Company transfers amounts from this reserve to profit or loss when the debt instrument is sold. Any impairment loss on such instruments is reclassified immediately to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

45. Capital

The Company actively manages its capital base to cover risks inherent to its business and meets the capital adequacy requirements of the regulator, the Reserve Bank of India. The adequacy of the Company's capital is monitored using, among other measures, the regulations issued by the RBI.

(i) Capital management Objective

The Company's objective is to maintain appropriate levels of capital to support its business strategy taking into account the regulatory, economic and commercial environment. The Company aims to maintain a strong capital base to support its growth strategy and the risks inherent to its business. The Company endeavours to maintain a higher capital base than the mandated regulatory capital at all times.

Planning

The Company's assessment of capital requirement is aligned to its planned growth which forms part of an annual operating plan which is approved by the Board and also a long range strategy. These growth plans are aligned to assessment of risks- which include credit, liquidity and interest rate.

The Company monitors its capital to risk weighted assets ratio (CRAR) on a monthly basis through its assets liability management committee (ALCO).

The Company endeavours to maintain its CRAR higher than the mandated regulatory norm. Accordingly, increase in capital is planned well in advance to ensure adequate funding for its growth.

47. Events after reporting date

There have been no events after the reporting date that require adjustment in these financial statements.

The Company has allotted 1,10,74,19,709 equity shares having face value of H 10 each under right issue to its Holding Company (Bajaj Finance Limited) on 3 April 2024 at a premium of H 8.06 per share involving aggregate amount of H 19,99,99,99,944.54.

48. Fair values

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. an exit price), regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique.

In order to show how fair values have been derived, financial instruments are classified based on a hierarchy of valuation techniques.

This note describes the fair value measurement of both financial and non-financial instruments.

Valuation framework

The Company has an internal fair value assessment team which assesses the fair values for assets qualifying for fair valuation.

The Company's valuation framework includes:

• Benchmarking prices against observable market prices or other independent sources;

• Development and validation of fair valuation models using model logic, inputs, outputs and adjustments.

These valuation models are subject to a process of due diligence and validation before they become operational and are continuously calibrated. These models are subject to approvals by various functions including risk, treasury and finance functions. Finance function is responsible for establishing procedures, governing valuation and ensuring fair values are in compliance with accounting standards.

Valuation methodologies adopted

Fair values of financial assets, other than those which are subsequently measured at amortised cost, have been arrived at as under:

• Fair values of investments held for trading under FVTPL have been determined under level 1 (refer note 49) using quoted market prices of the underlying instruments;

• Fair value of loans held for a business model that is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and partially selling the loans through partial assignment to willing buyers and which contain contractual terms that give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest are measured at FVOCI. The fair value of these loans have been determined under level 3.

The Company has determined that the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, short term loans, floating rate loans, trade payables, short term debts, borrowings, bank overdrafts and other current liabilities are a reasonable approximation of their fair value and hence their carrying value are deemed to be fair value.

49. Fair value hierarchy

The Company determines fair values of financial instruments according to the following hierarchy:

Level 1- valuation based on quoted market price: financial instruments with quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets that the Company can access at the measurement date.

Level 2- valuation using observable inputs: financial instruments with quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets and financial instruments valued using models where all significant inputs are observable.

Level 3- valuation technique with significant unobservable inputs: financial instruments valued using valuation techniques where one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

(a) Liquidity and funding risk

The Company's ALCO monitors asset liability mismatches to ensure that there are no imbalances or excessive concentrations on either side of the Balance Sheet.

The Company maintains a judicious mix of borrowings from banks, money markets and continues to diversify its sources of borrowings with an emphasis on longer tenor borrowings. This strategy of balancing varied sources of funds and long tenor borrowings along with liquidity buffer framework has helped the Company maintain a healthy asset liability position and cost of borrowing during the year ended 31 March 2024, weighted daily average cost of borrowing was 7.71% versus 6.88% despite highly uncertain market conditions.

The overall borrowings including debt securities stood at H 69,129 crore as of 31 March 2024(previous year H 53,745 crore).

The Company continuously monitors liquidity in the market; and as a part of its ALM strategy maintains a liquidity buffer through an active investment desk to reduce this risk. The Company endeavours to maintain liquidity buffer in the range of 5% to 7% of its overall borrowings in normal market scenario. The average liquidity buffer for FY2024 was H 3,624 crore. Liquidity buffer was at H 2,002 crore as on 31 March 2024.

RBI vide Circular No. RBI/2019-20/88 DOR.NBFC (PD) CC. No.102/03.10.001/2019-20 has issued guidelines on liquidity risk framework for NBFCs. It covers various aspects of Liquidity risk management such as granular level classification of buckets in structural liquidity statement, tolerance limits thereupon, and liquidity risk management tools and principles. The Company has a Liquidity Risk Management Framework which covers liquidity risk management policy, strategies and practices, liquidity coverage ratio (LCR), stress testing, contingency funding plan, maturity profiling, liquidity risk measurement - stock approach, currency risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk monitoring framework.

The Company exceeds the regulatory requirement of LCR which mandate maintaining prescribed coverage of expected net cash outflows for a stressed scenario in the form of high quality liquid assets (HQLA).

As of 31 March 2024, the Company maintained a LCR of 192.31%, well in excess of the RBI's stipulated norm of 85%. LCR requirement will move to 100% by December 2024.

The Company has a Board approved Contingency Funding Plan (CFP) to respond quickly to any anticipated or actual stressed market conditions. The primary goal of the Contingency Funding Plan (CFP) is to provide a framework of action plan for contingency funding when the company experiences a reduction to its liquidity position, either from causes unique to the Company or systemic events limiting its ability to maintain normal operations and service to customers. The CFP defines the framework to assess, measure, monitor, and respond to potential contingency funding needs. CFP also clearly lays down the Specific contingency funding sources, conditions related to the use of these sources and when they would be used. Roles and responsibilities of the Crisis Management Group constituted under the CFP have been identified to facilitate the effective execution of CFP in a contingency event.

Classification of financial assets under various stages

The Company classifies its financial assets in three stages having the following characteristics:

• stage 1: unimpaired and without significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition on which a 12-month allowance for ECL is recognised;

• stage 2: a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition on which a lifetime ECL is recognised; and

• stage 3: objective evidence of impairment, and are therefore considered to be in default or otherwise credit impaired on which a lifetime ECL is recognised.

Treatment and classification methodology of different stages of financial assets is detailed in note no. 4.4 (i) Computation of impairment on financial instruments

The Company calculates impairment on financial instruments as per ECL approach prescribed under Ind AS 109 'Financial instrument'. ECL uses three main components: PD (Probability of Default), LGD (loss given default) and EAD (exposure at default) along with an adjustment considering forward macro economic conditions. For further details of computation of ECL please refer to significant accounting policies note no 4.4(i).

The Company recalibrates components of its ECL model periodically by; (1) using the available incremental and recent information, except where such information do not represent the future outcome, and (2) assessing changes to its statistical techniques for a granular estimation of ECL. Accordingly, during the year, the Company has redeveloped its ECL model and implemented the same with the approval of Audit Committee and the Board. The Company follows simplified ECL approach under Ind AS 109 'Financial instruments' for trade receivables, and other financial assets.

The table below summarises the approach adopted by the Company for various components of ECL viz. PD,

EAD and LGD across product lines using empirical data where relevant:

Collateral valuation

The Company offers loans to customers across various lending verticals as articulated above. These loans includes both unsecured loans and loans secured by collateral. Although collateral is an important risk mitigant of credit risk, the Company's practice is to lend on the basis of assessment of the customer's ability to repay rather than placing primary reliance on collateral. Based on the nature of product and the Company's assessment of the customer's credit risk, a loan may be offered with suitable collateral. Depending on its form, collateral can have a significant financial effect in mitigating the Company's credit risk.

Analysis of Concentration Risk

The Company focuses on granulisation of loans portfolios by expanding its geographic reach to reduce geographic concentrations while continually calibrating its product mix across its five categories of lending mentioned above.

ECL sensitivity analysis to forward economic conditions and management overlay

Allowance for impairment on financial instruments recognised in the financial statements reflect the effect of a range of possible economic outcomes, calculated on a probability-weighted basis, based on the economic scenarios described below. The recognition and measurement of expected credit losses ('ECL) involves the use of estimation. It is necessary to formulate multiple forward-looking economic forecasts and its impact as an integral part of ECL model.

The ECL model and its input variables are recalibrated periodically using available incremental and recent information. It is possible that internal estimates of PD and LGD rates used in the ECL model may not always capture all the characteristics of the market and the external environment as at the reporting date. To reflect this, qualitative adjustments or overlays are made as temporary adjustments to reflect the emerging risks reasonably.

Methodology

The Company has adopted the use of three scenarios, representative of its view of forecast economic conditions, required to calculate unbiased estimation of forward looking economic adjustment to its ECL. They represent a most likely outcome i.e. central scenario and two less likely outer scenarios referred to as the Upside and Downside scenarios. The Company has assigned a 10% probability to the two outer scenarios, while the Central scenario has been assigned an 80% probability. These weights are deemed appropriate for the unbiased estimation of impact of macro factors on ECL. The key scenario assumptions are used keeping in mind external forecasts and management estimates which ensure that the scenarios are unbiased.

The Company uses multiple economic factors and test their correlations with past loss trends witnessed for building its forward economic guidance (FEG) model. During the current year, the Company evaluated various macro factors GDP growth rates, growth of bank credit, wholesale price index (WP), consumer price index (CP), industrial production index, unemployment rate, crude oil prices and policy interest rates.

Based on past correlation trends, CPI (inflation) and GDP growth rates reflected acceptable correlation with past loss trends and were considered appropriate by the Management. GDP has a direct relation with the income levels whereas Inflation and inflationary expectations affect the disposable income of people. Accordingly, both these macro-variables directly and indirectly impact the economy. These factors were assigned appropriate weights to measure ECL in forecast economic conditions.

For GDP growth rate data, the Company has considered data published by Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation, Government of India.

- While formulating the Central Scenario, the Company has considered moving average data of last 2 years and used Exponential Smoothing (ETS) algorithm for forecasting purpose.

- For the downside scenario, the Company believes that the downside risks might have passed, however, the downside nominal GDP growth rate might reach 0%. However, as per mean reversion approach, the downside scenario assumes it to recover from the peak and normalise to around 8% within next three years.

- For the upside scenario, the Company acknowledges various surveys and studies indicating improving economic situation and estimates nominal GDP growth rate might reach to 19%. Subsequently, as per mean reversion approach, the upside scenario assumes it to normalize from the peak and normalise to around 8% within next three years.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) projected CPI inflation for year FY 2024-25 at 4.5%, with Q1 at 4.9%, Q2 at 3.8%, Q3 at 4.6%, and Q4 at 4.5%.

- The Central Scenario assumed by the Company considered inflation of around 5.5%- 6% on conservative basis average inflation trend of last three years.

- For the downside scenario, the Company considers that the inflation risk may continue due to various uncertainties (geopolitical conflict, elections etc), and therefore assumes the inflation to touch a peak of around 9% and subsequently normalise to around 6% within next three years.

- For the upside scenario, we believe that there would be certain factors which might come into play viz, base effect, higher food grain production, continuously falling WPI, better supply chain management etc, and, therefore, inflation may see easing to a base of around 3% before averaging back 6% within next three years.

Additionally, the ECL model and its input variables are recalibrated periodically using available incremental and recent information. It is possible that internal estimates of PD and LGD rates used in the ECL model may not always capture all the characteristics of the market / external environment as at the date of the financial statements. To reflect this, qualitative adjustments or overlays are made as temporary adjustments to reflect the emerging risks reasonably.

(d) Operational risk

Operational risk is the risk arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems, or from external events. Operational risk is inherent in the Company's business activities, as well as in the related support functions. BHFL has in place an internal Operational Risk Management (ORM) Framework to manage operational risk in an effective and efficient manner. This framework aims at assessing and measuring the magnitude of risks, its monitoring and mitigation. The key objective is to enable the Company to ascertain an increased likelihood of an operational risk event occurring in a timely manner to take steps to mitigate the same. It starts with identifying and defining KRI's/KPIs through process analysis and ending with formulation of action plans in response to the observed trends in the identified metrics. This is achieved through determining key process areas, converting them to measurable and quantifiable metrics, setting tolerance thresholds for the same and monitoring and reporting on breaches of the tolerance thresholds in respect of these metrics. Corrective actions are initiated to bring back the breached metrics within their acceptable threshold limits by conducting the root cause analysis to identify the failure of underlying process, people, systems, or external events.

Further, the Company has a comprehensive internal control systems and procedures laid down around various key activities viz. loan acquisition, customer service, IT operations, finance function etc. Internal Audit also conducts a detailed review of all the functions at least once a year which helps to identify process gaps on timely basis. Information Technology and Operations functions have a dedicated compliance and control units who on continuous basis review internal processes. This enables the Management to evaluate key areas of operational risks and the process to adequately mitigate them on an ongoing basis.

The Company has a robust Disaster Recovery (DR) plan and Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to ensure continuity of its operations including services to customers in situations such as natural disasters, technological outage, etc. Robust periodic testing is carried, and results are analysed to address any gaps in the framework. DR and BCP audits are conducted on a periodical basis to provide assurance regarding its effectiveness.

A. Qualitative Disclosure Financial Risk Management

The Company has to manage various risks associated with the lending business. These risks include liquidity risk, interest rate risk and counterparty risk.

The Investment and market risk policy, ALM Policy and currency and interest rate risk hedging policy as approved by the Board sets limits for exposures on various parameters. The Company manages its interest rate in accordance with the guidelines prescribed therein.

Liquidity risk and Interest rate risks, arising out of maturity mismatch of assets and liabilities, are managed through regular monitoring of maturity profiles. As a part of Asset Liability Management, the Company has also entered into interest rate swaps wherein it has converted a portion of its fixed rate rupee liabilities into floating rate liability. Counter party risk is reviewed periodically to ensure that exposure to various counter parties is well diversified and is within the limits specified by policy.

Constituents of Hedge Management Framework

Financial Risk Management of the Company constitutes the Audit & Governance Committee, Asset Liability Committee (ALCO), Investment Committee and the Risk Management Committee.

The Company periodically monitors various counter party risk and market risk limits, within the risk architecture and processes of the Company.

Hedging Policy

The Company has a Interest rate risk and currency risk hedging approved by the Board of Directors. For derivative contracts designated as hedges, the Company documents at inception, the relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item. Hedge effectiveness is ascertained periodically on a forward looking basis and is reviewed by the Investment Committee/ALCO at each reporting period. Hedge effectiveness is measured by the degree to which changes in the fair value or cashflows of the hedged item that are attributed to the hedged risk are offset by changes in the fair value or cashflows of the hedging instrument.

Measurement and Accounting

All derivative contracts are recognised on the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Hedge accounting is applied to all the derivative instruments as per IND AS 109. Gain/loss arising on account of fair value changes are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss to the extent of ineffective portion of hedge instruments and hedged items. The gains/losses of effective portion of hedge instrument are offset against gain/losses of hedged items in P&L or in Other Comprehensive Income depending on the type of hedge.

The Company has entered into fair value hedges like interest rate swaps on fixed rate rupee liabilities as a part of the Interest rate risk management whereby a portion of the fixed rate liabilities are converted to floating rate. The Company has a mark to market gain of H 10.83 crore on outstanding fair value hedges.

58. Disclosures in respect of Guidelines on Maintenance of Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) as referred in para 3.1.2 of the Master Direction - Non-Banking Financial Company - Housing Finance Company (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2021 and Annex II referred in para 15A of the Master Direction - Non-Banking Financial Company - Systemically Important Non-Deposit

taking Company and Deposit taking Company (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2016. (Contd.)

The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) is one of the key parameters closely monitored by RBI to enable a more resilient financial sector. The objective of the LCR is to promote an environment wherein balance sheet carry a strong liquidity for short term cash flow requirements. To ensure strong liquidity HFCs are required to maintain adequate pool of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) which can be easily converted into cash to meet their stressed liquidity needs for 30 calendar days. The LCR is expected to improve the ability of financial sector to absorb the shocks arising from financial and/or economic stress, thus reducing the risk of spill over from financial sector to real economy.

The Liquidity Risk Management of the Company is managed by the Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) under the governance of Board approved Liquidity Risk Framework and Asset Liability Management policy. The LCR levels for the balance sheet date is derived by arriving the stressed expected cash inflow and outflow for the next 30 calendar days. To compute stressed cash outflow, all expected and contracted cash outflows are considered by applying a stress of 15%. Similarly, inflows for the Company is arrived at by considering all expected and contracted inflows by applying a haircut of 25%.

Company for purpose of computing outflows, has considered: (1) all the contractual debt repayments, (2) expected outflows from credit facilities contracted with customers, and (3) other expected or contracted cash outflows. Inflows comprise of: (1) expected receipt from all performing loans and other receivables, (2) liquid investment which are unencumbered and have not been considered as part of HQLA and (3) CC/OD/ Committed credit line from Banks and parent company.
