The Company has formulated and implemented an effective risk management framework aligned with the risk
management policy which encompasses practices relating to identification, assessment, monitoring and
mitigation of various risks to key business objectives. The Risk management framework of the Company seeks
to minimize adverse impact of risks on our key business objectives and enables the Company to leverage market
opportunities effectively.
The various key risks to key business objectives and their mitigation are as follows:
CREDIT RISK: Credit risk arises from business operations that give rise to actual, contingent, or potential claims
against any counterparty, borrower, or obligor. The scope of the Credit Risk unit includes measuring, assessing,
and
monitoring credit risk within your Company through strengthening underwriting norms, and keeping a close
watch on asset quality trends and concentrations at individual exposures as well as at the portfolio level.
The Company has a robust post sanction monitoring process to identify credit portfolio trends and early warning
signals.
OPERATIONAL RISK: Operational Risk has been defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed
internal processes, people, systems, or from external events. Operational Risk includes legal risk but excludes
strategic and reputational risks.
The Company follows established, well-designed controls, which include maker-checker principles, effective
delegation of authority, and segregation of duties, Code of conduct, reconciliation, exception reporting and
periodic MIS.
LIQUIDITY RISK: It is the risk that the Company will be unable to meet its financial commitment to a
Bank/Financial Institution in any location, any currency at any point in time. Liquidity risk can manifest in three
different dimensions for the Company.
The Company has arranged for diversified funding sources and adopted a policy of availing funding in line with
the tenor and repayment pattern of its receivables and monitors future cash flows and liquidity. The Company
has developed internal control processes and contingency plans for managing liquidity risk.
INTEREST RATE RISK: It is the risk where changes in market interest rates might adversely affect the Company''s
financial condition. The short term/immediate impact of changes in interest rates are on the Company''s Net
Interest Income. On a longer term, changes in interest rates impact the cash flows on the assets, liabilities and
off-balance sheet items, giving rise to a risk to the net worth of the Company arising out of all re-pricing
mismatches and other interest rate sensitive positions.
The Company mitigates its interest rate risk by keeping a balanced mix of borrowings.
REPUTATION RISK: Reputation risk is the risk to earnings and capital arising from adverse perception of the image
of the Company from the part of various stakeholders and regulators. This risk may arise from the Company''s
reputation getting impacted due to factors such as unethical practices, regulatory actions, customer
dissatisfaction and complaints leading to negative publicity.
The Company manages this through a strict code of conduct policy for its employees, good corporate governance
policies and an effective customer grievance mechanism. It communicates with its stakeholders regularly through
appropriate engagement mechanisms to address stakeholder expectations and assuage their concerns, if any.
MARKET RISK: Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market variables. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from
changes in the interest rates, credit, and other market changes. The Company''s exposure to market risk is
primarily on account of interest rate risk and liquidity risk.
The Company regularly reviews its business model including interest rate risk and liquidity risk.
STRATEGIC RISK: Strategic or business risk is the risk associated with the formulation and execution of an
organisation''s strategy.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY RISK: The Company is growing with digitalization and aimed at leveraging digital
technology to provide a best-in-class experience for its customers while simultaneously enhancing productivity
and improve on IT risk management. The risk of cyber-attacks on the Company''s systems arises among others
from computer viruses, malicious or destructive code, phishing attacks, denial of service or information,
application vulnerability and other security breaches resulting in disruption of its services or theft or leak of
sensitive internal data or customer information.
The Company has established a robust information and cybersecurity framework for securing its IT infrastructure
and systems. Various committees'' reviews and monitors IT security infrastructure and vigilance over IT-related
vulnerabilities against emerging cybersecurity risks.
COMPLIANCE RISK: Compliance risk has been defined as "the risk of legal or regulatory sanctions, material
financial loss, or loss to reputation a Company may suffer as a result of its failure to comply with laws, regulations,
rules, related self-regulatory organization standards, and codes of conduct as applicable.

The Risk management framework of the Company seeks to minimize adverse impact of risks on our key business objectives and enables the Company to leverage market opportunities effectively.
The various key risks to key business objectives and their mitigation are as follows:
CREDIT RISK: Credit risk arises from business operations that give rise to actual, contingent, or potential claims against any counterparty, borrower, or obligor. The scope of the Credit Risk unit includes measuring, assessing, and monitoring credit risk within your Company through strengthening underwriting norms, and keeping a close watch on asset quality trends and concentrations at individual exposures as well as at the portfolio level.
The Company has a robust post sanction monitoring process to identify credit portfolio trends and early warning signals.
OPERATIONAL RISK: Operational Risk has been defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, systems, or from external events. Operational Risk includes legal risk but excludes strategic and reputational risks.
The Company follows established, well-designed controls, which include maker-checker principles, effective delegation of authority, and segregation of duties, Code of conduct, reconciliation, exception reporting and periodic MIS.
LIQUIDITY RISK: It is the risk that the Company will be unable to meet its financial commitment to a Bank/Financial Institution in any location, any currency at any point in time. Liquidity risk can manifest in three different dimensions for the Company.
The Company has arranged for diversified funding sources and adopted a policy of availing funding in line with the tenor and repayment pattern of its receivables and monitors future cash flows and liquidity. The Company has developed internal control processes and contingency plans for managing liquidity risk.
INTEREST RATE RISK: It is the risk where changes in market interest rates might adversely affect the Company''s financial condition. The short term/immediate impact of changes in interest rates are on the Company''s Net Interest Income. On a longer term, changes in interest rates impact the cash flows on the assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items, giving rise to a risk to the net worth of the Company arising out of all re-pricing mismatches and other interest rate sensitive positions.
The Company mitigates its interest rate risk by keeping a balanced mix of borrowings.
REPUTATION RISK: Reputation risk is the risk to earnings and capital arising from adverse perception of the image of the Company from the part of various stakeholders and regulators. This risk may arise from the Company''s reputation getting impacted due to factors such as unethical practices, regulatory actions, customer dissatisfaction and complaints leading to negative publicity.
The Company manages this through a strict code of conduct policy for its employees, good corporate governance policies and an effective customer grievance mechanism. It communicates with its stakeholders regularly through appropriate engagement mechanisms to address stakeholder expectations and assuage their concerns, if any.
MARKET RISK: Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market variables. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in the interest rates, credit, and other market changes. The Company''s exposure to market risk is primarily on account of interest rate risk and liquidity risk.
The Company regularly reviews its business model including interest rate risk and liquidity risk.
STRATEGIC RISK: Strategic or business risk is the risk associated with the formulation and execution of an organisation''s strategy.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY RISK: The Company is growing with digitalization and aimed at leveraging digital technology to provide a best-in-class experience for its customers while simultaneously enhancing productivity and improve on IT risk management. The risk of cyber-attacks on the Company''s systems arises among others from computer viruses, malicious or destructive code, phishing attacks, denial of service or information, application vulnerability and other security breaches resulting in disruption of its services or theft or leak of sensitive internal data or customer information.
The Company has established a robust information and cybersecurity framework for securing its IT infrastructure and systems. Various committees'' reviews and monitors IT security infrastructure and vigilance over IT-related vulnerabilities against emerging cybersecurity risks.
