In the Boardâs perception there are no foreseeable risks which could threaten the
existence of the Company.
India, the fifth largest economy in the world, sustained its growth journey with GDP about 7.5%
in the financial year 2023-2024. Consistent high GST collections and a double digit growth in
direct taxes is leading to Economic buoyancy. Overall, the country is expected to be one of the
fastest growing economies in the world, in the years ahead.
However, across the globe economic growth was affected due to geopolitical uncertainties as well
as high debt servicing cost in the less developed countries.
In India, inflation continues to be the key economic indicator for regulators.
The Companyâs current business activity consists of two segments viz Financial activities and
Provision of Services. The segment revenue and segment results appear in notes to the Financial
Statements.
The Companyâs activity pertaining to supply of services has seen some growth. Revenue from
investment activity is Nil.
The Company has in place internal financial control systems, commensurate with its size and the
nature of its operations to ensure proper recording of financial and operational transactions /
information and compliance of various internal controls and other regulatory and statutory
compliances. The internal auditors monitor and evaluate the efficacy and adequacy of internal
control systems in the Company. The observations arising out of the internal audits are
periodically reviewed by appropriate persons and summaries along with corrective actions plans,
if any, are submitted to the management and Audit Committee for review, comments and
directions. The concerned persons undertake corrective action in their respective areas and
thereby strengthen the controls.

promoter / promoter group who holds 10% or more shareholding in the Company.
Information pertaining to financial performance forms part of this Report.

As at March 31, 2024 the Companyâs current ratio was 2.27:1 in comparison to 2.98: 1 in the
previous year. The decrease in the current ratio during the current year over the previous year is
mainly due to increase in current liabilities and decrease in current assets.
The Companyâs net profit margin at the current year end was -104.65% in comparison to 19.57%
in the previous year. The decrease in the net profit margin is due to net loss incurred in the
current year in comparison to net profit earned in the previous year.
The Companyâs return on net worth at the current year end was 2.75% as compared to 3.84% in
the previous year. The decrease in return on net worth is mainly due to net loss incurred, during

Companies (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2016, as amended.
