Chairman’s Letter
Dear Investors,

Greetings!

As I write this letter, we are in the middle of a global pandemic and the most important thing is the health of our loved ones and
us. I truly do hope this letter finds you well.

Let me begin by thanking you for your continued faith and support in the three schemes of PPFAS Mutual Fund.

Our Equity Fund aims to provide positive inflation-adjusted returns and at the same time protect the capital from loss by ensuring
adequate margin of safety while constructing our portfolio. Our goal is to optimize returns for the long term, rather than maximize
returns for the short term. We have and will continue to maintain our investment discipline and philosophy and avoid chasing
market fancies. We will continue to stay away from businesses we do not understand and promoters we do not have confidence in.

The financial year (1st April 2019- 31st March 2020) was not a very good year for an equity investor as we saw a sharp correction
in February and March that seriously dented investment returns. We were able to protect the downside well and as I write this,
our flagship scheme PPLTEF has hit an all time high. Kudos to our entire Fund Management team for a remarkable performance!

I believe people have really started noticing our fund in the last two years. They are recognizing our differentiated product and fund
management style, as well as appreciating our transparency and honesty in communication. The fact that we ‘walk the talk’ and
are not swayed by the ‘noise’ of the market will help us continue to grow and be recognized as a leading Fund House in the coming
years. This is visible in the numbers. In the year gone by, we more than doubled our unit-holders as well as saw good growth in
our Assets Under Management (AUM). From 80,289 unit-holders at the start of the year, we ended with 1,84,789 investors who
now believe in us. The AUM rose Rs.1,961.51 crores to Rs. 2,871.87 crores in the financial year.

We have always maintained that we will be motivated to launch a new scheme only if we think we can add value, have some
differentiation and if we are excited to invest our own money in the scheme. In this regard we have started some initial work on a
Debt Fund. We will communicate details once we finalize a structure for the fund.

Currently, we have physical presence in 4 locations- Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi and Pune. The plan for the year was to have
presence in other key cities like Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Kolkata. Due to COVID and the current environment these
plans are on hold.

The lockdown has made it abundantly clear that digital is the way forward. Having a superior online experience was always a high
priority for us. This has only reinforced that we have to continuously keep improving and enhancing the digital experience.

I really do believe we are on the right path and the journey of the last 7 years has been quite satisfactory so far. We need to continue
to keep doing the things we are doing and not waver from our core values and philosophy. I hope you will continue on this journey
with us.

I once again wholeheartedly thank you for your support and investments in the schemes of PPFAS Mutual Fund.

Trustee Report
Dear Unitholder,

We the Trustee to PPFAS Mutual Fund, proudly present our 7th annual report along with the audited financial statements of the
Schemes of PPFAS Mutual Fund (the ‘Fund’), for the year ended March 31, 2020.

Performance of the Fund post seven years of operation:

To provide investors a holistic picture of the growth we are stating here data on number of fellow investors in the scheme, retail
participation, AUM participation through SIP route, participation from B 30 and T 30 cities and towns. Data related to aging analysis
will help to understand how long investors stayed invested in the scheme.

Particulars As on 31st March 2020 As on 31st March 2019 % Change (+/-)


Total Number of investors 1,84,789 80,289 130.15
Number of Retail investors 1,72,083 76,624 124.58
Geographical Coverage* 2,564 2,540 -
% of AUM from SIP investment 21.44% 16.71% 28.31
Number of SIP registered from B30 cities 67,150 15,667 328.61
Number of SIP registered from T30 cities 42,881 27,839 54.03

*Investors are spread across the cities and towns of the country and overseas. The Fund has received investments from 2,564 cities
and towns in India and from 194 Overseas destinations. Out of total investor base, retail investors count for 92.14%.

If you glance through table provided above, you can notice that change is positive for all the parameters. Participation from T30/
B30 towns and through SIP route has shown healthy growth. We feel that AUM contribution from SIP needs to grow more in order
to have a steady flow of income. Being one of the young fund house, there has been a remarkable growth during the fiscal year
2019-20. As we continue our journey, the fund aims to have a higher contribution to AUM through SIP route. It is also worthwhile to
take a note of the table provided below. You can notice that retail participation of the scheme is much higher. This indicates wider
acceptance of the scheme by retail investors.

invests in overnight Tri-Party REPO (TREPs) market, Sovereign Securities with short term maturity and occasionally in CP/CD. The idea
is to provide a place to park liquid funds by taking as little risk as possible.

The Investment Objective of the Scheme-

Parag Parikh Long Term Equity Fund

The investment objective of the Scheme is to seek to generate long-term capital growth from an actively managed portfolio primarily
of equity and Equity Related Securities.

Scheme shall be investing in Indian equities, foreign equities and related instruments and debt securities. Buying securities at a
discount to intrinsic value will help to create value for investors. Our investment philosophy is to invest in such value stocks.

Long Term refers to an investment horizon of 5 years and more. In the Scheme Information Document (SID) it is mentioned that the
Scheme is not suitable for investment horizon of less than 5 years. The Scheme will evaluate different companies based on their
long-term prospects (5 years and more) rather than just looking at next quarter or a few quarters’ earnings. Since the objective
of the Scheme is to hold the investments in the companies where the Scheme has invested for the long term, it is essential
that the investors in the Scheme have a similar outlook. It is expected that the core equity portfolio of the Scheme will have low
churn (portfolio turnover). However, the actual churn (portfolio turnover) could be higher depending on circumstances prevailing at
respective times.

Parag Parikh Liquid Fund

The primary investment objective of the Scheme is to deliver reasonable market related returns with lower risk and high liquidity
through judicious investments in money market and debt instruments. However, there is no assurance that the investment objective
of the scheme will be realized and the scheme does not assure or guarantee any returns.

Parag Parikh Tax Saver Fund

up to Rs 1.50 lakh under section 80C with a mandatory lock-in period of 3 years. The scheme enables investors to save on tax while

Commentary from the Trustee on Scheme Performance.

The financial year 2019-20 ended on a subdued note given the fears around COVID - 19 in India as well as globally. At PPFAS,
for equity investments, we continued to invest in companies which are robust in terms of not having too much leverage (financial
stocks like banks being the exception). Our investment is driven by valuations and the merits of individual companies and we do
not try to predict events. In the Parag Parikh Long-Term Equity Fund, we try to reduce the portfolio volatility and at the same time try
to widen the opportunity set by investing in Indian as well as global companies.

Proxy exercise

At PPFAS Mutual Fund, our research and investment team’s views were largely in concurrence with the company management on
most issues, however wherever there was disagreement, we have voted against the management. This has been in cases where
we disagreed on the remuneration or the appointment of a particular class of director or the manner of fundraising. The details of
voting rights exercised during FY 2019-2020, is displayed on the website- https://amc.ppfas.com/exercise-of-voting-rights/.

B. Future Outlook

There are positive as well negative factors in the environment currently. There is ample uncertainty due to the COVID-19 disease
and its impact on the economy and corporate performance. The performance in the April - June quarter of 2020 is going to be bad
for most companies in India and overseas. July - September of 2020 may also be a bit subdued. The extent of recovery post that
is uncertain. However factors helping the equities markets are low interest rates, high liquidity, fiscal measures by governments
the world over to help demand and direct help to some affected businesses. Our investment approach is bottom up and we invest
based on the merits of individual companies and we are keeping the uncertain environment in mind while investing.

Details of Investor Services:

When we launched our Fund, we knew that we were entering a competitive space. As building a performance track record would
take its own time, the only way we could differentiate ourselves from the others initially, was by offering customer service of the
highest degree. Now, seven years have elapsed and we have the requisite track record in place. Our schemes has performed well
on various metrics over this period. However, this does not mean that we can afford to drop the ball when it comes to serving our
investors.

It is our understanding and belief that as a mutual fund it is our duty to talk to our investors. We love to talk to you, understand your
needs and solve your queries. This practice has helped us to improve our services and investor experience.

However, given the steadily increasing number of Folios, it is imperative that we too up the ante, with regard to Customer Service.
This is being done in the following manner:

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors of


PPFAS Trustee Company Private Limited
PPFAS Mutual Fund - Parag Parikh Long Term Equity Fund
(Formerly known as Parag Parikh Long Term Value Fund)

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Scheme Parag Parikh Long Term Equity Fund (Formerly known as Parag
Parikh Long Term Value Fund) (the “Scheme”) which comprise the balance sheet as at March 31, 2020, the Revenue Account and
the cash flow statement, where applicable, for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements
of the Scheme give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
accounting policies and standards specified in the Ninth Schedule to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual funds )
Regulations, 1996, as amended (“the SEBI Regulation”):

(a) In the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Scheme as at March 31, 2020;
(b) In the case of the Revenue Account, of the net surplus for the year ended on that date; and
(c) In the case of Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the year ended that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) issued by Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for
the Audit of the Financial Statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the Scheme in accordance with the ‘Code of
Ethics‘ issued by the ICAI together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements, and we
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

The Management of PPFAS Asset Management Private Limited (‘the Management”) ( herein after referred to as ‘the AMC’ ), the
Schemes’ asset manager, is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows of the Scheme in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted
in India, including the accounting policies and standards specified in the Ninth Schedule to the SEBI Regulations. This responsibility
also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the SEBI Regulations for safeguarding of assets of
the Scheme and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting
policies; making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent, the design, implementation and maintenance of
adequate internal controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,

14 Scheme Annual Report : Financial Year 2019-2020


Scheme Annual Report (Un-Abridged): Financial Year 2019-2020

relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the Schemes’ ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the
management either intends to liquidate the Scheme or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are also responsible for overseeing the Scheme’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial
statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout
the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and
perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on
the Schemes’ ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Schemes to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the
financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with management of AMC, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit
findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide to the management of AMC with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

preceding conversion. While valuing such instruments, the fact whether the conversion is optional will also be factored in.

Suspended Security:
In case trading in an equity security is suspended up to 30 days, then the last traded price would be considered for valuation
of that security. If an equity security remains suspended for trading on the stock exchange for more than 30 days, then it
would be valued as non-traded security.

Security Lending & Borrowing (SLB):


Security Lending & Borrowing (SLB) will be valued on the basis of amortization.

*In case of non-availability of price from the Principal stock exchange for i.e. National Stock Exchange (NSE) on time, prices as
quoted on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) will be used for valuation purpose.

i) Procedure & Methodology for valuation of unlisted or thinly traded equity/equity related securities

Any security which does not have trading volume of 50,000 scrips and trading amount of Rs. 5,00,000/- during a period of
thirty days shall be categorized as thinly traded. Thinly traded / unlisted securities shall be valued in good faith on the basis of
fair valuation principles as follows:

Net Worth Value per share of the company will be derived based on the latest available audited balance sheet, not more than
9 months from close of financial year, net worth per share shall be calculated as [share capital plus free reserves (excluding
revaluation reserves) minus Miscellaneous expenditure not written off or deferred revenue expenditure, intangible assets and
accumulated losses] divided by Number of Paid up Shares.

Capital Earning Value per share of the company will be derived by capitalization of Earnings per Share based on the latest
available balance sheet, with 25% of Average capitalization rate (P/E ratio) for the industry.


Average of Net Worth Value per share and Capital Earning Value per share thus derived, shall be further discounted to derive
fair value of Unlisted securities and by thinly traded securities.

Shares on De-merger and Other Corporate Action Events
a. Both the shares are traded immediately on de-merger: In this case both the shares to be valued at respective traded
prices.
b. Shares of only one company continued to be traded on de-merger: In such a scenario, the shares of Non Traded/
Unlistedwould be fairly valued in good faith by AMC on case to case basis. Traded share to be valued at traded price.
c. Both the shares are not traded on de-merger: In such a scenario, the shares of both the companies would be fairly
valued in good faith by AMC on case to case basis.

Scheme Annual Report : Financial Year 2019-2020 23


Scheme Annual Report (Un-Abridged): Financial Year 2019-2020

In case of any other type of capital corporate action event, the same to be valued at fair price on case to case basis.

ii) Preference Shares
Preference share can be convertible or non- convertible. If the non-convertible preference shares are traded then the closing
price of the day will be considered for valuation. If the same is non-traded it will be valued at the present value of all the future
expected dividend payments and the maturity value, discounted at the bond yield of the issuer.

The value of convertible preference share can be expressed as follows:
Convertible preference shares shall be valued based on the underlying equity. This value shall be further discounted for
illiquidity to arrive at fair valuation. Traded convertible preference shares shall be valued based on the closing price.

iii) Warrants
Warrants will be valued at the value of the share which would be obtained on exercise of the warrant as reduced by the
amount which would be payable on exercise of the warrant. The value arrived will be reduced by appropriate discount. Traded
Warrants shall be valued based on the closing price.

iv) Right entitlements
Right entitlements will be valued as difference between the value of closing price of the underlying equity share and the rights
offer price. Right entitlements if traded will be valued at the closing price on Principal stock exchange (NSE). If the entitlements
are not traded on NSE but are traded on any other stock exchange the closing price of the exchange where it traded will be
considered for valuation.

Non traded rights entitlement will be valued as difference between the value of the underlying equity share (determined as per
valuation policy) and the rights offer price.

III. Valuation of Money market and Debt securities which are rated below investment grade:

26 Scheme Annual Report : Financial Year 2019-2020


Scheme Annual Report (Un-Abridged): Financial Year 2019-2020


A money market or debt security shall be classified as “below investment grade” if the long term rating of the security assigned
by a SEBI registered Credit Rating Agency (CRA) is below BBB- or if the short term rating of the security is below A3.

A money market or debt security shall be classified as “Default” if the interest and / or principal amount has not been received,
on the day such amount was due or when such security has been downgraded to “Default” grade by a CRA. In this respect,
PPFAS Mutual Fund shall promptly inform the Valuation Agencies and the CRAs, any instance of non-receipt of payment of
interest and / or principal amount (part or full) in any security.

In case of instruments with dual rating the same would be considered below investment grade if any of the rating agencies
rating that instrument downgrades it to sub investment grade

All money market and debt securities which are rated below investment grade shall be valued at the price provided by AMFI
appointed valuation agencies (CRISIL/ICRA). Till such time the valuation agencies compute the valuation of money market and
debt securities classified as below investment grade, such securities shall be valued on the basis of indicative haircut provided
by these agencies. These indicative haircuts shall be applied on the date of credit event i.e. migration of the security to sub-
investment grade and shall continue till the valuation agencies compute the valuation price of such securities. Further these
haircuts shall be updated and refined, as and when there is availability of material information which impact the haircuts.

Consideration of traded price for valuation:
In case of trades during the interim period between date of credit event and receipt of valuation price from valuation agencies,
AMC shall consider such traded price for valuation if it is lower than the price post standard haircut. The said traded price shall
be considered for valuation till the valuation price is determined by the valuation agencies.

In case of trades after the valuation price is computed by the valuation agencies as referred above and where the trade price
is lower than such computed price, such traded price shall be considered for the purpose of valuation and the valuation price
may be revised accordingly.

The trades referred above shall be of a minimum size as determined by valuation agencies.

AMC may deviate from the indicative haircuts and/or the valuation price for money market and debt securities rated below
investment grade provided by valuation agencies subject to the following:

• The detailed rationale for deviation from the price post haircut or price provided by the valuation agencies shall be recorded
by the AMC.
• The rationale for deviation along with details such as information about the security (ISIN, issuer name, rating etc.), price
at which security was valued vis-a vis the price provided by the valuation agencies (as applicable) and the impact of such
deviation on scheme NAV (in amount and percentage terms) shall be reported to the Board of AMC and Trustees.
• The rationale for deviation along with details as mentioned above shall also be disclosed to the investors .

In abnormal situations, market disruptions etc. where current market information may not be obtainable and in case CRISIL
and ICRA are unable to provide a security level price for any security on particular day(s), the fund manager(s) will, with the prior
approval of Valuation Committee, value the securities appropriately to ensure true and fair valuation.

In case price is not provided by designated agencies, on the date of allotment of security, then:

a. In case of discounted securities, valuation shall be done at price derived by adding one-day amortisation to the allotment
price;
b. In case of coupon bearing securities, valuation shall be done at allotment price

Beyond 3 business days from the date of allotment of the security, the valuation price would be determined by the Valuation
Committee using principle of fair valuation. Necessary documentation shall be maintained in this regard, including method
adopted along with the detailed computation of the fair price.

Brokerage shall be added to the Deal price to compute amortisation.



Treatment of accrued interest, future interest accrual and future recovery:
Scheme Annual Report : Financial Year 2019-2020 27
Scheme Annual Report (Un-Abridged): Financial Year 2019-2020

(i) The treatment of accrued interest and future accrual of interest, in case of money market and debt securities classified as
below investment grade or default, is detailed below:
a. The indicative haircut that has been applied to the principal should be applied to any accrued interest.
b. In case of securities classified as below investment grade but not default, interest accrual may continue with the same
haircut applied to the principal. In case of securities classified as default, no further interest accrual shall be made.

Treatment of any future recovery in terms of principal or interest:
a. Any recovery shall first be adjusted against the outstanding interest recognized in the NAV and any balance shall be
adjusted against the value of principal recognized in the NAV.
b. Any recovery in excess of the carried value (i.e. the value recognized in NAV) should then be applied first towards amount
of interest written off and then towards amount of principal written off.

III. Other Securities:


Listed Mutual Funds Units:
Valuation will be at the closing price at the principal stock exchange (NSE).

If units are not traded on principal stock exchange on a particular valuation day, the closing price on any other stock exchange
where units are traded will be used.
If units are not traded on any stock exchange on a particular valuation day, then NAV per unit will be used for valuation.

Unlisted Mutual Fund Units:
Valuation will be based on Net Asset Value (NAV) of Mutual Fund units.

Listed Units of InvITs / REITs :
The units of InvIT and REIT will be valued at the closing price at the principal stock exchange. If units are not traded on principal
stock exchange on a particular valuation day, the closing price on any other stock exchange where units are traded will be
used.

If units are not traded on any stock exchange on a particular valuation day, then closing price at which it traded on the principal
stock exchange or any other stock exchange, as the case may be, on the earliest previous day will be used provided such date
is not more than 30 days prior to valuation date.

Unlisted / Non- Traded Units of InvITs /REITs:


Where units of InvIT and REIT are not traded on any stock exchange for a continuous period of 30 days then the valuation for
such units of InvIT and REIT will be determined based on the procedure determined by Valuation Committee.

Scheme Annual Report (Un-Abridged): Financial Year 2019-2020

B. Valuation of securities with Put/Call Options

The option embedded securities would be valued as follows:

i) Securities with Call Option:


The securities with call option shall be valued at the lower of the value as obtained by valuing the security to final maturity
and valuing the security to call option. In case there are multiple call options, the lowest value obtained by valuing to the
various call dates and valuing to the maturity date is to be taken as the value of the instrument.

ii) Securities with Put Option:


The securities with put option shall be valued at the higher of the value as obtained by valuing the security to final maturity
and valuing the security to put option. In case there are multiple put options, the highest value obtained by valuing to the
various put dates and valuing to the maturity date is to be taken as the value of the instruments.

iii) Securities with both Put and Call Option:


Only securities with put / call options on the same day and having the same put and call option price, shall be deemed to
mature on such put / call date and shall be valued accordingly. In all other cases, the cash flow of each put / call option
shall be evaluated and the security shall be valued on the following basis:

a) Identify a ‘Put Trigger Date’, a date on which ‘price to put option’ is the highest when compared with price to other put
options and maturity price.
b) Identify a ‘Call Trigger Date’, a date on which ‘price to call option’ is the lowest when compared with price to other call
options and maturity price.
c) In case no Put Trigger Date or Call Trigger Date (‘Trigger Date”) is available, then the valuation would be done to
maturity price. In case one Trigger Date is available, then valuation would be done as to the said Trigger Date. In case
both Trigger Dates are available, then valuation would be done to the earliest date.

If a put option is not exercised by a Mutual Fund when exercising such put option would have been in favour of the
scheme, in such cases the justification for not exercising the put option shall be provided to the Board of AMC and
Trustees.

iv) Any put option inserted subsequent to the issuance of the security shall not be considered for the purpose of valuation and
original terms of the issue will be considered for valuation.

C. Treatment of Upfront Fees on Trades:
i) Upfront fees on all trades (including primary market trades), by whatever name and manner called, would be
considered by the valuation agencies for the purpose of valuation of security.
ii) Details of such upfront fees should be shared by the AMC on the trade date to the valuation agencies as part of the
trade reporting to enable them to arrive at the fair valuation for that date.
iii) For the purpose of accounting, such upfront fees should be reduced from the cost of the investment in the scheme that
made the investment.
iv) In case upfront fees are received across multiple schemes, then such upfront fees should be shared on a pro-rata
basis across such schemes.

D. Segregate Portfolio valuation:


Notwithstanding the decision to segregate the debt and money market instrument in accordance with the SEBI Circular
dated December 28, 2018, the valuation should consider the credit event and value the portfolio based on the principles of
fair valuation. (i.e. realizable value of the assets) in terms of relevant provisions of SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulation, 1996 and
Circular(s) issued thereunder. Irrespective of the above policy, the valuation committee might adopt valuation principles to
align with fair valuation norms.

E. The Fund shall not use their own trades for valuation of debt and money market securities.

(a) Any changes to the terms of investment, which may have an impact on valuation, shall be reported to the valuation
agencies immediately.
(b) Any extension in the maturity of a money market or debt security shall result in the security being treated as “Default”,
for the purpose of valuation.
(c) If the maturity date of a money market or debt security is shortened and then subsequently extended, the security shall
be treated as “Default” for the purpose of valuation.
(d) Any put option inserted subsequent to the issuance of the security shall not be considered for the purpose of valuation
and original terms of the issue will be considered for valuation.

G. Waterfall mechanism for valuation of money market and debt securities to the used by the valuation agencies (Effective

For arriving at security level pricing, a waterfall mechanism to be used by valuation agencies as provided by AMFI in
consultation with SEBI.

H. (i) In case the valuation committee is of the opinion that the price feeds provided by AMFI appointed agencies are not
provided or prices are not reflective of fair value/ realizable value of the security, the same shall be valued on the basis
of guidelines provided by the valuation committee. In approving such valuations, the valuation committee shall follow the
principles of fair valuation and provide suitable justification for the same.
(ii) The rationale for deviation along-with details such as information about the security (ISIN, issuer name, rating etc.), price
at which the security was valued vis-a-vis the price as per the valuation agencies and the impact of such deviation on
scheme NAV (in amount and percentage terms) shall be reported to the Board of AMC and Trustees. The rationale shall
also be disclosed immediately and prominently, under a separate head on the website of AMC.

IV. Valuation of Foreign Securities:
The security issued outside India and listed on the stock exchanges outside India shall be valued as follows:

The security issued outside India and listed on the stock exchanges outside India shall be valued at the closing price on
the stock exchange at which it is listed. However, in case a security is listed on more than one stock exchange, the AMC
reserves the right to determine the stock exchange, the price of which would be used for the purpose of valuation of that
security. Any subsequent change in the reference stock exchange used for valuation will be backed by reasons for such
change being recorded in writing by the AMC. Further in case of extreme volatility in the overseas markets, the securities
listed in those markets may be valued on a fair value basis.

For valuation of securities registered in USA, NYSE has been selected as principal stock exchange. If any security is not
listed on NYSE, security prices as quoted on NASDAQ will be considered. For securities registered in UK, LSE (London Stock
Exchange) has been selected as principal stock exchange. Securities prices as quoted on LSE will be used for valuation
purposes.

If a significant event has occurred after security prices were established for the computation of NAV of the Scheme, the
AMC reserves the right to value the said securities on fair value basis. When on a particular valuation day, a security has
not been traded on the selected stock exchange; the security will be valued in accordance with SEBI guidelines applicable
for security listed in India.

“If the security is listed in a time zone ahead of India, then the same day’s closing price would be used for valuation. If the
security is listed in a time zone behind India, then the previous day’s price would be used for valuation.”

On the Valuation Day, all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency will be valued in Indian Rupees at the
exchange rate available on Reuters / RBI (Financial Benchmarks India Ltd- FBIL) / Bloomberg. The Trustees reserve the right
to change the source for determining the exchange rate.

Valuation of IDR/ADR/ GDR:
IDR/ADR/GDRs are exchange traded securities and hence closing price of the IDR/ADR/ GDR on the exchange where it is
listed will be taken for valuation purpose.

30 Scheme Annual Report : Financial Year 2019-2020


Scheme Annual Report (Un-Abridged): Financial Year 2019-2020

If any American Depository Receipt (ADR)/ Global Depository Receipt (GDR) is traded in OTC (Over the Counter) market, in
such cases closing price in OTC market will be considered for valuation of ADR/GDR.
If the security is listed/ traded in a time zone ahead of India, then the same day’s closing price would be used for valuation.
If the security is listed/traded in a time zone behind India, then the previous day’s price would be used for valuation.

c) Investment Transactions
I. Transactions for purchase or sale of investments are recognised on the date of the trade date. Transactions for purchase
or sale of investments for Overseas Securities are recognised on the next working day of the trade date due to timing
difference.
II. Bonus shares, rights and dividend entitlements to which the scheme becomes entitled are recognised only when the
original shares on which the bonus entitlement accrues are traded on the stock exchange on an ex-bonus, ex - right and
ex dividend date basis respectively.
III. Investment transactions in equity and equity related securities, derivatives and debt securities are accounted on trade date
(Transactions for purchase or sale of investments for Overseas Securities are recognised on the next working day of the
trade date due to timing difference). The cost of acquisition includes the cost of purchase, stamp duty, securities transaction
tax and charges customarily included in the broker’s bought note.

d) Recognition of Revenue and Treatment of Expenses
I. For quoted investments, Dividend income earned by a scheme are recognised, on the date the share is quoted on an ex-
dividend basis. Dividend on unquoted investments is recognised on date of declaration.
II. In respect of all interest-bearing investments, income is accrued on a day to day basis as it is earned ,except for Interest on
CCIL Margin Money placed for TREPS trades is accounted on receipt basis.
III. Income on Treasury Bills and Government Securities are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period up to redemption.
IV. The net unrealised gain / loss in the value of investments is determined separately for each class of investment.
V. In determining the holding cost of investments and the gains or loss on sale of investments, the “average cost” method is
followed by the scheme.
VI. All expenses are accounted on accrual basis.

e) The fund does not isolate that portion of the change in investment valuation resulting from changes in the foreign exchange
rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the local market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included in
unrealised appreciation or depreciation on investments.

f) Unit Premium Reserve (“UPR”) and Income Equalisation
In case of an open ended scheme on issue / repurchase of units, the portion of the premium which is attributable to realised
gains is credited / debited to the Revenue account for the period as Income Equalisation at the year end. It is reflected in the
revenue account after the net realised gain/ (loss) of the scheme is determined. The balance portion of the premium that is not
attributable to realised gains is credited/ debited to the UPR.

If units are sold at a price lower than the face value the difference is debited to the Revenue Account as Income Equalisation
and vice versa.

g) Determination of net asset values
I. The net asset value of the units of the scheme is determined separately for units issued under the different plans / options.
II. For calculating the net asset values under different plans / options, the amount of sale/repurchase of units under each plan
/ option are separately accounted for. Further, net income arising from such deployment are allocated daily to the plans /
options in proportion to their Net Asset Values. Parag Parikh Long Term Equity Fund offers Direct Plan and Regular Plan. For
both these plans scheme offers only Growth Option.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors of


PPFAS Trustee Company Private Limited
PPFAS Mutual Fund - Parag Parikh Tax Saver Fund

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of - Parag Parikh Tax Saver Fund (the “Scheme”) which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2020, the Revenue Account and the Cash Flow statement, for the period July 24, 2019 to March
31, 2020 (“the period”), and a notes to the financial statement, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements
of the Schemes give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
accounting policies and standards specified in the Ninth Schedule to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual funds )
Regulations, 1996 as amended (“the SEBI Regulation”):

(a) In the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Scheme as at March 31, 2020;
(b) In the case of the Revenue Account, of the net deficit for the period July 24, 2019 to March 31, 2020; and
(c) In the case of Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the period July 24, 2019 to March 31, 2020.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) issued by Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the
Audit of the Financial Statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the Scheme in accordance with the ‘Code of Ethics‘
issued by the ICAI together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the financial statement.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

The Management of PPFAS Asset Management Private Limited (‘the Management”) ( herein after referred to as ‘the AMC’ ), the
Schemes asset manager, is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial
position, financial performance and cash flows of the Scheme in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India, including the accounting policies and standards specified in the Ninth Schedule to the SEBI Regulations. This responsibility
also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the SEBI Regulations, for safeguarding of assets of
the Scheme and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting
policies; making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent, the design, implementation and maintenance of
adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting
records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Scheme Annual Report : Financial Year 2019-2020 45


Scheme Annual Report (Un-Abridged): Financial Year 2019-2020

In preparing the financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the Schemes ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the
management either intends to liquidate the Scheme or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance is also responsible for overseeing the Schemes’ financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial
statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout
the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and
perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on effectiveness of internal controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Schemes’ ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Scheme to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the
financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with management of AMC , among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant
audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide to the management of AMC with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

accordance with the accounting policies, contained in the schedule IX and Annual Report format as provided in Schedule
XI of the Securities & Exchange Board of India, Mutual Fund Regulations, 1996 (`SEBI MF Regulations) and as amended from
time to time.

b) Portfolio Valuation
SEBI has outlined investment valuation norms for the mutual funds to compute and carry out valuation of its investments
in its portfolio under Regulation 47 and Eighth Schedule of SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 as amended from time to
time. SEBI has mandated the mutual funds to value its investments on Principal of ‘Fair Valuation’ to ensure fair treatment
to all investors including existing investors as well as investors seeking to purchase or redeem units of mutual funds in all
Schemes at all points of time. The Board of Directors of AMC and of the Trustee Company has approved the Investment
Valuation Policy and the framework for valuation of investments of Scheme(s) of PPFAS Mutual Fund in accordance with SEBI
Notification dated February 21, 2012 based on principles of fair valuation which is reflective of realizable value of securities/
assets.

I. Equity and Equity Related Instruments:


Listed Shares/Preference Shares/ Warrants/Rights:

Valuation will be at the closing price at the Principal stock exchange* (NSE).
If security is not traded on principal stock exchange on a particular valuation day, the closing price at which it is traded on
any other stock exchange will be used.

If security is not traded on any stock exchange on a particular valuation day, then price at which it is traded on the principal
stock exchange or any other stock exchange, as the case may be, on the earliest previous day will be used provided such
date is not more than 30 days prior to valuation date.

Thinly traded equity shares:


Thinly traded securities will be valued at fair value as per procedures determined by the Valuation Committee.

Scheme Annual Report : Financial Year 2019-2020 53


Scheme Annual Report (Un-Abridged): Financial Year 2019-2020

Unlisted Shares/ Preference Shares/ Warrants/Rights:


Unlisted securities will be valued at fair value as per procedures determined by the Valuation Committee.

Options:
In case of Options, premium received/ paid is marked to market based on settlement price on the relevant exchange.

Futures:
Outstanding contracts in Futures is valued based on the settlement price on the relevant exchange.

Application Money for Primary Market Issue:


Application money should be valued at cost up to 30 days from the closure of the issue or traded price whichever is earlier.
If the security is not allotted / traded within 30 days from the closure of the issue, application money is to be valued as per
the directives of valuation committee, which shall be ratified in the next board meeting. Rationale of valuing such application
money should also be recorded.

Equity shares invested as an Anchor Investor:


At the discretion of the AMC and with the approval of the valuation committee, post listing, equity shares invested on Anchor
basis may be valued at a price lower than the listed market price available on NSE/BSE by applying a suitable illiquidity
discount (If such shares are in lock-in period).

Convertible Debentures:
The non-convertible and convertible components of convertible debentures and bonds shall be valued separately. The
nonconvertible component would be valued on the same basis as would be applicable to a debt instrument. The convertible
component shall be valued on the same basis as would be applicable to an equity instrument. If, after conversion the resultant
equity instrument would be traded pari passu with an existing instrument, which is traded, the value of later instrument can be
adopted after an appropriate discount for the non-tradability of the instrument during the period preceding conversion. While
valuing such instruments, the fact whether the conversion is optional will also be factored in.

Suspended Security:
In case trading in an equity security is suspended up to 30 days, then the last traded price would be considered for valuation
of that security. If an equity security remains suspended for trading on the stock exchange for more than 30 days, then it would
be valued as non-traded security.

Security Lending & Borrowing (SLB):


Security Lending & Borrowing (SLB) will be valued on the basis of amortization.

*In case of non-availability of price from the Principal stock exchange for i.e. National Stock Exchange (NSE) on time, prices as
quoted on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) will be used for valuation purpose.

i) Procedure & Methodology for valuation of unlisted or thinly traded equity/equity related securities

Any security which does not have trading volume of 50,000 scrips and trading amount of Rs. 5,00,000/- during a period of
thirty days shall be categorized as thinly traded. Thinly traded / unlisted securities shall be valued in good faith on the basis
of fair valuation principles as follows:

Net Worth Value per share of the company will be derived based on the latest available audited balance sheet, not more
than 9 months from close of financial year, net worth per share shall be calculated as [share capital plus free reserves
(excluding revaluation reserves) minus Miscellaneous expenditure not written off or deferred revenue expenditure,
intangible assets and accumulated losses] divided by Number of Paid up Shares.

Capital Earning Value per share of the company will be derived by capitalization of Earnings per Share based on the latest
available balance sheet, with 25% of Average capitalization rate (P/E ratio) for the industry.

Average of Net Worth Value per share and Capital Earning Value per share thus derived, shall be further discounted to
derive fair value of Unlisted securities and by thinly traded securities.

Scheme Annual Report (Un-Abridged): Financial Year 2019-2020

Shares on De-merger and Other Corporate Action Events –


a. Both the shares are traded immediately on de-merger: In this case both the shares to be valued at respective traded
prices.
b. Shares of only one company continued to be traded on de-merger: In such a scenario, the shares of Non Traded/
Unlisted would be fairly valued in good faith by AMC on case to case basis. Traded share to be valued at traded price
c. Both the shares are not traded on de-merger: In such a scenario, the shares of both the companies would be fairly
valued in good faith by AMC on case to case basis.

ii) Preference Shares
Preference share can be convertible or non- convertible. If the non-convertible preference shares are traded then the
closing price of the day will be considered for valuation. If the same is non-traded it will be valued at the present value of
all the future expected dividend payments and the maturity value, discounted at the bond yield of the issuer.

The value of convertible preference share can be expressed as follows:
Convertible preference shares shall be valued based on the underlying equity. This value shall be further discounted for
illiquidity to arrive at fair valuation. Traded convertible preference shares shall be valued based on the closing price.

iii) Warrants
Warrants will be valued at the value of the share which would be obtained on exercise of the warrant as reduced by the
amount which would be payable on exercise of the warrant. The value arrived will be reduced by appropriate discount.
Traded Warrants shall be valued based on the closing price.

iv) Right entitlements
Right entitlements will be valued as difference between the value of closing price of the underlying equity share and the
rights offer price. Right entitlements if traded will be valued at the closing price on Principal stock exchange (NSE). If the
entitlements are not traded on NSE but are traded on any other stock exchange the closing price of the exchange where it
traded will be considered for valuation.

Non traded rights entitlement will be valued as difference between the value of the underlying equity share (determined as per
valuation policy) and the rights offer price.

Government securities (Including Central government securities, State Development Loans, Treasury Bills and Cash
Management Bills) with residual maturity more than 30 days:

Valuation will be done at the average prices provided by AMFI approved agencies (CRISIL & ICRA)

In case any new securities are purchased and the price of such security is not provided by AMFI approved agencies, then
such security will be valued at weighted average price / yield of the trades of that security on that day.

Debt Securities/ Instruments with Residual maturity more than 30 days (Commercial Paper/ Certificate of Deposit /Bonds/ Zero
Coupon Bonds / Bills Rediscounting /Floating rate securities /PTC)

Valuation will be done at the average prices provided by AMFI approved agencies (CRISIL & ICRA)

In case any new securities are purchased and the price of such security is not provided by AMFI approved agencies, then such
security will be valued at weighted average price / yield of the trades of that security on that day.

Government securities (Including Central government securities, State Development Loans, Treasury Bills and Cash
Management Bills) with residual maturity less than or equal to 30 days.

Instruments will be valued by amortization on a straight-line basis to maturity from cost or last valuation price whichever is
more recent. The amortized price shall be compared with the reference price which shall be the average of the security level
price of such security as provided by the agencies appointed by AMFI for said purpose, currently CRISIL and ICRA (hereinafter
referred to as “valuation agencies”). The amortized price shall be used for valuation only if it is within a threshold of ±0.025%
of the reference price. In case of deviation beyond this threshold, the price shall be adjusted to bring it within the threshold of
±0.025% of the reference price as suggested below.

At the time of first purchase the spread between the purchase yield and the benchmark yield will be fixed. This spread will
remain fixed through the life of the instrument & will be changed only if there is a trade in the security. The spread shall be
readjusted on the basis of the last trade in the security. If at the time of initial purchase, the residual maturity is more than 60
days and the security comes into the less than 61 days bucket then the price as on 61st day would be used for amortisation
from 60th day and the amortised yield as on 60th day would be used for comparing with reference yields as of 60th day
and the spread would be fixed based on the difference between amortised yield and reference yield.

Debt Securities/ Instruments with Residual maturity less than or equal to 60 days (Commercial Paper/Certificate of Deposit /
Bonds/ Zero Coupon Bonds /Bills Rediscounting /Floating rate securities /PTC):

Valuation will be done by amortisation on a straight line basis to maturity from cost or the last valuation price, whichever is
more recent.

58 Scheme Annual Report : Financial Year 2019-2020


Scheme Annual Report (Un-Abridged): Financial Year 2019-2020

The resultant price will be compared with the price using the benchmark yields +/- a spread. In case the amortised price is
within +/-0.10% of the price derived using the benchmark yield, the same shall be used; else the price of the security shall be
adjusted to bring it within this range.

At the time of first purchase the spread between the purchase yield and the benchmark yield should be fixed. This spread
should remain fixed through the life of the instrument & should be changed only if there is justification for the change, i.e. in
case of subsequent trade by the fund house in the same security, such spread shall be adopted as long as the trade is of
market lot (face value of Rs. 5 crores or more). Such security should be amortized to maturity using the weighted average
traded price, provided, such amortized price is in line with +/- 0.10% of the reference price as defined above. If at the time of
initial purchase, the residual maturity is more than 60 days and the security comes into the less than 61 days bucket then the
price as on 61st day would be used for amortisation from 60th day and the amortised yield as on 60th day would be used for
comparing with reference yield as of 60th day and the spread would be fixed based on the difference between amortised
yield and reference yield.

However, the spread can be changed in case of a change in credit rating or credit profile of the issuer.

Interest Rate Swaps (IRS)/ Forward Rate Agreements (FRA):

All IRS/ FRA’s will be valued at net present value after discounting the future cash flows.

Future cash flows for IRS/ FRA contract will be computed daily as per terms of contract and discounted by suitable OIS (Overnight
Interest SWAP) rates available on Reuters/ Bloomberg/ any other provider as approved by Valuation Committee.

Overnight Money (CBLO/Reverse Repo/ CROMS):

Overnight money deployed will be valued at cost plus the accrual/ amortisation.

III. Valuation of Money market and Debt securities which are rated below investment grade:

A money market or debt security shall be classified as “below investment grade” if the long term rating of the security assigned
by a SEBI registered Credit Rating Agency (CRA) is below BBB- or if the short term rating of the security is below A3.

A money market or debt security shall be classified as “Default” if the interest and / or principal amount has not been received,
on the day such amount was due or when such security has been downgraded to “Default” grade by a CRA. In this respect,
PPFAS Mutual Fund shall promptly inform the Valuation Agencies and the CRAs, any instance of non-receipt of payment of
interest and / or principal amount (part or full) in any security.

In case of instruments with dual rating the same would be considered below investment grade if any of the rating agencies
rating that instrument downgrades it to sub investment grade.

All money market and debt securities which are rated below investment grade shall be valued at the price provided by AMFI
appointed valuation agencies (CRISIL/ICRA). Till such time the valuation agencies compute the valuation of money market and
debt securities classified as below investment grade, such securities shall be valued on the basis of indicative haircut provided
by these agencies. These indicative haircuts shall be applied on the date of credit event i.e. migration of the security to sub-
investment grade and shall continue till the valuation agencies compute the valuation price of such securities. Further these
haircuts shall be updated and refined, as and when there is availability of material information which impact the haircuts.

be considered for valuation till the valuation price is determined by the valuation agencies.

In case of trades after the valuation price is computed by the valuation agencies as referred above and where the trade price
is lower than such computed price, such traded price shall be considered for the purpose of valuation and the valuation price
may be revised accordingly.

The trades referred above shall be of a minimum size as determined by valuation agencies.

by the AMC.
• The rationale for deviation along with details such as information about the security (ISIN, issuer name, rating etc.), price

approval of Valuation Committee, value the securities appropriately to ensure true and fair valuation.

In case price is not provided by designated agencies, on the date of allotment of security, then:

a. In case of discounted securities, valuation shall be done at price derived by adding one-day amortisation to the allotment
price;
b. In case of coupon bearing securities, valuation shall be done at allotment price

Beyond 3 business days from the date of allotment of the security, the valuation price would be determined by the Valuation
Committee using principle of fair valuation. Necessary documentation shall be maintained in this regard, including method
adopted along with the detailed computation of the fair price.

Brokerage shall be added to the Deal price to compute amortisation.

below investment grade or default, is detailed below:

a. The indicative haircut that has been applied to the principal should be applied to any accrued interest.
b. In case of securities classified as below investment grade but not default, interest accrual may continue with the same
haircut applied to the principal. In case of securities classified as default, no further interest accrual shall be made.

Treatment of any future recovery in terms of principal or interest:


a. Any recovery shall first be adjusted against the outstanding interest recognized in the NAV and any balance shall be
adjusted against the value of principal recognized in the NAV.
b. Any recovery in excess of the carried value (i.e. the value recognized in NAV) should then be applied first towards amount of
interest written off and then towards amount of principal written off.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors of


PPFAS Trustee Company Private Limited
PPFAS Mutual Fund - Parag Parikh Liquid Fund

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Scheme of PPFAS Mutual Fund - Parag Parikh Liquid Fund (the “Scheme”)
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2020, the Revenue Account and the cash flow statement, for the year then ended
, and a notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements
of the Scheme give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
accounting policies and standards specified in the Ninth Schedule to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual funds)
Regulations, 1996 as amended (“the SEBI Regulation”):

(a) In the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Schemes as at March 31, 2020;
(b) In the case of the Revenue Account, of the net surplus for the year ended on that date; and
(c) in the case of Cash flow statement, of the cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) issued by Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for
the Audit of the Financial Statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the Schemes in accordance with the ‘Code of
Ethics‘ issued by the ICAI together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements, and we
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

The Management of PPFAS Asset Management Private Limited (‘the Management”) ( herein after referred to as ‘the AMC’ ), the
Schemes’ asset manager, is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the
financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Scheme in accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the accounting policies and standards specified in the Ninth Schedule to the SEBI Regulations. This
responsibility includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the SEBI Regulations, for safeguarding of
assets of the Scheme and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate
accounting policies; making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent, the design, implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the
accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statement that give a true and fair view and are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Scheme Annual Report : Financial Year 2019-2020 71


Scheme Annual Report (Un-Abridged): Financial Year 2019-2020

In preparing the financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the Schemes’ ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the
management either intends to liquidate the Scheme or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance is also responsible for overseeing the Schemes’ financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial
statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout
the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and
perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Schemes’ ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Schemes to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the
financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with management of AMC, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit
findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide to the management of AMC with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

At the discretion of the AMC and with the approval of the valuation committee, post listing, equity shares invested on Anchor
basis may be valued at a price lower than the listed market price available on NSE/BSE by applying a suitable illiquidity
discount (If such shares are in lock-in period).

Convertible Debentures:
The non-convertible and convertible components of convertible debentures and bonds shall be valued separately. The
nonconvertible component would be valued on the same basis as would be applicable to a debt instrument. The convertible
component shall be valued on the same basis as would be applicable to an equity instrument. If, after conversion the resultant
equity instrument would be traded pari passu with an existing instrument, which is traded, the value of later instrument can be
adopted after an appropriate discount for the non-tradability of the instrument during the period preceding conversion While
valuing such instruments, the fact whether the conversion is optional will also be factored in.

Suspended Security:
In case trading in an equity security is suspended up to 30 days, then the last traded price would be considered for valuation
of that security. If an equity security remains suspended for trading on the stock exchange for more than 30 days, then it would
be valued as non-traded security.

i) Procedure & Methodology for valuation of unlisted or thinly traded equity/equity related securities

Any security which does not have trading volume of 50,000 scrips and trading amount of Rs. 5,00,000/- during a period of
thirty days shall be categorized as thinly traded. Thinly traded / unlisted securities shall be valued in good faith on the basis of
fair valuation principles as follows:

Net Worth Value per share of the company will be derived based on the latest available audited balance sheet, not more than
9 months from close of financial year, net worth per share shall be calculated as [share capital plus free reserves (excluding
revaluation reserves) minus Miscellaneous expenditure not written off or deferred revenue expenditure, intangible assets and
accumulated losses] divided by Number of Paid up Shares.

Capital Earning Value per share of the company will be derived by capitalization of Earnings per Share based on the latest
available balance sheet, with 25% of Average capitalization rate (P/E ratio) for the industry.

Average of Net Worth Value per share and Capital Earning Value per share thus derived, shall be further discounted to derive
fair value of Unlisted securities and by thinly traded securities

Shares on De-merger and Other Corporate Action Events
a. Both the shares are traded immediately on de-merger: In this case both the shares to be valued at respective traded
prices.

80 Scheme Annual Report : Financial Year 2019-2020


Scheme Annual Report (Un-Abridged): Financial Year 2019-2020

b. Shares of only one company continued to be traded on de-merger: In such a scenario, the shares of Non Traded/Unlisted
would be fairly valued in good faith by AMC on case to case basis. Traded share to be valued at traded price.
c. Both the shares are not traded on de-merger: In such a scenario, the shares of both the companies would be fairly
valued in good faith by AMC on case to case basis.

In case of any other type of capital corporate action event, the same to be valued at fair price on case to case basis.

ii) Preference Shares
Preference share can be convertible or non- convertible. If the non-convertible preference shares are traded then the
closing price of the day will be considered for valuation. If the same is non-traded it will be valued at the present value of
all the future expected dividend payments and the maturity value, discounted at the bond yield of the issuer.

The value of convertible preference share can be expressed as follows:
Convertible preference shares shall be valued based on the underlying equity. This value shall be further discounted for
illiquidity to arrive at fair valuation. Traded convertible preference shares shall be valued based on the closing price.

iii) Warrants
Warrants will be valued at the value of the share which would be obtained on exercise of the warrant as reduced by the
amount which would be payable on exercise of the warrant. The value arrived will be reduced by appropriate discount.
Traded Warrants shall be valued based on the closing price.

iv) Right entitlements
Right entitlements will be valued as difference between the value of closing price of the underlying equity share and the
rights offer price. Right entitlements if traded will be valued at the closing price on Principal stock exchange (NSE). If the
entitlements are not traded on NSE but are traded on any other stock exchange the closing price of the exchange where it
traded will be considered for valuation.

Non traded rights entitlement will be valued as difference between the value of the underlying equity share (determined as per
valuation policy) and the rights offer price.

III. Valuation of Money market and Debt securities which are rated below investment grade:
A money market or debt security shall be classified as “below investment grade” if the long term rating of the security assigned
by a SEBI registered Credit Rating Agency (CRA) is below BBB- or if the short term rating of the security is below A3.

A money market or debt security shall be classified as “Default” if the interest and / or principal amount has not been received,
on the day such amount was due or when such security has been downgraded to “Default” grade by a CRA. In this respect,
PPFAS Mutual Fund shall promptly inform the Valuation Agencies and the CRAs, any instance of non-receipt of payment of
interest and / or principal amount (part or full) in any security.

In case of instruments with dual rating the same would be considered below investment grade if any of the rating agencies
rating that instrument downgrades it to sub investment grade.

All money market and debt securities which are rated below investment grade shall be valued at the price provided by AMFI
appointed valuation agencies (CRISIL/ICRA). Till such time the valuation agencies compute the valuation of money market and
debt securities classified as below investment grade, such securities shall be valued on the basis of indicative haircut provided
by these agencies. These indicative haircuts shall be applied on the date of credit event i.e. migration of the security to sub-
investment grade and shall continue till the valuation agencies compute the valuation price of such securities. Further these
haircuts shall be updated and refined, as and when there is availability of material information which impact the haircuts.

Consideration of traded price for valuation:
In case of trades during the interim period between date of credit event and receipt of valuation price from valuation agencies,
AMC shall consider such traded price for valuation if it is lower than the price post standard haircut. The said traded price shall
be considered for valuation till the valuation price is determined by the valuation agencies.

In case of trades after the valuation price is computed by the valuation agencies as referred above and where the trade price
is lower than such computed price, such traded price shall be considered for the purpose of valuation and the valuation price
may be revised accordingly.

The trades referred above shall be of a minimum size as determined by valuation agencies.

AMC may deviate from the indicative haircuts and/or the valuation price for money market and debt securities rated below
investment grade provided by valuation agencies subject to the following:

• The detailed rationale for deviation from the price post haircut or price provided by the valuation agencies shall be recorded
by the AMC.
• The rationale for deviation along with details such as information about the security (ISIN, issuer name, rating etc.), price
at which security was valued vis-a vis the price provided by the valuation agencies (as applicable) and the impact of such
deviation on scheme NAV (in amount and percentage terms) shall be reported to the Board of AMC and Trustees.
• The rationale for deviation along with details as mentioned above shall also be disclosed to the investors .
84 Scheme Annual Report : Financial Year 2019-2020
Scheme Annual Report (Un-Abridged): Financial Year 2019-2020

In abnormal situations, market disruptions etc. where current market information may not be obtainable and in case CRISIL
and ICRA are unable to provide a security level price for any security on particular day(s), the fund manager(s) will, with the prior
approval of Valuation Committee, value the securities appropriately to ensure true and fair valuation.

In case price is not provided by designated agencies, on the date of allotment of security, then:

a. In case of discounted securities, valuation shall be done at price derived by adding one-day amortisation to the allotment
price;
b. In case of coupon bearing securities, valuation shall be done at allotment price

Beyond 3 business days from the date of allotment of the security, the valuation price would be determined by the Valuation
Committee using principle of fair valuation. Necessary documentation shall be maintained in this regard, including method
adopted along with the detailed computation of the fair price.

Brokerage shall be added to the Deal price to compute amortisation



Treatment of accrued interest, future interest accrual and future recovery:
(i) The treatment of accrued interest and future accrual of interest, in case of money market and debt securities classified as
below investment grade or default, is detailed below:
a. The indicative haircut that has been applied to the principal should be applied to any accrued interest.
b. In case of securities classified as below investment grade but not default, interest accrual may continue with the same
haircut applied to the principal. In case of securities classified as default, no further interest accrual shall be made.

Treatment of any future recovery in terms of principal or interest:
a. Any recovery shall first be adjusted against the outstanding interest recognized in the NAV and any balance shall be
adjusted against the value of principal recognized in the NAV.
b. Any recovery in excess of the carried value (i.e. the value recognized in NAV) should then be applied first towards amount
of interest written off and then towards amount of principal written off.

III.
Other Securities:
Listed Mutual Funds Units:

Valuation will be at the closing price at the principal stock exchange(NSE).

If units are not traded on principal stock exchange on a particular valuation day, the closing price on any other stock exchange
where units are traded will be used.
If units are not traded on any stock exchange on a particular valuation day, then NAV per unit will be used for valuation.

Unlisted Mutual Fund Units:


Valuation will be based on Net Asset Value (NAV) of Mutual Fund units.

Listed Units of InvITs / REITs :
The units of InvIT and REIT will be valued at the closing price at the principal stock exchange. If units are not traded on principal
stock exchange on a particular valuation day, the closing price on any other stock exchange where units are traded will be
used.
If units are not traded on any stock exchange on a particular valuation day, then closing price at which it traded on the principal
stock exchange or any other stock exchange, as the case may be, on the earliest previous day will be used provided such date
is not more than 30 days prior to valuation date.

Unlisted / Non- Traded Units of InvITs /REITs:


Where units of InvIT and REIT are not traded on any stock exchange for a continuous period of 30 days then the valuation for
such units of InvIT and REIT will be determined based on the procedure determined by Valuation Committee.

B. Valuation of securities with Put/Call Options


The option embedded securities would be valued as follows:

i) Securities with Call Option:


The securities with call option shall be valued at the lower of the value as obtained by valuing the security to final maturity
and valuing the security to call option. In case there are multiple call options, the lowest value obtained by valuing to the
various call dates and valuing to the maturity date is to be taken as the value of the instrument.

ii) Securities with Put Option:


The securities with put option shall be valued at the higher of the value as obtained by valuing the security to final maturity
and valuing the security to put option. In case there are multiple put options, the highest value obtained by valuing to the
various put dates and valuing to the maturity date is to be taken as the value of the instruments.

iii) Securities with both Put and Call Option:


Only securities with put / call options on the same day and having the same put and call option price, shall be deemed to

a) Identify a ‘Put Trigger Date’, a date on which ‘price to put option’ is the highest when compared with price to other put
options and maturity price.
b) Identify a ‘Call Trigger Date’, a date on which ‘price to call option’ is the lowest when compared with price to other call
options and maturity price.
c) In case no Put Trigger Date or Call Trigger Date (‘Trigger Date”) is available, then the valuation would be done to
maturity price. In case one Trigger Date is available, then valuation would be done as to the said Trigger Date. In case
both Trigger Dates are available, then valuation would be done to the earliest date.

If a put option is not exercised by a Mutual Fund when exercising such put option would have been in favour of the scheme,
in such cases the justification for not exercising the put option shall be provided to the Board of AMC and Trustees.

iv) Any put option inserted subsequent to the issuance of the security shall not be considered for the purpose of valuation and
original terms of the issue will be considered for valuation.

C. Treatment of Upfront Fees on Trades:
i) Upfront fees on all trades (including primary market trades), by whatever name and manner called, would be
considered by the valuation agencies for the purpose of valuation of security.
ii) Details of such upfront fees should be shared by the AMC on the trade date to the valuation agencies as part of the
trade reporting to enable them to arrive at the fair valuation for that date.

86 Scheme Annual Report : Financial Year 2019-2020


Scheme Annual Report (Un-Abridged): Financial Year 2019-2020

agencies immediately.
(b) Any extension in the maturity of a money market or debt security shall result in the security being treated as “Default”,
for the purpose of valuation.
(c) If the maturity date of a money market or debt security is shortened and then subsequently extended, the security shall
be treated as “Default” for the purpose of valuation.
(d) Any put option inserted subsequent to the issuance of the security shall not be considered for the purpose of valuation

of guidelines provided by the valuation committee. In approving such valuations, the valuation committee shall follow the
principles of fair valuation and provide suitable justification for the same.

also be disclosed immediately and prominently, under a separate head on the website of AMC.

IV. Valuation of Foreign Securities:

The security issued outside India and listed on the stock exchanges outside India shall be valued as follows:

The security issued outside India and listed on the stock exchanges outside India shall be valued at the closing price on the
stock exchange at which it is listed. However, in case a security is listed on more than one stock exchange, the AMC reserves
the right to determine the stock exchange, the price of which would be used for the purpose of valuation of that security. Any
subsequent change in the reference stock exchange used for valuation will be backed by reasons for such change being
recorded in writing by the AMC. Further in case of extreme volatility in the overseas markets, the securities listed in those
markets may be valued on a fair value basis.

For valuation of securities registered in USA, NYSE has been selected as principal stock exchange. If any security is not listed
on NYSE, security prices as quoted on NASDAQ will be considered. For securities registered in UK, LSE (London Stock Exchange)
has been selected as principal stock exchange. Securities prices as quoted on LSE will be used for valuation purposes.

Scheme Annual Report : Financial Year 2019-2020 87


Scheme Annual Report (Un-Abridged): Financial Year 2019-2020

If a significant event has occurred after security prices were established for the computation of NAV of the Scheme, the AMC
reserves the right to value the said securities on fair value basis. When on a particular valuation day, a security has not been
traded on the selected stock exchange; the security will be valued in accordance with SEBI guidelines applicable for security
listed in India.

If the security is listed in a time zone ahead of India, then the same day’s closing price would be used for valuation. If the
security is listed in a time zone behind India, then the previous day’s price would be used for valuation.”

rate available on Reuters / RBI (Financial Benchmarks India Ltd- FBIL) / Bloomberg. The Trustees reserve the right to change the
source for determining the exchange rate.

V. All expenses are accounted on accrual basis

e) Unit Premium Reserve (“UPR”) and Income Equalisation

In case of an open ended scheme on issue / repurchase of units, the portion of the premium which is attributable to realised
gains is credited / debited to the Revenue account for the period as Income Equalisation at the year end. It is reflected in the
revenue account after the net realised gain/ (loss) of the scheme is determined. The balance portion of the premium that is not
attributable to realised gains is credited/ debited to the UPR.

If units are sold at a price lower than the face value the difference is debited to the Revenue Account as Income Equalisation
and vice versa.

f) Determination of net asset values

I. The net asset value of the units of the scheme is determined separately for units issued under the different plans /
options.
II. For calculating the net asset values under different plans / options, the amount of sale/repurchase of units under each plan
/ option are separately accounted for. Further, net income arising from such deployment are allocated daily to the plans

Voting Policy - PPFAS Mutual Fund


Proxy Voting Policy:

PPFAS Asset Management Private Limited (“Asset Management Company /AMC”) is the Investment Manager to the Scheme(s) of
PPFAS Mutual Fund (the Fund). The AMC has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the scheme(s) / unit holders of the Fund.
This responsibility includes exercising voting rights attached to the securities of the companies in which the schemes of the Fund
invest (“Investee Company”) at the general meetings of the Investee Companies in the best interest of the scheme(s) / unit holders.
This Voting Policy shall be applicable to all securities including equity holding across all schemes of the Fund.

SEBI vide its circular No. SEBI / IMD / CIR No.18/198647/2010 dated March 15, 2010 has advised all the Asset Management
Companies to disclose general policies and procedure for exercising the voting rights in respect of shares held by the Mutual
Funds in the Investee Company and play an active role in ensuring better corporate governance.

In terms of the SEBI Circular, the AMC shall disclose the following on its website and in the Annual Report of the Fund from the
financial year 2010-11 onwards:

• the general policies and procedure for exercising voting rights in respect securities held by the Fund in the Investee Company.
• the actual exercise of votes in the AGMs / EGMs of the investee companies in the following matters in the format prescribed by
SEBI:

a. Corporate governance matters, including changes in the state of incorporation, merger and other corporate restructuring,
and anti-takeover provisions.;
b. Changes to capital structure, including increases and decreases of capital and preferred stock issuances;
c. Stock option plans and other management compensation issues;
d. Social and corporate responsibility issues;
e. Appointment and Removal of Directors;
f. Any other issue that may affect the interest of minority shareholders in general and interest of the unit-holders in particular.

Voting Guidelines / Philosophy of Voting:

The Investment Policy for the schemes of the Fund is to invest in companies which have good business with good management
and follows corporate governance norms.

The AMC’s policy is to vote for all the “scheme/s” of the Fund with regard to an “investee company” in the same manner. The AMC
will always vote in the best interest of the schemes/unit holders.

All voting decisions are taken by us on a case to case basis. The concerned Research Analyst / Fund Manager at the AMC
reviews carefully the different proposals put before the Shareholders / Management and arrives at a final decision of how to vote,
keeping in mind the long-term interest of the scheme(s) / unit holders and investment philosophy of the Fund. This decision shall be
communicated by the research team to the AMC’s back office team who shall then forward this information to the “representative/s”
appointed by the Trustee to attend and vote at the ‘investee company’ meeting.

At present, AMC is not casting vote on the following matters:

For proxy voting in arbitrage companies, it is not part of our core portfolio holding. Since, we may not have in-depth coverage of
the company in question and if we are not able to decide on a resolution we will not cast our vote. On matters, which are obvious
in nature and we have our view, we will cast our vote accordingly. Considering, it is an arbitrage position hedged by offsetting
derivative contract, we are not affected by price movement in the stock.

The AMC will also exercise the facilities of E-voting where it has to cast vote through postal ballot as per the Companies (Management
and Administration) Rules, 2014. If there is some serious corporate governance issue in the Investee Company then the AMC will
vote against the proposal and in such cases, may exit from the investment. If the AMC decides to abstain from voting on a proposal
which falls under the aforesaid six matters the Research Analyst / Fund Manager shall document the reasons for that decision.

Scheme Annual Report (Un-Abridged): Financial Year 2019-2020

Conflicts of Interest:

While voting, the AMC will identify any conflicts that exist between the interests of the AMC and the scheme / unit holders. It shall
do so by reviewing the relationship of the AMC with the Investee Companies to determine;

• If the AMC or any of its employees or schemes has any financial, business or personal relationship with the Investee Company
or
• Whether the Investee Company is a group company of the AMC or
• Whether the Investee Company has investments in the Schemes of the Fund.

Voting Procedure:

As per the Companies Act, 2013, a proxy is not entitled to vote except on a poll. At the general meetings, generally a resolution is
to be put to vote in the meeting by show of hands at the first instance unless a poll is demanded.

Generally, as a practice in the general meetings of the listed companies, a resolution is carried out by show of hands and therefore
in such case proxy is not entitled to vote.

The Fund is incorporated / registered as a Trust under the Indian Trust Act and, the Trustee of the Fund is a company formed under
the Companies Act, 1956. The Trustee being a company can appoint representative to attend the general meetings and vote on the
Resolution by show of hands and e-voting in the general meetings of the Investee Company as per Section 113 of the Companies
Act, 2013. The representative appointed by the Trustee endeavours to attend the general meetings of the Investee Company and
exercise the voting right of the AMC/Trustees. In case the resolution is carried out through Postal Ballot the AMC exercise vote on
the resolution through the Postal Ballot or through E-Voting.

The AMC officials/the Custodian (DBS Bank Limited) appointed by the AMC (as representative of the Fund) then picks up the voting
instructions given by the back-office team and accordingly votes at the general meetings of the Investee Companies.

Where Investee company has provided e-voting facility, PPFAS Mutual Fund will exercise voting rights through this platform.

Record keeping:

The Compliance Team along with the Research Team of the AMC shall maintain records of the voting and any document the AMC
created that was material to making a decision of how to vote on proposals, or that memorializes that decision.

Internal Mechanism to Monitor Policy Implementation:

The Compliance Officer of the AMC has the responsibility for monitoring the implementation of the Company’s proxy voting policy,
practices, and disclosures and reviewing the proxy procedure.
