year ended March 31, 2023, and other accompanying notes and certificates. Also enclosed are the Consolidated
Audited Financial Statements for the same period, which include its wholly owned subsidiary, APAC Housing Finance
Private Limited (“APACHF”). Together they are referred to as APAC. The Management Discussion and Analysis is also
enclosed.

APAC had an excellent year, with the loan book growing 81% to Rs 1051.08 crores as on 31st March 2023, on a
consolidated basis. Total revenue from operations showed even stronger growth, rising 109% to Rs 171.19 crores in
2022-23 from Rs 82.03 crores in the previous year. While this was mainly due to AUM growth, our focus on the micro
business loan segment also improved the overall yield on our loan book. Due to higher borrowings to fund growth, our
interest costs increased; hence, Net Revenues grew 76%. Expense growth was mostly due to growth in branches and
investment in improving our technology stack. As revenues growth strongly outpaced expense growth, Pre-Provision
Operating Profits grew an impressive 118% to Rs 48.91 crores. While the core portfolio remained robust, the Company
provided for/wrote off a major part of its non-core/run-off book leading to slightly higher credit costs. Profits Before Tax
grew 2.7 times to Rs 32.74 crores. In the previous year, our income tax liability was very low due to deferred tax credits
which were not available in 2022-23 resulting in higher tax liability this year estimated at Rs 8.77 crores. Nevertheless,
Profits After Tax more than doubled to Rs 23.97 crores from Rs 11.15 crores in the previous year.
APAC has managed its loan portfolio closely and the quality of its book improved further, with GNPA falling to 1.25%
from 1.38% in the previous year. GNPA on the core book which is ~98.6% of our overall book was a very modest 0.70%
as on 31st March 2023. Stressed assets have been more than adequately provisioned. The balance sheet remains
strong with net worth of Rs 488.53 crores as on 31st March 2023 and leverage at 1.4. APAC is currently in the process
of raising further equity capital.

TRANSFER TO RESERVES
As per requirement of RBI regulations, the Company has transferred the following amounts to various reserves during
Financial Year ended March 31, 2023:
Amount Transferred to Amount in (Rs Crore)
Statutory Reserve 4.79

BUSINESS OPERATIONS
APAC’s growth journey gained further momentum in FY23, with the loan book growing 81% to Rs 1051.08 crores, with
zero DSA sourcing. APAC closed FY23 with 122 branches, nearly 47% growth as compared to FY22.
Most notable is the strong momentum achieved on disbursements of Rs 78.97 crore in March 2023 as against Rs 58.51
crores in March 2022 (~1.35x increase). Given the consistently strong disbursement trend and medium to long term
nature of these loans, APAC, on run rate basis itself, is targeting an AUM of over Rs 1,700 crores by 31st March 2024.
Given the small ticket size (around Rs 4 to 6 lacs) of most loans, the loan portfolio is very granular which mitigates
portfolio level credit risk. Geographical diversification across many branches in 6 different states and across industries
further adds to the resilience of our portfolio.
APAC continues to demonstrate strong credit quality with GNPA on the consolidated book falling to 1.25% as on 31st
March 2023 from 1.38% in the previous year. Core book GNPA was 0.70% as of 31st March 2023. During the pandemic,
our physical presence and digital connect allowed us to be in constant touch with borrowers and achieve impressive
collections and recoveries. APAC was also very successful in running-down its modest non-core portfolio to ~1.4% of
AUM as of 31st March 2023.
APAC remains focused on being a secured lender (almost 100% of portfolio secured by property), to underserved micro
and small enterprises in semi-urban and rural areas enabled by a strong technology stack.

DIVIDEND
Since your Company is in an early stage, the Directors do not recommend any dividend for the period under review.

RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company has strong risk management systems and processes, with a high degree of independent oversight.
Senior management is very knowledgeable and experienced and has been through several business cycles. Board
oversight is exercised through the Risk Management Committee and regular reviews.
Credit risk is managed through board approved policies and product programs under the oversight of APAC’s Credit
Committee. This committee also has 2 independent members, Smt. Varsha Purandare (ex-Chief Credit & Risk Officer
and Dy MD, SBI) and Mr. Arijit Chanda, a highly experienced and respected retail finance professional. All approvals
by the APAC Credit Committee need to be mandatorily unanimous. Portfolio reviews are carried out regularly by the
business, credit, and risk functions. Almost 100% of the portfolio is secured by property. Gross Non-performing Assets
as on March 31, 2023, were at 1.25%, which have been adequately provided for. GNPA on the core book was 0.7%.
The Company has very modest leverage and, hence, liquidity and interest rate risks are low.
In 2022, the Company set up a separate Operations Risk Management Unit with an experienced head. An Operational
Risk Management Committee has also been formed, chaired by the Chief Risk Officer and with some members of
the Management Committee also as members. There are strong internal controls over systems and processes, with
resilience provided by good use of technology and training for all staff. The Internal Audit department carries out regular
reviews of all processes and branches. There is also a separate Fraud Control Unit with trained staff.
APAC has in place a Staff Code of Conduct, staff policies on whistle blowers, prevention of sexual harassment, related
party transactions, conflicts of interest etc. The Fair Practice Code and Grievance Redressal Mechanism etc. are also
in place.
The Company is in the process of implementing the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (“ICAAP”) and
has engaged a leading consulting firm to advise on the same. This will provide a comprehensive risk management
architecture and process.

Management Discussion
And Analysis
Business Profile
APAC Financial Services Private Limited (“APACFS” or “Company”) is a tech led secured MSME lender in semi-urban
and rural markets catering primarily to micro enterprises. It has a wholly owned subsidiary, APAC Housing Finance
Private Limited (“APACHF”). Together, they are referred to as APAC. The following discussion and analysis refer to the
consolidated entity. APAC is in the process of amalgamation of APACHF with APACFS, subject to necessary regulatory
and statutory approvals.
Macroeconomic Environment
FY23 saw India emerging successfully from the pandemic as the 5th largest economy globally, from the 11th largest only a
decade ago. While the world faces geopolitical uncertainty, inflation, and volatile public markets, the Indian economy has
remained resilient owing to its underlying economic fundamentals and reliance on domestic drivers. The Government’s
‘Saptarishi’ priorities, which include inclusive development, reaching the last mile and investments, coupled with its
regulatory prudence, should enable India to deliver accelerated growth while balancing fiscal challenges. India delivered
~7% real GDP growth in FY23 and remains a multi decade growth opportunity.
Market Overview and Opportunity
The MSME sector, comprising 70 million businesses (of which 99.5% are micro enterprises), contributes to about 30%
of India’s GDP and employs ~111 million people. Therefore, if the ambition is for India to be a $5 trillion economy, it is
imperative that MSMEs have enough capital to grow. However, Micro and Small enterprises are often underserved and
continue to remain deprived of adequate formal credit – as per CRIF Highmark and CIBIL research, the MSME credit
gap has infact grown from ~Rs 58 lakh crore in FY17 to ~Rs 85 lakh crore in FY22.
NBFCs are well positioned to assist in bridging this massive credit gap and thereby helping achieve the twin goals of
‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and a $5 trillion economy. NBFCs offer customised products for MSMEs withdeep penetration in
semi urban-rural areas and differentiated underwriting to assess cash flows. This relative strength is demonstrated by
NBFCs’ share of MSME credit growing from 14% in FY15 to 20% in FY22.
Although MSMEs were severely impacted during the pandemic years, during FY23 we have seen stabilisation
of delinquencies and improving portfolio quality across the board. We believe that borrowers in this segment have
good intent to repay. We must also credit the Government, its agencies and the regulators for offering extensive relief
measures and supporting digitization of MSMEs over the last few years, thereby reinstating their high growth trajectory.
Within the MSME credit segment the less than Rs 10 lakh loan ticket size is an attractive segment as it is deep,
underserved, granular and offers higher risk adjusted yields with the collateral being self-occupied residential property.
This segment is the focus of APAC and represents a large market opportunity: estimated at Rs 22 lakh crore, while the
credit outstanding is a fraction of the same at Rs 1.9 lakh crore in FY22. We expect credit to this segment (i.e. less than
Rs 10 lakh loan ticket size) to continue to grow at a strong pace, driven by:
i. Large total addressable market (TAM), i.e. massive credit gap
ii. Increasing digitization
iii. Growth in branch network of lenders
iv. Reduction in risk premiums due to increasing digitization
v. Inclusion of new to credit customers and
vi. Continued support of Government initiatives such as CGTMSE, MUDRA, Udyam and others
We believe APAC’s chosen customer/product segment is large and unserved. NBFCs with strong customer focus and
proximity, with granular and secured portfolio, disciplined underwriting, strong digitization and strong capitalisation will
have a high probability of success.
Business Performance and Portfolio Quality
In FY23, APAC delivered a strong performance on the key metrics of Growth, Quality and Profitability (G.Q.P.). APAC
achieved a loan book size of Rs 1,051 crores across ~20,000 customers as of 31st March 2023.
Business Strategy
APAC remains a focused secured lender (99% of portfolio secured by property), to underbanked and underserved
micro enterprises in semi-urban and rural areas with technology as the key enabler. On the back of APAC’s in-house
developed origination, underwriting and customer service technology platform APAC α, along with our on the ground
presence, APAC is able to:

i. Source customers directly with zero DSA sourcing.
ii. Gain a superior understanding of the customer and build a high touch relationship, supported by our customer care

highly digitised approach.
v. Capture necessary data points to improve the quality of our underwriting, among other benefits.
Since inception, APAC has been disciplined in its mantra of balancing G.Q.P. APAC’s focus is not on footfalls or eyeballs.
It is not in growing top-line with expanding losses in the bottom-line. We respect capital, be it from the leadership team,
our institutional and other investors, or banks who have provided us with attractive leverage. We are a strong and
sustainable growth oriented firm, with authenticity and fairness.
Growth
• APAC’s total loans grew by 81% yoy to Rs 1,051 crores as of 31st March 2023, with zero DSA sourcing.
• APAC closed FY23 with 122 branches, nearly 47% growth as compared to FY22.
• Most notable is the strong momentum achieved on disbursements in FY23 vs FY22. Given the consistently strong
disbursement trend and medium to long term nature of these loans, APAC, is aiming to achieve an AUM of over
Rs 1,700 crores by 31st March 2024.
Portfolio Quality
Given the small ticket size (around Rs 4 to 6 lacs) of most loans, the loan portfolio is very granular which mitigates
portfolio level credit risk. Geographical diversification across 122 branches in 6 different states and across industries
further adds to the resilience of our portfolio.
APAC continues to demonstrate strong credit quality with core GNPAs in its core business of 0.70% as of 31st March
2023. During the pandemic, our physical presence and digital connect allowed us to be in constant touch with borrowers
and achieve impressive collections and recoveries. APAC was also very successful in running-down its modest non-
core portfolio to ~1.34% of AUM as of 31st March 2023.
Credit quality apart, on operational quality APAC has 97%+ NACH/E-NACH as on 31st March 2023. APAC has been
consistently maintaining digital/non-cash collections at ~99% of total collections throughout FY23. This helps in reduction
of operational errors and frauds in the business.
Opportunities and Threats
Opportunities
APAC caters to vast underserved segments. This requires physical and digital infrastructure and the capability built
to assess customer income, since formal financial records may be insufficient. Having built this infrastructure, APAC
is uniquely positioned to scale up in this segment by opening branches in states it is already present and adding new
states over a period of time. This, along with pricing power, means high growth with sustainable profitability over many
years to come.
Threats
While we have not encountered significant competition so far in our focused segment, this segment has started to come
into the limelight, with a few of our peers raising significant equity in recent times. This may lead to manpower cost
escalation and put pressure on pricing and other commercial terms.
Financial Performance
The summary of the Company’s financial performance for the FY23 and the FY22, on both stand alone and consolidated
basis, is given below:

APAC had an excellent year, highlighted by growth of 81% in its loan book and revenues, and doubling of its bottom line.
This was achieved in a year of continuing investment in branch manpower, more than infrastructure and technology.
The loan book grew 81% to Rs 1,051.08 crores as on 31st March 2023, on a consolidated basis. Total revenue from
operations showed even stronger growth, rising 109% to Rs 171.19 crores in FY23 from Rs 82.03 crores in the previous
year. While this was mainly due to AUM growth, our focus on the micro business loan segment also improved the overall
yield on our loan book. Borrowings and interest costs increased; hence, net revenues grew 76% yoy. Expense growth
was mostly due to growth in branches and investment in improving our technology stack. As revenue growth of 76%
yoy strongly outpaced expense growth 59% yoy, Pre-Provision Operating Profits grew an impressive 118% to Rs 48.91
crores. While the core portfolio remained robust, the Company provided for/wrote off a major part of its non-core/run-off
book leading to slightly higher credit costs. Profits Before Tax grew 2.7 times to Rs 32.74 crores. In the previous year,
our income tax liability was very low due to deferred tax credits which were not available in FY23 resulting in higher tax
liability for the year estimated at Rs 8.77 crores. Nevertheless, Profits After Tax more than doubled to Rs 23.97 crores
from Rs 11.15 crores in the previous year.
As mentioned earlier, Quality is the key focus for APAC. Having managed its loan portfolio closely through the Covid
affected previous two years, the Company saw an improvement in the quality of its book, with GNPA falling to 1.25%
from 1.38% in the previous year. GNPA on the core book was a very modest 0.70% as on 31st March 2023. Stressed
assets have been more than adequately provisioned. The balance sheet remains strong with net worth of Rs 488.53
crores as on 31st March 2023 and leverage at 1.4.
Asset Liability Management
APAC’s strong governance framework and branch led, secured, granular portfolio has consistently attracted high quality
bank lenders. During FY23, APAC added 9 new lenders and received limit enhancement from 6 existing lenders. As on
31st March 2023, APAC has accepted loan sanctions totaling up to Rs. 882 crores from 15 lenders.
During FY23, your company received rating upgrades from both ICRA and Acuite on the back of superior operating and
financial performance. Our credit ratings currently are [ICRA] A-(Stable) and ACUITE A(Stable). Notably, even though
RBI hiked rates by 250 bps during FY23, APAC’s cost of funds grew significantly lower. Due to rising interest rates,
APAC increased its Prime Lending Rate (PLR) by 50 bps in Q4FY23.
Risk Management
APAC has strong risk management systems and processes, with a high degree of independent oversight. Senior
management has deep domain expertise and experience (semi-urban/rural and MSMEs) across business cycles.
Credit Risk
The Board approves the Credit Risk Policy which sets out the broad guidelines and limits under which various product
credit programs and policies are approved by the APAC Credit Committee. The APAC Credit Committee consists of the
Managing Director, Executive Director, Joint CEOs and two independent members, Smt. Varsha Purandare (ex-Chief
Credit and Risk Officer and Deputy MD, SBI) and Mr. Arijit Chanda, a highly experienced and respected retail finance
professional. All approvals by the APAC Credit Committee need to be mandatorily unanimous. Portfolio reviews are
carried out regularly by the business, credit, and risk functions. Over 99% of the portfolio is secured by property. The
Company is deepening its use of technology and alternate data to improve the quality of its product programs and credit
approval processes. Gross Non-performing assets as on 31st March 2023 were at 1.25%, which have been adequately
provided for.
Way Forward:
It is imperative that the risks are managed by stringent credit processes that encompass the entire gamut of the credit
lifecycle as follows:
i. Sourcing of the right borrowers.
ii. Structuring of product program that would suit the selected markets / geographical and demographic profiles.

APAC FINANCIAL
ANNUAL SERVICES
REPORT 2022-2023 39
iii. Strengthening the credit decision making by templatising the key industries. Templates will ensure parity in the loan
eligibility calculation across industries.
iv. Credit administration processes to provide adequate controls.
Liquidity and Interest Rate Risk
APAC has low leverage which results in low liquidity and interest rate risks. Our treasury investments are conservatively
managed and limited to callable FDs with highly rated banks/FIs and short-term liquid and money market mutual funds.
In an increasing interest rates environment, APAC is able to reprice new loan disbursements to mitigate risks arising
out of adverse movements in interest rates. With interest rates rising, APAC increased the pricing on both its existing
floating rate loans and new fixed rate loans disbursed in FY23.
Operational Risk
Operational risk encompasses business process and change risk, technology failure, financial crimes, legal and regulatory
risk. The governing principles and fundamental components of APAC’s operational risk management approach include
the following mechanisms:
i. Accountability of the individual business lines for management and control of the significant operational risks to
which they are exposed.
ii. Defined internal control procedures as enumerated under various product programs and policies.
iii. Operations functions to maintain requisite checklists to ensure control over disbursements and collections.
iv. Internal audit department to undertake audit of various departments and processes for identifying lapses in various
process flows.
v. An effective organization structure through which operational risk is managed, including:
a. Separation of duties between key functions
b. Maker and checker at critical level of activities
c. Monthly reconciliation of key items
vi. A separate Fraud Control Unit with trained staff.
vii. Business continuity plans.
viii. Continuous training of all staff, like KYC and anti-money laundering training, to make them aware of inherent
operational risks and available mitigants.
Key Elements of Operational Risk Management (ORM)
• ORM Governance: ORM governance structure includes Risk Management Committee of the Board and the
Operations Risk Management Committee (ORMC).
• ORM Policy and Procedures: ORM Policy and related processes are prepared by the Head – Operational Risk
Management and the Chief Risk Officer and cover Risk and Control Self- Assessment (RCSA), Key Risk Indicators
(KRI), Loss Data Management (LDM)
• ORM Organization Structure: APAC’s organizational structure for managing operational risks consists of the
following three lines of defence:
1. First line of defence consists of functions that own and manage risk, which in APAC consists of all the
business units and support functions, through adherence to the laid down procedures.
2. Second line of defence consists of functions that oversee risks, viz. the Risk Management and Compliance
departments.
3. Third line of defence consists of functions that provide independent assurance. The Internal Audit team in
APAC provides independent assurance on the effectiveness of governance, risk management, and internal
controls.
Reputational Risk
APAC is exposed to reputational risks through the actions or lapses of its employees, deliberate or unintentional.
This would include examples like mistreatment of customers/ vendors, poor regulatory compliance, weak governance,
employee misconduct, etc. Managing reputation risks is a key responsibility of the Board and senior management. The
Staff Code of Conduct, staff policies on whistleblowers, prevention of sexual harassment etc., and the Fair Practice
Code and Grievance Redressal Mechanism etc. have been put in place to mitigate such risks.

Customers
Our customers are largely self-employed, underserved micro enterprises in semi-urban and rural India. These are
the businesses that we interact with every day – kirana stores, animal product owners, vegetable and fruit traders,
plumbers, and painters, among many others.
We are building a customer centric organisation that is focused on delivering customized, fair, transparent, and quick
service – whether that is via our well-trained sales teams in the branches, centralised customer service agents or via
our customer mobile app. All our customers are sourced directly via our well-trained on the ground sales teams, who
are empowered by APAC α’s mobility solution.
As a result of our customer centric approach, our customer base has grown very strongly from 9,881 in FY22 to
20,184 in FY23 (104% growth). Beyond extending a loan, APAC has genuinely impacted lives of our customers and
strengthened financial inclusion: 98% of APAC’s loans have women as primary or co-borrowers and for a large number
of APAC’s customers, APAC’s loan is their maiden entry into India’s formal credit system.
We consistently measure our customer satisfaction by our Net Promoter Scores and have maintained a positive trend
on customer satisfaction with an average score of 9+ (out of 10) in FY23 owing to our multiple customer focus initiatives
and sharp product-market fit.
People
Our dedicated and skilled team is the driving force behind APAC’s achievements. As an organization, we recognize
that our people are our most valuable assets, and we take pride in offering a positive work environment that fosters
employee satisfaction, well-being and commitment. APAC’s total workforce as on 31st March 2023 was 1,064, including
969 in the branches.
Learning and Development
We provide continuous learning opportunities to our employees to help them grow professionally and take on new
and challenging roles within the organization. Many of our field employees were promoted to managerial roles during
the year, and we continue to develop learning content that covers product, sales, operations, legal, compliance, and
regulatory matters.
Rewards and Recognition
We believe in recognizing and rewarding high-performing individuals and teams. We have a performance-linked
incentive program that evaluates employees holistically, and we also have a monthly STAR award for high performers.
Additionally, we have an inclusive and employee-friendly Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOP) program that enables
employees to participate in the Company’s future growth and success. Some of the eligible employees exercised their
vested ESOPs during FY23, which made the ESOP program better appreciated by our employees.
To recognize the dedication of our employees who have worked with APAC for over three to five years, we implemented
Long Service Awards to thank them for their efforts.
Digital HR
We have a completely digitized HR process using Jarvis, a Darwinbox powered HRMS system. All HR processes,
including employee onboarding, offer letters, performance management, leave and attendance, and reimbursements,
are available on a mobile application for employees. All employee records are digitally stored in a central HR repository
on the cloud, accessible to employees on a need basis.
Our organization has implemented an end-to-end digital platform for managing employee stock ownership plans
(ESOPs). This platform provides employees with easy access to their ESOP-related details such as the number of
ESOPs granted, vested and exercised. Additionally, the platform enables employees to view various information related
to ESOP policies and processes.
In addition, we have improved our payroll process by transitioning to an established industry leader, HBS, with expertise
in payroll and related compliance matters.
We remain committed to providing our employees with the support and resources they need to thrive both professionally
and personally, and we are proud of the positive impact they have on our organization’s success.

Technology
Technology is the way of life at APAC. In FY23, APAC stabilised and scaled its in-house built platform APAC α, which
enables paperless customer onboarding, scientific underwriting, and credit decisioning. APAC α enables much faster
scale up of quality business, with progressively lower TAT for customers.
Key capabilities of the platform include:
• Digital onboarding and leveraging API integration with 3rd parties.
• System generated credit memos and sanction letters.
• Geo tagging, uploading documents, collateral etc. using a smart phone.
• Straight through processing with capabilities of initiating e-Stamping and e-signing from the platform.
APAC built an in-house light and easy to use customer app (APACm) with a vision to provide a digital branch experience
to every APAC customer. APACm allows customers to:
• Access their loan details (Language capabilities: English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, and Telugu).
• Pay their EMIs through multiple payment modes (including UPI and net banking).
• Digitally sign loan agreements, and much more.
The app allows APAC to remain digitally connected to its customers and helps in sending notifications such as EMI
reminders and cross sell offers, among others. APACm was rolled out actively to new customers in FY23 and had over
4,000 active downloads as of 31st March 2023.
As part of APAC’s drive to achieve its vision of technology enabled business process excellence, APAC has also
implemented the below-mentioned initiatives in FY23:
• An industry leading enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution Oracle Fusion.
• A data lake with associated business intelligence and analytical model building capabilities.
• A matured HRMS, document management and tracking system and a platform to manage centralised quality
control of customer files in digital form.
In FY24, in addition to continuously improving our current systems, APAC’s digital goals would be focused towards
predictive analytics, technology enabled customer servicing and increasing digital marketing efforts for new customer
acquisition.
Outlook for FY24
APAC plans to further expand its branch presence from 122 to 148 branches in FY24 in semi-urban and rural locations
in our existing 6 states. We believe in contiguous expansion and leveraging our local experience and data to carefully
launch new branches. APAC has a scalable, variable-cost driven branch model, which is highly profitable with strong
unit economics. These branches will further boost our AUM growth in FY24 and beyond.
Overall, with the investment already made in branches and employees, alongside significant investment in technology
and a demonstrated successful track record in disbursements, a solid foundation has been laid. With the strong
foundation in place, APAC is targeting its GQP mantra of high growth, strong quality and sustainable profitability in
FY24 and beyond.

APAC FINANCIAL
ANNUAL SERVICES
REPORT 2022-2023 51
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To the Members of APAC Financial Services Private Limited
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of APAC Financial Services Private Limited (the
“Company”), which comprise the Balance sheet as at March 31 2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss(including the
statement of Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for
the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “standalone financial statements” or as “financial statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone
financial statements prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’) read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, (‘Ind
AS’), gives the information required by the Act in the manner so required and gives a true and fair view in conformity
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2023,
the profits (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SAs”)
specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent
of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”)
together with the independence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements under
the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with these requirements and the ICAI’s 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 Standalone Financial Statements.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Annual report (which includes the Director’s report), but does not include the financial
statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified
above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent
with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If,
based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we
are required to report that fact.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the
preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance
of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the
Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate
accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and 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 Standalone Financial
Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, the Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Company’s Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone 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

APAC FINANCIAL SERVICES


ANNUAL REPORT 2022-2023 52
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 Standalone 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 Standalone 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 financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing
our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to the Standalone
Financial Statements, in place and the operating 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 Company’s 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 Standalone 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
Company to cease to continue as a going concern;
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate,
makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial
statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) Planning the scope of
our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) To evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in
the standalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, 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 those charged with governance 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.
Other Matter
The Company is in process of amalgamating its subsidiary APAC Housing Finance Private Limited. The Company has
received a no objection certificate (“NOC”) from the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”) on 12 May 2022 for the amalgamation
and filed an application for merger with National Company Law Tribunal (“NCLT”) on July 27, 2022 for amalgamation as
a going concern with effect from April 1, 2022. In relation to the application filed by the Company, NCLT on March 30,

REPORT 2022-2023 57
ANNEXURE 2 TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF APAC FINANCIAL SERVICES PRIVATE LIMTED
Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to the Standalone Financial Statements under Clause
(i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”).
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of APAC Financial Services Private
Limited (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2023 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company
for the year ended on that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls.
The Company’s Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the
internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of
internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”). These responsibilities include the design, implementation
and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and
efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the
prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely
preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal
Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, as specified under
section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by ICAI. Those
Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to these financial
statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls
with reference to these financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls
with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference
to these financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the
auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion
on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to these financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to these Financial Statements
A company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial controls with reference to
financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the
possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud
may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to
financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to financial
statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

APAC FINANCIAL SERVICES


ANNUAL REPORT 2022-2023 58

statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at
March 31, 2023, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering
the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

Financial Service ("NBFC") without accepting public deposits from Reserve Bank of India ("RBI") on February 21, 2018.
The Company is engaged in lending to individuals, micro and small enterprises in semi urban and rural areas.
Note 2: Basis of Preparation
a. Statement of Compliance
The Company has adopted Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) notified under Section 133 of the Act which confirms the generally accepted
accounting principles in India and other revelent provisions of the Act.
The Company has also complied with the guidelines issued by the RBI vide “Master Direction - Systemically
Important Non-Deposit Taking Company and Deposit Taking Company (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2016."
The financial statements are prepared based on the the notified Schedule III of the Act, as amended from time to
time, for NBFC's that are required to comply with Ind AS.
The financial statements are approved by the Company's Board of Directors on May 05, 2023.
Details of the Company's accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3.
b. Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared on going concern basis following accrual system of accounting
and are in accordance with the Ind AS. Further, the financial statements have been prepared on historical cost
basis except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities which are measured at fair values as explained in
relevant accounting policies.
c. Presentation of financial statements
The Balance Sheet, the Statement of Profit and Loss and Statement of Changes in Equity, are presented in the
format prescribed under Division III of Schedule III to the Act, as amended from time to time, as required for
NBFCs.
The Statement of Cash Flows has been presented as per the requirements of Ind AS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows".
The Company presents its balance sheet in order of liquidity. An analysis regarding recovery or settlement within
12 months from the reporting date (current) and more than 12 months after the reporting date (non–current) is
presented separately.
d. Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (`), which is the Company's functional currency. All
amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest thousands, unless otherwise indicated.
e. Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on historical cost basis except for the following items:
i. Financial assets and liabilities - Fair value/amortised cost, as applicable.
ii. Liability of ESOP - Fair value.
iii. Net defined benefit (asset)/ liability - Fair value of plan assets less present value of defined benefit obligations.
f. Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates,
judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting
policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as on
date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Application
of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and
the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in Note 3. Accounting estimates could
change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates

are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in
estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their
effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying
accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are
included in the following notes:
1. Business Model Assessment:
The Company determines its business model at the level that best reflects how it manages groups of financial
assets to achieve its business objective. Based on this assessment and future business plans of the Company,
the management has measured its financial assets at amortised cost as the assets are held within a business
model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial asset
give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (the "SPPI criterion").
2. Impairment losses on financial assets:
The Company has adopted a portfolio approach to compute expected credit loss ("ECL") except for high
value loans more than ` 3 Crore.
3. Defined employee benefit assets and liabilities:
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan is the present value of the gratuity obligation as determined using
actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual
developments in the future; these include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and
mortality rate. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit
obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at the end of
each reporting date.
4. Share-based payments:
Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate
valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires
determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share
option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. Due to the complexities involved
in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these
assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at the end of each reporting date.
5. Effective Interest rate ("EIR") method:
The Company’s EIR methodology recognises interest income using a rate of return that represents the best
estimate of a constant rate of return over the expected behavioural life of loans and recognises the effect of
potentially different interest rates charged at various stages and other characteristics of the product life cycle
(including prepayments, penalty interest and charges). This estimation, by nature, requires an element of
judgement regarding the expected behaviour and life-cycle of the instruments, as well expected changes to
the Company’s base rate and other fee income/expense that are integral parts of the instrument.
The Company has apportioned the processing fee received and variable operating expenses over 4 to 6
years as per the product category.
6. Income Tax:
The Company’s tax jurisdiction is in India. Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for
income tax, including the amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions.
Note 3: Significant accounting policies
a. Revenue recognition
1. Interest Income
For all financial assets measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest
rate (EIR) i.e. the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial
asset to the net carrying amount of the financial assets.

REPORT 2022-2023 65
APAC FINANCIAL SERVICES PRIVATE LIMITED
CIN NO. U65999MH2017PTC294664
Standalone notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023

The EIR (and therefore, the amortised cost of the asset) is calculated by taking into account any fees and
costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The Company recognises interest income using a rate of return that
represents the best estimate of a constant rate of return over the expected life of the financial instrument.
Interest on financial assets subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss, is recognised on
accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the respective contract.
Income on assets classified as non-performing assets (Stage 3) is recognised on cash basis, in accordance
with the guidelines issued by the RBI for NBFCs. Unrealised interest recognised as income is reversed in the
month in which the asset is classified as a non-performing asset ("NPA").
2. Fee Income
Fees/charges on loan assets, other than those considered an adjustment to EIR, are accounted for on accrual
basis.
Processing fees in respect of loans given is recognised on disbursement as per the terms of the contract.
Other charges such as cheque bounce charges, late payment charges, SOA charges etc. are recognised
when there is no significant uncertainty as to determination and realisation.
3. Investment Income
Interest income on fixed deposits with banks are recognised on accrual basis. Income on investments in
NCD/CP is calculated on EIR basis.
4. Net gain on fair value changes
Financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") or fair value through
other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), as applicable. The Company recognises gains/losses on fair value
change of financial assets measured as FVTPL and realised gains/losses on derecognition of financial asset
measured at fair value.
b. Financial instrument
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset in one entity and a financial liability or an
equity instrument in another entity.
1. Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual
provision of the financial instrument and are measured initially at fair value adjusted for transactions costs,
if any, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss which are measured initially at fair value.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities is described below.
2. Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets:
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into the following categories
upon initial recognition:
a) Amortised cost
b) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
c) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
All financial assets except for those at FVTPL or equity instruments at FVOCI are subject to review for
impairment at least at each reporting date to identify whether there is any objective evidence that a
financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are
applied for each category of financial assets, which are described below.
Amortised cost:
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost using EIR if both of the below conditions are met:
a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in
order to collect contractual cash flows; and

b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest ("SPPI") on the principal amount outstanding. The Company’s
loans and advances, security deposits, investment, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other
receivables fall in this category.
An impairment loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognised on financial assets carried at
amortised cost.
Modification of cash flows when the contractual cash flows of a financial asset are renegotiated or
otherwise modified and the renegotiation or modification does not result in derecognition of that financial
asset. The Company re-calculates the gross carrying amount of the financial asset and recognises a
modification gain or loss in the Statement of Profit or Loss. The gross carrying amount of the financial
asset is recalculated as the present value of the renegotiated or modified contractual cash flows that are
discounted at the financial asset’s original EIR. Any costs or fees incurred adjust the carrying amount of
the modified financial asset and are amortised over the remaining term of the modified financial asset.
Financial assets at FVTPL:
Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets that either do not meet the criteria for amortised
cost classification or are equity instruments held for trading or that meet certain conditions and are
designated at FVTPL upon initial recognition. Assets in this category are measured at fair value with
gains or losses recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss. The fair values of financial assets in this
category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique
where no active market exists.
The Company’s investments into mutual funds are used for short-term cash flow management and have
been classified under this category.
Financial assets at FVOCI:
FVOCI financial assets comprise of equity instruments measured at fair value. Gains and losses are
recognised in Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI") and reported within the FVOCI reserve in Statement
of Equity, except for dividend income, which is recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss.
3. De-recognition of financial assets:
De-recognition of financial assets due to substantial modification of terms and conditions - The Company
de-recognises a financial asset, such as a loan to a customer, when the terms and conditions have been
re-negotiated to the extent that, substantially, it becomes a new loan, with the difference recognised as a de-
recognition gain or loss, to the extent that an impairment loss has not already been recorded.
De-recognition of financial assets other than due to substantial modification - Financial assets (or where
applicable, a part of financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) are de-recognised (i.e.
removed from the Company’s Balance Sheet) when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the
financial asset have expired, or when substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. The Company
also de-recognises the financial asset if it has transferred the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for de-
recognition.
4. Classification and subsequent measurement of financial liabilities:
Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the EIR method, except for financial
liabilities held for trading or designated at FVTPL, that are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or
losses recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss.
5. De-recognition of financial liabilities:
A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different
terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is
treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the
respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.

6. Investment in subsidiaries:
Investment in subsidiaries is recognised at cost and are not adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting
period. Cost of investment represents amount paid for acquisition of the said investment.
The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period, if there are any indications that the said investment
may be impaired. If so, the Company estimates the recoverable value/amount of the investment and provides
for impairment, if any i.e. the deficit in the recoverable value over cost.
c. Impairment of financial assets
1. Loan assets:
The Company follows a "three-stage" model for impairment based on changes in credit quality since initial
recognition as summarised below:
i) Stage 1 includes loan assets that have not had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition
or that have low credit risk at the reporting date.
ii) Stage 2 includes loan assets that have had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition
but that do not have objective evidence of impairment. Loans restructured as per RBI circular are
categorised under Stage 2.
iii) Stage 3 includes loan assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.
The ECL is measured at 12-month ECL for Stage 1 loan assets and at lifetime ECL for Stage 2 and
Stage 3 loan assets. ECL is the product of the probability of default, exposure at default and loss given
default, defined as follows:
Probability of default ("PD") - The PD represents the likelihood of a borrower defaulting on its financial
obligation, either over the next 12 months (12 months PD), or over the remaining lifetime (Lifetime PD)
of the obligation.
Loss given default ("LGD") - LGD represents the Company’s expectation of the extent of loss on a
defaulted exposure. LGD varies by type of counterparty, type and preference of claim and availability of
collateral or other credit support.
Exposure at Default ("EAD") - EAD is based on the amount of outstanding exposure as on the
assessment date on which ECL is computed including amount guaranteed by way of letter of credit.
Forward-looking economic information is included in determining the 12-month and lifetime PD, EAD
and LGD. The assumptions underlying the expected credit loss are monitored and reviewed on an
ongoing basis.
2. Other financial assets:
In respect of its other financial assets, the Company assesses if the credit risk on those financial assets
has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk has not increased significantly since
initial recognition, the Company measures the impairment loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month
expected credit losses, else at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.
When making this assessment, the Company uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the
expected life of the financial asset. To make that assessment, the Company compares the risk of a default
occurring on the financial asset as at the Balance Sheet date with the risk of a default occurring on the
financial asset as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable information,
that is available without undue cost or effort, that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial
recognition. The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly
since initial recognition if the financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the Balance Sheet date.
Write-offs:
The Company writes off financial assets basis the following parameters along with requisite internal approvals:
a. For business loans which are secured by hypothecation of current assets of and/or unsecured loans and remain
overdue for more than 180 days;
b. For business loans which are secured by property and/ or any other collateral and remain overdue for more than
455 days.
In exceptional circumstances, the write off can be prior to the above specified period but post requisite internal
approvals only.

d. Property, plant and equipment ("PPE")


1. Recognition and initial measurement:
PPE are initially recognised at acquisition cost or construction cost, including any costs directly attributable
to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner
intended by the Company’s management. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount
or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits
associated with the item will flow to the Company beyond one year. Maintenance or servicing costs of PPE
are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are
accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Any gain or loss on
disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss.
2. Subsequent expenditure:
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with
the expenditure will flow to the Company.
3. Depreciation:
Depreciation is calculated on cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual
values over their estimated useful lives using the written down value method, and is generally recognised in
the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company follows estimated useful lives which are given under Part C of the Schedule II of the Companies
Act, 2013. The estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment for the current and comparative
periods are as follows:

Asset category Estimated Useful Life


Leasehold Improvements 3 Years
Furniture and Fixtures 10 Years
Vehicles 5 Years
Office Equipments 5 Years
Computer 3 Years
Server 6 Years
Depreciation on additions to assets or on sale/disposal on assets is calculated pro-rata from the date of such
additions or upto the date of such sale/disposal as the case may be. All fixed assets individually costing
` 5,000 or less are fully depreciated in the year of installation/purchase.
The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed at the end of each financial year.
PPE are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable.
4. De-recognition:
An item of PPE and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of an item
of PPE is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the
asset and is de-recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
e. Capital work-in-progress
The cost of PPE under construction at the reporting date is disclosed as "Capital work-in-progress". The cost
comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if capitalisation criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing
the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at
the purchase price.

f. Intangible asset
Intangible assets including those acquired by the Company are initially measured at cost. Such intangible assets
are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific
asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands,
is recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss as incurred.
Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values over their
estimated useful lives using the written down value method, and is included in depreciation and amortisation in
Statement of Profit and Loss.

Asset category Estimated Useful Life


Software 5 Years
Amortisation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted
if appropriate.
g. Employee benefits
1. Short-term employee benefits:
Short-term employee benefits including salaries, profit sharing and bonuses payable within twelve months
after the end of the period in which the employees render the related services and non-monetary benefits for
current employees are estimated and measured on an undiscounted basis.
2. Post-employment benefit plans are classified into defined benefits plans and defined contribution
plans as under:
Defined contribution plan:
The Company's contribution to provident fund are considered as a defined contribution plan and are charged
as an expense as they fall due based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when the
services are rendered by the employees.
Defined benefit plans:
Gratuity:
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company's
net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the
amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected
unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognised asset
is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan
or reductions in future contributions to the plan ("the asset ceiling"),if any. In order to calculate the present
value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements. The Company has
unfunded defined benefit plans as gratuity for all eligible employees.
Re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and the
effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised in OCI. The Company determines the net
interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount
rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then net
defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset)
during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses
related to defined benefit plans are recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss. When the benefits of a plan are
changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service ("past service
cost" or "past service gain") or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in the Statement of
Profit or Loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when
the settlement occurs.

h. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets


Provisions:
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past
events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the effect of the time value
of money is material, the Company determines the level of provision by discounting the expected cash flows at a
pre- tax rate reflecting the current rates specific to the liability. The expense relating to any provision is presented
in the Statement of Profit or Loss net of any reimbursement.
Contingent liability:
A possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence
or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or present
obligation that arises from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient
reliability are disclosed as contingent liability and not provided for.
Contingent liability is disclosed for:
• Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company;
or
• Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made. In those
cases, where the outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligations is considered improbable
or remote, no liability is recognized or disclosure is made.
Any reimbursement that the Company can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the
obligation (such as from insurance) is recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed
the amount of the related provision.
Contingent asset:
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only
by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the
Company.
Contingent assets are not recognised. However, when inflow of economic benefits is probable, the related asset is
disclosed.
i. Leases:
The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for buildings. The Company assesses whether a
contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the
right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a
contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: i) the contract
involves the use of an identified asset, ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of
the asset through the period of the lease and, iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a
corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of
twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the
Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the
lease.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability
adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct
costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses.

Standalone notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023

Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the
lease term and useful life of the underlying asset.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The
lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the
incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have
been classified as financing cash flows.
The discounting rate used to compute right to use assets and lease liabilities is the incremental borrowing rate of
Company.
The aggregate depreciation expense on ROU assets is included under depreciation and amortization expense in
the Statement of Profit and Loss.
COVID 19 rent adjustment has been adjusted in "Rent, taxes and energy cost" in Statement of Profit & Loss in
accordance with amendment to Ind AS 116, Leases.
j. Income Tax
Tax expense recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax. It is
recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, except when it relates to an item that is recognised in OCI or directly
in equity, in which case, tax is also recognised in OCI or directly in equity.
1. Current Tax:
Current tax is determined as the tax payable in respect of taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted
or substantively enacted and as applicable at the reporting date, and any adjustments to tax payable in
respect of previous years.
2. Deferred Tax:
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in
the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable income.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply
to their respective period of realisation, provided those rates are enacted or substantively enacted by the end
of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to
offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority.
A deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences. A deferred tax asset is recognised
for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed
at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit
will be realized.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax income or expense in
Statement of Profit or Loss, except where they relate to items that are recognised in OCI or directly in equity,
in which case the related deferred tax is also recognised in OCI or equity, respectively.
k. Borrowing Cost
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowings of funds. Borrowing costs
directly attributable to acquisition or construction of an asset which necessarily take a substantial period of time
to get ready for their intended use are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. Other borrowings costs are
recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on an accrual basis using the EIR method.
l. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other short term, highly
liquid investments (original maturity less than 3 months) that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash
and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

m. Segment reporting- Identification of segments


An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn
revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Management. The Company
has only one reportable business segment, i.e. lending to borrowers, which have similar nature of products and
services, type/class of customers and the nature of the regulatory environment (which is financing).
n. Earnings per share
The Company reports basic and diluted earnings per equity share in accordance with Ind AS 33 (Earnings per
share). Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing net profit / loss after tax attributable to the equity
share holders for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted
earnings per equity share is computed and disclosed by dividing the net profit/ loss after tax attributable to the
equity share holders for the year after giving impact of dilutive potential equity shares for the year by the weighted
average number of equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year, except where
the results are anti-dilutive.
o. Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions
of a non–cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows
from regular revenue generating, financing and investing activities of the Company are segregated. Cash flows in
foreign currencies are accounted at the actual rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
The Statement of Cash Flows has been presented as per the requirements of Ind AS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows".
p. Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each reporting date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
• In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when
pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that
would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data
are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of
unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
• Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is directly or indirectly observable
• Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is unobservable.

Standalone notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company
determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based
on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting
period.
q. Share based payments - Employee Stock Option Scheme ("ESOP")
The fair value of options granted under Employee Stock Option Plan is recognised as an employee benefits
expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference
to the fair value of the options. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over
which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the Company revises
its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service
conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the Statement of Profit or Loss,
with a corresponding adjustment to equity. Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received are allocated to
share capital up to the par value of the shares issued with any excess being recorded as share premium.
ESOP's granted to employees of the wholly owned subsidiary are accounted as per Ind AS directives.
r. Commitments
Commitments are future liabilities for contractual obligations as of reporting date, classified and disclosed as
follows:
i. Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for;
ii. Uncalled liability on shares and other investments partly paid;
iii. Other non-cancellable commitments, if any, to the extent they are considered material and relevant in the
opinion of management.

Note 39: Employee Benefits


39.1 Defined contribution plan:
The Company makes a contribution, determined as a specified percentage of employees salaries, towards Employees’
Provident Fund (“PF”) and Employees’ State Insurance Scheme (“ESIS”) which are defined contribution plans, for
qualifying employees. The Company has no obligation other than to make specified contributions. The contributiuons
are charged to Statement of Profit & Loss as and when they accrue. The amount recognised towards PF contributions
for the year 2022-23 is ` 5.21 Cr. (for the year 2021-22 is ` 3.62 Cr.) and towards contribution to ESIS for the year 2022-
23 is ` 0.36 Cr. (for the year 2021-22 is ` 0.26 Cr.).
39.2 Defined benefit plan - Gratuity:
The Company operates a defined benefit plan covering eligible employees. The plan is governed under the Payment of
Gratuity Act, 1972. As per the Act, an employee who has completed five years of continued service is entitled to specific
benefit. The level of benefit depends on the member’s length of service and salary at retirement age/ resignation date.
The liability under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 is determined on the basis of an actuarial valuation made at the
end of each financial year using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
Valuation is performed on a certain basic set of predetermined assumptions and other regulatory frameworks which
may vary over time. Thus, the Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as
follows:
Interest rate risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk of downward movement in interest rates. A downturn
in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will in turn result in an
increase in the value of the liability (as shown in financial statements).
Liquidity risk: This is the risk that the Company will not able to meet its short-term gratuity payouts. This may arise
due to non-availabilty of cash/cash equivalents to meet the liabilities or the Company’s unability to dispose of its illiquid
assets in time or exit of employees with higher salary and/or long durations.
Adverse salary growth experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an
increase in obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Demographic risk: The Company has used a mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of its liability. This exposes
the Company to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse then assumed causing an increase in the obligation.
Regulatory risk: Gratuity benefit is paid in accordance with the requirements of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 (as
amended from time to time). There is a risk of change in regulations requiring higher gratuity payouts (e.g. Increase in
the maximum limit on gratuity of ` 20,00,000).

Note 42: Stock Options


The Company has institutionalised the Employee Stock Option Plan (“ESOP”) with an objective to all employees for their
association with the Company and its subsidiary, their performance, as well as to attract, retain and reward employees
to contribute towards the growth and profitability of the Company.
The Company views its ESOP as an instrument that would enable the employees to get a share (or cash, at the
discretion of the Board), in the value they created and will continue to create in the years to come.
The “APAC Employee Stock Option Plan 2018” (“ESOP 2018”) was approved in the Compnay’s First Annual General
Meeting (“AGM”) held on July 19, 2018. Stock options under this scheme were also granted to employees of its subidiary
to attract, reward, and retain them, as per the terms of this scheme. The Company uses fair value to account for the
compensation cost of stock options to employees in the financial statement.

Note 44: Operational Risk


Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and system or from
external events. Operational risk is associated with human error, system failures and inadequate procedures and
controls. It is the risk of loss arising from the potential that inadequate information system; technology failures, breaches
in internal controls, fraud, unforeseen catastrophes, or other operational problems may result in unexpected losses or
reputation problems.
Operational risk exists in all products and business activities. The Company cannot expect to eliminate all operational
risks, but it endeavours to manage these risks through a control framework and by monitoring and responding to
potential risks. Controls include effective segregation of duties, access, authorisation and reconciliation procedures,
staff education and assessment processes.

Note 45: Financial risk management


The Company’s activities exposes it to variety of financial risks, as listed below apart from various operating and
business risks:
a. Credit risk,
b. Liquidity risk and
c. Interest rate risk.
This note explains the sources of risk which the Company is exposed to and how it manages these risks.

A. Credit Risk: Credit risk is the possibility of loss resulting from diminution of borrower’s credit quality leading to failure
of borrowers to make repayment of their outstanding loan obligations, in full or in part.
The Company manages the credit risks by assessing each proposal using an approved product program under a Board
approved credit risk policy. These product programs are approved by the APAC Credit Committee which consists of
the Managing Director, Executive Director, Group General Counsel, Joint CEOs, an Independent Member, Smt. Varsha
Purandare (Ex-Chief Credit & Risk Officer and Dy MD, State Bank of India) and Senior Advisor and Independent
Member, Mr. Arijit Chanda, a highly experienced and respected retail finance professional and consultant. Approvals
by APAC Credit Committee needs to be unanimous. Portfolio reviews are carried out regularly by the Business, Risk
and Credit functions. Each product program caters to specific targeted customer segments and have been built around
the 5 C’s of prudent lending norms, i.e. Character, Capacity, Capital, Conditions and Collateral. The product programs
further define an approval matrix, credit & risk parameters, processes, customer selection criteria, deviation reporting
and loan caps among other things. The Company also relies on the Credit Bureaus for fraud checks and credit records
of each borrower.

The Company is deepening its use of technology and alternate data to improve the quality of its product programs and
credit approval processes.”

B. Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk of incurring losses resulting from the inability to meet payment obligations in
a timely manner when they become due or from being unable to do so at a sustainable cost.
The Company is required to comply with the Asset Liability Management (“”ALM””) guidelines/directions issued by RBI,
which places key emphasis on short term liquidity management.
The Company has an Asset Liability Management and Resource Planning Policy approved by the Board and has
constituted an Asset Liability Management and Resource Planning Committee (“”ALRPCO””) to oversee the liquidity risk
management function. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have
sufficient liquidity to meets its liabilities, as and when they become due, under both in normal and stressed conditions,
without incurring losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
The principal source of Company’s liquidity is borrowings, cash and cash equivalents and cash flow generated from
operations.
As at March 31, 2023, the Company believes that the cash and cash equivalents and undrawn term loan (“”TL””), cash
credit (“”CC””) and working capital; demand loan (“”WCDL””) are sufficient to meets its short term requirements and
does not foresee any liquidity stress. Below are the list of undrawn facilities that are available at Company’s disposal:

C. Interest Rate Risk: The interest rate risk primarily arises from borrowings at floating rate/variable rate. The Company’s
borrowing’s are carried at amortised cost. No interest rate risk arise on borrowings carried at fixed rate as defined in
Ind AS 107 since both the carrying amount and future cash flows will not fluctuate with change in market interest rate.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022-2023 114
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT On The Consolidated Financial Statements
To the Members of APAC Financial Services Private Limited
1. Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Financial statements of APAC Financial Services Private
Limited (‘Holding Company’) and its subsidiary APAC Housing Finance Private Limited (the Company and its
subsidiary together referred to as ‘the Group’), which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31,
2023, the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Statement of Change in Equity for the year then ended, and notes
to the Consolidated Financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “Consolidated Financial statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid
Consolidated Financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the
manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed
under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended,
(“Ind AS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the
Group as at March 31, 2023, and its consolidated profit (including other comprehensive income), consolidated
changes in equity and its consolidated cash flows for the year ended on that date.
2. Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the Consolidated Financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
(SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in
the Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial statements section of our report. We are
independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Consolidated Financial
statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit
evidence obtained by us along with the consideration of the financial statements/financial information referred to
in the “Other Matters” paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
Consolidated Financial statements.
3. Information Other than the Consolidated Financial statements and Auditor’s Report thereon
The Holding Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in Holding Company’s Annual report but does not include the
Consolidated IND AS Financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the Consolidated IND AS Financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Consolidated IND AS Financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
Consolidated Financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit, or otherwise appears
to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of
this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to state in this regard.
4. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Ind AS
Financial Statements
The Holding Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section
134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation and presentation of these Consolidated Financial statements that
give a true and fair view of the consolidated state of affairs and consolidated profit (including other comprehensive
income), consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with the Ind AS
and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. The respective Management and Board of Directors
of the companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in
accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the each company and for preventing
and detecting frauds and other irregularities; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;
making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and 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 Consolidated Financial statements
that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have
been used for the purpose of the preparation of the Consolidated Financial statements by the Management and
Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

APAC FINANCIAL
ANNUAL SERVICES
REPORT 2022-2023 115
In preparing the Consolidated Financial statements, Management and respective Board of Directors of the
Companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of each company to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless respective Management and Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to
cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial
reporting process of each company.
5. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for
expressing our opinion on whether the Holding Company and its subsidiary companies which is company
incorporated in India, has internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial statements and
the operating effectiveness of such controls based on our audit.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by Management and Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s and Board of Director’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 Group’s 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 Consolidated 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the Consolidated Financial statements represent the underlying transactions
and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Group to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial statements. We are responsible
for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included
in the Consolidated Financial statements of which we are independent auditors. For the other entities included
in the Consolidated Financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors
remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We
remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Consolidated Financial Statements that, individually or in
aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Consolidated
financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) Planning
the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) To evaluate the effect of any identified
misstatements in the Consolidated financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company regarding, 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 those charged with governance 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.

respective companies considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit
of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).
These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that

Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the
Act.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated financial
statement of the Holding Company and its subsidiary company, which is a company incorporated in India, based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial
Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by the ICAI and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under section 143(10) of
the Act to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated financial statement.
Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statement
was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls
with reference to Consolidated Financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial
with reference to Consolidated Financial statements includes obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls
with reference to financial statement, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on
the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion
on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting of the Holding Company and its subsidiary company, which
is a company incorporated in India.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statement
A company’s internal financial control with reference to Consolidated Financial statements is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control with reference
to Consolidated Financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Consolidated

APAC FINANCIAL
ANNUAL SERVICES
REPORT 2022-2023 119
Financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of
the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of
the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statement
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial statements,
including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or
fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to
Consolidated Financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference
to Consolidated Financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

adequate internal financial controls with reference to the consolidated financial statements and such internal financial
controls were operating effectively as at March 31, 2023, based on the internal financial controls with reference to
consolidated financial statements criteria established by such companies considering the essential components of such
internal controls stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the ‘Guidance Note’).

carry on the business of Non Banking Financial Service ("NBFC") without accepting public deposits from Reserve Bank
of India ("RBI") on February 21, 2018.
APAC Housing Finance Private Limited ("the subsidiary/APAC HFC") was incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013
(“the Act”) on May 01, 2017. The subsidiary received its Certificate of Registration ("CoR") to carry on the business of
Hosuing Finance Institution ("HFC") without accepting public deposits from National Housing Bank ("NHB") on May 3,
2018.
The parent Group is engaged in lending to individuals, micro and small enterprises in semi urban and rural areas while
the subsidiary is engaged in lending and advancing for purchase or erection of residential house or building and loan
against property.
Note 2: Basis of Preparation
a. Statement of Compliance
The Group has adopted Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) notified under Section 133 of the Act which confirms the generally accepted
accounting principles in India and other revelent provisions of the Act.
The Group has also complied with the guidelines issued by the RBI vide “Master Direction - Systemically Important
Non-Deposit Taking Group and Deposit Taking Group (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2016."
The consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the notified Schedule III of the Act, as amended from
time to time, for NBFC's that are required to comply with Ind AS.
The consolidated financial statements are approved by the Group's Board of Directors on May 05, 2023.
Details of the Group's accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3.
b. Historical cost convention
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis following accrual system
of accounting and are in accordance with the Ind AS. Further, the consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on historical cost basis except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities which are measured at
fair values as explained in relevant accounting policies.
c. Presentation of consolidated financial statements
The Balance Sheet, the Statement of Profit and Loss and Statement of Changes in Equity, are presented in the
format prescribed under Division III of Schedule III to the Act, as amended from time to time, as required for
NBFCs.
The Statement of Cash Flows has been presented as per the requirements of Ind AS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows".
The Group presents its balance sheet in order of liquidity. An analysis regarding recovery or settlement within
12 months from the reporting date (current) and more than 12 months after the reporting date (non–current) is
presented separately.
The consolidated financial statements comprise of consolidated financial statements of the parent company and its
subsidiary as at March 31, 2023. A Company consolidates a subsidiary when its control exists. Control is achieved
when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and can
affect those returns through its power over the investee. Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting
rights result in control. To support this presumption and when the Company has less than a majority of the voting
or similar rights of an investee, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether
it has power over an investee, including:
i. The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee,
ii. Rights arising from other contractual arrangements,
iii. The Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights and
iv. The size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of the holdings of the
other voting rights holders.

APAC FINANCIAL SERVICES PRIVATE LIMITED
CIN NO. U65999MH2017PTC294664
Consolidated notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023

The Company re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are
changes to one or more elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control
over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and
expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements
from the date the Company gains control until the date the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other
events in similar circumstances. If a member of the Company uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the
consolidated consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate
adjustments are made to that Company member’s consolidated financial statements in preparing the consolidated
financial statements to ensure conformity with the Company’s accounting policies.
The consolidated financial statements of all entities used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to the same
reporting date as that of the parent company, i.e., year ended on March 31.
d. Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (Rs.), which is the Group's functional
currency. All amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest thousands, unless otherwise indicated.
e. Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on historical cost basis except for the following items:
i. Financial assets and liabilities - Fair value/amortised cost, as applicable.
ii. Liability of ESOP - Fair value.
iii. Net defined benefit (asset)/ liability - Fair value of plan assets less present value of defined benefit obligations.
f. Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make
estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of
accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities as on date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the period. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex
and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these consolidated financial statements have been
disclosed in Note 3. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes
in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the consolidated financial
statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements.
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying
accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial
statements are included in the following notes:
1. Business Model Assessment:
The Group determines its business model at the level that best reflects how it manages groups of financial
assets to achieve its business objective. Based on this assessment and future business plans of the Group,
the management has measured its financial assets at amortised cost as the assets are held within a business
model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial asset
give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (the "SPPI criterion").
2. Impairment losses on financial assets:
The Group has adopted a portfolio approach to compute expected credit loss ("ECL") except for high value
loans more than Rs. 3 Crores.
3. Defined employee benefit assets and liabilities:
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan is the present value of the gratuity obligation as determined using
actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual

Consolidated notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023

developments in the future; these include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and
mortality rate. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit
obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at the end of
each reporting date.
4. Share-based payments:
Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate
valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires
determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share
option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. Due to the complexities involved
in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these
assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at the end of each reporting date.
5. Effective Interest rate ("EIR") method:
The Group’s EIR methodology recognises interest income using a rate of return that represents the best
estimate of a constant rate of return over the expected behavioural life of loans and recognises the effect of
potentially different interest rates charged at various stages and other characteristics of the product life cycle
(including prepayments, penalty interest and charges). This estimation, by nature, requires an element of
judgement regarding the expected behaviour and life-cycle of the instruments, as well expected changes to
the Group’s base rate and other fee income/expense that are integral parts of the instrument.
The Group has apportioned the processing fee received and variable operating expenses over 4 to 7 years
as per the product category.
6. Income Tax:
The Group’s tax jurisdiction is in India. Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for
income tax, including the amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions.
Note 3: Significant accounting policies
a. Revenue recognition
1. Interest Income
For all financial assets measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest
rate (EIR) i.e. the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial
asset to the net carrying amount of the financial assets.
The EIR (and therefore, the amortised cost of the asset) is calculated by taking into account any fees and
costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The Group recognises interest income using a rate of return that
represents the best estimate of a constant rate of return over the expected life of the financial instrument.
Interest on financial assets subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss, is recognised on
accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the respective contract.
Income on assets classified as non-performing assets (Stage 3) is recognised on cash basis, in accordance
with the guidelines issued by the RBI for NBFCs. Unrealised interest recognised as income is reversed in the
month in which the asset is classified as a non-performing asset ("NPA").
2. Fee Income
Fees/charges on loan assets, other than those considered an adjustment to EIR, are accounted for on accrual
basis.
Processing fees in respect of loans given is recognised on disbursement as per the terms of the contract.
Other charges such as cheque bounce charges, late payment charges, SOA charges etc. are recognised
when there is no significant uncertainty as to determination and realisation.
3. Investment Income
Interest income on fixed deposits with banks are recognised on accrual basis. Income on investments in
NCD/CP is calculated on EIR basis.

4. Net gain on fair value changes


Financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") or fair value through
other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), as applicable. The Group recognises gains/losses on fair value
change of financial assets measured as FVTPL and realised gains/losses on derecognition of financial asset
measured at fair value.
b. Financial instrument
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset in one entity and a financial liability or an
equity instrument in another entity.
1. Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual
provision of the financial instrument and are measured initially at fair value adjusted for transactions costs,
if any, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss which are measured initially at fair value.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities is described below.
2. Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets:
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into the following categories
upon initial recognition:
a) Amortised cost
b) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
c) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
All financial assets except for those at FVTPL or equity instruments at FVOCI are subject to review for
impairment at least at each reporting date to identify whether there is any objective evidence that a financial
asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each
category of financial assets, which are described below.
Amortised cost:
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost using EIR if both of the below conditions are met:
a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to
collect contractual cash flows; and
b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest ("SPPI") on the principal amount outstanding. The Group’s loans and
advances, security deposits, investment, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables fall in
this category.
An impairment loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognised on financial assets carried at amortised
cost.
Modification of cash flows when the contractual cash flows of a financial asset are renegotiated or otherwise
modified and the renegotiation or modification does not result in derecognition of that financial asset. The
Group re-calculates the gross carrying amount of the financial asset and recognises a modification gain or
loss in Statement of Profit or Loss. The gross carrying amount of the financial asset is recalculated as the
present value of the renegotiated or modified contractual cash flows that are discounted at the financial
asset’s original EIR. Any costs or fees incurred adjust the carrying amount of the modified financial asset and
are amortised over the remaining term of the modified financial asset.
Financial assets at FVTPL:
Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets that either do not meet the criteria for amortised cost
classification or are equity instruments held for trading or that meet certain conditions and are designated
at FVTPL upon initial recognition. Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses
recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined
by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.

Consolidated notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023

The Group’s investments into mutual funds are used for short-term cash flow management and have been
classified under this category.
Financial assets at FVOCI:
FVOCI financial assets comprise of equity instruments measured at fair value. Gains and losses are
recognised in Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI") and reported within the FVOCI reserve in Statment of
Equity, except for dividend income, which is recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss.
3. De-recognition of financial assets:
De-recognition of financial assets due to substantial modification of terms and conditions - The Group de-
recognises a financial asset, such as a loan to a customer, when the terms and conditions have been re-
negotiated to the extent that, substantially, it becomes a new loan, with the difference recognised as a de-
recognition gain or loss, to the extent that an impairment loss has not already been recorded.
De-recognition of financial assets other than due to substantial modification - Financial assets (or where
applicable, a part of financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) are de-recognised (i.e.
removed from the Group’s Balance Sheet) when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the
financial asset have expired, or when substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. The Group also
de-recognises the financial asset if it has transferred the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for de-
recognition.
4. Classification and subsequent measurement of financial liabilities:
Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the EIR method, except for financial
liabilities held for trading or designated at FVTPL, that are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or
losses recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss.
5. De-recognition of financial liabilities:
A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different
terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is
treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the
respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.
c. Impairment of financial assets
1. Loan assets:
The Group follows a "three-stage" model for impairment based on changes in credit quality since initial
recognition as summarised below:
i) Stage 1 includes loan assets that have not had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition
or that have low credit risk at the reporting date.
ii) Stage 2 includes loan assets that have had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition
but that do not have objective evidence of impairment. Loans restructured as per RBI circular are
categorised under Stage 2.
iii) Stage 3 includes loan assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.
The ECL is measured at 12-month ECL for Stage 1 loan assets and at lifetime ECL for Stage 2 and
Stage 3 loan assets. ECL is the product of the probability of default, exposure at default and loss given
default, defined as follows:
Probability of default ("PD") - The PD represents the likelihood of a borrower defaulting on its financial
obligation, either over the next 12 months (12 months PD), or over the remaining lifetime (Lifetime PD)
of the obligation.
Loss given default ("LGD") - LGD represents the Group’s expectation of the extent of loss on a defaulted
exposure. LGD varies by type of counterparty, type and preference of claim and availability of collateral
or other credit support.

APAC FINANCIAL SERVICES PRIVATE LIMITED
CIN NO. U65999MH2017PTC294664
Consolidated notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023

Exposure at Default ("EAD") - EAD is based on the amount of outstanding exposure as on the
assessment date on which ECL is computed including amount guaranteed by way of letter of credit.
Forward-looking economic information is included in determining the 12-month and lifetime PD, EAD
and LGD. The assumptions underlying the expected credit loss are monitored and reviewed on an
ongoing basis.
2. Other financial assets:
In respect of its other financial assets, the Group assesses if the credit risk on those financial assets has
increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial
recognition, the Group measures the impairment loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month expected
credit losses, else at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.
When making this assessment, the Group uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected
life of the financial asset. To make that assessment, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the
financial asset as at the Balance Sheet date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial asset as at
the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable information, that is available without
undue cost or effort, that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition. The Group
assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the
financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the Balance Sheet date.
Write-offs:
The Group writes off financial assets basis the following parameters along with requisite internal approvals:
a. For business loans which are secured by hypothecation of current assets of and/or unsecured loans and
remain overdue for more than 180 days;
b. For business loans which are secured by property and/ or any other collateral and remain overdue for
more than 455 days.
In exceptional circumstances, the write off can be prior to the above specified period but post requisite
internal approvals only.
d. Property, plant and equipment ("PPE")
1. Recognition and initial measurement:
PPE are initially recognised at acquisition cost or construction cost, including any costs directly attributable
to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner
intended by the Group’s management. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or
recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits
associated with the item will flow to the Group beyond one year. Maintenance or servicing costs of PPE are
recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are
accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Any gain or loss on
disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss.
2. Subsequent expenditure:
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with
the expenditure will flow to the Group.
3. Depreciation:
Depreciation is calculated on cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual
values over their estimated useful lives using the written down value method, and is generally recognised in
the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Group follows estimated useful lives which are given under Part C of the Schedule II of the Companies
Act,2013. The estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment for the current and comparative
periods are as follows:

Asset category Estimated Useful Life


Leasehold Improvements 3 Years
Furniture and Fixtures 10 Years
Vehicles 5 Years
Office Equipments 5 Years
Computer 3 Years
Server 6 Years
Depreciation on additions to assets or on sale/disposal on assets is calculated pro-rata from the date of such
additions or upto the date of such sale/disposal as the case may be. All fixed assets individually costing Rs.
5,000 or less are fully depreciated in the year of installation/purchase.
The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed at the end of each financial year.
PPE are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable.
4. De-recognition:
An item of PPE and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of an item
of PPE is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the
asset and is de-recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
e. Capital work-in-progress
The cost of PPE under construction at the reporting date is disclosed as "Capital work-inprogress". The cost
comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if capitalisation criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing
the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at
the purchase price. Advances paid for the acquisition/construction of PPE which are outstanding at the Balance
Sheet date are classified under "Capital Advances."
f. Intangible asset
Intangible assets including those acquired by the Group are initially measured at cost. Such intangible assets are
subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific
asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands,
is recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss as incurred.
Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values over their
estimated useful lives using the written down value method, and is included in depreciation and amortisation in
Statement of Profit and Loss.
Asset category Estimated Useful Life
Software 5 Years
Amortisation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted
if appropriate.
g. Employee benefits
1. Short-term employee benefits:
Short-term employee benefits including salaries, profit sharing and bonuses payable within twelve months
after the end of the period in which the employees render the related services and non-monetary benefits for
current employees are estimated and measured on an undiscounted basis.
2. Post-employment benefit plans are classified into defined benefits plans and defined contribution
plans as under:

APAC FINANCIAL SERVICES PRIVATE LIMITED
CIN NO. U65999MH2017PTC294664
Consolidated notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023

Defined contribution plan:


The Group's contribution to provident fund are considered as a defined contribution plan and are charged
as an expense as they fall due based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when the
services are rendered by the employees.
Defined benefit plans:
Gratuity:
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The
Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by
estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the
projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the
recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future
refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan ("the asset ceiling"),if any. In order
to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding
requirements. The Group has unfunded defined benefit plans as gratuity for all eligible employees.
Re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and the
effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised in OCI. The Group determines the
net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the
discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to
the then net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit
liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense
and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that
relates to past service ("past service cost" or "past service gain") or the gain or loss on curtailment is
recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit or Loss. The Group recognises gains and losses on
the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
h. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions:
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past
events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the effect of the time value
of money is material, the Group determines the level of provision by discounting the expected cash flows at a pre-
tax rate reflecting the current rates specific to the liability. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the
Statement of Profit or Loss net of any reimbursement.
Contingent liability:
A possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group
or present obligation that arises from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with
sufficient reliability are disclosed as contingent liability and not provided for.
Contingent liability is disclosed for:
• Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Group; or
• Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made. In those
cases, where the outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligations is considered improbable
or remote, no liability is recognized or disclosure is made.

Consolidated notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023

Any reimbursement that the Group can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation
(such as from insurance) is recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of
the related provision.
Contingent asset:
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by
the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group.
Contingent assets are not recognised. However, when inflow of economic benefits is probable, the related asset is
disclosed.
i. Leases:
The Group’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for buildings. The Group assesses whether a contract
contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right
to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a
contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether: i) the contract
involves the use of an identified asset, ii) the Group has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the
asset through the period of the lease and, iii) the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding
lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or
less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Group recognises
the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability
adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct
costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the
lease term and useful life of the underlying asset.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The
lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the
incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have
been classified as financing cash flows.
The discounting rate used to compute right of use assets and lease liabilities is the incremental borrowing rate of
the Group.
j. Income Tax
Tax expense recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax. It is
recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, except when it relates to an item that is recognised in OCI or directly
in equity, in which case, tax is also recognised in OCI or directly in equity.
1. Current Tax:
Current tax is determined as the tax payable in respect of taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted
or substantively enacted and as applicable at the reporting date, and any adjustments to tax payable in
respect of previous years.
2. Deferred Tax:
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable
income.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply
to their respective period of realisation, provided those rates are enacted or substantively enacted by the end
of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to
offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority.

APAC FINANCIAL SERVICES PRIVATE LIMITED
CIN NO. U65999MH2017PTC294664
Consolidated notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023

A deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences. A deferred tax asset is recognised
for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed
at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit
will be realized.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax income or expense in
Statement of Profit or Loss, except where they relate to items that are recognised in OCI or directly in equity,
in which case the related deferred tax is also recognised in OCI or equity, respectively.
k. Borrowing Cost
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowings of funds. Borrowing costs
directly attributable to acquisition or construction of an asset which necessarily take a substantial period of time
to get ready for their intended use are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. Other borrowings costs are
recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on an accrual basis using the EIR mothod.
l. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other short term, highly
liquid investments (original maturity less than 3 months) that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash
and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
m. Segment reporting- Identification of segments
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn
revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Management. The Group
has only one reportable business segment, i.e. lending to borrowers, which have similar nature of products and
services, type/class of customers and the nature of the regulatory environment (which is financing).
n. Earnings per share
The Group reports basic and diluted earnings per equity share in accordance with Ind AS 33 (Earnings per share).
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing net profit / loss after tax attributable to the equity share
holders for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings
per equity share is computed and disclosed by dividing the net profit/ loss after tax attributable to the equity share
holders for the year after giving impact of dilutive potential equity shares for the year by the weighted average
number of equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year, except where the results
are anti-dilutive.
o. Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions
of a non–cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows
from regular revenue generating, financing and investing activities of the Group are segregated. Cash flows in
foreign currencies are accounted at the actual rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
The Statement of Cash Flows has been presented as per the requirements of Ind AS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows".
p. Fair value measurement
The Group measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each reporting date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
• In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.

APAC FINANCIAL SERVICES PRIVATE LIMITED
CIN NO. U65999MH2017PTC294664
Consolidated notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when
pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that
would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data
are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of
unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are
categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant
to the fair value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
• Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is directly or indirectly observable
• Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, the
Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation
(based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each
reporting period.
q. Share based payments - Employee Stock Option Scheme ("ESOP")
The fair value of options granted under Employee Stock Option Plan is recognised as an employee benefits
expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference
to the fair value of the options. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over
which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the Group revises
its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service
conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in Statement of Profit or Loss, with a
corresponding adjustment to equity. Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received are allocated to share
capital up to the par value of the shares issued with any excess being recorded as share premium.
ESOP's granted to employees of the wholly owned subsidiary are accounted as per Ind AS directives.
r. Commitments
Commitments are future liabilities for contractual obligations as of reporting date, classified and disclosed as
follows:
i. Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for;
ii. Uncalled liability on shares and other investments partly paid;
iii. Other non-cancellable commitments, if any, to the extent they are considered material and relevant in the
opinion of management.

41B. Defined benefit plan - Gratuity:


“The Company operates a defined benefit plan covering eligible employees. The plan is governed under the Payment of
Gratuity Act, 1972. As per the Act, an employee who has completed five years of continued service is entitled to specific
benefit. The level of benefit depends on the member’s length of service and salary at retirement age/ resignation date.
The liability under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 is determined on the basis of an actuarial valuation made at the
end of each financial year using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
Valuation is performed on a certain basic set of predetermined assumptions and other regulatory frameworks which
may vary over time. Thus, the Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as
follows:”
Interest rate risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk of downward movement in interest rates. A downturn
in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will in turn result in an
increase in the value of the liability (as shown in financial statements).
Liquidity risk: This is the risk that the Company will not able to meet its short-term gratuity payouts. This may arise
due to non-availabilty of cash/cash equivalents to meet the liabilities or the Company’s unability to dispose of its illiquid
assets in time or exit of employees with higher salary and/or long durations.
Adverse salary growth experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an
increase in obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Demographic risk: The Company has used a mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of its liability. This exposes
the Company to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse then assumed causing an increase in the obligation.
Regulatory risk: Gratuity benefit is paid in accordance with the requirements of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 (as
amended from time to time). There is a risk of change in regulations requiring higher gratuity payouts (e.g. Increase in
the maximum limit on gratuity of ` 20,00,000).

Note 44: Stock Options


The Group has institutionalised the Employee Stock Option Plan (“”ESOP””) with an objective to reward employees for
their association with the Group and its subsidiary, their performance, as well as to attract, retain and reward employees
to contribute towards the growth and profitability of the Group.
The Group views its ESOP as an instrument that would enable the employees to get a share (or cash, at the discretion
of the Board), in the value they created and will continue to create in the years to come.
The “APAC Employee Stock Option Plan 2018” (“ESOP 2018”) was approved in the Company’s First Annual General
Meeting (“AGM”) held on July 19, 2018. Stock options under this scheme were also granted to employees of its subidiary
to attract, reward, and retain them, as per the terms of this scheme. The Company uses fair value to account for the
compensation cost of stock options to employees in the financial statement.
A. Summary of the ESOP Scheme:
The position of the existing schemes is summarised as under:
S.No. Particulars APAC Employee Stock Option Plan 2018

Note 45: Capital Management


The primary objectives of the Group’s capital management policy is to ensure that the Group has adequate funds
to support its growth plans, ensure compliance with externally imposed capital requirements (including regulatory
requirements), maintaining strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it according to changes in economic conditions and
the risk characteristics of its activities. No changes have been made to the objectives, policies and processes from the
previous year, however, they are constantly reviewed by the Board.
Debt to Net Worth ratio:
The Group monitors its capital using debt to net worth ratio (also known as leverage ratio).
Net worth for this purpose is computed as shareholders funds’ less intangible asset less deferred tax asset less
unrealised gain on financial instruments less prepaid expenses.

Capital adequacy ratio (“CRAR”):
The Group is required to comply with the capital adequacy requirements stipulated by RBI from time to time. RBI has
set a floor of 15% to be maintained by all NBFCs as their capital adequacy ratio.
This ratio is computed by dividing the Group’s Tier I & Tier II capital with risk weighted assets. Tier I capital comprises of
the Group’s net owned funds while Tier II capital comprises of the provision on standard asset (Stage 1). Risk weighted
assets represents the weighted sum of the Group’s credit exposure On & Off balance sheet.

Note 46: Operational Risk


Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and system or from external
events. Operational risk is associated with human error, system failures and inadequate procedures and controls. It is the
risk of loss arising from the potential that inadequate information system; technology failures, breaches in internal controls,
fraud, unforeseen catastrophes, or other operational problems may result in unexpected losses or reputation problems.
Operational risk exists in all products and business activities. The Group cannot expect to eliminate all operational
risks, but it endeavours to manage these risks through a control framework and by monitoring and responding to
potential risks.Controls include effective segregation of duties, access, authorisation and reconciliation procedures, staff
education and assessment processes.

Note 47: Financial risk management


The Company’s activities exposes it to variety of financial risks, as listed below apart from various operating and
business risks:
a. Credit risk,
b. Liquidity risk and
c. Interest rate risk.
This note explains the sources of risk which the Company is exposed to and how it manages these risks.

A. Credit Risk: Credit risk is the possibility of loss resulting from diminution of borrower’s credit quality leading to failure
of borrowers to make repayment of their outstanding loan obligations, in full or in part.
The Group manages the credit risks by assessing each proposal using an approved product program under a Board
approved credit risk policy. These product programs are approved by the APAC Credit Committee which consists of the
Managing Director, Executive Director, Group General Counsel, Joint CEOs, an Independent Member, Smt. Varsha
Purandare (Ex-Chief Credit & Risk Officer and Dy MD, State Bank of India) and Senior Advisor and Independent Member,
Mr. Arijit Chanda, a highly experienced and respected retail finance professional and consultant. Approvals by APAC
Credit Committee needs to be unanimous. Portfolio reviews are carried out regularly by the Business, Risk and Credit
functions. Each product program caters to specific targeted customer segments and have been built around the 5 C’s of
prudent lending norms, i.e. Character, Capacity, Capital, Conditions and Collateral. The product programs further define
an approval matrix, credit & risk parameters, processes, customer selection criteria, deviation reporting and loan caps
among other things. The Group also relies on the Credit Bureaus for fraud checks and credit records of each borrower.
The Group is deepening its use of technology and alternate data to improve the quality of its product programs and
credit approval processes.

B. Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk of incurring losses resulting from the inability to meet payment obligations in
a timely manner when they become due or from being unable to do so at a sustainable cost.
The Group is required to comply with the Asset Liability Management (“”ALM””) guidelines/directions issued by RBI,
which places key emphasis on short term liquidity management.
The Group has an Asset Liability Management and Resource Planning Policy approved by the Board and has
constituted an Asset Liability Management and Resource Planning Committee (“”ALRPCO””) to oversee the liquidity
risk management function. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have
sufficient liquidity to meets its liabilities, as and when they become due, under both in normal and stressed conditions,
without incurring losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The principal source of Group’s liquidity is borrowings, cash and cash equivalents and cash flow generated from
operations.
As at March 31, 2023, the Group believes that the cash and cash equivalents and undrawn term loan (“”TL””), cash
credit (“”CC””) and working capital; demand loan (“”WCDL””) are sufficient to meets its short term requirements and
does not foresee any liquidity stress. Below are the list of undrawn facilities that are available at Group’s disposal:

C. Interest Rate Risk: The interest rate risk primarily arises from borrowings at floating rate/variable rate. The Group’s
borrowings are carried at amortised cost. No interest rate risk arise on borrowings carried at fixed rate as defined in
Ind AS 107 since both the carrying amount and future cash flows will not fluctuate with change in market interest rate.
“During FY23, Company received rating upgrades from both ICRA and Acuite on the back of superior operating
performance, without any large equity infusion. Our credit ratings currently are [ICRA] A- (Stable) and ACUITE A (Stable).
Notably, even though RBI hiked rates by 250 bps during FY23, Company’s cost of funds reduced by approx. 55-60 bps
as compared to FY22. Due to rising interest rates, Company increased its Prime Lending Rate (PLR) by 50 bps in Q4
FY23.”
