    rdXXIII Annual Report 2017-18

    Religare Finvest Limited

    rdXXIII Annual Report 2017-18

    Many NBFCs started focusing on the wholesale segment about five years ago. While NBFCs would continue to do well in their traditional stronghold of retail finance, they are seen growing fastest in the wholesale finance segment, which would provide a kicker to their overall credit growth. Owing to the RERA implementation and the rising demand for mid-corporate promoter financing, the opportunity in realty and the structured credit space has gone up materially. The report also stated that the home loans will grow at 18 per cent over the next three fiscals on a sharper focus by the housing finance companies on the self-employed borrowers and lower ticket size segments.

    India’s gross domestic savings (GDS) as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has remained above 30 per cent since 2004. It is projected that national savings in India will reach US$ 1,272 billion by 2019. Over 95 per cent of household savings in India are invested in bank deposits and only 5 per cent in other financial asset classes.

    The micro and small enterprises will be the key growth drivers for banks and NBFCs in the coming years as the segment is highly under-served and has managed to maintain its creditworthiness. The MSME credit demand still remains hugely unmet and the NBFCs share in MSME financing will continue to grow but the competitive intensity will rise owing to the entry of the small finance banks.

    According to a report published by BCG, NBFCs are becoming the go-to lenders for youngsters in India. Of the total loans given by financial institutions in India to persons aged between 21 and 35 years, NBFCs had the maximum market share of 49%. NBFCs, with their focus on lower ticket and early credit lifestage products, have gained close to 50% share of loans in the youth segment.

    On the asset quality front, which has been one of the most worrying factors for the banking system, it said the share of dud assets have been stable so far on a better understanding of customers, product innovation and differentiated value proposition for NBFCs. But the NBFCs will have to balance the risk-reward ratio as increasing competition puts pressure on yields.

    The Government of India has introduced several reforms to liberalise, regulate and enhance this industry. The Government and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have taken various measures to facilitate easy access to finance for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). These measures include launching Credit Guarantee Fund Scheme for Micro and Small Enterprises, issuing guideline to banks regarding collateral requirements and setting up a Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency (MUDRA). With a combined push by both government and private sector, India is undoubtedly one of the world's most vibrant capital markets. In 2017,a new portal named 'Udyami Mitra' has been launched by the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) with the aim of improving credit availability to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises' (MSMEs) in the country. India has scored a perfect 10 in protecting shareholders' rights on the back of reforms implemented by Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

    India has a diversified financial sector undergoing rapid expansion, both in terms of strong growth of existing financial services firms and new entities entering the market. The sector comprises commercial banks, insurance companies, non-banking financial companies, co-operatives, pension funds, mutual funds and other smaller financial entities. The banking regulator has allowed new entities such as payments banks to be created recently thereby adding to the types of entities operating in the sector. However, the financial sector in India is predominantly a banking sector with commercial banks accounting for more than 64 per cent of the total assets held by the financial system.

    The share of non-banking financiers in the overall loan market will go up to 19 per cent by the fiscal 2020 from 16 per cent last fiscal year, primarily because of a strong play in the wholesale segment and this will be possible on the back of an 18 per cent annual growth in non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) loan books over the next three years, as per a CRISIL report. The NBFCs will be able to increase their share in the overall pie despite increasingly aggressive play by private sector banks in the retail segment, and also a possible toughening of stance from the state-run ones after the recently announced capital infusion.

    The growth of fin-techs can be viewed as an opportunity for collaboration for NBFCs as it can aid in better quality and lower cost of origination, stronger underwriting norms, more focused identification of customers, and expansion of the target market segment.

    Many NBFCs started focusing on the wholesale segment about five years ago. While NBFCs would continue to do well in their traditional stronghold of retail finance, they are seen growing fastest in the wholesale finance segment, which would provide a kicker to their overall credit growth. Owing to the RERA implementation and the rising demand for mid-corporate promoter financing, the opportunity in realty and the structured credit space has gone up materially. The report also stated that the home loans will grow at 18 per cent over the next three fiscals on a sharper focus by the housing finance companies on the self-employed borrowers and lower ticket size segments.

    India’s gross domestic savings (GDS) as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has remained above 30 per cent since 2004. It is projected that national savings in India will reach US$ 1,272 billion by 2019. Over 95 per cent of household savings in India are invested in bank deposits and only 5 per cent in other financial asset classes.

    The micro and small enterprises will be the key growth drivers for banks and NBFCs in the coming years as the segment is highly under-served and has managed to maintain its creditworthiness. The MSME credit demand still remains hugely unmet and the NBFCs share in MSME financing will continue to grow but the competitive intensity will rise owing to the entry of the small finance banks.

    According to a report published by BCG, NBFCs are becoming the go-to lenders for youngsters in India. Of the total loans given by financial institutions in India to persons aged between 21 and 35 years, NBFCs had the maximum market share of 49%. NBFCs, with their focus on lower ticket and early credit lifestage products, have gained close to 50% share of loans in the youth segment.

    On the asset quality front, which has been one of the most worrying factors for the banking system, it said the share of dud assets have been stable so far on a better understanding of customers, product innovation and differentiated value proposition for NBFCs. But the NBFCs will have to balance the risk-reward ratio as increasing competition puts pressure on yields.

    The Government of India has introduced several reforms to liberalise, regulate and enhance this industry. The Government and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have taken various measures to facilitate easy access to finance for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). These measures include launching Credit Guarantee Fund Scheme for Micro and Small Enterprises, issuing guideline to banks regarding collateral requirements and setting up a Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency (MUDRA). With a combined push by both government and private sector, India is undoubtedly one of the world's most vibrant capital markets. In 2017,a new portal named 'Udyami Mitra' has been launched by the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) with the aim of improving credit availability to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises' (MSMEs) in the country.

    • Overall domestic credit: Size, Composition and Growth Trends

    The Indian retail credit market stood at `32.5 trillion as on December 31, 2017 registering a y-o-y growth of about 20%. The growth dipped post demonetisation and remained subdued till Q2 FY2018. The credit growth for SCB and NBFC revived in Q3 FY2018 and registered a 19% y-o-y growth. The key target borrower segments for the NBFCs are the self-employed and small businesses, and their sizeable share of business is based on cash transactions. Owing to demontisation, their growth dipped and remained subdued because of the uncertainties around the impact of GST implementation. This in turn impacted the growth of the NBFC retail credit. With some stabilisation of the GST processes and improvement in demand, the credit growth rose sharply in Q3 FY2018 and it expanded by about 6.0% during the quarter vis-a-vis an average sequential Q-o-Q growth of about 3.7% over the previous four quarters. As on December 31, 2017, the total managed retail NBFC credit stood at Rs. 7.0 trillion (`6.1 trillion in March 2017) and grew by about 18.3% over December 31, 2016 ("15.5% in FY2017 and "18.8% in FY2016). The overall NBFC-retail credit growth was supported by revival in credit growth in some key asset classes, namely, commercial vehicles (CV), unsecured credit (including microfinance) and LAP+SME. These segments together accounted for about 60% of the total NBFC retail credit as of December 2017. The HFC (retail) grew by a healthy 23%, continuing its strong growth trend. Supported by the revival in retail credit growth, share of retail credit in the overall credit (SCB+NBFC+HFC) improved to 33% as compared with ~31% in December 2016.

    ICRA expects retail credit growth in FY2018 to be at ~20% and about 18-19% in FY2019 as uptick witnessed in the key asset segments in NBFCs, namely -CV, SME and unsecured/ microfinance during FY2018 is likely to hold up while HFC and bank credit growth is expected to expand at about 20-22% and 17-19% respectively. Growth in HFC’s credit is likely to be supported by strong growth.

    The primary target segment for RFL are the self-employed borrowers who mobilise loans for business needs. In a scenario, where the business environment is not conducive, there is likelihood of an impact on the repayment capacity of these borrowers, thereby resulting in asset quality issues. In challenging operating environments, these medium to small enterprises are more prone to high volatility in cash flows, with the result that the level of default tends to be higher for them. As part of the risk control mechanism, there is a continued focus on obtaining information on industries as well as micro and macro-economic developments on a real time basis. There is also a real time evolution of the due diligence/ underwriting parameters for better on-boarding quality.

    ð Business Outlook

    The sudden announcement of demonetisation opened the floodgates of digital payments and forced the common man to do a double take on digitisation. With GST on the anvil, the push for digitisation will be further strengthened and will help streamline even the most unorganised sectors of the economy. The MSME sector has long been regarded as the backbone of the economy and the above initiatives will push them to evolve and compete on a global platform. The introduction of the ‘One Nation –One Tax’ GST Bill was a watershed moment in the history of India’s economy and revolutionize the MSME sector to compete on an equal footing. RFL looks to FY 18-19, with a positive outlook riding on the back of the above progressive reforms.

    The Indian Economy is poised to emerge as one of the leading economies of the world with a $5trillion economy by 2025. The present government’s impetus on ‘Make in India’ to strengthen the manufacturing sector, has given the MSME sector a major push.

    rdXXIII Annual Report 2017-18

    In view of RBI concerns, the first step the new Board/Management has taken immediately after taking charge was that it has reviewed the portfolio and the financial reports of the borrowers to determine the recover ability of the said loans. As a part of the recovery process, the management issued legal notices to the borrowers and has initiated corporate insolvency resolution process under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, against the said entities comprising the Corporate Loan Book.

    Vide its letter dated February 16, 2018, LVB was expressly informed that not only RFL was not party to any loans that were allegedly sanctioned or granted by LVB to any third party, as also that no authorization, sanction or approval had ever been provided by RFL to LVB permitting the creation of any security or encumbrance of the FDs for any third party loans or borrowings. LVB was also forewarned that any attempt to subject the FDs to illegal encumbrance would not only be violative of RFL’s rights, but also constitute deliberate contempt by LVB of the Order dated January 5, 2018 passed by the Hon’ble Delhi High Court, a copy of which was served on LVB vide Legal notice dated February 16, 2018.

    RFL at no point in time, instructed, authorized or consented to the liquidation of the fixed deposits or the adjustment thereof against loans availed of by any third parties or the creation of any encumbrance on the fixed deposits, whether by way of a lien, security, charge or pledge in connection with the loans availed of by any third parties. RFL has filed a suit for recovery of the Fixed Deposit amounts aggregating `79,144.77 Lakh appropriated by LVB before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court on May 31, 2018. On the next date of hearing i.e. July 19, 2018, LVB filed its written statement and served a copy to RFL. Matter was posted to July 31, 2018. On July 31, 2018 RFL pressed for the injunction applications pending before the court and both the parties were heard at length. RFL has filed its replication to the written statement filed by LVB. On August 14, 2018, case was partly argued by RFL and now the case is kept for further arguments on 7th September, 2018.

    RFL has an exposure of `203,670 Lakh towards the Corporate Loan Book. RBI has raised concerns in the past about the credit worthiness of the borrowers, credit appraisal and loan sanctioning mechanism followed by RFL in respect of this book.

    Thereafter, in the financial year under reporting, RFL had entered into the Settlement Agreement with the counter parties pursuant to which the various cases against each other at various courts and tribunals were withdrawn on consent terms, however RFL retained its right to recover the amounts due from SCCPL and Perpetual. However, despite the settlement agreement, SCCPL has again filed suits against RFL at various forums. The matters are sub-judice as on date.

    While things stood thus, RFL came to be in receipt of a copy of the letter dated April 24, 2018 addressed by LVB to the statutory auditors of RFL that LVB had “closed the said deposits on 20.02.2018 to liquidate the loans availed” by third parties. This was contrary to the confirmation received by the Statutory Auditors in November 2017 via email confirming the fixed deposits.

    RFL has also appointed a reputed law firm to undertake a detailed diligence on this loan book. Post submission of the report and the steps outlined for recovery, RFL intends to pursue all legal means for recovering the loans.

    b) Corporate Loan Book of RFL

    As disclosed in previous year Annual Report 2016-17, in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the half year ended September 30, 2016, RFL has written off the entire ̀ 5,199,151,636 due from SCCPL. Further, the loans given to Perpetual Credit Services Private Limited (“Perpetual”), (a group company of SCCPL) and loan Purchase from Nishu Finlease Pvt. Ltd. of ̀ 2,737,568,540 were also written off.

    RFL is in the process of detailed diligence on these and connected transactions and is pursuing appropriate legal remedies to recover the amounts due to it and expect that there will not be any obligation on RFL out of these cases.

    Further, in this regard, your Board has decided to initiate all legal actions against SCCPL & its related parties including but not limited to filing insolvency petitions as may be advised by its external legal counsels in the matter and to re-open the SCCPL assignment transaction,
