Arijit Sanyal
Managing Director & CEO
Private & Confidential (For Addressee Only)
The following are the risks relating to the Company, the Debentures and the market in general envisaged
by the management of the Company. Potential investors should carefully consider all the risk factors in
this Information Memorandum and/or the Private Placement Offer Letter for evaluating the Company and
its business and the Debentures before making any investment decision relating to the Debentures. The
Company believes that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent in investing in
the Debentures, but does not represent that the statements below regarding risks of holding the Debentures
are exhaustive. Investors should also read the detailed information set out elsewhere in this Information
Memorandum and/or the Private Placement Offer Letter and reach their own views prior to making any
investment decision.
If any one of the following stated risks actually occurs, the Company’s business, financial conditions and
results of operations could suffer and, therefore, the value of the Company’s Debentures could decline
and/or the Company’s ability to meet its obligations in respect of the Debentures could be affected. More
than one risk factor may have simultaneous effect with regard to the Debentures such that the effect of a
particular risk factor may not be predictable. In addition, more than one risk factor may have a
compounding effect which may not be predictable. No prediction can be made as to the effect that any
combination of risk factors may have on the value of the Debentures and/or the Company’s ability to meet
its obligations in respect of the Debentures.
These risks and uncertainties are not the only issues that the Company faces. Additional risks and
uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently believes to be immaterial
may also have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or business. Unless specified or
quantified in the relevant risk factors, the Company is not in a position to quantify the financial or other
implications of any risk mentioned herein below.
INTERNAL RISKS
4.1 CREDIT RISK: THE BUSINESS OF LENDING CARRIES THE RISK OF DEFAULT BY
BORROWERS.
Any lending business is exposed to the risk of default by its borrowers thereby resulting in non-performing
assets (NPAs). Lending for education is the core business of the Company. Since inception there has been
a strong emphasis on developing systematic credit appraisal techniques. The Company has a core team,
which carefully monitors loan recoveries and ensures that the NPAs are kept to a minimal.
Interest rate risk is inherent to the business of any financial institution. The Company endeavours to
minimise this risk by predominantly linking interest rates on loans to a base which varies in accordance
with movements in market rates. Interest rate, liquidity and foreign exchange risks are monitored and
managed through active Asset Liability Management (ALM).
4.3 ALM: THE RISKS THAT ARISE OUT OF MISMATCH OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
13
Private & Confidential (For Addressee Only)
The Company broadly follows RBI’s Guidelines on Liquidity Risk Management Framework. To further
monitor market risk management systems, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved an ALM
Policy, which inter alia defines the Company’s risk philosophy, specifies prudent gaps and tolerance limits
and reporting systems. The ALCO apprises the Board periodically on ALM issues.
4.4 OPERATIONAL RISK: THE RISKS THAT ARISE OUT OF SYSTEMIC ISSUES
WITHIN AN ORGANISATION
Operational risks are very broad based and intrinsic to any business which may vary from a change in the
key management personnel, information technology risks relating to the loan processing system, fraud
risks, etc., and which may affect the performance of the Issuer in a number of ways which could result in
contingent liabilities, operational hassles, variance in operating costs, etc. The Company has instituted
adequate internal control systems commensurate with the nature of its business and size of operations.
The Internal Audit function is carried out by independent audit firm. All significant internal audit
observations are reported to the Audit Committee of the Company.
The debentures are secured by pari passu charge with other existing lenders on the loan receivables of
the company's underlying portfolio of loans having minimum security cover of 1.05 times of the principal
outstanding and interest accrued but not paid, to be maintained throughout the tenor of the Debentures.
The ability to attract and retain quality talent impacts the successful implementation of growth plans of
the Company. The Company may lose many business opportunities and business would suffer if such
required manpower is not available on time. The inability of the Company to replace manpower in a
satisfactory and timely manner may adversely affect its business and future financial performance.
Any kind of employee misconduct may impair the Company’s ability to serve clients. It is not always
possible to deter employee misconduct and precautions the Company takes to detect and prevent this
activity may not be effective in all cases.
4.8 DISCLOSURES WHICH HAVE BEEN MADE AS PER LIMITED REVIEW MUST BE
READ WITH THE FOLLOWING DISCLAIMER
A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to
financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. In such a case, the auditors have not
performed an audit and accordingly, the auditors do not express an audit opinion.
14
Private & Confidential (For Addressee Only)
As of date, the Issuer has not defaulted in compliance with any material covenants agreed to by the Issuer
with its lenders.
The Company’s financing arrangements require it to maintain certain security cover for some of its
borrowings. Should there be a breach of any financial or other covenants contained in any of the
Company’s financing arrangements, the Company may be required to immediately repay its borrowings
either in whole or in part, together with any related costs. Under the terms of some of the financing
arrangements, the Company may be required to obtain the prior written consent of the concerned lender
prior to the Company entering into any scheme of expansion, merger, amalgamation, compromise or
reconstruction or selling, leasing, transferring all or substantial portion of its fixed and other assets; making
any change in ownership or control or constitution of the Company, or in the shareholding or management
or majority of directors, or in the nature of the business of the Company. This may restrict/delay some of
the actions/initiatives that the Company may like to take from time to time.
EXTERNAL RISKS
The Issuer is subject to changes in Indian laws including the Income Tax laws, as well as to changes in
government regulations and policies and accounting principles. Any changes in the regulatory framework
could adversely affect the profitability of the Issuer or its future financial performance, by requiring a
restructuring of its activities, increasing costs or otherwise.
Similarly, the Issue is also subject to changes in the economic conditions of foreign countries, policies of
the foreign governments with respect to Education, visa norms, etc. which would directly impact their
borrower’s ability to secure a job and thereby repay their dues.
Though the Issuer operates only within India and accordingly, all of its revenues are derived from the
domestic market, however, there is a considerable impact of global economic factors on the Indian
economy in a number of ways. As a result, it is highly dependent on prevailing economic conditions both
in India and abroad and its results of operations are significantly affected by various factors both Indian
and global influencing the Indian economy. An uncertain economic situation, in India and globally, could
result in a further slowdown in economic growth, investment and consumption. A slowdown in the rate
of growth in the Indian economy could result in lower demand for credit and other financial products and
services and higher defaults. Any slowdown in the growth or negative growth of sectors or in economies
where the Issuer has a relatively higher exposure could adversely impact its performance in that sector or
economy. Any such slowdown could adversely affect its business, prospects, results of operations and
financial condition.
Further, even the movement in foreign exchange rates goes on to impact the performance of the Issuer in
a number of ways e.g. in case of an adverse movement in foreign exchange where there is a depreciation
in the Indian Rupee vis-a-vis the foreign currency, the Issuer observes a surge in disbursements and also
in pre-payments or repayments and vice-versa.
The Debentures may be very illiquid and no secondary market may develop in respect thereof. Even if
15
Private & Confidential (For Addressee Only)
there is a secondary market for the Debentures, the same may not provide significant liquidity. Potential
investors may have to hold the Debentures for an indeterminate period to realize any value.
The Debentures have no established trading market. The Company cannot assure Debenture Holders that
a trading market for their Debentures will ever develop or be maintained. It is not possible to predict if
and to what extent a secondary market may develop, or at what price the Debentures will be sold or
purchased in the secondary market or whether such market will be liquid or illiquid.
This risk may arise from existing players or new entrants in the business of education finance. The
management of the Company believes that the Company, with Housing Development Finance Corporation
Limited (HDFC Ltd.’s) support as its parent company can leverage on its experience as a pioneer of retail
education finance in India and quality customer service so as to sustain its position in the market. HDFC
Ltd.’s parentage and continued support has been instrumental in the Issuer’s robust performance and book
size till date.
Special tax considerations and legal considerations may apply to certain types of investors, especially with
respect to investment in the Debentures. Potential investors are urged to consult with their own financial,
legal, tax and other advisors to determine any financial, legal, tax and other implications of this investment.
Special accounting considerations may apply to certain types of taxpayers. Potential investors are urged
to consult with their own accounting advisors to determine implications of this investment.
Investors are advised to read the risk factors carefully before taking an investment decision in this issue.
For taking an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the issue and the
Disclosure Document/Information Memorandum and/or the Private Placement Offer Letter, including the
risks involved. The issue has not been recommended or approved by Securities and Exchange Board of
India (SEBI) nor does SEBI guarantee the accuracy or adequacy of this Disclosure Document/Information
Memorandum and/or the Private Placement Offer Letter.
The Rating Agencies have assigned the credit ratings to the Debentures. In the event of deterioration in
the financial health of the Issuer, there is a possibility that the Rating Agencies may downgrade the rating
16
Private & Confidential (For Addressee Only)
of the Debentures. In such cases, potential investors may incur losses on revaluation of their investment
or make provisions towards sub-standard/ non-performing investment as per their usual norms.
4.19 CHANGES IN GENERAL INTEREST RATES IN THE ECONOMY MAY AFFECT THE
PRICE OF THE DEBENTURES.
All securities where a fixed rate of interest is offered, such as the Debentures, are subject to price risk.
The price of such securities will vary inversely with changes in prevailing interest rates, i.e. when interest
rates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall and when interest rates drop, the prices increase. The extent
of fall or rise in the prices is a function of the existing coupon, days to maturity and the increase or decrease
in the level of prevailing interest rates. Increased rates of interest, which frequently accompany inflation
and/or a growing economy, are likely to have a negative effect on the price of the Debentures.
In the event that the Company is unable to meet its payment and other obligations towards Investors under
the terms of the Debentures, the Trustee may enforce the Security as per the terms of the Trust Deed and
other related documents. The investors’ recovery in relation to the Debentures will be subject to (i) the
market value of the security and (ii) finding a willing buyer for such security at a price sufficient to repay
the potential investors’ amount outstanding under the Debentures.
As per Section 71 of the Companies Act 2013, any company that intends to issue debentures must create
a debenture redemption reserve to which adequate amounts shall be credited out of the profits of the
company until the redemption of the debentures. However, under the Companies (Issuance of Share
Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014, non-banking financial companies are exempt from this requirement
in respect of privately placed debentures. Pursuant to this exemption, the Company is not required to
create DRR.
4.22 REFUSAL OF LISTING OF ANY SECURITY OF THE ISSUER DURING LAST THREE
YEARS BY ANY OF THE STOCK EXCHANGES IN INDIA OR ABROAD.
As of date, the Issuer has not been refused listing of any of its securities during the last 3 (three) years by
any of the stock exchanges in India or abroad.
In accordance with Indian law and practice, permissions for listing and trading of the Debentures issued
pursuant to this issue will not be granted until the relevant stock exchange approves the listing, which will
be available only after an updated documents is accordingly filed with the relevant authorities at the time
of such listing. Approval for listing and trading will required all the relevant documents authorising the
issuing of Debentures to be submitted. There could be a failure or delay in listing the Debentures on the
stock exchange.

1. Details with regard to lending done out of the issue proceeds of earlier issuances of debt
securities (whether public issue or private placement) by NBFC
HDFC Credila’s Credit Policy and Standard Operating Procedures are guiding documents for the
lending operations of the company. The documents have been created to ensure a structured and
robust process is followed for all activities involved in the loan lifecycle. The objective of the
documents is to provide a framework for efficient and standardized lending process whilst
ensuring customer satisfaction, risk mitigation, and regulatory compliance.
I. Sourcing of Loans
II. Education Loan Products and Features
III. Loan Approval Process – Credit and KYC documentation
IV. Disbursement Process and Post Disbursement Activities
V. Risk Management and Monitoring
VI. Grievance Redressal Mechanism
The Credit policy also covers the general terms & conditions and documentation required for each
product.
Below is the summary of the loan products and the processes followed across the loan transaction
cycle.
I. Sourcing of Loans
A loan application is sourced through various channels such as education consultants, test
preparation centres, informational webinars, business associates etc. Based on documents
provided either in digital or in physical form, initial screening of documents and detailed data
entry is done on system.
KYC, PMLA and other requirements etc. While these guidelines are applicable to all loans, some
of the product attributes are distinct basis the term, applicable fees, maximum loan etc. basis the
commercial and risk perception of the company.
All loans are appraised by the Credit teams of respective locations post initial document
fulfillment by sales team. The appraisal process for determining the loan eligibility involves
underwriting of the submitted documents and undertaking various checks to ensure authenticity
of the documents, genuineness of the transaction and compliance with all regulations. The various
policy guidelines as issued by RBI on KYC, CKYC, PMLA, etc. are adhered to during the
appraisal process.
Review of the loan application, credit and property documents (in the case of loans secured by
property) by HDFC Credila’s credit appraiser is supported by the above checks and personal
discussion with the applicant/s (if required) to determine the loan eligibility. The review is based
on the assessment of student education qualifications and scores in entrance/other college related
exams, Co-borrowers repayment capacity by estimating the income and obligations, savings and
investment history, ability to fund the balance cost of education (i.e. total cost of education less
the loan amount) and banking history.
The loan proposal is appraised holistically considering the student qualification and type of course
to be undertaken for future job prospects, source of own contribution for balance funds, location
and type of college/university etc.
The loan eligibility of a customer is dependent on the ability to service the loan obligation. The
ability to pay is a factor of the quantum and consistency of income of the coborrower/s. The source
of the income, frequency, and continuity of the income stream is also considered when loan
eligibility is determined.
Apart from credit underwriting, there are various checks undertaken during the approval process.
The additional checks are:
All education loans are appraised by the credit teams at the concerned locations. Loans are
recommended by credit appraisers and approved by a relevant authority, in line with the Board
approved authority matrix.
The approving authority is based on loan amount, type of product (secured/unsecured) and
country/course of study.
In compliance with the RBI guidelines, the KYC documents of all customers are received and
verified from original prior to the disbursement of the loan.
55
Private & Confidential (For Addressee Only)
1. Identification of risk: This is done through documentation and information acquisition (from
customers), reviewing various reports such as CIBIL etc. and personal discussions. The risk is
assessed on factors like age, qualification of student and co-borrower/s stability of employment,
number of dependents, income levels as well as savings and investments history. This determines a
customer’s inclination to repay.
2. Quantification of risk: This involves extensive evaluation of the coborrower’s current financial
condition and capacity to pay. The source of income along with the frequency, consistency and
continuity of income flow is assessed. The existing liabilities of the coborrower’s are also considered.
3. Hedging of Risk: Once a customer’s ability and inclination to pay is determined, the need for any
additional security required to hedge the risk further in terms of fixed deposits or property that may
be ascertained.
Technical Evaluation and Legal Documentation
HDFC Credila offers diverse education loan products including secured education loans i,e.
secured against collateral, which could be in the form of property and/or fixed deposits. If property
is taken as collateral, said property is kept as security with HDFC Credila for loan tenure and
appropriate evaluation of the property is carried out. The process involves technical and legal
compliance which is undertaken during loan sanction. The property is checked through registered
valuer verifying construction quality, area, dimensions, and clearance as per local by laws.
Similarly, the property documents are verified by external lawyer to ensure title is clear,
encumbrance free and can be mortgaged to HDFC Credila.
Once the loan is disbursed, the borrower’s file is sent for storage. Any pending documents
[marked as “Post Disbursement Documents” (PDDs) in the system] are tracked and updated in
the system/docket once submitted by the borrower.
56

The Risk Management Committee meets on a quarterly basis to assess these specific risks, grading
them from high to low.

policy compliance and shares feedback with branches for taking corrective action or a change in
the process. These reports are also discussed at the Audit Committee.
The Company has established a tiered escalation process to ensure all complaints are handled by
an appropriate authority:
Level 1 - Complaints received shall initially be addressed by the Service Desk (SD) within 10
working days. If the grievance is not resolved to the satisfaction of the customer within this
timeframe, the SD forwards the same to the Grievance Officer (GO).
Level 2 - If the customer is not satisfied with the resolution at Level 1, he/she may approach the
Grievance Redressal Officer (GRO) with reference to the Application ID.
Level 3 - In case the complaint is not addressed to the customer's satisfaction, within one month
from date of original complaint, he/ she may appeal to the Officer In Charge of Regional Office
