Vani Commercials Management Discussions


The Companys main object is to conduct Non-banking Financial operations, and the market for this activity offers high potential for growth. The Company is carrying on business of NBFC and is operating from its registered office situated at New Delhi. Recently, there have been a number of reasons that have resulted in the downfall of the Indian economy in last couple of years due to the Outbreak of global pandemic Covid-19. The world economy got adversely affected as due to lack in supply of required medications, vaccinations and other crucial needs of the population across the globe. For this, a number of research and development projects got initiated by the Indian Government which eventually resulted in evolution of the vaccines to combat with COVID-19 due to which significant amount of foreign direct investments were made in India. Indias merchandise exports and imports rebounded strongly and surpassed pre-COVID levels during the current financial year. There was significant pickup in net services with both receipts and payments crossing the pre-pandemic levels, despite weak tourism revenues. Net capital flows were higher at US$ 65.6 billion in the first half of 2021-22, on account of continued inflow of foreign investment, revival in net external commercial borrowings, higher banking capital and additional special drawing rights (SDR) allocation. Flow ever, Indias external debt rose to US $ 593.1 billion at end-September 2021, from US $ 556.8 billion a year earlier, reflecting additional SDR allocation by IMF, coupled with higher commercial borrowings. As of end-November 2021, India was the fourth largest forex reserves holder in the world after China, Japan and Switzerland.

During the first quarter of FY 2021-22 the GDP of India stands at Rs. 32.38 lakh crore, as against Rs 26.95 lakh crore in Q1 of 2020-21, showing an increase of 20.1%. The second quarter started with the GDP growing by 17.5% in July- September 2021. Thereafter, we have seen a rebound —thanks to the resilience of our citizens, our entrepreneurs and of our economy. In the third quarter (October- December 2021), the GDP increased to Rs 38,22,159 crore whereas it was Rs 36,26,220 crore in the third quarter of FY 2020-21, i.e. it saw a small positive growth of 5.4% compared to the same period in the previous year.

Flow ever, due to the outbreak of Russia-Ukraine War, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has slashed the growth forecast for India for the FY 2022-23 by 80 basis points to 8.2 % which may result in the development cycle running at a slower pace, which may further affect the Indian economy significantly.

• INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs) are an integral part of the countrys financial system because of their complementary as well as competitive role. They act as a critical link in the overall financial system catering to a large market of niche customers. Further, despite of strong competition faced by the NBFCs, the inner strength of NBFCs viz local knowledge, credit appraisal skill, well trained collection machinery, close monitoring of borrowers and personalized attention to each client, are catering to the needs of small and medium enterprises in the rural and semi urban areas. However, as a result of consolidation and restructuring in the financial sector and liberalization and globalization of markets only few strong NBFCs now remain in business.

On the regulatory front, NBFCs are regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) almost at par with banks. All the prudential norms for asset classification, income recognition, provisioning etc., are applicable to NBFCs in India. Given the continuously high levels of inflation throughout the year, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has no option but to tighten the monetary policies. This has resulted in an increase in the domestic interest rates which has negatively impacted the sentiments of industries. Measures of risk aversion have not arised, even though the equity markets in most regions have posted significant gains and financial stresses in the markets have been limited.

The NBFC sector continued to grow its share in the financial services industry. Credit growth of scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) continued to be moderate throughout FY 2021-2022. In fact, the de-growth in GDP was much larger than expected.

MACROECONOMIC OVERVIEW

A brief summary of FY 2021-22 are discussed below:

The global economy recovered strongly in Current Year 2021 even as new variants of the COVID-19 virus fueled additional waves of the pandemic. Robust policy support in advanced economies, availability of vaccines, and relaxation of pandemic restrictions helped economies bounce back, which helped in collectively expanding the world output by an estimated 6.1%.

Home loans business witnessed a faster revival in volumes on the back of supportive property prices, stamp duty reductions by some state Governments and favourable interest rate environment as lenders thronged to lower risk assets.

On 27 March, 2020, the RBI had announced a moratorium for EMIs / payments falling due from 1st March, 2020 till 31st May, 2020. This moratorium was further extended till 31st August 2020 for all EMIs / payments falling due up to 31st August, 2020. Approximately 40.4% of total outstanding loans of financial institutions as on 31 August 2020 were under moratorium covering approximately 45.6% of customers (Source: RBI Report on Trend and Progress of Banking in India).

• OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

The performance of capital market in India has a direct correlation with the prospect of economic growth and political stability. In FY 2021-22, Indian GDP was expected to grow at 8.9% for as it continues to be the fastest growing amongst the large economies in the world according to IMF. Amongst other macro-economic indicators, inflation (CPI) continued to remain stable for the entire FY 2021-22.

Accommodative monetary policies in advanced economies, coupled with better growth prospects in Emerging Markets ("Ems") including India, are expected to trigger large capital inflows in EMs which in turn could lead to inflationary pressures and asset price bubble. Our business performance may also be impacted by increased competition from local and global players operating in India, regulatory changes and attrition of employees. With growing presence of players offering advisory service coupled with provision of funds for the clients needs, we would face competition of unequal proportion. We continuously tackle this situation by providing increasingly superior customized services.

In financial services business, effective risk management has become very crucial. As an NBFC, the Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risks and has in place suitable mechanisms to effectively reduce such risks. All these risks are continuously analyzed and reviewed at various levels of management through an effective information system. The Company is having excellent Board of Directors who is Expert in financial sector, and is helping the Company in making good Investment. The company is also facing risk of heavy ups and down in stock market which have been minimized due to risk management system of our company.

• OUTLOOK AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

Competition continues to be intense, as the Indian and foreign banks have entered the retail lending business in a big way, thereby exerting pressure on margins. The erstwhile providers of funds have now become competitors. NBFCs can sustain in this competitive environment only through optimization of funding costs, identification of potential business areas, widening geographical reach, and use of technology, cost efficiencies, strict credit monitoring and raising the level of customer service.

Our Company has also taken various cost cutting measures to sustain the operations and to optimize the use of its financial resources. Also, we are providing moratorium support to our customers/borrowers on specific requests raised by them after assessing the merit of their requests and their loan repayment track record and in line with the RBI directives.

Our liquidity position has improved, as, our Revenue from operations has been enhanced primarily on account of high collections from customers with reference to the loans advanced. We are however hopeful that it will lead our Company towards new prospects of growth and expansion.

Ability to service debt and other financing arrangements:

Our ability to service debts and other financial debt commitment has not been affected as our financial leveraging is low. Thus, at present, the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet the same.

Assets

There is some reduction in the number of Non-Performing Assets (i.e. "NPAs" in the form of decrease in number of customers who are unable to pay their debts) in the 1st quarter of 2021-22 due to better financial results of the Company. However, the level of the same cannot be ascertained at present and will depend on recovery time taken by the economy to bounce back.

Internal financial reporting and control

Internal financial reporting and control are functional as, checks and controls are being exercised by us keeping in mind all the factors, whether financial or Non-Financial.

Supply chain

The Supply chain of the Company has improved as compared to the last financial year. New customers have been identified by the Company after making on-field visits at customers place for the collection of various documents; and various other measures in order to establish the credit worthiness and genuineness of the prospective borrower.

Demand for its products/services

Though the demand for availing loan products has not declined, yet, considering the present financial crunch in the economy, we are following a cautious approach in fresh financing to new customers, as, the probability of non-repayment of outstanding dues by the customers has risen due to financial crisis that was witnessed by many people on account of stagnant business activities across the globe caused by lockdown restriction due to the COVID-19 phenomenon.
