Policy

Collection

& Policies

1. PREAMBLE

Agrim Fincap Private Limited ("the Company") acknowledges that the integrity of its credit cycle depends significantly on the ethical, lawful and disciplined execution of its collection activities. The Company further recognises that RBI regulations emphasise consumer dignity, respect, fairness and transparency as foundational principles governing all collection mechanisms.

This Policy has therefore been formulated to ensure that recovery of dues is undertaken in full compliance with the RBI Guidelines on Recovery Agents (2022), the RBI Digital Lending Framework (2022 onwards), the Reserve Bank of India (Integrated Ombudsman Scheme), the Fair Practices Code, the Outsourcing Policy, and applicable provisions of the Information Technology Act and consumer protection laws.

This Policy reflects the Company's unwavering commitment that all interactions with borrowers—particularly when they are financially vulnerable—are conducted with empathy, discretion, professionalism and in strict conformity with regulatory directions.

2. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The objective of this Policy is to create a comprehensive, uniform and well-governed collection framework that governs every stage of the recovery process, including repayment reminders, softly-worded nudges, overdue account monitoring, field visits, skip-tracking, hardship resolution, settlement discussions, escalation management and closure of delinquent accounts.

This Policy applies universally to all employees of the Company, collection staff, internal field officers, external recovery partners, Loan Service Providers (LSPs), Digital Lending Applications (DLAs), tele-calling vendors, technology partners, customer support units and any individual or entity authorised to act on behalf of the Company.

No person or entity may engage in collection activity on behalf of the Company unless they are expressly approved, empanelled and governed by this Policy.

3. COMMITMENT TO ETHICAL, RESPECTFUL AND DIGNIFIED ENGAGEMENT

The Company shall ensure that borrowers are always treated with dignity, fairness and humanity. Collection processes shall be empathetic and shall avoid creating fear, stress or psychological pressure.

The Company acknowledges that non-payment or delay may often arise due to genuine hardship, and therefore adopts a "humane and resolution-driven" approach wherein Borrowers are encouraged to engage constructively, seek clarifications and explore appropriate repayment arrangements.

No borrower shall be subjected to harassment, verbal aggression, intimidation, humiliation, public disclosure of default, excessive calls or repeated communication intended to cause annoyance or distress. The Company shall maintain a zero-tolerance approach toward any misconduct by its own employees or outsourced partners.

4. PERMISSIBLE HOURS AND MANNER OF CONTACT

All borrower contact, whether telephonic, physical or digital, shall strictly conform to RBI directions. Contact shall only be established between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM, except where exceptional circumstances justify deviation and where explicit borrower consent is documented.

The Company shall ensure that collection staff communicate in a calm, respectful and fact-based manner. Borrowers shall be informed clearly of the outstanding dues, permitted payment methods, applicable timelines, and available grievance channels. Misrepresentation, manipulation of facts, coercive tone or concealed threats are strictly prohibited.

Communications shall be spaced reasonably, avoiding bombardment or undue persistence that may amount to harassment.

Digital messages generated by automated systems shall be monitored to ensure they do not breach RBI mandated timing windows.

5. STRICT PROHIBITION ON HARASSMENT, HUMILIATION AND COERCION

The Company expressly prohibits behaviours including but not limited to threatening language, defamatory or humiliating statements, mental pressure, public disclosure of borrower identity, contacting social circles of the borrower without purpose, or engaging in aggressive conduct during field visits.

Collection agents shall not visit the borrower's place of employment without prior consent and shall not cause the borrower embarrassment in any public or private setting.

No representative shall impersonate law-enforcement authorities, issue false legal threats, or imply criminality where none exists.

The Company prohibits calling borrowers repeatedly, using profanity or raising one's voice, or using any communication format that resembles harassment or intimidation.

6. DIGITAL COLLECTION CONDUCT AND DATA LIMITATIONS

The Company recognises the heightened expectations placed by the RBI on digital recovery practices due to misuse observed in the fintech ecosystem. Accordingly, all digital collection communication must be fair, accurate, and limited solely to essential repayment information.

DLAs or LSPs engaged in any digital process must not access or demand access to the borrower's contacts, personal galleries, messages, device contents, geolocation or metadata beyond what is expressly permitted. The use of behavioural threats, "fear-based templates", automated abusive messages, or any communication intended to intimidate, shame or coerce the borrower is strictly prohibited.

Payment links must be secure, official and directly mapped to the Company's accounts. All collection notifications shall preserve the confidentiality of borrower information.

7. AUTHORISATION, TRAINING AND IDENTIFICATION OF RECOVERY AGENTS

Only individuals or agencies formally empanelled by the Company after due diligence may perform recovery activities.

1. PREAMBLE

Agrim Fincap Private Limited ("the Company"), being an NBFC-COR ND-NSI regulated under the Master Direction – NBFC – Scale Based Regulation (SBR), 2023, recognises that responsible, compliant and well-governed outsourcing of financial and non-financial activities is critical for maintaining operational integrity, ensuring customer protection, and upholding regulatory expectations.

The Company acknowledges that the act of outsourcing does not diminish its obligations to customers or dilute the standards of conduct demanded by the Reserve Bank of India ("RBI"). The Company remains entirely responsible, at all times, for outsourced operations and for the conduct, competence and integrity of all service providers acting on its behalf.

This Policy establishes the principles, governance systems, internal controls, oversight mechanisms, and risk management framework governing every outsourcing arrangement undertaken by the Company. It reflects the Company's adherence to the RBI Master Direction on Outsourcing of Financial Services, the RBI Digital Lending Guidelines (2022 onwards), the Consumer Protection Framework for Regulated Entities, and all related circulars, notifications, and supervisory expectations.

2. PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE POLICY

The primary objective of this Outsourcing Policy is to ensure that any outsourced activity is conducted in a manner that fully preserves the Company's regulatory compliance, operational standards, customer rights, data confidentiality obligations, and the supervisory authority of the RBI.

This Policy governs all outsourcing relationships, including but not limited to Loan Service Providers (LSPs), Digital Lending Applications (DLAs), technology vendors, tele-calling partners, collection agencies, data processing entities, KYC partners, field verification agencies, and any other service provider engaged in activities that may affect customers, compliance, risk, operations, or governance.

The Policy applies uniformly to all functions outsourced by the Company, irrespective of whether the outsourcing is domestic or digital, internal or external, front-end or back-end, customer-facing or support-oriented.

3. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE: NO DILUTION OF REGULATORY RESPONSIBILITY

The Company recognises that outsourcing is an operational arrangement and not a transfer of responsibility. All regulatory, supervisory and fiduciary obligations remain solely with Agrim Fincap Private Limited, irrespective of the extent, nature, or manner of outsourced activity.

Every outsourced service shall be subject to direction, oversight, audit and control by the Company, and the Company shall always retain the right to intervene, inspect, modify or terminate the arrangement in the interest of regulatory compliance or customer protection.

At all times, the Company shall ensure that outsourcing does not impair its ability to meet obligations to customers; compromise its financial soundness; hinder the RBI's ability to supervise its operations; or expose the Company to unmanaged operational, legal, reputational, strategic or cybersecurity risks.

4. ACTIVITIES ELIGIBLE AND INELIGIBLE FOR OUTSOURCING

The Company may outsource operational, administrative, technological or customer-facing functions, provided such outsourcing does not contravene any statutory or regulatory restriction.

Core decision-making functions involving credit sanction, risk acceptance, pricing decisions, regulatory reporting, or strategic management shall always remain with the Company and shall never be outsourced, directly or indirectly.

Any activity which may create a conflict of interest, compromise internal controls, distort risk oversight, or impede the Company's ability to comply with law shall not be outsourced.

5. GOVERNANCE AND APPROVAL MECHANISM

All outsourcing proposals shall be evaluated through a structured review process assessing their impact on operational resilience, data security, regulatory compliance and risk exposure. The Board of Directors shall approve the Policy and shall receive periodic reports on significant outsourcing arrangements.

The senior management of the Company shall be responsible for ensuring that outsourcing contracts are aligned with regulatory expectations, that due diligence is conducted prior to engagement of service providers, and that adequate oversight is maintained throughout the duration of the arrangement.

The Risk Management Committee, constituted under Regulation 21 of SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, shall periodically review outsourced arrangements as part of the Company's enterprise risk framework.

The Risk Management Committee and Compliance Department shall continuously supervise outsourced functions to ensure conformity with RBI's prudential and conduct norms.

Any arrangement involving Default Loss Guarantee (DLG/FLDG), if undertaken, shall strictly comply with RBI's DLG Guidelines including 5% cap, fixed DLG set, and mandatory Board approval.

6. DUE DILIGENCE AND SELECTION OF SERVICE PROVIDERS

Before entering into any outsourcing agreement, the Company shall undertake detailed due diligence of the service provider's competence, experience, financial soundness, governance practices, data handling protocols, cybersecurity framework, compliance history, human resource standards, and operational resilience.

The due diligence shall include verification of legal standing, reputation, regulatory track record, and the service provider's ability to meet business continuity expectations under adverse conditions. In cases involving LSPs, DLAs, tele-calling agencies or recovery partners, additional due diligence relating to behavioural conduct, customer interaction protocols, and adherence to RBI's Digital Lending Guidelines shall be undertaken.

Service providers lacking appropriate risk controls, data protection standards, or ethical safeguards shall not be engaged.

7. CONTRACTUAL SAFEGUARDS AND LEGAL DOCUMENTATION

Every outsourcing arrangement shall be governed by a written, legally enforceable agreement clearly defining responsibilities, service standards, data protection obligations, confidentiality requirements, audit rights, termination rights, contingency provisions, indemnities, and compliance obligations.

Contracts shall firmly establish that the service provider acts under the direction and control of the Company, and that no element of the arrangement creates a principal–agent shift of regulatory obligations. All agreements shall explicitly restrict the service provider from subcontracting critical activities without the prior written consent of the Company.

The Company shall retain unrestricted right to audit the operations, systems, personnel and records of the service provider at any time.

8. OVERSIGHT, MONITORING AND PERFORMANCE REVIEW

Outsourced activities shall be continuously supervised to ensure performance in accordance with regulatory and contractual standards. The Company shall maintain oversight through MIS reporting, compliance reviews, surprise checks, call audits, data security validations, and risk-based monitoring.

For LSPs and DLAs, the Company shall ensure adherence to RBI's Digital Lending norms, including limitations on data collection, prohibition on direct customer charges, and restrictions on access to customer devices or contact lists.

The Company shall periodically evaluate the performance, conduct and compliance status of each service provider and shall take corrective action, including termination, if deviations are observed.

9. CUSTOMER PROTECTION AND CONDUCT REQUIREMENTS

Where an outsourced service is customer-facing, the Company shall ensure that the service provider maintains the same high standards of fairness, courtesy, transparency and professionalism as are expected of the Company's own employees.

The Company shall ensure that outsourcing does not compromise grievance mechanisms, turnaround times, quality of communication, data confidentiality, or behavioural norms expected under the regulatory framework.

LSPs, recovery agents, tele-calling agencies and digital platforms acting on behalf of the Company shall be expressly bound to follow the Company's Fair Practices Code, Collection Policy, Digital Guidelines Policy and Privacy Policy. Under no circumstances shall any LSP, DLA or outsourced entity charge any fee, commission or amount to the customer. All charges to the customer shall only be levied directly by the Company.

Issuance of the Key Fact Statement (KFS), loan documents, and sanction letters shall remain the exclusive responsibility of the Company and shall not be delegated to any LSP or service provider.

10. Prohibition on Unauthorised Debits and Payment Initiations

No service provider, including any LSP, DLA, payment partner, technology vendor or outsourced agency, shall initiate or facilitate any automatic debit, e-mandate, UPI collect request, NACH mandate, or any other form of electronic payment instruction on behalf of the Company without the borrower's prior, explicit and verifiable consent, in full compliance with applicable RBI regulations.

All payment instructions must originate strictly through customer-authorised channels, and any deviation or attempt to initiate an unauthorised debit shall constitute a material breach of the outsourcing arrangement and may result in immediate termination, disciplinary action, and regulatory reporting where required.

11. CONFIDENTIALITY AND DATA SECURITY

All service providers handling sensitive information shall be bound by stringent confidentiality commitments aligned with the Information Technology Act, SPDI Rules, and RBI Digital Lending data governance framework.

Customer data shall not be misused, stored in unapproved locations, shared with unauthorised entities, or accessed for any purpose other than the execution of the outsourced task. The Company shall adopt continuous monitoring to ensure data integrity, cybersecurity readiness, and protection from breaches.

DLAs and LSPs shall not access customer mobile resources such as contact lists, media files, call logs or telecommunication details, except as permitted expressly by RBI for KYC with one-time explicit consent.

In the event of any data compromise, incident or breach, the service provider shall immediately notify the Company, and the Company shall take necessary remedial, reporting and containment actions.

12. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

The Company shall ensure that each service provider maintains an appropriate Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and Disaster Recovery (DR) capability. Outsourcing arrangements shall be structured to preserve continuity of critical services even in situations of operational disruption.

The Company shall maintain alternative arrangements or fallback options for critical outsourced activities to ensure that operations are not impaired and that customers do not suffer prejudice.

13. RBI ACCESS, SUPERVISORY RIGHTS AND REGULATORY REPORTING

All outsourced activities shall remain fully accessible to the RBI for inspection, audit, supervision or enquiry. Service providers shall be contractually obligated to cooperate fully with the RBI and to make available all records, systems, and documents required by the regulator.

The Company shall disclose outsourcing arrangements in any regulatory return, compliance submission or supervisory process when mandated.

14. GRIEVANCES AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Customers shall not experience any dilution of rights or delays in grievance handling as a consequence of outsourcing. All customer grievances arising from outsourced functions shall be treated as grievances of the Company itself and processed in accordance with the Company's Grievance Redressal Mechanism. The Company shall ensure that outsourcing never becomes a barrier between the customer and the Company's obligation to redress complaints, provide transparency, or maintain service quality.

15. AUDIT, CONTROL AND INTERNAL REVIEW

Internal Audit shall independently assess the risk, strength and adequacy of outsourced arrangements and shall report deviations or vulnerabilities to senior management and the Board.

The Company shall maintain complete documentation and audit trails for each outsourced activity, including due diligence records, agreements, compliance reports and monitoring outcomes.

16. POLICY REVIEW AND AMENDMENTS

This Policy shall be reviewed at least annually, or earlier if required by regulatory updates, supervisory observations, operational developments or changes in risk profile. Amendments shall take effect only upon approval by the Board of Directors.

Policy

Risk Management

& Policies

1. PREAMBLE

Agrim Fincap Private Limited ("the Company"), as an NBFC-COR ND-NSI operating under the regulatory framework prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India, recognises that sound, proactive and comprehensive risk management is not merely a regulatory expectation but a fundamental prerequisite for the stability, sustainability, and integrity of its operations.

The Company acknowledges that its business model, involving the extension of financial credit, inherently exposes it to varying types of risks—credit, operational, market, liquidity, technology, cybersecurity, reputational, strategic, legal and compliance risks. This Policy establishes the overarching principles, internal structures, processes, systems and controls through which the Company identifies, measures, monitors, manages and mitigates such risks, ensuring that its operations remain prudent, transparent, compliant and resilient across economic cycles.

This Policy is structured to ensure alignment with the Master Direction – NBFC – Scale Based Regulation (SBR), 2023, the wider regulatory architecture applicable to NBFC-COR ND-NSI entities, and recognised risk management best practices adopted within the financial services sector.

2. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF THE RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

The primary objective of this Policy is to establish a well-defined, enterprise-wide risk management framework capable of supporting informed decision-making, protecting the Company's financial health, safeguarding customer interests, and ensuring long-term operational continuity.

The Policy governs all risks—quantitative and qualitative, financial and non-financial—across all business segments, branches, outsourced operations, digital platforms, LSP engagements, and any operational ecosystem directly or indirectly associated with the Company.

It ensures that risks are managed holistically and systematically, with clear governance lines, transparent accountability, and regular Board-level oversight.

3. GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE AND OVERSIGHT RESPONSIBILITIES

Risk management at the Company operates under the ultimate authority of the Board of Directors, which is responsible for defining the Company's risk appetite, approving the risk management framework, and ensuring that adequate internal controls, reporting structures, and oversight mechanisms are in place.

Senior management, under guidance of the Board, is responsible for embedding risk-awareness across business functions, ensuring that risk mitigation systems operate efficiently, and that deviations, breaches or emerging vulnerabilities are immediately escalated.

A dedicated Compliance function, together with Internal Audit and operational leadership, supervises adherence to regulatory norms, monitors operational risks, reviews credit underwriting practices, and ensures alignment with RBI's risk governance expectations. The Company follows a "three-lines-of-defence" structure, ensuring segregation of business, risk oversight, and independent audit.

As mandated under Regulation 4(2)(f) and Regulation 17 of SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, the Board shall ensure that the Company maintains a sound risk management framework, including internal controls, ICFR, ethical standards, compliance culture and effective oversight of management.

4. CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT

Credit risk represents the most significant category of risk for an NBFC-COR. The Company therefore maintains rigorous credit assessment systems, underwriting standards, and portfolio monitoring processes designed to evaluate the repayment capacity, creditworthiness, behavioural patterns, and financial stability of customers.

The Company undertakes due diligence of all borrowers, validates KYC in compliance with RBI's KYC Master Direction, analyses bureau information, assesses debt exposure, and adopts internal scoring or rule-based decision-making mechanisms.

Post-sanction monitoring includes review of repayment behaviour, stress indicators, delinquency movements, and portfolio-level risk metrics. The Company maintains provisioning, write-off and NPA recognition norms fully aligned with RBI's prudential requirements.

Credit risk arising from digital lending operations and LSP-based sourcing is treated with equal seriousness, with enhanced scrutiny on fraud detection, identity verification, field verifications, and prevention of impersonation or synthetic identity-related fraud.

5. OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company recognises operational risk as a consequence of failures in internal processes, systems, people, outsourced activities or external disruptions. The Policy mandates strong internal controls, digitised workflows, access restrictions, maker–checker protocols, audit trails, training systems, and clear delegation of authority.

Operational risks arising from outsourced functions—such as tele calling, collections, documentation, verification and digital onboarding—are governed by the Company's Outsourcing Policy and are subject to continuous oversight, periodic audit and legally enforceable contractual safeguards.

The Company emphasises fraud prevention, internal vigilance, MIS-driven exception reporting, and well-defined escalation mechanisms for operational irregularities, data breaches, or process lapses.

The Audit Committee, in line with Regulation 18 of SEBI (LODR) Regulations, shall oversee the Company's financial risk management, internal control systems, fraud risk, operational risk exposures, and the effectiveness of the internal audit function.

Any material risk observations identified by Internal Audit or Statutory Auditors shall be reviewed by the Audit Committee and escalated to the Board.

6. TECHNOLOGY RISK AND CYBERSECURITY CONTROLS

Given the increasing role of digital infrastructure, the Company recognises technology risk as a core risk category. The Company adopts secure systems, updated software, encrypted interfaces, endpoint protection, controlled access rights, and rigorous vendor-management standards.

Cybersecurity practices are implemented in accordance with RBI's digital lending architecture and applicable IT security norms. Systems handling customer data are protected against intrusion, malware, data leakage or unauthorised access, with real-time monitoring and incident response protocols in place.

The Company ensures that LSPs, DLAs and technology partners adhere to equivalent cybersecurity standards, particularly where customer onboarding or loan servicing is conducted through digital platforms.

7. LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company maintains prudent liquidity buffers, diversified funding relationships, and monitoring systems for cash flows, repayment schedules and maturity mismatches. Although the Company is an NBFC-COR ND-NSI, liquidity discipline remains essential.

The Company maintains strong MIS systems to track collections, outflows, commitments, interest obligations, and operational expenses. Stress testing is periodically performed to evaluate liquidity resilience under adverse scenarios, ensuring preparedness to fulfil obligations without jeopardising solvency or customer confidence.

8. COMPLIANCE AND REGULATORY RISK

Regulatory risk arises from non-compliance or delayed compliance with RBI guidelines, statutory requirements or other legal obligations.

The Company maintains a structured compliance framework ensuring timely and complete reporting, adherence to prudential norms, correct maintenance of statutory registers and returns, and accurate implementation of all circulars and notifications issued by the RBI, MCA, Income Tax Department, FIU-India and other authorities.

Compliance gaps are escalated promptly to senior management and the Board, with remedial measures instituted without delay.

9. REPUTATIONAL AND CONDUCT RISK

Reputational risk may arise from misconduct, unfair customer treatment, data breaches, regulatory violations, or unethical behaviour by employees or outsourced agents.

The Company ensures that employees and service providers adhere strictly to the Fair Practices Code, Collection Policy, Outsourcing Policy and customer-conduct standards mandated by RBI. Any behaviour capable of impairing customer trust or damaging the Company's reputation is addressed with zero-tolerance and immediate corrective action.

10. Portfolio Monitoring, MIS and Reporting

A robust MIS framework supports timely identification and analysis of risks across functions. Reports relating to delinquency trends, credit quality, operational breaches, fraud attempts, customer grievances, compliance exceptions, and digital-channel irregularities are generated and reviewed regularly by senior management and the Board.

Periodic portfolio reviews ensure that emerging risk patterns are identified promptly and mitigated through policy adjustments, tightening of underwriting standards, or enhanced monitoring.

Risk management reports, including credit quality, delinquency trends, fraud analytics, cybersecurity alerts and compliance exceptions, shall be periodically presented to the Risk Management Committee, Audit Committee and the Board, as applicable.

11. BUSINESS CONTINUITY AND DISASTER RECOVERY

The Company maintains contingency plans ensuring continued operations in the event of system failures, cyber incidents, physical disruptions, or natural calamities.

Service providers performing critical outsourced functions are required to maintain similar Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery capabilities, and the Company retains the right to review or test such capabilities periodically.

12. REVIEW AND AMENDMENT OF THE POLICY

This Policy shall be reviewed annually, or earlier where necessitated by supervisory observations, operational developments or amendments to RBI's regulatory framework. The revised Policy shall take effect only upon approval by the Board of Directors.

As a listed NBFC, the Company shall include risk management disclosures in the Board's Report and Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) section of the Annual Report, in compliance with Regulation 34 of SEBI (LODR) Regulations.

1. PREAMBLE

Agrim Fincap Private Limited ("the Company") recognises that the determination and administration of interest rates and associated charges constitute a central element of its lending operations and directly influence customer protection, credit discipline, revenue stability, and regulatory compliance. Being a regulated NBFC-COR ND-NSI under the Master Direction – NBFC – Scale Based Regulation (SBR), 2023, the Company acknowledges its obligation to uphold the principles of fairness, transparency, and reasonableness in the pricing of all credit products.

This Policy sets forth the Company's internal philosophy, governance structure, approval mechanism, risk-based rationale, operational methodology, disclosure standards, and compliance obligations concerning interest rates, fees, charges, and penal amounts applied across its loan portfolio. The Policy seeks to ensure that all pricing decisions are rational, defensible, consistent with RBI guidelines, and aligned with the Company's long-term risk strategy and customer protection standards.

2. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The purpose of this Policy is to articulate a comprehensive, Board-approved system for determining interest rates and pricing components applicable to all loan products offered by the Company. It establishes the mechanisms through which interest rates are set, revised, reviewed and disclosed.

This Policy governs all types of loans—payday loans, short-tenor loans, consumer loans, and any other products introduced by the Company—and is applicable irrespective of whether loans are sourced directly, through branches, through Loan Service Providers (LSPs), or via Digital Lending Applications (DLAs).

The Policy is binding upon the Board of Directors, senior management, the Credit Team, operational staff, digital platforms, LSPs, outsourced agents, and any other individual or entity involved in loan origination or servicing.

3. PRINCIPLES GUIDING INTEREST RATE DETERMINATION

The Company shall determine interest rates based on a holistic assessment of credit risk, borrower profile, operational costs, expected loss rates, delinquency behaviour, risk-adjusted return expectations, market conditions, regulatory prescriptions, and portfolio diversification objectives.

Interest rates shall always be determined in a manner that is non-discriminatory, transparent, appropriately risk-based, and consistent across customers in similar risk categories. All pricing decisions shall aim to balance customer fairness with the Company's obligation to maintain financial soundness, risk coverage, and operational sustainability.

The Company emphasises that interest rates are not to be used as a mechanism for exploiting vulnerable customers, and therefore adopts this Policy to ensure consistency, fairness, and non-exploitative lending practices.

4. GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE AND BOARD CONTROL

The authority to approve interest rates rests exclusively with the Board of Directors. The Credit Team may formulate pricing proposals based on risk analytics, market benchmarking, cost structures, and business strategy, but no interest rate or pricing decision becomes effective unless it receives explicit approval of the Board.

The Board shall periodically review the interest-rate framework, evaluate product-wise risk-return performance, take note of regulatory developments, and authorise such modifications as may be necessary. The Company shall maintain comprehensive documentation detailing the rationale behind each pricing decision to support audit and regulatory examination.

No director, officer, employee, agent, LSP, DLA operator, or intermediary is authorised to offer or modify interest rates without Board-approved authority.

5. Interest Rate Structure for Payday Loans

The Company's payday-loan product, designed to meet short-term liquidity requirements of borrowers, shall ordinarily carry an interest rate of 1% (one percent) per day. This daily rate reflects the short tenor, high-frequency nature of the product, the accelerated risk associated with the borrower segment, and the immediate liquidity support the product provides.

The Company acknowledges that a rigid, uniform rate may not always align with evolving credit risk patterns, repayment behaviours, customer cohorts, or broader market developments. Accordingly, the daily rate of 1% shall serve as the standard baseline rate, subject to modification only upon recommendation by the Credit Team and mandatory approval by the Board of Directors.

Any deviation—whether upward or downward—shall be thoroughly justified in terms of delinquency patterns, loss behaviour, risk-weighted return expectations, operational costs, fraud trends, or strategic lending considerations. Such revisions shall not be implemented without the Board's express resolution approving the revised structure.

6. INTEREST RATE FRAMEWORK FOR OTHER LOAN PRODUCTS

For all other loan products, the Company shall adopt a flexible yet rigorously governed risk-based pricing framework. The Credit Team shall analyse borrower profiles, tenure, asset class, income stability, repayment history, credit bureau information, operational costs, and market benchmarks to determine an appropriate interest rate.

Risk tiers may be developed internally to distinguish low-risk customers from higher-risk categories; however, at all times, the final rate offered on any product shall require prior approval of the Board of Directors.

The Company shall ensure uniform treatment of borrowers with similar risk characteristics and shall not apply differentiated pricing without well-documented and objective justification. Every product shall maintain a clear pricing rationale based on quantifiable and qualitative metrics, including expected loss rates, cost-to-serve, collection intensity, fraud risks, technology costs, and digital-onboarding expenses.

7. TRANSPARENCY, DISCLOSURE AND CUSTOMER COMMUNICATION

The Company shall disclose interest rates and pricing in a manner that is honest, complete, comprehensible and consistent with the RBI's guidelines on consumer protection and digital lending.

Interest shall always be communicated in annualised percentage terms (APR) even where daily or short-tenor rates are utilised operationally. Borrowers shall receive clear disclosure in the Sanction Letter, Loan Agreement and Key Fact Statement of the total cost of credit, including interest, processing fees, GST (if applicable), third-party charges, and any other cost component.

The Company shall clearly inform borrowers of the effect of delayed payments and shall never conceal or obscure the consequences of non-payment or late payment.

8. PENAL CHARGES AND COMPLIANCE WITH RBI DIRECTIONS

Penal charges shall be levied strictly in accordance with the directives of the Reserve Bank of India. The Company recognises RBI's clear prohibition on capitalising or compounding penal charges into interest and affirms that such charges shall be applied only on the overdue portion of the instalment, not on the entire outstanding loan amount.

Penal charges shall be reasonable, proportionate, and solely intended to discourage delays in repayment, and shall not function as a revenue enhancement mechanism. Borrowers shall be informed transparently at the time of loan sanction of the nature, quantum and methodology for calculation of any penal charges.

9. CONSISTENCY WITH FAIR PRACTICES, ETHICAL CONDUCT AND CUSTOMER PROTECTION

The interest-rate framework shall operate strictly in conformity with the Company's Fair Practices Code, ensuring that all pricing decisions remain non-exploitative and fully aligned with the principles of customer fairness.

Interest rates shall not be structured in a manner that creates undue hardship, misleading or deceptive pricing, or confusing terms. The Company shall ensure that borrowers clearly understand their obligations and that interest rates do not become a source of imbalance or unfairness in the lender–borrower relationship.

10. MIS, MONITORING AND INTERNAL CONTROLS

The Company shall maintain a robust internal monitoring system to analyse interest-rate performance, track borrower behaviour, identify pricing anomalies, assess portfolio yield, and evaluate delinquency trends. Insights generated through this system shall be reviewed by senior management and periodically escalated to the Board to support informed decision-making and oversight.

All pricing decisions, including Board approvals, implementation timelines and communication changes, shall be properly documented and archived for examination by internal audit, statutory audit or the Reserve Bank of India as required.

11. REVIEW, AMENDMENTS AND REGULATORY ALIGNMENT

This Policy shall be reviewed at least once every financial year or earlier if necessitated by changes in market conditions, regulatory developments, supervisory observations, or internal portfolio behaviour.

Any amendment to this Policy shall require the approval of the Board of Directors. Upon approval, the Company shall update its operational manuals, lending systems, website and disclosure repositories to ensure consistency and transparency across all touchpoints.

All digital processes shall at all times remain under the direct control, supervision and monitoring of the Company, and no outsourcing arrangement, technology integration or third-party involvement shall dilute or transfer any regulatory responsibility of the Company.

Senior management shall ensure that all digital platforms and interfaces accurately reflect the Company's approved interest rates, disclosures, terms, KFS, loan agreements, sanction letters, and customer-conduct standards.

The Compliance Officer together with the Risk Management function shall conduct periodic reviews of digital processes, information-security systems, partner integrations, and data-handling practices to ensure continuous regulatory adherence.

The Board shall be kept consistently informed through periodic reports covering the performance of digital lending channels, technology and cybersecurity risks, customer grievances, digital fraud patterns, and key compliance indicators.

5. DIGITAL ONBOARDING, KYC AND CUSTOMER AUTHENTICATION

The Company shall implement RBI-compliant digital onboarding mechanisms to ensure that customer identity verification is carried out strictly in accordance with the applicable KYC Master Directions.

Digital onboarding may be facilitated through Aadhaar-based authentication, CKYC, video-based KYC, digital document upload or any other mode permitted by law; however, all decisions relating to KYC verification, authentication, acceptance or rejection shall be taken solely by the Company. Lending Service Providers (LSPs) and Digital Lending Apps (DLAs) may support the customer in uploading or transmitting documents, or may provide the front-end user interface, but they shall not perform or influence the outcome of the KYC verification process, nor shall they engage in any activity that constitutes KYC approval or rejection.

The Company shall ensure that no customer is onboarded digitally without full completion of the mandated KYC requirements. All digital KYC artefacts, including video recordings, photographs, documents and audit trails, shall be stored securely in compliance with RBI's data storage and security requirements. Access to such artefacts shall be strictly controlled and monitored. One-time access to device features such as the camera, microphone or location shall be taken only with the borrower's explicit, informed consent and strictly for the limited purpose of facilitating KYC or onboarding.

6. DIGITAL LOAN APPLICATION, ASSESSMENT AND APPROVAL

All digital platforms, including those operated through LSPs and DLAs, shall present borrowers with complete, accurate, and easily understandable disclosures covering eligibility criteria, required documentation, interest rates, fees and charges, repayment structures, penal charges, the applicable cooling-off period, and the grievance redressal mechanism. Borrowers shall be given full opportunity to review all loan terms and conditions in detail prior to accepting the loan. These disclosures shall be prominently displayed on the digital interface before any loan execution or acceptance.
