SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE LAST FINANCIAL PERIOD
In the opinion of the Board of Directors of our Company, since the date of the last financial statements disclosed in this Red Herring Prospectus, there have not arisen any circumstance that materially or adversely affect or are likely to affect the business activities or profitability of our Company or the value of its assets or its ability to pay its material liabilities within the next twelve months.
FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our business is subjected to various risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the section titled " Risk Factors" on page 32. Our results of operations and financial conditions are affected by numerous factors including the following:
We heavily rely on information technology systems which may be subject to vulnerabilities, disruptions, failures, or data breaches and thus may have the potential to negatively impact both our operations and our reputation. Additionally, our ability to succeed is contingent on our capacity to innovate, update, and adjust to emerging technological advancements.
A substantial portion of the revenue is generated from our banking partners. Our banking partners are regulated by the RBI and any change in the RBIs policies, decisions and regulatory framework could adversely affect our business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.
We derive a portion of our revenue from the fee and commission that we charge from our customers against our services. Any failure to earn revenue from such activities may have a negative impact on our financial performance.
We heavily rely on our front-end network partners. If we are unable to attract new network partners or retain and grow our relationships with our existing network partners, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects would be materially and adversely affected.
Security breaches and attacks against our tech platform, and any potential breach of or failure to otherwise protect personal, confidential and proprietary information, could damage our reputation and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
BASIS OF PREPARATION, MEASUREMENT AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
This Restated Financial Information has been specifically prepared for the purpose of preparation of the Restated Ind AS Statements in connection with the proposed Initial Public Offer of equity shares ("IPO"), prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act.
The Restated Financial Information has been prepared to comply in all material respects with the requirements of:
A. Section 26 of Part I of Chapter III of the Companies Act, 2013 (the "Act");
B. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018, as amended ("ICDR Regulations");
C. The Guidance Note on Report in company prospectus (Revised 2019) issued by the ICAI (referred to as the Guidance Note).
1.2 Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Parent Company, and its subsidiaries. Control exists when the parent has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power over the entity. Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the entity s returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.
The financial statements of the Group companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and intra-Group balances, transactions including unrealised gain / loss from such transactions and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated upon consolidation. These financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies in use at the Group.
Noncontrolling interests which represent part of the net profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries that are not, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by the Company, are excluded.
The difference between the cost of investment in the subsidiaries, over the net assets at the time of acquisition of shares in the subsidiaries is recognised in the financial statements as Goodwill or Capital Reserve, as the case may be.
1.3 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of Restated Financial Information in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
1.4 Property, Plant & Equipment and Intangibles
Plant, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition or constructions including attributable borrowing cost till such assets are ready for their intended use, less of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost of acquisition for the aforesaid purpose comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its location and working condition for its intended use, net of trade discounts, rebates and credits received if any.
Intangible assets are recognized when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the assets will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding the amount at which development cost is capitalised, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is charged to Statement of profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Developed Technology/ Software and Non- Compete acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Company amortises intangible assets over the period of 3 to 10 years, as the Company expects to generate future benefits from the given assets for a period of 3 to 10 years.
The charge in respect of periodic depreciation/ amortization is derived after determining an estimate of an assets expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The assets residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. Depreciation is calculated on a written down value over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Useful lives used by the Company are same as rates prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013. The range of useful lives of the property, plant and equipment are as follows:
:Particulars | Useful Lives |
Plant and Equipment (Lift) | 15 years |
Plant and Machinery (Micro-ATM) | 3 years |
Computer Software | 3 years |
Computers | 3 years |
Motor cars | 8 years |
Furniture & Fixtures | 10 years |
Office Equipment | 5 years |
1.5 Right -Of-Use Asset
Ind AS 116 requires the lessee to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Company has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Company applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customisation to the leased asset).When it is reasonably certain to exercise extension option and not to exercise termination option, the Company includes such extended term and ignore termination option in determination of lease term.
The Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The Company has taken indicative rates from its bankers and used them for Ind AS 116 calculation purposes.
1.6 Leases
The Group evaluates at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Company as Lessee
The Companys leased assets consist of leases for Buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract contains 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 in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:
A. the contract involves the use of an identified asset
B. the Company has substantially all the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and
C. the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with periods covered by an option to extend the lease, where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
The Company at the commencement of the lease contract recognizes a Right-of-Use (ROU) asset at cost and corresponding lease liability, except for leases with term of less than twelve months (short term leases) and low-value assets. For these short term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The cost of the ROU assets comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the inception date of the lease plus any initial direct costs, less any lease incentives received. Subsequently, the ROU assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. ROU asset are depreciated using the straightline method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of ROU assets. The estimated useful lives of ROU assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment.
For lease liabilities at the commencement of the lease, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determined, if that rate is not readily determined, the lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow funds, including the consideration of factors such as the nature of the asset and location, collateral, market terms and conditions, as applicable in a similar economic environment.
After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made.
The Company recognizes the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use assets. Where the carrying amount of the right of-use assets is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Group recognizes any remaining amount of the re-measurement in statement of income.
Lease liability payments are classified as cash used in financing activities in the statement of cash flows.
Short-term leases and leases of low-valued assets
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of lease hold land (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipments that are low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low- value assets are recognized as expense in statement of profit and loss.
1.7 Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)
The Companys obligation on account of gratuity is determined based on 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 rates.
Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, these liabilities are highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for the specific countries. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the respective countries.
1.8 Revenue Recognition
Timing of Revenue Recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when performance obligation related to the services are completed and the amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. The Company has generally recorded the income on the basis of point of time as and when the performance obligations are satisfied.
As the Company is acting as a Business Correspondent of various Banks and Payment Banks and engaged in the business of Domestic Money Transfer (DMT), IMPS, AEPS, Mobile Recharges, Railway and Air Tickets, Cash Collection Services, EMI Collection Services and other incidental business through its agents/channel partners network, the revenue of the company is service charges received for various transactions, onboarding fees of merchants, sale of recharges etc.
Service Charges on Banking Correspondent Services & Non-Banking Correspondent Services Service Charges are generally determined as a percentage of transaction value executed by the network partners of the company. Service Charges received on various transaction services (DMT, IMPS, AEPS, EMI Collection, Insurance, Ticket Bookings, etc.) provided through the Companys portal is recognised when the transaction is executed successfully. Service Charges are accounted on net-off Goods & Service Tax.
Onboarding Income
Onboarding Income is recognised as and when network partners are enrolled with the company and is included under the head "Revenue from Operations" in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Sale of Recharges
Revenue from sale of recharges is recognised when the transaction is carried out successfully on the portal of the company. Revenue in respect of the same is recognised on gross basis on the amount of recharge net-off goods and service tax.
Sale of Devices & Intangibles
Revenue for Sale of Devices is recognised when the devices are dispatched to network partners and are accounted, net off, returns, trade discounts and Goods & Service Tax.
Foreign Exchange Sold
Revenue is recognized only when it is reasonably certain and when all significant risks and rewards of ownership of currency have been passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of currency and are accounted, net off, returns, trade discounts and Goods & Service Tax.
Commission Income on Insurance
Commission and brokerage income earned for the services rendered are recognised as and when they are due.
Interest Income
Interest is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable and when no significant uncertainty of its realization exists
1.9 Taxes
Provision for the Current Tax is made on the basis of the amount of tax payable on taxable income for the year in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961.
1.10 Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the Balance Sheet approach on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with Income-tax Act, 1961 for entities in India, which gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognized as an asset in the restated balance sheet when it is highly probable that the future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Group having reasonable certainty that it can be utilized against the normal taxes payable under the Income-tax Act, 1961.
1.11 Exceptional items
Certain occasions, the size, type or incidence of an item of income or expense, pertaining or the ordinary activities of the Company is such that its disclosure improves the understanding of the performance of the Company, such income or expense is classified as an exceptional item.
1.12 Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
1.13 Foreign currencies
The Companys financial statements are presented in INR, which is also the Companys functional currency. For each entity the Company determines the functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.
Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency, using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction. At each balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing exchange rate.
Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting at each balance sheet date of the Companys monetary items at the closing rate are recognised as income or expense in the period in which they arise. Non-monetary items, which are measured in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency, are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items, which are measured at fair value denominated in a foreign currency, are translated using the exchange rate at the date when such fair value was determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items is recognised in line with the gain or loss of the item that gave rise to translation difference (i.e. translation difference on items whose gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or the statement of profit and loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income or the statement of profit and loss respectively).
1.14 Fair value measurement
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.
1.15 Borrowing costs
a. Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as a part of the cost of such asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily requires a substantial period of time (generally over twelve months) to get ready for its intended use or sale.
b. All other borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred.
1.16 Provisions, Contingent liabilities, Contingent assets and Commitments:
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, 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. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation 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; or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because 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.
A contingent asset is disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Commitments include the amount of purchase order (net of advances) issued to parties for completion of assets.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
1.17 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of twelve months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
1.18 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period adjusted for bonus elements and share split in equity shares, if any, issued during the period/year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a right issue, shares split and reserve share splits (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders after taking into account the after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares and the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares
1.19 Segment Accounting:

Furthermore, foreign exchange sales increased from ? 466.30 lakhs in the financial year ended March 31, 2022 to ? 76,174.64 lakhs in the financial year ended March 31, 2023 due to ease of travel restrictions post-pandemic which initiated cross-border movement increasing the demand for money changing services. Also, the Company upgraded its FFMC license in March 2022 enabling them to establish multiple branches PAN India instead of a single branch operation.
In addition to the uptick in product sales, the company experienced a rise in service sales. The revenue from business correspondent services increased from ? 11,466.58 lakhs in the financial year ended March 31, 2022 to ? 17,013.97 lakhs in the financial year ended March 31, 2023, mainly due to increase in partner networks.
The revenue from non-business correspondent services also increased from ? 3,833.98 lakhs in the financial year ended March 31, 2022 to ? 5,319.04 lakhs in the financial year ended March 31, 2023.

Profit After Tax
The Companys revenue from operations grew exponentially from Rs. 18,825.26 lakhs in financial year 2022 to Rs. 1,06,659.37 lakhs in financial year 2023 representing a revenue growth of 466.58%. This is mainly attributable to the uptick in sale of products in financial year 2023 which experienced a revenue growth of 2292.14%. The sale of services grew at the stable growth rate of 46.19%. In spite of increased revenue from operations, the Companys PAT and PAT margin declined from Rs. 555.03 lakhs to Rs. 488.71 lakhs and 2.95% to 0.46% respectively. This is because of the following reasons:
1) Continuation of increased commission pay outs to the merchants/network partners/customers under sale of services to increase its customer base as part of its strategy.
2) The Companys wholly owned subsidiary named Reliassure Insurance Brokers Private Limited experienced loss in its first year of operation of insurance broking business in the financial year 2023 amounting to Rs. 40.47 lakhs which leads to a decline in consolidated profit. This has also contributed to decline in gross margin from sale of services segment from 18.38% to 18.22%.
