The Directors have pleasure in presenting the Management Discussion and Analysis Report
for the year ended on 31st March, 2022. This Report has been included in
consonance with the Code of Corporate Governance as approved by the Securities and
Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
The Management of the Company is presenting herein the overview, opportunities, threats
and overall strategy of the Company and its outlook for the future. This outlook is based
on Managements own assessment and it may vary due to Economic and other future
developments in the Country.
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
India has emerged as the fastest growing major economy in the world as per the Central
Statistics Organisation (CSO) and International Monetary Fund (IMF). According to the
Economic Survey 2021-22 the Indian economy is expected to grow at 7 to 8.25 per cent
during FY 2020-21, despite the uncertainties in the global market. Uncertainties, however,
continue to loom over the global economy, which could have a cascading effect on the
Indian economy. The build-up of financial vulnerabilities remains a key concern.
Non-financial corporate debt has also grown rapidly in some emerging markets,
necessitating a policy response. Other factors that could impact global investments are
increase in trade barriers and regulatory realignments, while a rise in commodity prices
could also adversely affect the non-OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting
Countries) markets.
The overall forecast for the coming years appears positive, with growth rates for many
of the Eurozone economies having been revised upwards. Germany, Italy and the Netherlands
are, in particular, reflecting stronger momentum in domestic demand and higher external
demand. In EMDEs (Emerging Markets & Domestic Economies), pickup of growth in
commodity exports (forecast to rise to an average of 3.1% in 2021-22) is expected to boost
growth to an average of 4.7% in 2020-21.
The Advance Estimates released by the Central Statistics Office, the growth rate of GDP
at constant market prices for the year 2020-2021 is placed at 7.0%, as against 6.5% in
2021-22. The major driver for this estimate is the Government final consumption
expenditure in the current year.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
There are several large and profitable opportunities for NBFCS and the sector plays an
important role in the Indian Financial system. The key is for the NBFC sector to grow in a
prudential manner while focusing on financial innovation and in having in place, the
adequate risk management systems and procedures before entering into risky areas.
The Indian financial services sector, comprising of a range of institutions from
commercial and co-operative banks, pension funds and Non-Banking Financial Companies
(NBFCs) to Mutual Funds, insurance companies, etc., is diverse and expanding rapidly. Over
the years, the Government of India has initiated several reforms to liberalize this
industry and expand its reach to individuals in the hinterlands and Micro, Small and
Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in need of credit and other financial services. Adding a
further dimension, the Government and RBI have also allowed new entities such as Payment
Banks and Small Finance Banks to enter the financial sector.
Financing needs in India have risen with the notable growth recorded by the economy
over the past decade. NBFCs have played a major role in meeting this need, complementing
banks and other financial institutions. The regulator constantly endeavours to balance the
multiple objectives of financial stability, consumer and depositor protection and
regulatory arbitrage concerns.
The financial sector in India predominantly comprises of the banking sector, with
commercial banks accounting for more than 58% of the total assets held by the financial
system. Flowever, the role of the NBFC sector has been growing. The balance sheet of the
NBFC sector expanded by 16.5% during financial year 2021-22. Despite the growth, NBFCs
managed their asset quality better than the banks. Gross bad loans of the NBFC industry
stood at 4.4% in March 2019, down from 4.9% in September 2020, when banks in general
witnessed a rise. Net NPAs as a percentage of total advances also declined from 2.7% to
2.3%.
STRENGTHS:
At MIFLwe provide financial services through simple processes and simple procedures in
sanction and disbursement of credit as well as timely, friendly and flexible terms of
repayment aligned to the unique features of its clientele. Easy and fast appraisal and
disbursements make the Company the preferred choice for many of its customers Customer
Insight:
CHALLENGES:
Newer regulatory updates pose a constant challenge for smooth operations of the
Company. With constant updates governing the functional aspects of financial institutions,
there lie unseen challenges in the coming years. Focus on a particular market segment
might affect the Companys portfolio & sustainability.
OPPORTUNITIES:
Business opportunities for finance companies are enormous as the new areas and segments
are being explored. A larger segment of customers remain un-served by Banks and large
sized Finance Companies. Your Company on its part is also well poised to seize new
opportunities as they come. A rural middle income boom has led to rise in rural incomes.
This has been fuelled by increased support prices and welfare schemes initiated by the
government. Per capita Gross Domestic Product has grown faster in Indias rural areas than
in its urban centers. New opportunities like home equity, personal finance, and a foray
into factoring and bill payment for the rural hard-to-reach customer may take the Company
to new scales of success.
RISING PER CAPITA INCOME:
Increase in per capita income leads to creation of increasing wealth and positively
impacts disposable incomes. This results in a significant investment multiplier effect on
the Indian economy, further leading to increasing consumerism and wealth creation and
positively impacting savings. Rising per capita income and stability in economic growth
have played a role in increasing the pace of urbanization in the country. One of the
notable factors behind the growth in the housing industry has been easy availability of
finance. Availability of low interest rate finance has increased disbursement of loans
among several financial players.
THREATS:
The major threat being faced by finance companies are regulatory changes, interest
rates hiked by RBI, high inflation etc. The Company is also facing stiff competition from
banks / financial institutions due to their ability to raise low cost funds which enables
them to provide funds at much cheaper rate. Higher cost of funds might lead to reduced
bottom line for the Company. Also, a lesser interest spread, or higher cost of lending
might lead to customers turning away to cheaper source of funds. Asset quality
deterioration may not only wipe the profits out of the Company but eat into its net worth.
The Company must ensure it maintains minimal delinquency levels.
WEAKNESS:
The Company does not have strong network & link at remote areas of villages. The
Company has significant business presence in the state of West Bengal only. The Company
does not have all India based network and establishments to reach out to large segment of
people in the country in both semi- urban and rural areas whereas more than 90% of the
unorganized sector has no link with banks and 60% of the rural consumers do not have bank
accounts.
RISKS & CONCERNS
As a NBFC, your Companys growth and profitability are dependent on the functioning of
Capital Markets. The Company is exposed to several market risks like credit risk,
liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The volatility of the capital markets in which your
Company operates is also a major cause of concern to the Company.
Risk is managed by using a set of credit norms and policies, as approved by the Board.
MIFL has a structured and standardized process including customer selection criteria,
comprehensive credit risk assessment, which encompasses analysis of relevant quantitative
and qualitative information to ascertain the credit worthiness of the borrower.
