(xxii) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, and 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. When the effect of the time value of money is material, the Company determines the level of provision by discounting the expected cash flows at a pre-tax rate reflecting the current rates specific to the liability. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss net of any reimbursement.
Contingent assets/liabilities
A possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which 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; present obligation that arises from past events where 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 are disclosed as contingent liability and not provided for. Contingent assets are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Contingent assets are not recognised in the standalone financial statements.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
Where the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under such contract, the present obligation under the contract is recognised and measured as a provision
(xxiii) Commitments
Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure, classified and disclosed as follows:
a) estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for;
b) funding related commitment to subsidiaries/associates; and
c) other non-cancellable commitments, if any, to the extent they are considered material and relevant in the opinion of management;
d) other commitments related to sales/procurements made in the normal course of business are not disclosed to avoid excessive details;
e) commitments under Loan agreement to disburse Loans;
f) lease agreements entered but not executed.
(xxiv) Statement of Cash Flows
Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flow from operating activities is reported using indirect method adjusting the net profit for the effects of:
i. changes during the period in operating receivables and payables transactions of a non-cash nature;
ii. non-cash items such as depreciation, Impairment, deferred taxes, unrealised foreign currency gains and losses, and undistributed profits of associates and joint ventures; and
iii. all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.
Cash and cash equivalents (including bank balances) shown in the Statement of Cash Flows exclude items which are not available for general use as on the date of Balance Sheet.
(xxv) Dividend payable
Interim dividend declared to equity shareholders, if any, is recognised as liability in the period in which the said dividend has been declared by the Board of Directors. Final dividend declared, if any, is recognised in the period in which the said dividend has been approved by the Shareholders.
The dividend payable is recognised as a liability with a corresponding amount recognised directly in equity.
(xxvi) Business combinations
Business combinations involving entities that are controlled by the Group are accounted for using the pooling of interest method. Assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying value without adjustments being made to reflect fair values. The identity of the reserve are preserved and reserve of the transferor become the reserves of the transferee. The difference, if any, between the amounts recorded as share capital issued and the amount of share capital of the transferor is transferred to capital reserve. The financial information in the standalone financial statements in respect of prior period is restated as if the business combination had occurred form the beginning of the preceding period in the standalone financial statements, irrespective of the actual date of the combination.
The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations where common control does not exist. The consideration transferred by the Company for the acquisition of business comprises of fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred, and the equity interests issued by the Company as at the acquisition date i.e. the date on which it obtains the control of the acquiree. Consideration transferred also includes amounts related to settlement of pre-existing relationships. The acquisition related costs are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred, except to the extent related to the issue of debt (classified as equity as per IndAS) or equity securities, which are directly adjusted in other equity.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values on the acquisition date. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from Goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date.
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired.
Further details and impact of this merger on financial statements of the Company is disclosed in note 44.
(xxvii) Event After reporting date
Where events occurring after the balance sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the financial statements. Otherwise, events after the balance sheet date of material size or nature are only disclosed.

Note 33 : Employee benefit expenses
A. Defined contribution plans
1) Superannuation Fund
The Company makes contribution towards superannuation fund, a defined contribution retirement plan for qualifying employees. The Superannuation fund is administered by superannuation fund set up as Trust by Tata Capital Limited ("the parent Company"). The Company is liable to pay to the superannuation fund to the extent of the amount contributed. The Company recognizes such contribution as an expense in the year of contribution. The Company has recognised ? 2.43 crore (Year ended 31 March 2025 ? 2.40 crore) for Superannuation Fund contributions in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Board of Directors of the Company in its meeting held on June 4, 2024 had approved a Scheme of Arrangement and Amalgamation ("Scheme"), inter alia, involving the amalgamation of Tata Motors Finance Limited (Formerly known as Tata Motors Finance Solutions Limited) ("amalgamating company") with and into Tata Capital Limited. The Hon'ble NCLT vide its Order dated May 1,2025, has sanctioned the Scheme. Upon receipt of all requisite approvals, the Amalgamating Company and the Company have filed the relevant Form with the Registrar of Companies on May 8, 2025. Accordingly, the Scheme has become effective on May 8, 2025 ("Effective Date") and the Amalgamating Company has amalgamated with the Company from the Effective Date. As per the Scheme, the Appointed Date is April 1, 2024.
The contributions towards superannuation, for qualifying employees of the erstwhile company Tata Motors Finance Limited for the year upto the date of order i.e. May 1, 2025 was paid to a superannuation fund administered by the Trustees of the Tata Motors Limited Superannuation Fund.
B. Defined benefit plan
1) Provident Fund
The Company makes Provident Fund contributions, a defined contribution plan for qualifying employees. Under the Schemes, both employees and the Company make monthly contributions at a specified percentage of the covered employees' salary (currently 12% of employees' salary). The contributions, except that the employer's contribution towards pension fund is paid to the Regional Provident Fund office, as specified under the law, are made to the provident fund set up as an irrevocable trust by the Company.
The interest rate payable to the members of the trust shall not be lower than the statutory rate of interest declared by the Central Government under the Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and shortfall, if any, shall be made good by the Company. Hence the Company is liable for annual contributions and any deficiency in interest cost compared to interest computed based on the rate of interest declared by the Central Government. The total liability in respect of the interest shortfall of the Fund is determined on the basis of an actuarial valuation. The interest liability arising only to the extent of the aforesaid differential shortfalls is a defined benefit plan. There is no such shortfall as at March 31, 2026.
The Provident Fund contributions, for qualifying employees of the erstwhile company Tata Motors Finance Limited for the year upto the date of NCLT order (May 1,2025) was paid to provident fund administered by the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner.
The Provident Fund contributions along with the interest shortfall if any are recognised as an expense in the year in which it is determined. The Company has recognised ' 82.60 crore (Year ended March 31,2025'79.74 crore) for Provident Fund contributions and ' Nil (Year ended March 31,2025 ' Nil) for interest shortfalls in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
2) Gratuity
The Company offers its employees defined benefit plans in the form of a gratuity scheme (a lump-sum amount). Benefits under the defined benefit plans are typically based on years of service and the employee's compensation (generally immediately before retirement). The gratuity scheme covers substantially all regular employees. Commitments are actuarially determined at year-end. These commitments are valued at the present value of the expected future payments, with consideration for calculated future salary increases, using a discount rate corresponding to the interest rate estimated by the actuary having regard to the interest rate on Government bonds with a remaining term that is almost equivalent to the average balance working period of employees. Actuarial valuation is done based on "Projected Unit Credit" method. Gains and losses of changed actuarial assumptions are recorded in the Other Comprehensive Income. The Company provides gratuity for employees in India as per payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The gratuity scheme for employees is as under:
There are no statutory minimum funding requirements for gratuity plans mandated in India. However, a Company can fund the benefits by way of a separate irrevocable Trust to take advantage of tax exemptions and also to ensure security of benefits.
The Tata Capital Limited Gratuity Scheme is funded by way of a separate irrevocable Trust and the Company is expected to make regular contributions to the Trust. The fund is managed internally by the Company and the assets are invested as per the pattern prescribed under Rule 67 of Income Tax Rules, 1962. The asset allocation of the Trust is set by Trustees from time to time, taking into account the membership profile, the liquidity requirements of the plan and risk appetite of the plan sponsor as per the investment norms. Each year asset-liability matching study is performed in which the consequences of the strategic investment policies are analysed in terms of risk and return profiles. Investment and Contribution policies are integrated within this study.
The contributions for qualifying employees of the erstwhile company Tata Motors Finance Limited for the year upto the date of NCLT order (May 01, 2025) was paid to the Tata Motors Finance Limited Employee Gratuity Trust.
Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:
1. Interest rate risk: The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.
2. Salary Inflation risk : Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation
3. Demographic risk : This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawals because in the financial analysis the retirement benefit of a short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to a long service employee.
4. Investment risk : For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be the fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of the future discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant changes in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.
5. Legislative risk : Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change in the legislation/regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, thus requiring the companies to pay higher benefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the same will have to be recognised immediately in the year when any such amendment is effective.
Note 34 : Fair values of financial instruments A. Valuation models
The Company measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements:
a) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at measurement date.
b) Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; (i.e. derived from prices). This category includes instruments valued using: quoted market prices in active markets for similar instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered less than active; or other valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data.
c) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the valuation of assets or liabilities that the Company can access at measurement date. This category includes all instruments for which the valuation technique includes inputs that are not observable and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instrument's valuation. This category includes instruments that are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments for which significant unobservable adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect differences between the instruments. Valuation techniques include net present value and discounted cash flow models, income approach, comparison with similar instruments for which observable market prices exist, option pricing models and other valuation models.
The objective of valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value measurement that reflects the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The Company uses widely recognised valuation models to determine the fair value of financial instruments, that use only observable market data and require little management judgement and estimation. Observable prices or model inputs are usually available in the market for listed equity securities. The availability of observable market prices and model inputs reduces the need for management judgement and estimation and also reduces the uncertainty associated with determining fair values.
Discounting of the cash flows of financial asset/ financial liability for computing the fair value of such instrument: the future contractual cash flows of instrument over the remaining contractual life of the instrument are discounted using comparable rate of lending/borrowing as applicable to financial asset/ financial liability in the month of reporting for a similar class of instruments. For shorter tenure financial assets such as channel finance, the remaining tenure is assumed to be six months.
Derivatives held for risk management :
The Company enters into derivatives to mitigate the currency exchange risk and interest rate risk on account of fluctuation in the foreign exchange rates and floating rates towards the principal and interest repayments of external commercial borrowing, medium term notes and letters of credit. Some of these instruments are valued using models with significant unobservable inputs, principally expected long-term volatilities and expected correlations between different underlyings.
B. Valuation framework
The Company has a established a policy for the measurement of fair values addressing the requirement to independently verify the
results of all significant fair value measurements.
Specific controls include:
1) verification of observable pricing basis;
2) analysis and investigation of significant annual valuation movements; and
3) review of significant unobservable inputs, valuation adjustments and significant changes to the fair value measurement of Level 3 instruments compared with the previous year.
When third party information, such as valuation agency report is used to measure fair value, the Company assesses the documents
used to support the conclusion that the valuations meet the requirements of IndAS. This includes:
1) understanding how the fair value has been arrived at, the extent to which it represents actual market transactions and whether it represents a quoted price in an active market for an identical instrument;
2) when prices for similar instruments are used to measure fair value, how these prices have been adjusted to reflect the characteristics of the instrument subject to measurement; and
3) if a number of quotes for the same financial instrument have been obtained, then how fair value has been determined using those quotes.
Investment in subsidiaries and associates:
The Company has elected to measure Investment in subsidiaries and associates at cost and accordingly the requirement of disclosure of fair value of the instrument under IndAS 107 does not apply.
Fair value of the Financial instruments measured at amortised cost
The fair value of loans given is based on observable market transactions, to the extent available. Wherever the observable market transactions are not available, fair value is estimated using valuation models, such as discounted cash flow techniques. Input into the valuation techniques includes interest rates, prepayment rates, primary origination or secondary market spreads. Input into the models may include information obtained from other market participants, which includes observed primary and secondary transactions.
To improve the accuracy of the valuation estimate for retail and smaller commercial loans, homogeneous loans are grouped into portfolios with similar characteristics such as product.
The fair value of borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow techniques, applying the rates that are offered for borrowings of similar maturities and terms.
T bills, Tri Party Repo (TREPS), Government securities are valued based on market quotes.
Note 35 : Risk Management Framework A Introduction;
Risk management forms an integral part of our business as we are exposed to various risks related to our business and operating environment. We have adopted a comprehensive enterprise risk management ("ERM") framework through which we monitor the internal and external risks arising out of macroeconomic factors, regulatory changes and geopolitical scenarios. The ERM framework includes our risk philosophy, approach and oversight structure, and lays down detailed guidelines for risk identification, assessment and monitoring, in line with our business strategies.
Our ERM Framework uses defined key risk indicators based on quantitative and qualitative factors. We have implemented a heat map, a two-dimensional quantitative data management tool, which enables management to have a comprehensive view of 11 identified key risk areas based on their probability and impact. The 11 categories of risks identified and monitored by the Company are credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, process, people, outsourcing, compliance and governance, technology, business continuity, cybersecurity and reputation risk. These key risk indicators align with our strategic objectives and business developments.
The Board is assisted by the Risk Management Committee ("RMC") and is supported by various Board and Senior management committees as part of the risk governance framework to ensure that we have a sound system of risk management and internal controls.

Business Unit Level Committees
There are various committees that exist at the business level for credit sanctions, monitoring and reviews such as Credit Committee (CC), Credit Monitoring Committee (CMC), Credit & Collection review, Retail Risk Review (RRR) for retail business.
a) Credit risk;
Credit aspects in our Company are primarily covered by the Delegation of Authority approved by the Board. Credit underwriting is standardised and there is an increased focus on use of the scorecards. Credit monitoring happens at a portfolio level. Product performance is examined using analytics which forms the basis for policy changes, as well as the rollout of new products / programs or discontinuation of existing products / programs We measure, monitor and manage credit risks at individual borrower and portfolio level. During the course of the year, we recalibrate and realign our underwriting criteria with the prevailing market environment across product lines and the associated digital scorecards, significantly leveraging our risk analytics capabilities. This helps us in refining our credit decisioning as well as granular monitoring of our existing portfolio. Our risk team ensures that our loan portfolio is strictly in line with all internal policies and regulatory guidelines with ongoing improvement of the credit processes. It also identifies, controls and mitigates various types of risks involved in the business, and defines the method to measure and quantify the risks. It also tracks relevant sectors and industries and assesses key industry risks on an ongoing basis along with carrying detailed credit analysis and providing independent opinion to sanctioning committees which ensure that all risks are clearly identified and steps to mitigate are set out and adhere to. Our Company also does portfolio monitoring and portfolio "stress-testing" on a regular basis.
b) Market risk;
Market risk is risk due to change in market prices - e.g. interest rates, equity prices, foreign exchange rates and credit spreads, but not relating to changes in the obligor's/issuer's credit standing and will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of the Company's market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable risk tolerances levels to ensure the solvency and minimum volatility while optimising the balance between profitability and managing associated risks.
Under Liquidity Risk Management (LRM) framework for the Company, ALCO sets up limits for each significant type of risk/ aggregated risk with liquidity being a primary factor in determining the level of limits. The monitoring of risk limits defined as per ALM policy is done by ALCO on regular basis. The Company has Asset Liability Management (ALM) support Company prescribed by RBI which meets on regular basis to ensure internal controls and reviews the liquidity risk management of the Company.
Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk is measured through Interest rate sensitivity report where gaps are being monitored classifying all rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities into various time period categories according to earliest of contracted/behavioural maturities or anticipated re-pricing date. The Company monitors interest rate risk through traditional gap and duration gap approaches on a monthly basis. The interest rate risk limits are approved by the ALCO.
Refer Note No 36 .C.i for summary on sensitivity to a change in interest rates as on March 31, 2026.
Currency Risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk arising due to external commercial borrowings. The foreign currency loan in form of external commercial borrowing (ECB) raised by the Company are fully hedged basis.
The hedging policy as approved by the Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) prescribes the hedging of the risk associated with change in the interest rates and fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. Counter party risk is reviewed periodically in terms of exposure to various counter parties.
The Company's hedging policy guides effective hedging relationships to be considered as hedges as per the relevant IndAS. Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument. The Company enters into hedge relationships where the critical terms of the hedging instrument match with the terms of the hedged item, and so a qualitative and quantitative assessment of effectiveness is performed. All hedges entered by the Company are cash flow hedges.
Refer Note No 36.C.ii for gist of foreign currency risk exposure as on March 31, 2026.
Equity price risk
The Company's investments in equity carry a risk of adverse price movement. To mitigate pricing risk emerging from investments in equity, the Company intermittently observes the performance of sectors and measures MTM gains/losses as per applicable accounting policy of the Company.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity Risk is the risk that a Company will encounter difficulties in meeting its short-term financial obligations due to an asset- liability mismatch or interest rate fluctuations. The liquidity risk is being managed as per ALM policy which has following key elements:
i) ALCO sets the strategy for managing liquidity risk commensurate with the business objectives;
ii) ALCO has set various gap limits for tracking liquidity risk.
iii) The ALM policy is being reviewed on annual basis, including the risk tolerance, process and control. ALCO monitors the liquidity and interest rate gaps on regular basis.
iv) Company manages the liquidity position on a day-to-day basis and reviews daily reports covering the liquidity position. The regulatory compliance to the liquidity risk related limits are being ensured.
v) The Company is fully complied to the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) framework as mandated by RBI.
Company's liquidity risk management strategy are as follows:
a. Maintaining a diversified funding through market and bank borrowings resources such as debentures, commercial papers, subordinated debt, perpetual debt, Inter-corporate deposits (ICD's), overdraft and bank term loans. Unused bank lines as well as High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) maintained under LCR framework constitute the main liquidity back up to meet the contingency funding plan. Additionally, based on Market scenario, the Company also maintains a portfolio of highly liquid mutual fund units.
b. The Company complies with the ALM guidelines and submits various returns and disclosures in accordance with the regulatory guidelines.
c. The Company carries out liquidity stress testing based on the cash flows and results are reported to ALCO on periodic basis. The Company has contingency funding plan in place which monitors the early warning signals arising out of company specific and market wide liquidity stress scenarios.
The Company has honoured all its debt obligations on time. Based on liquidity risk assessment, cash-flows mismatches are within the stipulated regulatory limits. The Company has been successful in maintaining the adequate liquidity by raising fresh/renewal of bank lines, regular access to capital market and financial institution under the various schemes promulgated by RBI to raise medium to long term funds. Owing to the above measures, the Company has not seen a rise in its liquidity risk.
Refer Note No 36.B for the summary of Maturity analysis for Company's financial liabilities and financial assets as on March 31,2026.
c) Operational Risk
Operational Risk has been defined as "The risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events". The risk of direct or indirect potential loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated with the Company's processes, personnel, systems, or from external factors other than strategic and reputation risk Management of operational risk forms an integral part of Company's enterprise wide risk management systems. The organisation thrives towards incremental improvements to its operational risk management framework to address the dynamic industry landscape. Clear strategies and oversight by the Board of Directors and senior management, a strong operational risk management culture, effective internal control and reporting and contingency planning are crucial elements of Company's operational risk management framework.
The operational risk team monitors and reports key risk indicators ("KRI") and KRI exceptions. Suitable risk mitigation actions are taken wherever required to curtail the potential risk at the acceptable levels.
Company has a Business Continuity Planning "BCP" framework in place, to ensure uninterrupted business operations in case any disruptive event occurs. Company also has an IT Disaster Recovery Planning "IT-DRP" which provides the technology framework to continue day-to-day operations using secondary/back-up systems when primary system fails. It also protects the organisation against loss of computer-based data and information.
ORMC meets periodically to review the operational risk profile of the organization and oversee the implementation of the risk management framework and policies. There have been no reported Operational Risk incidents leading to significant losses.
d) Fraud Risk
We have adopted a Board approved Fraud Risk Management framework. It has an effective & very strong fraud risk governance mechanism that encompasses controls covering below objectives:
1. Prevent (reduce the risk of fraud from occurring)
2. Detect (discover fraud when it occurs) and
3. Respond (take corrective action and remedy from the harm caused by fraud).
The changing business landscape and digitization has heightened the level of fraud risk in the environment arising due to new methods, schemes and technology. We will continue to invest in our fraud prevention and detection capabilities to protect our stakeholders.
e) Compliance Risk
We have a Compliance Risk Management framework in place, guided by a Board approved Compliance Policy, which lays down the roles and responsibilities towards ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the role of the Compliance Department in monitoring compliance.
f) Cyber Security Risk
The Information Security Policy has been designed to provide an overview of the information security requirements and describe the controls that may be used to meet these requirements. It defines the overall framework for information security risk management. It documents the expected behaviour of system, data and information users. The Cyber Security Policy contains the approach to combatting cyber threats and cyber crisis management plan addressing detection, response, recovery and containment.
g) Reputation Risk
Reputational risk is defined as risk arising from negative perception on the part of customers, shareholders, investors, debt holders, media reports that can adversely affect our ability to maintain existing or establish new business relationships and continued access to sources of funding. Our governance culture supported by sound risk management is aimed at ensuring we remain resilient during challenging periods and forge a sustainable future for the organization.
D Internal Control Systems :
Our internal control system is designed to ensure operational efficiency, protection and conservation of resources, accuracy and promptness in financial reporting and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The internal control system is supported by an internal audit process for reviewing the design, adequacy and efficacy of our internal controls, including our systems and processes and compliance with regulations and procedures. Our internal audit function is required to provide an independent assessment to the Board on the effectiveness of implementation of our risk management framework, including the overall adequacy of the internal control system and compliance with internal policies and procedures. The internal audit reports are then discussed with the management and are reviewed by the Company's Audit Committee.
Further, our management has laid down internal financial control framework covering set of standards, processes and structure across the organization with reference to financial and non-financial controls to ensure that controls are adequate and are operating effectively. Internal finance control framework has been established in line with the Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission and Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Testing is performed for each control through an independent firm, on behalf of our management, confirming the adequacy and effectiveness of controls and highlighting material deficiencies or design ineffectiveness of controls, if any.
E Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP):
Tata Capital has put in place a Board approved ICAAP policy which is designed to identify, assess, and manage all risks that could significantly affect our financial positions or capital adequacy. It makes a thorough internal assessment of the need for capital, commensurate with the risks in our business on similar lines as prescribed for commercial banks under Pillar 2. ICAAP assessment process address these risks to ensure the stability and soundness of our operations, protecting our business and capital adequacy from potential threats and stressed scenarios.
Derivatives held for risk management purposes, not designated as hedging instruments:
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk related to external commercial borrowings, medium term notes and letter of credit and the primary risk of change in the floating interest rate and payment in foreign currency towards principal and interest at future date is managed by entering into a interest rate swap and foreign exchange forward rate purchase agreement respectively. The Corporation's risk management strategy and how it is applied to manage risk is explained in Note 35.
The cross currency interest rate swap and foreign exchange forward contracts and options are entered to fully hedge the risk on account of change in interest rate and foreign exchange fluctuations on account of the external commercial borrowings, medium term notes and letter of credit.
Interest rate swap and cross currency swap has been taken in respect of the same contract for which forward or option contract has been entered, accordingly notional value of Interest rate swap and cross currency swap is not shown separately
ii Collateral and other credit enhancements
The amount and type of collateral required depends on an assessment of the credit risk of the counterparty.
The main types of collateral obtained are as follows:
For corporate and small business lending, first charge over real estate properties, plant and machineries, inventory and trade receivables, equity and debt securities, floating charge over the corporate assets are obtained. For Construction equipment finance, the asset is hypothecated to the Company.
For retail lending, loan against properties over residential/commercial properties is obtained. For vehicle and tractor loans, the respective movable asset is hypothecated to the Company.
The table represents categories of collaterals available against the loan exposures:
Assets obtained by taking possession of collateral
The Companies collection policy is to pursue timely realisation of the collateral in an orderly manner. The Company upon a customer account becoming delinquent, undertakes the process to physically repossess properties or other assets with the help of external agents to recover funds, to settle outstanding debt. The Company allows the borrower to repays the overdue loan amount and take back the repossessed assets. If the repossessed assets are sold, any surplus funds if any received are returned to the customers/obligors. As a result of this practice, the residential properties, vehicles, construction equipments and tractors repossessed are not recorded on the balance sheet and not treated as non-current assets held for sale; however assets received upon final settlement of the loan is recorded in the balance sheet.
Management monitors the market value of collateral as per the Credit monitoring process and will request additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement as applicable.
As on March 31,2026, the Company has given loan against shares / equity oriented mutual funds / debt securities amounting to '18,441.96 crore (As on March 31,2025'13,979.98). The customer has the obligation to maintain Loan to Value (LTV) of 50% as per RBI norms for shares and equity oriented mutual funds at any point in time, failing which the Company has right to make good the shortfall within 7 working days.
The Company has written-off loans (net of recoveries) of ' 2,413.19 crore during the period ended March 31, 2026 (March 31, 2025 : ' 1,803.15 crore). The Company retains its contractual right against the obligor and may pursue all remedies to recover these dues.
The table represents categories of collaterals and corresponding valuation available against the Stage 3 assets :
iii Amounts arising from ECL
Accounting policy on Impairment allowance on financial asset is covered in note 2 (xi)
Inputs, assumptions and estimation techniques used for estimating ECL
1) Inputs:
When determining whether the risk of default on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company's historical experience, expert credit assessment and including forward looking information.
The Company allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on days past due, which is a quantitative factor that indicates the risk of default. Additional qualitative factors are applied such as fraudulent customer and reschedulement of loans are also considered as qualitative factor.
These factors are applied uniformly for each lending product. Upon review the committee may conclude that the account qualifies for classification as stage 2 since there is increase in credit risk. The determination of the credit risk is for each product, considering the unique risk and rewards associated with it. The Company has observed varied level of risk across various buckets within each stage and a significant increase in risk in stage 2, based on assessment of qualitative parameters such as decline in net-worth, downgrade in internal ratings and external ratings for Corporate, SME Finance and Cleantech Division.
The objective of the ECL assessment is to identify whether a significant increase in credit risk has occurred for an exposure by comparing the remaining lifetime probability of default (PD) as at the reporting date; with the remaining lifetime PD for this point in time that was estimated at the time of initial recognition of the exposure and adjusted for changes on account of prepayments.
In assessing the impairment of loan assets under expected credit loss (ECL) Model, the loans have been segmented into three stages based on the risk profiles. The three stages reflect the general pattern of credit deterioration of a financial instrument.
Refer note 2(xi) in Significant accounting policies for definition of Stages of Asset
2) Assumptions:
The Company has applied following assumptions for determination of ECL.
a) "Loss given default" (LGD) is an estimate of loss from a transaction given that a default occurs.
b) "Probability of default" (PD) is defined as the probability of whether the borrowers will default on their obligations in the future. For assets which are in Stage 1, a 12-month PD is required. For Stage 2 assets a lifetime PD is required while Stage 3 assets and POCI are considered to have a 100% PD.
c) "Exposure at default" (EAD) represents the expected exposure in the event of a default and is the gross carrying amount in case of the financial assets held by the Company including loan commitments.
d) Definition of default: A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make the contractual payments within 90 days of when they fall due. Accordingly, the financial assets shall be classified as Stage 3, if on the reporting date, it has been more than 90 days past due. Further if the customer has requested forbearance in repayment terms, such restructured, rescheduled or renegotiated accounts are also classified as Stage 3. Non-payment on another obligation of the same customer is also considered as a stage 3. Defaulted accounts include customers reported as fraud in the Fraud Risk Management Committee (FRMC). Once an account defaults as a result of the Days past due condition, it will be considered to be cured only when entire arrears of interest and principal are paid by the borrower.
e) Forward looking information
The Company incorporates forward looking information into both assessments of whether the credit risk of an instrument has increased significantly since its initial recognition and its measurement of ECL. Based on the consideration of a variety of external actual and forecast information, the Company forms a 'base case' view of the future direction of relevant economic variables such as real GDP, domestic credit growth, money market interest rate etc. as well as a representative range of other possible forecast scenarios. This process involves developing two or more additional economic scenarios and considering the relative probabilities of each outcome. The base case represents a most likely outcome in a normal distribution curve while the other scenarios represent more optimistic and more pessimistic outcomes with equal weightage.
f) Assessment of significant increase in credit risk
The credit risk on a financial asset of the Company are assumed to have increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due. Additionally, accounts identified and reviewed by the Executive committee for labelling as breaching pre-defined critical credit risk parameters will also be classified as stage 2. Accordingly, the financial assets shall be classified as Stage 2, based on the quantitative as well as qualitative factors.
3) Estimation techniques:
The Company has applied the following estimation technique for ECL model:
a) The Company has used historic default rates for calculating the 12-month PD and Lifetime PDs
b) Loss given default is calculated after considering outstanding at the time of default and adjusting for actual recoveries basis time value of money,
c) Credit risk monitoring techniques
Exposures are subject to ongoing monitoring, which may indicate that a significant increase in credit risk has occurred on an exposure. The monitoring typically involves use of the following data for Corporate and Retail exposures:
Overdue status
Restructuring, reschedulement of loans and requests for granting of forbearance Fraudulent customer
Accounts classified by SICR committee indicating significant increase in credit risk
d) Days past due are a primary input for the determination of the PD for exposures. The Company collects performance and default information about its credit risk exposures analysed by product. For some portfolios, information published in Basel IRB norms is also used.
e) The Company employs statistical models to analyse the data collected and generate estimates of the remaining lifetime PD of exposures and how these are expected to change as a result of the passage of time. Such statistical models are selected considering the availability of information related to the probability of default for each product.
This analysis includes the identification and calibration of relationships between changes in default rates and changes in key macro-economic factors. Key macro-economic indicators includes but are not limited to Private consumption, Real GDP, Consumer prices, Long-term bond yield, Unemployment rate, Gross fixed investment rate, etc.
For the purpose of determination of impact of forward looking information, the Company applies various macro economic (ME) variables as stated above to each product and assess the trend of the historical probability of defaults as compared to the forecasted probability of default. Based on the directional trend of output, management applies an overlay if required. Overtime, new ME variable may emerge to have a better correlation and may replace ME being used now.
f) Based on advice from the external risk management experts, the Company considered variety of external actual and forecast information to formulate a 'base case' view of the future direction of relevant economic variables as well as a representative range of other possible forecast scenarios. Such forecasts are adjusted to estimate the PDs.
g) Predicted relationships between the key indicators and default and loss rates on various portfolios of financial assets have been developed based on analysing historical data over the past 5 years.
h) A maximum of a 12-month PD or actual contractual tenure is considered for financial assets for which credit risk has not significantly increased. The Company measures ECL for stage 2, stage 3 and POCI assets considering the risk of default over the contractual period over which it is exposed to credit risk.
i) The loans are segmented into homogenous product categories and further risk-based cohorts (for certain products) to determine the historical PD/LGD. This segmentation is subject to regular review.
j) For portfolios in respect of which the Company has limited historical data, external benchmark information is used to supplement the internally available data.
k) Techniques for determining LGD:
LGD is the magnitude of the likely loss if there is a default. The Company estimates LGD parameters based on the history of recovery rates against defaulted counterparties. The LGD models consider the cash flow received and assets received in lieu of settlement of loan. LGD estimates are calculated on a discounted cash flow basis using the contractual interest rate (approximation to expected EIR) as the discounting factor. The Company has adopted collection curve method for computation of loss given defaults to determine expected credit losses. In the Absence of observed history of default, LGD applied is based on Basel IRB norms for certain products.
l) Techniques for computation of EAD
EAD represents the expected exposure in the event of a default. The Company derives the EAD from the current exposure to the counterparty. The EAD of a financial asset is its gross carrying amount. For lending commitments, the EAD includes the amount drawn, as well as potential future amounts that may be drawn under the contract, which are estimated based on credit conversion factor for various loan commitments.
When estimating ECL for undrawn loan commitments, the company estimates the expected portion of the loan commitment that will be drawn down over its expected life. ECL is the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due to the Company if the holder of the commitment draws down the loan and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive if the loan is drawn down.
4) Modified financial assets:
The Company renegotiates loans to customers in financial difficulties (referred to as forbearance activities, restructuring or rescheduling) to maximise collection opportunities and minimise the risk of default. Under the Companies forbearance policy, loan forbearance is granted on a selective basis if the debtor is currently in default on its debt or if there is a high risk of default, there is evidence that the debtor made all reasonable efforts to pay under the original contractual terms and the debtor is expected to be able to meet the revised terms.
The revised terms usually include extending the maturity, changing the timing of interest payments and amending the terms of loan covenants. Both retail and corporate loans are subject to the forbearance policy. The Risk Management Committee regularly reviews reports on forbearance activities.
Upon renegotiation, such accounts are classified as stage 3. Such accounts are upgraded to stage 1 only upon observation of satisfactory repayments for at least one year from the commencement of the first payment of interest or principal (whichever is later) and atleast 10% recovery of amount outstanding as on date of restructuring.
Stage 3 accounts acquired under business combination are classified as Purchased or Originated Credit Impaired (POCI). As per IND AS 109, such accounts will continue to be classified as POCI till closure.
Pursuant to RBI Covid restructuring policy, accounts for which Covid restructuring facility were given have been reclassified from Stage I to Stage II if DPD at invocation was between 0-30 and If the DPD was 30 then the accounts were further downgraded within Stage II and corresponding staging wise ECL provision was done.
See accounting policy in Note 2(xviii)

Note 50 : Business Combination:
A. Acquisition of Tata Motors Finance Limited (FY 2024-25)
The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on June 4, 2024 had approved a Scheme of Arrangement for amalgamation ("Scheme"), inter alia, involving the amalgamation of Tata Motors Finance Limited (Formerly known as Tata Motors Finance Solutions Limited) ("Amalgamating Company"), which is a public limited company, incorporated on 16th June 1992 with and into Tata Capital Limited ("Company/Amalgamated Company") and the consequent dissolution of the Amalgamating Company without being wound up, and the issuance of the New Equity Shares (as defined hereinafter) to the equity shareholders of the Amalgamating Company in accordance with the Share Exchange Ratio (37 equity shares of face value of ' 10/- each of Amalgamated Company shall be issued and allotted as fully paid up for every 100 equity shares of the face value of ' 100/- each fully paid up held in Amalgamating Company), and various other matters consequential, incidental, supplementary or otherwise integrally connected therewith, with effect from the Appointed Date under the provisions of Sections 230 to 232 read with Section 52, Section 66 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act (as defined hereinafter) and the rules made thereunder, and in compliance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act.
The Amalgamating Company is a non-banking financial company operating as a non-banking financial company - Investment and Credit Company ("NBFC-ICC"). The Amalgamating Company is also registered with the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India ("IRDAI") as a corporate agent in terms of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (Registration of Corporate Agents) Regulations, 2015.
The Reserve Bank of India vide its letter dated October 3, 2024 conveyed its No-Objection to the Scheme. The Scheme was approved by the Shareholders (Equity and Preference) and the Creditors (Secured and Unsecured) of the Company at the NCLT convened meetings of the Shareholders and Creditors held on January 16, 2025 and January 17, 2025, respectively. The Hon'ble NCLT vide its Order dated May 1, 2025, has sanctioned the Scheme. Upon receipt of all requisite approvals, the Amalgamating Company and the Company have filed the relevant Form with the Registrar of Companies on May 8, 2025. Accordingly, the Scheme has become effective on May 8, 2025 ("Effective Date") and the Amalgamating Company has amalgamated with the Company from the Effective Date. As per the Scheme, the Appointed Date is April 1, 2024.
As per IndAS 103, the amalgamation has been accounted under "acquisition method". On Business Combination, purchase consideration has been allocated on a provisional basis, pending final determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities. The difference between the purchase consideration and provisional fair value has been accounted as goodwill/capital reserve on amalgamation, as applicable.
The merger of the entities has been undertaken to achieve greater scale, creating a larger unified financial services entity with an expanded geographical reach, strengthened capital and asset base. The consolidation is expected to generate significant synergies, enhancing value for all stakeholders. By combining resources, the merged entity will be able to drive diversification and offer integrated solutions to a broader customer base. Additionally, the merger will provide differentiated growth opportunities for employees. Both parties involved have a proven track record in their respective credit businesses, and consolidating these strengths will facilitate the pooling of knowledge and expertise, contributing to the long-term success and sustainability of the combined organisation.
The difference between the purchase consideration and amount attributable to identified intangible assets / assets and liabilities represents residual goodwill in the business. As a result of the merger, the Company receives customer information such as names, contact information, historical credit provided and repayment information, etc. of existing customers of TMFL and vice versa. This information can further be divided into different customer profiles based on demography, zones, age groups, etc., which helps businesses target products/services according to their target audience that will be used by the merged entity to gain synergies from cross selling its products. Consequently, the Goodwill in the transaction subsumes the above synergy benefit, along with assembled workforce, future potential of the new branches that are planned to open, new customers, new geographies etc. None of the goodwill recognised is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
In accordance with IndAS 103, TMFL and TCL had a "pre-existing relationship" prior to the business combination, which was contractual in nature. This relationship involved a building leased by TMFL to TCL. This pre-existing relationship was effectively terminated when the Tata Capital Limited acquired Tata Motors Finance Limited. As a result, the balances related to this pre-existing relationship as of March 31, 2024, have been eliminated in the merged financial statements.
B The Scheme of Arrangement for amalgamation of Tata Motors Finance Limited (formerly known as Tata Motors Finance Solutions Limited) ("TMFL"), a subsidiary of TMF Holdings Limited, with and into Tata Capital Limited ("TCL") ("the Scheme") became effective on May 8, 2025 ("Effective Date"). TMFL stands amalgamated with TCL from the Effective Date. As per the Scheme, the Appointed Date is April 1,2024.
In accordance with IndAS 103 - Business Combinations, the Company had initially recognised the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of TMFL based on a provisional fair valuation as at March 31, 2025.
As permitted under IndAS 103, the Company utilised the measurement period to finalise the fair valuation of identifiable assets and liabilities, considering additional information about facts and circumstances that existed as at the Appointed Date.
During this measurement period, the Company reassessed the provisional fair values and, based on additional information obtained, identified that certain financial assets had lower recoverable values than previously estimated. These adjustments primarily relate to inherent credit weaknesses and historical deficiencies that existed as at the Appointed Date and are not expected to be remediated.
Accordingly, an adjustment of ' 145.32 crore (net of tax amounting to ' 48.87 crore) has been recognised to the provisional fair values, with a corresponding impact on goodwill. In line with IndAS 103, such adjustments have been recorded retrospectively within the measurement period. Further, in accordance with the Scheme, the goodwill arising on amalgamation has been adjusted against the Securities Premium Account as at March 31, 2026, based on the final fair valuation report.
