Development Goals ("SDGs"), which indicate a
holistic approach towards social responsibility. The
project-based accountability approach with a focus
on social impact, scale, and sustainability reflects the
Company's commitment to creating shared value for
all stakeholders.

The CSR Policy was amended in April 2026 to reflect
the changes pertaining to adoption of Integrated
Community Development approach, adoption of new
interventions under the existing thrust areas and to
update the name of the Committee.

During the year, the Company spent R 30.29 Cr
in respect of its CSR obligation. During the year,

PARTICULARS OF CONTRACTS OR ARRANGEMENTS
WITH RELATED PARTIES

The Board has approved the policy on transactions
with related parties ("RPT Policy"), pursuant to
the recommendation of the AC. In line with the
requirements of the Act, RBI regulations and the SEBI
Listing Regulations, the Company has formulated the
RPT Policy. The RPT Policy intends to ensure that proper
reporting, approval and disclosure processes are in place
for all transactions between the Company and the related
parties. The RPT Policy is available on the website of
the Company at https://www.ltfinance.com/investors.
Please refer to the section, 'Policy Compendium' for
accessing the RPT Policy.

Key features of the RPT Policy are as under:

• All transactions with related parties ("RPTs")
irrespective of its materiality and any subsequent

material modification to any existing RPTs are
referred to the AC of the Company for prior
approval. The process of approval of RPTs by the
AC, Board and shareholders is as under:

a) Audit Committee:

All RPTs and subsequent material modification,
irrespective of whether they are in the ordinary
course of business or at an arm's length basis
require prior approval of AC.

Only those members of the AC, who are
independent directors, approve RPTs.

RPTs above R 1 Cr, whether entered into
individually or taken together with previous
transactions during a financial year, to which
the subsidiary of the Company is a party,
but the Company is not a party, requires
prior approval of the AC if the value of
such transaction, exceeds the lower of the
following:

(i) 10% of the annual standalone turnover
of the subsidiary as per the last audited
financial statements of the subsidiary; or

(ii) the threshold for material RPT of the
Company

In the event of a RPT above R 1 Cr, if such
subsidiary does not have audited financial
statements for a period of at least one year,
prior approval of the AC of the Company
is obtained if the value of such transaction
exceeds the lower of the following:

(i) 10% of the aggregate value of paid-up
share capital and securities premium
account of the subsidiary; or

(ii) the threshold for material RPT of the
Company

The aggregate value of paid-up share capital
and securities premium account of the
subsidiary is taken as on a date, not older
than three months prior to the date of seeking
approval of the AC.

Prior approval of the AC is not required for
RPTs to which the listed subsidiary is a party
but the Company is not a party, if Regulation
23 and sub-regulation (2) of Regulation 15 of
these regulations are applicable to such listed
subsidiary.

For RPT of unlisted subsidiaries of the
Company as referred above, prior approval of
the AC of the Company is sufficient.

Additionally, all the RPTs are placed before
the AC at regular intervals to ensure that all
necessary requirements are being complied
with. Additionally, the AC reviews the status
of long-term (more than one year) or recurring
RPTs on an annual basis.

Ratification of RPTs:

The members of the AC, who are independent
directors, may ratify RPTs within 3 months
from the date of the transaction or in the
immediate next meeting of the AC, whichever
is earlier, subject to the following conditions:

a. The value of the ratified transaction(s)
with a related party, whether entered
into individually or taken together, during
a financial year shall not exceed R 1 Cr

b. The transaction is not material in terms
of the provisions of Regulation 23(1) of
the SEBI Listing Regulations

the provisions of Regulation 23(9) of the

e. Any other condition as may be specified

render the transaction voidable at the option
of the AC and if the transaction is with a
related party to any Director, or is authorised
by any other Director, the director(s) concerned
shall indemnify the Company against any loss
incurred by it.

b) Board:

Generally, all RPTs are in the ordinary course
of business and at arm's length price.

are not in the ordinary course of business and /
or which requires shareholders' approval are
approved by the Board.

c) Shareholders:

modification thereof, require approval of the
shareholders, based on recommendation of
the Board, through ordinary resolution passed
at the general meeting.

into by a Director or any other employee
without obtaining the consent of the Board
or approval by an ordinary resolution in the
general meeting, it is required to be ratified
by the Board or the shareholders at a meeting,
as the case may be, within 3 (three) months
