OPERATIONS :

The Indian Economy has been passing through a stagnant phase for the last two years which has affected industry and Finance companies/ Banks tremendously. The outlook on India in the last couple of years had become bearish with infrastructure projects (which are the backbone of any economy) languishing due to no clear policy of the then Government. Many industries/projects shut down or did not take off from the drawing board. All these factors led to the finance sector including Banks coming under tremendous pressure from collection of loans from Industry.

NPA''s of all major finance companies/Banks have increased to a great extent. There was intention by the entities who have taken loans to repay, but the stagnant economy and drying up of new projects, which led to vast overcapacities across sectors, had forced them to defer payments with consultations with the lenders.

With a new Government having been formed in at the Central level there is a wave of optimism in industrial and financial sectors and with decisions being taken for clearances of projects of over 21000 crores by the Government, there is full hope of high growth for the economy which would result in the financial sector gaining back its robust health.

Your Company is in the policy of giving short term loans which are fully backed by Assets/securities of at least 1.25-1.50 times the value of outstanding loans. Moreover the loans are given based on scrutiny of paying capacity and risk involved. Certain exposures to a group of companies who have good and long relationship in the past have become NPAs. CIL has good relationship with them but due to unforeseen developments in the said groups( due to economic conditions prevalent in the country), the repayment commitments could not be met in time by them on due dates and even subsequently. Though the Company is fully confident of recoveries in these accounts. However as a prudent business practice and as per the rules prescribed by RBI the company has made provisioning in such accounts. This has resulted in net loss during the financial year.

With respect to the loan given to Mr. Pawankumar Sanwarmal, your company has received an amount of Rs. 2,09,87,500/- which was in reconciliation as on the date of Balance Sheet ( Pl refer Auditors report). A provision of 10% has been made on the outstanding balance amount i.e on Rs. 42,02,83,250/- according to the Reserve Bank of India norms.

However, the said group of accounts are secured by mortgage of properties which are more than sufficient to cover the entire dues from the said group. During the year 2014-15, the management is confident of realising these dues.

With respect to the Capital Advance given to Mr. Amit Dhanuka towards purchase of property, your company has made a provision of 10% instead of 100% as per RBI norms. This is mainly because your company has received near about half of the amount i.e Rs. 2,82,34,788/- out of the total amount during the financial year and made a 10% of the provision on the balance amount i.e on Rs. 3,1 7,98,134/-.

A provision of 10% has been made on the outstanding balance amount i.e on Rs. 42,02,83,250/- according to the Reserve Bank of India norms.

However, the said group of accounts are secured by mortgage of properties which are more than sufficient to cover the entire dues from the said group. During the year 2014-15, the management is confident of realising these dues.

With respect to the Capital Advance given to Mr. Amit Dhanuka towards purchase of property, your company has made a provision of 10% instead of 100% as per RBI norms.
