Esaar India Ltd., (EIL) is a Non-Banking Financial Company ("NBFC") registered with the Reserve Bank of India ("RBI") and is engaged in the business of lending and financing.

The Company's liquidity position and funding requirements are managed through its Asset Liability Management ("ALM") framework in accordance with the applicable RBI guidelines. EIL continuously monitors the maturity profile of its assets and liabilities to ensure adequate liquidity and compliance with the regulatory requirements prescribed by the RBI. Accordingly, the holding levels in respect of inventories, trade receivables and trade payables have been disclosed as "Not Applicable."
Accordingly, the Company proposes to utilize an amount of up to Rs. 46.20 cr. from the Net Proceeds towards augmentation of its long-term capital base and resources to support the funding requirements of its lending business.
