Board approval and transaction details
The board of Capital India Finance approved the transfer of assets related to the foreign exchange business operating under the brand name "RemitX".

The buyer is not part of the promoter group or group companies of Capital India Finance.
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Company | Capital India Finance |
| Action | Transfer of RemitX forex assets |
| Transferee | Kanji Forex Private Limited |
| Consideration | ₹11.4 crore |
| Approval Date | August 31, 2026 |
| Expected Completion | October 31, 2026 |
The consummation of the transfer is subject to receiving requisite regulatory approvals and fulfilling terms under the APA. Following the transfer, Capital India Finance will apply to the Reserve Bank of India to surrender its Authorised Dealer Category-II (AD-II) Licence.
Strategic realignment and lending growth
The proposed transaction is part of Capital India Finance's strategic realignment to sharpen its focus on its core lending business, which remains the Company's primary growth engine. Following the divestment of Capital India Home Loans Limited in FY26, the RemitX transaction represents another step in simplifying the portfolio and concentrating resources on lending operations.
Keshav Porwal, Managing Director of Capital India Finance, said: "Over the past few years, we have been steadily reshaping Capital India around businesses where we see the strongest long-term opportunity and ability to create sustainable value. This transaction is another step in that journey and will allow us to sharpen our focus on our tech enabled lending franchise."
Over the past six years, RemitX has built a presence across 32 locations in more than 16 states, creating an established distribution network for its Forex and cross-border services. The transaction will enable the business to build on this foundation with Niyo.
Amit Talwar, CEO of Niyo Forex, said: "RemitX brings three things for Niyo that cannot be built quickly: a branch network that reaches customers where they live, partner relationships and a team that has been running this business together for years."
Financial impact and regulatory context
For the financial year ended March 31, 2026, the RemitX business contributed ₹2,492.81 lakh to consolidated turnover, representing a 4.68% share. The net asset deployed for the unit stood at ₹2,825.50 lakh as on March 31, 2026, accounting for 4.20% of the total. However, only net assets valued at ₹2,777.83 lakh are excluded from this specific transaction scope.
The transaction does not fall under related party transactions or slump sale provisions. It is also outside the ambit of Regulation 37A of the SEBI Listing Regulations as the RemitX business does not constitute an undertaking of the company. The deal was disclosed under Regulations 30 and 51 of the SEBI LODR Regulations, 2015.
Lending momentum and capital position
Capital India Finance's lending business has continued to build momentum. In Q1 FY27, the Company reported a 32% YoY increase in standalone total income to Rs 69.53 crore, while disbursements grew 36% YoY and AUM expanded approximately 20% YoY. The Company remained strongly capitalised, with a Capital Adequacy Ratio of 43.58% as of June 30, 2026.
Capital India Finance has also strengthened its distribution network, expanding from 29 locations to 46 branches across nine states. This follows a year in which the Company's AUM grew 22% YoY to Rs 1,227.37 crore in FY26, while disbursements increased 62% YoY to Rs 753.54 crore.
