CreditAccess Grameen Limited has approved the allotment of ₹300 crore worth of senior, secured, non-convertible debentures through a private placement. The Executive, Borrowings & Investment Committee of the Board authorized the issuance on September 2, 2026.
The issuance is structured into two distinct series to cater to different maturity profiles. Series I comprises ₹100 crore in debentures with a tenure of 24 months, maturing on September 2, 2028. Series II consists of ₹200 crore in debentures with a longer tenure of 36 months, maturing on September 2, 2029.
Issue Structure and Terms
The debentures are rated and listed instruments, proposed for listing on the Wholesale Debt Market segment of BSE Limited. Each debenture carries a face value of ₹1,00,000. The total issue size aggregates to ₹300 crore, split as follows:
| Series | Amount | Tenure | Maturity Date | Coupon Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Series I | ₹100 crore | 24 months | September 2, 2028 | 9.15% p.a. |
| Series II | ₹200 crore | 36 months | September 2, 2029 | 9.25% p.a. |
Interest payments for both series are fixed and payable annually. The principal amounts will be redeemed on their respective final redemption dates. In the event of a payment default exceeding three months, the company is obligated to pay penal charges at 2% per annum over the prevailing coupon rate until the default is cured.
Security and Regulatory Compliance
The debentures are secured by a first-ranking exclusive charge over certain identified book debts and loan receivables of the company. This hypothecation ensures that the value of the secured assets remains at least equal to the outstanding principal plus accrued interest throughout the tenure of the instruments.
The allotment was disclosed pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2015. The company cited compliance with the master circular issued by SEBI dated January 30, 2026, regarding listing obligations. No special rights or privileges are attached to these instruments beyond those outlined in the transaction documents.
