Auditor's Conclusion
Based on the procedures performed and according to the information, explanations, and management representations received, the statutory auditors stated that nothing came to their attention that would cause them to believe that Paisalo Digital has not maintained the minimum required security cover as per the terms of the Key Information Document, Debenture Trust Deed, and the Listing Regulations. The report was issued solely for submission to the Stock Exchanges and Debenture Trustees and is restricted to that purpose, as stated under the Restriction on Use clause of the auditor's report.
The filing was submitted to BSE by Company Secretary Manendra Singh on behalf of Paisalo Digital Limited on May 10, 2026.
Historical Stock Returns for Paisalo Digital
| 1 Day | 5 Days | 1 Month | 6 Months | 1 Year | 5 Years |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +3.71% | -5.29% | +17.52% | +38.69% | +32.73% | +52.52% |
How might Paisalo Digital's relatively thin security cover ratios (ranging from 1.22 to 1.40) impact its ability to raise additional NCD funding in the near term?
Given that over 63% of Paisalo Digital's loan book is pledged under pari-passu arrangements with bank borrowings, how could a deterioration in asset quality affect the company's debt servicing capacity?
Will Paisalo Digital look to diversify its funding mix beyond secured NCDs and bank term loans to reduce concentration risk as its balance sheet grows?
