We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of Repco Home Finance Limited (the "Company"), which comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2026, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and Standalone Statement of Cash flows for the year then ended and notes to the Standalone Financial Statements, including material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the "Standalone Financial Statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Standalone Financial Statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other accounting principles generally accepted in India of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2026, and its profit including Other Comprehensive Income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements Section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to following matters in financial statements:
1. As described in Note 52.8 (i) to the standalone financial statements, regarding non-recognition of Deferred Tax Liability on Special Reserve created and maintained under Section 36(1)(viii) of the Income tax act and de-recognition of Deferred Tax Liability recognised till December 31, 2025. As stated in the said note, the accounting treatment has been adopted by the company based on the Board approved position of continued maintenance of such special reserve, management assessment under Ind AS 12 and the practice followed by similarly placed institutions.
2. As described in Note 52.8 (ii) to the standalone financial statement, taking into consideration the advisory received from National Housing Bank, the company has reversed interest charged on loans during the FY 2024-25 amounting to ^9.66 Crores through the Statement of Profit and loss of previous financial year 2024-25, in accordance with Ind AS 8 "Accounting policies, Changes in accounting estimates and errors".
Our opinion on the Statement is not modified in respect of the above matters.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter. We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.
|
Key Audit Matter
|
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
|
|
Impairment on Financial Instruments based on Expected
|
Our audit procedures included but were not limited to the
|
|
Credit Loss (ECL) method - (Refer Note 3 for material
|
following:
|
|
accounting policies and Note 7 for financial disclosures in the accompanying standalone financial statements)
(Impairment loss allowance on loans).
|
Read and assessed the Company's accounting policies approved by the Board of Directors with respect to impairment of financial instruments considering the requirement of Ind AS 109 and
|
|
As at March 31, 2026, the Company reported gross loans of t
|
applicable Reserve Bank of India guidelines/ regulations.
|
|
15,940.11 Crores against which provision for expected credit loss of t340.14 Crores has been recorded in accordance with Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments.
|
We evaluated the implementation of relevant regulatory guidelines and pronouncements and tested the same on sample basis.
|
|
Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments, requires the Company to provide for impairment of its financial assets (designated at amortised cost) as at the reporting date using the expected credit loss (ECL) approach in line with the board approved policy
|
We evaluated the management estimates by understanding the process of ECL estimation and related assumptions and tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls around data extraction, validation and computation.
|
|
ECL involves an estimation of probability-weighted loss on financial instruments over their life, considering reasonable and supportable information about past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions which could impact the credit quality of the Company's financial assets (loan portfolio).
|
We assessed the criteria for staging of loans based on their past due status as per the requirements of Ind AS 109. Tested a sample of performing loans to assess whether any SICR or loss indicators were present requiring them to be classified under higher stages.
|
|
In the process, a significant degree of estimation and judgement has been applied by the management for:
|
We tested the assumptions used by the Company for grouping and staging of loan portfolio into various categories and default buckets for determining the probability of default (PD) and
|
|
• Staging of financial assets to Stage 1, 2, or 3 (i.e. classification
|
loss given default (LGD) rates. Tested the input data used for
|
|
in 'significant increase in credit risk’ ("SICR") and 'default'
|
determining the PD and LGD rates and agreed the data with the
|
|
categories);
|
underlying books of accounts and records.
|
|
• Grouping of the loan portfolio under homogenous pools
|
For provision of expected credit loss (ECL) against outstanding
|
|
in order to determine probability of default on a collective
|
exposure classified across various stages, we obtained an
|
|
basis;
|
understanding of the Company's ECL methodology (including
|
|
• Determining effect of less frequent past events on future probability of default;
|
factors that affect the probability of default, loss given defaults and exposure at default; various forward looking, micro-and macro-economic factors), the underlying assumptions and the
|
|
• Estimation of management overlay, for macroeconomic
|
sufficiency of the data used by management and tested the same
|
|
factors which could impact the credit quality of the loans.
|
on sample basis.
|
|
• Compliance with RBI circulars and assess the level of credit
|
We performed tests of controls and test of details on a sample
|
|
impairment of financial instrument.
|
basis in respect of the staging of outstanding exposure, and
|
|
• Disclosures as required by IND AS 109 and RBI Circular.
|
other relevant data used in impairment computation prepared
|
|
In view of the high degree of management's judgement
|
by management as compared to the Company's policy.
|
|
involved in estimation of ECL and the overall significance of
|
We enquired the management regarding significant judgments,
|
|
the impairment loss allowance to the financial statements,
|
estimates involved in the impairment computation, and
|
|
it is considered as a key audit matter.
|
evaluated the reasonableness thereof.
|
| |
We tested the arithmetical accuracy of computation of ECL provision including the management overlay computed by the Company.

Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the "Management Discussion and Analysis FY 2025¬ 26", which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report and the other information included in the Annual report (but does not include the standalone financial statements and our Auditor's Reports thereon), which is expected to be made available to us after that date.
Our Opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Financial Statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
When we read the other information in the annual report, other than "Management Discussion and Analysis FY 2025-26" which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and we shall:
(i) If the material misstatement is corrected, perform necessary procedure to ensure the correction; or
(ii) I f the material misstatement is not corrected after communicating the matter to those charged with governance, take appropriate action considering our legal rights and obligations, to seek to have the uncorrected material misstatement appropriately brought to the attention of users for whom this Auditor’s Report is prepared.
Management's and Board of Director's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)
specified under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Management and Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate Internal Financial Controls with reference to the Standalone Financial Statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management and the Board of Directors.
• C onclude on the appropriateness of the Management's and Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast a significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content ofthe standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our Auditors Report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Other Matters
The comparative financial statements of the company as at April 01, 2024 (except the restatement of deferred tax liability and other equity of the Company amounting to ^183.56 Crores as at April 01, 2024 as stated in note 52 of the standalone financial statements) included in these financial statement, were audited by the predecessor auditor, who have expressed an unmodified opinion on those standalone financial statements vide their audit report dated May 14, 2024.
