Finkurve's bonds: the company, the group and the promise

You own, or are being offered, an 11% to 12% bond from Finkurve Financial Services, a gold loan lender that trades as Arvog and belongs to the Augmont group. This study explains how the company earns the money to pay it, who stands ahead of you, and what each rating agency says, then gives every bond its own card and a monthly routine for checking it. Each fact carries its source and date, with the company's own position beside it wherever one is on record.

1What stands behind my bond?

Every listed bond here carries a BBB or BBB+ rating (section 5).

Finkurve Financial Services Limited (FFSL) is a non banking financial company: a lender registered with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) that does not take deposits. It lends under the brand Arvog. From Dec 2024 to Jun 2026 it sold non convertible debentures (NCDs), bonds that can never turn into shares, in pieces of ₹10,000 and ₹1 lakh. Each one is a loan to FFSL alone. Their ISINs, the 12 character codes printed on a demat statement, all start INE734I.1, 7

What the company lends against

At 30th Jun 2026 FFSL managed loans of ₹1,270.4 crore. That includes ₹38 crore of co-lending, loans it found and serviced while a partner lender funded most of them. 95.9% of the book was gold loans, 3.3% personal loans and 0.8% other loans, through 118 branches.10 At 31st Mar 2026, 54.24% of the book was in Telangana, 28.10% in Andhra Pradesh, 11.19% in Karnataka, 2.62% in Tamil Nadu and 1.78% in Maharashtra.7

A gold loan is a loan against jewellery. The borrower hands the jewellery over, the lender keeps it in a vault and lends a part of its value. That part is the loan to value (LTV). FFSL's GID cites RBI's cap of 75% in its risk factors; its product note describes gold loans "with a LTV of below 85%". Its average LTV was 72.2% in the quarter to Mar 2026 and 77.3% in the quarter to Jun 2026, and 94.68% of the book at 31st Mar 2026 was lent at 70% to 80% of the gold's value.1, 10, 7

The average gold loan was about ₹1.5 lakh to ₹1.87 lakh, for about 10 months, at a yield of about 19% to 20% a year.1, 10, 15 Interest builds up each month. When the borrower repays, the jewellery goes back. When the borrower does not, the lender can sell the gold at an auction under its auction policy. FFSL's GID states that it cannot assure it "will be able to auction such pledged gold jewellery at prices sufficient to cover the amounts under default", and that auctions can be delayed.1

How a gold loan works

A sketch of the idea, with made up figures at the 75% loan to value cap that Finkurve’s GID cites

The gap between the gold and the loan is what protects the lender if the price of gold falls or interest builds up.

The difference between the gold's value and the loan is the lender's cushion. A fall in the price of gold shrinks it, and so does unpaid interest, which adds to what the borrower owes. FFSL publishes no count or value of its auctions.

On the FY26 earnings call the chief executive said NPAs are cleared "either via repayment or by auction, but auction anyways is very, very less in our case". The CFO said 99% of the book was in Stage 1, less than 30 days past due.11

The personal loan book

FFSL also makes short personal loans through partner apps. Its digital lending page names 2: PAYME, whose lending service provider is Huey Tech Private Limited, and Salary Now, whose provider is KKSV Business Services Private Limited.28 The GID gives an average ticket of ₹8,000 and an average term of 27 days. CARE reports interest rates of about 45% a year on this book.1, 13

A loan becomes a non performing asset (NPA) once it is 90 days past due. CARE reports that FFSL writes off unsecured personal loans "once they cross 82 days past due". A loan written off on day 82 leaves the books before it reaches the 90 day line, so its loss appears as a write off, not as an NPA.14

In FY26, the year to 31st Mar 2026, FFSL wrote off ₹21.32 crore of loans. Its gross NPA was ₹4.04 crore at the start of the year and ₹1.37 crore at the end, after ₹30.22 crore of new NPAs and ₹11.57 crore of other reductions.7

CARE records no write offs in the gold loan book in FY25 and FY26, and that write offs "continued in the unsecured personal loan and SME segments".14

Sections 2 and 3 follow the money: who owns and runs the company, and where the cash for a coupon comes from. Section 4 sets out who stands ahead of you. Sections 5 to 8 read the opinions and the paper: the ratings, the promises, the record, and what falls due when. Section 9 gives every bond its own card, section 10 is a monthly routine for a holder, and section 11 is the position on 23rd Oct 2026.

Every bond on this page is a loan to one company, FFSL: a gold loan lender with a small personal loan book run through partner apps. No other company or person guarantees the bonds.

Most of FFSL's links to other companies run through its owners, so the next section starts there.

2Who owns and runs it?

FFSL was incorporated in Mumbai on 15th Mar 1984 as Sanjay Leasing Limited, and listed on BSE after a public issue in Jul 1984. The GID gives 23rd Mar 1984, the date the company could begin business. RBI registered it as an NBFC on 9th Mar 1998.24, 1

How the Kothari family came to control it

On 25th Mar 2010, 6 buyers led by Ketan Kothari agreed to buy 20.13% of the company from its founding families, and made an open offer to other shareholders at ₹33 a share. Ketan Kothari joined the board on 10th Dec 2010. In 2012 the company took the name Finkurve Financial Services, and an allotment of 9,00,000 shares to Ketan, Mohinidevi and Kalawati Kothari took the promoter group to 73.12%.24, 1 The promoters are the people who control a company; FFSL's GID names 4: Ketan Kothari, Mohinidevi Kothari, Kalawati Kothari and Devkumari Kothari.1

One of the 6 buyers of 2010 was Rakesh Manekchand Kothari, whom the Augmont Enterprises prospectus and the 2010 letter of offer list as a son of promoter Devkumari Manekchand Kothari.23, 24 A press report (Outlook Business, 25th Aug 2026, citing Moneycontrol) identifies him as the subject of an Enforcement Directorate case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act; in that case the Gujarat High Court rejected his habeas corpus petition on 9th Aug 2023 (R/SCR.A 4247 of 2015), and on 23rd Aug 2023 the Supreme Court dismissed his appeal as not pressed and left him free to seek bail.43, 41, 42 He is not named as a promoter in FFSL's GID of 28th Nov 2025, holds no role at FFSL, and FFSL's offer documents do not mention the case.1

Outside investors bought shares in Apr 2019 (Nexpact and Rishabh Jewellers), Jan 2020 (Muthoot Bankers) and May 2025, when FFSL raised ₹111.5 crore from shares and warrants.1, 13 In Feb 2022 it sold its forex subsidiary, Arvog Forex, to the Indian arm of Revolut.1, 44

At 31st Mar 2026 the promoter family held 56.24%: Mohinidevi Kothari 28.92%, Ketan Kothari 18.23%, Kalawati Kothari 6.46% and other family members the rest. The largest outside holders were Muthoot Bankers, through partner Thomas John Muthoot, with 13.15%, Rishabh Jewelers with 5.79% and Nexpact with 5.29%.7

The Augmont group

The GID states: "FFSL is a part of the 'Augmont' Group". Augmont is the Kothari family's bullion business: refining, trading, and the digital gold app Gold For All.1, 15 Its main company, Augmont Enterprises Limited, listed on BSE and NSE on 31st Aug 2026 after an ₹825 crore IPO at ₹788 a share.23, 38 Its prospectus names FFSL as its Group Company no. 1 and part of its promoter group, lists all 11 listed FFSL ISINs, and states that FFSL ran Augmont's 106 Gold For All centres in 4 southern states at 31st Mar 2026.23

No Augmont company owns FFSL, and FFSL owns none of them; CARE describes the link as a common promoter family.13 Augmont Goldtech sourced FFSL's gold loans from Oct 2020 to Jun 2024. From Jul 2024, CRISIL reports, FFSL's own branches source them and Augmont's role has been "curtailed to technology and brand provider".15 FFSL paid Augmont Goldtech fees of ₹10.27 crore in FY24, ₹4.13 crore in FY25 and ₹6.57 crore in FY26.1, 7

Finkurve is not a subsidiary of any Augmont company; the link is the family that controls both.

The board and the chief executive

FFSL's board had 7 directors on 23rd Oct 2026: Ketan Kothari, the non executive chairperson; Priyank Kothari, executive director since 17th May 2021; C. VR. Rajendran, a non independent director from Apr 2026 and a former MD of CSB Bank; and 4 independent directors. Each director carries a DIN, the number the government gives every company director.7, 18

2 of the independent directors, Nishant Ranka (DIN 06609705) and Cavale Narayanarao Raghupathi (DIN 08846510), have also been independent directors of Augmont Enterprises since 12th Jun 2025; Nishant Ranka also sits on the boards of Augmont Goldtech and Ideal Fiscal Services, both Augmont companies. Riddhi Tilwani, an FFSL independent director until 30th Jun 2024, is listed in the Augmont prospectus as an independent director of an Augmont subsidiary.23, 1, 26

The GID and KIDs list each director's other boards, including the Augmont ones. No company statement on the shared directors was found to 23rd Oct 2026.1, 7

Amit Shroff, chief executive from 13th Dec 2022, resigned with effect from 31st Oct 2025, giving personal reasons. Naveen Kottala, appointed on 13th Nov 2025, joined on 18th Nov 2025 and resigned with effect from 20th Oct 2026 "to pursue other professional opportunities". Siddharth Purandare is appointed chief executive from 13th Dec 2026. The filings name no interim chief executive for 21st Oct to 12th Dec 2026; that is a gap in what is disclosed, not proof of a vacancy. The GID of 28th Nov 2025 names no chief executive.22, 21, 1

The board outcome of 1st Oct 2026 describes Siddharth Purandare's 23 years in lending, including more than a decade at Edelweiss Retail Finance. No other statement on the changes was found.21

A pledge of promoter shares

A pledge hands shares to a lender as security; the lender can sell them if the loan is not repaid (pledging bonds).

Ketan Kothari had pledged 1,50,00,000 FFSL shares, 10.71% of the company, to Muthoot Exim Private Limited, recorded as a "third party pledge". It was released in 2 lots: 90,75,000 shares disclosed on 8th Apr 2026 and 59,25,000 shares on 13th Apr 2026. A revised disclosure of 30th Apr 2026, filed after an exchange query, corrected the share of the company from 6.48% to 10.71%. Muthoot Bankers holds 13.15% of FFSL; no filing read links the pledgee to the shareholder. The Augmont prospectus names Muthoot Exim among Augmont's channel partners.20, 7, 23

The release filings do not say whose borrowing the pledge secured. No company statement on it was found.20

The Kothari family controls FFSL and the Augmont bullion group. FFSL is not a subsidiary of any Augmont company; the links are the family, 2 shared independent directors, a service agreement with Augmont Goldtech, and loans from companies tied to the promoters.

Those loans are part of how FFSL pays its own lenders, which is the next question.

3Where does the money for my coupon come from?

On 13th Aug 2026 an analyst asked why FFSL's return on average loan assets had fallen to 2.9% while its loans grew. The CFO answered:

if our lending yields are at 20%, our average cost of funds or cost of borrowing to say is about 11% to 11.5%, that's the range with an opex cost of about average 6% to 7%, right? That hardly leaves us anything, 100 to 200 bps kind of a pre-tax return

Aakash Jain, CFO, Q1 FY27 earnings call, 13th Aug 2026

He was speaking of lending yields across the book, not of gold loans alone. A basis point (bps) is 0.01%, so 100 to 200 bps is 1% to 2%.12

A lender pays its bondholders out of that gap. Interest comes in each month from borrowers. Out of it the company pays interest on its own borrowings (the finance cost), its staff and branches, and its credit cost: the loans it writes off or sets money aside for. What is left is profit. Bond principal falls due in larger lumps. A lender usually repays it from loans that fall due, from new borrowing (refinancing) or from new equity.

Sources: GID and KID 071151, 7; FY26 audited results8; results and investor presentation for the quarter to 30th Jun 20269, 10. FFSL has no subsidiary, so these are its standalone accounts. Its return on average loan assets was 4.2% in the quarter to Jun 2025 and 2.9% a year later.10

A small book, a large share of revenue

On the FY26 call the CFO said "the personal loan book is almost 3.9% of our overall AUM, it contributes almost 30% of our overall revenue". Fees and commission paid out, which he describes as "the outflow to the Fintech partners after retaining our hurdle rate", were ₹69.73 crore in FY26, about 34% of revenue from operations of ₹207.22 crore (33.6%, our calculation). A hurdle rate is the return FFSL keeps before the partner's share.11, 8

Personal loans earned far more per rupee lent than gold loans; much of that income was passed on to the apps that found the borrowers.

The CFO said FFSL plans to grow the personal loan book "in proportion to our AUM, which is not more than 10% of our overall AUM".11

Where the borrowed money comes from

At 31st Mar 2026 FFSL owed ₹835.93 crore. ₹697.20 crore was secured: NCDs ₹293.25 crore with interest, bank term loans ₹171.40 crore, term loans from other NBFCs ₹221.98 crore and bank overdrafts ₹10.58 crore. ₹138.73 crore was unsecured.7 By 30th Jun 2026 NCDs were 48.6% of borrowings, term loans 37.6%, and overdrafts, short loans and inter corporate deposits 13.8%. Listed secured NCDs rose from ₹299.14 crore at 31st Mar 2026 to ₹493.12 crore at 30th Jun 2026.10, 8, 9 The CFO said FFSL had "more than 24,000 bondholders as of 30th June".12

A lender that grows its loans faster than its profit borrows the difference. FFSL's operating cash flow, which counts new loans as money going out, was minus ₹566.1 crore in FY26, against ₹659.3 crore raised from financing.8

Loans from companies linked to the promoters

An inter corporate deposit (ICD) is an unsecured loan from one company to another. A related party is a company or person tied to FFSL's owners or managers, as the accounts define it.

At 31st Mar 2026 FFSL owed ₹135.4 crore of unsecured inter corporate loans (principal). Of this, ₹130.4 crore is shown as repayable on demand: ₹67.6 crore from related parties and ₹62.8 crore from others. The borrowing table of the same KID labels every one of these loans "Perpetual". The related lenders were Aranath Real Estate (₹54.52 crore), HR Commercials (₹9.15 crore) and Augmont Enterprises (₹3.11 crore in one table, ₹3.90 crore in another); the largest other lender was CLN Properties (₹55 crore).7

On 8th Jul 2026 shareholders approved raising the limit for loans from Aranath Real Estate from ₹100 crore to ₹200 crore. Approved limits for loans from 5 related parties came to ₹525 crore: Aranath ₹200 crore, Augmont Enterprises ₹200 crore, Augmont Goldtech ₹50 crore, Ideal Fiscal Services ₹50 crore and HR Commercials ₹25 crore, each covering principal and interest outstanding. All are unsecured, with interest "as may be mutually agreed" and repayment "as per mutually agreed terms".18

The money once ran the other way. FFSL lent ₹238.75 crore to related parties during FY23 and ₹139.87 crore during FY24, short term and unsecured; these are amounts lent during each year, not balances. In FY25 it borrowed ₹136.70 crore from related parties and repaid ₹105.76 crore; in FY26 it borrowed ₹237.63 crore and repaid ₹207.77 crore.2, 1, 7

Plate FK.4

The money changed direction in FY25

Loans given to or taken from related parties during each year, gross, ₹ crore, from the related party tables in Finkurve’s offer documents. Smaller flows the other way, ₹5 crore taken in FY24 and ₹0.52 crore given in FY25, are too small to draw

These are amounts lent or borrowed during the year, much of it repaid within the year, not balances.

The GID states that the lending policy does not provide for loans to related parties; the same GID's FY24 table shows ₹139.87 crore lent to related enterprises. The postal ballot notice of Jun 2026 lists FY25 transactions "between Aranath Real Estate Private Limited and Finkurve" of ₹107.62 crore "grant of loan" and ₹134.13 crore "acceptance of loan", without saying who lent to whom. The ₹134.13 crore matches FFSL's FY26 borrowing from Aranath in KID 07115.1, 18, 7

No company explanation of the ₹107.62 crore entry was found. The KID for 07107 caps loans to related parties at 15% of net worth.6

Equity still to come

A warrant is a right to buy a new share later at a price fixed today.

PRK Trust, a promoter entity, holds 51,28,105 warrants priced at ₹78 each. It paid ₹10 crore upfront; the ₹30 crore balance is due only if it converts the warrants into shares within 18 months of allotment, which falls in late Nov 2026. The monitoring agency's report noted a share price of ₹62 on 24th Jul 2026. The same report records that the share and warrant issue, planned at ₹157.11 crore, was cut to ₹141.50 crore because some proposed buyers did not take part.19

On the Q1 FY27 call the chief executive said about ₹30 crore "is to come, the deadline is up to November". CARE expects the promoters to put in about ₹30 crore through the warrants in FY27.12, 14

FFSL's coupons come from the difference between about 20% earned on loans and 11% to 11.5% paid on borrowings, after costs. Personal loans, about 4% of the book, brought almost 30% of FY26 revenue. Retail bonds are about half of what FFSL borrows, and companies tied to its promoters lend it money repayable on demand, under limits of ₹525 crore.

If that money runs short, a bondholder turns to what was set aside for the bond.

4Who stands ahead of me?

The KID for FFSL's 11.33% bond 07107 describes its security as a "first ranking and exclusive hypothecation on the identified receivables of gold loan portfolio of the Company equivalent to at least 1.10x".6

A bond is secured when specific assets are set aside that holders can claim if the company does not pay. A hypothecation is a charge over assets that stay with the company. Here the assets are receivables: the money FFSL's own borrowers owe it. Exclusive means no other lender shares those receivables. A security cover of 1.10 times means ₹110 of loans set aside for every ₹100 of bond principal and interest. Behind each of those loans sits the borrower's gold, held by FFSL. The order works like a queue at a counter that may run out of cash (chapter 12, weird bonds): secured lenders stand at the front for the assets charged to them, and unsecured lenders stand behind.

The KIDs set rules for which loans may go into the pool: loans FFSL made itself, not pledged to anyone else and not restructured; gold loans up to 60 days past due, with at most 10% of the pool at that level; non gold loans current and at most 10% of the pool; no loans to related parties; and no branch above 10%. "The security cover shall be confirmed by the Issuer on a monthly basis."6

The security cover certificate filed with the June 2026 quarter's results states an asset cover of 110% at 30th Jun 2026 on ₹489 crore of secured NCD principal and ₹4.12 crore of interest.9 Bank and NBFC term loans of ₹393.38 crore and overdrafts of ₹10.58 crore were also secured at 31st Mar 2026, on charges of their own (our sum).7 Each KID calls its charge exclusive. No pool size for each ISIN is published, so a holder cannot see from public filings which loans back which bond.6, 7

The same certificate states that "The Company has complied with all the covenants in respect of outstanding Secured Redeemable Non-Convertible Debentures as on June 30, 2026". The GID states that FFSL has given no corporate guarantee or comfort letter.9, 1

Each listed bond has a first claim on its own pool of gold loan receivables, at 1.10 times what is owed, with the borrowers' gold behind those loans. There is no guarantee. Banks and NBFC lenders hold charges on other receivables, and the ₹138.73 crore of unsecured loans stands behind every secured lender.

How likely the promises are to be kept is what rating agencies try to judge.

5What do the rating agencies say?

Since 30th Mar 2026 2 agencies have rated FFSL's NCDs one notch apart: CRISIL at BBB/Stable and CARE at BBB+/Stable. Infomerics rates a third set of borrowings IVR BBB+/Stable.15, 14, 17

A credit rating is an agency's opinion of how likely a borrower is to pay interest and principal in full and on time (chapter 10, judging a company bond). Each step on the scale is a notch: BBB+ sits one notch above BBB, which sits one above BBB−. An outlook is the agency's view of the likely direction; Stable means no change is expected.

India Ratings, ICRA, BrickworkNone foundNo rating on FFSL foundTo 23rd Oct 2026

Sources: CARE13, 14; CRISIL15, 16; Infomerics17; KIDs2, 6. No downgrade, negative outlook, rating watch or Issuer Not Cooperating tag at any agency was found to 23rd Oct 2026. Whether CRISIL also rates the NCDs issued after CARE was appointed was not confirmed from the documents read.

The rating record begins in 2017. SMERA, now Acuité, rated a proposed ₹75 crore NCD B/Stable on 18th Jan 2017 and withdrew it on 9th Jan 2019 at the company's request, as the NCDs were never issued. Infomerics rated FFSL IVR BBB−/Stable from 31st Jul 2021, IVR BBB from 16th Sep 2022 and IVR BBB+ from 10th Feb 2026. CRISIL's first rating, BBB/Stable on bank loans, came on 11th Jul 2024, and CARE's on 30th Mar 2026.17, 15, 14

What each agency says it relies on

Agencies rate different things on different information, and each says what its rating rests on.

CARE: the ratings "reflect the company's adequate capitalisation, supported by recent equity infusion and healthy internal accruals, and the promoter's established track record in the gold ecosystem", and are "constrained by FFSL's moderate operating track record, relatively small scale of operations, and moderate resource profile", as well as "geographical and product concentration and exposure to gold price volatility".14

CRISIL: the rating factors in "adequate capital position, supported by comfortable earnings profile, strong promoter profile and experienced management". "These strengths are partially offset by small scale of operations, limited seasoning of portfolio and modest resource profile."15 Seasoning is how long loans have been on the books; a young book has not yet been through a full cycle of repayments and defaults.

Infomerics points to "Sustained Growth in AUM Levels", "Healthy NIM" and "Comfortable Capitalisation levels", with total CRAR of 47.13% at 30th Sep 2025.17

What would move each rating down

AgencyStated triggers for a downgradeThe company's figure, dated
CARE, 15th Jun 2026Gross NPA or Gross Stage 3 above 3% on a sustained basis; return on total assets below 2% on a sustained basis; overall gearing above 4 timesGross NPA 0.54% and debt to equity 2.88 times at 30th Jun 2026; return on total assets 3.04% in FY26, as CARE gives it
CRISIL, 5th Feb 2026"Deterioration in asset quality, leading to negative impact on profitability"; "Weakening of capital position, with increase in gearing to over 5 times"Gearing 2.88 times at 30th Jun 2026
Infomerics, 10th Feb 2026"Substantial deterioration in the AUM size impacting capital position, liquidity, and profitability"; "Decline in collection efficiency"AUM ₹1,270.4 crore and collection efficiency 98.0% in the quarter to Jun 2026

Sources: CARE14; CRISIL15; Infomerics17; company figures9, 10. Gearing here is borrowing divided by net worth. Gross Stage 3 is the accounting name for loans 90 days or more past due.

No company statement on the ratings beyond the rating letters annexed to the KIDs was found.

CRISIL rates FFSL BBB and CARE rates it BBB+, both Stable; Infomerics rates a smaller set of borrowings BBB+. No agency has cut a rating. Each names the same pressure points: a young and fast growing book, gold price swings and borrowing.

Some of the bonds tie their terms to these ratings. Those promises sit in the KIDs.

6What did the company promise?

The KID for the ₹50 crore 12% bond 07081, dated 20th Feb 2026, leaves 4 of its sections blank:

Promises like these are covenants: conditions written into a bond on top of paying on time (chapter 10). FFSL's bonds use 4 kinds. Money tests set floors and caps on capital, borrowing and bad loans, measured each quarter. Events of default list situations that let holders treat the bond as in default even if no payment is missed. Step ups raise the coupon when something goes wrong. Early redemption rights let holders, through the trustee, ask for their money back. A debenture trustee is the SEBI registered firm that acts for all holders together; for every listed FFSL bond it is Catalyst Trusteeship.2, 6, 31

Early redemptionNoneTrustee may demand it on a 2 notch downgradeFFSL may repay early with a 1% premiumTrustee may demand it on a "Second Rating Downgrade Event"

Sources: KIDs2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. CRAR, the capital adequacy ratio, is a lender's own capital as a share of its loans weighted by risk; Tier I is the core part of it, mainly equity and reserves. Tangible net worth is net worth less intangible assets and some investments. The KIDs for 07024, 07032, 07040, 07057 and 07123 were not read.

The KIDs moved in 2 steps. The borrowing cap changed from tangible net worth to net worth with 07081 in Feb 2026, and rose from 4.0 to 4.5 times with 07107 in May 2026. The cap on loans 90 days past due rose from 4% to 5% of the book in the May and June 2026 KIDs.2, 4, 6, 7

For the older ₹10,000 lines the rating clause is one line: "Any downgrade of credit rating falling below CRISIL BBB-." For 07107 it reads the same against CARE.2, 6 CRISIL rates those bonds BBB, so a cut of one notch would reach BBB−, and a second would cross the line (our reading).

Where the company stood against its tests

Plate FK.5

Capital fell and borrowing rose, inside the limits

The floor is on Tier I capital, which was nearly all of CRAR at Mar 2026 (30.57% of 30.95%); the debt limits are on tangible net worth in the older KIDs and net worth in the newer ones.

Tier I CRAR was 30.57% at 31st Mar 2026, and total CRAR 26.63% at 30th Jun 2026. Debt to equity was 2.88 times at 30th Jun 2026. Gross NPA was 0.54% and gold loans 95.9% of the book, against a floor of 80% in the KIDs.7, 9, 10

The CFO said on the FY26 call that FFSL's target gearing is "anywhere between 4x to 4.5x". The certificate filed on 13th Aug 2026 states that all covenants were met at 30th Jun 2026.11, 9

What the KIDs print in error

The 07107 KID's cash flow table prints the final ₹278.61 coupon twice on 13th Aug 2028; the 9 scheduled coupons total ₹2,549.27 a bond, not ₹2,827.88 (our calculation). The 07107 KID carries the reference number FFSL/25-26/04 on every page, the same as the 07081 and 07099 KIDs. The 07115 KID names the bond "11.33% FFSL 082028" although it matures on 16th Jun 2028, and heads its top 10 holders table "March 31, 2025". The 07081 KID prints its redemption year as 2026 and its interest as ₹24,000.02. The top 10 holder tables describe 07040 and 07057 as quarterly; their payment certificates show monthly coupons.6, 7, 4, 27

No correction of these points was found in later filings.

Every KID read sets a 20% floor on Tier I capital. Between Dec 2025 and Jun 2026 the borrowing cap rose from 4.0 times tangible net worth to 4.5 times net worth, and the cap on bad loans from 4% to 5%. The 07081 KID leaves its events of default to a trust deed that is not public, and the 07115 KID ties early redemption to a term it does not define.

BSE trading suspension, 2005 to 2008Sanjay Leasing, clause 41 of the listing agreementRecord: suspension revoked from 1st Apr 2008; not in the GID
What
BSE suspended trading in Sanjay Leasing's shares from 6th Jul 2005 for not complying with clause 41 of the listing agreement, and revoked the suspension by a notice of 26th Mar 2008, with effect from 1st Apr 2008. The 2010 letter of offer records no other action by an exchange.24
The GID
The GID of 28th Nov 2025 says on 3 pages that "The Company was listed on BSE since inception". It does not mention the suspension. A suspension of trading is not a delisting, so the GID sentence leaves the suspension out rather than stating something false.1

What
SEBI issued an administrative warning because employee stock options (ESOPs) were granted on 24th Aug 2021 without first obtaining in principle listing approval from the exchange, as Regulation 12(3) of SEBI's share based employee benefits rules requires. The approval was obtained on 28th May 2024. An administrative warning is a caution, not a penalty.25

Cash flow
The GID shows FY25 operating cash flow as plus ₹133.82 crore; KID 07115 and the FY26 results show minus ₹133.82 crore. FY25 was a year of loan growth.1, 7, 8
Loans on demand
KID 07115 shows the unsecured inter corporate loans as "Perpetual" in its borrowing table (p.34) and as repayable on demand in its financial statements (pp.110 to 111).7
Lending to related parties
The GID's lending policy section states no lending to related parties (p.54); its FY24 related party table shows ₹139.87 crore lent (p.104).1
RBI layer
RBI sorts NBFCs into layers by size. The GID and CRISIL's Feb 2026 rationale describe FFSL as Base Layer. The FY26 press release of 20th May 2026 said base layer and was refiled the next day saying Middle Layer, describing the change as a typographical correction.1, 15, 39
An unreadable filing
NSE queried the results for the quarter to 30th Sep 2025 because the upload was not legible and questioned the signatory. FFSL replied on 19th Jan 2026 that the cause was a scanning error and that the chairman had signed under the board's authority.36
Company position
Only the press release was corrected, as stated. No correction of the other points was found.
Website claims beside the filingsarvog.com, Jun 2025 to Oct 2026Record: customer counts measured differently
Customers
From Jun 2025 to Mar 2026 the Arvog homepage claimed "10 Lakhs+ Happy Customers", without defining the figure; by Apr 2026 it read "1 Lakh+". FFSL's results releases report 28,506 active gold loan customers at 31st Mar 2026 and 31,522 at 30th Jun 2026.

Bad loans in the quarter to Jun 2026Results of 13th Aug 2026Record: gross NPA up from ₹1.37 crore to ₹6.66 crore
What
Gross NPA fell from ₹7.49 crore (1.13%) at 30th Sep 2025 to ₹5.83 crore (0.71%) at 31st Dec 2025 and ₹1.37 crore (0.13%) at 31st Mar 2026. It rose about 4.9 times in the June 2026 quarter, to ₹6.66 crore (0.54%), while the impairment charge was ₹0.20 crore against ₹7.10 crore in the March quarter.

Company position
On the Q1 FY27 call the CFO said: "Our NPAs have been pretty much stable, pretty much under control. It is at 0.54% gross NPA and 0.48% net NPA." CARE attributes the fall in NPA to 31st Mar 2026 mainly to a rally in gold prices that allowed top up loans at the same LTV.12, 14

Every payment certificate found shows the coupon paid on or before its date. The record also holds a BSE suspension from 2005 to 2008 that the GID leaves out, a SEBI warning on share options, 3 BSE fines of ₹35,400 in all, a DIN printed against 3 people, figures that differ between the offer documents, and a rise in bad loans in the June 2026 quarter with little set aside.

The last part of the story is the calendar: when principal falls due.

8What falls due, and when?

A bullet bond repays all its principal on one date. Every FFSL bond is a bullet. FFSL's gold loans run about 10 months, so most of its loan book turns into cash well before its bonds fall due; a lender relies on that, and on new borrowing, to repay (section 3).15

CARE described liquidity at 31st Dec 2025 as outflows of ₹347 crore within a year against inflows of ₹895 crore, with ₹78 crore of free cash and investments. The CFO said FFSL held about ₹67 crore of treasury investments at 30th Jun 2026.13, 12

The KID gives ₹85.61 for the first coupon, a 28 day month; ₹10,000 × 11.16% × 28 ÷ 365 gives ₹85.61, and ₹94.78 for a 31 day month. All 21 rows of the KID's table match the same sum, as do all 18 of 07065's and all 21 of 07099's (our calculation).3, 2, 5 On 23rd Oct 2026 Wint Wealth showed 07073 at ₹10,078.37 with an XIRR of 10.25%. For a purchase settling on 26th Oct 2026 at that price, the KID's remaining flows give about 11.35% a year before tax, and about 10.08% after 10% TDS on each coupon (our calculation). Wint's figures on all 4 FFSL lines it shows sit 1.1 to 1.2 points below the pre tax yield its own price implies and within about 0.2 points of the after TDS sum, which is consistent with an after TDS basis.30

The KID gives ₹285.58 for the first coupon, 14th Aug 2026; ₹10,000 × 11.33% × 92 ÷ 365 gives ₹285.58. Its 2028 coupons use a 366 day year: ₹10,000 × 11.33% × 91 ÷ 366 gives ₹281.70, as printed.

An exchange price includes accrued interest, here ₹164.52 to settlement on 6th Oct 2026; the remaining 8 coupons and ₹10,000 give a yield of about 14.3% a year (our calculation, XIRR on a 365 day year). At Stable Bonds' price of ₹10,264.15 on 23rd Oct 2026, settling 26th Oct, the same flows give about 11.55%, the figure the platform shows.29, 30

Your card gives your dates. Section 10 turns them into a routine.

10What should I check every month?

A holder cannot see inside the company, but the company must tell the exchanges certain things on fixed dates, and must send the trustee more. The routine below uses public pages and your own statements. It says what a normal month looks like and what counts as a change worth noting. A change worth noting is something to write down, read in full and ask about. It is not a signal to do anything with the bond.

When something is worth noting

Write it down with the date and the link. Read the filing in full. Check whether the trustee or an agency has said anything. Then ask the contacts in section 12, quoting your ISIN and the number of bonds you hold. If a complaint is not resolved, SEBI's SCORES system and the exchanges' investor services cells take investor complaints.

Each month: the credit, the record date notice, the payment certificate, the other announcements, 3 agencies, the trustee, the price and your tax record. Each quarter: results with the cover certificate, bad loans against provisions, and the promoter holding.

Those checks describe any month. The next section is one dated snapshot.

Key takeaways

  • For these bonds, a rating is an opinion, not a promise. FFSL's bonds carry BBB from CRISIL and BBB+ from CARE, both Stable, and every payment certificate found shows the coupon paid on or before its date. This page sets out what stands behind them; whether to buy is not something it answers.
  • Every bond is a loan to FFSL alone, a gold loan NBFC trading as Arvog. No company or person guarantees any of them.
  • Gold loans were 95.9% of the book at 30th Jun 2026. Personal loans through partner apps were about 4% of the book and almost 30% of FY26 revenue; ₹69.73 crore went to the partners.
  • Personal loans are written off at 82 days past due, before the 90 day NPA line, so their losses show as write offs: ₹21.32 crore in FY26 against year end gross NPA of ₹1.37 crore.
  • The Kothari family controls FFSL and the Augmont bullion group. FFSL is not an Augmont subsidiary; it borrows from companies tied to its promoters under limits of ₹525 crore, and lent to them in FY23 and FY24.
  • Each listed bond has a first claim on its own pool of gold loan receivables at 1.10 times; the certificate for 30th Jun 2026 states 110% cover.
  • The covenants loosened between Dec 2025 and Jun 2026: the borrowing cap went from 4.0 times tangible net worth to 4.5 times net worth. 07081's events of default are not filled in, and 07115's early redemption term is not defined.
  • The record holds a BSE suspension from 2005 to 2008 left out of the GID, a SEBI warning, 3 BSE fines of ₹35,400 in all, a DIN printed against 3 people, and a rise in bad loans in the June 2026 quarter with ₹0.20 crore set aside.
  • ₹189 crore of bonds falls due from Jul to Dec 2027. A monthly check covers the credit, the payment certificate, the announcements, 3 agencies, the trustee, the price and your Form 26AS.

Method. Research as of 23rd Oct 2026. The primary record is FFSL's own offer documents (the GID of 28th Nov 2025 and the KIDs of 23rd Dec 2025, 29th Jan, 20th Feb, 12th Mar, 11th May and 11th Jun 2026), its results, investor presentations, earnings call transcripts and exchange filings on NSE and BSE, rating agency releases, SEBI offer documents of 2010 and 2012, the Augmont Enterprises prospectus of Aug 2026 and court orders. Page numbers are the printed footer pages. BSE's announcement search could not be reached for this page, so filings were read from NSE, where FFSL files the same letters; a filing not found is reported as not found, not as missing. The KIDs for 07024, 07032, 07040, 07057 and 07123 were not obtained. Press reports, the company's website, platform pages and directory data are reported sources and are labelled as such where used. Prices are BSE trades from our database; trades of 1 bond are not used as prices; exchange prices are treated as including accrued interest. Yields are our calculation: XIRR on a 365 day year on each bond's KID cash flows, with the price paid on the settlement date and any coupon whose record date has passed left out; after TDS figures deduct 10% from each coupon. Where the company, its management or a rating agency has stated a position on a finding, it is reported next to that finding. Nothing on this page is a finding of wrongdoing by any person or company.

Important. This page is general information about securities that are listed and traded. It is not investment advice, not a recommendation, and not an offer to buy or sell anything. We are not a SEBI registered investment adviser or research analyst. Figures are drawn from the issuer's own offer documents and audited accounts, from rating agency documents, from exchange filings, from court and regulator records and from a historical window of market data, and may be stale by the time you read this. Past interest payments do not guarantee future ones. Bonds carry the risk of losing some or all of the money invested, and a listed bond may not find a buyer when you want to sell. Reported sources, website claims and directory data are identified as such and have not been independently verified. Interest is taxable at your slab rate and tax is deducted at source. Read the issuer's offer documents in full and consult a SEBI registered investment adviser before making any decision. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any bond.
