Arman Financial Services Limited, a prominent player in the finance industry, has recently made a significant move to streamline its non-performing assets (NPA) and written-off loans. On March 21, 2025, the Finance & Investment Committee of the company approved a proposal for the sale of these assets to an Asset Reconstruction Company (ARC). This move is in line with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2015, and is aimed at reducing the financial burden of the company by offloading these stressed assets.

Sale of Stressed Assets to ARC

The assets in question include a portfolio of unsecured microfinance loans (MFI), which collectively amount to a principal outstanding of Rs. 186.99 Cr. The reserve price for the sale has been set at Rs. 35 Cr, and the deal will be executed on a Cash & Security Receipts (SR) basis. This decision is aimed at improving the company's financial standing and minimizing the risks associated with non-performing loans.

The company has also reached out to Registered Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARC) for Expression of Interest (EOI) as per the applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The move is a part of a broader strategy to reduce NPAs and improve the asset quality of the company.

Implications for Arman Financial Services

The proposed sale of these stressed assets represents a significant step in the company’s ongoing efforts to streamline its balance sheet and reduce its exposure to non-performing assets. The sale to an ARC is expected to bring much-needed liquidity and allow the company to refocus on its core operations. Arman Financial Services has assured stakeholders that it will provide further updates once the deal is finalized.

This proposal is a part of the company's broader commitment to financial prudence and regulatory compliance. The Finance & Investment Committee's decision is in line with the company's efforts to create a more resilient financial position, ensuring it remains competitive and capable of navigating future challenges in the financial services sector.

Conclusion

Arman Financial Services' move to sell its NPA and written-off loans to an ARC is a clear indication of the company's commitment to strengthening its financial position.
