DHFL said it did not make any provision for interest on borrowings amounting to Rs 1,912.13 crore and Rs 7,651.55 crore for the quarter and year ended March 31, respectively, in view of the company's corporate insolvency process.
"Under the IBC, the treatment of creditors under the resolution plan is as per debts due as on the insolvency commencement date and therefore, no interest is accrued and payable after this date. Had the interest accrued on borrowings and provided for, the profit for the quarter ended 31st March 2021 would have been lower by Rs 1,422.05 crore (net of taxes) and loss for the year ended 31st March, 2021 would have been higher by Rs 5,690.46 crore (net of tax)," it said.
DHFL is currently being run under an administrator appointed by the RBI in November 2019. It is the first finance company to be referred to the NCLT by the RBI. The lenders of the company classified the account as fraud on alleged fund diversion by promoters Kapil Wadhawan and his brother Dheeraj Wadhawan.
