Rating Rationale

­Acuité has downgraded its long-term rating of ‘ACUITE BBB-’ (read as ACUITE Triple B Minus) to 'ACUITE BB+’ (read as ACUITE Double B Plus) on the Rs. 100.00 Cr. bank loan facility of Humana Financial Services Private Limited. The outlook is ‘Stable’.

Rationale for Rating
The rating downgrade factors in the contraction in the overall asset book, deterioration in asset quality metrics and decline in the earnings profile. The company has seen a reduction in the total AUM from Rs 204.23 Cr. in FY 24 to Rs.159.52 Cr. in FY 25. The company has managed portfolio through BC partnerships with Yes Bank and CSB primarily and recently the company has onboarded Jana Small Finance Bank and Credifin as additional BC partners. The company's off book AUM stood at Rs 96.26 Cr. and on book AUM stood at Rs 63.26 Cr. for FY 25 as against Rs.111.20 Cr. and Rs.82.50 Cr. respectively for FY 24. For Q1FY 26, the company had a total AUM of Rs.141.89 Cr. the off book AUM stood at Rs.91.44 Cr. and on Book AUM stood at Rs.50.45 Cr. for the same period. The asset quality GNPA rose sharply from 1.58% in FY24 to 5.89% in FY25 and further to 8.81% in Q1FY26, indicating a steep deterioration in portfolio health. NNPA %  also increased from 0.36% to 0.97% and then to 2.84%. Collection efficiency (for monthly collections) has declined from 96.00 % in FY 24 to 90.16% in FY25., while overdue buckets, especially 90+ DPD, surged from 1.58% to 8.81%. The GNPA has increased to 9.19 % for Q2FY26.  Earnings have been adversely impacted due to higher provisioning and write off during FY 25 as against FY 24. Profit after tax of the company has declined from Rs.3.94 Cr. in FY 24 to a loss of Rs.1.25 Cr. in FY 25 and a loss of Rs.0.15 Cr. in Q1FY 26. However, these
Weaknesses are offset with healthy capitalisation levels and having experienced management. Capital Adequacy overall has seen improvements with the CAR increasing from 28.63% in FY 24 to 49.49% in FY 25.

Key Rating Drivers

Strength
­Experienced management and adequate capitalization but low net worth base:
Humana Financial Services Private Limited (HFSPL) is a Delhi based NBFC-MFI promoted by Mr.Kailash Khandelwal and Mr. Raj Kumar Singh. They both possess around two decades of experience. The company is working in three states (Rajasthan, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh) with 37 branches, and the total loan outstanding is Rs.159.52 Cr. (Rs. 63.26 Cr. of Own Portfolio  + Rs. 96.26 Cr. of BC portfolio), serving a total clientele base of 53774 women in FY 25 ( Q1FY 26 : 49218). HFSPL's capital structure is marked by a low net worth base of Rs. 27.26 Cr. as on March 31, 2025 . (Rs. 27.51 Cr. as on March 31,2024)  and a gearing of 1.74 times as of March 31, 2025 (3.23 times as of March 31, 2024). The company has adequate capitalization levels. Overall, CAR stood high at 49.49 percent as of March 31, 2025 and 28.63 percent  as on March 31, 2024 . CAR is primarily composed of Tier I capital.
Acuité believes that going forward, HFSPL will continue to benefit from its experienced management. However, the ability of the company to maintain adequate capitalization levels will be a key rating sensitivity.

Weakness
Deterioration in the asset quality:
The company reported a deterioration in asset quality with the decline in on time portfolio of 96.8 percent to 91.17 percent in FY 25 and ~89 percent for Q1 FY 26 and Q2FY 26 respectively. The company reported a GNPA of 1.58 percent and NNPA of 0.36  percent for FY 24 which has seen a significant deterioration to a GNPA at 5.89 percent for FY 25, this further saw a deterioration to a GNPA at 8.81 percent in Q1FY 26 and 9.19 percent in Q2FY 26 respectively. Collection efficiency ( for monthly collections) has declined from 96.00 % in FY 24 to 90.16% in FY25. Going forward, further deterioration in the asset quality of the portfolio would be key monitorables.

Geographical concentration risk:
HFSPL has its operations spreads across 3 states spanning 22 districts through its branch network of 37 branches , but the company has most of its loan portfolio concentrated in the state of Rajasthan with ~45 percent of the total AUM for Q1FY26 followed by Uttar Pradesh with ~31 percent and the rest in the state of Haryana which comprised of ~23 percent of the total AUM for the same period. While in FY 25, there was concentration for Rajasthan (~43 percent), Uttar Pradesh (~34  percent) and Haryana (~22 percent). The company still has high dependence on the BC portfolio, over the years and this evident in FY 25 where the overall AUM stood at Rs 159.52 Cr. where the off book AUM stood at Rs 96.26 Cr. and on book AUM stood at Rs 63.26 Cr. This saw a significant reduction from the reported AUM of Rs 204.23 Cr. in FY 24 . For Q1FY26, the AUM stood at Rs 141.89 Cr. which comprised of off book AUM at Rs 91.44 Cr. and on Book AUM at 50.45 Cr. For Q2FY26, the AUM stood at Rs 134.94 Cr. ( owned book : Rs 38.35 Cr. and managed book: Rs 96.59 Cr). HFSPL takes off book exposure through business correspondence (BC). As on September 2025 its BC portfolio is highly dependent on its partnership with YES bank ,CSB Bank. The company has recently onboarded Jana Small Finance Bank and Credifin in Q2 FY 26. The company is started disbursement for a new product offering through LAP loans which will done through the BC partnership of Credifin in the existing branches.

Decline in earnings profile
Reduction in earnings due to increase in provisioning and write off during FY 25 as against FY 24. Profit after tax of the company has declined from Rs 3.94 Cr. in FY 24 to a loss of Rs 1.25 Cr. in FY 25 and a loss of Rs 0.15 Cr. in Q1FY 26. The company has been impacted by deterioration in the overall portfolio. The RoAA has decreased from 3.62 % in FY 24 to (1.21)% in FY 25. The return on average TNW decreased from 15.44 % to (4.56)% in FY 25.
