Rating Rationale

Acuité has reaffirmed the long-term rating of ‘ACUITE D’ (read as ACUITE D) and short term rating of ‘ACUITE D’ (read as ACUITE D) on the Rs. 12.50 crore bank facilities of Anandalok Hospital (AH). The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not Cooperating” and is based on the best available information.

About the Company

Anandalok Hospita (AH), established in 1981, is a multi speciality hospital that offers a range of healthcare services including neuro surgery, oncology, urology and orthopaedics, among others. The hospital has 350 beds and is run by a trust led by Mr. Deo Kumar Saraf (Chairman). The trust runs six hospitals in four located at Kolkata, one at Baduria and the other at Ranigunj apart from a diagnostic center at Kolkata. It also carries out charitable activities for the economically weaker sections of society.

Non-cooperation by the issuer/borrower:

Acuité has been requesting for data, information and undertakings from the rated entity for conducting surveillance & review of the rating. However, the issuer/borrower failed to submit such information before the due date.
Acuité believes that information risk is a critical component in such ratings, and noncooperation by the issuer along with unwillingness to provide information could be a sign of potential deterioration in its overall credit quality.
This rating is, therefore, being flagged as “Issuer not-cooperating”, in line with prevailing SEBI regulations and Acuité’s policies.

Limitation regarding information availability:

The rating is based on information available from sources other than the issuer/borrower (in the absence of information provided by the issuer/borrower). Acuité endeavored to gather information about the entity/industry from the public domain. Therefore, Acuité cautions lenders and investors regarding the use of such information, on which the indicative credit rating is based.
