| Rating Rationale |
|
Acuité has Downgraded the long term rating to ‘ACUITE C (read as ACUITE C)’ from‘ACUITE B-’ (read as ACUITE B minus) on the Rs.5.00 crore bank facilities of Aradhana Distributors Private Limited (ADPL). The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not Cooperating” and is based on the best available information and is on account of information risk. The rating continues to be an indicative rating. The downgrade is based on the publicly available information. The downgrade is on the account of the suit filed against the company as mentioned in the defaulter list published by CIBIL |
| About the Company |
|
Aradhana Distributors, established in 1997 as a service centre for Mitsubishi Motors ventured into auto dealership of Honda Motorcycle in 2006. The company has three 3S showrooms and a workshop at Howrah (West Bengal). The day-to-day operations are managed by Mr. Sanjay Patodia. |
| 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 an 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 has endeavoured 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. |

| Note on Complexity Levels of the Rated Instrument |
|
In order to inform the investors about complexity of instruments, Acuité has categorized such instruments in three levels: Simple, Complex and Highly Complex. Acuite’ s categorisation of the instruments across the three categories is based on factors like variability of the returns to the investors, uncertainty in cash flow patterns, number of counterparties and general understanding of the instrument by the market. It has to be understood that complexity is different from credit risk and even an instrument categorized as 'Simple' can carry high levels of risk.
