| Rating Rationale |
| Acuité has reaffirmed the long-term rating of ‘ACUITE B+’ (read as ACUITE B plus) on the Rs.21.00 crore bank facilities of Gateway Education and Charitable Society (GECS). The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” and based on the best available information. |
| About the Company |
|
GECS, established in 2005, is headed by Mr. Rakesh Aggarwal (President), Mr. H. P. Mangla (Executive President), Ms. Anju Aggarwal (Vice President 1) and others. GECS manages six education al institutes from its campus located at Sonipat (Haryana). GECS presently caters to around 4,116 students.
|
| 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 non-cooperation 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 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.
