Rating Rationale
­Acuité has downgraded the long-term rating from ‘ACUITE BBB' (read as ACUITE triple B) to 'ACUITE BB+' (read as ACUITE double B plus)  on Rs. 33.00 Cr. bank facilities of Ghanshyam Das Rungta Foundation.

This rating is now an indicative rating and is based on the best available information. The rating has been downgraded on account of information risk.

About the Company

GDRF was incorporated in 2008 at Raipur, under the Societies Registration Act, 1973. There are around 4 colleges/institutions (including 1 school) under the society with 5631 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 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 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.
