| Rating Rationale |
| Acuité has Downgraded and Withdrawn the long term rating to ‘ACUITE D (read as ACUITE D)’ from ‘ACUITE B’ (read as ACUITE B) and the short term to ‘ACUITE D (read as ACUITE D)’ from ‘ACUITE A4’ (read as ACUITE A four) on the Rs.9.90 crore bank facilities of Saaj Agro Foods Private Limited. The rating is being withdrawn on account of request received from the company and NOC received from the banker on Acuite's policy of withdrawal of ratings. The rating continues to be an indicative rating. The downgrade is on the basis that the company has ongoing delays in servicing of debt obligation and the account is classified as NPA as mentioned by the banker. |

| 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 notcooperating”, in line with prevailing SEBI regulations and Acuité’s policies. |
| Limitation regarding information availability: |

Acuité endeavored to gather information about the entity / industry from the public domain.

| 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.
