Microfinance company Satin Creditcare Network reported a 67% drop in fourth quarter standalone net profit at Rs 41 crore over Rs 125 crore seen in the year-ago period, on account of the ongoing asset quality stress and resultant rising credit cost.The pre-provision operating profit for the quarter stood 44.4% lower at Rs 126 crore.The lender's credit cost for the quarter rose to 3.8% as compared with 2.6% in the year ago period.

It sold loans worth Rs 200 crore to an ARC during the fourth quarter."We have delivered our 15th consecutive profitable quarter, despite the challenging business environment marked by volatility and policy transitions. We are also pleased to report that our performance remained closely aligned with our stated guidance," Singh said.The lender's assets under management grew 7% year-on-year to Rs 11316 crore at the end of March. Loan disbursement for the fourth quarter was 2.5% higher at Rs 2882 crore against Rs 2810 crore seen in the year-ago period."FY25 was undoubtedly more challenging than the strong year we saw in FY24. So, for us to surpass our previous year's disbursement levels is a big win," Singh said.

Delhi: 30-year-old arrested for over ₹30 crore import/export fraud
A 30-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly orchestrating a ₹30.47 crore fraud by submitting forged remittance documents to avail export incentives under the Foreign Trade Policy, the Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) said on Saturday. The accused, Angad Pal Singh also known as Angad Singh Chandhok, was deported from the United States and arrested on June 2, said deputy commissioner of police (EOW) Vikram Porwal. Singh conspired with a private bank employees to forge more than 460 Foreign Inward Remittance Certificates (FIRCs), which were used to fraudulently claim duty credit scrips — government-issued incentives meant for exporters, said police. 'Singh and his father Surinder Singh and brother Harsahib Singh managed five export firms that used these forged FIRCs to illegally secure trade benefits from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT),' said DCP Porwal. The firms — Kumar Trading Company, National Trader, Trident Overseas India, HSC Exim India, and AHC Auto Spares — allegedly did not receive any legitimate export payments. Police said that the case, registered in 2017 following a complaint from a private bank, involves a complex web of document forgery and financial manipulation. According to investigators, between 2013 and 2015, the private bank's Naraina branch received 467 fraudulent FIRCs purportedly issued by a second private bank's Bhikaji Cama Place branch. These FIRCs falsely claimed foreign remittances for exports that never occurred, police said. According to police, based on these documents, the first private bank issued Bank Realisation Certificates (BRCs), which the accused firms used to obtain Duty Credit Scrips from DGFT. The scrips, which are tradable, allow importers to offset customs duties. 'This fraud was not just limited to paper forgery. The accused opened accounts at the first private bank and processed fake export documentation with alleged assistance from within the bank,' Porwal said, adding that the proceeds from the sale of these scrips were never backed by real exports. Singh, a class 12 pass-out from Delhi, reportedly learned the ropes of the export-import business from his father, an auto parts trader. He later roped in his friends and relatives to set up additional shell firms under the promise of high returns, police said. Three co-accused have already been arrested and charge-sheeted in the case, police added. Singh was sent to judicial custody and is also linked to another fraud case under investigation by EOW. Police said further inquiries are underway to identify the full scale of the alleged conspiracy and potential involvement of bank officials.

PM Modi: Govt initiatives over 11 years helped farmers prosper
PM Modi (File Photo) NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said initiatives undertaken during the last 11 years of his tenure have increased the prosperity of farmers and ensured an overall transformation of the farm sector, and promised that his govt's efforts towards farmer welfare will continue with "greater vigour" in the times to come. Ahead of 11th anniversary of his govt on June 9, the day he took oath for a third consecutive term in office last year, the Prime Minister posted on X a thread of a citizen engagement platform (MyGovIndia) that underlined how the farmers from being trapped in debt and uncertainty are now empowered with dignity, direct income support, better prices, modern infrastructure, and access to global markets through a massive 112% jump in agricultural export (from Rs 1.94 lakh crore in 2013-14 to Rs 4.12 lakh crore in 2023-24). Emphasising how his govt worked to boost "dignity and prosperity" of farmers, Modi in his post said the farmers had to earlier depend on loans even to meet their basic needs but their lives have now become easier due to several decisions taken by the Centre. "We have taken several important decisions to ensure farmer welfare, whether it's PM-Kisan (income support scheme) or crop insurance scheme. Due to continuous increase in Minimum Support Price (MSP), the country's food producers are not only receiving fair prices for their crops but are also experiencing a rise in their income," Modi posted on X, reflecting on the last 11 years. The PM highlighted that govt has paid close attention to key aspects such as soil health and irrigation, which have been greatly beneficial, and urged people to read the thread, posted by the citizen engagement platform of the govt on empowering farmers and uplifting the country's farmers. The platform also shared basic details of almost all the initiatives taken by the Modi govt in the last 11 years for farmers and the farm sector. It noted that the crop insurance scheme helped insure over 23 crore farmers and disbursed claims of Rs 1.75 lakh crore, securing incomes and reducing risk. It also said the agricultural credit shot up from Rs 7.3 lakh crore in 2013-14 to Rs 27.5 lakh crore this year, making access to affordable finance a reality for every small farmer. It also highlighted infrastructural development of the farm sector in 11 years, and shared how initiatives helped in substantially increasing foodgrain production.
