NBFC company Paisalo Digital Limited has announced that a meeting of the Operations and Finance Committee of its Board of Directors will be held on March 18, 2026, to consider and approve the allotment of Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) on a private placement basis.
The announcement was made through a regulatory filing submitted to both BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) under the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations.
At the same time, the company also informed exchanges that it has obtained an additional external credit rating from Brickwork Ratings India Private Limited for its proposed NCD issuance.
Committee Meeting Scheduled for March 18
According to the filing, the Operations and Finance Committee meeting is scheduled to consider the allotment of Non-Convertible Debentures through private placement.
Private placement of NCDs is a common fundraising method used by companies, especially financial institutions, to raise capital from institutional investors and other qualified investors.
The company disclosed the upcoming meeting under Regulation 29 and Regulation 50 of SEBI’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations.
Such disclosures ensure transparency and allow investors to stay informed about significant financial decisions being considered by listed companies.
Brickwork Assigns AA/Stable Rating
In a separate disclosure, Paisalo Digital also announced that Brickwork Ratings India Private Limited has assigned a credit rating to its proposed NCD issuance.
The rating details include:
- Instrument: Non-Convertible Debentures (Long Term)
- Issue Size: ₹1,500 crore
- Rating: BWR AA / Stable
- Rating Action: Assigned
A rating of AA/Stable indicates a high degree of safety regarding timely servicing of financial obligations and reflects a strong credit profile.
The company already had an existing rating from Infomerics Analytics and Research Private Limited, and the new rating provides additional external validation of its creditworthiness.
Importance of Credit Ratings for NCD Issues
Credit ratings play a crucial role in debt markets, particularly for instruments like Non-Convertible Debentures.
Ratings help investors evaluate the credit risk and repayment capacity of the issuing company.
A higher rating generally indicates:
- Lower risk of default
- Strong financial stability
- Higher investor confidence
For companies raising funds through debt instruments, obtaining favorable ratings from recognized rating agencies can significantly improve their ability to attract institutional investors.
Why Companies Issue NCDs
Non-Convertible Debentures are widely used by financial institutions and NBFCs as a method to raise capital for lending operations and business expansion.
Unlike convertible debentures, NCDs cannot be converted into equity shares, and investors receive fixed interest payments over the tenure of the instrument.
Companies typically use funds raised through NCDs for:
- Expanding lending portfolios
- Supporting working capital needs
- Refinancing existing debt
- Funding growth initiatives
NBFCs in particular rely heavily on such debt instruments to maintain liquidity and scale their lending activities.
