Religare Enterprises’ wholly-owned subsidiary -- Religare Finvest (RFL), has completed the One-Time-Settlement (OTS) with 16 lenders by making a full and final payment of Rs 400 crore. The OTS was completed on March 8, 2023 nearly a month in advance before the deadline, as per the settlement agreement with the lenders dated December 30, 2022.
The settlement is the last milestone for the closure of the legacy issues, which emanated from the misconduct of the erstwhile promoters. This settlement paves the way for restarting business of RFL and focusing on building a niche in the Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME) lending space. RFL will have a healthy balance sheet to sustain business growth in the next few quarters.
