Stock exchanges have been notified by Paisalo Digital Limited that its 9.95% listed, Secured Redeemable Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) with ISIN INE420C07106 have been fully redeemed.

A total of 600 NCDs, each with a face value of Rs 1,00,000, were fully redeemed at maturity on the same date, according to the company’s filing on October 10, 2025. This redemption pertains to the Series PDL042024 debentures.

As small-cap NBFC Paisalo Digital, which is backed by LIC, underwent all-around bullish trading and witnessed yet again one of the bigger NCD redemptions, the micro-lending specialist had renewed interest from investors.

Paisalo Digital share price increased by over 2 percent and gave an intraday high of Rs 39.55 on the BSE on Friday whereas the market cap of the company surpassed Rs 3,504 Cr. With a 52-week high of Rs 63.52 on December 6, 2024, and a 52-week low of Rs 29.40 on June 20, 2025, the stock has seen significant volatility over the last year. The stock, which is currently trading at Rs 38.85, has recovered almost 32.1% from its lowest point but is down roughly 38.8% from its yearly peak.

This suggests that although the stock is still far below its peak, it has stabilized and partially recovered in recent months.
