The mutual fund industry emerged the largest investor in corporate debt instruments and bonds of the beleaguered Dewan Housing Finance Corporation (DHFL).

DHFL debt owed Rs 960 crore to mutual funds as interest payment towards its bonds. However, on June 04, the housing finance company missed its deadline to make Rs 1,150 crore payment to all bondholders and informed investors, that the payment would be done within seven days.

Given that such delay warranted mutual funds to mark down the net asset values (NAVs) of DHFL bonds by 75 percent, it led to a 30-40 percent single-day fall in NAV of schemes that invested in DHFL debt papers.
As a result, rating agencies cited the mortgage lender's deteriorating liquidity condition and downgraded its rating on commercial paper (CP).
"With inadequate liquidity as on date to service debt and visibility very low on timely fund-raising, CRISIL expects the CP to be in default on maturity," the rating agency said in its statement on the downgrade.
