Adar Poonawalla-controlled non-banking finance company Poonawalla Fincorp on Wednesday said its total disbursement grew 151 per cent year-on-year to record Rs 6,370 crore in the March 2023 quarter. Its assets under management (AUM) increased by 37 per cent year-on-year and 16 per cent quarter-on-quarter to about Rs 16,120 crore at March-end 2023, despite a sharp reduction in the discontinued loan book, the company said in a regulatory filing. Discontinued onbook reduced to approximately Rs 625 crore at March-end 2023.

Banks' gross non-performing assets (NPAs) will reduce further to a decadal low of 3.8 per cent by end of FY2023-24, credit rating agency Crisil said on Monday. The agency estimates NPAs to reduce to 4.2 per cent by end of the just concluded FY23 as against 5.9 per cent in the year-ago period. It had earlier estimated NPAs to come at 4 per cent by end of FY24. Crisil said a major factor influencing the bank NPAs is the improvement in the high-value corporate loanbooks, where the gross NPAs are slated to come below 2 per cent. Corporates have been reducing their leverage through a string of measures, including prepayment of loans as well. Additionally, strengthened risk management and underwriting is also helping the lenders towards lowering the NPAs, the agency said. When asked about the growing trend of writing unsecured loans in the retail segment, the agency's deputy chief rating officer Krishnan Sitaraman said they occupy a very small proportion of the overall loans. He said 26

The highest drop was in the private bank segment, from 2.8 per cent in Q2FY22 to 1.5 per cent in FY23-Q2

The Non-performing assets (NPAs) from the small businesses segment have witnessed a decline in the September quarter of this fiscal despite high credit growth, a report said on Thursday. The micro, small and medium enterprises' (MSME) NPAs declined to 12.5 per cent as of September 2022, as against 13.9 per cent in September 2021, after the devastating second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, the report by Transunion Cibil said. The overall disbursements, which excludes loan renewals, grew 24 per cent during the quarter, led by an over 54 per cent in the micro industries segment which have a credit exposure of up to Rs 1 crore, the credit information company said. The average loan size for the micro segment increased by 34 per cent, and to the small segment by 4 per cent, Cibil said, adding that the same was down 1 per cent in the case of businesses classified as medium primarily because of the emergency credit-linked guarantee scheme loans made during the pandemic.

The government has taken various reforms following which asset quality of public sector banks has improved significantly with gross NPA ratio declining from the peak of 14.6 per cent in March 2018 to 5.53 per cent in December 2022, Parliament was informed on Monday.

Bad loans of Indian banks are expected to decline 90 basis points to less than five per cent in FY23 and hit a decadal low of sub-four per cent by March 31, 2024, said an Assocham-Crisil Rating study unveiled on Thursday. The study attributed the decline in gross Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) to the post-Covid economic recovery and higher credit growth. It said the biggest improvement would be in the corporate loan segment, where gross NPAs are seen falling below two per cent in the next fiscal from a peak of about 16 per cent as on March 31, 2018. "This follows significant clean-up of books by banks in recent years, as well as strengthened risk management and underwriting, which has led to higher preference for borrowers with better credit profiles. The steady improvement in corporate asset quality is clearly manifested in key indicators such as the credit quality of bank exposures," Assocham Secretary General Deepak Sood said. He observed that the twin balance sheet problem has ..

The June quarter witnessed a marginal decline in the overall microlending outstanding on a sequential basis, but there was an improvement in the asset quality, a report said on Tuesday. There was a 0.2 per cent decline in the overall microfinance book to Rs 2.85 lakh crore during the three months to June when compared with the number as of March-end, the report by CRIF High Mark said. The micro loans were up 18 per cent when compared with the year-ago period, the report by the credit information company added. The April-June quarter last year, which saw the devastating second wave of the pandemic, had led to a massive impact on microlenders both from loan growth as well as delinquency perspective. The June quarter saw Rs 49,788 crore of loans being disbursed, which was 39.2 per cent lower than what was achieved by the industry in the preceding March quarter, but 88.9 per cent higher than the year-ago period, the report said.

The Maharashtra State Bank Employees Federation (MSBEF) on Monday opposed 'loan melas' organised by state-owned banks, saying that credit granted without much diligence at such events lead to pile-up of non-performing assets. Such 'melas' add to the retail Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) for the lenders as the loans are granted without much diligence, MSBEF said in a statement. The statement comes on a day when Union minister of state for finance Bhagwat Karad is attending one such mela in Maharashtra's Aurangabad, where public sector lenders are targeting to distribute Rs 2,900 crore of loans. Stating that past experience suggests borrowers stop repayments for such loans, the MSBEF said, no political party helps in the loan recovery process. "The same political parties demand for waiver of those loans so as to appease voters" during elections, it said, adding that such events vitiate the recovery atmosphere. Public sector banks are put into crisis through NPAs, and the same is used

Cumulatively, all the 12 public sector banks reported a profit of about Rs 15,306 crore in the three months ended June, registering an annual growth of 9.2 per cent.
