Though Loan Book has been stable on an annual basis, there has been a marginal increase of 2% sequentially. With uptick in disbursements, the company expects further growth in business assets.

Intensified collection efforts and accelerated repossessions / settlements / write-offs has led to further improvement in Gross Stage 3 (GS-3) - from 11.3% as at December end to 7.7% as at March end. Stage 2 also showed a similar declining trend sequentially from 17.8% to 14.3% at March end.
