Net interest margins for the Q1FY18 were lower at 2.50% as against 2.61% for Q1 FY17.  As per the company, the margins were impacted due to reduction in lending rates in May 2017, higher interest income reversal on account of fresh slippages of loans and increase in bond yields in April-May 2017. With the moderating cost of funds, the company expects to recoup margins to 2.7% in rest of the financial year.
