Commenting on the performance, Mr. HP Singh, Chairman & Managing Director of Satin Creditcare Network Limited, said

‘’During Q4FY22, we saw significant recovery across sectors, and Micro-Finance, being a core part of this ecosystem, was a beneficiary of this positive momentum. Our AUM for the quarter and year ended 31st March 2022 stood at Rs. 7,617 crores.

We witnessed tremendous improvements in both our disbursements and collecting activities. Our disbursements too saw a substantial growth which stood at Rs. 1,900 crores in Q4FY22 as compared to Rs. 1,348 crores in Q3FY22. In addition, our collection efficiency improved from 82% in Q1FY22 to ~100%% Q4FY22. We anticipate that this momentum will continue in the future quarters.

We have also demonstrated an improving trend in our portfolio quality. Our GNPA for March’22 stood at 8.0%. We have made adequate provisioning of 6.7%, as of 31st March 2022 of on-book portfolio.

Going ahead, we intend to re-establish our growth trajectory and recoup the lost ground. We remain sanguine about the overall economy and lending activity, especially in the micro-finance segment. We are getting positive feedback from our on-ground force for the enquiry generation, which we hope will drive the growth in disbursements. The asset quality is expected to improve, underpinned by the robust rebound in economic activities.

Improving the demand scenario in the rural markets coupled with the RBI’s new regulations will provide a level playing field for all lenders. These directives, along with frameworks such as Scale Based Regulation, Income Recognition and Asset Classification, Prompt Corrective Action, and information security, will ensure the industry has healthy growth in a risk-adjusted manner, and Satin, as one of the industry’s leading players, is expected to rebound strongly, both financially and operationally,” stated in the press release.
