Financials

Industry Overview

- SFBs continue to diversify their portfolio beyond microfinance business : After the conversion of NBFC-MFIs to SFBs, the focus
is now on diversifying the product portfolio. As a result, the share of their MFI portfolio in total advances reduced
to 36% as of Fiscal 2022 from 90-95% as of Fiscal 2016.
- SFB deposits to grow faster than private and public-sector banks :  SFBs have a significant growth potential as most of them were functioning as NBFCs/MFIs previously. Immediately after commencement of their operation, all SFBs focussed on increasing their deposit base. Their overall deposit base doubled to around ₹ 375 billion as of Fiscal 2019 and ₹ 1,211 billion in Fiscal 2022 (Source: Company DRHP)
