Mr. Martin P S, Officer on Special Duty (OSD), Ujjivan Small Finance Bank said, “Q2 FY22 has shown significant traction in business momentum, over the previous quarter, with improvement in both – disbursements and collections. In Q2 FY22, we disbursed ₹ 3,122 crore as local level lockdowns eased. We continue to focus on diversification with Non-MicroBanking book contributing 34% (as against 32% as of Jun’21) to the total asset portfolio. We have acquired 1.8 lakh new retail customers during the quarter; retail deposits proportion increased to 52% of the total deposits, as against 48% as of Jun’21. The Bank has prepared a 100-day plan focusing on improving business volumes and asset quality as well as retaining talent; performance against the plan is being closely monitored by Bank Board and corrective actions are put in place, if required. With strict focus on collections, we have seen dual benefits of rising collection efficiency (95% in Sep’21) and reduced PAR (18.9% as of Sep’21 as against 30.8% as of Jun’21). Also, we have done major restructuring and taken accelerated credit provisions during the quarter. We believe, subject to potential third wave of Covid, our GNPA has peaked out and will gradually reduce hereon. We remain confident that the Bank would tide over the challenges posed by current business environment and would emerge strong.”
