India's AU Small Finance Bank gets first universal banking licence in a decade
Adds detail all through
Aug 7 (Reuters) - India's AU Small Finance Bank AUFI.NS, on Thursday, got the banking regulator's 'in-principle' approval to transition into a universal bank, making it the first full-fledged banking licence issued in nearly a decade.
AU Small Finance Bank applied for the licence in September 2024, which would allow it to expand its operations, in terms of issuing bigger loans, taking on more customers and making subsidiaries, all of which are limited for small finance banks.
The Reserve Bank of India, also the country's banking regulator, first issued guidelines for small finance banks to transition into full-fledged banks in 2014 and then updated those guidelines with more detailed criteria in April last year.
These included a five-year track record of satisfactory performance, a net worth of 10 billion rupees ($114 million), meeting capital requirements, recent profitability and limited non-performing assets.
The last such license issued by the RBI was in 2015 to Kolkata-based Bandhan Bank, which was a microfinance firm then.
For the quarter ended June 30, AU Small Finance Bank reported a 16% year-on-year jump in net profit to 5.81 billion rupees, while its gross bad loans as a percentage of total loans stood at 2.47% compared to 1.78% a year earlier.

India's Bandhan Bank quarterly profit slumps on higher bad loan provisions
July 18 (Reuters) - Indian private lender Bandhan Bank BANH.NS reported a steeper-than-expected 65% drop in first-quarter profit on Friday, hit by a spike in bad loan provisions as its asset quality worsened.
Profit for the quarter ended June fell to 3.72 billion rupees ($43.2 million), from 10.63 billion rupees a year ago. Analysts had expected it to log a profit of 3.83 billion rupees, according to data compiled by LSEG.
Bandhan Bank, which transitioned from a microfinance lender to a universal bank in 2015, has grappled with higher bad loans in its micro-loan book over the last few quarters, forcing it to set aside more funds for potential bad loans.
Provisions and contingencies in the quarter jumped to 11.47 billion rupees from 5.23 billion rupees in the same quarter a year ago. They were, however, lower than the 12.6 billion rupees in the prior quarter.
Gross bad loans as a percentage of total loans, a measure of asset quality, rose to 4.96% in the quarter from 4.71% in the prior quarter. Fresh slippages, or bad loan additions, were at 15.5 billion rupees, sharply higher than 8.9 billion rupees in the year ago quarter.
The lender's net interest income dropped 8%, while the net interest margin contracted 117 basis points year-on-year to 6.4%.

REFILE-India's financial stocks jump as central bank further eases strict lending rules
Corrects to Thursday from Wednesday in first paragraph
Feb 27 (Reuters) - Shares of most Indian financial companies, especially those of non-bank and microfinance-focussed lenders, jumped on Thursday after the central bank further eased its capital requirements for micro loans and bank credit.
Financial stocks .NIFTYFIN, which include non-bank finance companies (NBFCs), jumped about 1%, outpacing the 0.7% increase in banking stocks .NSEBANK. The benchmark Nifty 50 .NSEI, in comparison, was flat.
The Reserve Bank of India, on Tuesday, trimmed the higher capital requirements introduced in November, the latest in a series of growth-supportive measures since Sanjay Malhotra took over as governor in December.
Under his watch, the RBI has eased liquidity, delayed some regulations and loosened restrictions placed on some lenders.
"We think this bodes well for the financial sector and lays more emphasis on consumption and growth ... and (we) reiterate our bullish view," Macquarie analyst Suresh Ganapathy said in a note.
On the day, Bandhan Bank BANH.NS gained 6%, while Shriram Finance SHMF.NS, AU Small Finance Bank AUFI.NS and Ujjivan Small Finance Bank UJJI.NS rose about 5% each.
Cholamandalam Investment and Finance CHLA.NS and Aditya Birla Capital ADTB.NS advanced 4.5% each. Bajaj Finance BJFN.NS rose 2.7% and IndusInd Bank INBK.NS gained 2%.
In comparison, top private lenders such as ICICI Bank ICBK.NS and HDFC Bank HDBK.NS were up under 1%.
The RBI's move should help most NBFCs' earnings, Morgan Stanley analysts said, picking Aditya Birla Capital, PNB Housing, Shriram Finance and Bajaj Finance as top beneficiaries.
Nomura analysts said banks with higher microfinance loan exposure, such as Bandhan Bank, IndusInd and AU Small Finance Bank, would also get much needed relief.
Since the rules were implemented in November, Aditya Birla Capital's shares had slid 16%, while AU Small Finance Bank and IndusInd Bank sank 28% and 31%, respectively. The worst hit, with a 38% tumble, was Bandhan Bank -- the day's top gainer.
However, Axis Bank Chief Economist Neelkanth Mishra cautioned that a reversal in the broad-based slide in loan growth -- caused by high liquidity costs and the RBI's discomfort with high loan-to-deposit ratios -- could take time.
"While these (RBI) signals should help revive lending, we believe the binding constraint remains durable liquidity."

Indian banks' microfinance loan stress to persist after new, informal regulation, bankers say
By Siddhi Nayak
MUMBAI, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Indian lenders are bracing for another wave of defaults in their microfinance portfolios in the second half of the fiscal year after the banking regulator recently further tightened rules for such loans, four bankers said.
The default rates in microfinance loans -- collateral-free loans to those with annual income of up to 300,000 rupees ($3,556) -- had already jumped, as evidenced in the July-September results of IndusInd Bank INBK.NS, Kotak Mahindra Bank KTKM.NS, RBL Bank RATB.NS and Bandhan Bank BANH.NS.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), both the central bank and banking regulator, has previously publicly flagged unfair practices in the sector, including "usurious" interest rates and "unreasonably high" processing fees.
Last month, in its latest move, the RBI asked lenders to stop issuing new microfinance loans to borrowers unless they have cleared previous loans, three of the bankers said.
This, however, was conveyed informally, the bankers said, and could lead to cascading defaults as some borrowers will fail to repay dues without fresh credit. Banks offered such "netting off" of loans since many borrowers don't have a steady source of income, one banker said.
The RBI did not respond to an email from Reuters. Three bankers declined to be identified as they are not authorised to speak to the media.
Now, as the cessation of the netting-off impact starts playing out, loan installments will start spiraling and the stress in the sector should continue this quarter, said Venkatesh M, managing director of IIFL Samasta Finance.
"We are still not out of it."
The impact could last even longer, according to Gaurav Dua, senior vice-president and head of capital market strategy at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
"As regulations become stricter, stress will creep up and be prolonged. We think that this could play out for the next 4-6 months," Dua said.
Banks and non-bank lenders compete in the microfinance market, which has led to rapid growth in the availability of such credit. The total outstanding of such loans jumped by 18.3% on-year as of June-end, per latest data from industry body MFIN.
The RBI's instruction to stop netting off, one banker said, was to prevent evergreening loans -- in which banks extend new credit to borrowers unable to repay an existing loan, thereby concealing the true status of non-performing assets (NPAs) or bad loans.

India cenbank appoints director on Bandhan Bank's board
Updates with source input, analyst comment, share price
By Siddhi Nayak
MUMBAI, June 25 (Reuters) - India's central bank has appointed a director on the board of Bandhan Bank BANH.NS, the private lender said in a notification to exchanges late on Monday.
Arun Kumar Singh, a chief general manager at the Reserve Bank of India, will act as additional director of Bandhan Bank for one year from June 24, the lender said.
The central bank and the lender did not specify the reason for the decision.
India's central bank has the power to appoint directors on bank boards under the Banking Regulation Act and typically does so to increase oversight of a lender's operations.
"The main purpose to appoint an additional director was to ensure smooth management transition," a source familiar with the central bank's thinking said on Tuesday.
The RBI wanted to be a part of Bandhan Bank's board and decision-making process, especially "when things are not very rosy for the bank", the source said, without offering more details.
The source did not wish to be identified because he was not authorised to speak with the media.
The RBI did not immediately respond to a Reuters' email seeking comment.
Bandhan Bank is set to see a management transition as Managing Director and CEO Chandra Shekhar Ghosh retires on July 9 after spending nearly a decade at the helm.
The RBI has yet to approve a name for the CEO's post and the process is underway, the source said.
Shares of the Mumbai-listed Bandhan Bank fell 4.4% in early trade on Tuesday, but pared losses to trade down 1.4%.
Macquarie analyst Suresh Ganapathy said in a note that while he expects Bandhan's stock to fall in the near-term, the RBI's move "is more of a prudent measure".
Bandhan Bank reported a 93% drop in net profit in the three months to March 31, as it wrote-off bad loans and made provisions for potential non-performing loans.
The bank had in January disclosed that a set of loans it gave out during the COVID-19 pandemic under a government-backed scheme were being examined by the National Credit Guarantee Trustee Company, an agency set up by the government to cover defaults by small businesses.

India's Bandhan Bank posts slide in Q4 net profit on write-offs, higher provisions
MUMBAI, May 17 (Reuters) - Indian private lender Bandhan Bank BANH.NS reported a 93% drop in fourth-quarter net profit on Friday as it increased provisions and wrote off bad loans.
The Kolkata-based bank's net profit stood at 546.3 million rupees ($6.56 million) in the three months ended March 31, down from 8.08 billion in the same quarter a year ago.
Bandhan Bank's provisions and contingencies jumped to 17.74 billion rupees from 7.35 billion rupees a year earlier.
The bank wrote off bad loans worth 38.5 billion rupees in the January-March period, compared with none in the past four quarters.
These were loans given to small borrowers during the pandemic and were covered by a government guarantee.
However, the loans were being examined by the National Credit Guarantee Trustee Company, an agency set up by the government, the bank said, which could delay a payout of the government guarantee.
The bank termed the write-offs as a "prudent measure".
Its gross non-performing asset ratio - a key gauge of asset quality - improved to 3.84% as of March-end from 7.02% at the end of the prior three months as a result of the write-offs.
Bandhan Bank is set to see a management transition after Managing Director and Chief Executive Chandra Shekhar Ghosh said he would retire on July 9, after spending nearly a decade at the helm.
The lender's net interest income rose 16% on-year to 28.66 billion rupees, while net interest margin stood at 7.6%.
Its loans grew 14.3%, while deposits rose 25%.
Shares of the bank ended 0.9% higher ahead of the results on Friday.
