X bucket means those accounts which are not having any overdue as at the end of previous month. X bucket collection efficiency represents collections of that particular month’s EMI from such X bucket accounts during that particular month divided by total EMIs from all such X bucket accounts
Commenting on the collection trends, Mr. P N Vasudevan, Managing Director and CEO of Equitas Small Finance Bank said: The first quarter of the year witnessed tepid repayments as most of the regions the Bank operates in were under lockdown. The Bank’s borrowers are largely in the informal segments dealing in daily use products and services which were temporarily disrupted due to the COVID-19 restrictions imposed. However, during the month of June 2021, states in the West and North experienced improved collection efficiencies as lockdowns eased while Southern states opened up towards the end of the month. We anticipate a sharp improvement in collections in the coming months as COVID wave 2 recedes.
At Equitas we continue to play a strong supportive role in conjunction with various State Governments by organizing a total of 1,248 vaccination camps for low income communities, benefitting 1,52,013 people.
Please note that the numbers mentioned above as on June 30, 2021 are provisional unaudited numbers and is subject to review / examine by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors and are subject to review by the Statutory Auditors of the Bank.
