Selvan further stated that the assets under management (AUM) growth may not look significantly higher but if one looks at FY20 versus FY22, he will see a good growth. One also needs to accommodate this moratorium impact on the AUM, he noted.

January was a good month, even February was more or less equal, marginally surpassed the January collection. So on the ground, the earning potential of the customer has been improving and they are able to now service the loan comfortably. That is giving us the comfort and that we are seeing being reflected in our collection efficiency,” he pointed out.
