Margin decline drivers and lowest sourcing rate in home loans
Asked by Gorav Khandelwal, JP Morgan
Management explained drivers but did not provide the exact lowest sourcing rate.
Read the exchange
First on the margin decline by 12 basis points. A lot of this came from assets decline. Can we know which product segments drove this? ... how much was the lowest sourcing rate in home loans in the quarter?
margin decline of a 12 beeps is largely by lower acquisition price and also 15 beeps of a pass through... home loan the acquisition front the yields have compressed because of a competitive intensity... lowest sourcing is in line with whatever public sector bank lowest sourcing will happen.

Asked by Gorav Khandelwal, JP Morgan
Management gave a clear outlook for Q1 and full year margin trajectory.
Read the exchange
is it fair to assume that at least of first quarter the yields should broadly remain stable if not fall down?
yields in quarter one there would be slight compression... through the year we will see some contraction in the margin which will get partially offset by opex efficiency and partially offset by lower loan losses.

Need for further PLR cuts and OS behavior in rate hike
Asked by Viral (Vir?), Capital (likely)
Management directly answered both parts with specific data.
Read the exchange
do you first of all see any need and requirement for say reducing the PLR rates further... how will this behave in say a rate hike scenario and secondly what is the share of floating rate borrowings
I don't think the scenario of a cut of rate is over... floating rate borrowings are today 63%... if there is a policy rate hike it has never happened that there is no pass through.
