Details on INR 21 crore contingency provision for specific accounts.

These are normal, you know, these are not some high-value specific cases. These are normal business banking working capital cases. We assess the risk, you know, assuming that, the risk assessment, whether what amount is covered through our security and other thing, through recommendation and is provided.

Reason for hiking deposit rates ahead of industry.

In terms of liability, you know, we are not focusing on one data point or, you know, one way of building it up, right? It is a combination of 3-4 variables like, you know, one is how much you want to raise the cost of money, you know, how you want to play your CASA, how you want to play your retail versus wholesale, you know, the overall CD ratio.

ROA at 1.8% - focus on driving up or sustaining?

Kunal, obviously, you know, we know that Q4 is always seasonally strong, right? That 1.8% also, you know, reflects that strong seasonality. You know, our goal would be to maintain this ROA or achieve this ROA on a full year basis for next year.

Quantify IT refund and recoveries impact on margins.

I think on this side, right, there was some IT refund. I would not say that was material to the overall movement. It helped by a tiny bit, but nothing specific to call out there.

How will tech investments translate into cost ratios?

I'm not able to imagine that what kind of cost reduction that AI will do us because it's a very early stage. ... To get to some number is difficult, Nitin, in this call. Maybe down the line one year you will be able to figure out that, you know, how much it will help us.

Should we benchmark credit cost at Q4 level going forward?

I would advise anybody that you should actually build this quarter credit cost as an overall cost for next year, you know. If you ask me, you should build it around 90 basis points or maybe in that range so that, you know, it allows franchise to have some kind of risk-taking capability.

Impact of ECL norms on steady-state credit cost.

ECL guideline has just come in, right? We haven't- I'm so sorry to give any guidance around it. You know, you have to give us some time.

Geographical liability expansion strategy.

I think if you ask me the most important strategy which we work on daily basis or maybe in execution or any meeting or any review is around liability franchise. ... We want to become a pan-India franchise. We want to open around 80-100 branches every year.

evasive

How to strengthen PCR and contingency provisions?

PCR is not a defined number. It goes by the provisioning policy. There is no change in the provisioning policy, right? The ECL guideline as it would come and we need to follow from first, you know, April 2027. Obviously, some of it, you know, will have a impact on stage one, stage two, but then your accelerated provisioning at stage three might get released.

How to think about margins going into next year?

I think on this specific thing margins right I'll repeat what I said earlier right? On cost of funds, I think we've said that you know this quarter cost of funds may have bottomed out with the rate increases we have taken right? ... To the extent that you know Q4 is strong seasonally and Q1 is weaker you won't see this benefit in the next quarter.

Akshay Jain · Autonomous

deflected

Loan mix growth from southern geography and segments.

You know, I would say that it's too operational now. You know, we have become one bank and it's not about southern market or north market, you know. ... I think it's not relevant because, you want to judge our overall growth rather than some market growth, you know.

Ashlesh Sonje · Kotak Securities

Long-term target for cost of funds relative to repo rate.

I think the long-term target or the long term, I would say, the way we are pushing internally that our cost of money should be around the repo rate prevalent at that time. ... That's a long-term dream and target, you know, but can't comment that when we'll we reach there.
