LCR deposit number and outlook on deposit growth constraints.

I think he spoke about LCR at 118, where we are on an average for the quarter. Typically, if you see over the last 18 quarters, we've bobbed between 115 and 120. That is, that is where, you know, we are, we're quite comfortable...

Bulk deposits timing and LDR outlook for FY25.

So, Mahrukh, this is Neeraj here. On your question around the bulk deposit pricing, I think, bulk deposit pricing continues to be inching up steadily through the quarter. It's not just a quarter-end phenomena.

LDR range for FY25.

Mahrukh, thank you for the question. We don't offer a range on LDR. We think there are multiple variables through which we manage our balance sheet. LDR is one of the variables. We do not have a targeted LDR that, that we discuss publicly.

Deposit mix shift to non-retail term deposits and impact on cost.

Suresh, thank you for the question. Couple of things. I think while we look at slide eight, I will also request you to look at slide nine and slide eight collectively. On slide nine, you will see that our retail term deposits have grown by 17% on a year-on-year basis...

Capital adequacy and internal CET1 threshold.

Suresh, thank you for the question. I think the framework that we've consistently adopted with respect to capital is we think about capital on two pillars, capital for protection and capital for growth. Under the protection pillar, we look at regulatory capital as well as capital to protect domestic triple-A. Even at 13.71, we carry sufficient cushion over both those areas.

Loan mix shift towards unsecured and steady state mix target.

So, the consumer business, especially the personal loan business, has been growing. But if you see slide 22, in terms of retail disbursement trend, quarter-on-quarter, that number in terms of composition is down to 22% from 25% in the previous quarter, which really means that the other assets also are growing.

Jai Mundhra · ICICI Securities

Timeline for deposit and credit growth convergence at 13%.

I mean, if you look at all the commentary coming from RBI and the governor and the commentary around inflation, I think it is quite obvious that this is not just next three months event, this will continue into financial year 25, and I think stay during financial 25 for you know, almost the entire year, unless something dramatic happens.

Rikin Shah · IIFL Securities

Increase in repo-linked loans and removal of cost guidance.

Firstly, we are not in the impending rate cut camp, so let me get that out of the way first. I think, you know, as you know, that all of retail or much of retail and almost all of SME is repo linked, and therefore, as that book grows, it continues to be repo linked.

Kunal Shah · Citigroup

Growth guidance vs deposit constraint and cost of funds gap.

Boss, you're, you're trying to hold us quarter-on-quarter. I think we continue to maintain our guidance, that in the medium term we'll continue to be able to maintain that 400-600 basis point differential. We're not changing that.

Quantum of written-off book and recovery outlook.

Saurabh, thank you for your question. I think if you look at slide 62 of our investor presentation, you will see a table that gives you the cumulative value of credit write-offs to date. The number as Q3 of FY 2024 is INR 40,211 crore.

Param Subramanian · Nomura

Government deposit market share and pricing actions post risk weight hike.

So you're right. You know, historically, we've had a strong relationship with the government at the central state government, district panchayats, right down to the beneficiaries. And we continue to leverage on those relationships.

Sameer Desai · JM Financial

evasive

Potential second-order asset quality impact from liquidity tightness.

Well, it's difficult to predict at this stage. I think it's given where the Indian banking system is, where the consumer sentiment is, yes, and the way regulator is watching the metrics so closely and so actively, I do not see the second order impact coming through, you know, in any big or significant way.
