partialHow to think about rate cut transmission into NIMs, specifically borrowings and SLR investments.
We manage our balance sheet on a duration basis. We have a tightly matched duration on assets and liabilities. On rate transmission across assets, we are policy-led. On liability repricing, we've done savings account rate cut and moderation on retail term deposit rates.

evasiveHow much of month-end deposit growth has been retained post-quarter end?
We do not offer comment on how much of that money stays retained. You will see that visible in our quarter one reporting number.

partialQuantify impact of tightened provisioning policy on FY2026 and details on security receipts write-back.
We have written back provisions of INR 801 crore on security receipts. We have INR 537 crore of interest not booked. The provisioning policies remain the tightest. We tweaked how we classify assets at the margin, relating to one-time settlements.

partialProvide quantification of Citi integration synergy benefits and outcomes.
We had a specific plan over six quarters. At the end of six quarters, we came a bit ahead of the plan in terms of the synergy benefits. It ticked all the boxes. Additional benefits were improving premium base and seasoned credit card customers.

directConfirm if credit card portfolio stabilizing while personal loans take longer.
Yes, you heard the comment correctly. The card portfolio is stabilizing, and the personal loan portfolio will take a few more quarters to show improvement. The vintages have not matured enough for a concrete outlook.
Kunal Shah · Citigroup
evasiveWhy credit card stabilizing earlier than personal loans? Any particular cohort?
Underwriting is not an exact science. The card corrections have started playing through. We do not think there is further color that we have at the moment to offer on the P&L portfolio.

declinedWhat will trigger loan growth to catch up with industry average?
We do not offer guidance. I think Amitabh has said how we see our business shape up and the confidence that we have in the franchise, we do not have guidance to offer for FY 2026.
Will loan growth pick up ahead of deposit growth given LCR release and excess SLR?
If the liquidity in the system continues to be there, it will hopefully flow through growth in deposits. We do believe we have the franchise to grow retail asset classes. In a constrained deposit environment, we give limited money to highest ROC assets.
Harsh Wardhan Modi · J.P. Morgan
directAny second-order impact from trade tariffs on asset quality?
We've done a fairly elaborate bottom-up work on impact on tariffs across industries. At this point in time, on everything that we know around tariffs, the impact on the portfolio is negligible.

partialClarify tweaks to provisioning policy and impact on FY2026 upgrades/recoveries.
We have said the way we look to we are getting more stringent on how we classify accounts, not upgrade accounts. An example is how we deal with one-time settlement. This change could impact FY 2026 slippages over FY 2025.
M B Mahesh · Kotak
evasiveQuantify the marginal impact of provisioning policy change for FY2026.
It will be marginal. It will not be exponential. It was argued you could flag it off, so we flagged it off.
Ankit Bihani · Nomura
directWas there any impact of lower number of days in the quarter on reported NIMs?
The day impact is negligible to non-existent in our book. The four basis points improvement is improvement in asset quality, two basis points. Improvement in spread, two basis points. Also, spread improvement to two basis points.
