What the record says.
IIFL Finance delivered a strong Q3 FY26 with consolidated PAT of ₹501 crore, up 20% QoQ, driven by gold loan AUM crossing pre-embargo levels at ₹43,432 crore (up 26% QoQ). Asset quality improved significantly: GNPA fell to 1.6% (from 2.14% YoY) and NNPA dropped below 1%. The core portfolio (gold, home, MSME, MFI) now constitutes 95% of AUM. Management guided for 20-25% overall AUM growth in FY27, with housing finance targeting 15-18% growth and credit costs expected to fall below 2% next year. A special income tax audit under Section 142(2A) was clarified as procedural with no financial impact. Key risk: elevated credit costs from legacy unsecured portfolios may persist longer than guided.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects consolidated AUM to grow 20-25% next fiscal, driven by gold loans and housing finance.
- Housing finance AUM to grow 15-18% with disbursements growing 24-25%, focusing on affordable and emerging segments.
- Credit cost expected to fall 50-60 bps from current ~2.5% to below 2% next fiscal, driven by portfolio cleanup.
- Management aims to return to normalized ROE of 18-20% over the medium term as credit costs normalize.
Risks flagged
- A special audit under Section 142(2A) for a 6-year block period could result in tax demands, though management considers it procedural.
- Rapid gold loan growth may strain standalone capital (Tier 1 ~12.8%), requiring co-lending or equity raise if not managed.
- Provisions for discontinued unsecured MSME and personal loans remain elevated (~₹300 Cr/quarter), though expected to decline.
- New strategy focusing on affordable/emerging segments may take 2-3 quarters to improve yields and growth.
Key quotes
- This is not a finding, this is not an allegation and not an adjudication. Such procedural audits are not uncommon for large diversified financial companies.
- Our gold loan AUM has comfortably crossed and moved beyond the pre-embargo level.
- We have seen that sometimes some segments do much better than expected, some segments do a little lower. On the whole, you should see about 20-25% AUM growth next year.
