Analyst raised concern about ~30% of customers upgrading to banks/captive finance after 6-8 years. Management plans to retain with rate benefits but internal rating-based pricing may create segmentation complexity with better quality customers expecting lower rates.
Cost-to-income ratio increased to 29.66% from 28.59% YoY due to Rs 196.95 crore one-time impact from new labor code gratuity adjustments. Even ex-gratuity, employee costs rose ~100 crore sequentially despite 1,000 employee reduction, attributed to festive season incentive payouts.
