Strengths & Risks

  • As of June 30, 2023, ESAF Small Finance Bank served over 3.25 million customers with Micro Loans, and a significant majority of these customers were women.
  • As of June 30, 2023, their products and services were available in 21 states and two union territories in India.
  • Their gross micro-loans outside Kerala amounted to Rs. 4330.5 crore as of June 30, 2023. The top five states, excluding Kerala, with the highest gross microloans were Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, and Chhattisgarh. These states collectively held Rs. 5043.7 crore, representing 49.27% of their total gross microloans.
  • Their customer base in rural and semi-urban areas increased from 3 million as of March 31, 2021, to 4.07 million as of June 30, 2023.
  • In 2023, ESAF Small Finance Bank was honored with the 'Excellence in Customer Service and Product Distribution' award, the 'Best Customer Experience Bank of the Year' award, and the 'Innovative Bank of the Year' award.
  • ESAF Small Finance Bank's total deposits increased from Rs. 8999.4 crore as of March 31, 2021, to Rs. 15655.85 crore as of June 30, 2023. This represents a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 27.66%.
  • Their NRI deposits also experienced growth, rising from Rs. 2019.15 crore as of March 31, 2021, to Rs. 3285.33 crore as of June 30, 2023. This growth amounted to a CAGR of 25.22%.
  • As of June 30, 2023, and March 31, 2023, as well as in 2022 and 2021, 74.70%, 75.04%, 81.16%, and 84.80%, respectively, of the total advances managed by ESAF Small Finance Bank consisted of microloans. A decrease in demand for these microloans could potentially have a negative impact on the bank's business, financial health, and cash flows.
  • As of June 30, 2023, and March 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, 75.15%, 75.35%, 83.59%, and 85.50% of the advances were unsecured. If the bank cannot recover these advances promptly, it may adversely affect its financial condition, results, and cash flows.
  • ESAF Small Finance Bank primarily operates in South India, specifically in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and the Union Territory of Puducherry. Any negative changes in the economy of South India could adversely affect the bank's financial situation and cash flows.
  • As of March 31, 2023, the bank failed to meet 17 of the 272 Risk-Based Supervision (RBS) Tranche III requirements. Penalties imposed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for this non-compliance could harm the bank's reputation, financial condition, and cash flows.
  • Additionally, two of the bank's selling shareholders, PNB MetLife and Bajaj Allianz, have faced orders and penalties from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
  • The bank must establish a reserve fund by transferring at least 25% of the annual profit disclosed in the profit and loss account before declaring any dividends.
  • As of June 30, 2023, and March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the gross non-performing advances (NPAs) as a percentage of gross advances were 1.65%, 2.49%, 7.83%, and 6.70%, respectively. Ineffective control over the level of gross NPAs or an inability to improve the Provision Coverage Ratio could adversely affect the bank's business, financial condition, and cash flows.
  • The bank, along with its promoters, is involved in several significant legal proceedings, including 862 criminal proceedings, with a total amount involved of Rs. 7.89 crores. Any unfavorable developments in these cases could potentially harm the bank's reputation, business, and cash flows.
