Driven by the philosophy of \u2018Aapka Bhala. Sabki Bhalai.\u2019, (<em>Your benefit. Everyone\u2019s welfare<\/em>.) Bandhan Bank\u2019s core purpose has graduated from financial inclusion to inclusive banking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us understand more about Bandhan Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bandhan Bank Company Overview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bandhan was set up in 2001 as a&nbsp;not-for-profit&nbsp;entity with the objective of financial inclusion and&nbsp;women empowerment&nbsp;through sustainable livelihood creation. It started its microfinance operations from Bagnan, a small village about 60 km from&nbsp;Kolkata. The model followed for delivering microfinance services was individual lending through group formation. Bandhan focused on serving under-banked and underpenetrated markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2006, Bandhan acquired a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) and created Bandhan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/what-is-financial-advisory-complete-guide\/\">Financial Services<\/a> Private Limited (BFSPL) to scale up its&nbsp;microfinance&nbsp;activities. 2010 it became the country&#8217;s largest microfinance institution (MFI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In April&nbsp;2014, Bandhan received in-principle approval from the&nbsp;Reserve Bank of India&nbsp;(RBI). On June 17, 2015, RBI granted the banking license to Bandhan, making it the first-ever microfinance institution to become a universal bank in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bandhan Bank commenced operations on August 23, 2015. The then&nbsp;Union Finance Minister, Late Shri&nbsp;Arun Jaitley, inaugurated the Bank in&nbsp;Kolkata. Its public shareholders then included the International Finance Corporation; Caladium Investment Pte Ltd (Singapore\u2019s sovereign wealth fund, an arm of GIC); and&nbsp;the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On 27 March 2018, Bandhan Bank was listed on the&nbsp;bourses&nbsp;and became the 8th largest bank in India by market capitalization on the day of listing itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bandhan Bank Journey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The timeline below depicts the Bank\u2019s journey since inception and the most important events contributing to its growth and success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>2001:<\/strong> Bandhan started as a society for financial inclusion and women\u2019s empowerment through sustainable livelihood creation.

Bandhan Bank delivered a NIM of 7.3% in Q1FY24. NIM range is higher for Bandhan vs. other banks due to the nature of high-risk lending that it does, especially in the micro-finance segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NII, however, has grown significantly from INR ~4,500 Cr in FY19 to INR 9,260 Cr in FY23 on the back of an increase in loan book while maintaining the NIMs in the 7-8% range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-16.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22411\" style=\"width:556px;height:325px\" width=\"556\" height=\"325\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-16.png 902w, https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-16-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-16-768x449.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Bandhan Bank Annual Reports FY20-FY23<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Asset Quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>NPA stands for Non-Performing Asset. It refers to a loan or an advance where the borrower has not paid the interest or the principal amount for a specified period, usually for 90 days or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gross NPA refers to the total value of a bank&#8217;s non-performing assets. Net NPA, on the other hand, is the value of NPA after reducing the provisions made by the bank to cover the losses that may arise from such non-performing assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bandhan Bank operates in the high-risk micro-finance segment where NPAs are traditionally very high, hence the high lending rate. NPAs went up significantly during COVID-19, as seen in the chart below. However, GNPA and NNPA have improved from FY21, driven by improved collection and recovery post-Covid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Q1FY24, GNPA\/NNPA ratios deteriorated 189bn\/101 bp to 6.8%\/2.2% primarily due to ECLGS (Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme) covered advances amounting to INR 5.8 bn being classified as NPA as per RBI Circular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: The ECLGS scheme was launched as a part of the Atma Nirbhar Bharat package for the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) borrowers to mitigate the distress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-17.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22412\" style=\"width:530px;height:309px\" width=\"530\" height=\"309\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-17.png 902w, https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-17-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-17-768x449.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Bandhan Bank Annual Report FY23<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advances &amp; Deposits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An advance refers to a loan or credit extended by a bank to its customers.
