Nice report…
It states
"Near-term asset quality and growth impact is inevitable, not only for BAJF but for the … "
“Expect AUM growth to pick up in FY22…”
I think any assessment of FY 22 can not be made at this stage.we should factor in for pandemic to recede, assess the delinquent loans, NPAs, job losses, vaccine development and availabiity and change in buyer’s behavior post pandemic.All these are not easy answers as of today and any assessment without these factors could be too much off the reality

GUIDANCE - At this juncture, based on our assessment, 75+ cities should revert to pre-COVID volumes by October, 40 75 Cities by end November, 10-40 cities by January and top 10 cities by March. All this is of course subject to Government of India not enforcing a 2nd national lockdown. Based on this assessment, the Company estimates AUM growth of 10-12% in FY21 .
-
GUIDANCE - The Company last provided an update on its credit cost scenario model on 6 April 2020. The company considered lockdown of up to 50-days for its various scenario planning. Estimated an 80-90% increase in credit costs (₹ 5,400-5,700 Crore for FY21) assuming lockdown till 15 May 2020. However, the national lockdown continued for 68 consecutive days till 31 May 2020 and it was followed by multiple district / state level lockdowns imposed by respective local authorities. At this juncture, big cities like Bangalore and Pune are in midst of more stringent lockdown than the national lockdown. The Company has now updated its credit cost scenario model for FY21 considering extended disruptions. It now estimates its credit costs to increase by 100-110% ( ₹6,000-6,300 crore for FY21) over the pre-COVID credit cost of previous year.

Hi guys, Does anyone know the outstanding gold loan AUM for Bajaj finance. They used to disclose this earlier (until their FY19 annual report), but this number is missing (or I couldn’t find it) in their FY20 AR. If anyone can point it to me, it will be really helpful.

RBL Bank, however, decided to take a different approach. It told customers of ‘Bajaj Finserv RBL Bank SuperCard’, launched in February 2017, that they could withdraw cash with no interest levied up to 50 days. A flat processing fee of 2.5% would be charged.

Hi…I am new to this thread, so pardon my ignorance.
Can someone guide me as to where can one research for / find the commercial paper rates at which Bajaj Finance is borrowing vs other NBFCs like Sriram Tpt, Cholamandalam, Mahindra Fin etc.
Because if the rate differential is substantial, it would be a major source of competitive advantage.
Thanks.

Thanks a lot…@hack2abi
Can u also guide me to the source of this data for future ref.
It ll be a great help !!!
Thanks @ranvir for addressing that. I am also trying to find that. By looking at the the chart seems like Bajaj Finance cost of borrowing is not low. I heard they are borrowing at 3-5% rate. @hack2abi can please shed some light on it
Collected from various investor presentations, Annual reports, press releases made by companies from time to time.
@sandyinfo These are weighted average figures provided by the companies. The incremental cost of borrowing will be somewhat different depending on the market environment.
