Quarter Ended Sep 2024 was last profitable quarter, now 4 quarter of losses are complete. During this time, Interest income reduced more than 50% (on account of AUM reduction, as well as Yield compression - RBI ban impact), Interest expenses also reduced (on account of repayment of loans), but Provisions increased (on account of bad debt), and fixed cost such as Employee cost just slightly reduced, other expenses (major chunk of operational & administrative fixed cost) also almost same.
