During the quarter, we witnessed strong AUM growth of 37% YoY, led by a 23% YoY increase in disbursements. Our margins remained in line with our guidance for the medium term at 6.1%. Our return ratios continue to remain healthy at 5.6% RoA and 14.3% RoE.

The increase in the target by 3 crore houses (rural as well as urban) goes well for those who wish to avail the benefits of the scheme.
