Furthermore, the company stated that in FY22, it took an early write-off of loan balances of Rs 304.73 crore (40,983 accounts) due to a change in the recovery expectation of a certain category of retail accounts in stage 3 (NPA).

Furthermore, the company stated that the RBI's November 2021 circular on prudential requirements on income recognition and asset classification with regard to advances has had no impact on its profit and loss account, said PTI.
