The Company Equitas Small Finance Bank IPO proposes to utilise the Net Proceeds from the Issue towards the following objects:
S.No. | Objects of the Issue | Expected Amount (₹ in crores) |
---|---|---|
1 | Towards augmenting our Bank’s Tier I capital base to meet our Bank’s future capital requirements |
[Dilip Davda] The company that was primarily the micro finance company is now turning small finance bank with diverse financial services. Based on Q1 FY21 earnings, the issue appears aggressively priced. Sustainability of such performance is doubtful with ongoing agitations by weaker sections for waiver of interest and PIL filed in Supreme Court in this regard (hearing is scheduled for first week of November 2020). Thus in near term, banking industry in general and SFBs/MFIs in particular are likely to face some setbacks. Considering these, investors may consider investment for long term. Read detail review...
