Arohan, with three other lenders serving the lower-income group customers, was on October 17, 2024 barred from lending for charging excessive interest spreads over costs of funds and for gaps in household income assessment of borrowers resulting in overlending among other issues.
RBI removed the restriction on Arohan in the first week of January.
«Our board took a very positive approach in guiding the management and used this (situation) to introduce a first in the sector, a self-imposed margin cap of 12% over the cost of funds and also a max 25% growth guidance for any business year,» Arohan managing director Manoj Kumar Nambiar said in the company's latest quarterly newsletter.
It may be recalled that before the removal of lending rate cap by the regulator in 2022, bigger NBFC-MFIs were following a 10% margin cap norm.
