However, its total income declined by four per cent to ₹2,951 crore during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as against ₹3,071 crore during the corresponding quarter last year.

“During the quarter, the company increased its shareholding in Ideal Finance Limited (IFL), Sri Lanka from 38.2 per cent to 58.2 per cent. IFL is now a subsidiary of the company. This stake increase has resulted in revaluation of existing equity stake in IFL, which led to a one-time revaluation gain of Rs 21 crore, which is shown as exceptional item in the second quarter 2021-22 consolidated financials,” Mahindra Finance said in a statement on Thursday.

Disbursements grew by 61 per cent year on year on year to ₹6,475 crore in the second quarter of the fiscal. “But for the supply side issues, the disbursements would have grown further,” the company added.

Mahindra Finance, the NBFC arm of the Mahindra Group has reported a 100% collection efficiency for the month of September, as per latest figures revealed by the company. This is on the back of improvement in mobility during September even as the economy opens up post Covid.

The company’s September collection efficiency is an improvement over the levels of 95% and 97% in July and August, 2021 respectively. This has resulted in the further reduction in the NPA contracts during September, a trend which the company feels will continue in the third quarter of FY22.

During September, the company’s total disbursement stood at Rs 1900 crore, a growth of 23% on a YOY basis, albeit on a lower base in FY21 due to the first wave of the pandemic. During Q2 of FY22, the total disbursement stood at Rs 6450 crore, a 60% YOY growth over Q2 of FY21.
