Utkarsh SFB publishes newspaper ads for NPA sale & EGM announcement.
Utkarsh Small Finance Bank is selling two pools of stressed MFI loans totaling ₹1,491 crore. Binding bids are due by March 30, 2026. The bank also issued a corrigendum for its EGM on March 30, 2026, clarifying a ₹800 crore loan to its subsidiary and providing updated financial percentages.
The sale of a significant portion of NPAs can impact the bank's asset quality and financial health. The EGM is related to a substantial loan to a subsidiary, which could have future implications.
The announcement involves the sale of NPAs and a corrigendum for an EGM, which are routine business operations and clarifications. While the sale of NPAs is a step towards improving asset quality, the EGM clarification is procedural.
Utkarsh Small Finance Bank Limited has published newspaper advertisements in Financial Express and Jansatta on March 27, 2026, regarding the sale of NPAs and written-off loans to Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs). This follows a previous intimation on March 26, 2026, where the authorized Management Committee approved the proposal. The bank is inviting Expressions of Interest (EOI) from interested ARCs for two pools of unsecured stressed MFI loans, with aggregate principal outstanding as of December 31, 2025, amounting to ₹1,016.24 crore for Pool 1 and ₹474.75 crore for Pool 2. The binding bids are due by 10:00 AM on March 30, 2026.
Additionally, the bank has issued a corrigendum to its earlier intimation dated March 26, 2026, concerning an Extra-ordinary General Meeting (EGM) scheduled for March 30, 2026. The corrigendum clarifies that the proposed loan by the bank to its subsidiary, Utkarsh CoreInvest Limited, for ₹800 crore will be secured by a charge on the subsidiary's assets. It also corrects the percentages related to the bank's turnover and consolidated turnover in the explanatory statement for the EGM. The EGM will be conducted through e-voting from March 27, 2026, 9:00 AM to March 29, 2026, 5:00 PM, with the final voting on March 30, 2026.
