L&T Finance to trim bank borrowing to whittle spike in cost of funds

Leading non-banking player L&T Finance expects its cost of funds to marginally rise by 12-14 basis points due to the recent RBI action related to unsecured credit, and also plans to reduce borrowings from banks. L&T Finance has said it will cut its borrowings from banks and instead increase its loans from the markets through instruments such as NCDs in response to the Reserve Bank's hiking of the risk weightage on unsecured consumer loans. "To contain the impact of this on margins, the company will increase its borrowings from markets through debt securities (NCDs), Commercial Papers (CPs) and even external commercial borrowings, L&T Finance Managing Director and Chief Executive Dinanath Dubhashi said.

RBI puts Rs 2.5 cr penalty on L&T Finance for non-compliance of NBFCs norms

The Reserve Bank of India on Friday said a penalty of Rs 2.5 crore has been imposed on L&T Finance Ltd for non-compliance with certain norms concerning non-banking financial companies (NBFCs). After examination of reports following statutory inspection of the company, the RBI said it was revealed that the NBFC did not disclose to its retail borrowers, the gradation of risk and rationale for charging different interest rates to different categories of borrowers in the loan application form/sanction letter. It also failed to notify the change in penal interest rate to borrowers, when it charged penal interest rate higher than what was communicated at the time of sanction, the RBI said.

Retail-focused non-bank lender L&T Finance Holdings on Friday reported a 46 per cent year-on-year jump in consolidated net income to Rs 501 crore for the March 2023 quarter, boosted by better margins as its high-yielding retail book grew at a faster rate.
