Pursuant to relaxation permitted by SEBI, the company had filed an addendum to its DRHP revising its Offer Size for the proposed IPO of its equity shares as below:
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...
