IndusInd to re-enter personal loans

The bank may launch personal loan products in October-December, said a senior official of the bank. “We are looking at launching the products in a selective way. Initially, the product, which is scheduled to be launched in the third quarter of the financial year, will only be sold to the bank’s existing clients,” the official said.

The private sector bank will, however, adopt a cautious approach in granting personal loans, a business characterised by high delinquencies.

The bank’s exposure to the personal loans segment is a mere Rs 200 million, against total outstanding loans worth Rs 130 billion.

The bank has about 2 million clients. The ticket size of the personal loan product will range from Rs 50,000 to Rs 300,000.
