About Utkarsh Small Finance Bank Ltd

The Bank was incorporated as `Utkarsh Small Finance Bank Limited' on April 30, 2016 at Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh as a public limited company under the Companies Act, 2013 and was granted a certificate of incorporation by the Registrar of Companies, Central Registration Centre. Its Promoter, Utkarsh CoreInvest Limited (formerly known as Utkarsh Micro Finance Limited), was granted an in-principle approval to establish a small finance bank (SFB), by the RBI, pursuant to its letter dated October 7, 2015. Subsequently, the Bank received the final approval of the RBI to carry on the business as an SFB on November 25, 2016. The Bank commenced its business operations on January 23, 2017 and was included in the second schedule to the RBI Act pursuant to a notification issued by the RBI dated October 4, 2017 and published in the Gazette of India (Part III - Section 4) dated November 7, 2017.

To promote financial inclusion, the Indian banking industry has seen several changes in recent years. As of March 31, 2023, the RBI has awarded SFB licences to 12 players keeping in with the government's focus on financial inclusion and inclusive banking. SFBs' target audience is the low-income segment, who can be wooed with a sachet level product suite. Unlike NBFCs, which expand horizontally with a special focus product, such as vehicle loan, microfinance loans or housing finance, SFBs can expand vertically and horizontally offering multiple loan products as well as deposit products. Loan portfolio CAGR of approximately 22% between Fiscal 2023 - Fiscal 2025 is expected for SFBs.

Utkarsh Small Finance Bank Limited is an SFB in India and recorded the third fastest Gross Loan Portfolio growth between Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2023 among SFBs with Gross Loan Portfolio of more than Rs. 60 billion.
