V. Vaidyanathan CEO said it should come down. It increased as the bank had start-up costs for branches and ATMs etc. Also the bank\u2019s asset products are relatively higher cost of products. The bank added that though the bank\u2019s cost structure is relatively high but the company expects cost to income should begin to come down.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Kunal Shah from ICICI Securities also asked about the slippage run rate overall, which saw a decline. Sudhanshu Jain, CFO commented that the company saw the overall net slippage coming down by 25% compared to previous quarter on the retail front and on the overall there was a toll account that slipped into NPA in the current quarter.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Ishan Agarwal with Erevna Capital asked that if the NII for the quarter included the interest income for the telecom account for the prior periods or it\u2019s the core net interest income. Sudhanshu Jain, CFO answered that interest income for the quarter includes income on the telecom account for the prior period. Also added that the quantum of the prior period income added in NII would be about INR100 crores.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Ishan Agarwal with Erevna Capital also enquired about the blended retail yield for the retail book for Q3. Sudhanshu Jain, CFO answered that the incremental yield can be assumed at about 14.5-15% on the retail book. This number is expected to be slightly lower for FY23-24 as the bank is focused more on prime home loans and doing well in that.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Ishan Agarwal with Erevna Capital also asked if the bank is confident of crossing the 6% mark on NIM sooner. V. Vaidyanathan CEO said that it should inch up and between 5.9% and 6% is not a big gap to fill.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Prakhar Agrawal from Edelweiss asked what was the gross slippage number, recovery and write off for Q3 and the previous quarter.

Sudhanshu Jain CFO said that on the wholesale, the book is very pristine and that\u2019s getting reflected in the improvement in the rating mix. On an external rating basis, more than 79% of the book is rated A and above and based on internal rating about 80% is rated A and above, excluding the infrastructure book. Therefore, A and above is 79% and BBB and below is 21%, including wholesale and infra.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Aditya Singhania with ENAM Holdings asked about the breakup of provision line item and fee income.

Vaidyanathan CEO said that this included a certain amount that came due to prior period of the telecom account. And in terms of yield, it has been broadly stable compared to previous quarter, it came down on a blended basis by about 10 bps. On the other hand the cost of funds came down by 20 bps during 3Q.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Trimukh from B&amp;K Securities asked that on deposits, what\u2019s the share of top 20 depositors and what\u2019s the average ticket size in SA and TD, also if it\u2019s 100% sourced from branches or non-branch sources. V. Vaidyanathan CEO said that on deposit, the bank largely does sourcing through its own employees and open accounts digitally. On CASA, it has grown by 18% YoY and average CASA grew by 29%. The ticket size is of about INR80,000-100,000 or a little more when accounts are opened.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Trimukh from B&amp;K Securities also queried if the company has ECLGS outstanding as of Q3 and has there been any slippages.
