George Muthoot MD said it is difficult for people to enter the gold loan business and understand it as an operationally challenging business. The company hopes to return to double-digit growth after 3-4 quarters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>[00:09:47] Sagar Shah from PhillipCapital enquired if the demand from the customers would be on the higher or lower ticket range. George Muthoot MD replied that demand for consumer credit is present in both Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities and big cities. The avg. ticket size for consumer credit is around INR70,000.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>[00:11:00] Sagar Shah from PhillipCapital asked about non-gold finance business, if the company intends to grow that business. George Muthoot MD said the aim is for the non-gold loan portfolio to reach 15-20% in the next 3-4 years, while the gold loan business should see a growth of 10% by the end of the next year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>[00:13:57] Umang Shah from Kotak Mutual Fund asked about number of loan accounts outstanding being lower and how it\u2019s expected to change over the next 1-2 years. George Muthoot MD said the company is not focusing on the number of customers, but instead looking at AUM. AUM has been steady and slightly improving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>[00:15:58] Umang Shah from Kotak Mutual Fund enquired about the gold loan growth from FY23 perspective. George Muthoot MD replied that next two quarters the company should see better gold loan growth.

George Muthoot MD said that NPA for gold loans doesn&#8217;t affect the P&amp;L because it gets back both interest and principal, so it allow customers to take more time if they request it. This helps customers avoid having to option the gold which is difficult.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>[00:34:49] Pradeep Agarwal with Systematix Shares asked about reason for employee base declining while branches increasing. George Muthoot MD said it could be due to branch additions and normal exits that could be seasonal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>[00:38:54] Pradeep Agarwal with Systematix Shares asked about the auction number during 3Q23. Oommen K. Mammen CFO answered that it was around INR223 crores.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>[00:39:43] Nidhesh Jain with Investec enquired about the strategy in housing finance subsidiary.

For housing finance a new CEO has been appointed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>[00:45:11] Vishal at ICICI Securities enquired about credit cost going forward.
