Chandigarh, November 16, 2015: Microfinance Institutions Network (MFIN), the Self Regulatory Organisation (SRO) of the RBI regulated NBFC MFIs has brought out its fifteenth issue of the MicroMeter, which is a quarterly report on the Indian Microfinance Industry. The Q2 FY 15-16 report provides an overview of the Indian Microfinance Industry, as of 30thSeptember, 2015 and a comparative analysis with thecorresponding quarter ofprevious fiscal year (Q2 FY14-15) and previousquarter (Q1 FY 15-16).
The analysis presented in this issue is based on data collected from 51 NBFC–MFIs (MFIs), all of whom have either received or have applied for NBFC-MFI registration to the RBI.
This quarterly report clearly shows the increased outreach of the NBFC-MFIs across India. The client base of the MFIs has increased 28% over Q2 fy 14 – 15 which sums up to 2.63 Cr clients. MFIs now cover over 30 states/union territories. The Microfinance Industry has been expanding rapidly over the last quarter across all the regions of the nation. Also, the number of branches has increased to 8,616 and the number of employees is now 73,148.
“AS compared to the previous quarter the industry continues to retain a positive trend of growth. There has been a marked increase both in terms of clients and the loan portfolios of MFIs. This is despite the fact that the largest MFI Bandhan with a portfolio of 5000 crore plus has since become an universal bank,” said Ms. Ratna Vishwanathan, Chief Executive Officer, MFIN.
