So, it is actually exempted, but then it is only the perception — people on the ground may feel this is applicable for everybody and people may delay payments," Muthoot had said during the company's fourth-quarter earnings call.

The Tamil Nadu Bill proposes up to three years' imprisonment and financial penalties against recovery agents found employing coercive recovery tactics. The provisions have unnerved microfinance lenders and small finance banks (SFBs) in Tamil Nadu — the second-largest market in the ₹3.85 lakh crore microfinance industry after Bihar.
