Business Standard
|November 28, 2025
Kolkata-headquartered private sector lender Bandhan Bank on Thursday informed the exchanges that it will sell unsecured retail bad loans, including written-off accounts, worth ₹6,931.31 crore to asset reconstruction companies (ARCs) and other permitted entities, marking one of the largest retail loan sale exercises by a private sector bank. Most of these bad assets are from the bank's micro loan portfolio.
“The bank will go forbidding as per the Swiss Challenge method for the sale of its nonperforming assets (NPA) portfolio, with more than 180 days past due, having a principal outstanding of ₹3,212.17 crore as on September 30, 2025. Further, the bank will opt for an auction route for the sale of its written-off loan portfolio, with a principal outstanding of ₹3,719.14 crore as on September 30, 2025,” the lender said in its exchange filing.
These loans belong to the Emerging Entrepreneurs’ Business (EEB) segment — which largely comprises microfinance loans, including group loans, small business loans, and agri loans — and the Aspiring Business Group (ABG) portfolio.

A large part of India's capital needs will be met via GIFT City: Ifsca Chair
Five years after the International Financial Services Centres Authority (Ifsca) was set up as India's unified financial-sector regulator, business activity at the GIFT City IFSC has accelerated. Backed by regulatory initiatives, the country's sole financial services centre has crossed key milestones - from registering more than 1,000 entities to facilitating over $100 billion in loan disbursements by banks. K Rajaraman, chairman of the Ifsca, says the centre's rise is inseparable from India's own economic trajectory. In a conversation with Samie Modak in GIFT City, Gandhinagar, he outlines how the IFSC is emerging as a hub for India Inc's foreign-currency needs. Edited excerpts:
