Crisil Ratings stated that the ratings continue to factor in the company's healthy capitalisation and its established market position, with regional diversity in portfolio. These strengths are partially offset by modest profitability and susceptibility of asset quality to local socio-political issues in the microfinance sector and average resource profile.
The company's portfolio quality has been restoring gradually after undergoing stress in the recent past; this improvement is led by better performance of the loan book that has been originated post tightening of underwriting and implementation of guardrails.
Overall, the company reported loss of Rs 699 crore for fiscal 2026 which translates to a return on managed assets (RoMA) of -9.0% as against a loss of Rs 1,035 crore and RoMa of -9.0% for the previous fiscal. The pace and magnitude at which asset quality and overall profitability restore to normalcy, will remain a key monitorable and a rating sensitivity factor.
The overall rating continues to reflect the company's established track record in the microfinance sector along with regional diversity in asset base and healthy capitalisation which was supported by rights issue of Rs 400 crore (partly paid to the extent of Rs 200 crore) in Q2 FY26.
Tier-I and overall capital adequacy ratios (CAR) were comfortable at 35.9% and gearing was low at 1.9 times on 31 March 2026.

The tenure of these loans is generally 1-2 years. While SSFL extends microfinance loans, its subsidiaries extend other services such as loans against property, business loans and personal loans.

Valued Customer,
BOB Capital Markets Limited (BOBCaps) is firmly committed to the safety of your wealth. We would like to bring to your notice certain precautions that you certainly must take against potential tele-fraudsters/ unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers:
ALWAYS AVOID
We would like to caution you against such fraudulent calls and SMSes and urge you to be alert. Follow the golden rule:
Do not share your Login Credentials or Passwords with anybody
BOBCaps employees / representatives never ask for your password.
Certain tele-fraudsters / unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers call customers or SMS them on the pretext of providing investment tips and lure them to invest through their bogus firms by promising huge profits.
Such deceitful callers ask the customer to share his/her login credentials with passwords to allow trading in their accounts, assuring huge returns.
Often trades done in the customer’s accounts are far from the best interest of the customers. Holdings of customers are often sold and with the funds, trades are then placed in illiquid securities at unrealistic prices.
At times, the holdings of customers are sold at prices detrimental to the customer. The so-called “portfolio manager” assures profits, which naturally does not materialize. Customers are deceived into providing access to their trading accounts, thereby allowing such fraudsters access to funds and securities available to execute trades, injurious to the customer’s interest.
In our continuous effort to keep you safeguard from the market related frauds and increase awareness while conducting trades, we request you to go through the Press Release issued by the NSE and would request you to ensure that you do not engage with the individuals and entities mentioned below:
