Small Finance Banks: What Brokerages Say
Citi
Citi believes the relaxation of PSL targets for small finance banks is a structural relief.
The change allows small finance banks greater operational flexibility and supports portfolio diversification.
AU Small Finance Bank cited its organic PSL build-up as a rationale for its MFI acquisition.
Post-merger, AU SFB was fully compliant with overall and sub-sector PSL norms in financial year 2025.
Citi notes that the benefit of the revised PSL norms should be evaluated in light of AU SFB’s stated intent to transition into a universal bank, where the PSL requirement stands lower at 40%.
Morgan Stanley
Morgan Stanley considers the RBI’s move to lower PSL requirements for small finance banks as a structural positive.
This change enhances small finance bank's portfolio diversification capabilities and operational ease.
It is expected to support higher long-term growth run-rates.
AU Bank estimates its current PSL portfolio at 80%.
A key benefit is the potential for additional income from the sale of PSLC certificates.
However, Morgan Stanley notes the surplus in small and marginal farmer segments for the bank is limited.
