Axis Bank has reported elevated slippages in its unsecured loan portfolio, prompting caution from management and analysts alike. The bulk of the ₹4,443 crore gross slippages in Q2 FY25 stemmed from personal loans and credit cards, with writeoffs totaling ₹3,100 crore largely from the same segment.
 
Key Highlights:
  • Retail slippages accounted for ₹4,073 crore, while wholesale contributed ₹106 crore.
  • The bank has tightened scorecards, reduced spending limits, and enhanced collections to mitigate further deterioration.
  • Despite early signs of improvement, management remains wary of declaring a peak in stress levels.
Strategic Response:
  • Axis Bank has implemented stricter provisioning norms, including 100% provisioning on retail unsecured NPAs at 91 days past due.
  • Recoveries from writtenoff accounts improved 67% quarteronquarter, but volatility persists.
Outlook:
Analysts expect continued pressure on asset quality, especially in unsecured retail, over the next few quarters.
