CARE Ratings has reaffirmed Equitas Small Finance Bank's credit ratings across all its instruments. Lower Tier II Bonds (Basel II) of Rs 500 crore each on two tranches hold a CARE AA- with Stable outlook. The issuer rating is also CARE AA- with Stable outlook. Certificate of Deposit program of Rs 1,500 crore carries CARE A1+, the highest short-term rating. The ratings were reviewed based on the bank's FY25 audited and Q1FY26 unaudited performance. This filing is a clarification to BSE about a one-day delay in disclosing these ratings, which the bank attributes to receiving them late on Saturday evening followed by a Sunday holiday.
The reaffirmation of AA- stable ratings signals steady creditworthiness with no negative change, which is mildly positive for bondholders and depositors. Shareholders should note this is a status-quo event with no immediate impact on stock price, though the delayed disclosure may attract minor regulatory scrutiny.
