without hurting any one’s sentiments, I’m surprised why this question of ‘having different subsidiary’ should be seen as something that needs investigation by Sherlock Holmes?! May be there is some reason, but why speculate that the reason behind this is with ulterior motives!!
“If you think like an owner, you will know why…”
Answer: The reason is, lending money with around 10 lakhs loan is a completely different ball game altogether. You cannot have same appraisal process, risk management systems for both! A company can manage both, but managing differently could lead to better business properties for each.
For example (1), in recent times Maruti has branded its newest small SUV (S Cross) under NEXA branding. Why? A premium customer requirements are different than a sub-premium customer. I’m not condescending anyone one. A premium customer looks at overall ownership experience like having a relationship manager, buying experience, features, ambience, while an Alto customer will come pay, take the car. (again no disrespect to Alto owner, just putting things in perspective).
Example 2: You cannot have a single relationship manager for customers with 10 crore net worth and customers with 50 lakhs because the requirements are completely different, the investment avenues for a 10 crore customer are too many, for example.
There is simply too much of background check/work that needs to be done while lending to a non-salaried customer, why a BIG bank like ICICI bother about this as their lending cream is with working capital loans, big ticket loans, developer loans. An HFC has only ONE business stream – LEND to low income, non-salaried, so they WILL have to take that pain of appraising a prospective customer.
Not sure, if I’m able to put what’s in my head into my writing. ANYWAY, this is not at all a point to consider while choosing to invest in HFCs, in my honest opinion and I could turn out to be an idiot but at the end at lease I would know why I became an idiot!
Well, my honest views, not posting towards anyone!
