Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>LICHF reported Q3FY23 earnings that was lower than expected due to the increase in provisioning. LICHF reported annualized credit cost of 1.2% vs expected run-rate of &lt;0.5%.</li>
<li>The higher provisioning was done purely from a management overlay perspective for extra caution. It led the PCR to rise to 51% vs 43%+ earlier. </li>
<li>The higher provisioning was not due to asset quality deterioration. In fact, asset quality improved slightly with GNPA at 4.75% vs 4.90% QoQ.</li>
