• Aadhar Housing Finance (Aadhar) reported 1QFY27 net profit of INR2.8bn (up 19% y-

y), which was in line with our estimate. AUM growth at 18% y-y was slightly below our Research Analysts

“cheque clearance.” The company notes that the cheque clearance model keeps

customer interests at the forefront. Interest income is also recognised at the time of

cheque clearance now.
