Subsidiary Scheme (CLSS) to the middle income group in addition to the economically weaker

gross non-performing loans as at March 31, 2018 would have been 0.84%. He further informed

that it was too early for these subsidiaries to come up with an IPO and the same would be
decided by the respective companies at an appropriate stage.
