The sector hit a hard patch during demonetisation. And in the months following demonetisation, non-performing assets (NPAs) as a percentage of loans hit highs of 14-15%. But the sector has since recovered. Despite loan waivers and election season, the microfinance sector in India now has a default rate of 2.9%.
