  2. Suresh, pardon me if this is a silly question.

    This credit rating of BB+, is it for this specific NCD offering or is it for Company itself?

  3. Suresh,

    I have a query regarding ratings. This one has BB+. But among IIFL (rating AA) and Muthoot Fincorp (rating A+), which is more safer?
