"Delinquency rate by the number of accounts that are more than 30 days outstanding has declined 20% from 1% in April to 0.8% in October 2013," Equifax Credit Information Services (ECIS) said in a report. Earlier this year, ECIS had reported that delinquency by number of accounts that are more than 30 days due had declined by more than 33% from more than 1.5% in mid-2012 to around 1 per cent in April 2013.
“We are working extensively with them to increase the usage of the other solutions we offer from our end-to-end suite of MFI products," its managing director and chief executive Sanjay Patel said.
