The "FA" (pronounced ‘F A’) rating assigned to the fixed deposit programme of Vysya Bank Housing Finance Limited (VBHF) has been reaffirmed.

The rating factors the parentage of the company and the favourable growth prospects of the housing finance industry. Off-setting these positive factors are the increasing competition in the housing finance industry, NPAs in builder segment, high gearing and declining trend in profitability.
