| Sr. No. | Original Maturity | Balance outstanding as a percentage of total funds (other than equity) | Cumulative weightage |
| 1 | 5 years & above | 15.1% | 15.1% |
| 2 | 3 years & above but less than 5 years | 11.8% | 26.9% |
| 3 | 2 years & above but less than 3 years | 9.3% | 36.2% |
| 4 | 1 year & above but less than 2 years | 16.9% | 53.1% |
| 5 | 6 months & above but less than 1 year | 24.3% | 77.4% |
| 6 | 91 days & above but less than 6 months | 10.5% | 87.9% |
