Question: Neha Manpuria - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division - Analyst
: My first question is on the non-COVID recovery that was happening in the fourth quarter. Given we did have a national lockdown during the second
wave, is it fair to say that the entire recovery was really long? Or did you see a similar impact like we saw last year on the non-COVID business this
time around, sir?

Question: Neha Manpuria - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division - Analyst
: Yes.
Question: Neha Manpuria - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. So it would be more depending, because of these that number would change, so it's not -- I can't assume that, that impact is similar to the
last 2 months.
Question: Neha Manpuria - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division - Analyst
: Yes. Yes, fair enough. My second question is on the entire home collection business. You did mention in your opening remarks that there was
month-on-month recovery of the non-COVID side, both on the walk-in and the B2C. Therefore, if you could just give us a sense of -- some sense
on how much did the home collection come off? I think there was some state of normal in the March quarter. And so that helps us in terms of post
COVID, what could be a normalized home collection run rate?
Question: Neha Manpuria - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division - Analyst
: Yes, sir, I can.
Question: Neha Manpuria - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division - Analyst
: Understood. And sir, if I may squeeze in one last question. Based on the employee cost in this quarter, is this a normalized run rate that we should
be assuming? Or is there any one-off in this quarter's number?
