Differently, LAZNAS Yatim Mandiri Solo 2019-2020 Gross Allocation to Collection and Gross Allocation to Collection Non-Amil are categorized as ineffective, while in 2019-2020 Net Allocation to Collection Ratio and Net Allocation to Collection Ratio Non-Amil are categorized as effective and very effective.
