Net profit dips
The bank, meanwhile, reported a near 45 per cent dip in net profit to Rs 311 crore for the quarter ending December. Its net profit stood at Rs 560 crore for the corresponding quarter last fiscal.
The net non-performing assets (NPA) or bad loans increased to 2.06 per cent (0.79 per cent).
During the quarter, total income stood at Rs 4,735 crore (Rs 3,912 crore).
According to Panse, a higher provisioning for bad debt and non-performing assets, standard restructuring and provisions for wage revision of employees impacted net profit.
“Apart from higher provisioning for NPAs, the RBI has recently mandated higher provisioning for standard restructuring for which we have to set aside an additional Rs 93 crore in the third quarter,” she said.
Provisions against bad loans stood at Rs 432 crore (Rs 421 crore). Operating expenses increased 16 per cent to Rs 811 crore.
On Thursday, Allahabad Bank stock was trading at around Rs 163.50, down 2.15 per cent on the BSE.
