Vijaya Bank has reported a 5.53 per cent increase in net profit for the September quarter at Rs. 143.75 crore on higher income. The bank had reported a net profit of Rs. 136.22 crore in September quarter last fiscal.

Interest income grew 11 per cent while the income on investments rose 28 per cent to Rs. 838 crore.

Retail lending accounted for 21.61 per cent of the advances, while credit demand from corporates saw a decline.
