The results were approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors at a meeting held at its Corporate Headquarters.
The Q2 performance was moderated by Rs 920 million provisioning towards its investment in Jammu and Kashmir Grameen Bank following the amalgamation of Ellaquai Dehati Bank under the “One State, One RRB” initiative. Total provisioning for H1 stands at Rs 1.80 billion, which, if excluded, would have resulted in over 15 per cent Y-o-Y growth in profitability.
