Kolkata based state owned lender Allahabad Bank 's second quarter (July-September) net profit
plunged 52% year-on-year to Rs 234 crore in 2012-13. Higher provisions against
bad loans eroded the lender's profit margin.
Net interest income or the difference between interests
earned and paid out, dropped 11% y-o-y to Rs 1,174 crore during the same quarter.
Gross non-performing asset (NPA) ratio rose sharply to 2.95%
as against 1.96% in the previous quarter and 1.77% a year back. Net NPA ratio
shot up from 0.69% to 2.10% year-on-year. Provisions against bad loans
increased to around Rs 464 crore from 412 crore in the corresponding quarter of
the previous quarter. Moreover, the rise in provisions was sharper by Rs 151
crore quarter-on-quarter basis. Provision coverage ratio stood at 60.80% on
September 30, 2012.
The bank's loan book expanded nearly 16% to around Rs 1.11
lakh crore meeting RBI's revised projection of industry credit growth at 16%.
Its share of retail credit stood at Rs 15,710 crore or around 14% of the total
credit book.
However, Allahabad of late, figured in some significant debt
restructuring cases like Seven Hills and others. This suggests, the
deterioration in credit quality is primarily emanating from mid corporate
segments
Capital adequacy ratio was 12.16% compared with 12.94% in
the April-June quarter.
Deposits grew 14% y-o-y to Rs 1.62 lakh crore wherein the
share of current and savings account stood at 30.49%.
At 14:35 hrs IST, Allahabad shares tanked nearly 4% to Rs
132 after hitting intra-day low at Rs 127.90 in the NSE.
