Our Pre-Provision Operating Profits was strong at Rs 3,185 crores. The Bank has followed conservative provisioning approach with Net NPA of 0.84% and a surplus provision of Rs 2,050 crores outside this for contingencies if any. We expect the economic recovery to gain traction as the second wave recedes coupled with the ongoing vaccination drive. The Bank is well positioned to cautiously participate in the economic recovery.”
