The net profit was sharply lower at Rs.158.43 crore against Rs.207.46 crore in the second quarter of the previous year. Interest reversal on restructured and slippage accounts and additional provisions due to the reversal had resulted in a lower profit, the bank said in a statement.

Gross NPAs (non-performing assets) rose sharply to Rs.5,930 crore from Rs.3,898 crore due to few major accounts which turned into NPAs. The industry and services sectors contributed significantly to the NPAs.

The net NPA ratio was 2.25 per cent against 1.21 per cent. The credit deposit ratio (CD) increased to 81.11 per cent as on September 30, 2012, from 77.74 per cent as on September 30, 2011.
