State Bank of India, the country’s largest lender, on November 3, has reported highest ever quarterly standalone profit at Rs 7,627 crore in the quarter ended September 2021, growing 66.7 percent YoY, with easing asset quality pressure and fall in provisions & credit cost. However, the exceptional item on account of revision in family pension payable to employees impacted profitability.

“Whole bank advances grew by 6.17 percent YoY to Rs 25.3 lakh crore, mainly driven by personal retail advances (up 15.17 percent YoY) and foreign office advances (up 16.18 percent YoY). Domestic advances growth stood at 4.61 percent YoY, but domestic corporate advances declined 3.91 percent YoY to Rs 7.56 lakh crore,” said SBI in its BSE filing.

Loan loss provisions for the quarter at Rs 2,699 crore dropped 52 percent compared to year-ago period and declined 46.3 percent on sequential basis, said the bank. Provision coverage ratio (PCR) at 87.68 percent in Q2FY22 improved from 85.93 percent in previous quarter.

Provisions and contingencies (net of write back) fell sharply to Rs 188.75 during September 2021 quarter, compared to Rs 10,051.96 crore in previous quarter and Rs 10,118.31 crore in the corresponding period previous fiscal.
