Provisioning for bad loans by banks fell in the September quarter for the second consecutive period based on year-on-year comparison driven by the public sector banks (PSBs). For a sample of 29 publicly listed banks, provisioning for nonperforming assets (NPA) fell by 2.9% to ₹27,318.2 crore. For PSBs, it fell by 11.6% to ₹14,628.3 crore with half of them reporting a year-on-year drop in loan loss provisioning. PSBs, including Punjab National Bank, Central Bank of India and Indian Overseas Bank, recorded a 82-93% fall in the NPA provisioning.
On the other hand, private sector banks showed 12.5% increase in NPA provisioning for the quarter to ₹12,690 crore, led by select banks including ICICI Bank, Axis bank, Kotak Bank, IDBI Bank and Federal bank. Three out of every four private sector banks reported a year-on-year increase in their NPA provisioning. As a result, their share in the quarterly NPA provisioning increased to 46.5% from 41.2% a year ago and 42.1% in the previous quarter.
