Meanwhile, the private sector lender, which will declare its March quarter and full year earnings on April 26, is expected to report fall in profit.
"Growth is likely to moderate from the higher levels seen in earlier quarters, albeit still much higher than industry; Asset quality trends to be benign. The strategy under new management will be key monitorable," said Edelweiss which expects profit to decline 0.3 percent and NII to grow 13.3 percent YoY.
Kotak, which sees profit falling 28 percent and NII growing 18.8 percent, said it expects loan growth to decelerate to around 15 percent from around 40 percent.
Revenue pressure will remain high due to weak fee income growth (sharp decline) and NIM pressure (higher funding costs), it added.
Kotak said commentary from the new MD & CEO would be crucial to understand his views on the bank and steps taken to change its business model.
