The continued slowdown in economic activity has led to a decrease in retail loan origination, sale of third party products, use of credit and debit cards by customers, efficiency in collection efforts and waivers of certain fees, the bank said.
The asset quality of the bank diminished with gross NPA standing at 1.36 per cent of gross advances as on June 30, 2020 vis-à-vis 1.40 per cent as on June 30, 2019.
