NEW DELHI: HDFC Bank on Saturday reported an 18.4 per cent year-on-year rise in standalone net profit at Rs 7,513.10 crore for the September quarter.

The private lender had reported a profit of Rs 6,344.99 crore in the year ago quarter. Analysts at an ET NOW poll had projected profit figure at Rs 6,445 crore.

Net interest income (NII), which is the difference between the interest income a bank earns from its lending activities and the interest it pays to depositors, rose 16.7 per cent to Rs 15,776.40 crore from Rs 13,515 crore in the year-ago quarter.

Core net interest margin (NIM) came in at 4.1 per cent.

The bank made provisions and contingencies amounting to Rs 3,703.50 crore for the September quarter, which included specific loan loss provisions of Rs 1,240.60 crore and general and other provisions of Rs 2,462.90 crore.

The private lender had made provisions worth Rs 2,700 crore in the year-ago quarter. Provisions, however, were lower than June quarter's Rs 3,891.52 crore.

Asset quality improved, with gross non-performing assets (NPAs) falling to 1.o8 per cent of gross advances from 1.36 per cent in June quarter and 1.38 per cent in the year-ago quarter.

That said, if the bank were to account for classified borrower accounts as NPAs after August 31 and also adopt an early recognition of NPA using analytical models, the gross NPA would have been 1.38 per cent for September quarter.

The bank, as a matter of prudence, has made contingent provisions in respect of such accounts.

Pre-provision profit for the bank rose 18.1 per cent to Rs 13,813 crore.

Total deposits rose 20.30 per cent YoY to Rs 12,29,310 crore as of September 30,while advances were up 15.8 per cent at Rs 10,38,335 crore.

Domestic retail loans grew 5.3 per cent while wholesale loans were up 26.5 per cent for the quarter. Overall, the retail loans stood at 48 per cent of total advances. Overseas loans accounted for 3 per cent of total advances.
