The audited financial results for the fourth quarter of the year ended March 2016 were announced today following the approval of Bank's Board of Directors in their meeting held here at Corporate Headquarters. With a view to make its balance sheet healthier and stronger for future, the Bank registered a loss of Rs56.02 Cr for Q4 ended March 2016. In the meeting, the bank's Board of Directors also recommended dividend of 175 pc to shareholders subject to the approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). The Advances of the bank up by 12.57 pc stood at Rs 50193.02 Cr as against Rs 44585.82 Cr recorded last year. The total business of the bank stood at Rs 119583.54 Cr which is up by 8.37 pc as against Rs 110342.01 Cr recorded during the last FY. The deposits of the bank also registered growth of 5.53 pc and reached Rs 69390.25 Cr at the end of March, 2016. During the period under review, the bank earned an interest income of Rs 6843.57 Cr while as the total income of the bank is Rs 7347.60 Cr. The net worth of the bank increased to Rs 6423.97 Cr from Rs. 6110.05 Cr which is up by 5.14 pc. Chairman-Speak: Cleaning the balance sheet to make it stronger and healthier for future, the bank decided to settle for lesser profits and more provisioning for FY 2015-16. Amid mounting volumes of stressed loans to an all-time high across the banking industry and in line with our already expressed views during last few quarters, we registered an annual profit of Rs 416.04 Cr. However, keeping an additional floating provision of Rs 150 Cr in the fourth quarter, which is already in excess of the required provisioning, resulted in the booking of Rs 56.02 Cr as loss for the quarter. Providing a strong cushion for future, this helped us to take the annual figure of floating provisions to Rs 348.72 Cr for the financial year under review. Having said that, slowly but surely, the banking industry is coming out of the extreme stressed condition as we begin entering into an economic scenario with reportedly positive business sentiment, improved consumer confidence and more controlled inflation.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
