Jammu & Kashmir Bank opens new business unit in Jammu

14 Aug 2015 Evaluate

Jammu & Kashmir Bank (JKB), a private sector scheduled commercial bank, has opened new Business Unit at Village Pali Morh Tehsil Bishnah , Jammu. Further, the Bank had undertaken a massive financial literacy and account opening drive to ensure universal access to banking facilities with at least one basic account to every household under the ambitious Pradhan mantra Jan Dhan Yojna (PMJDY).

Recently, the bank has reported 22.08% rise in its net profit at Rs 158.76 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, as compared to Rs 130.05 crore for the same quarter in the previous year.

Jammu & Kashmir Bank follows a two-legged business model whereby it seeks to increase lending in its home state which results in higher margins despite modest volumes, and at the same time, seeks to capture niche lending opportunities on a pan-India basis to build volumes and improve margins. It is the only private sector bank designated as RBI’s agent for banking business, and carries out the banking business of the Central Government, besides collecting central taxes for CBDT.
