PSBs performance not as bad as being projected: Jaitley

07 Jun 2016 Evaluate

After disappointing earnings numbers by the public sector banks (PSBs) in the final quarter, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has came in support of them indicating that their performance was not as bad as being projected, he added that PSBs actually made operating profits of Rs 1.40 lakh crore in 2015-16.

The Finance Minister after a high-level meeting to review the performance of the banking sector, said, “The overall operational profit of the PSBs last year was quite significant. It was in the excess of Rs 1.40 lakh crore... It is on account of the provisioning that overall the PSBs declared a net loss of about Rs 18,000 crore and a significant amount of provisioning having been made in the last two quarters of the fiscal.”

The meeting apart from Non Performing Assets (NPAs) or bad loans, reviewed the progress of financial inclusion schemes like Stand-up India and Mudra, credit flow to the industry and expansion of the banking sector. Jaitley said the government had earmarked Rs 25,000 crore for recapitalisation of the state-owned banks and would provide more funds if needed. He added that the government would examine various other suggestions for resolving the problem of stressed assets which came up during the meeting.

Later Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha said that the government will examine the capital requirements of various public sector banks (PSBs) for the current fiscal to meet credit growth and NPA provisioning. He said we are going to go through process of analysis now because banks have finished announcing their results for 2015-16.

With gross NPAs of PSBs touching an alarming level of Rs 5.34 lakh crore at March-end 2016, owing to the Reserve Bank of India-mandated balance sheet clean-up exercise, PSBs lending growth has slowed to 9.86% in FY16 from 12.7% in the year-ago period.
