03 Aug 2011 Evaluate

The country’s largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) has set up 14 account tracking centres to check non-performing assets (NPA). The bank has informed that the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) had sought reasons for higher provisions of NPAs for the fourth quarter of 2010-11. The gross NPA of public sector banks stood at Rs 71,047 crore, which also include NPA of loans availed by industrial houses.

Further, the bank informed that the fresh slippages to bad loans during the 4th quarter of the FY11 were to the tune of Rs 56.45 billion rupees for which higher prudential provisions were made as per Reserve Bank of India guidelines. Another reason given by the bank was that during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2010, the bank had made higher provisions for NPAs over and above the prescribed Income Recognition Asset Classification norms to achieve the 70 per cent provision coverage ration as per RBI guidelines.

SBI reported a fall of 98.88% in its fourth quarter net profit at Rs 20.88 crore whereas the same was at Rs 1866.60 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Its total income for the quarter increased by 18.07% at Rs 26,536.84 crore whereas the same was at Rs 22,474.12 crore for the March quarter of the previous fiscal.
