Central Bank of India reported a strong Q3 FY26 with net profit of ₹1,263 crore (up 31.7% YoY), driven by robust credit growth of 19.48% YoY and improved asset quality. Gross NPA improved by 116 bps to 2.70%, while net NPA stood at 0.45%. The bank achieved a CD ratio of 72% and maintained ROA above 1%. Management highlighted broad-based corporate loan growth, a strategic focus on RAM (retail, agriculture, MSME) segments, and a Kasa campaign targeting ₹20,000 crore. However, NIM at 2.96% missed the 3% guidance due to rate cuts, and cost-to-income at 57.84% exceeded the 56% target. Guidance for Q4 includes maintaining yield on advances at 8.15%, reducing cost of deposits to 4.5-4.55% by June 2026, and achieving a CD ratio of 73-74%. Risks include margin compression from repo rate transmission and elevated provisions for ECL transition (₹2,675 crore remaining).
सेंट्रल बैंक ऑफ इंडिया ने तीसरी तिमाही में 1,263 करोड़ रुपये का शुद्ध लाभ कमाया, जो पिछले साल से 31.7% ज्यादा है। इसकी वजह कर्ज देने में 19.48% की बढ़ोतरी और खराब कर्ज में कमी है। बैंक का फंसा कर्ज (NPA) घटकर 2.70% रह गया, जो पहले 3.86% था। बैंक ने छोटे कर्ज, किसानों और छोटे व्यापारियों पर ध्यान दिया है। हालांकि, ब्याज दरों में कटौती के कारण बैंक का ब्याज मार्जिन (NIM) 2.96% रहा, जो 3% के लक्ष्य से कम है। खर्च भी लक्ष्य से ज्यादा रहा। आगे बैंक कर्ज पर ब्याज दर 8.15% रखने और जमा पर ब्याज घटाकर 4.5-4.55% करने की योजना बना रहा है। लेकिन ब्याज दरों में और कटौती से मुनाफा कम होने का खतरा है।
