Kotak Mahindra Bank's Q1 FY25 consolidated PAT (ex-KGI transaction) grew 7% YoY to INR 4,435 crore, but bank-level PAT was flat at INR 3,520 crore. NIM compressed 20bps QoQ to 5.02% due to rising deposit costs and a shift away from high-yield unsecured lending amid the RBI embargo on credit cards and digital onboarding. Customer assets grew 20% YoY, driven by corporate and secured retail, while unsecured retail was flat. Credit costs rose to 55bps annualized, reflecting stress in lower-ticket unsecured and microfinance portfolios. Management highlighted progress on RBI-mandated tech upgrades and reiterated a focus on deposit franchise and cost control. The KGI insurance stake sale generated INR 3,013 crore exceptional gain. Risks include sustained margin pressure and asset quality deterioration in unsecured and microfinance segments.
कोटक महिंद्रा बैंक की पहली तिमाही (Q1 FY25) में कुल मुनाफा (PAT) 7% बढ़कर ₹4,435 करोड़ हो गया, लेकिन बैंक का अपना मुनाफा ₹3,520 करोड़ पर स्थिर रहा। ब्याज दरों में कमी (NIM) 5.02% पर आ गई, क्योंकि जमा पर ब्याज बढ़ा और RBI के प्रतिबंध के कारण क्रेडिट कार्ड व डिजिटल बैंकिंग पर असर पड़ा। ग्राहकों की संपत्ति 20% बढ़ी, मुख्यतः कॉरपोरेट और सुरक्षित कर्ज से, जबकि असुरक्षित कर्ज स्थिर रहा। कर्ज देने में जोखिम (Credit Cost) बढ़कर 55bps हो गया, जो छोटे कर्ज और माइक्रोफाइनेंस में तनाव दिखाता है। KGI बीमा बेचने से ₹3,013 करोड़ का एकमुश्त लाभ हुआ। आगे मुनाफे पर दबाव और कर्ज की गुणवत्ता बिगड़ने का खतरा है।
