Kotak Mahindra Bank reported a 10% YoY rise in consolidated PAT to ₹4,700 crore, driven by strong capital markets performance in subsidiaries (Kotak Securities, AMC, Investment Banking) and stable NIM at 4.93%. Advances grew 15% YoY with secured retail and SME leading, while unsecured retail mix fell to 10.5% due to the RBI embargo on credit cards and digital banking. Asset quality showed mixed trends: personal loan delinquencies improved, credit card stress plateaued, but microfinance stress continued to rise. Management remains cautiously optimistic, targeting loan growth at 1.5-2x GDP and expects the embargo to lift eventually. Key risk: prolonged RBI restrictions could further constrain high-margin unsecured growth and deposit franchise.
कोटक महिंद्रा बैंक का कुल मुनाफा पिछले साल की तुलना में 10% बढ़कर 4,700 करोड़ रुपये हो गया। इसकी वजह इसकी सहायक कंपनियों (कोटक सिक्योरिटीज, एएमसी, इन्वेस्टमेंट बैंकिंग) का शेयर बाजार में अच्छा प्रदर्शन रहा। बैंक का ब्याज से होने वाला शुद्ध लाभ (NIM) 4.93% पर स्थिर रहा। कर्ज में 15% की बढ़ोतरी हुई, जिसमें सुरक्षित रिटेल और छोटे-मध्यम उद्योगों (SME) का योगदान ज्यादा रहा। आरबीआई के क्रेडिट कार्ड और डिजिटल बैंकिंग पर प्रतिबंध के कारण असुरक्षित रिटेल कर्ज का हिस्सा घटकर 10.5% रह गया। कर्ज की गुणवत्ता में मिलाजुला रुख रहा: पर्सनल लोन में डिफॉल्ट कम हुआ, क्रेडिट कार्ड का तनाव स्थिर रहा, लेकिन माइक्रोफाइनेंस में तनाव बढ़ा। प्रबंधन सावधानी से आशावादी है और कर्ज वृद्धि जीडीपी से 1.5-2 गुना रहने की उम्मीद करता है। मुख्य जोखिम: आरबीआई का प्रतिबंध लंबा चला तो ऊंचे मार्जिन वाले असुरक्षित कर्ज और जमा पर असर पड़ सकता है।
