Kotak Mahindra Bank reported consolidated PAT of INR 5,337 crore for Q4 FY24, up 17% YoY, with full-year PAT of INR 18,213 crore, up 22% YoY. The bank's standalone PAT grew 38% QoQ to INR 4,133 crore, aided by tax reversals and AIF provision write-backs. Customer assets grew 20% YoY to INR 423,324 crore, while CASA moderated to 45.5%. The RBI order on April 24 restricting digital onboarding and credit card issuance is a near-term headwind, with management estimating a PBT impact of INR 300-450 crore annually. The bank plans to accelerate tech spending (currently 10% of opex) to address regulatory concerns, while deepening existing customer relationships. Key risk: prolonged regulatory restrictions could dampen customer acquisition momentum and competitive positioning.
कोटक महिंद्रा बैंक ने चौथी तिमाही में 5,337 करोड़ रुपये का मुनाफा कमाया, जो पिछले साल से 17% ज्यादा है। पूरे साल का मुनाफा 18,213 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो 22% बढ़ा। बैंक का अपना मुनाफा पिछली तिमाही से 38% बढ़कर 4,133 करोड़ रुपये हो गया, क्योंकि टैक्स वापसी और कुछ निवेशों पर रकम वापस मिली। ग्राहकों की संपत्ति 20% बढ़कर 4,23,324 करोड़ रुपये हुई, लेकिन बचत खातों में पैसा घटकर 45.5% रह गया। RBI के 24 अप्रैल के आदेश से नए ग्राहकों को डिजिटल रूप से जोड़ने और क्रेडिट कार्ड देने पर रोक लगी है, जिससे सालाना 300-450 करोड़ रुपये का नुकसान हो सकता है। बैंक टेक्नोलॉजी पर ज्यादा खर्च करेगा और पुराने ग्राहकों पर ध्यान देगा। लंबे समय तक पाबंदी रही तो नए ग्राहक जुड़ना मुश्किल हो सकता है।
