As a part of the ongoing effort to improve its performance in terms of asset quality and margins, Allahabad Bank is in the process of off-loading Rs 540 crore worth of non-performing assets (NPAs). The bank for this has adopted a three-pronged strategy to manage NPAs, which includes appointing a general manager to look after the credit management, doubling the recovery target to Rs 911 crore from the previous Rs 411 crore besides off-loading a part of Rs 2,300 crore NPAs.
The bank is hoping for a better quarter in December as compared to the previous quarter on the back of reduction in NPAs and recovery in certain economic sectors including SMEs, manufacturing and retail. The bank reported a fall of 52.01% in its net profit at Rs 234.20 crore for second quarter ended September 30, 2012 as compared to Rs 488.02 crore for the same quarter in the previous year. However, total income of the bank has increased by 9.04% to Rs 4,582.64 crore for quarter under review as compared to Rs 4,202.64 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
Gross non-performing assets (NPAs) of the bank has increased to 2.95% for the quarter as against 1.77% in the previous quarter. Net non-performing assets (NPAs) of the bank were at 2.10%, higher than 0.69% in the previous quarter.
