micro-finance issue behind us, the GNPA and NNPA have come down to healthy levels
of 1.61% and 0.48% respectively. The provisions during Q4 FY26 have come down
to the lowest level of two years, at 1.63% of loans, which is equivalent to

the bank is confident of growing its deposit business healthily in line with
past trends.”
