MD & CEO Amitava Chatterjee said, “In spite of widespread disruptions during the first quarter following the Pahalgam incident and the extensive damage caused by floods in the second quarter, the overall growth we have recorded is both encouraging and reassuring.”

“Even though profitability for Q2 was moderated due to an additional impairment provision of Rs 92 crore made during the quarter in compliance with regulatory requirements, the performance is better than what was anticipated under the challenging circumstances.”.

“With GNPA around 3.30% half-way through the year, I think on asset quality front, our progress is steady. And with our robust and focused risk-management practices in place, I remain optimistic about meeting our annual guidance of below 3% GNPA by the financial year-end. Besides, our PCR is also healthy at 90.39%.”

“Marking a nearly 10% YoY growth in business numbers reaching Rs 2.57 Lac crore, our Q2 performance demonstrates the Bank’s operational discipline.”

“Our deposit growth is at par with the industry average, while advances primarily driven by Agri/corporate segments have shown good credit growth both in sequential and YoY terms.

  • Jammu & Kashmir Bank today posted a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 484.84 crore for the April–June quarter of the current financial year (CFY), registering a 16.7% year on year (YoY) growth from Rs 415.49 crore reported in the same period last year.

MD & CEO Amitava Chatterjee said, "Despite tough situation on ground due to the Pahalgam terror attack along with its aftermath that affected business activity and credit offtake in key geographies well into June; we have been able to deliver a healthy bottom line growth of around 17%.”

“The sudden decline in NIM should be viewed against the broader environment wherein repo rate cuts announced by the regulator impacted the margins”, he added.

“Pertinently, the profitability for Q1 is subdued on account of impairment provision of Rs 87 crore made in this quarter towards our investment in the RRB - Jammu and Kashmir Grameen Bank, necessitated by amalgamation of Ellaquai Dehati Bank with erstwhile J&K Grameen Bank w.e.f. 30th April 2025. Excluding this non-recurring impact, our profitability growth would be upwards of 30% YoY. This one time provision has also impacted our ROA and ROE, however on a normalised basis both metrics remain broadly in line with our expectation”, he added.

“Having said that, we remain fundamentally strong, with adequate capital and liquidity buffers, and are already seeing signs of accelerating credit off-take on ground. With improving conditions on the ground, we are sure to gain growth momentum in the coming quarters”, asserted MD & CEO.

MD & CEO further remarked, "Regarding business growth, we are confident in our long term strategy as we are actively diversifying and scaling up our Rest of India operations by opening more branches in strategic business centres, entering builder tie ups, and strengthening partnerships with DSAs.”

“Going forward, our focus will also remain deepening relationships in core geographies through sufficient lending to agriculture, industry and youth entrepreneurship; and investing further in digital capabilities and operational efficiency."

  • During Q1FY24, the bank’s CASA ratio remains well above 53%.
  • The bank’s capital adequacy ratio stood at 14.83% as against 13.02% recorded in Q1FY23.

Commenting upon the Bank’s results, MD & CEO Baldev Prakash said, “With an almost doubled YoY PAT, our Q1 performance gives us a very encouraging start to meet our annual guidance. Reflecting the gradual but marked improvement in our operations, our core operating profit has jumped 38% YoY while witnessing a 17% rise on a QoQ basis. With NIM at almost 4% along with a 24% YoY increase in Net Interest Income, I see promising top-line growth unfolding in coming quarters.”

“For the last six quarters, we have continued to strengthen and stabilize key operational parameters. The idea is to keep strengthening the core to ensure continuous and sustainable growth going forward,” he added.

Regarding asset quality, the MD & CEO said, “The trend in asset quality continues to be very encouraging. With vigorous recovery pursuits and the expected resolution of a good number of accounts, we are well on course to achieve the asset-quality as per our guidance which is to contain our GNPA figure between 4 and 4.5% by the end of the current fiscal.”

“We are also aiming at an NPA Coverage Ratio of around 90% in coming quarters,” he added.

Commenting upon the business numbers, MD & CEO said, “Increase in advances is quite healthy at over 17% YoY and with strategies in place we will maintain the growth momentum.”

“However, on the liability side, there is slight de-growth on a QoQ basis. Although this has been the trend with J&K Bank due to the movement of Govt. funds which usually peak during the March quarter we have initiated aggressive deposit campaigns for mobilization of CASA with digital onboarding of new-to-business customers. And a good number of accounts have already been opened which shall, over time, accumulate sizable balances,” he added.

Elaborating upon capital position, the MD & CEO said, “After achieving the target of 15% CRAR during the last year, we are looking at a capital adequacy ratio of about 16% by the end of this fiscal. Even though we expect major accretions from internal accruals but plans are in place to raise capital from the market, if required.”
