The gross non-performing asset (GNPA) fell 5.69% YoY to Rs 3,638.19 crore as on 30th June 2025, compared with Rs 3,857.59 crore as on 30th June 2024.

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. 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. On the asset quality front, as per our annual guidance, we plan to bring it to around 3% by the end of CFY through prudent lending, robust recovery mechanisms, and proactive monitoring using early warning systems and digital tools like our NPA tracker. With CAR almost 16%, we remain well capitalized and have an enabling board approval for raising further capital to fund our growth plans and seize emerging opportunities across our business segments. J&K Bank offers banking services under the three major divisions of support services, depository services, and third-party services. The scrip declined 2.01% to end at Rs 109.45 on the BSE.
