HDFC Bank Q1 net profit dips 1.31 pc, makes Rs 9k cr contingent provisioning
The lender had reported a net profit of Rs 16,475 crore in the year-ago period.
Mumbai, Jul 19 (PTI) HDFC Bank on Saturday posted a 1.31 per cent decline in its consolidated net profit to Rs 16,258 crore for the June 2025 quarter.
The core net interest income growth moderated to 5 per cent to Rs 31,400 crore during the quarter, as the net interest margin narrowed to 3.35 per cent from 3.46 per cent in the quarter-ago period amid a 6.7 per cent growth in gross advances.
The bank's chief financial officer Srinivasan Vaidyanathan said about 70 per cent of its assets are linked to external benchmarks, which are directly exposed to rate revisions by the RBI, and declined to give an outlook on how it sees the key number going ahead.
He said the bank, which has previously disclosed its target to grow advances in sync with the industry, is set to grow its deposit market share this fiscal year.
The overall provisions jumped to Rs 14,442 crore from Rs 2,602 crore a year ago, the bank said, adding that this includes a floating provision of Rs 9,000 crore.
Vaidyanathan clarified that the excess provisions, which are at par with the gains made by share sale in the HDB Financial Services' initial public offering, are not done keeping any specific event in mind or any build of stress.
The gross non-performing assets ratio inched up to 1.4 per cent as of June 30 from 1.33 per cent three months ago, largely because of cyclical reverses in the agricultural portfolio.
The fresh slippages increased to RS 9,000 crore from Rs 7,500 crore in the quarter-ago period, including agri advances, while excluding the agri portfolio, the same increased to Rs 6,800 crore from Rs 6,200 crore.
The bank seemed to be continuing with its 'circumspect' view on the home mortgage front, where it grew by 9 per cent. The CFO stressed that top cities are seeing home loan finance coming at 7.2 per cent, which HDFC Bank finds very low.
At present, 80 per cent of the bank branches sell home loans, and the aim is to take it up to 100 per cent.
The overall capital adequacy of the bank was at 19.9 per cent, including the core buffers at 17.4 per cent, as of June 30. PTI AA BAL BAL

Alleging irregularities in flower market leasing, AIADMK councillors walk out of Salem corpn meeting
SALEM: Alleging irregularities in the leasing process of the VOC Flower Market complex, AIADMK councillors led by party's leader of opposition in the council N Yadavamoorthy walked out of the Salem City Municipal Corporation's monthly council meeting, on Friday. The meeting was chaired by Mayor A Ramachandran, along with Deputy Mayor M Saradha Devi and Salem City Corporation Commissioner M Elangovan. The AIADMK councillors strongly opposed the corporation's move to lease the flower market shops directly to vendors. The complex, developed under the Smart City project under the AIADMK regime, was originally leased to a private party. After the private party withdrew from the contract, the corporation invited fresh tenders and decided to handle the leasing by itself. AIADMK councillors said the corporation is now demanding advance payments of up to Rs 8 lakh and monthly rents of up to Rs 20,000 from vendors. They argued that such high costs would be unaffordable for small flower sellers who have been operating at the market for decades.

'Rani Kapur is neither director nor shareholder…,' new twist in Sunjay Kapur's family saga over Rs 300000000000 property dispute
'Rani Kapur is neither director nor shareholder…,' new twist in Sunjay Kapur's family saga over Rs 300000000000 property dispute Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband Sunjay Kapur's sudden death has left everyone in shock. He died on June 12, 2025. A new chapter has unfolded in the ongoing family feud surrounding the Rs 30,000 crore estate of late businessman Sanjay Kapur. Just before the family-owned Sona Comstar's annual general meeting (AGM), Rani Kapoor, Sanjay Kapur's mother, made a bold claim that she holds the majority stake of the Sona Group and is the rightful owner of the estate. What is the new twist in the Sunjay Kapur family dispute? In a sharp and definitive rebuttal, the group's flagship company Sona BLW Precision Forgings Ltd clarified that Rani Kapoor is not a director or shareholder in the company. Additionally, she has not served as a board member since 2019. Furthermore, Auto components manufacturer Sona BLW Precision Forgings Ltd (Sona Comstar) stated that it did not delay the Annual General Meeting (AGM), even though it received an email from Rani Kapur, the company's former Chairperson and widow of the late industrialist Dr. Surinder Kapur. Is Rani Kapur a shareholder in the Kapur family-owned Sona Group? The company acknowledged that it received an email from Rani Kapur in the late hours of July 24, 2025, requesting to adjourn the Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for the next day. The company asserted that the request was reviewed seriously, and urgent legal advice was sought before making a final decision. 'Late on 24 July 2025, an email was received from Mrs. Rani Kapur requesting a deferment of the AGM. Given our respect for Mrs. Kapur, the Company sought urgent legal advice from one of India's most reputed law firms in relation to the legality of proceeding with the AGM of the Company.' What are the claims made by Sunjay Kapur's mother, Rani Kapur? This new development has brought additional drama to the ongoing legal and family feud over the massive inheritance. In her letter, she claimed that she was coerced into signing papers while grieving her son's death, and suggested important decisions were made in her name without her actual consent. She also expressed doubt over the appointment of certain people to the board, including her daughter-in-law, Priya Sachdev Kapur. Rani Kapur sent her letter to the board of directors, the shareholders and SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India). Subsequently, the company's share price slid further down, escalating the ongoing contested family argument. In another claim, she alleged that the incident, reported as a cardiac arrest during a polo match, is being wrongly labelled, and the actual facts point to something 'far more troubling.''For my client, as a mother, it's deeply painful to watch this being dismissed as a mere freak accident and cardiac arrest. The truth doesn't match the headlines,' her legal counsel, senior advocate Vaibhav Gaggar was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. He further stated, 'She would not stay silent until that truth is acknowledged,' he added. Rani Kapur has also claimed that soon after her son's death, she was coerced into signing certain documents under distress. Who was Sunjay Kapur, and how was he related to Karisma Kapoor? Sunjay Kapur reportedly died after suffering a heart attack while playing polo in London, United Kingdom, on June 12 of 2025. Kapur's final rites were performed at the Lodhi Road Cremation Ground in South Delhi on June 19, with family and close associates present. Sunjay Kapur was the chairman of Sona Comstar. He married Karisma Kapoor in 2003. The couple became parents to their daughter, Samaira, in 2005 and their son, Kiaan, in 2011. In 2014, Karisma and Sunjay filed for divorce by mutual consent, and their divorce was finalised in 2016. After the separation, Sunjay married Priya Sachdev. The couple welcomed a son, Azarias, after they got married. Sanjay Kapur reportedly owned assets worth over Rs 12,000 crore, and managing such a vast empire could now become a significant challenge.
