Profit growth was impacted by lower profit on sale of investments, lower income from leased properties and other income and higher depreciation in the current year as compared to the previous year.
Financials for the quarter ended December 31, 2015
For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the profit before tax stood at ` 2,191 crore as compared to ` 2,064 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

` 1,521 crore as compared to ` 1,425 crore in the corresponding period previous year, representing growth of 7%.

Growth in the non-individual loan portfolio has picked up, recording a net increase of Rs. 1,987 crore for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.
