The largest private sector bank’s standalone net profit grew by more than 20% to 10,605.78 crores, up from 8,834.31 crores the previous year and 9,196 crores in the preceding June quarter.
According to the bank, overall income grew to 46,182 crores for the reporting quarter, up from 38,754 crores the previous year, while expenditure, excluding provisions and contingencies, increased to 28,790 crores from 22,947 crores.
