Union Bank of India (UBI) reported a 37 per cent year-on-year (yoy) decline in standalone net profit at ₹727 crore in the third quarter (Q3FY21) ended December 31, 2020 against ₹1,159 crore in the year ago quarter.

The public sector bank’s standalone net profit in the reporting quarter, however, was up 41 per cent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) vis-a-vis preceding quarter’s ₹517 crore.

Rajkiran Rai G, MD & CEO, explained that, “In Q3FY20, there was a recovery in the Essar Steel account… In case of (erstwhile) Corporation Bank, they had written back about ₹1,500 crore as profit. So, that was one-off entry…that is pushing the numbers of the previous year up. Otherwise, operating performance is better this year.”

Andhra Bank and Corporation Bank were merged with UBI with effect from April 1, 2020. The bottomline in the third quarter was supported by a ₹672 crore write-back in tax expenses.

Income

Net interest income (the difference between interest earned and interest expended) was up 5 per cent yoy at ₹6,590 crore (₹6,285 crore in the preceding quarter). Non-interest income, comprising total fee income, dividend income, trading gains, recovery from technically written-off accounts, was down 18 per cent at ₹3,016 crore (₹3,667 crore).

GNPAs declined to 13.49 per cent of gross advances as at December-end 2020 against 14.71 per cent as at September-end 2020. Net NPAs declined to 3.27 per cent of net advances as at December-end 2020 against 4.13 per cent as at September-end 2020.

With proforma slippages (adjusted for the Supreme Court’s interim order), Gross and Net NPA ratio would have been 15.28 per cent and 5.02 per cent, respectively.

Non-performing asset (NPA) loan provisions were down 22 per cent yoy at ₹3,036 crore (₹3,898 crore). However, provisions for standard assets rose to ₹2,227 crore against a write-back of ₹211 crore in the year ago quarter.

Restructuring book

Rai said the restructuring book for Covid-19 related stress stood at ₹16,726 crore. Out of that ₹3,272 crore has already been restructured up to December 31, 2021. The expected restructuring ₹13,454 crore in the next six months, he added.

UBI is expecting to recover about ₹4,000 crore to ₹5,000 crore in current quarter. Of this, a chunk of the recovery is expected to come from two large corporate accounts which have been resolved under the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code.

Rai said post-amalgamation, UBI made savings of about ₹800 crore through synergy realisation till December-end 2020. It expects savings of about ₹3,600 crore over three years.

ICICI Bank settles case with SEBI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Private sector lender ICICI Bank has settled a case with SEBI relating to the alleged failure against victimisation of the whistle-blower, after paying ₹28.4 lakh as settlement charges.

“High Powered Advisory Committee in its meeting held on December 30, 2020, considered the revised settlement terms proposed and recommended the case for settlement upon payment of ₹28,40,625 towards settlement charges,” SEBI said in its settlement order.

“…in view of the acceptance of the settlement terms and receipt of settlement charges as

mentioned above by SEBI, the instant adjudication proceedings initiated against the applicant vide

SCN dated January 30, 2020 are disposed of… based on the settlement terms,” it further said, adding that the order shall come into force with immediate effect.

After ICICI Bank proposed to settle the instant proceedings, SEBI agreed to the settlement, “without admitting or denying the findings of fact and conclusions of law”, through a settlement order and had filed a settlement application.

The case pertains to a complaint filed by an ex-employee of the bank Samir Kumar Das on January 8, 2019, on the SCORES platform. Das raised issues that he was victimised by the private sector lender in contravention of the whistle-blower mechanism’s provisions.

Das’s contention is that ICICI’s rights are limited to transferring an employee only to a group company and not to ICICI Foundation.

The bank offered him to join SMEAG (Small Medium Enterprise And Agri Group) on November 13, 2018, to which he expressed reservations to join considering that they were officials against whom he had blown the whistle, the order mentioned.

After reconsideration given his transfer to ICICI Foundation, he offered to join SMEAG on November 14, 2018. The bank did not accept, thereby allegedly violating the code of conduct and corporate governance not giving him a suitable environment to work, it added.

The bank’s offer to join the ICICI Foundation was detrimental to his interests and his banking career, Das said in his complaint.

During examination by SEBI, the ICICI Bank’s response was not found satisfactory. It was observed that the lender failed to provide appropriate protection against victimisation of the complainant who was the whistle-blower against the bank the order mentioned.

“In view of the above, SEBI felt satisfied that there are sufficient grounds to inquire and adjudicate upon the aforesaid violations by the Noticee,” the order further said.
