The public sector bank had reported a standalone net profit of ₹844 crore in the year-ago quarter. The net profit in the reporting quarter, however, soared about three times vis-a-vis the fourth quarter’s ₹250 crore.

Net interest income falls

Net interest income (difference between interest earned and interest expended) declined about 10 per cent yoy to ₹3,144 crore (₹3,481 crore in the year-ago quarter). Total non-interest income (comprising income from commission, exchange & brokerage, profit from the sale of investments, profit from exchange transactions, recovery in written-off accounts, and other non-interest income) rose 39 per cent yoy to ₹2,377 crore (₹1,707 crore).

MD & CEO Atanu Kumar Das said total non-interest income includes a one-time inflow of ₹406 crore received on account of redemption of security receipts of an aviation account. Das observed that BoI will see an overall credit growth of 6-7 per cent in FY22, with the retail, agriculture, and MSME (RAM) segment expected to grow by about 14 per cent and corporate advances by about 5-6 per cent.

EGM of the shareholders of Bank of India will be held on Wednesday, May 5, 2021 through video conferencing and other audio visual means, the bank said in a regulatory filing.

The government in March had sanctioned to infuse the capital in BOI as part of equity during the financial year 2020-21.

Bank of India said it has been growing very diligently and cautiously for the last many years and there is a constant requirement to augment capital.

In order to meet this growing requirement, bank needs long term capital, it added.

The lender said it will utilise the funds to shore up the capital adequacy of the bank and to fund the general business needs of the bank.

After the preferential issue of shares, government’s shareholding in bank will go up to 90.34 per cent from 89.10 per cent now.
