“The profit numbers for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 are not directly comparable…To facilitate a like-for-like comparison, after adjusting for the above, the adjusted profit before tax for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 is ₹3,694 crore compared to ₹2,908 crore in the previous year, reflecting a growth of 27 per cent,” HDFC said in a statement on Tuesday.

The profit numbers are not comparable due to fair value gain consequent to the merger of GRUH with Bandhan Bank of ₹9,020 crore.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2020, HDFC reported a 26 per cent growth in net interest income at ₹4,068 crore compared to ₹3,240 crore in the previous year. Net interest margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 stood at 3.4 per cent.

“The demand for home loans continued to remain strong owing to low-interest rates, softer property prices, concessional stamp duty rates in certain states and continued fiscal incentives on home loans,” HDFC said, adding that December 2020 witnessed the highest ever levels in terms of receipts, approvals and disbursements.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, individual loan disbursements grew at 26 per cent over the previous year’s corresponding quarter. Growth in home loans was seen in both, the affordable housing segment as well as high-end properties.
