“Gross Non-Performing Asset (GNPA) at 2.10 percent, Net Non-Performing Assets (NNPA) at 1.18 percent and Provisioning Coverage Ratio (PCR) at 44.2 percent.

Yes Bank MD and CEO Rana Kapoor said in the statement: “Yes Bank has once again delivered satisfactory performance across income growth, margins, profitability, and Capital accretion, despite the recognition and provision impact from a stressed Infrastructure conglomerate.

“Retail Assets growth momentum continues, while growth in Corporate business segments has been rebalanced after witnessing strong market share driven growth over the last few preceding quarters.”
