The rise in profits was mainly driven by the increased interest on advances, net interest income and other income during the quarter.
Interest paid on deposits also increased as a consequence of an increase in deposit levels of Rs 5,707 crore, year on year, and the upward movement of market interest rates on deposits accepted during the previous year, which are still continuing. The net interest income grew by 16.88 per cent, other income by 35.20 per cent while provisions and contingencies were lower by 63.55 per cent, year on year.
Provision on taxes is higher by Rs 46.80 crore as compared to the level of provision for income tax/ fringe benefit tax/ wealth tax for the corresponding period of the previous year, in the backdrop of higher operating profit.

Return on assets and earning per share were higher at 0.80 per cent and Rs 22.80 respectively over June 2008 period. The effect of splitting of share is taken into consideration as at June 30, 2008.
