The record loss in two consecutive quarters comes after the bank management had publicly stated, while announcing the December quarter numbers, that all was hunky-dory on the asset quality front as they had front-loaded the provisions for the two quarters at a go.

Provisions zoomed nearly six-fold to Rs 6,857 crore in the March quarter from Rs 1,817 crore on the back of the gross NPA ratio moving up to 9.99 per cent from 3.72 per cent.

The PSU lender reported a loss of Rs 5,067 crore for the full year as against a profit of Rs 3,911.73 crore a year ago. Had it not been for a write-back of Rs 1,055 crore, the losses would have been much more higher.
