MUMBAI (Reuters) - HDFC Bank Ltd, India's second-biggest private sector lender by assets, on Tuesday reported a 20 percent rise in quarterly net profit, lagging estimates, due to higher tax expenses and provisioning for loan losses.
Net profit rose to 23.81 billion rupees ($388.51 million) in its fiscal second quarter to Sept. 30, from 19.82 billion rupees a year earlier, the Mumbai-headquartered bank said in a statement.
Analysts had on average expected a net profit of 24.25 billion rupees, according to data compiled by Thomson Reuters.
