In a post market-hours exchange filing on Wednesday, Suryoday SFB said its June quarter loans and advances increased a staggering 42 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to Rs 9,037 crore from Rs 6,372 crore. On a quarterly basis, it was a 4 per cent rise from Rs 8,650 crore.

"The disbursements in Q1 FY25 stood at around Rs 1,740 crore as compared to Rs 1,190 crore in Q1 FY24 (Y-o-Y growth of 46 per cent), on the back of the continued momentum in Vikas Loan as well as Retail Assets disbursements," the bank said in a statement.

CASA ratio, thus, stood at 17.7 per cent at the end of Q1-FY25 compared with 14.9 per cent Y-o-Y and 20.1 per cent Q-o-Q.

"Deposit growth was mainly led by Term Deposits, but acquisition of granular CASA was limited, resulting in decrease in CASA ratio," the bank added.
