Axis Bank posted a net profit of Rs 2,677 crore for the quarter ended March 2021 (Q4) owing to a steep fall in bad loan provisions.

Its net interest income grew by 11 per cent to Rs 7,555 crore in Q4 of FY21 compared to Rs 6,807.7 crore during the corresponding period.
Axis Bank said that its total deposits grew by 10 per cent on period-end basis and by nine per cent YoY on quarterly average balance (QAB) basis.
On the asset quality front, gross non-performing assets (NPAs) as a percentage of gross advances increased to 3.70 per cent as of March 2021, from 3.44 per cent as of December 2020. Net NPA also climbed to 1.05 per cent from 0.75 per cent in the same period.
