Bandhan Bank reported a significantly lower net profit for the fourth quarter at ₹54.6 crore, starkly below the ₹882.3 crore predicted by a CNBC-TV18 poll. This fall was primarily due to higher provisions, which surged by 141% year-on-year (YoY) and 159% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ). The bank's board, however, recommended a dividend of ₹1.50 per equity share, equivalent to 15% of the face value.
