State-owned Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) on Wednesday reported a 113 per cent jump in its standalone profit after tax (PAT) to Rs 454 crore in the quarter ended December 2021, helped by lower provisions and higher cash recovery.

Its standalone PAT stood at Rs 213 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.

Net NPA came down to 2.63 per cent from 3.13 per cent.

Sengupta said slippages in the quarter stood at Rs 1,254 crore. Of this, Rs 650 crore was on account of divergences in NPA classification pointed out by the RBI. The divergences were mainly in education and agriculture loans of the lender, he said.

Provisions fell to Rs 1,073 crore from Rs 1,518 crore in the year-ago period. The provision coverage ratio (PCR) improved to 92.33 per cent as against 91.91 per cent.
