November 9, 2015, Mumbai: Bank of India reported an operating profit of Rs. 1,458 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The Q2 results were announced by Shri Melwyn Rego (Managing Director & CEO) in the presence of Shri R P Marathe (Executive Director, BOI) and Shri R A Sankara Narayanan (Executive Director, BOI) at a press conference in Mumbai. The Net Interest Income stood at Rs. 3,020 crore and the Non-Interest Income stood at Rs. 778 crore. Operating Profit for H1FY16 stood at Rs. 3,162 crore. Net Interest Income stood at Rs. 5,932 crore. Non-Interest Income stood at Rs. 1,619 crore.

Shri Melwyn Rego, MD & CEO, Bank of India, said, “Looking ahead, the Bank would be adopting a three pronged strategy. The first and primary focus would be on NPA management for which a plan has been chalked out. The second would be on further augmentation of CASA from current level of 31% to 35% in the next 1 year. The third focus area would be on re-balancing of portfolio in favour of retail assets to reduce concentration risk. Currently, the corporate portfolio is 55% and retail portfolio is 45%. The Bank proposes to reverse the percentages with retail advances accounting for 55%. This would be done over a period of 2 years.” He added, “During the quarter there has been several positives. I would like to mention that CRAR, Provision Coverage Ratio, Net Interest Margin and CASA ratios have shown significant improvement. Provision Coverage Ratio has increased from 52% in March 2015 to 55% in September 2015. Due to shedding of high cost deposits, the net interest margin on domestic advances has, in fact, increased from 2.27 % in the March 2015 to 2.77% in the September 2015 i.e. an increase of 50 bps.
