Central Bank of India profit jumps 33%: What's the catch
Central Bank of India just posted a big win: its profit for July-September 2025 soared to ₹1,213 crore, up 33% from last year.
What's interesting is this happened even though the bank actually earned less from interest and other income.
Total business grew by over ₹7.38 lakh crore
The bank's total business grew 14.4% to over ₹7.38 lakh crore, with deposits rising by 13.4%.
More importantly, they managed to cut their bad loans and set aside much less money for potential losses—loan loss provisions dropped by 58%.
As a result, both gross and net non-performing assets improved noticeably.
Interim dividend of ₹1 per share declared
This isn't just another bank update. It shows how Central Bank of India is getting stronger by cleaning up its finances and rewarding shareholders (there's a 2% interim dividend too).
If you're curious about how Central Bank of India is changing or thinking about investing someday, this is worth a quick look.
