Our consistent efforts have enabled us to resolve the NPA accounts, thereby reducing our total GNPA to 1.35% as on June 30, 2024.
The Government's commitment to inclusive growth is demonstrated by the expansion of the PMAY scheme, which includes the provision of 3 crore additional houses in urban and rural areas.

The Company is well-positioned to capitalize on this opportunity with our Pan India presence through 303 branches, including dedicated160 branches for the affordable segment.”
