Jana Small Finance Bank Limited (JSFB) announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1 FY27), with Profit After Tax (PAT) at ₹155 crore. The Net Interest Margin (NIM) improved to 7.5%, driven by a 50 basis points year-on-year decline in the cost of funds and reduced slippages in unsecured loans.
The bank reported that 79.8% of its unsecured loans are now under a guarantee program, significantly mitigating potential future losses. Out of the ₹214 crore net NPAs as of June 30, 2026, ₹196 crore are covered under this guarantee.

The bank is focusing on growing its retail deposit base and expects a deposit growth of 23% to 25% for FY27. The cost of funds is expected to stabilize around 7.3% to 7.4% for the year.
JSFB plans to open 78 new branches, including 8 new ones, 30 splits, and 40 relocations. New product launches planned for the current fiscal year include Credit Line on UPI and loans against shares, expected in the second quarter.
