Jana Small Finance Bank reported a divergence of ₹169 crore in gross and net NPAs as of March 31, 2025, with RBI assessing them at ₹919 crore and ₹423 crore respectively.

The divergence in NPA figures and provisioning, although clarified as having no immediate P&L impact, can affect market perception of asset quality and regulatory compliance. Investors and analysts will scrutinize these figures, potentially influencing short-term stock performance and future lending decisions.
The announcement details a divergence in NPA figures and provisioning as assessed by the RBI. While this indicates a difference between the bank's reporting and regulatory assessment, the bank clarifies that there is no impact on the current fiscal year's P&L. This neutral stance is maintained as the financial figures are presented factually with a clear explanation of the impact.
Jana Small Finance Bank Limited has disclosed divergences in asset classification and provisioning for Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) as per the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) Risk Assessment Report for the financial year 2024-25. The bank reported gross NPAs of ₹750 crore as of March 31, 2025, while the RBI assessed them to be ₹919 crore, resulting in a divergence of ₹169 crore.
Similarly, net NPAs reported by the bank were ₹254 crore, with the RBI's assessment at ₹423 crore, also showing a divergence of ₹169 crore. Provisions for NPAs reported by the bank stood at ₹495 crore, whereas the RBI's assessment was ₹537 crore, indicating a divergence of ₹42 crore in provisioning.
The reported profit before provisions and contingencies for the year ended March 31, 2025, was ₹1,226 crore, and the reported Net Profit After Tax (PAT) was ₹501 crore. However, after considering the divergence in provisioning, the adjusted (notional) Net Profit After Tax (PAT) for the same period is ₹459 crore. The management noted that this divergence in provisions of ₹42 crore has already been accounted for in FY 2025-26, resulting in no impact on the Profit & Loss for FY 2026-27.
