Jammu and Kashmir Bank reported a 9% decline in net profit to Rs.585 crore in Q4 FY25 due to increased provisions, despite better asset quality. FY25 net profit rose 18% to a record Rs.2,083 crore. The board declared a Rs.2.15 dividend per share.
Jammu and Kashmir Bank closed Q4 FY25 with a net profit of Rs.585 crore, registering a 9% year-on-year decline compared to Rs.640 crore in the same quarter last year. The dip was primarily due to higher provisioning requirements, which rose to Rs.58 crore, in contrast to a provision reversal of Rs.47.4 crore in Q4 FY24.
Despite the profit dip, the bank posted strong operational numbers. Pre-provision operating profit rose 20.5% YoY to Rs.800 crore, supported by improved business volumes and operating efficiency. Asset quality continued to improve, with the gross non-performing assets (GNPA) ratio falling to 3.37%, compared to 4.08% a year ago.
The board recommended a final dividend of Rs.2.15 per share for FY25, equivalent to a 215% payout on the face value of Re.1 per share.

Jammu and Kashmir Bank’s leadership attributed the bank’s full-year performance to consistent income growth, strong cost management, and prudent lending practices. While the Q4 net profit was impacted by higher provisioning, the bank’s record annual profit of Rs.2,083 crore reflects its operational strength. Strategic investments in digital banking and financial inclusion have helped the bank scale new customer segments, especially in its core regions.
Looking ahead, the bank will aim to sustain profitability through deeper market penetration, enhanced digital offerings, and a conservative risk framework. Its strong CASA base and regional dominance provide a robust foundation to explore expansion outside the J&K and Ladakh region.
The banking sector continues to benefit from credit demand across retail, agriculture, and MSME segments. As interest rates stabilise and public infrastructure spending rises, banks with a solid liability franchise and improving asset quality—like J&K Bank—are positioned to grow sustainably. Analysts expect continued focus on digital transformation, margin optimisation, and capital adequacy to shape performance in FY26.
