    Net Advances Cross ₹5 Lakh Crore for the First Time

    The amount of advances stood at ₹5.12 lakh crore as of June 30, 2026, and there was an increase in growth of 15%. This crossed the significant mark of ₹5 lakh crore. Net advances in Q1 FY2027 were up 15% YoY to ₹4.95 lakh crore.

    Deposits Hold Steady; CASA Declines Sequentially

    Total deposits were ₹5.73 lakh crore as of June 30, 2026, growing by 12% from last year and essentially remaining unchanged on a sequential basis. Total deposits average for the quarter was ₹5.59 lakh crore, showing a 14% YoY increase in total deposits.

    Within the mix, CASA deposits stood at ₹2.31 lakh crore, up 10% YoY but down 7% QoQ, showing a sequential shift toward higher-cost term deposits. Average CASA deposits for the quarter increased 13% YoY to ₹2.17 lakh crore, suggesting the decline was largely concentrated toward the quarter-end rather than evenly distributed.

    CASA Decline and Cost of Funds in Focus

    It is the 7% quarterly fall in CASA during the period that is likely to be of interest to the market. A decrease in the CASA ratio means that the deposit mix consists of more term deposits, which are expensive.

    For a bank that has historically maintained one of the stronger CASA ratios among private sector lenders, a sequential contraction of this magnitude will raise questions about the cost of funds trajectory heading into the full Q1 FY27 results. With advances growing at 15% YoY and deposits at 12% YoY, the loan-to-deposit ratio has also moved higher, adding a further dimension to the liquidity picture that analysts will assess when full financials are published.

    Conclusion

    The provisional Q1 FY27 update of Kotak Mahindra Bank suggests continued double-digit advances growth, with the net loan portfolio having surpassed the milestone of ₹5 lakh crore for the first time. Two important factors that are likely to be of special interest for the shareholders during the bank's reporting by the bank on its financials, including NIMs, profit margins, and asset quality, on July 18, 2026, would include the sequential dip in CASA deposits and the divergence in advance-deposits growth trajectory.
