Punjab National Bank posted a 52% rise in Q4 FY25 net profit to Rs.4,567 crore, aided by higher interest income and lower bad loans. FY25 profit doubled to Rs.16,630 crore. The bank’s asset quality improved sharply with GNPA falling to 3.95%.
Punjab National Bank (PNB) reported a strong set of numbers for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, with net profit rising 52% year-on-year to Rs.4,567 crore compared to Rs.3,010 crore in Q4 FY24. This performance was driven by higher interest earnings and significant improvement in asset quality.
Total income for the quarter rose 13.4% YoY to Rs.36,705 crore, supported by growth in both net interest income (NII) and non-interest income. NII grew 4% YoY to Rs.10,757 crore, while non-interest income increased 11% YoY to Rs.4,716 crore. Operating profit stood at Rs.6,776 crore, up 6% from Rs.6,389 crore in the same quarter last year.
Operating expenses were contained at Rs.8,697 crore, marking a 6.1% YoY increase. The bank’s asset quality metrics showed considerable progress, with gross NPA ratio falling to 3.95% from 5.73% last year, and net NPA improving to 0.40% from 0.73%.

Punjab National Bank’s management attributed the strong performance to disciplined credit underwriting, a focus on quality lending, and improved operational efficiency. The bank’s significant YoY profit growth and reduction in NPAs signal a turnaround in asset quality, which had earlier been a concern. The high provision coverage ratio further strengthens its balance sheet.
For FY26, PNB aims to sustain momentum through enhanced digital banking channels, retail and MSME growth, and focus on high-margin products. Continued efforts in risk management and cost control are expected to support long-term stability and capital adequacy.
India’s banking sector remains on a positive trajectory, supported by rising credit demand, improving rural cash flows, and moderating inflation. Public sector banks like PNB are well-positioned to benefit from infrastructure financing, government-backed schemes, and digital adoption. Asset quality metrics and CASA growth will remain key factors driving future performance.
