SBI Cards and Payment Services Ltd reported a 19% YoY decline in net profit at Rs.534 crore in Q4 FY25 due to rising impairments. However, total income rose 8% to Rs.4,832 crore, supported by growth in interest income and card usage.
SBI Card posted a subdued Q4 FY25 performance as consolidated net profit dropped 19% to Rs.534 crore from Rs.662 crore in Q4 FY24. The decline was attributed to higher delinquencies and provisioning. However, total income rose 8% YoY to Rs.4,832 crore, driven by a steady rise in interest income, which grew to Rs.2,415 crore from Rs.2,139 crore in the same quarter last year.
For FY25, profit dropped 20% YoY to Rs.1,916 crore compared to Rs.2,408 crore in FY24. Nonetheless, full-year income rose to Rs.18,637 crore, up from Rs.17,484 crore. Asset quality weakened as gross NPA rose to 3.08% and net NPA to 1.46%, compared to 2.76% and 0.99%, respectively, a year ago.
Impairment losses and bad debts spiked to Rs.1,245 crore in Q4 FY25 from Rs.944 crore in Q4 FY24. The company’s balance sheet expanded to Rs.65,546 crore as of March 31, 2025, up from Rs.58,171 crore in the previous year.

The company experienced strong revenue momentum but was affected by rising credit costs. Asset quality deterioration and elevated provisioning weighed on profitability. Management is expected to enhance risk controls, improve collection efficiency, and scale high-yield segments to mitigate future credit losses.
Rising consumer spends and digital transactions are likely to support medium-term growth for credit card issuers. However, margin and asset quality pressures may persist amid macro volatility. Analysts expect the industry to focus on improving collections and diversifying fee-based income.
