That is supported by the fact that the return on assets has also seen an increase. This showcases the reasoning behind the bank\u2019s increased profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, most of the growth in deposits have come from Term Deposits which has led to a decrease in the Share of CASA Deposits. Along with that, the Capital Adequacy Ratio has slightly fallen indicating that the available capital relative to the bank\u2019s risk weighted assets &amp; current liabilities has fallen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Percent<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Q2FY23<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Q2FY22<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Net Interest Margin<\/td><td>5.17%<\/td><td>4.45%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CASA Ratio<\/td><td>56.2%<\/td><td>60.6%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Provision Coverage Ratio<\/td><td>73.7%<\/td><td>67.5%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Capital Adequacy Ratio<\/td><td>22.6%<\/td><td>23.1%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Return on Assets<\/td><td>2.61%<\/td><td>2.36%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Asset Quality:<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>There seems to be an improvement in the asset quality of the firm. This is reflected by the reduction in the bank\u2019s non performing assets. Both Gross Non Performing Assets (GNPA) as well as Net Non Performing Assets (NNPA) have reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/6XA6w9qxmlIt5eo41q6gdGRO_Ku6B-UkEyWaQC2xHLsT9XSz_eHxcXWgcuvMoyqobfYHxcfRtRoCHFOMUqmCo6Vrq7QalKTaJ9pDvZGixZ0AQbeSGqiEEmRZRAoMm1dbf0Z4X6hcbk5TnkSeVbxyW5QXvDtpnsQ1bkhmhcWdKUuottH7qj5WVVdCiw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/6XA6w9qxmlIt5eo41q6gdGRO_Ku6B-UkEyWaQC2xHLsT9XSz_eHxcXWgcuvMoyqobfYHxcfRtRoCHFOMUqmCo6Vrq7QalKTaJ9pDvZGixZ0AQbeSGqiEEmRZRAoMm1dbf0Z4X6hcbk5TnkSeVbxyW5QXvDtpnsQ1bkhmhcWdKUuottH7qj5WVVdCiw\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As discussed earlier the reduction in Provisions contributed to the profitability of the firm. Provision Coverage Ratio indicates that the reduction in the provision amount was made because of the improvement in asset quality and not for any other reason.
