State-owned Bank of Baroda on Friday reduced its marginal cost of funds-based lending rate (MCLR) by 5 basis points (bps) across tenures. The one-year MCLR at the bank now stands at 8.3%. The overnight rate is was reduced to 8.05%, the one-month rate to 8.1%, the three-month rate to 8.15%, the six-month rate to 8.25%, the three-year rate to 8.45% and the five-year rate to 8.6%.

The revised rates will come into effect on Saturday. Under the MCLR regime, banks review their lending rates every month based on their incremental cost of funds and a few other factors, as mandated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). This method of determining lending rates replaced the older base-rate regime in April 2016.

Bank of Baroda said on Thursday it had cut the base rate by 0.35 per cent to 9.15 per cent with effect from Sunday.

MUMBAI: Over 8000 customers of state-run lender Bank of Baroda found their current and savings account erroneously debited with NEFT and RTGS transaction charges after the process of upgrading the bank’s core banking software led to technical glitches in the NEFT, RTGS and outward clearing-related transactions.

“Approximately 8300 accounts were also impacted on August 19, 2017 on account of erroneous debit of service charges that were not due from the customers,” the bank said in a statement on its website dated August 22. “These charges have since been reversed and impacted customers have been duly informed via SMS on August 20, 2017.”

It was a mixed bag for bad loan recoveries by banks in the June quarter of FY18 over the previous year, data compiled by FE showed. While banks like State Bank of India (SBI), ICICI Bank and Axis Bank have reported higher recoveries, others like Punjab National Bank (PNB), Canara Bank and Union Bank of India have shown a dip in recoveries in Q1. According to the data, SBI reported the highest recovery at Rs 4,646 crore in Q1, among all lenders. SBI chairman Arundhati Bhattacharya recently told reporters that the bank expects resolutions in corporate accounts.

While management continued to highlight improvement in inherent processes and sharper business focus, confidence of translation of these efforts to higher return ratios in the near future remains low, with our estimates suggesting an RoE of ~14% only by FY20. Risk of chunky slippages leading to lower NIMs and higher credit costs continues to remain for the next few quarters. Maintain ‘hold’ with a revised PT of Rs 155.

New Delhi: Within days of State of Bank of India (SBI) slashing interest rate on savings bank account, another public sector unit (PSU) bank—Bank of Baroda—has followed suit, cutting it to 3.5% on deposits of up to Rs50 lakh.

“We wish to inform you that it has been decided to introduce a 2-tier savings bank interest rate (from) 5 August...,” the bank said in a regulatory filing.

Bank of Baroda has entered into an agreement with Directorate General of Supplies & Disposal (DGS&D) for extending various banking services to Government e-Marketplace (GeM). DGS&D has been mandated to set up GeM, an initiative intended to bring greater transparency and efficiency in public procurements, BoB said in a statement today. The relationship of the bank with GeM will immensely benefit all stakeholders and ensure a support system including a dedicated team for seamless functioning of the portal, it said.

Three key reasons for the upgrade to ‘buy’ from ‘neural’: early stress recognition and high NPA coverage of 58% imply a lower P&L hit in FY18F from higher provisions for RBI’s identified large NPAs; the PPOP outlook is better than peers as the capital levels will not constrain growth, and unlike peers there are positive NIM catalysts for BOB in FY18F – we expect +12% ROE in FY19F; with a 17% correction in the past two months, we believe the market expectations on NPA resolutions are more realistic with BOB trading at 0.85x Mar-19F adjusted book.

Indian state-run Bank of Baroda on Thursday reported a fourth-quarter net profit of Rs 155 crore ($23.89 million).
