NII is the difference between the interest earned and interest expended.

The net interest margin was 3.84% in Q4-2021 compared to 3.67% in the quarter ended December 31, 2020 (Q3-2021) and 3.87% in Q4-2020, the bank said.

During Q4-2021, the Bank utilised contingency provision amounting to Rs 3,509 crore (US$ 480 million) towards proforma NPAs as of December 31, 2020, as these loans have now been classified as per the RBI guidelines.
