  • Since last 2 years, these PSU banks seen NPAs pressure and thus, they were to keep aside a part of their operating profits for the sake of provisioning of NPAs. That is the reason, these banks had to book losses or negative profits in their financial statements. As a result, their market capitalisation was not growing significantly.
  • But after Interim and Final Budget 2019, the PSU banks had to make comparatively less provisioning of NPAs from their operating profits due to capital infusion by the government.
