Central Bank of India posted Q3 FY26 standalone net profit of Rs 1,26,260 lakh, up about 32 percent year on year from Rs 95,893 lakh. Nine month PAT rose to Rs 3,64,417 lakh. Q3 total income was Rs 10,96,868 lakh. GNPA improved to 2.70 percent from 3.86 percent. Board declared 3rd interim dividend of Rs 0.20 per share. Capital adequacy 16.13 percent. Auditors gave unmodified opinion with emphasis of matter on deferred tax, exceptional item, and depreciation method change.
Strong profit growth, falling bad loans, and interim dividend signal healthy performance. Positive for shareholders in the short and medium term.
