Key Highlights of the Q3 Results of Union Bank
Net Profit
This State-owned bank’s net profits rose to Rs. 1,085 crores for Q3, which is a rise of 49.3% year-on-year. Thus, this increase in yields was due to the following factors:
Steep dip in provisions and contingencies
Improvement in interest margins
Moreover, for the third quarter of Financial Year 2021, the net profit was Rs. 726 crores. Yet profit declined from the second quarter of Financial Year 2021. The profit for the quarter ending in September was Rs. 1,526 crores.

Asset Quality

Bottom Line
In a statement, the Executive Director of the Union Bank of India said that the rise in profits was mainly due to a fall in provisions and a soar in net interest income.
Moreover, there was a fall in non-interest income because treasury rates have gone up. Hence, in future, it remains to be seen how the performance of this bank will impact investors.
