The bank has 64% of its advances as working capital loans (which command higher interest) and 90% of the loan book is compromises floating interest rate (reduces the risk on interest rate fluctuations).
Agriculture and MSME constitute 49% of the loan book and the ticket size of the loans are small making it less prone to default.

DCB which has majority of its branches in Maharashtra and Gujarat has seen its revenue increase by 22.16% and profit by 31.30%. YoY. DCB has been very much controlled in terms of it NPA. Only 1.75% of its total advances are Gross NPAs and 0.84% Net NPAs.
DCB has been churning out higher profit on account of improved net interest margin, which is currently at 3.96%. Which generally lies between 2% to 3% for most of the banks.
DCB is the only bank which has maintained provision coverage ratio above 75% consistently. The prescribed limit is 70%. But this has resulted in higher provisioning by the bank. The bank has provisioned 26 Crs for the quarter, which is 29% increase in provisioning with respect to last quarter.
Higher provisioning has also taken a toll on DCBs capital adequacy ratio. Its CAR dropped from 13.15% in last quarter to 11.90% for current quarter. Though it is well above the RBI mandated 9.6%, but it’s safer to maintain a level above 12%.
DCB grew its deposits at 30.44% YoY for the present quarter. Advances also grew by 29.11% YoY.
DCBs 63.90% revenue came from retail banking which has asset allocation of 52.66%. 13.03% of the revenue came from corporate banking which has an asset allocation 5.85%.
