Bank of Maharashtra Q1 FY27 profit rises; auditors flag ₹250 crore COVID provision reversal

The bank's unaudited June-quarter results carry an emphasis-of-matter note on the reversal of ₹250 crore of COVID-era contingency provisions, after which ₹760 crore of such provisions remain.

What was filed

Bank of Maharashtra's board met on 10 July 2026 and approved the bank's unaudited standalone and consolidated results for the quarter ended 30 June 2026. The four joint statutory central auditors issued a limited review report with an unmodified opinion. The disclosure, made under SEBI's listing regulations, is accompanied by segment reporting, a security-cover certificate for the bank's listed debt, and a statement confirming no fresh debt or equity was raised during the quarter.

The quarter's numbers

Standalone net profit rose against the year-earlier quarter on higher total income and operating profit, per the filing. Asset quality held steady, with the gross NPA ratio unchanged from the March quarter and improved from a year earlier, and the net NPA ratio flat. The capital adequacy ratio under Basel III and the Government of India's shareholding are both set out in the filing, as is a provision coverage ratio of 98.55% including technical write-offs.

Provision reversal and other disclosures

By way of an emphasis of matter, the auditors drew attention to the reversal during the quarter of COVID-19-related contingency provisions, after which the bank continues to hold the remaining balance of such provisions. The filing describes this as a management reassessment rather than a change in core operations. The notes also disclose 47 fraud cases, an RBI penalty of ₹0.02 crore, and a book of projects under implementation totalling ₹10,304.61 crore at quarter-end. The bank said it raised no funds through debt or equity in the quarter and reported no deviation in the use of earlier issue proceeds.

Quarterly results and their notes give holders a current read on the bank's profitability, asset quality and capital position; the emphasis-of-matter on the COVID provision reversal is a point holders may wish to weigh when interpreting the reported profit, as the filing describes it as a management reassessment rather than core operations.
