Mumbai , Oct. 28 The net profit of State Bank of India has fallen marginally by 2.53 per cent to Rs 1,184.49 crore (Rs 1,215.36 crore) for the second quarter ended September 30. The slight decline in profits follows higher tax provisions. Also, the bank did not enjoy the benefit of interest on income-tax refund at Rs 712 crore, available last year. For the first quarter ended June 30, the bank saw a 34.7 per cent dip in net profit to Rs 798.57 crore (Rs 12,299.23 crore). Provisions have been placed at Rs 1,288.07 crore (Rs 767.56 crore). Net Interest Margin stands at 3.32 per cent (3.13 per cent). Deposits increased by 10.77 per cent and cost of deposits declined to 4.51 per cent (4.64 per cent).
