Bandhan Bank Expects Rs 200 Crore Income Loss from Proposed Insurance Commission Changes
Bandhan Bank anticipates an annual income loss of about Rs 200 crore due to the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India's proposed changes to insurance commission structures. Managing Director Partha Pratim Sengupta stated the impact will affect the entire banking sector, including Bandhan Bank, which plans to offset the shortfall by focusing on mutual fund distribution and other product areas. The bank reported a net profit of Rs 622 crore in the recent quarter, with Rs 156 crore earned from third-party product distribution. Exposure to drought-affected regions in Karnataka and Maharashtra is minimal, posing limited financial risk.
