The state-owned bank further said that the alleged fraud of Rs 389.85 crore will not impact its profitability as the lender has made full provisions for the defaulted amount in its books.
In a filing to stock exchanges, OBC said the account turned non-performing asset (NPA) or bad loan on March 31, 2014 and the bank had declared the company a wilful defaulter on June 30, 2014.
"Total exposure in these account have been fully provided for and there will be no additional impact on the profitability on the bank," it added.
