Private lender HDFC Bank will kick start the July-September quarter earnings season for large-cap banks when it will report its Q2FY21 results on Saturday, October 17. Hit by Covid-19 pandemic, the lender is expected to report a sub-20 per cent YoY growth in net profit for the third consecutive quarter.

Earlier this month, HDFC Bank said its loan book had expanded 16 per cent on a yearly basis to Rs 10.37 trillion as on September
