Rating Rationale
Acuite has reaffirmed the long-term rating of 'ACUITE AA+' (read as ACUITE double A Plus) on the Rs. 1500.00
crore Basel III Additional Tier-1 Bonds of Bank of India. The outlook is 'Stable'.
Acuite has reaffirmed the long-term rating of `ACUITE AAA' (read as ACUITE triple A) on the Rs. 2000.00 crore
Basel III compliant Tier-H Bonds of Bank of India. The outlook is 'Stable'.
Acuite has withdrawn its long-term rating on the Rs. 148.00 Cr. Proposed Perpetual Additional Tier-1 Bonds of Bank
of India without assigning any rating. The withdrawal is on account of request received from the issuer.
Acuite has also withdrawn its long-term rating on the Rs. 750.00 Cr. Basel III Additional Tier-I Bonds & Rs. 602.00
Cr. Basel III Additional Tier-I Bonds of Bank of India without assigning any rating and we have received No Due
Confirmation received from the trustee. The withdrawal is on account of request received from the issuer.
The rating withdrawal is in accordance with Acuite's policy on withdrawal of rating as applicable to the respective
facility / instrument.
Rationale for the rating
The rating takes into consideration the sustained improvement in the earning profile, capital position and asset
quality. Accordingly the bank reported a PAT of Rs. 10527.15 Cr. as on March 31, 2026 against Rs. 9219.02 Cr. in
FY25. This is the highest ever PAT that has been recorded by the bank. The rating further factors in the growth
momentum in the overall business with the domestic advance scaling to Rs 6,73,833 Cr. as on Q1FY27 from Rs.
5,65,297 Cr. as on Q1FY26 which is a 19.20% growth year on year. The rating continues to factor in BoI's strong
parentage and demonstrated capital support from the Government of India. This is well reflected in the bank's healthy
capitalization levels, with overall capital adequacy ratio of 18.01% as on March 31, 2026 [Tier 1 CAR: 15.35%]
from 17.77% as on March 31, 2025 [Tier I CAR: 15.47%]. The rating also takes into account an improvement in the
bank's financial performance primarily led by decline in slippages and overall credit costs. The ratings continue to
factor in BoI's healthy liability profile characterized by Current Account Savings Account (CASA) mix of 36.88% as
on June 30, 2026 from 39.88% as on June 30, 2025. Additionally, the bank's high provision cover of 93.83% as on
June 30, 2026 from 92.94% as on June 30, 2025 which provides adequate buffer against near to medium term asset
quality risks. These strengths are offset by the bank's modest albeit improving asset quality. The bank's GNPA and
NNPA stood at 1.98% and 0.56% respectively as on March 31, 2026 from 3.27% and 0.82% respectively as on
March 31, 2025. While the bank continues to have healthy provision cover, performance of restructured portfolio and
asset quality in softer buckets continue to be critical. Going forward, the bank's ability to maintain an upward
trajectory in overall financial performance as well as contain asset quality risks will be key monitorables.
For ATI bond ratings, Acuite has considered higher risk features including the discretion of coupon payments in a
weak capital scenario and principal loss absorption in part or full at the 'point of non-viability (PONY)' of a bank.

banking, corporate/wholesale banking, priority sector banking, treasury operations and other banking services. The

Analytical Approach
Acuite has adopted the standalone approach while assessing the business and financial risk profile of the Bank of
India. The standalone approach, however, also duly factors in benefit from the ownership i.e. Government of India. In
case of the ATI bond programme, the rating has been appropriately notched down as per the specific rating criteria
for these instruments.
Key Rating Drivers
Strength
Ownership and demonstrated capital benefit from the Government
BoI remains one of the 12 public sector banks in India subsequent to the consolidation exercise undertaken by the
Gol in FY19-20. The bank operates through an extensive network of 5510 branches spread across India and 21
overseas branches across 14 countries. As of June 30, 2026, the government held 73.38% stake in the bank and has
demonstrated its proactive support to the bank through regular equity infusions, underlining the strategic importance
of the bank in furthering the objective of financial inclusion. The Bank received capital support aggregating to Rs.
29,794 crore over FY17- FY21 (Rs. 2,838 crore in FY17, Rs. 9,232 crore in FY18, Rs. 14,724 crore in FY19 and Rs.
3,000 crore in FY2021) from GoI. Turnaround in financial performance and ability to raise capital via market route
has further augmented the bank's capitalisation position. As on March 31, 2026, the bank reported CAR of 18.01%
