Something is brewing at J&K Bank. A trial balloon has been floated that the J&K Bank should grow its rest-of-India (ROI) business by recruiting there. Unidentified financial experts, talking to unnamed reporters of a prominent Jammu-based English daily, have advocated more lending outside the local economy. The ROI portfolio, it is contended, is no longer just a growth target but an existential necessity for the Banks long-term financial viability. Were it not so flawed in economic and financial reasoning, this could be laughed off as a bad joke. The amateurish narrative, and the agenda behind it, needs to be called out. The outward-looking strategy is flawed financially, commercially, economically and developmentally. It is a bad bargain for the Bank, the people and the government of J&K. The inward-looking policy from 2006 rested on a self-evident opportunity: J&K, with 0.70 per cent of national GDP, received only 0.30 per cent of national credit. With about one per cent of the population, its share of the national personal-loan stock was 0.27 per cent. The state was credit-starved despite SBI, PNB and the other big daddies of Indian banking. That strategy set out in the 2006-07 Annual Report doubled credit inflow even as the share in national output rose only marginally. As on March 2026, J&K accounts for 0.79 per cent of national output and absorbs 0.62 per cent of overall credit. The region remains under-banked on the asset side relative to output, and more so relative to its own deposits. The Bank mobilises about Rs 1,45,000 crore i.e. 80 per cent of its deposits locally yet ploughs back only Rs 80,000 crore into the local economy. By contrast, it raises about Rs 30,000 crore in ROI and has deployed Rs 50,000 crore in credit as of June 2026: a credit-deposit ratio of nearly 170 per cent, almost three times the local ratio. The proposed strategy would widen this disparity through deposit arbitrage. Local savings are five times those raised in ROI, and cheaper. With CASA of 47 per cent the highest in India, better than SBI and HDFC the cost of deposits in J&K is around 4.5 per cent. In ROI, CASA of just 12 per cent lifts the cost to around 6.5 per cent: a gap of 200 basis points. The plain fact is that if the balance sheet of the bank is split into local and ROI books, it will not be profitable for J&K Bank to lend outside without access to the low-cost deposits of the state. What makes the rest of India look profitable is an internal transfer-price mechanism that charges the ROI loan book the average cost of funds anchored in low-cost home deposits and not the higher cost of contracting deposits outside. This under-pricing socialises a home surplus into a common pool and makes outside lending look better than it is. It also hides the risk of a 170 per cent CD ratio: a liquidity threat and an asset-liability mismatch. The Bank should de-risk by cutting ROI exposure. It cannot raise low-cost deposits outside. Facing growing competition at home, the Bank must protect the liability franchise given it by the government and people of J&K and not explore the national field as some self-proclaimed experts advise. If this is altered -- government accounts moving, households shifting to other banks, or CASA migrating to term money -- the pool shrinks, the internal subsidy disappears, and the outside book cannot fund itself at anything like todays cost. Asset-side diversification is liability-side concentration. The ROI loan book looks worse once asset pricing, asset quality and the regulatory cost of capital are counted. Reported NPAs of around Rs 700 crore are understated by restructurings, settlements and write-offs. Off the balance sheet, impaired assets in Delhi and Mumbai must be around Rs 2,000 crore each. Add unapplied interest and the stock of impaired ROI assets be close to half the loan book of ROI. The comparable figure for J&K, on a bigger asset base, is far less. Localised, restructured and rehabilitated books in the local economy perform better than national averages, with slippage on specific state-rehabilitated portfolios held under 1 per cent. What the management and its experts call concentration risk; the stock market treats as the Banks main asset: the home franchise. Analysts and rating agencies cite the regional monopoly as the reason to own the stock. Long-term equity notes describe a safe regional monopoly, not a pan-India lender. Diluting that monopoly to chase ROI volume would strip away what the market still values without first curing the discount that comes from a thin float. The Bank leadership with little feel for the regional economy, may not recognise that J&K Bank is more integral to the J&K economy than even the government. The government is the principal pump-primer; the supply side is driven by the Bank. Set against this macroeconomics, the outward strategy makes even less commercial sense. When J&K Bank lends local deposits inside J&K, the money is spent locally. Wages, purchases and fresh deposits stay in the region. That is the multiplier. When it lends those same deposits in the rest of India, the income is earned elsewhere. J&K only exports its savings. Its creditdeposit ratio falls. That is leakage. A loan to a Pulwama horticulturist does much more for J&K than a housing loan in Pune. Local lending is a development instrument; out-of-region lending is a portfolio choice. Together they can form a virtuous cycle of credit, income and savings. When a hinterland instead exports scarce capital and imports labour outside recruitment is the equivalent despite a domestic labour surplus, it invites distortion. The real risk is not the erosion faceless experts predict if the Bank stays home focused. It is a small, under-served economy shipping its savings to finance the rest of India. Finally, let it be recognised that the people of J&K have invested a lot of emotional equity into the bank which far outweighs the financial equity invested by the Dogra Maharaja and the state government over time. It has been the only profitable and well-functioning institution of the state and it carries an aspirational model. To grow with stability, the Bank must return its focus to J&K and consolidate a slipping home position. Its share of local lending is already falling while rivals compete for the one asset that distinguishes it: low-cost deposits. The next battle will not be who books another corporate loan in the rest of India; it will be who peels CASA and government floats away from J&K Bank. An ROI-first strategy accelerates that loss. It exports the cheap surplus instead of defending the home book, trains the organisation to grow where the franchise is weak, and leaves the Bank thinner on the liabilities that fund its margin. That is not a hedge. It is a smaller franchise at home and a dearer, less stable book abroad and it is best avoided. Tail piece: The consequences of this adventurous strategy are already clear. The banks topline growth has been nearly stagnant for two years and turned negative in the June quarter. Nothing shows the failure of the outbound strategy more clearly than this: despite 60 per cent YoY growth in RoI advances and deposits, earnings growth stagnated despite a change in the accounting practice vis-a-vis PLCs to add Rs 50 odd crores to the net profit. Markets recognised this is not good banking and gave the results a thumbs down. On results day the stock fell almost Rs 30 in half an hour, and the slide has continued since.
