The results for the quarter included the results of operations of the erstwhile State Bank of Indore for the period starting 26 August 2010 following SBI's acquisition of the subsidiary bank and the results are not comparable with the previous year quarter to that extent, SBI said in a release.
The board of SBI, which met today, also announced the appointment of G D Nadaf, currently deputy manager at its local head office in Bangalore, as an officer employee director on the bank's central board of directors for a period of three years.
