<p>Punjab National Bank (PNB) chairman Sunil Mehta&nbsp;said Tuesday that the state-run bank, which has been hit by India's biggest banking scam in 2018, had posted a quarterly profit helped by a sharp drop in provisions. PNB had been scammed of over Rs 13,000 crore by the jewellers Nirav Modi and his uncle Mehul Choksi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Our recovery for the first three quarters is Rs.16,000 crore, which is almost three times the recovery last year. This, in turn, has helped us in reducing our Gross NPA percentages from 18.32% to 16.33% right now," Mehta said Tuesday.&nbsp;</p>
