NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's second-largest private-lender, ICICI Bank <ICBK.NS>, reported a 28% fall in net profit in the quarter ended Sept. 30 due to a one-time charge related to deferred taxes.

Net profit fell to 6.5 billion Indian rupees ($91.79 million) in the second quarter compared with 9.09 billion rupees the same time last year.

Asset quality improved with gross non-performing assets (NPAs) at 6.37% compared to 8.54% in the corresponding quarter a year ago.

Net NPA also improved to 1.60%.

Net interest margin, a key indicator of bank profitability, stood at 3.64%.

The bank remains well-capitalised with a capital adequacy ratio of 16.14% at the end of September.
