Date : Nov 29, 2016
The Reserve Bank of India released today Quarterly Statistics on Deposits and Credit of Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) as on September 30, 2016. The data for this quarterly survey has been collected from all SCBs including Regional Rural Banks (RRBs). The data include types of deposits and total credit according to states, districts, centres, population groups and bank groups. The data are available on https://dbie.rbi.org.in and can be directly accessed through the link https://dbie.rbi.org.in/DBIE/dbie.rbi?site=publications#!3.
From this round onwards, certain changes have been made in the manner in which the survey is conducted. First, from this survey, the reference date for this quarterly survey will be the last day of all the calendar quarters. So far, the reference date for the survey for quarters ending June, September and December used to be the last Friday of the quarter. Second, the definition of credit has been changed to be at par with that for other returns, that is, it will now exclude the bills re-discounted. Lastly, the population group classification of centres where bank branches/ offices are located, is based on population of such centres as per Census 2011 instead of that based on population as per Census 2001. For comparison purpose, population group-wise data for past four quarters (September 2015 to June 2016) have also been re-cast based on Census 2011.
