Notes:

1)

Classification of bank offices according to population for the year 1969 is based on 1961 census. For the period 1990 to 1993, it is based on 1981 census and for the subsequent years it is based on 1991 census. Population per office, per capita deposits and per capita credit are based on the estimated mid year population figures supplied by the Office of the Registrar General, India.

2)

Deposits, credit and investments of Scheduled Commercial Banks in India are as per "Form-A" return under Section 42(2) of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 and relate to the last Friday of the reference period.

3)

Scheduled Commercial Banks' advances to priority sectors and the related ratios are exclusive of Regional Rural Banks.

4)

For working out cash-deposit ratio, cash is taken as the total of 'cash in hand' and 'balances with the Reserve Bank of India'. The data for 'cash in hand' are taken from "Form-A" return as per Section 42(2) of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 and 'balances with the Reserve Bank of India' are taken from the "Weekly Statement of Affairs of the Reserve Bank of India".
