Today, the Reserve Bank of India released the Report on Trend and Progress of Banking in India 2022-23, a statutory publication in compliance with Section 36 (2) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. This Report presents the performance of the banking sector, including co-operative banks and non-banking financial institutions, during 2022-23 and 2023-24 so far.

Currently, recourse to the Standing Deposit Facility (SDF) and the Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) is available on an overnight basis on all days, including Sundays and holidays, but reversal is permitted only on the next working day in Mumbai. As announced in the Governor’s Statement dated December 08, 2023, it has been decided to allow reversal of liquidity facilities under both SDF and MSF even during weekends and holidays with effect from December 30, 2023. The SDF/MSF bids triggered under the Automated Sweep-In and Sweep-Out (ASISO) facility will now reverse on the next calendar day. In the case of a manual bid placed through the e-Kuber portal, the choice with regard to tenor will be exercisable by the eligible entities at the time of placing of bid. Access to SDF/MSF will continue to be available on all days, including Sundays and holidays.
