RBI releases ‘Quarterly BSR-1: Outstanding Credit of Scheduled Commercial Banks, December 2014'
The Reserve Bank of India today released the web publication ‘Quarterly BSR-1: Outstanding Credit of Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs), December 2014’. This is the very first release of quarterly data on Basic Statistical Return (BSR) -1. Under BSR-1, information on occupation/activity and organisational sector of the borrower, type of account, interest rate, credit limit and amount outstanding are collected for each loan account. Such information is aggregated at the bank group, population group and state level using locational parameters of the reporting bank offices. This web publication contains comprehensive data on gross bank credit of SCBs (other than RRBs), as on December 31, 2014 along with comparable data as on March 31, 2014, released earlier in the publication ‘Basic Statistical Returns of Scheduled Commercial Banks in India’, Volume-43, March 2014.The data can be accessed at http://dbie.rbi.org.in/DBIE/dbie.rbi?site=publications#!12 through the website: Database on Indian Economy (DBIE) (http://dbie.rbi.org.in). The Reserve Bank has been collecting granular level credit data from SCBs on an annual basis through BSR-1 survey. In order to use these data for policy purposes, the frequency of the survey was changed to quarterly for all SCBs, other than regional rural banks, on an experimental basis. The data is now being released in public domain. Highlights emerging from the data are given below.
