Foreword
This annual publication, Statistical Tables Relating to Banks in India, provides a range of key information on banks. Disaggregated data are given bank-wise and bank group-wise on parameters such as liabilities and assets, income and expenditure, non-performing assets, financial ratios, distribution of offices, number of employees and details of advances to priority sector and weaker sections. It also provides bank group-wise monthly data on some of the major items such as liabilities to the banking system, assets with the banking system, investments, bank credit, and, sector-wise and industry-wise gross bank credit. This is the 67th volume of the publication by the Reserve Bank and would be the 92nd volume in the series if the volumes brought out by the then Department of Statistics, Government of India are also accounted for. This volume has been brought out under the overall guidance of Shri A. B. Chakraborty, Officer-in-Charge, and Dr. A. K. Srimany, Adviser, DSIM. The core team for this publication comprised Dr. Pradip Bhuyan, Director, Dr. Achamma Samuel, Assistant Adviser, Shri Amit Kumar and Smt. Nivedita Banerjee, Research Officers, Smt. ShobhaA. Parab and Shri A. Thomas, Assistant Managers. They were assisted by Shri A. N. Patel, Shri P. M. Pathre, Smt. S. I. Misquitta, Smt. P. P. Vanmali, and Smt. L. B. Gharat. The publication team also got considerable support from Data Warehousing team in creating 'camera ready' material used in the publication. Data Warehousing team comprised Shri N. Senthil Kumar, Director, Shri J. Navas, Assistant Adviser and Shri Nanu Ram Meena, Research Officer, under the overall guidance of Shri V. Bahuguna, Adviser, DSIM. I hope the current volume would prove to be a valuable source of information on banks in India and the publication will be of immense interest and use to researchers, analysts, policy makers and bankers.
