Bank credit grew by around 20.9% to Rs 41 lakh crore and deposits increased by 17.7% to Rs 54.94 lakh crore, in the 12 month period ended June 17, 2011, the increased bank credit indicates the increase in the industrial activities. Bankers, however, say that there is an absence of demand for new projects and adequate liquidity is preventing them from raising interest rates despite the Reserve Bank of India's measures.

As per the data released by the Reserve Bank of India, credit off-take during the period stood at Rs 41.23 lakh crore against Rs 34.10 lakh crore in the same period of the previous year. Simultaneously, outstanding deposits reached to a record Rs 54.94 lakh crore, an increase of 17.7% from Rs 46.64 lakh crore in the corresponding period last year.

M D Mallya, chairman, Bank of Baroda, and chief of the Indian Banks Association said 'There is a demand for loans, but we are not seeing many proposals for new projects”. According to Mallya, there was adequate liquidity in the banking system because the year-to-date growth in loans was not very high. 'As a result, banks have not raised their lending rate so far,' Mallya added.

Despite the strong annual growth in deposit as well as in credit, both has seen a minor moderation in fortnight, however, the minor fall in deposit and credit could be because of the quarterly outflow of advance tax which took place during the fortnight.

Earlier in this Month, the central bank has increased its key policy rates by 25 basis points, since March 2010 it was the 10th hike in row. In the annual monetary policy 2011-12 released in May, RBI has said that credit is likely to rise at a faster pace because of the economy’s growth momentum. The Apex bank had estimated credit growth to be around 19% in this financial year, whereas deposit growth to be around 17%.
