The aggregate business of 12 PSBs, including State Bank of India and Punjab National Bank, stood at Rs 236.04 lakh crore during the April-September period, registering an 11 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth.

The ministry noted that during the first six months of FY25, credit and deposit portfolio grew 12.9 per cent and 9.5 per cent YoY, and stood at Rs 102.29 lakh crore and Rs 133.75 lakh crore, respectively.

The gross and net NPA stood at 3.12 per cent and 0.63 per cent, respectively, in September 2024, declining 108 bps and 34 bps YoY.

It said banking sector reforms and regular monitoring have addressed many concerns and challenges, and resulted in setting up enhanced systems and processes for credit discipline, recognition and resolution of stressed assets, responsible lending, improved governance, financial inclusion initiatives, technology adoption, etc. These measures have led to a sustained financial health and robustness of the banking sector as a whole, which is reflected in the current performance of the PSBs.

It said major banking reforms such as implementation of enhance access and service excellence (EASE), enactment of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), putting in place a robust governance framework, setting up of National Asset Reconstruction Company (NARCL), amalgamation of PSBs, among others, were undertaken in the last few years.
