Banks have exceeded the central bank's projection of 20% loan growth for the year as loans grew by 21.5% until the last reporting Friday of FY11. Deposits grew by 16.1%, lower than RBI's projection of 18% for the year, though many banks have raised interest rate on deposits over the past 3-4 months.
Bank loans rose 6, 98,260.56 crore, or 21.5% to 39, 38,659.08 crore as of March 25, 2011, on a year-on-year basis, data released by the Reserve Bank of India showed. However, a bulk of the loans about 42% was disbursed only in the fourth-quarter.
The RBI data indicates that deposits grew 16%, or 7, 18,128.98 crore to 52, 04,702.64 crore as of March 25, 2011, on a year-on-year basis. Of this, more than half of the growth was in the fourth-quarter itself. Spurt in deposits during the last quarter was largely due to attractive rates offered by banks in the last quarter of the fiscal.
