The Reserve Bank’s annual publication, Statistical Tables Relating to Banks in India, provides key
information on banks. It covers bank-wise and bank group-wise information on major items such as liabilities
and assets, income and expenditure, non-performing assets, financial ratios, spatial distribution of offices,
number of employees and details of priority sector advances. It also provides bank group-wise monthly data
on some of the major items such as aggregate deposits, 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 66th volume of the publication by the Reserve Bank of India and would be the 91st volume
in the series if we count the volumes brought out by the then Department of Statistics, Government of India.
This volume has been brought out under the guidance of Shri A. B. Chakraborty, Officer In-Charge and
Shri V. Bahuguna, Adviser, DSIM.
The staff team for this publication was headed by Dr. A. R. Joshi, Director, with able support
from Dr. N. K. Unnikrishnan, Assistant Adviser, Shri Bhaskar Birajdar, Research Officer and
Smt. Shobha A. Parab, Assistant Manager. They were assisted by Shri Amit Kumar, Shri A. N. Patel,
Shri A. Thomas, 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 ware house team in creating
‘camera-ready’ material used in the publication. Data ware house team is headed by Shri N. Senthil Kumar,
Director, with assistance from Shri J. Navas, Assistant Adviser, and Shri Nanu Ram Meena,
Research Officer.
I hope the current volume as a valuable source of information on Indian banks will be of immense
use to researchers, analysts, policy makers and bankers.
