RBI Measures Expected to Boost Non-Resident Deposits and Bank Deposit Growth in FY27
India's bank deposits grew 13.5% year-on-year to ₹262 trillion in FY26, with a notable shift toward non-household segments, whose share rose to 26.3% from 20.5% in FY19. Household deposits, while still dominant at 59.3%, have declined as savers explore alternative investments. The rest-of-the-world (non-resident) deposit share fell to 6.2% but may increase in FY27 following RBI's removal of interest rate caps on foreign currency non-resident deposits, aiming to boost overseas inflows and support deposit growth amid rising credit demand.
