State Banks Anticipate Credit Growth Amid Margin Pressures; Deposit Rates Rise
State-run banks, including Punjab National Bank and Canara Bank, expect steady credit growth of 11-15% in the second half of FY27 despite margin pressures from rising deposit costs and competition. Meanwhile, Bank of India and Suryoday Small Finance Bank have raised fixed deposit interest rates following the Reserve Bank of India's monetary tightening. These moves aim to attract deposits amid changing savings patterns and higher funding costs, with special schemes offering increased returns for senior citizens and large depositors.
