Public Sector Banks Raise Term Deposit Rates to Regain Market Share
Public sector banks (PSBs) in India are raising term deposit rates to regain deposit market share lost over the past decade, as Reserve Bank of India data shows their share declined from 76% in 2013-14 to 57% in March 2024. This contrasts with private banks, which have lowered rates while increasing their deposit share. Experts note PSBs prioritize liabilities to compete amid credit growth outpacing deposit mobilization, accepting short-term margin impacts to strengthen their franchise.
