Indian Banks' Low-Cost Deposit Share Falls as Overall Deposits Grow in Q2 FY27
Indian banks saw a decline in low-cost deposits, with the CASA ratio falling to 34.4% in Q2 FY27 from 35.6% in Q1, driven by strong inflows into Foreign Currency Non-Resident (Bank) or FCNR(B) deposits. Despite this, total deposits grew 16% year-on-year, mainly supported by a 19.2% rise in term deposits and a 13.2% increase in current account deposits. Liquidity conditions tightened, leading banks to issue more certificates of deposit, reaching about Rs 1 trillion in October 2026.
