Banks are gearing up for an upstick in business this festive season. While major-state owned banks have started promoting their schemes, private banks are on their way to announce any offers. During the festive seasons, banks see a major jump in business especially in retail segment – housing loans, vehicle loans, personal loans.
According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) data, retail credit expanded by an average of more than 13 per cent during September-December 2021; around 20 per cent during the same three-month period of 2022; and over 18 per mit during September-December of 2023.
Flagging this high growth in certain components of consumer credit, the RBI in November last year increased the risk weightings for consumer credit, including personal loans but excluding home loans, education loans, vehicle loans, and gold loans, by 25bps to125 per cent. This move led to a majority of banks calibrating growth in their unsecured portfolios.
