Personal Loans

The share of industrial loans in total credit has been gradually declining over the last decade while that of personal loans is on the rise, the Reserve Bank said on Wednesday. Both industrial and personal loans had nearly 27 per cent credit share each in March 2022, as per the 'Basic Statistical Return on Credit by Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) in India March 2022' released by the RBI. Meanwhile, loans to the industrial sector recorded 4.7 per cent growth in 2021-22 after witnessing a decline in the previous year. Earlier this month, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman nudged the corporate sector to increase investment in the manufacturing sector. The RBI further said as credit demand from the retail segment has become more distinct in recent years, the portion of small-sized loans is also going up steadily. The share of loans up to Rs one crore has surged to nearly 48 per cent in March 2022 from around 39 per cent five years ago, whereas the share of loans above Rs 10 crore

Repo is the rate at which RBI lends to banks for their short-term borrowing needs. In its June 8 second bi-monthly monetary policy meeting review for FY23, RBI raised the benchmark repo rate by 50 basis points to 4.90 per cent with immediate effect.
