Yes Bank on Wednesday said it has reported a credit growth of 11.3 per cent at Rs 2.01 lakh crore for the March 2023 quarter.

The lender registered a 12.9 per cent growth in deposits excluding Certificate of Deposits (CDs). Another private sector lender Karnataka Bank posted a 6.1 per cent increase in total loans to Rs 61,326 crore, while deposits grew by 8.69 per cent to Rs 87,362 crore.
