Significant drop in Credit growth of banks, as of June 13, 9.6% Vs 19.1% (YoY): SBI Report
New Delhi [India], June 30 (ANI): The credit growth of Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) has moderated to 9.6 per cent as on 13 June 2025, a sharp decline from 19.1 per cent recorded a year ago, according to a recent report by the State Bank of India (SBI).
The slowdown is attributed to weaker momentum and unfavourable base effects.
The report stated that, excluding the merger impact of HDFC with HDFC Bank (effective from 13 July 2023), the adjusted credit growth stands at 10.6 per cent as on 13 June 2025, compared to 15.5 per cent a year ago.
It stated 'SCBs credit growth moderated to 9.6 per cent, as on 13 June 2025 (19.1 per cent a year ago;)
As per SBI's analysis, the total credit increased by Rs 70,005 crore (0.4 per cent YTD) till 13 June 2025. This is significantly lower as compared to the credit growth of Rs 2.74 lakh crore (1.7 per cent YTD) during the same period last year.
After three consecutive years of robust credit growth between FY21 and FY24, credit momentum began to slow from June 2024, eventually settling at 11.1 per cent in FY25.
The report also highlighted that bank-group-wise data showed a key shift; the private banks saw a sharp slowdown, while public sector banks (PSBs) maintained relatively stable growth.
SBI report said 'The bank-group wise contribution to SCB growth indicates that private banks' growth slowed down significantly compared to PSBs'.
PSBs recorded a credit growth of 12.2 per cent in FY25, compared to 13.6 per cent in FY24. In contrast, credit growth of private sector banks declined to 9.5 per cent in FY25, marking the lowest level since FY21.
The report also pointed out changes in the sectoral composition of credit growth. The share of the industry sector in incremental credit rose to 17 per cent in FY25 from 11 per cent in FY24.
A major positive trend came from the MSME sector, which saw a 17.8 per cent year-on-year increase in credit. The improvement is driven by better balance sheet quality and reduced delinquencies.
SBI credit to MSMEs showed a strong growth because of multiple factors, including. formalization through UDYAM registration number seeding, enhanced guarantee cover provided under government schemes, changes in the definition of MSMEs, and a reduction in turnover thresholds for mandatory onboarding on the TReDS platform.
Overall, the SBI report highlighted a visible shift in credit trends, with public sector banks gaining ground and the MSME sector emerging as a key driver for credit growth in FY25. (ANI)

India's GST Collection Hits Record Rs 22.08 Lakh Crore In FY25, Rises 9.4%
New Delhi: India's Goods and Services Tax (GST) collection for the financial year 2024–25 touched a record high of Rs 22.08 lakh crore, marking a 9.4 per cent increase compared with the previous year, the government announced on Monday. The average monthly collection for the year stood at Rs 1.84 lakh crore. The government highlighted that GST revenues have more than doubled in just five years. In 2020–21, the total collection was Rs 11.37 lakh crore, with an average monthly figure of Rs 95,000 crore. This steady rise in revenue points to stronger tax compliance and consistent economic growth. The trend of rising GST collection has continued month after month. In May 2025 alone, the gross GST collection rose by 16.4 per cent to over Rs 2.01 lakh crore. This increase was driven by both domestic transactions and imports. Domestic revenues grew by 13.7 per cent to Rs 1.50 lakh crore, while import-related GST rose sharply by 25.2 per cent to Rs 51,266 crore. In terms of tax breakup for May, the central GST stood at Rs 35,434 crore and the state GST at Rs 43,902 crore. The Integrated GST (IGST), which is shared between the Centre and states, amounted to Rs 1.09 lakh crore. As of April 30, there are over 1.51 crore active GST registrations in India. These include more than 1.32 crore normal taxpayers, around 14.86 lakh composition taxpayers, and 3.71 lakh taxpayers registered under Tax Deducted at Source (TDS). India is also preparing to mark a major milestone on July 1 as the country celebrates eight years since the launch of the GST regime. Introduced in 2017, GST has become one of the most important tax reforms in India's history, replacing multiple indirect taxes with a unified structure.
