SBI bets on digital tools and tie-ups to sustain market leadership
"By embracing digital tools, strategic partnerships, and data-driven growth, we aim to sustain market leadership and deliver scalable, profitable, and inclusive banking for a dynamic India," Setty said.
The state-owned bank is streamlining operations, enhancing customer experience, and strengthening its people to build a future-ready organisation, Setty added.
SBI celebrated its 70th anniversary on Tuesday with a slew of initiatives, including a quiz contest and some digital initiatives, as per an official statement.
The next phase of innovation would include expansion of its digital app YONO to Singapore and also a revamp of the YONO business, it added.
Over 4,200 students participated in the SBI Scholar Quiz, in which the lender distributed Rs 50 lakh in prize money and certificates to the participants.
This included Rs 5 lakh for the winner, Rs 3 lakh for the second place and Rs 2.5 lakh for the third place, the statement said.
Setty presented the awards to the winners from Delhi Public School, Kolkata; Army Public School, Hyderabad, and DAV Public School, Bhubaneswar.
"Investing in educational initiatives like the SBI Scholar Quiz goes beyond nurturing bright minds, it's about laying the foundation for an informed and empowered future," Setty said.
SBI has also launched initiatives for individuals and entrepreneurs by enabling faster paperless on-boarding through tab-based account opening, while making digital credit access easier for small businesses.
It has enabled Digital Document Execution (DDE) for PM Vishwakarma and Agriculture Loans application and documentation for farmers and artisans, improving turnaround time and reach, the statement said.
Besides, the bank has enabled instant savings and minor account openings at service points using secure e-KYC, and introduced UPI (QR) based cash withdrawal machines for safer access to funds in remote areas, among other initiatives.

Rs 437 crore tax collection: For crypto traders, evading income tax is getting difficult as Tax Dept uses AI, data analytics tools
ET Online Crypto tax In India, avoiding taxes on bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and other virtual digital assets is becoming increasingly difficult. The Income Tax Department is increasing its efforts to monitor transactions related to the virtual digital assets (VDAs) made by individuals. This is being done through the use of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and other data analytics tools. According to the government's reply in the Parliament, the government has collected Rs 437 crore in taxes for FY 2022-23 from VDA-related income. The government implemented income tax rules for crypto and other VDAs from FY 2022- 23. In FY 2022-23, the government collected Rs 269.09 crore in taxes from VDA income.

The Central Board of Direct Taxes has initiated the NUDGE (Non-Intrusive Use of Data to Guide and Enable) campaign to identify such discrepancies for further action. Under NUDGE campaign suitable communications, to review and update their income tax returns, were issued to all taxpayers who did not report VDA-related transactions in their income tax returns, despite tax being deducted at source for such transactions by VASPs, where the quantum of such discrepancy was more than Rs 1 lakh.
