Both the Finance Minister and RBI Governor have expressed concern over the slow pace of deposit growth as compared to credit growth.
RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das had flagged concerns over household savings moving towards alternative investment avenues and asked banks to mobilise deposits through innovative products and services by leveraging their vast branch network.
"Banks are taking greater recourse to short-term non-retail deposits and other instruments of liability to meet the incremental credit demand. This, as I emphasised elsewhere, may potentially expose the banking system to structural liquidity issues," he had said earlier this month.
On Monday, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman while chairing review meeting with heads of public sector banks had asked them to make concerted efforts to garner deposits by conducting special drives.
Deposits have been growing 300-400 basis points lower than the credit growth in the last few months, creating an asset-liability mismatch for banks.
