Regulatory and Methodological Notes

The Banking Laws (Amendment) Act, 2025 redefined the fortnightly reporting period from alternate Fridays to the 15th and last calendar day of each month, effective 15‑Dec‑2025. All presented data incorporate the impact of the merger of a non‑bank entity with a bank effective 1‑Jul‑2023 (and for money‑stock tables, the merger effective 14‑Jul‑2023).

Overall, the RBI’s weekly statistical release indicates modest growth in deposits and credit, a slight contraction in total reserves, and a continued expansion of the broad money supply, while liquidity management tools remain actively employed through MSF, SDF and variable‑rate repo operations.
