Total bank credit growth also decelerated to 11.8% in December 2024 from 12.6% in September.
The banking regulator said that all population groups in rural, semi-urban, urban and metropolitan branches of banks maintained double-digit credit growth, though with some moderation. This held true for both public sector and private sector banks.
Credit to agriculture and industry sectors also recorded some tempering in growth while lending for trade, finance and professional/other services accelerated during the third quarter.
About half of the loans provided by banks carried interest rates of 8% to 10% while around 16% of the loans were bearing less than 8% interest rate. The remaining loans were bearing 10% or above interest rate, RBI said.
