The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has given important information, according to which money is the safest among the three banks of the country including State Bank of India (SBI). RBI is confident that these are three such banks which can never sink. RBI says that these three banks including SBI remain important for the country and a good amount of money of the people of the country is deposited in them. These banks are also the largest banks at the level of financial system.
The Central Bank has informed that like last year, ICICI Bank has emerged as a good bank this year too. SBI and HDFC banks also remain in the high category. RBI has divided all the banks into a total of four categories, in which ICICI, HDFC and SBI are included in the list of best banks. Their financial position is not only better than all the banks but is also quite strong. In such a situation, these banks can never come into a state of collapse.
Category of banks changed
SBI has gone from category 3 to 4 and HDFC Bank from 1 to 2. RBI has shifted SBI and HDFC Bank to the upper bucket in the list of Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs). Due to the upward shift in the bucket, both banks will have to hold more Tier 1 capital. These banks will have to maintain more than Tier 1 capital by April 1, 2025.
