Controlling Offices of banks including SFBs, WOS of Foreign Banks and Head Office of RRBs and DCCBs / LDBs shall circulate the accepted block-wise / activity- wise potential to all their branches for preparing the BCP by their respective branch managers. Banks shall ensure that the exercise of preparation of branch / block plans is completed in time by all branches. v.

The LDM and DDM should guide the BLBC in finalizing the plan, ensuring that the Block Credit Plan is in tune with the potential identified activity-wise, including in respect of Government Sponsored Schemes. vi. All the Block Credit Plans of the district shall be aggregated by the LDM to form the District Credit Plan (DCP), covering an analytical assessment of the credit needs of the district, to be deployed by all financial institutions operating in the district in the next financial year. While finalizing credit plans for the block / district level, LDMs shall factor in the record of achievement of these credit plans for previous years, in addition to the PLP. In case complete data of previous year’s achievement of the plan is not available, data pertaining to the corresponding period of the past years may be considered. The objective should be to ensure that the credit plans are aspirational as well as realistic. vii. The Zonal / Controlling Offices of banks, while finalizing their business plans for the year, should account for the estimates made in the DCP as they are typically compiled well in time before the performance budgets of banks are finalized. viii. The DCP shall then be placed before the DCC by the LDM for final acceptance / approval. All the DCPs should be eventually aggregated into a State Level Annual Credit Plan (ACP) to be prepared by the SLBC Convenor Bank and launched by the 1st of April every year. ix.

The procedure of data reporting is given in Annex 8A. A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to be followed by SLBC / UTLBC Convenor Banks, member banks and LDMs for management of data flow is given in Annex 8B. iii. Based on the data reported, bank group wise statements should be prepared on quarterly basis and placed in all DCC and SLBC meetings for review. iv. Discussions in SLBC, DCC and BLBC should focus on the performance of banks in disbursement of loans vis-a-vis the targets allocated under the ACP. 11 Credit Deposit Ratio (CD Ratio) 11.1 Monitoring CD Ratio i. As the CD Ratio is an important parameter of credit disbursed in relation to deposits mobilised in the area, it should be monitored at different levels, based on the following parameters: Institution / Level Indicator Individual Banks at Head Office Cu + RIDF State Level (SLBC) Cu + RIDF District Level Cs# Where: Cu = Credit as per place of Utilization Cs# = Credit as per place of Sanction RIDF = Total Resource support provided to States under RIDF # In case credit proposals are received at district level but processed and sanctioned at the bank’s head office / controlling offices / central processing units, and the loan is 17utilised / disbursed in districts through their branches, these are treated as loans sanctioned and utilised at district level. Hence, they may be reckoned at district level for computing the CD ratio. ii. CD ratio is to be calculated on the basis of credit amount outstanding. 11.2 Bank level monitoring Banks are required to achieve a CD Ratio of 60 percent in respect of their rural and semi-urban branches, taken together on an All-India basis. While it is not necessary that this ratio should be achieved separately, branch-wise, district-wise or region-wise, banks should, nevertheless, ensure that wide disparity in the ratios between different states / regions is avoided to minimise regional imbalance in credit deployment. Credit dispensation in certain districts is very low due to factors, such as lack of necessary infrastructure, varying ability of different regions to absorb credit, etc. Banks may review the performance of their branches in such areas and take necessary steps to augment credit flow. The factors affecting credit flow in the district may be discussed thoroughly in the DCC forum. 11.3 District and State level monitoring i. Districts having CD Ratio between 40 and 60 percent shall be monitored by the DCC for improving the performance. ii. In districts having CD Ratio less than 40 percent as well as ACP achievement less than 100% for the preceding financial year, Special Sub-Committees (SSCs) of the DCC, with LDM as Convenor shall be set up to monitor the CD Ratio. iii. The SSC shall comprise of the DCOs of banks functioning in the area, LDO, DDM, District Planning Officer, or a representative of the DC / DM duly empowered to take decisions on behalf of the district administration. iv. The SSC shall draw up a Monitorable Action Plan (MAP) for improving the CD Ratio, with the approval of the DCC. The progress in the implementation of the MAP should be monitored in the DCC meetings. 18v. Districts with CD Ratio less than 20 percent shall be placed in a special category. For these districts, in addition to constitution of SSC and MAP, the State Government would be required to make targeted efforts to create necessary infrastructure and conditions conducive to lending by the banks, while banks shall be responsible for improving credit disbursement. vi. The progress in the special category districts shall be monitored by DCC and reported to corporate offices of banks present in the district, to enable Head Offices of banks to accord special attention to improving the CD ratio in such districts. vii. A consolidated status report from all SSCs of the State shall be tabled at SLBC meetings for discussion / information. 12. Other guidelines on lending The Service Area Approach (SAA) was introduced in April 1989 for planned and orderly development of rural and semi-urban areas by increasing productive lending and forging effective linkages between bank credit, productivity, and enhanced income levels. i. Under Service Area Approach SAA, each bank branch in a rural or semi-urban area is designated to serve an area of 15 to 25 villages and the branch is responsible for meeting the needs of bank credit of its service area. To ensure adequate coverage of rural and semi-urban areas under Government Sponsored Schemes, bank branches in these areas shall follow the SAA for lending under such schemes. While it is obligatory for bank branches to serve the eligible customers falling in their service area, they are free to lend under such schemes outside their service area also. ii. Banks shall dispense with the practice of obtaining a ‘No Due Certificate’ from individual borrowers (including SHGs and JLGs) for all types of loans, including loans under Government Sponsored Schemes, irrespective of the amount involved, unless the scheme itself provides for obtention of a ‘No Due Certificate’. iii. For ease of access to credit in rural and semi-urban areas, banks may use an alternative framework of due diligence which could, among others, consist of one or more of the following: 19a) Credit history check through Credit Information Companies (CICs) b) Self-declaration or an affidavit from the borrower c) CERSAI registration d) Peer monitoring e) Information sharing among lenders f) Information search (including writing to other lenders with an auto deadline) 13. Banking Penetration i. SLBC Convenor Banks are required to identify all unbanked rural centres (URCs) in the State1 and maintain an updated list of all such centres. The updated list should be displayed on the website of each SLBC to facilitate banks to choose / indicate the place / centre where they wish to open a ‘banking outlet’. ii. In order to comply with the criteria of opening at least 25 percent of total banking outlets in URCs in Tier 5 and 6 centres2, banks should give priority to villages without a banking outlet having population more than 5000 (i.e., Tier 5 centres) and ensure that all such villages under their jurisdiction are covered with a CBS-enabled Banking Outlet on priority basis. iii. As regards Tier-6 centres, SLBC / UTLBC Convenor banks shall monitor coverage of these URCs and advise lead banks to review the progress in the coverage of such centres in DCC meetings. Convenor banks should also advise member banks to update the information on RBI’s CISBI portal as and when banking outlets are opened in URCs. iv. The updated list of URCs should be tabled in all SLBC meetings during discussions on the progress in providing banking services in URCs. v. SLBCs / UTLBCs shall put in place an action plan to achieve the goals identified under the National Strategy for Financial Inclusion (NSFI): 2025-303 during the period of the strategy, with suitable mid-term goals, and monitor progress on an on-going basis. 1 ‘Reserve Bank of India (Commercial Banks - Branch Authorisation) Directions 2025’] 2 As above 3 National Strategy for Financial Inclusion (NSFI): 2025-30 released by RBI on December 01, 2025, available at https://www.rbi.org.in/Scripts/PublicationReportDetails.aspx?UrlPage=&ID=1307#F15 2014. Expanding and Deepening of Digital Payments Ecosystem (EDDPE) The objective of the programme is to enable every individual in the identified districts to make / receive payments digitally in a safe, secure, quick, affordable, and convenient manner. SLBCs / UTLBCs shall cover all districts of the state fully under the programme, decide the timeline by which this will be done and ensure that the milestones are achieved as planned through close monitoring of progress. 15. Capacity Building and Sensitization Programmes i. Regional Offices of RBI, in co-ordination with SLBC Convenor Bank, shall endeavour to sensitize the DCs / DMs and CEOs of Zilla Parishads on banking matters and on the specific scope and role of the LBS. Such exposure may also be provided to staff at the operational level of government departments associated with implementation of the LBS, such as BDOs, etc. through State Administrative Academies or similar institutions. ii. Bank officials should be exposed to similar training programmes by the respective Lead Banks. iii. Regional Offices of RBI shall conduct capacity building programmes for LDOs, LDMs and DDMs on an annual basis. 16. SLBC Website Standardisation of Information SLBC Convenor Banks are required to maintain the SLBC website where all instructions on LBS and Government Sponsored Schemes, profile of the State / UT, State-wise data / bank-wise performance, information on the conduct of meetings etc. are made available to the public. The indicative list of such information / data is given in Annex 9. SLBCs may put out any additional information considered relevant for the State. The SLBC website should be updated regularly, at least on quarterly basis. ____________ 21Annex 1 List of State/ UT-wise SLBC/ UTLBC Convenor Banks and district-wise Lead Banks as on February 13, 2026 Sr. State / Union SLBC/UTLBC District District Lead Bank No. Territory Convenor bank 1 Andhra Union Bank of India 1.

Each bank’s CBS should have a provision to export all LBS-related data and tables into an Excel report. This data should have information pertaining to all the branches operating in the state including fields/ columns for District and Block name. Access to Download and Export this data from the bank’s CBS should be given to the Controlling Offices of the banks who would be solely responsible for the process of ‘Data Feeding’ for all districts/ blocks within their jurisdiction. ii. The ‘Data Feeding’ process is the process of uploading this Excel file (downloaded in step (i) above) on the SLBC portals. SLBC portals should have a provision to ‘Import/ Upload’ all the data present in the Excel Sheet on the database of the SLBC portals. This would obviate any manual ‘data entry’ at the SLBC/ Controlling Office level. iii. To facilitate the above functionality, each SLBC Convenor Bank would have to add this ‘Import/ Upload’ functionality to their SLBC portal along with the requisite capabilities at the back-end. iv. The SLBC portal would, thus, effectively work as a data aggregation platform. Further, data analysis capabilities could also be added to the SLBC portals depending on the available resources. v. The SLBC portals should provide access to LDMs to download district and block specific data directly from the portal, thus ensuring integrity and timely availability of data. vi. There could still be some data pertaining to State Government Schemes/ other data that is not available on the CBS or MIS of the banks. This would have to be collated at the Controlling Office level. On the SLBC portal, functionalities could be provided to enter this data too. This could then be downloaded by the LDMs for district/ block level reports. Banks may also add Open Format fields like ‘text boxes’ for data or information that is special or is entered/ used occasionally. 1vii. Such a system ensures that LDMs and SLBC Convenor Banks have to do zero or minimal data entry/ feeding and all data is entered by a single ‘custodian of data’, which is the Controlling Office of each bank. Any information to be provided by Government extension agencies could also be similarly uploaded. 2Annex-8-B Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Data Flow at LBS Fora i) Head Office (HO) of each bank shall generate the report pertaining to LBS related data and data available on CBS/ MIS, in the prescribed format, which includes district and block names and codes, on quarterly basis. ii) HO of each bank shall provide the district and block level report in the prescribed format to state level controlling offices of the bank. iii) Each SLBC shall ensure that their data feeding web portal has a provision for upload of data by controlling offices of each bank in the prescribed format. iv) Each bank’s designated controlling office shall upload the data in SLBC portal by 15th of succeeding month, after the end of the quarter. v) Data pertaining to State Government/ other data (which are not available on CBS or MIS of the bank) would be collated and uploaded by the controlling office/ Lead District Manager (LDM), on the SLBC web portal by 20th of succeeding month of the end of the quarter. vi) The SLBC Convenor bank should provide the LDMs, access to the SLBC web portal to enable them to download the block-wise data of their respective districts. vii) SLBC Convenor bank should provide access to the SLBC web portal to the designated controlling offices of banks in the state to enable them to download the data to verify correctness.
