CHANDIGARH, Nov 10 — Haryana’s banking sector continued its robust performance this financial year, with the Credit-Deposit ratio climbing to 89% and overall advances touching ₹7.69 lakh crore, officials revealed at the State Level Bankers’ Committee meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi.
Calling for faster credit flow to farmers, Rastogi directed banks to close the gap between loan sanctions and disbursement. “Policies must reflect the urgency of delivering timely financial assistance to rural and weaker sections,” he said.
Total deposits in Haryana reached ₹8.68 lakh crore as of September 2025, reflecting a 12.48% rise from last year. The state also recorded 121% achievement under Priority Sector Lending, with strong growth in MSME credit (145% of target) and 99% achievement in agriculture loans.
Rastogi instructed banks to compile details of unclaimed government deposits and submit them to the Finance Department. He also lauded the success of financial awareness drives that reactivated 825 dormant accounts and returned ₹2.87 crore to citizens.
The review meeting covered key schemes such as PM Vishwakarma, PM SVANidhi 2.0, and PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana — which has received over 34,000 applications in Haryana.
With 97% of accounts now digitised, 18 banks have achieved complete digital coverage. Haryana’s banking network has expanded to 5,582 branches, marking a net addition of 230 this year.
Senior officials including Finance Secretary Mohammed Shayin, RBI GM Pankaj Setia, NABARD’s Nivedita Tiwari and SLBC Convener Lalit Taneja attended the meeting.
