Public Sector Banks (PSBs) in India are projected to surpass ₹1.5 lakh crore in cumulative profit for the financial year 2024-25, showcasing their robust recovery and improved operational efficiencies. However, challenges around low deposit mobilization and potential margin pressures remain key concerns, according to industry analysts.

PSBs have regained strength through the implementation of the 4Rs framework—Recognition, Recapitalization, Resolution, and Reform—a strategy credited for revitalizing the sector. Over the past three years, PSBs have also bolstered shareholder returns, distributing a total dividend of ₹61,964 crore.

With the possibility of a rate cut in the upcoming Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, credit demand is expected to receive a significant boost. However, analysts caution that the lag in declining deposit rates may compress margins in the near-to-medium term.

“We expect deposit rates to decline with a lag even if the rate cuts were to start from the upcoming MPC meeting, which would hurt margins. We are also closely monitoring asset quality trends and anticipate an uptick in credit costs by FY’26,” said Sachin Sachdeva, Vice President at ICRA.

As PSBs strive to balance profitability with challenges in deposit mobilization and asset quality, their role in driving India’s economic growth remains critical.
