Goa SCB & NABARD jointly push PSL

NABARD and Goa SCB are strengthening cooperative banking in the state during difficult times:

- 

Goa has total bank deposits of ₹847.15 billion as on31 March 2020, which is a marginal growth of ₹118.66 billion over the previous year. Advances increased by ₹17.88 billion to aggregate ₹239.85 billion. According to Ulhas B. Phaldesai, Chairman, Goa State Cooperative Bank, the overall CD ratio continues to be low at 28.31%, which is well below the benchmark level.

The restrictions imposed by the RBI on PMC Bank, Yes Bank and 2 major UCBs in the state have resulted in rumours spreading in the market and Phaldesai believes that this has affected the business growth of the cooperative banks to some extent during the financial year under review.
