Supervisory Data Quality Index of commercial banks improves in March: RBI
The RBI has created a Supervisory Data Quality Index (sDQI) that measures data quality in terms of the accuracy, timeliness, completeness and consistency in various key financial parameters, including bad loans, asset-liability and capital adequacy.
The index will help the regulator to assess the financial health of commercial banks, including small finance banks.
"The sDQI score of Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) has improved in March 2025 as compared to March 2024," it said.
The sDQI for SCBs covers 87 SCBs and their key returns, including return on asset liability and off-balance sheet exposures, return on asset quality, return on operating results, risk-based supervision return (RBS), and liquidity return.
The entity-level sDQI score is arrived at by aggregating the scores for Accuracy, Completeness, Timeliness and Consistency. The scores are computed for the bank group - Public Sector Banks, Private Sector Banks, Foreign Banks and Small Finance Banks - and for peer groups.

India's forex reserves surge by $4.75 bn to scale $693.6 bn mark
Mumbai: India's foreign exchange reserves surged by $4.75 billion to $693.62 billion for the week ended August 8, data released by the RBI on Friday showed. A strengthening of the country's foreign exchange kitty reflects a strengthening of the country's macroeconomic fundamentals and gives the RBI more headroom to strengthen the rupee vis-a-vis the US dollar. A strong forex kitty enables the RBI to intervene in the spot and forward currency markets by releasing more dollars to prevent the rupee from going into a free fall and curbing its volatility. For the week ending on Aug 8, foreign currency assets, a major component of the reserves, increased by $2.84 billion to $583.98 billion. Expressed in dollar terms, the foreign currency assets include the effect of appreciation or depreciation of non-US units like the euro, pound and yen held in the foreign exchange reserves. The gold component of the forex reserves increased by $2.16 billion to $86.16 billion during the week. Central banks worldwide are increasingly accumulating gold as a safe-haven asset in their foreign exchange reserves amid uncertainty created by geopolitical tensions. The share of gold maintained by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as part of its foreign exchange reserves has almost doubled since 2021. The special drawing rights in the forex kitty stood at $18.74 billion. India's foreign exchange reserves are sufficient to fund more than 11 months of goods imports and about 96 per cent of external debt outstanding, RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra said recently. The RBI Governor said, 'Overall, India's external sector remains resilient as key external sector vulnerability indicators continue to improve. We remain confident of meeting our external financing requirements.' Meanwhile, India's merchandise exports registered a 7.29 per cent increase to $37.24 billion in July this year, compared with the corresponding figure of $34.71 billion in the same month last year, according to official data released on Thursday. This shows a strengthening of the external sector. "Despite an uncertain global policy environment, India's services and merchandise exports in July and in FY26 so far have grown substantially, and are much higher than the global exports growth, Commerce Secretary Sunil Barthwal said. Major drivers of goods exports in July were engineering goods, electronics goods, drugs and pharma, organic and inorganic chemicals, gems and jewellery,' he pointed out.
