March 2025 Rankings Drop: Which Banks Are Winning RBI’s Trust?

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has released its Supervisory Data Quality Index (SDQI) of Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) up to March 2025, which captures the quality of bank reporting of critical regulatory data. SDQI scores banks on the basis of timeliness, completeness, and accuracy of data submission—pillars of effective supervision and policy making.

 

Key Highlights:

The RBI stressed that reliable data is not just a compliance necessity but a strategic tool in systemic risk management. Banks that have consistently low scores can expect increased supervision or supervisory action.

 

This quarterly index is part of RBI's broader strategy of dataled regulation, especially with digital banking and fintech partnerships making financial activity more complicated.
