SBI plans to enhance limit under instant loan scheme for MSME sector

To ensure easy and adequate credit availability to the MSME sector, the State Bank of India (SBI) is planning to enhance the threshold under the instant loan scheme from the existing Rs 5 crore. 'MSME Sahaj - End to End Digital Invoice Financing', provides solutions ranging from applying for the loan, documentation and disbursement of the sanctioned loan within 15 minutes, without any manual intervention. "We have, last year, introduced a business rule engine based, data based assessment of the credit limits up to Rs 5 core. Anybody walking into our MSME branch has to give only their PAN and approval for sourcing GST data, we can give approval in 15-45 minutes," SBI Chairman C S Setty told PTI in an interview. Simplification of the MSME credit is something that the bank is emphasising on and making lending cash flow based backed by the CGTMSE guarantee, he said. This reduces the need for collateral, which would enable a lot of people to come into the formal MSME borrowing system, h

SBI plans to introduce innovative products to boost deposit growth: Setty

In a bid to attract depositors, State Bank of India is contemplating to come out with innovative products including a combo product of recurring deposit and SIP, said the bank's chairman C S Setty. With the economy progressing, he said, customers are becoming financially more aware and demanding, and have started looking for innovative investment instruments. Today the customers are looking at the value proposition as financial literacy improves and the concept of asset allocation will gain greater importance, he said. "Obviously, nobody wants to put everything in a risky asset or a speculative asset...banking products will always be part of the basket. So, we are trying to bring products which will appeal to them," he told PTI in an interview. "We are trying to bring innovation in some of the conventional products like recurring deposit, which is actually a conventional SIP...Maybe, we can combine both fixed deposit/recurring deposit and SIP, a combo product that could be digitall

SBI aims to become first financial firm to cross Rs 1 trn profit: Chairman

State Bank of India (SBI) is aiming to become the first Indian financial firm to cross a milestone of Rs 1 lakh crore net profit in the next 3-5 years, chairman of the country's largest lender C S Setty has said. SBI recorded a standalone net profit of Rs 61,077 crore in FY24, registering a growth of 21.59 per cent. "We have potential. Definitely, we would like to be the first company in India to reach that milestone," Setty said when asked if it is possible to cross Rs 1 lakh crore in the next 3-5 years. However, he said, "while profits, market capitalization etc are extremely important elements for our organization, we give equal thrust on customer-centricity and it acts as a fundamental aspect of our operations." With regard to corporate loan demand, Setty said, the bank has already got a Rs 4 lakh crore strong credit pipeline from India Inc and capital expenditure by the private sector is expected to pick up in the second half of the fiscal year. "We see a good amount of inter

SBI has Rs 4 trn credit pipeline, pvt capex to pick up: Chairman C S Setty

SBI Chairman C S Setty has said the bank has already got Rs 4 lakh crore strong credit pipeline from India Inc and expressed hope that capital expenditure by the private sector is expected to pick up in the second half of the fiscal year. "We see a good amount of interest in private capital expenditure. The infrastructure financing, of course, is mainly coming from the roads, renewable energy, and some of the refineries," he told PTI in an interview. As far as public spending is concerned, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Budget proposed to raise the capital expenditure target by 11.1 per cent to record Rs 11.11 lakh crore for 2024-25. This is 3.4 per cent of the country's GDP. Setty said some of the corporates had undertaken brownfield expansion for which the capital expenditure was funded by their own cash accruals and cash balances that they had. However, he said, "We now see some of the corporates drawing the term loans for brownfield expansion too." "We have a pipel
