What the file holds

Every line of the Section 42 return of scheduled commercial banks, every reporting fortnight since 1997, as the Bulletin prints it (also report 741).

RBI DBIE report 42 (data provider DP1), read from the local Data Bank mirror, as published. Final figures where published, else provisional. Amounts in ₹ crore. Left out as printed in the wrong unit (Borrowings from Reserve Bank on 2005-11-11).

Revisions: Section 42 figures are provisional, then final; sectoral credit is provisional and revised the next month; NPAs and capital ratios are final on release. Seams disclosed, never joined: the 2019 sectoral classification, the July 2023 HDFC merger, the December 2025 reporting calendar.

Missing values are left empty, never zero. Every series with its latest value and trend, in the guide to bank credit and money.
