The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has created a Supervisory Data Quality Index (sDQI) that measures data quality in terms of the Accuracy, Timeliness, Completeness and Consistency in the submission of returns. The objective of sDQI is to assess the adherence to the principles enunciated in the Master Direction on Filing of Supervisory Returns 2024. The sDQI score of Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) has improved in March 2025 as compared to March 2024. | Trends in sDQI Scores of SCBs | | Bank Group | March 2024 | March 2025 | | Accuracy | Completeness | Time liness | Consistency | sDQI Score | Accuracy | Completeness | Time liness | Consistency | sDQI Score | | Scheduled Commercial Banks | 86.1 | 96.2 | 86.8 | 85.0 | 88.6 | 86.7 | 95.8 | 89.1 | 85.7 | 89.3 | | Public Sector Banks | 87.1 | 99.6 | 85.4 | 84.6 | 89.2 | 85.7 | 99.4 | 84.8 | 85.2 | 88.8 | | Private Sector Banks | 85.5 | 99.7 | 85.8 | 84.6 | 88.9 | 87.5 | 98.9 | 86.5 | 85.3 | 89.6 | | Foreign Banks | 86.1 | 92.7 | 86.2 | 85.4 | 87.6 | 86.9 | 92.6 | 90.9 | 85.9 | 89.1 | | Small Finance Banks | 86.6 | 99.6 | 92.8 | 84.9 | 91.0 | 85.8 | 98.9 | 91.5 | 86.1 | 90.6 | The distribution of the Overall sDQI Scores for all SCBs upto the quarter ended March 2025 is given below.
