Indian Bank has set a target to recover Rs 55 bn from bad loans in FY27, its managing director and chief executive informed news agencies, noting a first quarter recovery of Rs 18.85 bn.

The Reserve Bank of India withdrew until September thirty the interest rate ceiling on fresh FCNR(B) deposits of three to five years' maturity to attract foreign currency inflows. FCNR(B) inflows had weakened, with net inflows falling to $946 mn in FY26 from seven point one bn in FY25, a trend the bank noted while pursuing its deposit drive. Regulators introduced similar measures during earlier external pressures.

Indian Bank reported robust CASA growth of 15.3 per cent in the first quarter, with CASA rising to Rs 3,195.25 bn from Rs 2,771.16 bn at the end of June 2025. CASA represented 39.73 per cent of total deposits and the bank is working to lift the ratio to forty per cent during the year.
