A Comparative Study of Liquidity Management of Selected Public Sector Banks and Private Sector Banks in India

The services your bank provides to its business clients—known as liquidity management—enable them to take advantage of the interest on their checking and current accounts and pool money from several accounts. As a result, your corporate clients may effectively manage the daily liquidity of their companies. The paper compares and contrasts the liquidity management strategies of a few Indian banks from the public and private sectors. Five public sector banks—Punjab National Bank, Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Union Bank of India, and State Bank India—and five private sector banks—ICICI, HDFC, AXIS, IDBI, and Kotak Mahindra Bank—have been taken for consideration during the 5-year period between 2018–19 and 2022–2023. Comparisons of the liquidity management of public and private sector banks have been made using the Cash-Deposit Ratio (CDR), Investment-Deposit Ratio (IDR), and Credit-Deposit Ratio (CRDR).
