Central Bank of India business grew 20.55% year-on-year to Rs 8,89,621 crore as of September 30, 2026, according to its October 5 BSE filing on provisional business figures for Q2 FY 2026-27. The bank reported faster growth in gross advances than deposits, alongside a lower reported CASA ratio.

Total global business stood at Rs 7,37,938 crore a year earlier and Rs 8,12,439 crore at March 31, 2026. The September figures cover the bank’s provisional business position at the end of the second quarter.

Global gross advances reached Rs 3,81,035 crore, up 29.83% from Rs 2,93,488 crore in September 2025. Advances also exceeded the audited March 2026 figure of Rs 3,44,516 crore. The reported annual advances growth rate was higher than both deposit growth and overall business growth.

Deposits rise, while CASA share declines

Total deposits increased 14.43% year-on-year to Rs 5,08,586 crore, compared with Rs 4,44,450 crore at September 30, 2025. The corresponding audited figure at March 31, 2026, was Rs 4,67,923 crore.

Current account and savings account (CASA) deposits rose 9.21% to Rs 2,26,747 crore from Rs 2,07,616 crore a year earlier. They also increased from Rs 2,20,781 crore at the end of March 2026.

Despite the increase in CASA deposits, the bank reported a CASA ratio of 44.70%, down 213 basis points year-on-year. The ratio was 46.83% in September 2025 and 47.30% in March 2026. CASA deposit growth therefore trailed total deposit growth over the annual comparison period, while the reported CASA share was below both comparison dates.

Overseas advances and reporting status

The filing separately listed overseas IBU advances of Rs 8,093 crore at September 30, 2026. It provided no corresponding figures for September 2025 or March 2026 and no year-on-year growth rate for this line item.

The bank specified that the September 2026 figures are provisional and subject to audit by its Statutory Central Auditors. The September 2025 comparatives were reviewed, while the March 2026 figures were audited.

The disclosure was addressed to BSE and the National Stock Exchange, where the bank’s identifiers are 532885 and CENTRALBK, respectively.
