HDFC Bank reported a 14.1% YoY rise in deposits to Rs.27.15 trillion, while advances grew modestly by 5.4% YoY to Rs.26.44 trillion in Q4 FY25. Retail and commercial banking segments showed notable growth despite the cautious lending approach.
HDFC Bank, India’s largest private sector lender, reported robust deposit growth in its Q4 FY25 update, with period-end deposits rising 14.1% year-on-year and 5.9% sequentially to Rs.27.15 trillion. However, loan growth remained modest, with gross advances increasing just 5.4% year-on-year and 4% sequentially to Rs.26.44 trillion. The bank is strategically moderating loan expansion to manage its elevated credit–deposit ratio, which spiked following the merger with HDFC Ltd.
During the quarter, the bank securitised loans worth Rs.10,700 crore, contributing to the Rs.57,000 crore total for FY25. Its average deposits rose 15.9% YoY and 3.1% sequentially, reaching Rs.25.28 trillion, indicating strong deposit traction across customer segments.

Despite the overall modest advance growth, retail loans increased by 9% year-on-year, and the commercial and rural banking (CRB) portfolio rose 14% YoY, highlighting stronger traction in consumer and rural lending. Corporate advances remained relatively flat, aligning with the bank’s approach to reduce concentration risk and focus on more granular credit portfolios.
The steady growth in retail and CRB segments supports the bank’s focus on building a balanced and diversified loan book while gradually easing its credit–deposit ratio back to pre-merger levels.
Current account savings account (CASA) deposits increased 5.7% year-on-year and 1.4% sequentially, totalling Rs.8.29 trillion. The rise in CASA indicates sustained customer confidence and improved liability management, which is vital for funding future credit growth as the bank prepares to align with industry lending norms by FY26 and outpace them by FY27.
