Odisha removes HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank as authorised banks for govt businesses
Odisha government issued an official directive removing HDFC Bank , ICICI Bank , and Axis Bank from the list of empanelled banks authorised to handle the business and deposits of the State Government and its supported organisations. The letter reviewed by ET said that their action on banks is due to 'persisting poor performance' in some flagship government schemes over the last two financial years. The letter signed by the Principal Secretary to the Government, Saswata Mishra, stated the decision was also due to 'discouraging general banking parameters' by these three banks without elaborating it further. The letter also stated that if the performance of these three banks improves during the current financial year, the state government may consider including them in the list of empanelled banks. ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and Axis Bank did not respond to requests for comments. Odisha's share of total deposits is Rs 5.64 lakh crore or 2.4% as on March 31, 2025. 'This will not impact the banks' performance given the small share of the state in total deposits although it may affect their reputation if it is not mended soon,' said an analyst. The state government also warned that other poorly performing banks could face a similar fate. 'Depending on performance (achievement in flagship government schemes and general banking performance parameters such as CDR, ACP achievement, etc.), poorly performing banks shall be removed from the empanelled list of banks and well-performing banks will be added to the empanelled list.' CDR stands for credit deposit ratio and ACP is an annual credit plan. The state government's letter dated June 21 stated that State Government departments, directorates, heads of departments, establishments, agencies, PSUs, societies, universities, and other affiliated organisations must immediately close their savings, current, and other running accounts with these three banks and transfer the balances to other empanelled banks. The letter stated that term deposits currently held in these banks should not be prematurely closed to avoid loss of interest. Upon maturity, these deposits must be transferred to other empanelled banks. Banks in Odisha state attracted term deposits of Rs 3.21 lakh crore as of March 31, 2025, according to data published by the RBI. While this is lower than Kerala (Rs 3.48 lakh crore), it is higher than Andhra Pradesh (Rs 2.44 lakh crore).

After backlash, Bangalore Development Authority rolls back hike on initial deposit for flats & villas
Bengaluru: Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has rolled back its earlier decision to hike the initial deposit amount required for purchasing its residential units. The revised rates are now in line with what was charged before May 1, 2025. The decision comes in the wake of sustained complaints from the public, who found the increased deposit requirement unaffordable and a barrier to accessing home loans. The initial deposit — collected at the time of booking flats, sites, or villas developed by BDA — was doubled earlier this year, citing high demand. However, the move drew sharp criticism and led to a visible drop in bookings. Until recently, general category applicants were required to pay 25% of the property's total cost upfront, while SC/ST community members were charged 10%. With the latest revision, general category buyers will have to pay 12.5% as initial deposit, while SC/ST applicants will pay 5%, returning to the pre-May 1 rates. "There was a sharp decline in online bookings after the rates were increased. Many prospective buyers found it difficult to arrange such large sums on short notice, especially when bank loans can only be accessed after the initial payment is made. We've now restored the earlier rates based on public feedback," said a senior BDA official. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The official added that flats and houses remain in high demand, but the hike became a deterrent, particularly for the middle-income and economically weaker sections. Buyers pointed out that paying 25% upfront left them with limited liquidity and made them ineligible for loans from financial institutions, as they already had invested a substantial amount without formal loan sanction. BDA is also making renewed efforts to attract buyers. As part of this, it will host a flat expo at the Kaniminike Housing Complex on June 21, from 9am to 5pm, where available units will be showcased. Officials expect a strong turnout, especially with the rollback in deposit rates in effect. This move is expected to revive demand and restore public confidence in BDA's housing projects, many of which are located in fast-developing corridors of the city.
