The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has released its 2024 list of Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs). State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank have once again been identified as D-SIBs and placed in specific buckets based on their systemic importance. These banks will be subject to additional Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital requirements, on top of existing buffers, with the exact percentage depending on their designated bucket.

FAQ :
SBI, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank continue to be identified as Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs) in 2024.
D-SIBs are identified to ensure they maintain adequate capital buffers, which are additional Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) requirements, to absorb losses and maintain financial stability.
The additional Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) requirement varies based on the bank's bucket. For instance, SBI is in bucket 4 with a 0.80% requirement, HDFC Bank in bucket 2 with 0.40%, and ICICI Bank in bucket 1 with 0.20%.
The higher D-SIB surcharge for SBI and HDFC Bank will be applicable from April 01, 2025. Until March 31, 2025, they will have lower applicable surcharges.
D-SIBs are placed in appropriate buckets based on their Systemic Importance Scores (SISs), as outlined in the Reserve Bank's framework for dealing with D-SIBs.
