While the number of branches had increased by about 9.3 percent over the previous year, the deposits of RRBs in Bihar increased by 9.8 percent, and credits by 11.8 percent. Only less than 50 percent of what the rural economy of Bihar deposits with the RRBs is flowed back to it in the form of credit.

Bihar accounted for about 6.1 percent of all rural deposits of the scheduled commercial banks in the country in 2010-11. The volume of rural deposits with scheduled commercial banks in Bihar in March 2011 (Rs. 30,079 crore) was more than in many states, including Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.

Between 2007-08 (Rs. 3755 crore) and 2009-10 (Rs.7163 crore), a period of two years, the credit flow to agriculture had increased by only Rs. 3408 crore; but during the next two years, it expanded more than two-folds, by Rs. 7795 crore. It was the commercial banks that accounted for the major share (64.7 percent) in the total credit. The outstanding agricultural advances stood at Rs. 18,290 crore at the end of 2011-12.

In March 2011, with 8463 PACS, Bihar accounted for 9.1 percent of all PACS in India; however, in terms of deposits and borrowings, Bihar is much behind the other states. Also, out of the total 8463 PACS in Bihar, as many as 3962 societies are making losses, their total losses being Rs 1 crore. The total deposits of all PACS is only Rs 175 crore and their total borrowings amounted to Rs 501 crore.

In addition, NABARD has refinanced a number of activities, particularly farm mechanisation, dairy and rural non-farm sector. In 2011-12, their respective shares in total refinancing of Rs. 377 crore were — farm mechanisation (26.0 percent), dairy (18.8 percent) and rural non-farm sector (26.0 percent).

In March, 2012, SHG coverage of rural households in Bihar was only 54.0 percent. The average savings of Rs 4602 per SHG in Bihar was much below the national average of Rs 8230 and the average credit of Rs 1.02 lakh again was far below the national average of Rs 1.44 lakh. The total loans disbursed during 2011-12 to the SHGs by banks amounted to Rs 398.61 crore and their outstanding loans stood at Rs 1040.71 crore.

Of these, 1271 companies (97.8 percent) were in the private sector with a total authorised capital of Rs 163 crore, and only 28 companies (2.2 percent) were in the public sector with a total authorised capital of Rs 91 crore.
