The "Credit by Scheduled Commercial Banks" dataset provided by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) captures information on the credit extended by scheduled commercial banks in India to various population groups, bank groups, occupation groups, and occupation subgroups. The dataset covers various types of credit, such as agricultural credit, personal loans, housing loans, and loans to the industrial sector, among others.

The dataset is organized across four dimensions, including population group, bank group, occupation group, and occupation subgroup. The population group dimension includes categories such as rural, semi-urban, urban, and metropolitan, while the bank group dimension includes categories such as nationalized banks, private sector banks, foreign banks, and regional rural banks, among others. The occupation group dimension includes categories such as agriculture and allied activities, industry, and services, while the occupation subgroup dimension includes categories such as self-employed individuals, salaried individuals, and others.

This dataset is useful for researchers, policymakers, and financial analysts who are interested in understanding the credit flow in the Indian economy, analyzing the distribution of credit across different population groups and sectors, and identifying trends in credit disbursement by scheduled commercial banks.
