Supervisory Data Quality Index for Scheduled Commercial Banks

The RBI has published the Supervisory Data Quality Index (sDQI) for Scheduled Commercial Banks for December 2025. This is the first release under the new measurement framework that evaluates bank supervisory data submissions against the Master Direction on Filing of Supervisory Returns 2024. The index covers four quality dimensions: Accuracy, Timeliness, Completeness, and Consistency.

Scheduled Commercial Banks should review their sDQI scores and identify areas for improvement in data submission quality. Banks should ensure compliance with the Master Direction on Filing of Supervisory Returns 2024. This release establishes baseline data quality benchmarks that may influence future supervisory ratings and inspections. Banks should monitor for additional guidance on remediation requirements based on sDQI scores.
