Household debt at 7-year high as lenders hold back on loans to industry
Industrial credit has flagged lending to other sectors, with banks growing wary of big corporate loans. The
total credit to industry fell from 44.3 percent of non-food credit in March 2015 to 35.1 percent in March
2018. Personal and housing loans have been the biggest gainers in banks’ push to reduce exposure to
industry.
Lenders are issuing more housing loans despite a slowdown in the real estate sector, which is still reeling
under the twin impact of demonetization and the implementation of the Real Estate (Regulation and
Development) Act. With more money being pumped into the sector through lending to home-owners,
developers will get a fillip in delivering pledged projects. Housing prices have rebounded in some cities such
as Hyderabad and Kolkata, while prices remain subdued in others.
Easy access to credit cards is inducing more Indians to splurge. Outstanding credit card payments doubled,
from around Rs 30,000 crore in FY15 to Rs 69,000 crore in FY18. The share of credit card debt to the total
liabilities of households amounts to almost 1 percent. Automobile loans have also seen robust growth.

Household debt at 7-year high as lenders hold back on loans to industry
The trend in the ‘other personal loans’ category indicates that people are increasingly unwilling to put off
aspirational goals such as a foreign holiday for lack of funds. Banks on their part, are not shirking from
lending to people looking to live life on the installment plan. ‘Other personal loans’ accounted for 6.6
percent of total household debt, up 2.7 percent from 3.9 percent in FY15.
The central bank is looking to generate quarterly estimates of household financial savings to better gauge
the economy. The RBI’s annual report found that household income increased to 7.1 percent of GNDI in
FY18, highlighting the fact that asset growth at the household level is more than keeping pace with debt.
