The CRAR of all bank groups under Basel I remained well above the stipulated regulatory norm of 9 per cent in 2010-1. Under Basel II also, the CRAR of SCBs remained well above the required minimum in 2010-11.

The single-factor stress tests undertaken by the CFSA divulge that the banking system can endure considerable shocks arising from large possible changes in credit quality, interest rate and liquidity conditions
Current challenges
