    Solution

    Explanation:  
    The CRAR (Capital to Risk Weighted Assets Ratio) is a key measure of a bank’s financial stability, indicating how well a bank is capitalized to handle potential risks and shocks. According to the Financial Stability Report (FSR) of July 2025, the CRAR of SCBs rose to a record high of 17.3% till 2025 . This is a significant achievement as it represents the resilience of India’s banking system.  

    • A higher CRAR implies stronger capacity to absorb financial stress.  
    • This level is well above the Basel III global minimum requirement of 8% and even RBI’s prescribed norm of 9%.  
    • The record high reflects improved risk management, capital adequacy, and the declining GNPA/NNPA ratios also highlighted in the same report.
