    Solution

    Statement 1 is correct as Crisil indeed forecasts a decline in credit growth to 14% in FY25. Statement 3 is also correct; the slowdown is attributed to higher risk weights on unsecured loans by the RBI. However, Statement 2 is incorrect; deposit growth is not projected to surpass credit growth but is lagging, which could restrain credit expansion.
