    Solution

    CASA ratio of a bank is the ratio of deposits in Current Account (CA) and Saving Accounts (SA) to total deposits. A higher CASA ratio indicates a lower cost of funds, because banks do not usually give any interests on current account deposits and the interest on saving accounts is usually very low 3-4%. Only few banks (e.g. YES Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank) pay higher interest of around 6% on Saving Account balance.
