Reference Statistics and Data Warehouse Department’s letter No. DS.BS. 2 (1) / 2021-015147 dated December 21, 2021 which requires reporting institutions (RIs) to submit the subject quarterly return within 45 days of close of reporting period. It also advises on submission of the same return at half-yearly (HY) frequency.

To reduce reporting burden on RIs, the submission of HY returns are discontinued with immediate effect. RIs are advised to submit the subject quarterly return within 30 days of close of every quarter from September 2023 data.

RIs must ensure that these data are reconciled with corresponding period’s data submitted by RIs to this Department through statements on ‘Assets and Liabilities (A03),’ ‘Deposits Distributed by Category of Deposit Holders (A-05)’, and ‘Monthly Loans Classified by Borrowers (A-07)’, as per SBP instructions issued from time to time.

Any erroneous reporting warrants punitive action under relevant provisions of Law. For any query with reference to subject data, please feel free to contact Mr. Waqar Ali, Assistant Director, through email ([email protected]) or telephone (021-33138281-82)
