About AskBanker.in

Built by Bankers, for Anyone Who Deals with a Bank

We're a small team of bank officers who kept explaining the same things — how DSCR is calculated, what a repo rate cut actually changes, why a loan got rejected — and decided to write it all down properly, once, in one place.

Who We Are

A Team of Experienced Bankers

AskBanker.in is built and maintained by a small team of practising and former bank officers — people who have sat on the other side of a loan file, sanctioned working capital limits, sat for JAIIB and CAIIB themselves, and answered the same customer questions across a bank counter more times than we can count.

We started this site because most banking content online is written by people who have never worked inside a bank.

“Ours is written by people who have.

Two Doors In — One Set of Facts

Editorial Approach

How We Keep It Accurate

📋

RBI content is pulled, not typed

Our RBI Circulars page reads directly from RBI's own notification feed and Master Directions pages, refreshing automatically rather than relying on someone to copy-paste updates.

đŸĻ

Bank rates come from the banks themselves

Each of our 39 bank profile pages links out to that bank's own official rate page, so you can always verify the number against the source.

🧮

Calculators use standard banking formulae

DSCR, DP, MPBF and our other credit ratios follow the formulae used in real credit appraisal — the same ones covered in JAIIB/CAIIB — not simplified approximations.

âœī¸

Written by people who've done the job

Every guide on the JAIIB/CAIIB library is written by someone who has actually taken the exam or worked the desk it describes, not generated from a generic template.

Our Journey

How the Platform Grew

Foundation

Core banking guides & calculators

Started with the concepts we were asked about most — DSCR, NPA classification, KYC — plus the EMI and ratio calculators to go with them.

Library

The JAIIB/CAIIB library

Grew into 112 exam-focused guides across all four JAIIB/CAIIB papers, each with practice MCQs — now over 5,600 questions in total.

Bank Directory

39 bank profiles & a 9,900+ institution list

Built individual profile pages with live rates for 39 major banks, plus a searchable directory covering every bank, NBFC and co-operative bank in India.

Live Regulation

Real-time RBI circulars

Connected directly to RBI's own feeds so notifications, Master Directions and the circular archive (back to 2016) stay current without manual updates.
