India’s largest banks collectively spent over ₹2,700 crore in FY25 on printing and stationery, highlighting the scale of operational overheads in the banking sector. According to a Mint analysis based on FY25 annual reports, State Bank of India led the list with ₹986 crore, followed by HDFC Bank at ₹820 crore. ICICI Bank reported ₹274 crore, Axis Bank ₹226 crore, Kotak Mahindra Bank ₹136 crore, IDFC FIRST Bank ₹123 crore, IndusInd Bank ₹107 crore, and Yes Bank ₹66 crore. While SBI’s absolute expenditure is the highest due to its vast branch network and customer base, smaller private lenders show comparatively lower costs. However, IDFC FIRST Bank stands out for having one of the highest expense-to-profit ratios, with printing and stationery costs accounting for around 8% of its net profit. . .
