CASA ratio stands for current and savings account ratio. CASA ratio of a bank is the ratio of deposits in current, and saving accounts 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%.[6] If a large part of a bank's deposits comes from these funds, it means that the bank is getting those funds at a relative lower cost. It is generally understood that a higher CASA ratio leads to higher net interest margin. In India , it is used as one of the metrics to assess the profitability of a bank.[7][8]

Formula

[math]\displaystyle{ {CASA Ratio} = \left ( \frac{CASA Deposit}{Total Deposits plus CASA} \right ) }[/math]
