SBI said the growth trajectory indicates the bank's progression at an accelerated pace.
"A series of tactical measures and digital initiatives undertaken over the past few years played a crucial role in our journey to the Rs. 5 lakh crore mark under personal banking advances (other than housing)," chairman Dinesh Khara said.
At the end of September, home loans with Rs 5.94 lakh crore of outstanding book was the largest in the retail portfolio of the bank followed by Xpress credit at Rs 2.71 lakh crore, a presentation on the bank's website showed.

In a interview with ET in March this year the then deputy managing director, retail, Saloni Narayan had said that she estimates the unsecured personal loan market in India to be worth Rs 7 lakh crore currently, growing at 20% per annum.
“We used the disruption caused by the pandemic to set up a retail loan management software (RLMS) system, which uses customer data from various sources and credit bureaus to give an on-the-spot appraisal within eight minutes. During the pandemic, since many of our staff were working from home, they were given a list of prospective customers using this analytics, which also played a big part in this growth,” Narayan had said.
