CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed its ‘CRISIL A1+’ rating on Bank of Maharashtra’s certificate of deposits. The rating reflects the expectation of strong support from the Government of India (GoI), the bank’s comfortable resource profile, and sustained improvement in asset quality and profitability. These strengths are partially offset by moderate scale and high regional concentration in operations as of November 4, 2025.
