Dear Mr. Makhdoom and Ms. Lubit:

Greene County Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is in receipt of the correspondence from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) dated March 12, 2024 related to the SEC’s review of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Fiscal Quarter Ended December 31, 2023. Our responses to the comments are set forth below. For the convenience of the SEC Staff, we have repeated each comment in bold, followed by our response.

Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Overview
Loan Portfolio Composition, page 27

1.
We note the tabular disclosure on page 27 detailing the composition of your gross loan portfolio, which includes commercial real estate (“CRE”). Given the significance of CRE in your total loan portfolio, please revise your disclosures, in future filings, to further disaggregate the composition of your CRE loan portfolio by separately presenting the components of the portfolio by key borrower type (e.g., by office, hotel, multifamily, etc.) as well as whether the loans are owner occupied or not. Also, to the extent that there are geographic concentrations and other material characteristics (e.g., current weighted average and/or range of loan-to-value ratios, occupancy rates, etc.) material to an investor’s understanding of your CRE loan portfolio, include those details in future filings. Finally, revise to describe the specific details of any risk management policies, procedures or other actions undertaken by management in response to the current environment.
