The excitation function for the proton induced nuclear reactions on natural cadmium was measured up to 23 MeV employing stacked foil activation technique using the 14UD pelletron accelerator. Experimental cross-section and isomeric cross-section ratio have been measured for the 
Cd(p,x) 
Cd, Cd(p,x) 
In reactions. The excitation function of 
Cd and the isomeric cross-section ratio of 
In isotopes have been measured and reported for the first time. Theoretical analysis of the data are done using the statistical model codes EMPIRE-3.2 and TALYS-1.8. Various dependence of isomeric cross-section ratio on different factors such as the spin, life time of the isomeric states and also the dependence of the exit channel are well explained.
