The level scheme of ${}^{103}\mathrm{Pd}$ has been reconstructed using high-fold $\gamma$-ray coincidence data obtained with the EUROGAM-2 spectrometer in the ${}^{70}\mathrm{Zn}{(}^{36}\mathrm{S},3n)$ reaction at $E=130\mathrm{}\mathrm{MeV}.$ New spins and excitation energies are given for levels in the strongly coupled positive parity bands. Four high-spin bands are discussed in terms of terminating configurations using Nilsson-Strutinsky cranking calculations. One of them, having valence-space configuration, is observed up to its predicted terminating state of $I^{\pi }{=65/2\mathrm{}}^{+}.$ Another band, which is possibly observed up to its terminating state at $I>\mathrm{}40,$ is assigned to have a $2p-2h$ core-excited configuration.
