The following table helps in examining trends of gross advances, gross NPAs, ratio of gross
NPAs to gross advances and ratio of gross NPAs to total assets. It is clearly viewed from the
above table that the gross advances of the public sector banks have shown a rising trend since
2000-01. Gross advances of public sector banks have increased from merely Rs 4,42,134 crore in
2000-01 to Rs 22,83,473 crore in 2008-09 i.e. in a 9 year span of time the increase in gross
advances is 416.47 percent. The gross NPAs shows a mix trend over a study period of 9 years i.e.
the amount of gross NPAs shows both an increasing as well as decreasing trend. Public sector
banks shows a decreasing pattern till 2006-07 and in year 2001-02 and in the last two years there
was an increase in gross NPAs. There is a decrease of over 21 percent of gross NPA in a 9 year
time period which is a great sign for any bank. If we compare the ratios of gross NPAs to gross
advances and gross NPAs to total assets we can see that the ratio is continuously decreasing over
a period which means the gross NPAs is continuously decreasing relatively to total assets and
gross advances which is a much much positive sign for the public sector banks. This also shows
the improvement in efficiency of banks and the improvement in the quality of the asset. As
number of gross NPAs decreases relatively, this shows that the profitability is continuously
increasing and improving every year by overcoming the amount of gross NPAs.

Similarly, we can also visualize the trend of private sector banks by using gross advances, gross
NPAs and ratios of gross NPAs w.r.t. to gross advances and total assets. We can clearly see from
the above table that the gross advances are increasing continuously and there is an increase of
over 721 percent as compared to 2000-01 and 2008-09. This clearly shows that apart from the
presence of public sector banks, private sector banks also get a great opportunity to prove them.
The amount of gross NPAs shows a mix kind of trend over a period- as till 2002-03 and from
2005-06 to 2008-09 there is a continuous increase in gross NPA amount while there is a decrease
in it from a period ranging from 2003-04 to 2005-06. NPA ratios related to gross NPA also
shows a mix trend over a period. But if we see the last three years data, we can clearly see that
there is an increase in gross NPA to total assets and gross NPA to gross advances which means
that the asset quality is diminishing instead of improving.
Thus, if we compare both public and private sector banks we can say that public sector banks are
better than private sector banks as the efficiency and asset quality of public sector banks had
shown a continuous improvement if compare relatively to private sector banks.
b. ANALYSIS OF TREND AND ASSET QUALITY OF NET ADVANCES ANNET NON
PERFORMING ASSETS:
After the analysis of gross advances and gross NPA, the study investigates the net advances, net
NPAs, ratio of net NPAs to net advances and net NPAs to total assets.
First of all if we analyze the public sector banks we can see that the net advances are increasing
continuously every year and there is an increase of over 444 percent (i.e. from Rs 4,15,207 crore
to Rs 22,60,156 crore) if we take year 2000-01 and 2008-09 into consideration. Similarly, the net
NPAs shows a mix trend over a period. But, it is observed that despite increase in net non
performing assets (NPAs) in absolute terms during the year, asset quality of public sector banks
improved in the past few years as reflected in the decline in these two ratios i.e. net NPAs as
percentage of net advances, and net NPAs as percentage of total assets. Both of these ratios
shows a continuously decreasing trend which is a sign of improvement in the efficiency,
profitability and asset quality.
If we use the same criteria for private sector banks, we can see despite of continuous increase in
net advances in all years the net NPA ratio w.r.t to net advances and total assets increases in last
2-3 years that is in 2007-08 and 2008-09 while all other years shows a decreasing trend. That
means only in last 2-3 years the efficiency and asset quality of private sector banks is
questionable otherwise in all other previous years the banks hade shown a continuous
improvement. As, if we see overall performance of the private sector banks we can say that there
is a wide improvement as the net NPA ratios changes form 5.4 to 1.3 and from 2.3 to 0.7.
Thus, after comparing both the gross and net NPA ratio, if we compare relatively both of these
public and private sector banks we can say public sector banks are much more efficient than
private sector banks.
Substandard assets:
These are assets which come under the category of NPA for a period of less then 12 months.
Doubtful assets:
These are NPA exceeding 12 months
Loss assets:
These are NPA which are identified as unreliable by internal inspector of bank or auditors or by
RBI.
The above table helps in the analysis of loan assets. The substandard assets have shown a
decline to 0.9 percent in 2009 from 3.3percent in 2001. Similarly, the doubtful assets have
declined to 0.5 percent from a high 7.6 percent in 2001 while the loss assets have declined to 0.2
percent from 1.5 percent during the same period. The decline in various categories of loan assets
indicates recovering health of public sector banks. All the three categories of NPAs that are sub-
standard assets, doubtful assets and loss assets as percentage of gross non-performing assets have
registered a decline over the period of study. Thus, we can say that the financial health or the
quality of assets of public sector banks is being continuously improving every year.

If we analyze the loan assets of private sector banks, we can say that if we compare the first year
and last year for sub standard assets we can say that there is a decrease in it of health is
improving but overall analysis for sub-standard assets shows that after year 2006 there is a
continuous increase in the amount of sub-standard assets i.e. from 1percent to 1.8 percent. But,
the doubtful assets have declined from 5.9percent in 2003 to 0.9percent in 2009. The loss assets
also have shown a decreasing trend from year 2003. Thus, we can say that except the sub-
standard assets category the other two categories of non performing assets have improved over
the period of study.
Sector-wise the NPAs have been classified into three sectors i.e. priority sector (agriculture,
small scale industries and other industries), public sector and non-priority sector.
