1 Introduction

although had made some progress regarding the deposit growth, its spread was mainly
urban. During the time, banks were run to quench their requirements rather than satisfy
commercial principles. This gradually eroded in the capital base of banks. The ratio of
paid-up capital and reserves to deposits declined by more than 75 per cent from
9.7 per cent in 1951 to 2.2 per cent in 1969. The rapid increase in deposits in relation to
their owned capital enabled the industrialist shareholders to enjoy immense leverage. It
was felt that if bank funds had to be channeled for rapid economic growth with social
justice, there was no alternative to nationalization of at least the major segment of the
banking system. Accordingly, the Government nationalized 14 banks with deposits of
over Rs.50crore by promulgating the Banking Companies (Acquisition and Transfer of
Undertakings) Ordinance, 1969.
The move thereafter was swift. The Government of India issued an ordinance ('Banking
Companies (Acquisition and Transfer of Undertakings) Ordinance, 1969')) and
nationalized the 14 largest commercial banks in 1969. These banks contained 85 percent
of bank deposits in the country. The nationalization of banks was an attempt to make use
of the scarce resources of the banking system for the purpose of planned development.
The banks had limited lending in the rural sector owing to the unprofitable task of
maintaining a large number of small accounts. The problem of lopsided distribution of
banks and the lack of explicit articulation of the need to channel credit to certain priority
sectors was sought to be achieved first by social control on banks and then by the
nationalization of banks in 1969 and 1980. The Lead Bank Scheme provided the blue-
print of further bank branch expansion. The course of evolution of the banking sector in
India since 1969 has been dominated by the nationalization of banks. This period was
characterized by rapid branch expansion that helped to draw the channels of monetary
transmission far and wide across the country. The share of unorganized credit fell sharply
and the economy seemed to come out of the low level of equilibrium trap. However, the
stipulations that made this possible and helped spread institutional credit and nurture the
financial system, also led to distortions in the process. The administered interest rates and
9
the burden of directed lending constrained the banking sector significantly. There was
very little operational flexibility for the commercial banks. Profitability occupied a back
seat. Banks also suffered from poor governance. The financial sector became the
‘Achilles heel’ of the economy (Rangarajan, 1998). Fortunately, for the Indian economy,
quick action was taken to address these issues. A second phase of nationalization
occurred during 1980 to some private banks which were found to be victim of poor
governance. As a result of it 6 more banks with demand and time liabilities more than
Rs.200crores were nationalized and with that all the nationalized banks together
constituted of 91% of the banking sector deposits.
One of the outcomes of the substantial expansionary plan expenditure during the 1970s
and the 1980s was that the Government’s budget expanded and the banking sector was
increasingly used for financing fiscal deficits. The fiscal deficit to GDP ratio increased
steadily from 3.1 per cent of
GDP in 1970-71 to 5.8 per cent in 1980-81 and further to 7.9 in 1990-91. In order to
counter the impact of deficit financing that fuelled excess money growth, the Reserve
Bank was required to raise the cash reserve ratio frequently and it subsequently increased
from 5 per cent in June 1973 to 15 percent by July 1989. There also occurred a steady
rise in the statutory liquidity ratio from 26% in 1970 to 38.5 in 1990. Thus, by 1991, 63.5
per cent resources of the banking sector were pre-empted in the form of SLR and CRR.
11
the financial sector, financial sector reforms were initiated as part of overall structural
reforms. The country’s outlook to reform in the banking and financial sector was ruled by
the five principles: (i) cautious and sequencing of reform measures; (ii) introduction of
norms that were mainly reinforcing; (iii) introduction of complementary reforms across
sectors (monetary, fiscal, external and financial sectors); (iv) development of financial
institutions; and (v) development and integration of financial markets. The evolution of
the banking sector in this phase could be further divided into two sub phases,
i.e., from 1991-92 to 1997-98 and 1997-98 onwards.
During the first phase, the prominent issues of concern were the fragile health, low
profitability and weak capital base of banks. Internationally accepted prudential norms
relating to income recognition, asset classification & provisioning and capital adequacy
were introduced in 1992 in order to improve the health of the banking sector. The banks
had to classify their assets based on their performances which provided the picture that
almost a quarter of the bank’s advances were captive in unproductive resources. To
achieve capital adequacy level Capital to Risk-weighted Asset Ratio was brought in. The
Public Sector Units were allowed to approach the capital markets directly to mobilize
equity funds from public. In effect with these norms and regulations, banks could shortly
bring down their NPA’s. Simultaneously, CRR and SLR were also cut down with a view
to improve upon bank’s profitability and raise the lendable resources. Banks were also
free to fix their own deposit and lending rates. Along came the rationalization and
deregulation of interest rates, on both deposit & lending sides. In order to bring about a
competitive environment RBI allowed for entry of new private & foreign banks in the
economy. CAMELS were introduced to inspect upon the banks operation and
performances. Justifiable Customer Services at fair prices were also started through
Banking Ombudsman. Priority sector operations were expanded by interest rate
deregulations and permitting alternative avenues of investment. NABARD catered to the
Rural Infrastructure Development Fund as & when the banks failed to do so. Measures
for ameliorating the problem in the agricultural credit were also initiated. The end of this
12
phase was marked with a significant overcome in the financial performance, asset quality,
capital position and behavioral change in the banking system. However some concerns
continued to persist in certain section of the banks such as high NPA in PSUs compared
to international standards, failure to achieve prescribed capital adequacy ratio, continuity
of incurring losses, non-penetration of competition etc. Added to that the dwindling state
of debt recovery system led to risk aversion by banks as a result of application of
prudential norms & pressurizing banks to reduce NPAs. Moreover RRB’s still failed to
function satisfactorily. The East Asian Crisis of 1997 also invoked an air of panic to the
risks of weak banking on the real economy. Thus, further in view of upgrading the
banking sector the Narsimham Committee II came into rescue with submission of its
reports in 1998. It stated the following improvisations: the minimum capital to risk-
weighted assets was marginally raised, asset-liability management due to mismatch
between the two, along with better risk management norms were initiated.
Implementation of tighter income recognition, asset classification & provisioning norms
were ensured. Thereafter, following the Basel Committee amendments, the banks were
required to maintain capital charge for market risks.
The establishment of Credit Information Bureau (India) Ltd (CIBIL) with a point to
strengthen the legal mechanism and facilitate several credit information bureaus to
collect, process and share credit information to various borrowers of banks was initiated.
Credit grew rapidly also due to sharp increase in bank credit to household sector. The
repo rate was increased to manage credit to retail sector and also tackle inflationary
pressures. Competition between the banks intensified as was reflected by mergers &
acquisitions. Also many banks introduced sub-BPLR lending and the spread between
minimum and maximum lending rate increased considerably. FDI in banking sector was
brought under the automatic route; the private sector benefitting a raise in FDI limit from
49 to 74% under this. Diversification in bank operations was seen with introduction of
services in primary issues and activities concerning advisory, custodial & depository and
insurance business leading to rise in non-interest income. Ownership of private banks
13
was well diversified to bring about quality in management performances. RBI, on
recognizing the critical role posed by SSI on the economy, came out with measures to
increase flow of credit to them by broadening the scope for indirect finance, making
investments in securitized assets, adopting of cluster-based approach for financing them,
publicizing working models of NGOs etc. SIDBI also assisted wherever required. A
package of relief measures for farmers was introduced in 2004 by RBI & NABARD.
Banks were asked to take aid of NGOs/SHGs, MFIs to reach the doorstep of clients and
compete with informal sector which were easily accessible. The focus thus shifted from
class banking to mass banking with the objective of financial inclusion which ushered in
facilities like ‘no-frills account’. It was planned to revive the state of Urban Cooperative
banks either through mergers or liquidation. Customer services along with financial
literacy were upgraded through credit counseling. Technological soundness was observed
in branch computerization and setting up of ATMs. RTGs and NEFT were implemented
to bring down risks of e-payments and transfers.

Bank was registered on 19 May 1894 under the Indian Companies Act, with its office
in Anarkali Bazaar, Lahore, in present-day Pakistan. The founding board was drawn from
26
different parts of India professing different faiths and of varying back-ground with, the
common objective of creating a truly national bank that would further the economic
interest of the country.[1] PNB's founders included several leaders of
the Swadeshi movement such as Dyal Singh Majithia and Lala Harkishen Lal, Lala
Lalchand, Kali Prosanna Roy, E. C. Jessawala, Prabhu Dayal, Bakshi Jaishi Ram, and
Lala Dholan Dass.[9][10] Lala Lajpat Rai was actively associated with the management of
the Bank in its early years. The board first met on 23 May 1894.[1] The bank opened for
business on 12 April 1895 in Lahore.
PNB is the first Indian bank to have been started solely with Indian capital that survives
to the present – the earlier Oudh Commercial Bank was established in 1881, but failed in
1958.

1.2.8 SBI
State Bank of India (SBI) is an Indian multinational, public sector banking and financial

bank in the world and ranked 221st in the Fortune Global 500 list of the world's biggest
corporations of 2020, being the only Indian bank on the list. It is a public sector bank and
the largest bank in India with a 23% market share by assets and a 25% share of the total
loan and deposits market.
The bank descends from the Bank of Calcutta, founded in 1806 via the Imperial Bank of
India, making it the oldest commercial bank in the Indian Subcontinent. The Bank of
Madras merged into the other two presidency banks in British India, the Bank of
Calcutta and the Bank of Bombay, to form the Imperial Bank of India, which in turn
became the State Bank of India in 1955. The Government of India took control of the
28
Imperial Bank of India in 1955, with Reserve Bank of India (India's central bank) taking
a 60% stake, renaming it State Bank of India.
History:
The roots of State Bank of India lie in the first decade of the 19th century when the Bank
of Calcutta later renamed the Bank of Bengal, was established on 2 June 1806. The Bank
of Bengal was one of three Presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of
Bombay (incorporated on 15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (incorporated on 1 July
1843). All three Presidency banks were incorporated as joint stock companies and were
the result of royal charters. These three banks received the exclusive right to issue paper
currency till 1861 when, with the Paper Currency Act, the right was taken over by the
Government of India. The Presidency banks amalgamated on 27 January 1921, and the
re-organised banking entity took as its name Imperial Bank of India. The Imperial Bank
of India remained a joint-stock company but without Government participation.
Pursuant to the provisions of the State Bank of India Act of 1955, the Reserve Bank of
India, which is India's central bank, acquired a controlling interest in the Imperial Bank
of India. On 1 July 1955, the Imperial Bank of India became the State Bank of India. In
2008, the Government of India acquired the Reserve Bank of India's stake in SBI so as to
remove any conflict of interest because the RBI is the country's banking regulatory
authority.
In 1959, the government passed the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act. This
made eight banks that had belonged to princely states into subsidiaries of SBI. This was
at the time of the First Five Year Plan, which prioritised the development of rural India.
The government integrated these banks into the State Bank of India system to expand its
rural outreach. In 1963 SBI merged State Bank of Jaipur (est. 1943) and State Bank of
Bikaner (est.1944).
SBI has acquired local banks in rescues. The first was the Bank of Bihar (est. 1911),
which SBI acquired in 1969, together with its 28 branches. The next year SBI acquired
29
National Bank of Lahore (est. 1942), which had 24 branches. Five years later, in 1975,
SBI acquired Krishnaram Baldeo Bank, which had been established in 1916 in Gwalior
State, under the patronage of Maharaja Madho Rao Scindia. The bank had been
the Dukan Pichadi, a small moneylender, owned by the Maharaja. The new bank's first
manager was Jall N. Broacha, a Parsi. In 1985, SBI acquired the Bank of Cochin
in Kerala, which had 120 branches. SBI was the acquirer as its affiliate, the State Bank of
Travancore, already had an extensive network in Kerala.
There was, even before it actually happened, a proposal to merge all the associate banks
into SBI to create a single very large bank and streamline operations.
The first step towards unification occurred on 13 August 2008 when State Bank of
Saurashtra merged with SBI, reducing the number of associate state banks from seven to
six. On 19 June 2009, the SBI board approved the absorption of State Bank of Indore, in
which SBI held 98.3%. (Individuals who held the shares prior to its takeover by the
government held the balance of 1.7%).
The acquisition of State Bank of Indore added 470 branches to SBI's existing network of
branches. Also, following the acquisition, SBI's total assets approached ₹10 trillion. The
total assets of SBI and the State Bank of Indore were ₹9,981,190 million as of March
2009. The process of merging of State Bank of Indore was completed by April 2010, and
the SBI Indore branches started functioning as SBI branches on 26 August 2010.

2 Research Methodology
General Objective:
The general objective of the study is to analyze the performance of commercial banks in
India and to rank the respective commercial banks based on their performances.
Specific Objectives:
To review the present status of Indian Banks.
To examine the Financial Performance of selected Banks from the view point of
CAMELS and EAGLES Models.
To rank the banks based on CAMELS and EAGLES models regarding financial
Performance.
To make suggestions for the better performance of selected banks based on
CAMELS and EAGLES Models.
Banking plays a significant role in an economy. Public and Private sector Banks are
working together but with heavy competition with each other. Public sector Banks are
also using the core banking solution and provide other technology enabled services to
match with their counterpart Private sector banks. Once again RBI is in the process to
issue new banking licenses to new entitle in the banking sector. So, competition is going
to intensify in near future.
So, the present study is an attempt to evaluate performance of Indian Banking sector.
This study gives an idea about ups and downs of financial performance of selected public
and private sector banks. There, financial performance gives a path to other banking
institutions also. In nut shell, this study throws a light on financial environment of public
and private sector Banks.
33
2.3 Scope of the study
The study is going to use the data’s of 8 commercial banks of India for the years 2016-
2020 (5 years) however, results can be generalized to cover all commercial banks.
No study can be free from Limitations. The Limitations of the Present study are as under:
The study is based on secondary data. The data is collected from annual
reports, Journals, Magazines and websites. So, Limitations of secondary data
remain with it and also apply to this study.
In the present study only accounting and statistical tools are used i.e., Ratios
etc. it has its own limitations that also apply to this research work.
Only few ratios taken into consideration for the analysis of Camels and Eagles
model because of time constraint.
The present study has covered four public and four Private sector banks. So
any generalization for universal application is very difficult and cannot be
applied, because results of this study are confined and limited to the selected
banks.
2.5 Methodology
2.5.1 Data Collection
Main data for our project are the annual financial reports of each concerned bank
included in our studies. We have also used four main financial statements for ratio
analysis of selected commercial banks such as balance sheets, an income statement, cash
flow statement, statement of shareholder’s equity. In simple terms, key performance
indicators that showed the efficiency of the selected banks were used.
34
2.5.2 Sample Size
The sample size consists of 8 commercial Banks of India listed on stock exchange. The
data used for analysis of bank is for period of 5 years (2016-2020).
35
Ratio analysis can also help to confirm whether a company is doing better this year than
it was last year; and it can tell how a firm is performing comparing with similar firms in
industry.
36
2.5.4.3 Eagles Rating Model
The EAGLES is able to measure and compare banks performance in a more determinate,
objective and consistent manner. The name is derived from the key success factors
confronting banks today, i.e. Earning ability, Asset quality, Growth, Liquidity, Equity
and Strategy. This approach has been pioneered by the writer and has gained creditability
among the banking community and fund management industry in Asia, for competitor
analysis and investment planning respectively. It also predicted the Asian financial crisis
in the 1980s when the writer was “banned” from data collection in many countries.
EAGLES name has been adopted from the key success factors i.e. Earning Ability, Asset
Quality, Growth, Liquidity, Equity and strategy. EAGLES are able to measure and
compare banks performance in a more determinate, objective and consistent manner.
Over time these numerical measures act as early warning signs. Thus, EAGLES Model
plays a very significant role in this regard as it covers both financial and non-financial
parameters on which the regulators judge the performance of any bank.
3 Review of Literature
A healthy and vibrant economy requires a financial system that moves funds from people
who save to people who have productive investment opportunities. The financial system
is complex in both structure and function throughout the world. It includes many different
types of institutions’: banks, insurance companies, mutual funds, stock and bond markets,
etc.
According to Spong (2000), efficiency and competition are closely linked. In a
competitive banking system, banks must operate efficiently and utilize their resources
wisely if they are to keep their customers and remain in business. Competition has
implications for efficiency, innovation, pricing, availability of choice, consumer welfare,
and the allocation of resources in the economy.
According to literatures, bank performance studies have been started in the late 1980s
and/or early 1990s. These studies revolve on different theories. For Instance, the
37
signaling theory, which elaborates the relationship between capital and profitability,
suggests that higher capital is a positive signal to the market of the value of bank. By the
same token, a lower leverage indicates that banks perform better than their competitors
who can’t raise their equity without further deteriorating the profitability. The importance
of bank profitability can be appraised at the micro and macro level of the economy. At
the micro level, profit is the essential prerequisite of a competitive banking institutions
and the cheapest source of funds. It is not merely a result, but also a necessity for
successful banking in a period of growing competition on financial markets. Hence, the
basic aim of every bank management is to maximize profit, as an essential requirement
for conducting business. Various literatures written by academicians also assert that
profitability is the bottom line or ultimate performance result showing the net effects of
bank policies and activities in a financial year. As a matter of fact, numerous factors such
as inflation, accounting policy, high level of competition, etc., may have an influence on
a bank’s profitability. In due course, wide varieties of ratios are discussed and different
measures of profitability of commercial banks have been suggested.
(Baral, 2005) made a brief analysis that CAMELS appraisement belief has become a
concise and basal apparatus for examiners and regulators. This appraisement archetype
ensures a bank’s healthy conditions by reviewing altered aspects of a bank on the basis of
different sources of information such as financial statement, allotment sources,
macroeconomic data, budget and cash flow. According to CAMELS rating system, only
three banks are in the category of very strong banks and rest are either average or worst.
Camel rating is used to rank the bank based on their performance.
Using CAGR and mean we provide credibility to camel rating. By analyzing the financial
statements we can rank the bank. Camel rating is popular in India and is used by RBI for
rating different banks.
Dr. John Vong founder of the EAGLES Banking Benchmark, his views have been
published by Asian banking Journals, discussed publicly on television, and presented in
the U.S. and Europe. EAGLES name has been adopted from the key success factors i.e.
38
Earning Ability, Asset Quality, Growth, Liquidity, Equity and strategy. EAGLES are able
to measure and compare banks performance in a more determinate, objective and
consistent manner. The model analyses key ratios and is also considered as emerging
model besides Camels rating.
(Baral, 2005) made a brief analysis that CAMEL appraisement belief has become a
concise and basal apparatus for examiners and regulators. This appraisement archetype
ensures a bank’s healthy conditions by reviewing altered aspects of a bank on the basis of
different sources of information such as financial statement, allotment sources,
macroeconomic data, budget and cash flow.
(Alphonsius, 2009)), in his paper CAMEL based derived w-score function for banks
performance evaluation: an urgent necessity’ has made an endeavor to infer a basic
CAMEL – based capacity that can be utilized by bank controllers and administrations to
visualize, monitor, determine and proper emerging issues at short motive on daily,
weekly, monthly or annual basis before e they become out of bonds or intolerable. The
bank regulators and those in domain area unit implored to check the efficaciousness
(CLEAM) to derive function and certify its application with in the banking system.
(Nihir & Das, 2009) In their paper entitled A CAMEL analysis of the Indian Banking
Industry made a comparison between public sector banks with private/foreign banks. The
data has been extracted from the annual reports of respective banks for the five years.
Over all CAMEL rating the study found that private/ foreign banks are most efficient
than public sector banks but in terms of management quality and earnings quality needed
to be concentrate more.
39
(R.Jagdish & Raiyani, 2010) The purpose of this paper is to examine the financial
performance of pre and post-merger banks using CAMEL model so data has been
interpreted with the help of t-test. The sample of BOB, PNB, OBC, HDFC, ICICI and
CBOP has been taken for the analysis. With overall performance BOB is developed well
inspects of profitability, asset quality, liquidity and solvency. PNB is all right in respect
of spread ratio, asset quality, discharging of obligations, profitability and management
efficiency. OBC has developed after the merger through its liquidity, solvency,
profitability, asset quality and management quality. At last we can make a conclusion that
private sector banks are ruled over public sector banks in profitability and liquidity
whereas with capital Adequacy and NPA’s the result has been changed. So it has been
observed that private sector merged banks are performing well as compared to public
sector merged banks.
4 Data Analysis
The analysis is divided into two parts:
Camels Rating Model
Eagles Rating Model
41
4.1.1 Capital Adequacy
4.1.1.1 Capital Adequacy Ratio
Capital Adequacy Ratio (capital to Risk Weighted Assets) is the most widely employed
measure of soundness of banks. It reflects bank’s ability to withstand shocks in the event
of adverse developments. Basel accord of 1988 played a very positive role in providing
financial stability and competitive equality forces different banks. However the ongoing
refinements have increased pressure on the bottom line of commercial banks. The overall
capital position of commercial banks has witnessed considerable improvements in the
post reform phase. These refinements have increased pressure on commercial banks to
raise capital from different alternatives and reduce exposure in assets that carries higher
degree of risk weight age without compromising earning opportunities. At present a
commercial bank has to keep 9% risk weighted asset which is a mandatory by RBI. But
most of the banks in India are above 12%. A higher ratio indicates it is safer because if
loans go bad, it can make up from its net worth.

Comment:
The Capital Adequacy of private banks has been higher than the public sector banks. The
rank has been given on the basis of mean i.e. the bank with highest mean has been given
the topmost ranking and the bank with least mean has been given lowest ranking. From
the above table we can see that ICICI bank has the highest mean so it has been given the
1st rank and the bank with the lowest mean i.e. CBI bank has been ranked at 8th rank.
Given the current scenario of bank RBI has suggested banks to keep the Capital
Adequacy ratio between 10-12%.

Assets provides securities for the liabilities that an enterprise incur. Advances are the
major source of income for the banks so increase in the advances is a good sign for the
bank. An increase in Advances to total ratio shows the growth of the bank. In the above
table only two banks have positive Cagr that shows that remaining banks have struggled
to increase their ratio. The bank with the topmost rank is IndusInd Bank and the bank
with the least rank is CBI bank.

and the debtor is unable to meet his obligations. Nonperforming assets are listed on
the balance sheet of a bank or other financial institution. After a prolonged period of non-
payment, the lender will force the borrower to liquidate any assets that were pledged as
part of the debt agreement. If no assets were pledged, the lender might write-off the asset
as a bad debt and then sell it at a discount to a collection agency.
In most cases, debt is classified as nonperforming when loan payments have not been
made for a period of 90 days. While 90 days is the standard, the amount of elapsed time
may be shorter or longer depending on the terms and conditions of each individual loan.
A loan can be classified as a nonperforming asset at any point during the term of the loan
or at its maturity. Net NPA to Advances (loans) Ratio is the ratio of Net NPA to
advances. It is used as a measure of the overall quality of the bank’s loan book.
Comment
Lately NPA’s have been the major hurdle in the growth of the bank. With the events like
Demonetisation and Goods & Services Tax (GST) NPA’s of the banks has been on the
rise. NPA to Advances of 1% is said to be good but as we can clearly see most of the
bank have more than 2% NPA to Advances. The bank with the lowest mean has been
45
ranked at the top and the bank with the highest mean has been ranked lowest. In the
above table HDFC has the least mean so it stood at number 1 position and PNB with the
highest mean has been ranked last. The growth in the NPA’s to Advances of public sector
bank is matter of concern.

Investments is an important part of assets as the returns are not received from the
company’s activities but from investing in different securities. Investments can play
important role during the tough period of banks. In the above the bank with highest Cagr
growth has been ranked first and the bank with the least Cagr growth has been ranked
last. Here CBI has been given the first rank with the highest Cagr growth of 6.57% and
Axis bank has been ranked last with the negative growth of -5.91%.
Comment
Banks Efficiency can be achieved with getting optimal results with minimum resources.
Net profit per Employee tells you how efficiently the bank is managing its employees. In
the above table the bank with the highest Cagr is been ranked first and the bank with the
lowest Cagr has been ranked last. HDFC has gained the topmost spot with Cagr growth
of 9.83% and PNB bank is been last with the negative Cagr growth of -161.37%. The
ratio of CBI and PNB bank has been the worst.
Comment
Business per branch tells you how efficiently the manager has managed the resources of
the bank. The bank with the highest Cagr growth has been given topmost rank and the
bank with the least Cagr growth has been ranked lowest. Indusind Bank has achieved
highest efficiency with the Cagr growth of 11.12% and BOB has been last in achieving
the efficiency so it has been ranked last.
The operating return on assets ratio (ROA) is used to calculate the percentage rate of
return a business gets on its assets. The ratio measures the ability of a business to use its
assets to generate operating income. The formula uses the operating income of the
business which is the income the business generates before interest and tax expenses have
been deducted. Excluding the interest and tax expenses allows comparisons to be made
between different businesses independent of how they are financed and the tax
environment they operate in.

The earnings of the bank is directly proportionate to operating profit. Operating profit to
total assets tells how efficiently they have used the assets of the company in order to
generate operating profit. In the above table the bank with the highest mean has been
ranked first and bank with least mean has been ranked last. HDFC bank the only bank
with positive Cagr growth has been the top bank in terms of operating profit to total
assets. CBI with the least Cagr growth has been ranked last.
Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated as a company's profit divided by the outstanding
shares of its common stock. The resulting number serves as an indicator of a company's
profitability. It is common for a company to report EPS that is adjusted for extraordinary
items and potential share dilution. The higher a company's EPS, the more profitable it is
considered to be. Earnings per share (EPS) is a company's net profit divided by the
50
number of common shares it has outstanding. EPS indicates how much money a company
makes for each share of its stock, and is a widely used metric to estimate corporate value.
A higher EPS indicates greater value because investors will pay more for a company's
shares if they think the company has higher profits relative to its share price. EPS can be
arrived at in several forms, such as excluding extraordinary items or discontinued
operations, or on a diluted basis.

Another earnings ratio which is EPS that calculates the earning of the banks on per share
basis. The growth in the EPS is a positive sign for a bank. It is an important ratio from an
investor point of view. In the above table the bank with the Cagr growth has been ranked
first and the bank with the least Cagr growth has been ranked last. Here, Indusind bank
has been given the first rank and BOB has been given last rank.
4.1.5 Liquidity
Liquidity Management is one of the essential functions of treasury department of banks
to meet different demands of funds. A bank must maintain highly liquid assets in
sufficient amount to meet deposit with drawls as well as legitimate loan request.
51
Liquidity ratio provides the primary means of judging bank’s Liquidity position. In
Banking there is no universally recognized liquidity ratio as liabilities are not Predictable.
In case of non-financial firms, liabilities have fixed maturities while large portion of
bank’s liabilities are repayable on demand.
52
Comment
Deposits are liabilities for the banks so a good amount of investments provide liquidity to
banks if something goes wrong. An increase in the ratio is a positive sign for banks. The
bank with highest Cagr has been ranked first and bank with least Cagr growth has been
ranked last. HDFC is the only private commercial bank with positive Cagr growth this
shows that public sector banks clearly have an edge over private sector banks. The bank
with highest Cagr growth has been ranked first i.e. BOB and the bank with the least
growth i.e. Axis bank has been ranked last.

This ratio tells us the liquidity state of the bank. The higher the ratio the better it is for
banks. In the above table the bank with highest Cagr growth has been ranked first and the
bank with lowest Cagr Growth has been ranked lowest. Here Axis bank has been given
the first rank because of the Cagr growth of 10.25% and SBI has been given last rank
because of the negative Cagr growth of -5.51%.
Comment
The Calculation sensitivity to market risk is done on the share price of the banks. The
fluctuation in the value of share price of various banks due to external factors is taken
into consideration. The calculation of β will tells us how much volatile a stock is to
market changes. When the value of β is more than 1 the stock is considered highly
volatile and when the β is less than 1 then it is said that the bank is less volatile to market
risk. In the above table HDFC bank is only stock having a β value less than 1 hence it has
been ranked first. The bank with last rank is PNB having a β value of 1.772.
The overall ranking of the bank has been given on the basis of mean i.e. the bank with
least overall mean has been given the first rank and the bank with highest mean has been
given the last rank. Camels rating models tells you about the top three banks that you
have taken in the study. According to Camels rating the topmost banks with a good
performance is HDFC bank, the bank who was behind HDFC bank is Indusind bank and
the third rank goes to BOB. According to Camels rating the worst performing bank is
PNB.

This part main objective is to analyse and compare the financial performance of Selected
public and private sector Banks. As it has been discussed earlier this research is based on
the six broad parameters of financial management such as Earnings, Asset Quality,
Growth, Liquidity, Equity and strategy that are essential for financial viability of any
bank. These parameters are nomenclature as EAGLES. The performance of these banks
has been discussed in the following sections based on the above mentioned parameters.
The ratio taken for Eagles model are as follows:
Comment
The ratio shows how profitable a bank’s assets are in generating revenue. A lower RoA
means that bank is not able to utilise assets efficiently. Negative RoA implies the bank’s
assets are yielding negative return. The bank with highest Cagr growth has been given the
highest rank and the bank with the least Cagr growth has been given the lowest rank. As
we can see all the banks have a negative Cagr growth that means that banks have failed to
generate good return on their assets. HDFC bank has been given the first rank and PNB
with least Cagr growth has been given the last rank.
Comment
The amount of return generated on total shareholder funds is known as return on equity
or return on net worth. Return on equity of the banks has not been great apart from SBI
rest all banks have struggled to generate positive Cagr growth. Return on equity of BOB
and PNB has been the worst. SBI being the only bank with positive Cagr growth has
gained the top position and the bank with the worst return on equity i.e. BOB has been
ranked last.

4.3.2.1 Gross NPA’s
Gross NPA’s are the sum total of all loan assets that are classified as NPAs as per RBI
guidelines as on Balance Sheet date. Gross NPA reflects the quality of the loans made by
banks. It consists of all the nonstandard assets like as sub-standard, doubtful, and loss
assets. It can be calculated with the help of following ratio:
Gross NPAs Ratio = Gross NPAs / Gross Advances Ratio

During this 5 years the NPA’s of all the banks has been on the rise. Public sector banks
have struggled to keep their NPA’s below 1. The bank with the lowest mean has been
ranked first and the bank with highest mean has been ranked last. Here in the above table
HDFC bank has been given the first rank because of its least mean and the bank with
highest mean i.e. CBI has been ranked last.

performing loans. In order to cover unpaid debts, commercial banks tend to offer a
precautionary amount. Thus, if one deducts the provision for unpaid loans from unpaid
obligations, the resulting sum relates to the net non-performing assets.
Net NPA = (Total Gross NPA) - (Provision for Unpaid Debts)/Gross Advances

4.3.3 Growth
A higher growth of loans and deposits are the maximum essential signs of how a banks
wants to function itself in the market. An excessive growth in loan without a
corresponding growth in deposits signifies an aim to increase interest margin. A higher
61
deposit without a corresponding increase in loans means that the bank suffers from low
interest margins.
4.3.3.1 Advances
Loans are the effective rate of return on the Bank’s investment in loans. Higher Loans
growth indicates higher earning capacity of the bank.
Comment
Lending people money is one of the core business activity of the bank. So the increase in
the advances means that the bank is growing in its core activities. The bank with the
highest Cagr growth in advances is ranked first and the bank with the lowest Cagr growth
has been ranked last. In these 5 years the advances of Indusind bank has grown
exponentially therefore gaining the top spot. CBI is the only bank with negative Cagr
growth and therefore they are ranked last.
4.3.3.2 Deposits
Deposit is the amount accepted by bank from the savers in the form of current deposits,
savings Deposits and fixed deposits and interest is paid to them.

Deposit is the amount that the customers deposit with the bank. Deposits money is used
in various ways by the bank to generate return. Deposits and Advances are directly
related the more the amount of deposits with the bank the more advances will be given by
bank. The bank with highest Cagr growth has been ranked first and the bank with lowest
Cagr growth has been ranked last. Indusind bank has been given first rank and CBI has
been given last rank.
4.3.4 Liquidity
Liquidity Management is one of the essential functions of treasury department of banks
to meet different demands of funds. A bank must maintain highly liquid assets in
sufficient amount to meet deposit with drawls as well as legitimate loan request.
Liquidity ratio provides the primary means of judging bank’s Liquidity position. In
Banking there is no universally recognized liquidity ratio as liabilities are not Predictable.
In case of non-financial firms, liabilities have fixed maturities while large portion of
bank’s liabilities are repayable on demand.
63
4.3.4.1 Cash to Total Deposits
The amount of money a bank should have available as a percentage of
the total amount of money its customers have paid into the bank.
This amount is calculated so that customers can be sure that they will be able to
take their money out of the bank if they want to. Cash is the most liquid assets and hence
availability of cash helps to overcome unforeseen circumstances.

This ratio tells us the liquidity state of the bank. The higher the ratio the better it is for
banks. In the above table the bank with highest Cagr growth has been ranked first and the
bank with lowest Cagr Growth has been ranked lowest. Here Axis bank has been given
the first rank because of the Cagr growth of 10.25% and SBI has been given last rank
because of the negative Cagr growth of -5.51%.

movements of the underlying assets. Maximum interest investment Deposit enables a
bank to earn potentially higher interest rates than normal time deposits. RBI releases
investment to deposit rates. The investment-to-deposit ratio is “what is the relative worth
of investment compared with total deposits”. It is a very crucial determinant of any bank
for measuring efficiency in deposit management. Because a bank take deposits from their
valued customers and it has to ensure security by investing their money in profitable
sector. So ability to pay profit to the depositors depends on the bank’s earnings.
Comment
Deposits are liabilities for the banks so a good amount of investments provide liquidity to
banks if something goes wrong. An increase in the ratio is a positive sign for banks. The
bank with highest Cagr has been ranked first and bank with least Cagr growth has been
ranked last. HDFC is the only private commercial bank with positive Cagr growth this
shows that public sector banks clearly have an edge over private sector banks. The bank
with highest Cagr growth has been ranked first i.e. BOB and the bank with the least
growth i.e. Axis bank has been ranked last.

4.3.5 Equity
Equity level and capital adequacy have profound impact upon the bank. Not only is there
an international guideline (Basel I and II) that stipulates a bank must have a minimum
capital equivalent to 8% of risk adjusted asset, even RBI has mentioned a comfort zone of
10-12% of total CAR for banks in India.

The Capital Adequacy of private banks has been higher than the public sector banks. The
rank has been given on the basis of mean i.e. the bank with highest mean has been given
the topmost ranking and the bank with least mean has been given lowest ranking. From
the above table we can see that ICICI bank has the highest mean so it has been given the
1st rank and the bank with the lowest mean i.e. CBI bank has been ranked at 8th rank.
Given the current scenario of bank RBI has suggested banks to keep the Capital
Adequacy ratio between 10-12%.

Comment
The performance of the banks are directly reflected on the share price of the banks. The
amount of money generated by banks in stock market can be used to pump up the
operations of the bank. In the above table the bank with highest Cagr growth has been
given the topmost spot and the bank with lowest Cagr growth has been given last spot.
ICICI bank with highest Cagr growth has gained top spot and CBI with negative Cagr
growth has been ranked last.
4.3.6 Strategy
This defines the management’s bandwidth of actions as regards to growth of income and
balance sheet. It assesses management’s ability to lend, to garner deposits, obtain fee
based income and to manage the operating cost. As to what an appropriate balance of the
three core banking activities will depend on the bank’s strategy. The higher the figure the
better combined with excellent risk controls.
Comment
The strategy formulated for operations directly reflects on the performance of the banks.
The amount of interest earned should be more than the interest incurred for a bank to be
successful. The growth in the interest earned over interest incurred is a positive sign for
the bank. In the above table Indusind bank with highest Cagr growth has been given first
rank and the bank with lowest Cagr growth i.e. CBI bank has been ranked last. The ratio
of interest earned of PNB and CBI has fallen instead of growing. This shows poor
strategy by these two banks.
Eagles rating model is one of the emerging model besides Camels rating model. This
model successfully predicted the Asian crisis in the 1980s. The bank has been ranked on
the basis of their overall ranking mean i.e. the bank with the lowest overall mean has
been given the top rank and the bank with highest overall mean has been ranked last.
According to Eagles rating model the topmost bank is Indusind bank and the bank that is
second is HDFC bank. Axis bank has been the worst performing private sector banks and
PNB has been the worst performing public sector banks. Apart from HDFC and Indusind
69
bank all the banks have been struggling in terms of growth. The current scenario of
Indian banks has been a matter of concern as India is known as a banking economy and
the growth has not been upto the mark.

banking sector is a enormous development over the earlier system in terms of frequency,
coverage and focus as additionally as the device employed.
Findings:
Findings based on Camel Model:
Capital Adequacy: Capital Adequacy Ratio (capital to Risk Weighted Assets) is the most
widely employed measure of soundness of banks. The more the Capital Adequacy the better
is for banks. The mean capital adequacy of private banks has been on the higher side as
compare to public sector banks. CBI having the least mean has just managed to keep its
capital adequacy above RBI guidelines.
Advances to Total Assets: Advances to Assets are the proportion of total advances to total
assets. There is a direct relationship with banks to get more profits. There has not been
exponential growth in advances to total assets. Only few banks managed a positive Cagr
growth.
Asset Quality:
Net NPA to Advances: Last 5 years has not been good for banking sector in terms of
NPA’s. With the increase in NPA’s the many banks have failed to keep the ratio below 1.
Only HDFC bank and IndusInd Bank. Performance of public sector banks has been
below par as some bank having mean NPA to Advances approximately 8 which is not a
good sign for Indian banking sector.
%Total Investment to Total Assets: The growth in this ratio of public sector banks has
been better than private sector banks. Axis bank has been the worst bank in terms of
%investment to total assets.
Management Efficiency:
71
Profit per Employee: Many banks have failed to make optimum use of their employees.
PNB and BOB has been the worst performing bank in this ratio. On the other hand Axis
bank is the only private sector bank with negative Cagr growth.
Business per Branch: This ratio tells you how efficient banks branches are in generating
revenues for banks. HDFC and IndusInd bank has the highest Cagr growth among all
banks.
Earnings Quality:
Operating profits to Total Assets: This ratio for most banks has been negative HDFC is
the only bank with positive Cagr growth.
Earnings per share (EPS): EPS of BOB and PNB has been the worst among all the banks.
IndusInd bank outperforms every bank in this ratio.
Liquidity:
Cash to total Deposit: Here public sector banks clearly have an edge over private sector
banks because of huge number of deposits. SBI has a least Cagr growth in terms of Cash
to total deposits.
Investment to total Deposit: BOB has been best bank in terms of this ratio and Axis bank
have struggled to keep positive Cagr growth.
Sensitivity to Market Risk: All the banks have a β value more than 1 except HDFC bank
making all the other banks highly volatile to market risk.
Growth: There is positive growth in Cagr for most of the banks which is a positive sign.
CBI is the only bank with negative Cagr growth in Advances.
Liquidity: Liquidity of public sector banks has been better than private sector banks.
ICICI banks has been last in terms of liquidity.
Equity: Equity growth of public sector banks has fallen exponentially. SBI being the
only public sector banks with positive Cagr growth.
Strategy: Strategy of private sector banks has been better than public sector banks. Here
IndusInd bank outperforms every other banks.
Suggestions:
Capital is vital aspect of any Banking Institution. Risk Adequacy of Capital
desires to be targeted and aptly managed. Right here, Public sector Banks
discovered to be lagging behind their counter parts so it is cautioned that they
should give concern to their capital Management.
In case of net NPA public sector Banks has reached to horrendous level and they
should not delay in framing out effective policies and remedies to catch up with
the expectations to their depositors.
73
Every bank should develop its own “risk management system’ based on
CAMELS and EAGLES parameters. Risk management should also address
various relating to vulnerability in banks such as level of NPAs, exposure to
sensitive sectors, contingent liabilities, CRAR.
