A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF GROSS NPA OF STATE BANK GROUP & FOREIGN BANKS
Gross NPAs of State Bank Group exhibit an increasing trend but incase of Foreign Banks gross NPAs continue to rise up to the year 2009 and thereafter it falls. Advancement in technology, telecommunications and markets have changed the way banks collect, measure and manage their risks. As risk management becomes more sophisticated, the simple and static rules of 1998 Accord are becoming less relevant, Which needed a new capital framework and ways to manage risks. To solve these problems, Basel-II framework is an indicator approach for risk management. The study is based on secondary data. The scope of the study is limited to five years data.
EVALUATING THE PERFORMANCE OF INDIAN PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS AND PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS - A COMPARATIVE STUDY
The economic reforms in India started in early nineties, but their outcome is visible now. Major changes took place in the functioning of Banks in India only after liberalization, globalisation and privatisation. It has become very mandatory to study and to make a comparative analysis of services of Public sector Banks and Private Sector banks. Increased competition, new information technologies and thereby declining processing costs, the erosion of product and geographic boundaries, and less restrictive governmental regulations have all played a major role for Public Sector Banks in India to forcefully compete with Private and Foreign Banks. this paper an attempt to analyze how efficiently Public and Private sector banks have been managing NPA. We have used statistical tools for projection of trend. Index Terms—NPA, Profitability, Public Sector banks, private Sector banks. The last d ecade has seen many positive developments in the Indian banking sector. The policy makers, which comprise the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Ministry of Finance and related government and financial sector regulatory entities, have made several notable efforts to improve regulation in the sector. The sector now compares favourably with banking sectors in the region on metrics like growth, profitability and non-performing assets (NPAs). A few banks have established an outstanding track record of innovation, growth and value creation. Banking in India was defined under Section 5(A) as "any company which transacts banking, business" and the purpose of banking business defined under Section 5(B),"accepting deposits of money from public for the purpose of lending or investing, repayable on demand through cheque/draft or otherwise".

During Bruisers' time, three Presidencies' Banks were opened in Bengal (1809), Bombay (1840) and Madras (1843) with powers to issue Notes. In the year 1921, due to banking crisis during First World War, the three Presidency Banks merged to form Imperial Bank of India. In the year 1955, after Independence, Imperial Bank of India was nationalized and renamed as State Bank of India (SBI) with a primary mandate to go to rural areas by opening at least 400 branches immediately. In the year 1957, the seven banks that were earlier catering to the rulers of different areas or States viz., Patiala, Bikaner, Jaipur, Indore, Saurashtra,
The performance of universal banks: Evidence from Switzerland
This paper examines the production structure of Swiss banks in the period 1996-99. Using a variety of output specifications, we find evidence of large relative inefficiencies across Swiss banks. The results show the importance of accounting for the broad range of activities that universal banks undertake, e.g., failure to account for off-balance sheet items, trading, and brokerage and portfolio management activities leads profit efficiency to be dramatically understated. We find evidence of economies of scale for small and mid-size banks, but little evidence that significant scale economies remain for the very largest banks. Finally, evidence on scope economies is weak for the largest banks that are involved in a wide variety of activities. These results suggest few obvious benefits from the trend toward larger universal banks.
