Introduction to Banking Sector
India is not only the world's largest independent democracy, but it is also a rapidly
growing economic powerhouse. No country can have a stable economy without a
sound and efficient banking system. Banks play a critical role in a country's
economic growth. They collect people's unused savings and make them eligible for
investment. They're in the process of granting loans and purchasing investment
securities, new demand deposits are also established. Accepting and discounting
bills of exchange allows for trade both within and outside the country. Banks also
help to improve capital mobility. India's banking system has a long list of notable
accomplishments over the last three decades. It is no longer limited to the cities,
but has spread to even the most remote parts of the world. This is one of the factors
behind India's development. The banking industry is now one of India's most
important service industries. The availability of high-quality services is critical to
the economy's success. Banks' attention has turned away from customer acquisition
to customer retention. The introduction of Information Technology into the
banking sector has changed the way people work. The banking sector's policy has
undergone radical transformations, various customer-oriented products, such as
internet banking, are available. Customer’s workload has been reduced mainly
because of ATM providers, telebanking, and electronic payments. The internet's
convenience Banking allows a customer to access and manage his bank account
without having to go to the bank. 'The Customer's options have been
revolutionized by the availability of ATMs and credit/debit cards.

Definition of a Bank
A bank is a financial institution and a financial intermediary that accepts deposits and channels
those deposits into lending activities, either directly by loans or indirectly through capital
markets. (technofunc.com, 2013)
Types of Banks: Banks are classified as Public or Private depending on their ownership.
Innovative banking models such as transfers and small finance banks have recently been
introduced in the Indian banking industry. The RBI's new initiatives may go a long way toward
assisting the domestic banking industry's restructuring.

Market Size
The Indian banking system consists of 12 public sector banks, 22 private sector banks, 46
foreign banks, 56 regional rural banks, 1485 urban cooperative banks and 96,000 rural
cooperative banks in addition to cooperative credit institutions. As of September 2020, the total
number of ATMs in India increased to 210,049 and is further expected to increase to 407,000 by
2021. (banking sector in india, 2021)
Types of NPAs
Standard Assets
This is a type of performing asset that generates a steady stream of income and repayments as
they become due. These assets have a normal risk profile and are not NPAs in the traditional
sense. As a result, standard properties do not need any special requirements.
Sub-Standard Assets
These include loans and advances that have been classified as nonperforming assets for more
than a year.
Doubtful Assets
These are assets that have been deemed non-performing for a duration of more than 12 months.
Loss Assets
These are the assets that the lending institutions are unable to recover. (What is NPA and Types
of NPA, 2020)

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

International Reviews
Here are several factors that impact the profitability of banks (Sufian & Habibullah, 2010);
(Dietrich & Wanzenried, 2011). These factors can be broadly classified as either internal
determinants that originate within the firm such as bank size, capital, risk management, expenses
management, and diversification (Molyneux & Thornton, 1992); (BODLA & VERMA, 2006)
External determinants that are outside the firm like market concentration, industry size and
ownership, inflation, interest rates, money supply and Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
(Athanasoglou, Brissimis, & Delis, 2008); (Chirwa, 2003).
The effect of main internal factors on profitability has been studied in a number of studies
(Smirlock & Brown, 1986) investigated the profitability of demand deposits as a feature of total deposits.
Demand deposits seemed to have a substantial positive relationship with earnings, according to
their results. Loan loss provision and net charge offs had a major negative impact on large bank
profitability, according to Miller and Noulas (1997).
These findings revealed that asset and liability composition had an effect on net charge-offs. As a
result, commercial banks' asset liability portfolio decisions are likely to have an effect on their
profitability through net charge-offs. As a result, banks with higher wages and benefits will need
higher net interest margins to stay profitable. (S M Miller , A G Noulas, 1997)
(Ganesan, 2001) looked at the profitability of India's public sector banks and discovered that
interest costs, interest income, other income, deposits per branch, credit to total assets, and the
proportion of priority sector advances were all important determinants of profitability.
(ElBannay, 2004) looked into it
(BODLA & VERMA, 2006) attempted to define the core determinants of profitability of public
sector banks in India, and their findings revealed that non-interest income, operating expenses,
provision, and capital are all important factors. Net profits are inextricably linked to
contingencies and spread.
18 | P a g e
(Naceur, S, & Goaied, 2001)found that banks with relatively high capital and overhead expenses
have higher net-interest margins and profitability levels in a study of Tunisian banks from 1980
to 2000. They also discovered that the size of a bank has a negative impact on profitability,
moreover the stock exchange. Bank profitability increased as a result of the expansion.
Furthermore, private banks were discovered to be comparatively more profitable. They are more
successful than their government-owned counterparts.
(SUFIAN, 2009) looked at the factors that influenced Malaysian domestic and foreign
commercial bank profitability from 2000 to 2004. Malaysian banks with higher credit risk and
loan concentration have lower profitability rate, according to research. Banks with a higher
capitalization ratio, on the other hand, have a higher risk of failure. High running costs and a
high proportion of income from non-interest sources were found to be comparatively more
beneficial.
The effect of macroeconomic variables such as concentration, expansion, and inflation on bank
profitability is covered by external determinants of bank profitability (Rajan & Zingales, 1998);
(Athanasoglou, Brissimis, & Delis, 2008); (Chirwa, 2003) looked into the relationship between
market structure and consumer behavior and profitability of Malawi's commercial banks using
time series data from 1970 to 1994. The investigation demonstrates a long-term connection
between bank performance and concentration.
(SUFIAN, 2009) discovered that economic growth has a negative effect on Malaysian bank
profitability. Inflation rates that were higher had a positive effect on the profitability of these
banks. (Molyneux & Thornton, 1992) studied a survey of eighteen European countries. and
discovered that the return on equity and the level of interest rates have a significant positive
relationship on each nation, the concentration of banks, and the ownership of the government

National reviews
Avani Ojha and Hemchandra Jha- has conducted studies on the effect of NPAs on the operations
of the SBI and PNB using various research methods and analyzed the hypothesis based on the
entire study that NPAs play a significant role. Non-performing assets have a significant effect on
bank profitability because they are closely linked to efficiency. The profitability and asset
liability management of Indian banks. NPAs are the product of advances not being recovered or
not being recovered within a certain time frame for a given type of lending. They suggest that
banks analyze NPAs on a regular basis, by intent, borrower, country, and so on. Before
sanctioning, there should be methods and proper inspections of the creditors. (Ojha & Jha, 2018)
Dr. Ganesan and R. Santhanakrishnan has conducted a report on NPAs at the State Bank of India
from 2002-03 to 2011-12 with the aim of deploying capital, analyzing gross NPAs, investigating
the effects of NPAs, and recommending steps to monitor NPAs. They calculated the averages
and standard deviations to test the hypothesis, and the results were based on the desired
outcomes. They put the hypothesis to the test by estimating averages and standard deviations,
and then comparing the results to the desired outcomes. They discovered that the banking
industry has changed dramatically since the first phase of economic liberalization, and that credit
management has become increasingly important as a result. NPAs has increased with economic
growth and aggressive lending practices. (Santhankrishnan & Ganesan, 2013)
Manisha Raj, Aashita Jain, Shruti Bansal, and Tanya Verma conducted a report on
nonperforming assets (NPAs) and conducted a “A comparative study of SBI and ICICI Bank
from 2014-17.” They primarily conducted a report on nonperforming assets (NPAs) to examine
the pattern of NPAs at State Bank of India and ICICI Bank over a four-year period from 2014 to
2017. They also compared overall advances, net benefit, gross NPAs, and net NP from table to
table. They looked for a linear relationship between net profit and net NPAs in both banks during
the research. After conducting research, they came to the conclusion that managing non-
performing assets (NPAs) is a difficult challenge for any bank in the banking industry. After
analyzing the data for the given years, it appears that the biggest problem for both banks in terms
of liquidity is that NPAs have increased while profitability has decreased. Despite the fact that
SBI has a higher NPA ratio than ICICI Bank.
20 | P a g e
Since SBI is a public sector bank, it is more vulnerable to losing money if it extends loans to the
general public. In the case of ICICI Bank, their investigation discovered that no significant
benefit or loss has been reported, but that NPAs are periodically settled against the bank’s
profitability. In the event that SBI’s condition worsens as a result of rising NPAs. (RAJ, Jain,
Bansal, & Verma, 2018)
Swathi.M.S. and Sridhar.K. conducted a study of non-performing assets from 2007 to 2013 and
analyzed the methods for resolving NPAs for public sector banks, private sector banks, and other
types of banks. To conclude the analysis, they mostly relied on secondary data released by banks
at the end of each quarter and year, as well as the RBI annual reports. They have taken the net
and gross Non-Performing Assets to assess and find the facts and figures in the analysis using
data derived from secondary sources. They investigated the causes and factors that influence
NPAs. Willful defaults by customers of various banks is the key cause, according to the central
light. Other factors they discovered during the study included lenient lending norms, industrial
crises, fund diversification, higher debt and borrowing costs, and a sudden stock market
downturn. Lok Adalat, enactment of the SARFAESI Act, Asset Reconstruction Company,
corporate debt restructuring, and other solutions are also suggested by them to solve the
problems. (Swathi.M.S & Sridhar., 2019)
The first mention of bankers is that of the ‘Shroffs,’ ‘Seths,’ ‘Sahukars,’ ‘Mahajans,’ and
‘Chettis,’ who were doing similar work in the past. In her article on the history of banking,
Srivastava (2001) mentions the presence of these early forms of bankers. ‘Indian Banking
History’ is a book about the history of Indian banking. She goes on to say that these small
businesses were run by indigenous bankers. Their activities ranged from small money lenders to
Shroffs with massive conglomerates Corporations they ran are much bigger and more specialized
company than they did before even greater than an ordinary bank. (Shrivastava, 2001)
Tiwari (1959) investigated the growth and development of the Indian banking system. He claims
that Allahabad Bank (founded in 1865) was the first bank owned entirely by Indians, followed by
Punjab National Bank (1894). A large number of other banks like Bank of India, Central Bank of
India, and other Indian banks were founded between 1906 and 1913. Bank of Baroda, Canara
Bank, Indian Bank, and Bank of Mysore are some of the most well-known banks in India.
(Tiwari, 1959)
21 | P a g e
Following the Narasimham Committee’s recommendations, the profitability and growth of
Indian banks improved significantly. Deposits as a percentage of GDP increased from 48.6% in
1990 to 60.4 percent in 2010. In 2002, the credit rating rose from 29.5 percent to 39 percent.
(Radha, 2003)
According to Malayadri and Sirisha (2011), in their paper titled “A Comparative Study of
NonPerforming Assets in Indian Banking Industry,” there has been a rise in advances and a
decrease in the NPA ratio in both public and private sector banks, resulting in improved financial
performance. Quality of the asset They also came to the conclusion that the banks’ NPA
management had improved as a result of the study. The regulatory authorities implemented
prudential standards and measures. (Malayadri, Sirisha, & Pacha, 2011)
In their paper titled “NPAs Reduction Strategies for Commercial Banks in India,” Prasad and
Veena (2011) reported that NPAs have a negative effect on the ROA because they do not
produce any net interest income. As a result, bank profits are reduced, and recycling of waste is
limited. (Bhavani, G.V., Veena, & D, 2011)
The NPAs study comparing public and private sector banks was conducted by Kajal Chaudhari
and Monika Sharma in June 2011. To detect any diversion of funds, effective and regular
followup of the end usage of the funds sanctioned is needed. This procedure can be repeated
every quarter to ensure that any accounts that become NPA are properly accounted for.
(Chaudhari & Sharma, 2011)
Chetan Dudhe (August 2017) discovered a connection between gross nonperforming assets and
net profit. Every country has a problem with nonperforming loans, and financial institutions
should devise new strategies to boost loan recovery. Non-performing assets (NPAs) are
impacting financial institutions' financial and psychological results. (Dudhe, 2017)

DATA ANALYSIS
AND INTERPRETATION
27 | P a g e
Ratio analysis of SBI and HDFC bank from its annual reports for the year 2017-18,
2018-19 and 2019-20 is presented below-:
Gross non-performing assets- Gross non-performing assets refer to the total amount of the
debts that an organization has failed to collect or the people owing the organization has failed
to honor their contractual obligations of paying both the principal and interest amount.
Gross non-performing loans are the sum of all the loans that have been defaulted by the
individuals who have acquired loans from the financial institution. This means that all loans
defaulted are added together to form gross non-performing assets.

2022 2023 2024
Interpretation:
HDFC Bank’s Gross NPA ratio has shown a slight upward trend over the past three
years, but it is still considered low compared to industry averages, reflecting strong credit
risk management.
SBI has significantly improved its Gross NPA ratio over the past few years. The
reduction in NPAs from 5.44% in 2022 to 2.07% in 2024 is a positive sign that SBI has
been effectively managing asset quality, possibly due to better loan recoveries and
proactive provisioning.
29 | P a g e
2 NET NON PERFORMING ASSESTS RATIO
Net non-performing assets are the amount that is realized after provision amount has been
deducted from the gross non-performing assets. It is the actual loss that the organization incurs
after loan defaults.
Formula Net NPA Ratio = (Total Gross NPA) – (Provision for Unpaid
Debts)/Gross Advances

30 | P a g e
Interpretation:
HDFC Bank: The Net NPA Ratio for HDFC Bank remains significantly lower than that
of SBI. This indicates that HDFC Bank has a relatively small proportion of non-
performing assets after provisioning. Its consistent low ratio demonstrates strong asset
quality and effective risk management practices.
SBI: While SBI's Net NPA Ratio has improved over the years, it is still relatively higher
than that of HDFC Bank. This reflects the challenges of managing a larger portfolio of
assets with varied credit risk profiles, given SBI's size and extensive branch network.
However, the trend of decreasing NPAs for SBI over the last few years indicates a
positive trajectory in improving asset quality.
31 | P a g e
II Efficiency Ratios
Efficiency ratios measure a company’s ability to use its assets and manage its liabilities
effectively in the current period or in the short-term. These ratios measure how efficiently a
company uses its assets to generate revenues and its ability to manage those assets.
The efficiency ratio of a bank can be used to determine how efficient a bank is. This reveals the
financial health of the institution.

HDFC Bank: The Asset Turnover Ratio for HDFC Bank remained relatively stable
over the 3 years, with a slight increase from 8.65% in 2022 to 8.80% in 2023, and a
slight decrease to 8.55% in 2024
SBI's Bank Asset Turnover Ratio improved from 6.92% in 2022 to 8.37% in 2023,
indicating that it became more efficient in asset utilization.
33 | P a g e
Cost-to-Income Ratio (CIR)
It is a key financial metric used to assess the efficiency of a company, especially banks
and financial institutions, in managing its operating costs relative to its income. It
indicates how well a company controls its expenses while generating revenue.
A lower CIR signifies higher efficiency, as the company is generating more income for
every unit of cost.
A higher CIR suggests inefficiency, as the company is spending a larger portion of its
income on operating costs.

Interpretation:
HDFC Bank maintains a relatively low cost-to-income ratio, reflecting its operational
efficiency. A slight increase in 2023 can be attributed to increased costs amid economic
pressures, but it improved slightly in 2024.
SBI has been making progress in reducing its cost-to-income ratio, showing that it is
improving efficiency. A ratio in the low 50s is still high compared to HDFC Bank, but
the downward trend is a positive sign.

HDFC Bank showed an increase in Asset Utilization Ratio from 8.00% in 2022 to
9.00% in 2023, indicating improved efficiency in using its assets to generate revenue.
The ratio returned to 8.00% in 2024, suggesting a slight dip in asset efficiency, but still
reflecting stable and efficient use of assets overall.
SBI Bank
SBI showed a steady improvement from 6.00% in 2022 to 7.00% in both 2023 and 2024.
This improvement indicates better utilization of assets over the years, reflecting a more
efficient generation of revenue relative to its total assets.

III Leverage Financial Ratios
Leverage ratios measure the amount of capital that comes from debt. In other words, leverage
financial ratios are used to evaluate a company’s debt level
The debt to equity ratio is a type of leverage ratio that calculates the weight of total debt and
financial liabilities against shareholders’ equity. The ideal debt to equity ratio is 2:1 (because the
cost of debt is lower than the cost of equity.)

37 | P a g e
Interpretation:
HDFC Bank: HDFC has a relatively higher debt-to-equity ratio, suggesting that the
bank relies more on debt to finance its operations. A ratio of around 1.10 indicates a
moderate level of debt compared to its equity, meaning it uses debt efficiently to leverage
its operations, but it also exposes itself to higher risk if economic conditions worsen.
SBI: SBI's debt-to-equity ratio has been lower than HDFC Bank's, particularly with a
ratio around 0.75-0.80. This indicates that SBI relies less on debt financing and has a
more conservative approach to leveraging its operations. A lower ratio typically implies
reduced financial risk but might limit growth potential if the bank is not leveraging debt
effectively to fund expansions or investments.
38 | P a g e
IV Profitability Ratios
Profitability ratios measure a company’s ability to generate income relative to revenue, balance
sheet assets, operating costs, and equity. Common profitability financial ratios include the
following:
Operating profit ratio is a profitability or performance ratio that compares the operating
income of a company to its net sales to determine operating efficiency.

HDFC Bank: The Operating Profit Ratio increased significantly from 26.99% in 2022
to 75.96% in 2024, showing a strong improvement in operational efficiency and
profitability, especially in 2024.
SBI: After a ratio of 2.21% in 2022, SBI made a remarkable recovery, reaching 10.21
% in 2023 and 8.05 % in 2024, indicating a strong improvement in core operational
performance.
Overall, HDFC Bank showed consistent growth, while SBI recovered from initial challenges to
achieve solid profitability.
The gross profit ratio compares the gross profit of a company to its net sales to show how much
profit a company makes after paying its cost of goods sold

SBI also demonstrates an upward trend in its Gross Profit Ratio, moving from 40%
in 2022 to 45% in 2024. This shows that SBI has been steadily improving its
profitability over time, though it lags behind HDFC Bank in terms of the ratio. The
improvement reflects better management of expenses and enhanced revenue
generation.

V Liquidity Ratios
Current Ratio
The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company’s ability to pay off short-term
short
This ratio measures the financial strength of the
obligations or those due within one year. This
company. Generally 2:1 is treated as the ideal current ratio.

General Findings:
HDFC Bank is more efficient and profitable, with better asset quality
and lower NPAs compared to SBI.
SBI has improved significantly in asset quality (lower NPAs) and
operational efficiency (lower CIR).
SBI has higher operating costs compared to HDFC Bank but has shown
steady improvement in reducing its CIR.
HDFC Bank’s profitability is higher, but its liquidity position weakened
in 2024.
SBI is making strategic improvements but still faces challenges in terms
of efficiency and profitability.
Conclusion:
HDFC Bank remains the stronger performer overall due to its low
NPAs, high profitability, and operational efficiency.
SBI has made significant progress in reducing its NPAs and improving
operational efficiency, but it still lags behind HDFC in terms of
profitability and cost control.
Both banks show positive financial trends, with SBI improving in asset
quality and cost efficiency, while HDFC Bank maintains its leadership
in profitability and risk management.
Going forward, SBI should focus on further improving profitability and
efficiency, while HDFC Bank needs to strengthen its liquidity position
