Introduction:

Banking sector is known as back bone of any country’s economy because it plays a very key role in the development of any sector in the country. This sector has been growing very fast during the last decades. Means in the last decade there has been many positive developments in the Indian banking sector. In India we have mixture of three banking sector industry like public, private and foreign ownerships.

In this study we have taken 7 new private sector out of total 25 private sector banks in India. Here in this study we have tried to measure the financial performance of new private sector banks working in India. And also we tried to find out credit worthiness and soundness of the banks by applying the different parameter. This study is for the duration of 12 years starting from 2001 to 2012.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY:

Indian Banking sector plays a very crucial role in the development of economics stability and trading activities in India. We can say that Indian banking sector is a vibrant sector of Indian economy. Due to the global explosion, Indian private sector bank has boasted the growth. Private sector banks have been performing well since they have to compete with the public sector banks and foreign banks.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

In this research study we have selected the following ratios which fulfill the objectives of the study. The ratios are being calculated by the data available on the concerned website. As research study require the banks wise analysis so for the fulfilment of this objective we have used one way ANOVA test.

  1. Capital adequacy ratio (CAR)
  2. Current ratio (CR)
  3. Earning per share (EPS)
  4. Net profit margin (NPM)
  5. Dividend per share (DPS)
CAPITAL ADEQUACY RATIO:

Capital adequacy ratio (CAR) is also known as capital to risk assets ratio. CAR is the ratio of a bank’s capital to its risk. Capital adequacy ratio is the ratio which determined the bank’s capacity to meet the time liability and other risk such as credit risk, operational risk etc.

FORMULA:

Capital adequacy ratios (CARs) are a measure of the amount of a bank’s core capital expressed as a percentage of its risk weighted assets.


TIER 1 CAPITAL =
Paid up capital + statutory reserve + free reserve – (intangible assets + current losses + investment in subsidiary)

TIER 2 CAPITAL =
Undisclosed reserve + general loss reserves + cap. Investment

RISK WEIGHTED ASSETS =
Fund based assets such as cash, loans, investments and other assets and also it include non fund based assets.

CURRENT RATIO:

Current ratio is an indicator of short term debt-paying ability of a bank. Current ratio used primarily to ascertain a bank’s ability to pay back its short-term liability. The higher the current ratio, the better the bank’s ability to pay its obligations. The higher the ratio, the more liquid the bank is. A ratio under 1 suggests that the bank would be unable to pay off its obligations if they came due at that point. Although this may indicate that the bank is not in good financial health, it does not necessarily mean that it will go bankrupt. But it is not good sign. The current ratio can give a sense of the efficiency of a bank’s operating cycle. The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities.

From the above table we can say that ICICI bank give highest dividend per share than the remaining six banks and DCB give the lowest dividend per share during the study period. On an average ICICI Banks give 9.208 and AXIX (6.416), HDFC (6.608), INDUSIND (1.379), DCB (0.75), YES (1), KOTAK (1.366) during the study period. Which state that ICICI banks try to maintain their credit on the investors by giving high dividend and DCB fails to maintain their credit on the investor as it gives the lowest among the all 7 new private sector banks.
