Abstract

Since 1991, public sector banks began to emphasize profitability objective in order to strengthen their net worth and financial health as necessitated under financial reforms, and therefore, the analysis is in terms of three profitability ratios—return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and profit margin (PM) for the period from 1991–1992 to 2014–2015. Positive trend in growth rates of these indicators suggested the favourable impact of banking reforms over the period. ROA of the public sector banks improved by 0.06% points, ROA annually by 1.05% points and PM by 0.69% points per year. Among determinants of banks’ profitability, significant factors were credit quality and management of funds.
