AN ANALYSIS OF NON PERFORMING ASSETS OF INDIAN SCHEDULED COMMERCIAL BANKS

Abstract

Non-performing Asset breaks the recycling procedure of deposit and investment as it does not generate substantial income and blocks the cash flow. The motive of the paper is to conduct comparative analysis among Gross NPA, Net NPA, and Net Profit by adopting correlation, ANOVA, the average for selected bank groups which are analyzed in MS-EXCEL and SPSS. The aggregate data of 16 years from 2004-05 to 2019-20 is taken from the RBI website. Public Sector banks acquire more GNPA and NNPA and less Net Profit as compared to other two due to various reasons explained in this paper. Pearson correlation in SPSS shows that there is strongly negative and significant correlation between net profit and GNPA of public sector bank group which reflects that rising bad assets can reduce the banks’ profitability. But in case of foreign banks group, a strong but positive association between net profit and GNPA is observed. The Private bank group shows no significant association between these two variables. ANOVA test result shows there is a significant difference in the movement of GNPAs and NNPAs (in amounts) for different groups of banks during the study period. But in the case of Net profit, no significant difference was observed for these bank groups.
