PREFACE
We know that final the project is for the development and enhancement of the knowledge in
particular field. It can never be possible to make a mark in today’s competitive era only
with theoretical knowledge when industries are developing at global level, practical
knowledge of administration and management of business is very important. Hence,
practical study is of great importance to PGDM student.
With a view to expand the boundaries of thinking, we have done 4th SEM FINAL
PROJECT at three banks i.e. AXIS bank, Gandhidham Co-operative Bank and Bank of
India. We have made deliberate efforts to collect the required information and fulfill project
objectives.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In today’s scenario, the banking sector is one of the fastest growing sector and a lot of funds
are invested in Banks. Also today’s banking system is becoming more complex. So, we
thought of evaluating the performance of the banks. There are so many models of
evaluating the performance of the banks, but we have chosen the CAMELS Model to
evaluate the performance of the banks. We have read a lot of books and found it the best
model because it measures the performance of the banks from each parameter i.e. Capital,
Assets, Management, Earnings and Liquidity
After deciding the model, we have chosen three banks from the three different sectors, i.e.
AXIS Bank from Private Sector, Gandhidham Co-operative Bank from co-operative banks
and Bank of India from the public sector. Then we have collected annual reports of the
consecutive five years i.e. 2004-05 to 2008-09 of all the banks. And we have calculated
ratios for all the banks and interpreted them.
After that we have given weightage to each parameter of the CAMELS
Model. According to their importance and our understandings, we have allocated weightage
to the each ratios of the each parameter. From the weighted results of each ratio, we have
given marks on the bases of the performance of the bank. And after addition of all the
marks, we have given the rank 1, 2 and 3 to the banks.
As per the whole evaluation, we gave 1st rank to AXIS Bank, 2nd rank to Bank of India and
3rd rank to Gandhidham Co-operative Bank.

INTRODUCTION OF BANKING SECTOR
Rating The Performance of the Bank through CAMELS Model
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 11
1.1) The Bank
The word bank means an organization where people and business can invest or borrow
money; change it to foreign currency etc. According to Halsbury “A Banker is an
individual, Partnership or Corporation whose sole pre-dominant business is banking, that is
the receipt of money on current or deposit account, and the payment of cheque drawn and
the collection of cheque paid in by a customer.’’
1.2) The Origin and Use of Banks
The Word ‘Bank’ is derived from the Italian word ‘Banko’ signifying a bench, which was
erected in the market-place, where it was customary to exchange money. The Lombard
Jews were the first to practice this exchange business, the first bench having been
established in Italy A.D. 808. Some authorities assert that the Lombard merchants
commenced the business of money-dealing, employing bills of exchange as remittances,
about the beginning of the thirteenth century.
About the middle of the twelfth century it became evident, as the advantage of coined
money was gradually acknowledged, that there must be some controlling power, some
corporation which would undertake to keep the coins that were to bear the royal stamp up to
a certain standard of value; as, independently of the ‘sweating’ which invention may place
to the credit of the ingenuity of the Lombard merchants- all coins will, by wear or abrasion,
become thinner, and consequently less valuable; and it is of the last importance, not only for
the credit of a country, but for the easier regulation of commercial transactions, that the
metallic currency be kept as nearly as possible up to the legal standard. Much unnecessary
trouble and annoyance has been caused formerly by negligence in this respect. The gradual
merging of the business of a goldsmith into a bank appears to have been the way in which
banking, as we now understand the term, was introduced into England; and it was not until
long after the establishment of banks in other countries-for state purposes, the regulation of
the coinage, etc. that any large or similar institution was introduced into England. It is only
within the last twenty years that printed cheques have been in use in that establishment.
First commercial bank was Bank of Venice which was established in 1157 in Italy.

1.3) THE BANKING REFORMS
In 1991, the Indian economy went through a process of economic liberalization, which was
followed up by the initiation of fundamental reforms in the banking sector in 1992. The
banking reform package was based on the recommendations proposed by the Narasimham
Committee Report (1991) that advocated a move to a more market oriented banking system,
which would operate in an environment of prudential regulation and transparent accounting.
One of the primary motives behind this drive was to introduce an element of market
discipline into the regulatory process that would reinforce the supervisory effort of the
Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Market discipline, especially in the financial liberalization
phase, reinforces regulatory and supervisory efforts and provides a strong incentive to banks
to conduct their business in a prudent and efficient manner and to maintain adequate capital
as a cushion against risk exposures. Recognizing that the success of economic reforms was
contingent on the success of financial sector reform as well, the government initiated a
fundamental banking sector reform package in 1992.
Banking sector, the world over, is known for the adoption of multidimensional strategies
from time to time with varying degrees of success. Banks are very important for the smooth
functioning of financial markets as they serve as repositories of vital financial information
and can potentially alleviate the problems created by information asymmetries. From a
central bank’s perspective, such high-quality disclosures help the early detection of
problems faced by banks in the market and reduce the severity of market disruptions.
Consequently, the RBI as part and parcel of the financial sector deregulation, attempted to
enhance the transparency of the annual reports of Indian banks by, among other things,
introducing stricter income recognition and asset classification rules, enhancing the capital
adequacy norms, and by requiring a number of additional disclosures sought by investors to
make better cash flow and risk assessments.
During the pre economic reforms period, commercial banks & development financial
institutions were functioning distinctly, the former specializing in short & medium term
financing, while the latter on long term lending & project financing. Commercial banks
were accessing short term low cost funds thru savings investments like current accounts,
savings bank accounts & short duration fixed deposits, besides collection float.
Development Financial Institutions (DFIs) on the other hand, were essentially depending on
Rating The Performance of the Bank through CAMELS Model
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 13
budget allocations for long term lending at a concessionary rate of interest. The scenario has
changed radically during the post reforms period, with the resolve of the government not to
fund the DFIs through budget allocations. DFIs like IDBI, IFCI & ICICI had posted dismal
financial results. Infect, their very viability has become a question mark. Now, they have
taken the route of reverse merger with IDBI bank & ICICI bank thus converting them into
the universal banking system.

1.4) BASEL - II ACCORD
Bank capital framework sponsored by the world's central banks designed to promote
uniformity, make regulatory capital more risk sensitive, and promote enhanced risk
management among large, internationally active banking organizations. The International
Capital Accord, as it is called, will be fully effective by January 2008 for banks active in
international markets. Other banks can choose to "opt in," or they can continue to follow the
minimum capital guidelines in the original Basel Accord, finalized in 1988. The revised
accord (Basel II) completely overhauls the 1988 Basel Accord and is based on three
mutually supporting concepts, or "pillars," of capital adequacy. The first of these pillars is
an explicitly defined regulatory capital requirement, a minimum capital-to-asset ratio equal
to at least 8% of risk-weighted assets. Second, bank supervisory agencies, such as the
Comptroller of the Currency, have authority to adjust capital levels for individual banks
above the 9% minimum when necessary. The third supporting pillar calls upon market
discipline to supplement reviews by banking agencies.
Basel II is the second of the Basel Accords, which are recommendations on banking laws
and regulations issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The purpose of
Basel II, which was initially published in June 2004, is to create an international standard
that banking regulators can use when creating regulations about how much capital banks
need to put aside to guard against the types of financial and operational risks banks face.
Advocates of Basel II believe that such an international standard can help protect the
international financial system from the types of problems that might arise should a major
bank or a series of banks collapse. In practice, Basel II attempts to accomplish this by
setting up rigorous risk and capital management requirements designed to ensure that a
bank holds capital reserves appropriate to the risk the bank exposes itself to through its
lending and investment practices. Generally speaking, these rules mean that the greater risk
to which the bank is exposed, the greater the amount of capital the bank needs to hold to
safeguard its solvency and overall economic stability.
Rating The Performance of the Bank through CAMELS Model
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 15
The final version aims at:
1. Ensuring that capital allocation is more risk sensitive;
2. Separating operational risk from credit risk, and quantifying both;
3. Attempting to align economic and regulatory capital more closely to reduce the scope
for regulatory arbitrage.
While the final accord has largely addressed the regulatory arbitrage issue, there are still
areas where regulatory capital requirements will diverge from the economic.
Basel II has largely left unchanged the question of how to actually define bank capital,
which diverges from accounting equity in important respects. The Basel I definition, as
modified up to the present, remains in place.
The Accord in operation
Basel II uses a "three pillars" concept – (1) minimum capital requirements (addressing risk),
(2) supervisory review and (3) market discipline – to promote greater stability in the
financial system.
The Basel I accord dealt with only parts of each of these pillars. For example: with respect
to the first Basel II pillar, only one risk, credit risk, was dealt with in a simple manner while
market risk was an afterthought; operational risk was not dealt with at all.
The First Pillar
The first pillar deals with maintenance of regulatory capital calculated for three major
components of risk that a bank faces: credit risk, operational risk and market risk. Other
risks are not considered fully quantifiable at this stage.
The credit risk component can be calculated in three different ways of varying degree of
sophistication, namely standardized approach, Foundation IRB and Advanced IRB. IRB
stands for "Internal Rating-Based Approach".
For operational risk, there are three different approaches - basic indicator approach,
standardized approach and advanced measurement approach. For market risk the preferred
approach is VaR (value at risk).
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF
As the Basel II recommendations are phased in by the banking industry it will move from
standardized requirements to more refined and specific requirements that have been
developed for each risk category by each individual bank. The upside for banks that do
develop their own bespoke risk measurement systems is that they will be rewarded with
potentially lower risk capital requirements. In future there will be closer links between the
concepts of economic profit and regulatory capital.

The standardized approach sets out specific risk weights for certain types of credit risk. The
standard risk weight categories are used under Basel 1 and are 0% for short term
government bonds, 20% for exposures to OECD Banks, 50% for residential mortgages and
100% weighting on commercial loans. A new 150% rating comes in for borrowers with
poor credit ratings. The minimum capital requirement (the percentage of risk weighted
assets to be held as capital) has remains at 8%.
For those Banks that decide to adopt the standardized ratings approach they will be forced
to rely on the ratings generated by external agencies. Certain Banks are developing the IRB
approach as a result.
The Second Pillar
The second pillar deals with the regulatory response to the first pillar, giving regulators
much improved 'tools' over those available to them under Basel I. It also provides a
framework for dealing with all the other risks a bank may face, such as systemic risk,
which the accord combines under the title of residual risk. It gives banks a power to review
their risk management system.
The Third Pillar
The third pillar greatly increases the disclosures that the bank must make. This is designed
to allow the market to have a better picture of the overall risk position of the bank and to
allow the counterparties of the bank to price and deal appropriately. The new Basel Accord
has its foundation on three mutually reinforcing pillars that allow banks and bank
supervisors to evaluate properly the various risks that banks face and realign regulatory
capital more closely with underlying risks. The first pillar is compatible with the credit risk,
market risk and operational risk. The regulatory capital will be focused on these three risks.
The second pillar gives the bank responsibility to exercise the best ways to manage the risk
specific to that bank. Concurrently, it also casts responsibility on the supervisors to review
and validate banks’ risk measurement models. The third pillar on market discipline is used
to leverage the influence that other market players can bring. This is aimed at improving the
transparency in banks and improves reporting.

2.2) BANK OF INDIA
Bank of India was founded on 7th September, 1906 by a group of eminent businessmen
from Mumbai. The Bank was under private ownership and control till July 1969 when it
was nationalized along with 13 other banks.
Beginning with one office in Mumbai, with a paid-up capital of Rs.50 lakh and 50
employees, the Bank has made a rapid growth over the years and blossomed into a mighty
institution with a strong national presence and sizable international operations. In business
volume, the Bank occupies a premier position among the nationalised banks.
The Bank has 3101 branches in India spread over all states/ union territories including 141
specialized branches. These branches are controlled through 48 Zonal Offices . There are 29
branches/ offices (including three representative offices) abroad.
The Bank came out with its maiden public issue in 1997 and follow on Qualified
Institutions Placement in February 2008. . Total number of shareholders as on 30/09/2009 is
Rs. 2,15,790.
While firmly adhering to a policy of prudence and caution, the Bank has been in the
forefront of introducing various innovative services and systems. Business has been
conducted with the successful blend of traditional values and ethics and the most modern
infrastructure. The Bank has been the first among the nationalized banks to establish a fully
computerized branch and ATM facility at the Mahalaxmi Branch at Mumbai way back in
1989. The Bank is also a Founder Member of SWIFT in India. It pioneered the introduction
of the Health Code System in 1982, for evaluating/ rating its credit portfolio.
The Bank's association with the capital market goes back to 1921 when it entered into an
agreement with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) to manage the BSE Clearing House. It
is an association that has blossomed into a joint venture with BSE, called the BOI
Shareholding Ltd. to extend depository services to the stock broking community. Bank of
India was the first Indian Bank to open a branch outside the country, at London, in 1946,
and also the first to open a branch in Europe, Paris in 1974. The Bank has sizable presence
abroad, with a network of 29 branches (including five representative offices) at key banking
and financial centers viz. London, Newyork, Paris, Tokyo, Hong-Kong and Singapore. The
international business accounts for around 17.82% of Bank's total business.

§ Under the Benevolent Programmed of welfare of members, the bank had introduced a
scheme, according to which in the event of the death of the shareholders, who had
remained continuously the member of the bank for the last four years, the family of
deceased will be paid a lump sum grant of Rs. 10,000 by the Bank and Rs 50,000 will
be granted in the case of an accidental death. During the year, 68 shareholders have been
granted the benefit under above scheme and the total expenditure incurred during the
year was Rs. 8,00,000.
§ The bank has increased a number of medical centers to enable member to avail services
from their nearby places in case of Nil. The total expenditure incurred during the year
on the medical aid was Rs. 8,30,000.
§ It has been bank’s endeavor to encourage the children of Shareholders in their academic
pursuits. In this context the cash prizes are awarded every year to the meritorious
students who secure highest marks in SSC and higher examination. The scheme of
payment of scholarship to the excel student has also been liberalized. Accordingly, the
children of shareholders studying after 12th up to graduate anywhere in India are also
entitled to get the benefit of scholarship.
§ As usual, this year too, the bank has significantly contributed and encouraged social,
religious and other activities in the form of donation, prizes, and advertisement etc. for
the benefit of general public of Adipur/Gandhidham Township.
Technology Development
Due to up-gradation of software of the computers of the Banks it has been possible to link
both Adipur/Gandhidham branch online (Core Banking Solution). After this up-gradation,
the customers will be able to transact at any of the branches for account maintain whether
HO or Branch which leads to the saving of Time and Energy of all valued customers,
shareholders and Depositors.

CAMELS FRAMEWORK
During an on-site bank exam, supervisors gather private information, such as details on
problem loans, with which to evaluate a bank's financial condition and to monitor its
compliance with laws and regulatory policies. A key product of such an exam is a
supervisory rating of the bank's overall condition, commonly referred to as a CAMELS
rating. The acronym "CAMEL" refers to the five components of a bank's condition that are
assessed: Capital adequacy, Asset quality, Management, Earnings, and Liquidity. A sixth
component, a bank's Sensitivity to market risk was added in 1997; hence the acronym was
changed to CAMELS.
CAMELS is basically a ratio-based model for evaluating the performance of banks. Various
ratios forming this model are explained below:
3.1) C- Capital Adequacy:
Capital base of financial institutions facilitates depositors in forming their risk perception
about the institutions. Also, it is the key parameter for financial managers to maintain
adequate levels of capitalization. Moreover, besides absorbing unanticipated shocks, it
signals that the institution will continue to honor its obligations. The most widely used
indicator of capital adequacy is capital to risk-weighted assets ratio (CRWA). According to
Bank Supervision Regulation Committee (The Basle Committee) of Bank for International
Settlements, a minimum 9 percent CRWA is required.
Capital adequacy ultimately determines how well financial institutions can cope with
shocks to their balance sheets. Thus, it is useful to track capital-adequacy ratios that take
into account the most important financial risks—foreign exchange, credit, and interest rate
risks—by assigning risk weightings to the institution’s assets.
A sound capital base strengthens confidence of depositors. This ratio is used to protect
depositors and promote the stability and efficiency of financial systems around the world.
The following ratios measure capital adequacy:
Rating The Performance of the Bank through CAMELS Model
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 27
Ø Capital Risk Adequacy Ratio:
CRAR is a ratio of Capital Fund to Risk Weighted Assets. Reserve Bank of India prescribes
Banks to maintain a minimum Capital to risk-weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR) of 9 % with
regard to credit risk, market risk and operational risk on an ongoing basis, as against 8 %
prescribed in Basel documents.
Total capital includes tier-I capital and Tier-II capital. Tier-I capital includes paid up equity
capital, free reserves, intangible assets etc. Tier-II capital includes long term unsecured
loans, loss reserves, hybrid debt capital instruments etc. The higher the CRAR, the stronger
is considered a bank, as it ensures high safety against bankruptcy.
CRAR = Capital/ Total Risk Weighted Credit Exposure
Ø Debt Equity Ratio:
This ratio indicates the degree of leverage of a bank. It indicates how much of the bank
business is financed through debt and how much through equity. This is calculated as the
proportion of total asset liability to net worth. ‘Outside liability’ includes total borrowing,
deposits and other liabilities. ‘Net worth’ includes equity capital and reserve and surplus.
Higher the ratio indicates less protection for the creditors and depositors in the banking
system.
Borrowings/ (Share Capital + reserves)
Ø Total Advance to Total Asset Ratio:
This is the ratio of the total advanced to total asset. This ratio indicates banks
aggressiveness in lending which ultimately results in better profitability. Higher ratio of
advances of bank deposits (assets) is preferred to a lower one. Total advances also include
receivables. The value of total assets is excluding the revolution of all the assets.
Total Advances/ Total Asset
Rating The Performance of the Bank through CAMELS Model
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 28
Ø Government Securities to Total Investments:
The percentage of investment in government securities to total investment is a very
important indicator, which shows the risk taking ability of the bank. It indicates a bank’s
strategy as being high profit high risk or low profit low risk. It also gives a view as to the
availability of alternative investment opportunities. Government securities are generally
considered as the most safe debt instrument, which, as a result, carries the lowest return.
Since government securities are risk free, the higher the government security to investment
ratio, the lower the risk involved in a bank’s investments.
Government Securities/ Total Investment
3.2) A – Asset Quality:
Asset quality determines the healthiness of financial institutions against loss of value in the
assets. The weakening value of assets, being prime source of banking problems, directly
pour into other areas, as losses are eventually written-off against capital, which ultimately
expose the earning capacity of the institution. With this backdrop, the asset quality is
gauged in relation to the level and severity of non-performing assets, adequacy of
provisions, recoveries, distribution of assets etc. Popular indicators include nonperforming
loans to advances, loan default to total advances, and recoveries to loan default ratios.
The solvency of financial institutions typically is at risk when their assets become impaired,
so it is important to monitor indicators of the quality of their assets in terms of overexposure
to specific risks, trends in nonperforming loans, and the health and profitability of bank
borrowers— especially the corporate sector. Share of bank assets in the aggregate financial
sector assets: In most emerging markets, banking sector assets comprise well over 80 per
cent of total financial sector assets, whereas these figures are much lower in the developed
economies. Furthermore, deposits as a share of total bank liabilities have declined since
1990 in many developed countries, while in developing countries public deposits continue
to be dominant in banks. In India, the share of banking assets in total financial sector assets
is around 75 per cent, as of end-March 2008. There is, no doubt, merit in recognizing the
importance of diversification in the institutional and instrument-specific aspects of financial
intermediation in the interests of wider choice, competition and stability. However, the
dominant role of banks in financial intermediation in emerging economies and particularly
Rating The Performance of the Bank through CAMELS Model
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 29
in India will continue in the medium-term; and the banks will continue to be “special” for a
long time. In this regard, it is useful to emphasize the dominance of banks in the developing
countries in promoting non-bank financial intermediaries and services including in
development of debt-markets. Even where role of banks is apparently diminishing in
emerging markets, substantively, they continue to play a leading role in non-banking
financing activities, including the development of financial markets.
One of the indicators for asset quality is the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans.
Higher ratio is indicative of poor credit decision-making.
NPA: Non-Performing Assets:
Advances are classified into performing and non-performing advances (NPAs) as per RBI
guidelines. NPAs are further classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets based on
the criteria stipulated by RBI. An asset, including a leased asset, becomes nonperforming
when it ceases to generate income for the Bank.
An NPA is a loan or an advance where:
1. Interest and/or installment of principal remains overdue for a period of more than 90
days in respect of a term loan;
2. The account remains "out-of-order'' in respect of an Overdraft or Cash Credit
(OD/CC);
3. The bill remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days in case of bills purchased
and discounted;
4. A loan granted for short duration crops will be treated as an NPA if the installments
of principal or interest thereon remain overdue for two crop seasons; and
5. A loan granted for long duration crops will be treated as an NPA if the installments
of principal or interest thereon remain overdue for one crop season.
The Bank classifies an account as an NPA only if the interest imposed during any quarter is
not fully repaid within 90 days from the end of the relevant quarter. This is a key to the
stability of the banking sector. There should be no hesitation in stating that Indian banks
have done a remarkable job in containment of non-performing loans (NPL) considering the
overhang issues and overall difficult environment.
Rating The Performance of the Bank through CAMELS Model
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 30
The following ratios are necessary to assess the asset quality.
Ø Gross NPA ratio:
This ratio is used to check whether the bank's gross NPAs are increasing quarter on quarter
or year on year. If it is, indicating that the bank is adding a fresh stock of bad loans. It
would mean the bank is either not exercising enough caution when offering loans or is too
lax in terms of following up with borrowers on timely repayments.
Gross NPA/ Total Loan
Ø Net NPA ratio:
Net NPAs reflect the performance of banks. A high level of NPAs suggests high probability
of a large number of credit defaults that affect the profitability and net-worth of banks and
also wear down the value of the asset.
Loans and advances usually represent the largest asset of most of the banks. It monitors the
quality of the banks loan portfolio. The higher the ratio, the higher the credits risk.
Net NPA/ Total Loan
3.3) M – Management:
Management of financial institution is generally evaluated in terms of capital adequacy,
asset quality, earnings and profitability, liquidity and risk sensitivity ratings. In addition,
performance evaluation includes compliance with set norms, ability to plan and react to
changing circumstances, technical competence, leadership and administrative ability.
Sound management is one of the most important factors behind financial institutions’
performance. Indicators of quality of management, however, are primarily applicable to
individual institutions, and cannot be easily aggregated across the sector. Furthermore,
given the qualitative nature of management, it is difficult to judge its soundness just by
looking at financial accounts of the banks.
Nevertheless, total advance to total deposit, business per employee and profit per employee
helps in gauging the management quality of the banking institutions. Several indicators,
however, can jointly serve—as, for instance, efficiency measures do—as an indicator of
Rating The Performance of the Bank through CAMELS Model
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 31
management soundness. The ratios used to evaluate management efficiency are described as
under:
Ø Total Advance to Total Deposit Ratio:
This ratio measures the efficiency and ability of the banks management in converting the
deposits available with the banks (excluding other funds like equity capital, etc.) into high
earning advances. Total deposits include demand deposits, saving deposits, term deposit and
deposit of other bank. Total advances also include the receivables.
Total Advance/ Total Deposit
Ø Business per Employee:
Revenue per employee is a measure of how efficiently a particular bank is utilizing its
employees. Ideally, a bank wants the highest business per employee possible, as it denotes
higher productivity. In general, rising revenue per employee is a positive sign that suggests
the bank is finding ways to squeeze more sales/revenues out of each of its employee.
Total Income/ No. of Employees
Ø Profit per Employee:
This ratio shows the surplus earned per employee. It is arrived at by dividing profit after tax
earned by the bank by the total number of employee. The higher the ratio shows good
efficiency of the management.
Profit after Tax/ No. of Employees
3.4) E – Earning & Profitability:
Earnings and profitability, the prime source of increase in capital base, is examined with
regards to interest rate policies and adequacy of provisioning. In addition, it also helps to
support present and future operations of the institutions. The single best indicator used to
gauge earning is the Return on Assets (ROA), which is net income after taxes to total asset
ratio.
Rating The Performance of the Bank through CAMELS Model
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 32
Strong earnings and profitability profile of banks reflects the ability to support present and
future operations. More specifically, this determines the capacity to absorb losses, finance
its expansion, pay dividends to its shareholders, and build up an adequate level of capital.
Being front line of defense against erosion of capital base from losses, the need for high
earnings and profitability can hardly be overemphasized. Although different indicators are
used to serve the purpose, the best and most widely used indicator is Return on Assets
(ROA).
However, for in-depth analysis, another indicator Interest Income to Total Income and
Other income to Total Income is also in used. Compared with most other indicators, trends
in profitability can be more difficult to interpret—for instance, unusually high profitability
can reflect excessive risk taking. The following ratios try to assess the quality of income in
terms of income generated by core activity – income from landing operations.
Ø Dividend Payout Ratio:
Dividend payout ratio shows the percentage of profit shared with the shareholders. The
more the ratio will increase the goodwill of the bank in the share market.
Dividend/ Net profit
Ø Return on Asset:
Net profit to total asset indicates the efficiency of the banks in utilizing their assets in
generating profits. A higher ratio indicates the better income generating capacity of the
assets and better efficiency of management in future.
Net Profit/ Total Asset
Ø Operating Profit by Average Working Fund:
This ratio indicates how much a bank can earn from its operations net of the operating
expenses for every rupee spent on working funds. Average working funds are the total
resources (total assets or total liabilities) employed by a bank. It is daily average of total
assets/ liabilities during a year. The higher the ratio, the better it is. This ratio determines the
operating profits generated out of working fund employed. The better utilization of the
Rating The Performance of the Bank through CAMELS Model
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 33
funds will result in higher operating profits. Thus, this ratio will indicate how a bank has
employed its working funds in generating profits.
Operating Profit/ Average Working Fund
Ø Net Profit to Average Asset:
Net profit to average asset indicates the efficiency of the banks in utilizing their assets in
generating profits. A higher ratio indicates the better income generating capacity of the
assets and better efficiency of management. It is arrived at by dividing the net profit by
average assets, which is the average of total assets in the current year and previous year.
Thus, this ratio measures the return on assets employed. Higher ratio indicates better
earning potential in the future.
Net Profit/ Average Asset
Ø Interest Income to Total Income:
Interest income is a basic source of revenue for banks. The interest income total income
indicates the ability of the bank in generating income from its lending. In other words, this
ratio measures the income from lending operations as a percentage of the total income
generated by the bank in a year. Interest income includes income on advances, interest on
deposits with the RBI, and dividend income.
Interest Income/ Total Income
Ø Other Income to Total Income:
Fee based income account for a major portion of the bank’s other income. The bank
generates higher fee income through innovative products and adapting the technology for
sustained service levels. The higher ratio indicates increasing proportion of fee-based
income. The ratio is also influenced by gains on government securities, which fluctuates
depending on interest rate movement in the economy.
Other Income/ Total Income

TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 34
3.5) L – Liquidity:
An adequate liquidity position refers to a situation, where institution can obtain sufficient
funds, either by increasing liabilities or by converting its assets quickly at a reasonable cost.
It is, therefore, generally assessed in terms of overall assets and liability management, as
mismatching gives rise to liquidity risk. Efficient fund management refers to a situation
where a spread between rate sensitive assets (RSA) and rate sensitive liabilities (RSL) is
maintained. The most commonly used tool to evaluate interest rate exposure is the Gap
between RSA and RSL, while liquidity is gauged by liquid to total asset ratio.
Initially solvent financial institutions may be driven toward closure by poor management of
short-term liquidity. Indicators should cover funding sources and capture large maturity
mismatches. The term liquidity is used in various ways, all relating to availability of, access
to, or convertibility into cash. An institution is said to have liquidity if it can easily meet its
needs for cash either because it has cash on hand or can otherwise raise or borrow cash. A
market is said to be liquid if the instruments it trades can easily be bought or sold in
quantity with little impact on market prices. An asset is said to be liquid if the market for
that asset is liquid.
The common theme in all three contexts is cash. A corporation is liquid if it has ready
access to cash. A market is liquid if participants can easily convert positions into cash— or
conversely. An asset is liquid if it can easily be converted to cash.
The liquidity of an institution depends on:
Ø The institution's short-term need for cash;
Ø Cash on hand;
Ø Available lines of credit;
Ø The liquidity of the institution's assets;
Ø The institution's reputation in the marketplace—how willing will counterparty is to
transact trades with or lend to the institution?
The ratios suggested to measure liquidity under CAMELS Model are as follows:
Rating The Performance of the Bank through CAMELS Model
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 35
Ø Liquidity Asset to Total Asset:
Liquidity for a bank means the ability to meet its financial obligations as they come
due. Bank lending finances investments in relatively illiquid assets, but it fund its loans
with mostly short term liabilities. Thus one of the main challenges to a bank is ensuring its
own liquidity under all reasonable conditions. Liquid assets include cash in hand, balance
with the RBI, balance with other banks (both in India and abroad), and money at call and
short notice. Total asset include the revaluations of all the assets. The proportion of liquid
asset to total asset indicates the overall liquidity position of the bank.
Liquidity Asset/ Total Asset
Ø Government Securities to Total Asset:
Government Securities are the most liquid and safe investments. This ratio measures the
government securities as a proportion of total assets. Banks invest in government securities
primarily to meet their SLR requirements, which are around 25% of net demand and time
liabilities. This ratio measures the risk involved in the assets hand by a bank.
Government Securities/ Total Asset
Ø Approved Securities to Total Asset:
Approved securities include securities other than government securities. This ratio measures
the Approved Securities as a proportion of Total Assets. Banks invest in approved securities
primarily after meeting their SLR requirements, which are around 25% of net demand and
time liabilities. This ratio measures the risk involved in the assets hand by a bank.
Approved Securities/ Total Asset
Ø Liquidity Asset to Demand Deposit:
This ratio measures the ability of a bank to meet the demand from deposits in a particular
year. Demand deposits offer high liquidity to the depositor and hence banks have to invest
these assets in a highly liquid form.
Liquidity Asset/ demand Deposit
Rating The Performance of the Bank through CAMELS Model
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 36
Ø Liquidity Asset to Total Deposit:
This ratio measures the liquidity available to the deposits of a bank. Total deposits include
demand deposits, savings deposits, term deposits and deposits of other financial institutions.
Liquid assets include cash in hand, balance with the RBI, balance with other banks (both in
India and abroad), and money at call and short notice.
Liquidity Asset/ Total Deposit
3.6) S – Sensitivity to Market Risk:
It refers to the risk that changes in market conditions could adversely impact earnings
and/or capital. Market Risk encompasses exposures associated with changes in interest
rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, etc. While all of these items
are important, the primary risk in most banks is interest rate risk (IRR), which will be the
focus of this module. The diversified nature of bank operations makes them vulnerable to
various kinds of financial risks. Sensitivity analysis reflects institution’s exposure to interest
rate risk, foreign exchange volatility and equity price risks (these risks are summed in
market risk).
Risk sensitivity is mostly evaluated in terms of management’s ability to monitor and control
market risk. Banks are increasingly involved in diversified operations, all of which are
subject to market risk, particularly in the setting of interest rates and the carrying out of
foreign exchange transactions. In countries that allow banks to make trades in stock markets
or commodity exchanges, there is also a need to monitor indicators of equity and
commodity price risk.
Interest Rate Risk Basics:
In the most simplistic terms, interest rate risk is a balancing act. Banks are trying to balance
the quantity of reprising assets with the quantity of repricing liabilities. For example, when
a bank has more liabilities repricing in a rising rate environment than assets repricing, the
net interest margin (NIM) shrinks. Conversely, if your bank is asset sensitive in a rising
interest rate environment, your NIM will improve because you have more assets repricing at
higher rates.
Rating The Performance of the Bank through CAMELS Model
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 37
Liquidity risk is financial risk due to uncertain liquidity. An institution might lose liquidity
if its credit rating falls, it experiences sudden unexpected cash outflows, or some other event
causes counterparties to avoid trading with or lending to the institution. A firm is also
exposed to liquidity risk if markets on which it depends are subject to loss of liquidity.
Liquidity risk tends to compound other risks. If a trading organization has a position in an
illiquid asset, its limited ability to liquidate that position at short notice will compound its
market risk. Suppose a firm has offsetting cash flows with two different counterparties on a
given day. If the counterparty that owes it a payment defaults, the firm will have to raise
cash from other sources to make its payment. Should it be unable to do so, it too we default.
Here, liquidity risk is compounding credit risk.
Accordingly, liquidity risk has to be managed in addition to market, credit and other risks.
Because of its tendency to compound other risks, it is difficult or impossible to isolate
liquidity risk. In all but the most simple of circumstances, comprehensive metrics of
liquidity risk don't exist. Certain techniques of asset-liability management can be applied to
assessing liquidity risk. If an organization's cash flows are largely contingent, liquidity risk
may be assessed using some form of scenario analysis. Construct multiple scenarios for
market movements and defaults over a given period of time. Assess day-today cash flows
under each scenario. Because balance sheets differed so significantly from one organization
to the next, there is little standardization in how such analyses are implemented.
Regulators are primarily concerned about systemic implications of liquidity risk. Business
activities entail a variety of risks. For convenience, we distinguish between different
categories of risk: market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, etc. Although such categorization is
convenient, it is only informal. Usage and definitions vary. Boundaries between categories
are blurred. A loss due to widening credit spreads may reasonably be called a market loss or
a credit loss, so market risk and credit risk overlap. Liquidity risk compounds other risks,
such as market risk and credit risk. It cannot be divorced from the risks it compounds.
An important but somewhat ambiguous distinguish is that between market risk and business
risk. Market risk is exposure to the uncertain market value of a portfolio. Business risk is
exposure to uncertainty in economic value that cannot be mark-to-market. The distinction
between market risk and business risk parallels the distinction between market-value
accounting and book-value accounting. The distinction between market risk and business
Rating The Performance of the Bank through CAMELS Model
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 38
risk is ambiguous because there is a vast "gray zone" between the two. There are many
instruments for which markets exist, but the markets are illiquid. Mark-to-market values are
not usually available, but mark-to-model values provide a more-or-less accurate reflection
of fair value. Do these instruments pose business risk or market risk? The decision is
important because firms employ fundamentally different techniques for managing the two
risks.
Business risk is managed with a long-term focus. Techniques include the careful
development of business plans and appropriate management oversight. Book-value
accounting is generally used, so the issue of day-to-day performance is not material. The
focus is on achieving a good return on investment over an extended horizon. Market risk is
managed with a short-term focus. Long-term losses are avoided by avoiding losses from one
day to the next. On a tactical level, traders and portfolio managers employ a variety of risk
metrics —duration and convexity, the Greeks, beta, etc.—to assess their exposures. These
allow them to identify and reduce any exposures they might consider excessive. On a more
strategic level, organizations manage market risk by applying risk limits to traders' or
portfolio managers' activities. Increasingly, value-at-risk is being used to define and monitor
these limits. Some organizations also apply stress testing to their portfolios.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Rating The Performance of the Bank through CAMELS Model
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 40
4.1) CAMEL rating system (Keeley and Gilbert)
This study uses the capital adequacy component of the CAMEL rating system to assess
whether regulators in the 1980s influenced inadequately capitalized banks to improve their
capital. Using a measure of regulatory pressure that is based on publicly available
information, he found that inadequately capitalized banks responded to regulators' demands
for greater capital. This conclusion is consistent with that reached by Keeley (1988).
Yet, a measure of regulatory pressure based on confidential capital adequacy ratings reveals
that capital regulation at national banks was less effective than at state-chartered banks. This
result strengthens a conclusion reached by Gilbert (1991)
4.2) Banks performance evaluation by CAMEL model (Hirtle and Lopez)
Despite the continuous use of financial ratios analysis on banks performance evaluation by
banks' regulators, opposition to it skill thrive with opponents coming up with new tools
capable of flagging the over-all performance ( efficiency) of a bank. This research paper
was carried out; to find the adequacy of CAMEL in capturing the overall performance of a
bank; to find the relative weights of importance in all the factors in CAMEL; and lastly to
inform on the best ratios to always adopt by banks regulators in evaluating banks'
efficiency.
In addition, the best ratios in each of the factors in CAMEL were identified. For example,
the best ratio for Capital Adequacy was found to be the ratio of total shareholders' fund to
total risk weighted assets. The paper concluded that no one factor in CAMEL suffices to
depict the overall performance of a bank. Among other recommendations, banks' regulators
are called upon to revert to the best identified ratios in CAMEL when evaluating banks
performance.
Rating The Performance of the Bank through CAMELS Model
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 41
4.3) CAMEL model examination (Rebel Cole and Jeffery Gunther)
To assess the accuracy of CAMEL ratings in predicting failure, Rebel Cole and Jeffery
Gunther use as a benchmark an off-site monitoring system based on publicly available
accounting data. Their findings suggest that, if a bank has not been examined for more than
two quarters, off-site monitoring systems usually provide a more accurate indication of
survivability than its CAMEL rating. The lower predictive accuracy for CAMEL ratings
"older" than two quarters causes the overall accuracy of CAMEL ratings to fall substantially
below that of off-site monitoring systems.
The higher predictive accuracy of off-site systems derives from both their timeliness-an
updated off-site rating is available for every bank in every quarter-and the accuracy of the
financial data on which they are based. Cole and Gunther conclude that off-site monitoring
systems should continue to play a prominent role in the supervisory process, as a
complement to on-site examinations.
4.4) Check the Risk taken by banks by CAMEL model
The deregulation of the U.S. banking industry has fostered increased competition in banking
markets, which in turn has created incentives for banks to operate more efficiently and take
more risk. They examine the degree to which supervisory CAMEL ratings reflect the level
of risk taken by banks and the risk-taking efficiency of those banks (i.e., whether increased
risk levels generate higher expected returns). Their results suggest that supervisors not only
distinguish between the risk-taking of efficient and inefficient banks, but they also permit
efficient banks more latitude in their investment strategies than inefficient banks.
4.5) Bank soundness - CAMEL ratings – Indonesia (Kenton Zumwalt)
This study uses a unique data set provided by Bank Indonesia to examine the changing
financial soundness of Indonesian banks during this crisis. Bank Indonesia's non-public
CAMEL ratings data allow the use of a continuous bank soundness measure rather than
ordinal measures. In addition, panel data regression procedures that allow for the
identification of the appropriate statistical model are used.
Rating The Performance of the Bank through CAMELS Model
TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 42
They argue the nature of the risks facing the Indonesian banking community calls for the
addition of a systemic risk component to the Indonesian ranking system. The empirical
results show that during Indonesia's stable economic periods, four of the five traditional
CAMEL components provide insights into the financial soundness of Indonesian banks.
However, during Indonesia's crisis period, the relationships between financial
characteristics and CAMEL ratings deteriorate and only one of the traditional CAMEL
components—earnings—objectively discriminates among the ratings.
4.6) CAMELs and Banks Performance Evaluation (Muhammad Tanko)
Despite the continuous use of financial ratios analysis on banks performance evaluation by
banks' regulators, opposition to it skill thrive with opponents coming up with new tools
capable of flagging the over-all performance ( efficiency) of a bank. This research paper
was carried out; to find the adequacy of CAMEL in capturing the overall performance of a
bank; to find the relative weights of importance in all the factors in CAMEL; and lastly to
inform on the best ratios to always adopt by banks regulators in evaluating banks'
efficiency. The data for the research work is secondary and was collected from the annual
reports of eleven commercial banks in Nigeria over a period of nine years (1997 - 2005).
The purposive sampling technique was used. The findings revealed the inability of each
factor in CAMEL to capture the holistic performance of a bank. Also revealed, was the
relative weight of importance of the factors in CAMEL which resulted to a call for a change
in the acronym of CAMEL to CLEAM. In addition, the best ratios in each of the factors in
CAMEL were identified. The paper concluded that no one factor in CAMEL suffices to
depict the overall performance of a bank. Among other recommendations, banks' regulators
are called upon to revert to the best identified ratios in CAMEL when evaluating banks
performance.
Ø When we were searching for the research paper for literature review, we could not
find a single report or any research paper on the CAMELS model prepared on Indian

In GCB, the ratio was 8.67% in 2005 and after fluctuation it was 20.01% in 2009. The ratio
was increased because of increment in the liquidity assets and the main increment was in
cash balance and it was increased from 7.28 crore to 22.16 crore.
In BOI, the ratio was 9.55% in 2005 and after fluctuation it was 11.47% in 2009. The ratio
was decreased a little because of 22% increment in deposits and approx 20% increment in
assets in the year 2009.

CONCLUSION, SUGGESTIONS AND
RECOMMENDATION

7.1) CONCLUSION
The report makes an attempt to examine and compare the performance of the three different
sector banks of India i.e. from private sector bank, AXIS Bank, from Co-operative bank,
Gandhidham Co-operative Bank and from the public sector bank, Bank of India. The
analysis is based on the CAMEL Model. The study has brought many interesting results,
some of which are mentioned as below:
Ø All the three banks have succeeded in maintaining CRAR at a higher level than the
prescribed level, 9%. But the GCB has maintained highest across the duration of last
five years i.e. more than 30%. It is very good sign for the bank to survive and to expand
in future.
Ø Gross NPA ratio has registered declining trend for all the three banks during the last five
years. But Bank of India and Axis Bank have been successful during the last five years
in managing the level of NPA. Whereas the GCB has yet 8.35% of Gross NPA after
declining. But at the end of the year 2008-09 GCB has 0% Net NPA whereas BOI and
AXIS have 0.40% to o.50% Net NPA. Thus, it indicates for improvement in the asset
quality position of all the three banks.
Ø In Management Quality, we have found that Business per Employee Ratio and Profit per
Employee Ratio is increased during the last five years in Axis Bank and Bank of India
but there is not any major change in the GCB. The improvement shows the growth of
the bank as well as efficiency of the employee, which is very good in both the banks and
they will help to the bank to grow in future.
Ø In Earnings Quality, the major part of income of GCB is from Interest income. Because
their large part of investment is in Government Securities. A little change in Interest
Rate will effect on it more. In comparison of that the Axis Bank has average investment
in G-sec. And the same way BOI has a little more than Axis Bank.

TOLANI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 91
Ø The Liquidity ratios indicate better liquidity of all the banks. However, AXIS Bank has
performed throughout well, GCB has an edge over in liquidity if compared with each
other according to these ratios.
From the above analysis we would like to conclude that AXIS bank has high efficiency in
terms of Assets Quality, Management Quality and GCB is good in terms of Capital
Adequacy and Liquidity whereas Bank of India is good in terms of Capital Adequacy.
After evaluating all the ratios, calculations and ratings we have given 1st Rank to AXIS
bank, 2nd Rank to BOI and 3rd Rank to GCB.

7.2) Suggestions and Recommendation
Ø In AXIS bank, debt equity ratio is continuously rising over the years which are not
good so they have to increase equity or reduce debts in their capital structure.
Ø GCB has comparatively less total advance to total asset ratio. So, bank has to give
more advances in order to earn more interest. But they should have to also keep in
mind the credit worthiness of the customers.
Ø GCB has highest Government Security to total investment ratio which leads to
reduce their income and ultimately reduce their profitability so they have to invest in
other than government investment option rather than only in government securities.
Ø GCB has highest Gross NPA ratio which is not good for the bank. They should give
loans to the customers, whose credit worthiness is good. Though their Net NPA ratio
is nil, they have to make more provisions in order to meet their Gross NPA which is
affecting their profitability badly.
Ø In AXIS Bank Interest Income to Total Income Ratio is less. Because they are
giving fewer advances. So, in order to earn more interest income they should invest
more in government approved securities and give more advances to their customers.
