Cost to Income Ratio
This ratio evaluates a bank's operational effectiveness. It contrasts the bank's operating income (interest income,
fees, etc.) with its operating expenses (rent, salaries, administrative costs).
L(Liquidity):
The ability of a bank to fulfil short-term financial obligations, like withdrawals or payments, without
experiencing operational difficulties is referred to as liquidity. A bank run is less likely when there is adequate
liquidity, which also guarantees consumer trust. For both long-term solvency and daily operations, liquidity
management is essential.
Credit to Deposit Ratio (CD Ratio)
This ratio displays the percentage of total deposits that have been disbursed as loans by the bank. It makes the
bank's lending strategy and liquidity easier to understand.
The CAMEL approach is a generally accepted and worldwide utilised supervisory assessment system that
assesses the financial health, performance, and stability of banks and other financial institutions. It was first
introduced by banking authorities in the United States and thereafter adopted by central banks and regulatory
agencies all around the world, including the Reserve Bank of India.
Review of literature:To evaluate the performance of Indian banks, the CAMEL model has been used in
numerous research. Nevertheless, this analysis attempts to close the gap by utilising the most recent financial
data to assess SBI's performance efficiency from 2021 to 2025 utilising the CAMEL framework.
1. Prasad, K. V. N., & Reddy, D. M. (2011): In this research, they compared Andhra Pragathi Grameena
Bank (APGB) and Sapthagiri Grameena Bank, two regional rural banks, using CAMEL factors. SGB was
superior in asset quality and profit per employee, whereas APGB was superior in capital sufficiency,
earnings quality, and the ratio of total assets to total deposits. Both banks' levels of liquidity were similar
2. Meena, G. L. (2016): Using metrics including profit per employee, debt-to-equity ratio, asset-to-deposit
ratio, and net non-performing asset (NPA)-advance ratio, it assessed public and private sector banks using
the CAMEL model. The independent variable was the return on assets. According to the statement,
improving bank performance and fostering economic growth depend heavily on the efficient financial
management of these problems.
3. Chaudhuri, B. (2018): This study employed the CAMEL model to compare the financial performance of
SBI (public sector) and ICICI Bank (private sector) during a five-year period. The investigation revealed
that, while both banks met financial standards, ICICI Bank surpassed SBI in terms of management
efficiency and profitability
4. Srinivas, T., & Lavanya, B. (2018): It used CAMEL indices to assess banks in the private sector.
According to the results, ICICI Bank was ranked first, followed by Kotak Mahindra and HDFC. The
CAMEL characteristics of each bank, however, displayed a variety of strengths and weaknesses with no
discernible growth pattern.
5. Biswas, S., & Bhattacharya, M. (2020):The study used the CAMEL model to compare the performance
of ten private sector banks, including ICICI, Axis, HDFC, YES, Kotak Mahindra, Indusland, IDBI,
Bandhan, and IDFC. The banks were ranked based on overall performance. Bandhan Bank was the top
performer, followed by HDFC Bank, which showed strong financial indicators under CAMEL standards.
6. Konnur, N. P., et al. (2022):It compared public and private banks' performance using CAMEL features
and ANOVA. Kotak Mahindra Bank, a private sector bank, received the top rating, notably in terms of
profitability, earnings capacity, and managerial excellence.
