The CAMEL rating is a well established technique to compare the performance of banks and financial institutions. We compare a sample of five public sector banks in India, ranking them via the CAMEL rating. Of the banks chosen for the study SBI ranked first in capital adequacy, asset quality and earnings quality. IDBI ranked first in management efficiency while BOB ranked first in liquidity. The bank with the best overall CAMEL rank proved to be SBI. By providing a basis of comparison for different banks the CAMEL rating can yield valuable insight to several stake holders of banks such as bank management, investors and regulators.

Research Objectives and Topics
This study aims to evaluate and compare the financial performance of five major public sector banks in India by applying the established CAMEL rating methodology, focusing on data from 2012 to 2016 to provide a current comparative ranking for stakeholders.
- Application of the CAMEL rating framework (Capital Adequacy, Asset Quality, Management Efficiency, Earnings Quality, Liquidity).
- Comparative performance analysis of SBI, Bank of Baroda, Punjab National Bank, IDBI, and Bank of India.
- Methodological development for ranking banks based on specific financial sub-categories.
- Assessment of current banking trends in India relative to asset quality and Basel III compliance.
Excerpt from the Book
Methodology
We focus on developing a ranking methodology for a sample of public sector banks based on the CAMEL parameters. The five CAMEL parameters are as follows:
C – Capital Adequacy
A – Asset Quality
M – Management Efficiency
E – Earnings quality
L – Liquidity
Capital adequacy is a measure of how adequately capitalized a bank is in its ability to absorb any losses and meeting customer obligations. Two measures of capital adequacy considered in this study are:
1) The Capital Adequacy Ratio and
2) The Debt to Equity Ratio
Asset quality is a measure of the bank’s financial health. Improving asset quality is often marked by strong financial performance. Two measures of asset quality considered in this study are:
1) The % Net Non Performing Assets to Total Advances
2) The % Total Investments to Total Assets
Management efficiency measures how capable top management is in managing its operations and getting the most out of its work force. Two measures of asset quality considered in this study are:
1) Total Advances to Total Deposits
2) Business per Employee
Summary of Chapters
Introduction: This chapter outlines the current challenges in the Indian banking sector, such as Non-Performing Assets (NPA) and Basel 3 norms, and introduces the CAMEL rating as an analytical tool.
Literature review: This section summarizes previous academic studies that utilized the CAMEL approach to evaluate banking performance in India and other regions.
Methodology: This chapter defines the five parameters of the CAMEL framework and specifies the financial ratios used to quantify each component for the ranking process.
Results: This section presents the raw data and calculated rankings for the five banks across all CAMEL parameters in tabular format.
Discussion and Analysis: This chapter interprets the quantitative results, discussing the performance of each bank and providing context based on broader economic factors and existing research.
Conclusion: This section summarizes the study's findings, highlighting that SBI achieved the best overall CAMEL rank among the analyzed institutions.
Limitations: This chapter acknowledges constraints such as the small sample size, the five-year timeframe, and the exclusion of share price performance correlations.
