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

Banking is a highly information intensive activity that relies heavily on information


technology (IT) to acquire, process, and deliver the information to all relevant customers.
Banks used the Internet technology as a strategic weapon to revolutionize the way they
operate, deliver, and compete against each other. Although a complete turnaround in
banking sector performance is not expected till the completion of reforms, signs of
improvement are visible in some indicators under the CAMEL framework. Under this
bank is required to enhance capital adequacy, strengthen asset quality, improve
management, increase earnings and reduce sensitivity to various financial risks.
Amongst these reforms and restructuring the CAMELS Framework has its own
contribution to the way modern banking is looked up on now. The attempt here is to see
how various ratios have been used and interpreted to reveal a bank’s performance and
how this particular model encompasses a wide range of parameters making it a widely
used and accepted model in today’s scenario.
We have undergone our Grand Project at CORPORATION BANK, AHMEDABAD. We
feel great pleasure to present this report work after our training at CORPORATION
BANK that produced to be golden opportunity for us by enriching our knowledge by
comparing our theoretical knowledge with the managerial skill and application. Simple
language has been used throughout the report. Report is illustrated with figure, charts and
diagrams as and when required.

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 decided to take two public bank and two private bank
for comparison. We have collected annual reports 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 got percentage
on the bases of the performance of the bank. On the basis of total derived, we have given
ranking to the banks.

Ranking as per our analysis,

1. Kotak Mahindra Bank


2. Bank of Baroda

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

CAMEL Framework Page 10


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

CAMEL Framework Page 11


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 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

CAMEL Framework Page 12


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 8% 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

CAMEL Framework Page 13


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.

Main Aim:

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.

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.

CAMEL Framework Page 14


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 Three Pillars of Basel II

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 or BIA, standardized approach or TSA, and advanced measurement
approach or AMA. For market risk the preferred approach is VAR (value at risk). As the
Basel 2 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.

CAMEL Framework Page 15


Credit Risk can be calculated by using one of three approaches

1. Standardized Approach
2. Foundation IRB (Internal Ratings Based) Approach
3. Advanced IRB Approach

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) 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,
pension risk, concentration risk, strategic risk, reputation risk, liquidity risk and legal
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

CAMEL Framework Page 16


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.

1.5 CAMEL RATING SYSTEM

The CAMEL rating system is based upon an evaluation of five critical elements of a
credit union's operations: Capital Adequacy, Asset Quality, Management, Earnings and
Asset/Liability Management. This rating system is designed to take into account and
reflect all significant financial and operational factors examiners assess in their
evaluation of a credit union's performance. Credit unions are rated using a combination of
financial ratios and examiner judgment.

Since the composite CAMEL rating is an indicator of the viability of a credit union, it is
important that examiners rate credit unions based on their performance in absolute terms
rather than against peer averages or predetermined benchmarks. The examiner must use
professional judgment and consider both qualitative and quantitative factors when
analyzing a credit union's performance. Since numbers are often lagging indicators of a
credit union's condition, the examiner must also conduct a qualitative analysis of current
and projected operations when assigning CAMEL ratings.

Although the CAMEL composite rating should normally bear a close relationship to the
component ratings, the examiner should not derive the composite rating solely by
computing an arithmetic average of the component ratings. Following are general
definitions the examiner should use for assigning the credit union's CAMEL composite
rating:

CAMEL Framework Page 17


1.6 NEED OF CAMEL RATING SYSTEM IN BANKS

In 1979, the bank regulatory agencies created the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating
System (UFIRS). Under the original UFIRS a bank was assigned ratings based on
performance in five areas: the adequacy of Capital, the quality of Assets, the capability of
Management, the quality and level of Earnings and the adequacy of Liquidity. Bank
supervisors assigned a 1 through 5 rating for each of these components and a composite
rating for the bank. This 1 through 5 composite rating was known primarily by the
acronym CAMEL.

A bank that received a CAMEL of 1 was considered sound in every respect and generally
had component ratings of 1 or 2 while a bank with a CAMEL of 5 exhibited unsafe and
unsound practices or conditions, critically deficient performance and was of the greatest
supervisory concern. While the CAMEL rating normally bore close relation to the five
component ratings, it was not the result of averaging those five grades. Rather,
supervisors consider each institution's specific situation when weighing component
ratings and, more generally, review all relevant factors when assigning ratings.

CAMEL ratings reflect the excellent banking conditions and performance over the last
several years. There is a need for bank employees to have sufficient knowledge of the
rating system, in order to guide the banking growth rate in the positive direction. Lack of
knowledge among employees regarding banking performance indicators affects banks
negatively as these are the basis for any banking action.

CAMEL Framework Page 18


2.1 CAPITAL

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 8 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.

Capital cushions fluctuations in earnings so that credit unions can continue to operate in
periods of loss or negligible earnings. It also provides a measure of reassurance to the
members that the organization will continue to provide financial services. It serves to
support growth as a free source of funds and provides protection against insolvency.
While meeting statutory capital requirements is a key factor in determining capital
adequacy, the credit union’s operations and risk position may warrant additional capital
beyond the statutory requirements. Maintaining an adequate level of capital is a critical
element.

Determining the adequacy of a credit union's capital begins with a qualitative evaluation
of critical variables that directly bear on the institution's overall financial condition. The
examiner should also consider the interrelationships with the other areas:

 Capital level and trend analysis;


 Compliance with earnings transfers requirements and risk-based net worth
requirements;
 Composition of capital;

CAMEL Framework Page 19


 Interest and dividend policies and practices;
 Adequacy of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses account; Quality, type,
liquidity and diversification of assets, with particular reference to classified
assets;
 Loan and investment concentrations;
 Growth plans;
 Ability of management to control and monitor risk, including credit and interest
rate risk;
 Earnings: Good historical and current earnings performance enables a credit
union to fund its growth, remain competitive, and maintain a strong capital
position;
 Liquidity and funds management;
 Economic Environment.

 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

CAMEL Framework Page 20


 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.
Debt Equity Ratio = Borrowings/ (Share Capital + reserves)

 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 Advance to Total Asset Ratio = Total Advances/ Total Asset

 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 to Total Investments = Government Securities/ Total
Investment

CAMEL Framework Page 21


2.2 ASSET QUALITY

Asset quality determines the robustness of financial institutions against loss of value in
the assets. The deteriorating value of assets, being prime source of banking problems,
directly pour into other areas, as losses are eventually written-off against capital, which
ultimately jeopardizes 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 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 emphasise 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

CAMEL Framework Page 22


development of financial markets. One of the indicators for asset quality is the ratio of
non-performing loans to total loans (GNPA). The gross non-performing loans to gross
advances ratio is more indicative of the quality of credit decisions made by bankers.
Higher GNPA 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.
5. A loan granted for long duration crops will be treated as an NPA if the instalments
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. For 2008, the net NPL ratio for the
Indian scheduled commercial banks at 2.9 per cent is ample testimony to the impressive
efforts being made by our banking system. In fact, recovery management is also linked to

CAMEL Framework Page 23


the banks’ interest margins. The cost and recovery management supported by enabling
legal framework hold the key to future health and competitiveness of the Indian banks.
No doubt, improving recovery-management in India is an area requiring expeditious and
effective actions in legal, institutional and judicial processes.

Asset quality is rated in relation to:


 The quality of loan underwriting, policies, procedures and practices;
 The level, distribution and severity of classified assets;
 The level and composition of nonaccrual and restructured assets;
 The ability of management to properly administer its assets, including the timely
identification and collection of problem assets;
 The existence of significant growth trends indicating erosion or improvement in
asset quality;
 The existence of high loan concentrations that present undue risk to the credit
union;
 The appropriateness of investment policies and practices;
 The investment risk factors when compared to capital and earnings structure; and
the effect of fair (market) value of investments vs. book value of investments

 Total Loans/Total Shares


 Total Loans/Total Assets
 Fair (Market) Value / Book value

CAMEL Framework Page 24


 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.

 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 bank loan portfolio. The higher the ratio, the higher the credits risk.

CAMEL Framework Page 25


2.3 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. In
effect, management rating is just an amalgam of performance in the above-mentioned
areas. 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 bank.

Management is the most forward-looking indicator of condition and a key determinant of


whether a credit union is able to correctly diagnose and respond to financial stress. The
management component provides examiners with objective, and not purely subjective,
indicators. An assessment of management is not solely dependent on the current financial
condition of the credit union and will not be an average of the other component ratings.

 Total Advance to Total Deposit Ratio:


This ratio measures the efficiency and ability of the banks management in converting
theVdeposits 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

CAMEL Framework Page 26


 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

 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.

2.4 EARNINGS

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.

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 Net Interest Margins
(NIM) is also used. Chronically unprofitable financial institutions risk insolvency.
Compared with most other indicators, trends in profitability can be more difficult to
interpret—for instance, unusually high profitability can reflect excessive risk taking.

Return on Assets (ROA):


An indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. ROA gives an idea
as to how efficient management is at using its assets to generate earnings. Calculated by
dividing a company's annual earnings by its total assets, ROA is displayed as a
percentage. Sometimes this is referred to as "return on investment".

The continued viability of a credit union depends on its ability to earn an appropriate
return on its assets. It enables a credit union to fund expansion, remain competitive, and
replenish and/or increase capital. In evaluating and rating earnings, it is not enough to
review past and present performance. Future performance is of equal or greater value,
including performance under various economic conditions. Examiners should evaluate
"core" earnings: that is the long-run earnings ability of a credit union discounting

CAMEL Framework Page 28


temporary fluctuations in income and one-time items. A review for the reasonableness of
the credit union's budget and underlying assumptions is appropriate for this purpose. Key
factors to consider when assessing the credit union's earnings are:
 Level, growth trends, and stability of earnings, particularly return on average
assets;
 Quality and composition of earnings;
 Adequacy of valuation allowances and their effect on earnings;
 Future earnings prospects under a variety of economic conditions;
 Net interest margin;
 Net non-operating income and losses and their effect on earnings;
 Quality and composition of assets;
 Net worth level;
 Sufficiency of earnings for necessary capital formation

 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 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

CAMEL Framework Page 29


 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

 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

 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

CAMEL Framework Page 30


2.5 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 “L” of CAMEL represents the concept of Asset/Liability Management - the


identification, monitoring and control of:

 Interest rate risk sensitivity and exposure


 Liquidity risk and control
 Technical competence in asset/liability management techniques

Cash maintained by the banks and balances with central bank, to total asset ratio (LQD)
is an indicator of bank's liquidity. In general, banks with a larger volume of liquid assets
are perceived safe, since these assets would allow banks to meet unexpected withdrawals.

CAMEL Framework Page 31


 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

 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

 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

CAMEL Framework Page 32


 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

 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.

6.1 REASONS FOR WEIGHTAGE

1. Capital

CAMEL Framework Page 68


In Capital ratios, we have given 0.5 to capital adequacy ratio as it is the most
important ratio which has significant impact on capital of the bank. Second most
important ratio which affects the capital ratio is debt – equity ratio and rest of
them are of low impact.

2. Assets

In assets Ratio, we have highest importance to Net GPA which shows clear
picture how well company is performing with its assets. Secondly Gross NPA is
given is not given so much importance compared to Net NPAs. Other ratios like
fair value to market value, totals loans to total assets are given equal importance.

3. Management

In management ratios, there is no specific ratio which has specific importance. All
ratios have equal impact so here we have equal weightage to all the ratios.

4. Earnings

In Earnings ratios, there is no specific ratio which has specific importance. All
ratios have equal impact so here we have equal weightage to all the ratios.

5. Liquidity

In Liquidity ratios, there is no specific ratio which has specific importance. All
ratios have equal impact so here we have equal weightage to all the ratios.

CHART 2

Notes:

1. The net non-performing assets to loans (advances) ratio is used as a measure of


the overall quality of the bank’s loan book. Higher ratio reflects rising bad quality
of loans. But here NPA percentage of Karur Vysya Bank is just 0.25% which
shows bank is performing well and it is able to recover its debt. The Bank has
maintained high standard in asset quality through appropriate risk management
measures and recovery measures as evidenced by lower NPA levels. Here as
compared to its peers it has lowest ratio which is better.

2. The loans to assets ratio measures the total loans outstanding as a percentage of
total assets. The higher this ratio indicates a bank is loaned up and its liquidity is
low. The higher the ratio, the more risky a bank may be to higher defaults. Here
the ratio for all the banks is almost same.

CAMEL Framework Page 74


3. Market value ratios are strong indicators of what investors think of the firm’s past
performance and future prospects. It basically shows Goodwill or Reputation of
the bank in the market. Here Kotak Mahindra Bank is highly reputed in the minds
of investors.

4. So overall in Assets Ratio, Kotak Mahindra Bank is on top position as compared


to its peers.

5. If we compare only public banks, again Bank Of Baroda is ahead than


Corporation Bank.

7.2 CHART SHOWING CAMEL RATING FOR DIFFERENT
BANKS

CAMEL Framework Page 86


INTERPRETATION

Rank 1 – Here kotak Mahindra Bank indicates strong performance and risk management
practices that consistently provide for safe and sound operations. The historical trend and
projections for key performance measures are consistently positive. It is not performing
well in Liquidity ratio but it performs strong in other ratios which covered up its weak
performing area.

Rank 2 – Here Bank of Baroda reflects satisfactory performance and risk management
practices that consistently provide for safe and sound operations. It maintains very well in
management and liquidity ratio which has become its strength. In order to lead, it should
focus more on Capital and Assets.

CAMEL Framework Page 87


Rank 3 – Corporation Bank represents performance that is flawed to some degree and is
of supervisory concern. Performance is marginal. Risk management practices may be less
than satisfactory. In order to improve their position, it should maintain the capital and
Assets ratio so that it will be able to compete with their competitors.

Rank 4 –Karur Vysya Bank refers to poor performance that is of serious supervisory
concern. Risk management practices are generally unacceptable and the Bank should try
to improve its operations. It is performing Good in Earnings but Management and
Liquidity of the bank is not up to the mark and should give more importance to these
factors in order to be at the par with other banks.

RECOMMENDATION

 Corporation Bank is excellent in Earnings ratio but lacks in other ratio like
Capital, Assets, and Liquidity etc.
 If we compare Corporation Bank with Bank Of Baroda i.e. both Public bank,
Bank of Baroda’s Liquidity ratio is quite good. So, Corporation Bank should
improve its liquidity ratio. The Major difference is due to Liquid assets to
Demand Deposits ratio.
 Corporation bank’s fair market value to book value ratio is the lowest of the entire
banks. This shows Corporation Bank should create more awareness among the
people through Targeting youngsters as well as providing new schemes in order to
attract more customers.
 The banks should adapt themselves quickly to the changing norms.

CAMEL Framework Page 88


 The system is getting internationally standardized with the coming of BASELL II
accords so the Indian banks should strengthen internal processes so as to cope
with the standards.
 The banks should try to maintain a 0% NPA by always lending and investing or
creating quality assets which earn returns by way of interest and profits.
 Corporation bank is performing well in Management, earnings and Liquidity but
lacking in Capital and Assets Management.
 The Bank should focus more on managing Asset as it is at the last position
compared to other banks.
 Even in Capital Management, Kotak Mahindra Bank is having almost 22% capital
adequency ratio whereas corporation bank is having 13.66% which is lowest of all
banks mentioned in the report.

CONCLUSION

The current Banking Crisis, which is quite unprecedented, underlines the importance of
regulatory issues and the effects of incompetence in this area. CAMEL, as a rating system
for judging the soundness of Banks is a quite useful tool, that can help in mitigating the
conditions and risks that lead to Bank failures.

The report makes an attempt to examine and compare the performance of four different
banks of India i.e. Corporation Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Karur Vysya Bank and Bank
Of Baroda. The analysis is based on the CAMEL Model. The study has brought many
interesting results, some of which are mentioned as below:

CAMEL Framework Page 89


All the three banks have succeeded in maintaining CRAR at a higher level than the
prescribed level, 9%. But KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK has maintained highest
i.e.19.86%. It is very good sign for the bank to survive and to expand in future.

In Management Quality, we have found that Business per Employee Ratio and Profit per
Employee Ratio is more in CORPORATION BANK AND BANK OF BARODA. This
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.

After evaluating all the ratios, calculations and ratings we have given 1st Rank to
KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK, 2nd Rank to BANK OF BARODA, 3rd Rank to
CORPORATION BANK and 4th to KARUR VYSYA BANK.
