1. INTRODUCTION
Bank in general terminology is referred to as a financial institute or a corporation which is
authorized by the state or central government to deal with money by accepting deposits,
giving out loan and investing in securities. The main role of banks is the growth of economy
by providing funds for investment. In recent times banking sector has been undergoing a lot
of changes in terms of regulations and effects of globalization. These Changes have affected
this sector both structurally and strategically. With the changing Environment, many different
strategies have been adopted by this sector in order to remain efficient and to surge ahead in
the global arena. One such profitable strategy is the process of consolidation of the banks.
There are several ways to consolidate the banking industry; the most common adopted by
banks is merger.
2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Dr. M. Ravichandran (2016) study is mainly concentrated on the financial performance and
profitability of the banks after their merger by taking the merger of Centurion bank of Punjab
with HDFC Bank to determine the impact of merger on performance of investment variables
during pre and post-merger, to know the financial performance of the banks after merger and
to analyze the profitability of the study unit during pre and post-merger.
Research concluded that there is a significant difference in Earnings per Share, Total
Capital ratio, Return on Average Net worth, Dividend Payout ratio, Tier 1 Capital ratio, Book
Value Per Share, Dividend Per Share, Price to Earnings ratio, Market Price Per Share between
before and after merger. After merger it shows an increase in the financial performance.
Simranjeet Singh (2015) tried to analyze whether the ICICI Bank have achieved financial
performance efficiency during post-merger period in the area of profitability, financial
leverage, liquidity and capital market standards. The main objectives are to analyze the impact
of merger of Bank of Rajasthan on the financial performance of ICICI Bank and to analyze
the impact of merger of Sangli Bank on the financial performance of ICICI Bank. Variables
like Net profit margin, ROI, ROA, ROE, Debt/Equity ratio, Current ratio, Acid test ratio and
EPS has considered as most important and reliable ratio to check the financial performance of
ICICI Bank. The study found in terms of Profitability ICICI Bank performs better in Return
on Advances and Ratio of Operating Profit to Total Assets after both merger cases. In
Financial Leverage Standards, Total Debt/Equity Ratio was significantly changed in one case,
and same response has found in Liquidity Standards. Overall it is conclude that, out of total
performance ratios of ICICI Bank half of ratios have significantly changed after mergers in
both sample cases. While other half of ratios have not significantly changed after merger,
because null hypothesis is accepted in both cases.
Gurbaksh Singh and Sunil Gupta (2015) tried to analyze the impact of M&A’s on
productivity and profitability of consolidation in the Indian Banking sector. The study has
undertaken the performance, strengthens and weakness of the sample two banks i.e. one
public and one private sector banks based on the financial ratios from the perspective of pre
and post – merger grounds. From 2004-05 to 201415. With the help of statistical tools are
arithmetic mean, standard deviation; t-test and p-value etc. Various ratios were analyzed in
terms of before and after merger. Findings show that for ICICI Bank variables like Net Profit
Margin, Operating Profit Margin, Return on Capital Employed, Return on Net Worth, Interest
Coverage, Deposit per Employee and Credit Deposit Ratio are found to be significant and
insignificant difference is found with respect to Gross Profit Margin, Dept-Equity Ratio,
Current Ratio, Quick Ratio, Earnings per Share and Business per Branch as where incase of
State Bank of India it is concluded that there is non-significant difference in respect to Gross
Profit margin, Operating Margin, Return on Capital Employed, Dept-Equity, Interest
Coverage and Current Ratio but there is significant difference with respect to Net Profit
Margin, Return on Net Worth, Quick Ratio, Credit Deposit Ratio, Earnings per Share, Deposit
per Employee, Credit per Employee, and Business per Branch. Such findings of the study
reflect that, more emphasis can be laid on those factors, which are positively associated with
profitability, and an effort can be made to constrain the factors which affect profitability in a
positive or negative way in the financial performance of banks before and after merger. The
other aspects like taxation vision, accounting research and valuation of market risks, Human
Resources and legal and strategic aspects etc. relates to mergers and acquisitions are avoided.
The study concluded that the banks have been positive effects when distinguished between
pre – mergers and post- merger period.
Dr. (Mrs.) G.Santhiyavalli and K.Abirami(2014) focuses on pre and post-merger financial
performance of acquiring banks with the help of financial parameters like return on equity, net
interest margin, net profit, burden ratio, business per employee, profit per employee, advance
deposit ratio, investment deposit ratio and the overall impact of mergers and acquisitions on
acquiring bank. Paired t-test is used for testing the statistical significance of the ratios of the
select banks. The results of the study indicate that the banks have been positively impacted by
the event of mergers and acquisitions. The results suggest that banks had improved efficiency
and increased the shareholders’ value through strategic mergers.
Devarajappa S. (2012) tried to compare the pre and post-merger financial performance of
merged banks with the help of financial parameters like, Gross Profit margin, Net Profit
margin, operating Profit margin, Return on Capital Employed, Return on Equity, and Debt
Equity Ratio. Research has taken one case of merger as Sample i.e., merger of HDFC Bank
ltd & Centurion Bank of Punjab. The pre-merger (three years prior) and post-merger (after
three years) of the financial ratios being compared. Independent T-test used for testing the
statistical significance and this test is applied not only for ratio analysis but also effect of
merger on the performance of banks. This performance being tested on the basis of two
grounds i.e. Pre-merger and Post- merger. Finally the study indicates that the banks have been
positively affected by the event of merger. The findings of this study are that some ratios
indicate no effect but most of the ratios shows the positive effect and increased the
performance of banks after merger announcement. Finally the study concluded that return on
equity, debt –equity ratio and Gross Profit margin shows the improvement after the merger
Dr. P. Chellasamy and N Ponsabariraj ( 2014) aims to compare pre and post-merger
financial performance of merged banks with the help of financial parameters like net profit to
total income, net profit to working capital, return on assets and return on equity which
includes profitability analysis, current ratio and liquidity ratio which includes liquidity
analysis. The study covers the area of performance evaluation of Merger and Acquisitions in
Indian banking sector during the period from 1999-2000 to 2010-2011. The researcher want
to use in this study was paired t-test to find out the significant relationship between the
profitability and liquidity performance of pre and post- Merger and Acquisitions of select
scheduled commercial banks in India. The study conclude that the banks have been no greater
changes when compare with pre- Merger and Acquisitions period.
V Radha Naga Sai and Dr. Syed Tabassum Sultana (2013) in their paper evaluate the
performance of the selected two banks based on the financial ratios from the perspective of
pre and post-merger. To analyze the impact of merger paired t-test was applied to the various
financial ratios for before and after merger data. Based on the analysis of Indian overseas
bank data, it can be concluded that Net profit margin, Operating profit margin, Return on
capital employed, Return on equity and Debt Equity ratio there is significant difference but no
significant difference with respect to Gross profit margin. Based on the analysis of HDFC
bank data it can be concluded that Net profit margin, Operating profit margin, Return on
capital employed, Return on equity and Debt Equity ratio there is no significant difference in
these ratios before after merger. But significant difference with respect to Gross profit margin.
Dr. (Smt). A.N.Tamragundi and Devarajappa S (2016) in this paper examines the impact
of mergers on performance of selected commercial banks in India. The impact of mergers on
performance of the banks has been evaluated from three prospective i) Physical Performance
of merged banks, ii) Financial Performance of Merged Banks and iii) Share price performance
by taking 6 Indian commercial banks merged during the period 2004 to 2008 were selected
out of which, three are merger of public sector banks with private sector banks and three are
merger of private banks with private banks and data have been collected from CMIE data
base at IIM, Bangalore and Bank’s annual reports. Statistical tool like, Mean, Standard
deviation and T-Test have been used for analyzing the performance and testing. Finally, the
study concludes that, Merger is a useful strategy, through this Banks can expand their
operations, serve larger customer base, increases profitability, liquidity and efficiency but the
overall growth and financial illness of the bank can’t be solved from mergers.

2013 is 1.06, for 2014 is 1.42, for 2015 is 1.48 and for 2016 is 1.99. From the above chart it is
evident that the quick ratio for post-merger period is higher when compared to quick ratio of
pre-merger period.
Interpretation: From the above table no of employees for the year 2012 are 12000, for
2013 are 13500, for 2014 are 16000, for 2015 are 18335 and for 2016 are 31410. From the
above chart it is clear that no of employees in post-merger is higher than the no of employees
in pre-merger period.
H11: The mean of Quick ratio is not equal for premerger and post-merger.
From the above table it is evident that the mean for quick ratio during premerger is 1.23 and
the mean during post-merger is 1.99 and the P value is 0.077 which indicates that null
hypothesis is to be accepted at 5% level of Significance which implies that the means of quick
ratio during pre and post-merger are equal.
H12: The mean of current ratio is not equal for premerger and post-merger
From the above table it is evident that the mean for quick ratio during premerger is 1.23 and
the mean during post-merger is 1.99 and the P value is 0.077 which indicates that null
hypothesis is to be accepted at 5% level of Significance which implies that the means of quick
ratio during pre and post-merger are equal.
H13: The mean of debt to equity ratio is not equal for premerger and post-merger.
From the above table it is evident that the mean for Debt to equity ratio during premerger is
1.53 and the mean during post-merger is 0.833 and the P value is 0.449 which indicates that
null hypothesis is to be accepted at 5% level of Significance which implies that the means of
Debt to equity ratio during pre and post-merger are equal.
H14: The mean of cash to current liabilities is not equal for premerger and post-merger.
From the above table it is evident that the mean for Cash to current liabilities during
premerger is 0.825 and the mean during post-merger is 1.05 and the P value is 0.450 which
indicates that null hypothesis is to be accepted at 5% level of Significance which implies that
the means of Cash to current liabilities during pre and post-merger are equal.
H15: The mean of DepositsOveroneyearto3years is not equal for premerger and post-
merger.
From the above table it is evident that the mean of DepositsOveroneyearto3years for during
premerger is 190124 and the mean during post-merger is 411464 and the P value is 0.064
which indicates that null hypothesis is to be accepted at 5% level of Significance which
implies that the means of DepositsOveroneyearto3yearsduring pre and post-merger are equal.
H16: The mean of BorrowingsOveroneyearto3years is not equal for premerger and post-
merger.
From the above table it is evident that the mean of Borrowings Overoneyearto3years for
during premerger is 17437.525 and the mean during post-merger is 32861 and the P value is
.086 which indicates that null hypothesis is to be accepted at 5% level of Significance which
implies that the means of DepositsOveroneyearto3yearsduring pre and post-merger are equal.
H17: The mean of Loan: advances over one year to3years is not equal for premerger
and post-merger.
From the above table it is evident that the mean of Loan advances Overoneyearto3years for
during premerger is203124.950 and the mean during post-merger is 513480.600and the P
value is .012 which indicates that null hypothesis is to be rejected at 5% level of Significance
which implies that the means of Loan advances Overoneyearto3yearsduring pre and post-
merger are not equal.
H18: The mean of Net profit margin is not equal for premerger and post-merger.
From the above table it is evident that the mean of net profit margin for during premerger
is14.6100and the mean during post-merger is 10.4200and the P value is .001 which indicates
that null hypothesis is to be rejected at 5% level of Significance which implies that the means
of during net profit margin pre and post-merger are not equal.
5. FINDINGS
The quick ratio for post-merger period is higher when compared to quick ratio of pre-merger
period but statistically insignificant.
1. The no of branches in the post-merger period are higher than the no of branches in
pre-merger period. Due to merger the branches of two banks are merged into
single bank, so branches of Kotak Mahindra increased after merger.
2. The net profit margin is gradually decreased. The net profit margin of pre-merger
period is higher than the net profit margin of post-merger and statistically
significant.
3. The no of employees in post-merger is higher than the no of employees in pre-
merger period. Due to merger employees of both banks belongs to Kotak
Mahindra bank, so employees are increased.
4. The loan advances in post-merger is higher than the loan advances in pre-merger
period which is statistically significant.
5. The borrowings in post-merger period are high and gradually increasing when
compared to borrowings of 2014 but statistically insignificant.
6. The cash to current liabilities ratio is gradually increasing but statistically
insignificant..
7. The debt equity ratio is gradually decreasing and in post-merger period it started
increasing.
8. The current ratio in post-merger is higher than current ratio of pre-merger, and the
current ratio is in increasing order but statistically insignificant.
9. Of all the above variables, the loans and advances and net profit margin seems to
be statistically significant during pre and post-merger.
6. CONCLUSION
Finally, the study concludes that, Merger is a useful strategy, through this Banks can expand
their operations, serve larger customer base, increases profitability, liquidity and efficiency
but the overall growth and financial illness of the bank can’t be solved from mergers.
