Since 1992-93, the structure of the Indian banking system has undergone significant changes in terms of scope, opportunities and operational buoyancy. The commercial banks have been facing and increasing degree of competition in the intermediation process from term lending institutions, non-banking intermediaries, chit funds and the capital market. To compare with them efficiently the commercial banks were permitted to undertake newer activities like investment banking, securities trading, insurance business etc, on a selective basis. Besides, new banking services like ATM and internet banking have been emerged due to the advancement of computers and information technology. The whole success of economic growth of our country mainly depends on the performance of these banks. In this backdrop, the present study seeks to examine the trends in the financial performances of 15 banking companies, major players in the Indian money market, during the period 1996-97 to 2006-07. In this study 8 major public sector banks and 7 private sector banks in India have been selected. The performances of public sector banks have become more market driven with growing emphasis placed on profitability.
