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.
