Abstract

In this study, we look at how merging Indian public sector banks has affected their ability to work together more efficiently. The purpose of this study is to determine whether this merger would really speed up India's economic development. Bank merger advantages have been analysed using many metrics, including CASA ratio, CRAR ratio, CET I ratio, and advance and deposit size. Net nonperforming asset ratios have also been monitored in order to assess asset quality. The consolidation of 10 public sector banks into 4 is an attempt to achieve size and geographic diversity via consolidation. The merger has unquestionably enhanced the merged entity's size, which has resulted in advantages such as lower operating costs and larger money placed by a greater number of consumers. Insolvent banks have been able to strengthen their financial footing and stability as a result of mergers. Capital has been injected into struggling state-owned banks, which will increase lending and buoy the economy.
