Abstract
Over the past several years, substantial research efforts have gone into measuring the efficiency of commercial banks. After nationalization of banks, there was a growing concern on the deteriorating of banking sector’s efficiency in several spheres. An academic study on the performance of the nationalized banking sector in India is very important and pertinent in the context of its structural existence. Before taking up such an exercise, an attempt is made in this section to present a review of the available studies in the relevant area of banking. The research studies conducted in the field of banking in India and abroad relate mostly to institutional, functional and developmental activities of banks.
