Abstract

The fact that India could well be the next financial hub of the globe, and the fact that the banking sector will play a major role in facilitating this transformation, served as the motivation for the study. Post liberalisation, the sector has seen a lot of mergers and acquisitions in the country. However, to add value, M&A must lead to improved financial performance of the merged entity. This research paper analyzes the post-merger financial performance of private and public sector banks, and also compares the same. The study reveals that, individually, private and public sector banks have shown post-merger improvement in financial performance with respect to a few parameters of the CAMEL model. However, overall there is no statistically significant improvement in the financial performance of the banks, post-merger. Also, there is no significant difference when the post-merger financial performance of private sector banks is compared to that of public sector banks.
