Abstract

The main objective of the article is to analyze and evaluate cost, revenue and profit efficiency scores of Indian scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) in India during 1991–1992 till 2012–2013 by the application of data envelopment analysis (DEA)—a nonparametric approach. The results show that Indian SCBs have profit, revenue and cost efficiency of less than 1 during both the reformatory as well as post-reformatory era depicting that banks are not able to maximize their revenues and minimize their costs simultaneously in order to enhance their net effect. During reformatory and post-reformatory era, SCBs are more efficient in generating revenues and profits rather than in using their resources efficiently reflecting a high level of cost inefficiency. Overall, the results depict that Indian SCBs exhibit higher efficiency scores in reformatory era than in post-reformatory era.
