Abstract
In view of the changed scenario in the Indian banking sector during the reform period, this paper tries to make a comparison of fund and non-fund based operating performance of select (28) Indian commercial banks (20 public sector, eight private sector) for the period 2002–03 to 2004–05 using the super efficiency approach.
The results available from the study indicate a decline in mean technical efficiency (implying greater heterogeneity in performance across banks) during the period under consideration. This divergence in performance during the later years could be due to the influence of idiosyncratic factors. The study also indicates that the observed private sector banks have higher mean technical efficiency than the observed public sector banks.
