The sample of the study consists of 21 public sector and 19 private sector banks which accounted for 96.42% of banking operation in India and were continuously in existence for the study period of 10 years i.e. from 2009-10 to 2018-19.The study considered NPAs as dependent variable and used bank-specific indicators as independent variables. The study found concentration of NPAs and advances in public sector banks and higher concentration in private sector bank. Further, based on stability based classification, the study found Induslnd bank; Nainital bank and Yes Bank are the highly unstable banks in Indian banking sector. Using panel data regression approach, the result shows that NPAs can be managed efficiently by improving Return on Assets and Credit Deposit Ratio. � Indian Institute of Finance.
