Public sector banks are more stressed than their private sector counterparts with the former figuring among the top 20 banks with the highest gross non-performing asset (GNPA) ratios, according to CARE Ratings’ analysis of the first quarter results of 38 banks.
IDBI Bank (with gross NPA ratio of 24.11 per cent of gross advances) and Indian Overseas Bank (23.6 per cent) have NPA ratios of over 20 per cent. Among PSBs, Indian Bank has the lowest GNPA ratio of 7.21 per cent, the credit rating agency said.
