The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of intellectual capital on operational efficiency calculated using Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) for Indian financial sector companies.

The paper has used modified Pulic’s Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC™) as a proxy to measure intellectual capital. Correlation and Dynamic panel regression has been used in order to examine the relationship and address the problems of heteroscedasticity, autocorrelation and endogeneity in the data. The results of the study indicates positive and significant relationship between IC and efficiency of the firm.
