Abstract: A well-developed and efficient banking sector is the fundamental requirement for the smooth functioning of any economy. The present study is an attempt to examine the technical, pure technical and scale efficiencies of the Indian banks across different ownership categories for the period 2010-12. Seven out of the selected 44 banks lie on the efficiency frontier and form the reference set for their peers. Further, it is observed that efficiency scores do not vary much across public sector, private sector and foreign banks. The performance of public sector and private sector banks is almost at par with respect to technical efficiency, whereas in the case of foreign banks, there is scope for improving scale efficiency.
