Abstract: Moving from the scenario that was dominated by nationalized banks, Indian commercial banking system has witnessed a rapid spread of Foreign Banks (FBs). The operations of FBs have received a considerable boost during the post-reform era beginning with the year 1993, providing opportunities for players to shape up and prepare for their growth. This paper is an attempt to determine the profitability of FBs operating in India, using the data for the period from 1996-97 to 2004-05. The study uses multi-discriminant function analysis to identify the variables discriminating the high profitability bank groups from the low profitability groups.
