Perception is the process by which an individual select,
organizes, and interprets information inputs to produce a
significant pictures of the world.
Perception depends not merely on the physical stimuli‟s
relation to the surrounding and field and on state within
the individuals.
The consumption pattern and purchase habits style to
favor local, freshly made products. The capability of
chocolate companies to enter this market could provide
unprecedented with may be tempering of income pyramid
and introduction of small price packs.
7.2. Company Profile
“CAMPCO” is the tiny name of the Central Areca nut and
Cocoa Marketing and Processing Co-operative Limited.
CAMPCO was registered on 11th July in the year 1973,
under section 7 of Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act
of 1959. The major activity of CAMPCO is procuring and
marketing of Areca nut and as well manufactures chocolates. CAMPCO was set up with lively support of Karnataka and Kerala Government. The growers who were
getting a realistic price faced a sudden marketing crisis
during the year 1970-71 when the price of the areca nut
began to decrease. The condition worsened during 1972
and the price of areca nut cut down to such an extent that
the growers could get only half of the price. But the cost
of living was increasing as the cost of input was steadily
augmented. This created accurately a panic among the
growers. There was no planned marketing arrangement
for areca nut.
Later on the Karnataka Government constituted an expert
committee, which recommended to the State Government
to organize a Central agency also in the public or the
co-operative sector. With the help of Government of
Karnataka and Kerala, the “Central Areca nut Marketing
and Processing Co-operative Limited” popularly recognized as “CAMPCO” on 11th July 1973 under section 7
of the Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act 1959.
Varanasi Subraya Bhat (87), the chief promoter of and the
brain behind the beginning of the Central Areca nut and
Cocoa Marketing and Processing Cooperative, a joint
venture between the states of Karnataka and Kerala,
passed away following prolonged illness at his residence
at Adyanadka in Bantwal taluk on Friday, December 27.
9. Data analysis and interpretation
8. Theoretical background of the study

Data analysis and interpretation are central steps in the
research process involves breaking down presented complex factor into straightforward parts and putting the part
together in new arrangement for the purpose interpretation. Hence the objective of investigation is to summaries
the data in such a manner that they provide answer to the
questions that the research interprets.
Interpretation is the research for broader means of research findings from side to side interpretation the meaning and implementation becomes apparent. Analysis it‟s
not complete technique interpretation and interpretation
cannot proceed without investigation systematically so as
to appear and findings through interpretation these are
two methods to analyze collected data one method
through graphical figure representation and the other
through table.

of their huge choices, customers drift down to the offerings that best meet up their individual needs and expectations making customers play very essential role in today‟s
marketing circumstances. A motivated person is prepared
to act. How a motivated person in reality acts is influenced by his or her perception of the condition.

Abstract
The study is significant for several reasons. First and foremost, it explains Non-Performing Assets, which
contributed to transformational changes in banking since liberalization, i.e., 1991. Banking regulators
and financial pundits focused their attention to curb the menace of Non-Performing Assets, but it still
remains disturbing banking progress worldwide. Even though Non-Performing Assets ratios indicate significant improvements in Non-Performing Assets management, it may not clearly indicate the clear picture on Non-Performing Assets trends. This study is useful since it provide an understanding on whether
Indian banking could manage its Non-Performing Assets during post-millennium period. We extend our
study to include Non-Performing Assets from bank-group wise that provide understanding on management of Non-Performing Assets by different bank groups.
Keywords
Non-performing assets, Debt recovery measures.
1. Introduction
the two Narasimhan Committee Reports in this contemporary period have been neutralized by the ill effects of
this surging threat. Despite various correctional steps
administered to solve and end this problem, concrete
results are eluding. It is a sweeping and all pervasive
virus confronted universally on banking and financial
institutions. The severity of the problem is however
acutely suffered by Nationalized Banks, followed by the
SBI group, and the all India Financial Institutions.
Granting of credit for economic activities is the major
duty of banking. Apart from raise resources through
fresh deposits, borrowings and recycling of funds received back from borrowers constitute a major part of
funding credit dispensation activity. Lending is generally
encouraged because it has the effect of funds being
transferred from the system to productive purposes,
which results into economic growth. However lending
also carries a risk called credit risk, which arises from the
failure of borrower. Non-recovery of loans along with
interest forms a major hurdle in the process of credit
cycle. Thus, these loan losses affect the bank’s profitability on a large scale. Though complete elimination of
such losses is not possible, but banks can always aim to
keep the losses at a low level.
Non-performing Asset (NPA) has emerged since over a
decade as an alarming threat to the banking industry in
our country sending distressing signals on the sustainability and endurability of the affected banks. The positive
results of the chain of measures affected under banking
reforms by the Government of India and RBI in terms of
NPA generate a vicious effect on banking survival and
growth, and if not managed properly leads to banking
failures. Many researches including Chijoriga, MM
(2000) showed the relationship bank failures and higher
NPA worldwide.
2. Objectives of the study

To analyze the NPA and its relation with
operating profit of the bank.

To study the general reasons for assets
becoming NPAs.

To point out the amount of NPA in Lakshmi
Vilas bank.

its intermediation role in a well-organized manner. The
thrust of these reforms was to promote a diversified,
well-organized and competitive financial system, with
the ultimate aim of improving the allocative effectiveness of resources through operational flexibility, improved financial feasibility and institutional strengthening. MY.Reddy, further states in his another article
“Global Financial Turbulence and the Financial Sector in
India A Practitioner’s Perspective” as under
The prudential norms connecting to income recognition,
asset categorization and provisioning, introduced during
1992-93, are being incessantly monitor and refined to
bring them on par with international best practices. In
keeping with this, several measures were initiated in
2005-06. The requirements for standard assets were revised increasingly in stages in November 2005, May
2006 and January 2007, in view of the sustained high
credit growth in the real-estate sector, personal loans,
credit card receivables, and loans and advances qualify
as capital market disclosure and a higher default rate
with regard to personal loans and credit receivables,
which emerge as a matter of concern.
3. Scope of the study

Scope of the study here was restricted to the
organization only.

The scope is limited to draw conclusions from
analysis and interpretation of the primary and secondary
data.

The study covers finding out the strategy
required to reduce NPAs.

The data is based on the primary, secondary
data collected from web sources and journals.
4. Methodology of the study
Primary Data
The primary data have been collected through personal
communication with bank manager and employees.
Secondary Data
The secondary data has been collected from annual report of the bank. The information is also collected from
textbooks and web sources.
Meenakshi Rajeev, H P Mahesh (2010) studied banking
sector reform and NPAs in Indian commercial banks to
look at the trends of NPAs in India from various dimension and to explain how immediate recognition and self
monitor has been able to reduce it to a great extent. The
study analyzed the different phase of NPAs like NPA in
India relative to other countries, NPAs of Indian banks
as per the different sector and recovery of NPAs through
a variety of channels. It was found that NPAs in the
causal factor for crisis in the economy and root cause of
the recent global financial crisis. It was observed that
NPAs in Priority sector is still higher than that of non
priority division due to socio economic aim of bank.
5. Limitations of the study
As the study undertaken to fulfill the academic requirement it is bound to have certain limitations, most prominent among them are The study is based only on NPA section of the
bank.
 Time factor is other limitation in this study,
because the bank officials didn’t have proper time
to meet and solve queries.
6. Literature Review
Review of literature is important part of study or research. It enables to understand different aspects of study
or the problems to be investigated. On this background a
brief review of literature on Non Performing Asset is
given below.
The concept of Nonperforming assets was introduced
following introduction of income Recognition and Classification, in the year 1993. Y.V Reddy, in his article
“Reforming India’s Financial sector changing dimensions and emerging issues” has described the background
for financial sector reforms as under
“India embarked on a strategy of economic reforms in
the wake of a balance of payments crisis in 1991; a central plank of these was reforms in the financial sector
and, with banks being the mainstay of financial intermediation, the banking segment. At the same time,
reform was also undertaken in various segments of financial markets to enable the banking sector to perform
7. Figures and Tables
Gross NPA ratio= (Gross NPAs/Gross Advances)*100
Gross NPAs are the sum total of all loan assets that are
classified as NPAs as per RBI Guidelines as on Balance
Sheet date. Gross NPA is advance which is considered
Irrecoverable, for bank has made provisions, and which
is still held in banks' books of account. Gross NPA reflects the quality of the loans made by Banks. It consists
of all the nonstandard assets like as sub-standard, doubtful, and loss assets.

According to International norms the net NPA should not
be more than 1%. In Lakshmi Vilas Bank the Net NPA is
not less than 1%. So it is not a good sign. In 2010-11 net
NPA was less than 1%. There after it was found a huge
hike every year and that will affect the banks profit
earning.

Interpretation
According to international norms, the Gross NPA should
be less than 3%. Lakshmi Vilas bank has met the
benchmark in terms of Gross NPA ratio. The bank’s
gross NPA was low only in 2010-11 and all other years it
crossed 3% mark. So increases in NPA add affected to
the profit of the bank.Net NPA Ratio
Net NPAs are those type of NPAs in which the bank has
deducted the provision regarding NPAs. Net NPA shows
the actual burden of banks. Since in India, bank balance
sheets contain a huge amount of NPAs and the process of
recovery and write off of loans is very time consuming,
the provisions the banks have to make against the NPAs
according to the Central bank guidelines are quite significant.

 Table depicts that Total NPA of LVB has been in an

crores and a standard deviation of 149.65 crores. The
overall Total NPA level during the study period from
2009-10 which stood at 325.18 crores increased year
by year (expect 2010-11) and stood at Rs. 546.46
crores in 2013-14.
9. Conclusion
The overall NPA position in the banking industry is in
deceasing trend; however the position of NPA in Total
Advances of LVB is increasing all through the time of
study. So it is concluded that the bank should concentrate
more and more on recovery of advances which is an imperative need of the bank. The bank should concentrate
more on selecting right borrowers, pre-sanction appraisal, post sanction follow up, and then only they may
have an appeaseable reduction on NPA position.
8. Findings
The various findings of the above study are listed below

According to international norms, the Gross
NPA should be less than 3%. Lakshmi Vilas Bank has
not met the benchmark in terms of Gross NPA ratio.

During the year 2010-11 the Gross NPA is
very less comparing to 5 years data (1.95). And from the
year 2011-12 to 2013-14 it is showing a hike, in the year
2013-14 it crossed the 3% limit (4.24) which is not a
good sign.

According to international norms the net NPA
should not be more than 1%. In Lakshmi Vilas Bank the
Net NPA stands at 0.90% in the year 2010-11 and 3.44%
in the year 2013-14 which is not good indication as far as
the profitability of the bank is concerned.

As the Net advances are increasing since 2009
till date, there has been an increase in Net NPAs as well.
There was a drastic increase in Net NPA in the year
2012-13 and 2013-14 which was Rs.283.80 crores and
Rs.443.39 crores respectively.

Abstract
In this study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the performance evaluation of Top 5 Equity Linked
Savings Schemes of tax saving mutual funds in India. Performance has been analysed on the basis of average monthly return compared to Indian stock market bench mark s&p cnx nifty. For this purpose,
risk-adjusted performance measures suggested by Sharpe, Treynor and Jenson have been used. Last five
years net asset value of tax saving schemes from 2010-14 has been employed and the fund choosen for
study are Reliance Tax Saver Fund, HDFC Tax Saver, ICICI Prudential Tax Saver, Franklin India Tax
Shield, Birla SL Tax Relief 96. It is found that Reliance Tax Saver & HDFC Tax Saver fund performed
well during the entire study period. All the schemes follow the same pattern in its return and moves along
with the stock market index s&p cnx nifty.

1. Introduction
ing mutual funds for the past five years from 2010 to
2014. The study utilizes the benchmark index s&p cnx
nifty to compare mutual fund performance. The rest of
the study is organized as summarizing the related literature on mutual fund performance, presenting data and
methodology, results of the tax saving mutual funds performance
analyses and final section discusses the conclusion of
this paper.
Majority tax assessee likes to save their money without
paying tax. To escape from paying tax they have to invest required amount in to tax shielded avenue. Along
with tax exemption they expect return out of it. Tax
Saving Mutual Fund is one of the avenues which provide
market related return with tax exemption. Investors can
avail tax exemption of Rs.1,00,000 by investing into tax
saving mutual funds. Mutual fund industry is emerged in
1964 in India and developed enormously. It is a general
idea that through diversified portfolio mutual funds could
give returns with low risk than the market risk and the
volatility of the mutual fund market is less than the stock
market. An investor, who is invested into stock market
need to monitor the market on regular basis, Whereas,
those who invested into mutual fund no need to watch
the market movement for reducing the loss. The fund
manager of every Asset Management Company takes
care of the investors’ money. They diversify the investors’ money into various sectors like oil, bank, automobile, information technology, agriculture, etc., the return
from this diversified portfolio distributed to all the investor. This study evaluates the performance of tax sav-

2. Scope of the study
Sharpe (1966) explains in a modern portfolio theory
context that the expected return on an efficient portfolio
and its associated risk (unsystematic risk) are linearly
related. By incorporating different concepts he developed
a Sharpe index. He provides two potential explanations
for the result that the cross – sectional variation is either
random or due to high fund expenses or the difference is
due to management skills
This study is limited to five Equity Selected Linked
Saving Schemes as applicable to saving of income tax.
Schemes picked based on the reputation of the ELSS,
only last 5 years data used to evaluate the performance.
Only ELSS growth option NAV used for the study.
3. Methodology of the study
Primary Data
The primary data refers to the data collected from direct
questioning. The information for the study was collected
through interaction with concerned Branch heads & other
employees of the company.
.
Mishra, ET AL., (2002) measured mutual fund performance using lower partial moment. In this analysis by
evaluating portfolio performance based on lower partial
moment are developed.
Secondary Data
This type of data refers to the gathering of information
from the sources that have “readymade data” already in
possession. This data has already been collected & complied.
Information has gathered from the company brochures,
periodicals, websites, Annual reports & other books.
After gathering the data from the sources, the data be
analyzed, tabulated, interpreted & at last conclusions
were made regarding the entire project.
6. Equations
The most commonly used composite measures are
Treynor, Sharpe & Jensen measures.
1. Risk-Return Analysis
Portfolio Return= Ending NAV- Beginning NAV/
Beginning NAV
Portfolio Return= P1-P0/P0
Where P1= Ending NAV, P0=Initial NAV
4. Limitations of the study
Market Return=NIFTY 1- NIFTY O/ NIFTY O
As the study undertaken to fulfill the academic requirement it is bound to have certain limitations, most prominent among them are Limited time was the major limitation.
 The study is limited to only ELSS growth
Schemes available under the mutual funds.
 Some of the relevant data regarding Mutual
Fund schemes unavailable.

5. Literature Review
Prof.Kapesh P Prajapathi had conducted a study on
“Comparative study on performance evaluation of Indian
companies”. During this paper the performance evaluation of Indian mutual funds is carried out through relative
performance index, risk-return analysis, Trynor‟ s ratio,
Sharpe‟ s ratio, Jenson‟ s measure. The data used is
daily closing NAV‟ s. The source of data is website of
Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). The results of performance measures suggest that most
of the mutual funds have given positive return during
2007 to 11.

5. Beta
In finance, the beta (β) of an investment is a measure of
the risk arising from exposure to general market movements as opposed to idiosyncratic factors. The market
portfolio of all investable assets has a beta of exactly 1.
A beta below 1 can indicate either an investment with
lower volatility than the
Market or a volatile investment whose price movements
are not highly correlated with the market.
From the above table it is clear that during the year 2010
& 2014, the Reliance tax saver has the highest Alpha
compared to other ELSS schemes. It shows the higher
the portfolio returns in terms of its alpha
compared to other schemes during last 5 years. Positive
value for Jensen's alpha means a fund manager has outperformed the market with his or her stock picking skills.
Therefore, it shows us that fund manager is performing
well in getting the better returns for customers for taking
risk.

The market portfolio of Beta is exactly one. In the year,
2010 Reliance & HDFC tax saver fund had a high beta
value compared to others. From year, 2010-2014 all
schemes beta values decreased that shows the fund
managers are not aggressive and taking higher risk in
investments. Overall ICICI looks less risky & its beta
values are very low.

The above table shows in the year 2014, Reliance tax
saver has performed well against the nifty index and other ELSS has not performed well with the market return.
So we can tell that Reliance has performed well with
market.

Among the selected ELSS Schemes Reliance
Tax Saver has highest Beta values and ICICI
Prudential Tax Saver has the lowest Beta
values.
The AUM of the HDFC Tax Saver stood at
4,794 cr during the year 2014 which is highest
compared to other ELSS.
In the year 2014, apart from ICICI Prudential
Tax Saver rest all ELSS have outperformed the
Nifty Returns.
Reliance Tax Saver Alpha values are better
when compared to other ELSS from last 5
years.
Investing in ELSS helps investors save tax &
grow money.
The AUM of Asset Management Companies
had continuously grown in last 5 years i.e., a
record of 100% growth.
Reliance tax saver has performed well in terms
of returns, risk premium, Sharpe’s ratio &
Treynor’s ratio during the last 5 years period,
compared to other tax saver funds.
From the study, Reliance Tax Saver & HDFC Tax Saver
performed well better than the Franklin Tax Shield,
ICICI Prudential Tax Saver & Birla Sun Life Tax Saver.
Reliance Tax Saver has done a good job & got a more &
more returns compared to other companies funds. The
performance evaluation measures like beta, Sharpe’s,
Treynor’s; Jenson’s etc. indicates the performance of
various mutual fund schemes. At the same time, they are
consistent in giving returns to the investors.
Therefore, Reliance Tax Saver has the highest value,
which indicates that the customers who have invested in
this fund had gained more returns. The study shows that
the Reliance Tax Saver & HDFC Tax Saver growth
schemes are the best option for the consumers to invest,
in order to get more returns.

1. Introduction
banker he can collect interest on the entire amount of
loan sanctioned.
A Loan is a financial arrangement under which an advance is granted by a bank to borrower on a separate
called the loan account. When a loan is sanctioned to a
borrower, the entire amount of a loan is credited to the
account of the borrower and is paid to the borrower at
once, in one lump sum, either in cash or by transfer to
the credit of his account just as the disbursement of the
loan is made in lump sum, the repayment of the loan also
is, generally made in one lump sum. A loan is generally
granted for a short period of one year or more than one
year, say, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years, and 10 years etc. such
a loan is called term loan. If the loan is given for a period
ranging from one year to 5 years or 7 years, it is called a
medium term loan, and if it is given for still longer period, it is called a long term loan. A loan is granted either
against collateral securities or against the personal security of the borrower. In the case of loan, interest a
charged on the whole amount of loan sanctioned irrespective of the amount actually withdrawn by the borrower at quarterly or half yearly intervals. But the rate of
interest charged on a loan is slightly lower than that
charged on an overdraft and a cash credit. Generally a
An advance on the other hand, is a „credit facility‟
granted by the bank. Banks grant advances largely for
short-term purposes, such as purchase of goods traded in
and meeting other short-term trading liabilities.
Karnataka Bank Limited, a leading 'A' Class Scheduled

1,21,000 shareholders and more than 7 million customers. Today, this Bank has emerged as a leading financial
service institution in India.
6. Review of Literature
Narasimhan Committee (1991) emphasized on capital
adequacy & liquidity, Padamanabhan Committee(1995)
suggested CAMEL rating (in the form of ratios) to evaluate financial & operational efficiency, Tara pore
Committee(1997) talked about non-performing assets &
asset quality, Kannan Committee(1998) opined about
lending methods, Kapoor Committee(1998) recommended for credit delivery system & credit guarantee &
verma Committee (1999) recommended seven parameters(ratios) to judge financial performance & several
other committees constituted by Reserve Bank of India
to bring reforms in the banking sector by emphasizing on
the improvement in the financial health of the banks.
Experts suggested various tools & techniques for effective analysis & interpretation of the financial & operational aspects of the financial institutions specifically
banks. These have focus on the analysis of financial viability & credit worthiness of money lending institutions
with a view to predict corporate failure & incipient incidence of bankruptcy among these institutions

Karnataka Bank Ltd., which is one of the oldest banks in
south India, has a strong base and foot hold in banking
industry. From this study it is evident that Karnataka
Bank Ltd is performing well in the loans and advances.
The loan process is carried out effectively. The net profit
has grown over the years. The public are satisfied and
happy with the loans and are also willing to borrow from
the bank. Due to lagging in proper realizable security
from the borrowers, banks are facing difficulty to recover
its loans and advances.

After lending the amount, the attitude of the lender and
borrower are changing due to some circumstances. The
borrowers are turning towards wilful defaulters due to
some problem in procedure of debt realization. Bank has
continuous monitoring and follow up deficiency. Bank is
lagging in continuous check, inspections, guiding to the
borrowers as these are right of the banks. At the time
bank can ask for the required information as they needed
for the performance evaluation of the project. From the
banker‟s side the main faults are not having proper security or adequate security in some cases.
