Discussion

The performance of banks are measured using CAMEL

model and it determines the efficiency of the banks on the
basis of five factors laid down by CAMEL model.

This study has been conducted to examine financial

performance of three listed banks in Kerala during 2018-
2019. This study is based on measuring performance of banks
with respect to CAMEL model and shows that Federal bank
shows the best performance comparing to South Indian bank
