A detailed comparison of Top 5 Private Banks on 19 different quantitative parameters based on Q2 FY22 results is discussed here. HDFC Bank vs ICICI Bank vs Kotak Mahindra bank vs Axis Bank vs IndusInd Bank

Introduction:

Private Sector Banks are those banks that are controlled and managed by Private entities, unlike Public Sector Banks which are controlled by Government. Both the banks are regulated by the Central Authority of India i.e., the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Currently, there are 21 Private Sector Banks in India.

In the current situation, around 35% of the market share of the banks in India are owned by the Private Sector, and a major portion i.e., 65% of market share is owned by the Public Sector, but it seems that this scenario will turn in favor of Private Sector in the coming years.
