It divulges the existing literature review and discovers the research gap from the current body of the knowledge, and lays a path for future researchers and guides them in a proper direction. In this paper authors have given a detailed literature categorizing intofour major categories, where first part deals with determinants of profitability, second part deals with determinants of efficiency, third part deals with determinants of Non-Performing assetsand the last part describes the impact of governance practices on a bank’s performance.
