Abstract

A strong and stable banking sector is vital for the development of an economy. An extraordinary development has been noticed in the banking system of India in the last few years. The scenario of the Indian banking sector has changed due to liberalization, globalization, and various financial sector reforms. After several financial crises in the banking sector across the globe, the financial stability and soundness of the banking sector became a critical issue, and it created the need for uniform banking regulations all over the world. For this purpose, Bank for International Settlements (BIS) formed the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. This committee framed the Basel Capital Accords of Basel I in 1988, Basel II in 2004 and Basel III in 2010. The objective of this paper is to review the available literature on the Basel III norms and their impact on Indian public sector banks. The empirical studies of the last seven years (2013-2020) have been reviewed in this paper. This paper reveals that the new capital regulation will benefit the banking sector in several ways like a strong and stable financial system and increase the shock-absorbing capacity of banks. Indian banks will have to face various difficulties in its implementation such as a decline in profitability, a higher level of NPAs, and heavy cost of borrowed funds.
