The banking industry plays a pivotal role in development and growth of the economy. The level of NPAs act as an indicator of the financial soundness of the banking sector. This study aims to investigate the impact of loan defaults on the profitability of public sector banks in India. Correlation analysis has been used to examine the relationship between loan defaults (gross NPAs), provisions for NPAs and profitability of public sector banks. Primary data has been collected by interviewing credit managers of different public sector banks in Mumbai to understand the factors considered for loan disbursals, recent trend in NPAs and steps taken by banks and regulatory authorities to address the same. The research utilizes secondary data from the annual reports of 5 public sector banks for the period of 2013 – 2022. The findings of the study reveal that increase in loan defaults has a significant negative impact on the profitability of public sector banks in India. The paper also highlights the systematic and efficient steps taken by the government in the recent years to mitigate loan default risks and maintain the profitability of public sector banks.
