Impact of Financial Leverage on Dividend in case of Private Indian Banks

With the privatization and entry of private banks in this sector, the banking scenario is changing. Banks are also under the pressure to pay dividend to their shareholders. In this scenario, it becomes very important to know if there is any difference in dividend paid by nationalised banks and private banks. In this study efforts have been made to find out the impact of financial leverage on dividend paid by private banks in India. This is a quantitative research in which the relationships have been developed in the form of statistical model. A co-relational research design has been adopted to find out whether there exists any co-relation between dividend and financial leverage of private banks in India or not.
