However, HDFC, Axis and ICICI banks are the top most private sector banks of India, so these are having more customer base, hence more chances of default. The study is based on quantitative data, for that questionnaire have been developed on google sheet and that was distributed through among 600 bank employees of three banks and out of which only 152 employees filled the questionnaire completely. After collection of the data, SPSS analysis was done, where chi square test was applied to some of the variables. The outcomes of the study are All the three banks were found to have low NPAs. The common reasons of having NPAs in the banks were found to be the lack of financial resources, defaults by customers, lack of legal policies, and lack of supervision.
