Rastriya Banijya Bank has been excluded in this study due to the unavailability of annual audit report. Total number of observations were 182. The mean range, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, correlation analysis, and regression analysis statistical tools were used in this study. This study reveals that the return on equity is highly scattered in comparison to return on equity. Supplementary capital is highly spread in comparison to core capital ratio. There is low degree of positive relationship of return on assets with core capital ratio and supplementary capital ratio.
