The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the banking sector is examined in this research paper, which examines bank stock prices of Indian Banking Stocks. The study investigates the impact of performance of banking stocks and the policy announcements made by the Indian government, using the database of policy responses of the country during the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, we find that liquidity position, borrower patterns, and monetary easing has reduced the negative effects of the crisis, however the extent to which these factors did so differed extensively in different banking sectors of India . The findings show that the COVID-19 pandemic and banks' anticipated countercyclical lending role have put banking systems under substantial stress, with bank equities outperforming their standards.
