Abstract

Microfinance institutions (MFIs) are defined as organizations delivering economic services to low-income and poor families who do not have access to proper financial organizations. Many MFIs are offering financial services in different part of India, but only a few of them are performing well. The present chapter attempts to measure the efficiency level and its determinants of a sample of 25 microfinance institutions (MFIs) operating in India for 2014 by applying data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach. It is found that there are wide variations of the efficiency levels of the selected MFIs and the efficiency is found to vary with age and the number of branches of these institutions.
