Nine commercial banks have been selected for the study based on availability of data. This study has been conducted with the secondary data obtained from the financial statements, annual publications of NRB and even from the official website of respective banks for period 2009-2017. Six independent variables- size, business risk, profitability, growth, liquidity and asset tangibility have been included. To determine the variables, previous studies particularly of Baral(2004), Singh & Tandon(2012) and Basnet (2015) have been consulted. A descriptive research design has been adopted for the study.

A multiple regression model has been applied for analyzing the data.The researcher has been able to draw the conclusion that these factors size of the bank, profitability, liquidity, business risk and growth are statistically significant determinants of the commercial banks.
