Dear Yuval, 

Thanks very much for your comment, I did not mention this in the post. By 'bank efficiency' I mean how efficiently banks are using their resources to maximise (minimise) their profits (costs).  Following 'intermediation' approach, I selected bank input and output variables.

Dear Khurshid,

Unfortunately, your question is not very well defined. The term "Inefficiency" in Economics have many interpretations. It could be inefficiency to society, in which case Banks are highly inefficient, because they are discriminating Monopolies, it could be inefficiency of the Bank, namely the Bank does not maximizes profit, and it could be inefficiency in terms of rational expectation theory, namely price movements in the market are not random.

Before you go on, my suggestion to you is to make some search of the academic literature either in google scholar or econlit.
