State-owned bank stocks, including those of PNB, Canara Bank, Syndicate Bank and Dena Bank, could yield decent returns for investors if market sentiment turns around, according to a few analysts.

Frauds in the banking sector have seen a steady rise. The country's public sector banks have reported frauds amounting to nearly Rs 9000 crore to the Reserve Bank of India.

Shares of Canara Bank gave up gains in line with the trend in the broader markets a day after the bank reported its loan book grew at a slow pace of 10% compared with the industry average of 16%.

A press release from the bank said that the products and facilities would enable customers to avail themselves of the service from anywhere, anytime.
