Using Z-score test for four different ratios namely, working capital to total assets, retainedearnings to total assets, earnings before interest and taxes to total assets and equity to total asset, thestudy finds that all commercial banks in India are distress free except three banks. There is asignificant difference in the value of Z-score of public and private sector banks.
