This document presents a literature review on insolvency risk of commercial banks in India. It summarizes 12 research papers on topics related to measuring and analyzing insolvency risk of various types of Indian banks from 2000-2015. The review finds that non-performing assets, size, capitalization, and deregulation can impact banks' insolvency risk. It also examines how reforms and Basel II norms have helped reduce risk for banks. The document aims to measure insolvency risk for public, private, rural and foreign banks in India from 2006-2015.

Indian banks in the new millennium are introducing
new and better products and services in order to retain
their existing customers and acquire new ones. In this
rapid changing environment banks are compelled to
encounter various types of risks.
Measure the insolvency risk of selected Indian banks
during the period 2000-01 to 2009-10 and also identify the
key factors affecting insolvency risk.

Objectives
⦿ To measure the liquidity, profitability and solvency of Public, Private, Rural and foreign banks.
⦿ To examine the financial viability of commercial banks in India.
⦿ Bring uniformity among banks in their conduct, performance, cost minimization and on the risk management
front in all the sectors of the nation.
⦿ Improvement in the return on assets(net income), facilitated by higher spread and lower burden.
⦿ Minimizing insolvency leads to the maximize cash flow in banks as a organization.

Research Design
The entire study is based on the observations of 109 Indian commercial banks, of which 27 are from Nationalized Sector Banks (PSB), 23 from Private Sector
Banks (Pr.SB) 30 Foreign Banks (FB) and from 29 from Rural Sector Banks, operating in India as on March 31, 2015.
The relevant secondary data is collected from Asian Journal of research in banking and finance published by Asian research consortium., for a period of 10 years
from 2006-07 to 2015-15.
The sample size consists of PSBs, except one whose data were not available for the study period. Similarly, some Pr.SB and FB operating in India were excluded
due to the non-availability of relevant data for the period of study.
Hannan and Hanweck’s probability of bankruptcy is based on the likelihood of return on assets being negative and larger than the capital-asset ratio.
The Z-index is used to forecast bank’s bankruptcy, but can profitably be used to study large private companies with low return on assets.
We will here take a look at the Z-index and use the same equation to calculate the Z-index for Indian banks throughout the section
7. PES University, 100Ft Ring Road, BSK 3rd STG, Bangalore- 560085
Research Design
Z= (ROA + CTA)/σ ROA
Where,
ROA (Return on Assets) = Net Income/ Total Assets
Capital on Assets (CTA)= Equity Capital/ Total Assets
σ ROA is the standard deviation of pre-tax ROA.
Higher values of Z imply lower bankruptcy risk because higher values of Z correspond to higher levels of equity relative to a potential shock
to the earnings of a bank.
Thus, banks with risky loan portfolios can maintain a low risk of bankruptcy as long as they are adequately capitalized.

Research Gap
• The study has covered all the relevant data until 2015, 2016 September was the last issue released about the ROA and CTA.
• The research has segregated the Banks into mainly 4 sectors i.e., Private, Public, Nationalized and Rural sector in particular.
•The Rural sector mainly comes into limelight in pertinence to the study which gives us a brief picture on how rural banks are
working on the whole.
9. Research Sample Method
Cochran (1977) developed a formula to calculate a representative sample for proportion as
n0 = z2pq
e2
Here, Z=1.96,P =0.50,q=0.50 and precision=0.10 (10%) of the whole data available on the
database
Sample size is approximated to 96 by using Cochran’s Formula. To increase the accuracy rate
109 samples are taken

The Indian banking industry has seen many ups and downs in its history of evolution. In the present
study, an attempt is made to measure the insolvency risk of the selected Indian commercial banks
during the period 2005-06 to 2015-16.
Around 109 commercial banks from rural sector, nationalized sector, private sector and foreign sector operating in
India were included under the study.
Z-index is used to measure the insolvency risk. It is observed from the analysis of insolvency risk that
“Bankruptcy of the Rural Banks is higher when compared with Nationalized, Private and Foreign banks”.
Conclusion
