Abstract

Main purpose of the present study is to know whether the dirty dozen bankrupt companies that were declared by RBI were also bankrupt companies according to Edward I Altman Z-score. Descriptive method was followed under quantitative research design using secondary source of data. Descriptive statistical measures like Mean, Standard Deviation, and Kurtosis were also used to know mean performance, consistency in performance, and degree of risk involved in terms of Z-Score and its components of each company under study. The select dirty dozen bankrupt companies were also bankrupt as per their Z-score which was found to be below the benchmark of 1.81 in case of manufacturing companies; and 1.23 in case of non-manufacturing and unlisted companies. Kurtosis of more than 2.5 indicates a very high degree of risk for investment as was observed in case of Amtek Auto, Electrosteel, Bhushan Steels, and Jaypee Infratech.
