Indicators behind the score
Each red flag shows the evidence from the company’s own filings and the financial or legal principle behind it. Points add to the 0–100 score.
Equity is zero or negative.
A financial institution with no equity cushion is technically insolvent; regulators intervene before this point.
Net loss in each of the last two years.
Sustained losses at a lender usually mean credit losses are outrunning provisions — a risk-management failure.

⚖️ Indian legal pathway — NBFC / housing-finance insolvency
- NBFCs and HFCs with assets of ₹500 crore or more can be taken to the NCLT only on an application by the RBI (IBC §227 read with the FSP Insolvency Rules, 2019) — e.g. DHFL (2019), SREI (2021), Reliance Capital (2021).
- The RBI usually supersedes the board and appoints an administrator first; RBI's PCA framework for NBFCs adds early restrictions.
- Warning signs: asset-liability mismatch, reliance on short-term commercial paper, rising stage-3 assets and rating downgrades.

Methodology
Score = capped sum of rule-based red flags across seven dimensions (liquidity, solvency, profitability, cash flow, sales trend, market signal, news). Ohlson O-score (1980) gives an accounting-based 1-year failure probability; Merton distance-to-default (Bharath & Shumway 2008) gives a market-implied probability. Financial institutions use a capital-based rule set. Recalculated every trading day from the latest filings, prices and news.
