The Bankometer model has been developed by International Monetary Fund to identify financial soundness of banks. The Model helps to find the solvency scores of the banks to avoid insolvency issues and to measure the financial position by taking into account the contribution of each ratio in the model according to the IMF (2000) norms. The present study attempts to make comparison between top 5 public & private sector banks (Market Capitalization) on the basis of Bankometer model from a time period of 2010 -2020. The top 5 public sector banks undertaken for study are SBI, IDBI , PNB , UBI & BOB & The top 5 private sector banks undertaken for study were HDFC , Kotak Mahindra bank , ICICI , Axis & Bandhan bank. For all the banks solvency score (S) has been calculated. It was concluded from the study that the S-score of private banks is more than public banks, which implies that the financial position of private sector banks is better than public sector banks. Among the public sector banks SBI bank is the most solvent bank & Bank of Baroda held the last position , whereas among the private sector banks HDFC bank is the most solvent bank & Bandhan bank is ranked last .
