  A bank that has a good CAR has enough capital to absorb potential losses. Thus, it has less risk of becoming insolvent and losing depositor's money.

  Provision Coverage Ratio (PCR): Apart from CAR, you also need to take a look at the bank's PCR and LCR ratios. Provisioning coverage ratio (PCR) is the percentage of funds that a bank sets aside for covering losses due to bad debts.

  So a high PCR ratio means asset quality issues are under control and the bank is not vulnerable.

  Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR): The LCR is designed to ensure that banks hold a sufficient reserve of high-quality liquid assets to allow them to survive a period of significant liquidity stress lasting 30 calendar days.
