Out of loan to industrialists against whom a debt exceeding Rs.50 crore remains pending & Standing as NPA on 30.06.2016 is Rs. 3,88,919 Crores in 2071 Accounts.
The concept of NPA is introduced by RBI to reflect a bank’s actual financial health in its balance sheet and as per the recommendations made by the Committee on Financial System (Chairman Shri M. Narasimham). The provisioning should be made on the basis of the classification of assets into different categories.
Government has taken various measures to deal with the issue of Non Performing Assets (NPAs) in Banking Sector especially in case of Public Sector Banks (PSBs). The Finance Minister said that there are two categories of defaulters, viz. those who are unable to pay back due to economic slowdown both in domestic and global market and other reasons outside their control as well as wilful defaulters including loans sanctioned without due diligence by the banks.
Prevention is better than cure says the old saying. It is very much true in the case of NPA also. But the pertinent question is whether the banks and Financial Institutions take such steps to prevent the account slipping into NPA.

Proper monitoring of credit in banks has assumed greater significance in the effective management of lending. The success of credit monitoring largely depends on two aspects namely the co-operation of the borrower clients in furnishing the required data and statements to the banks on time and the capacity and knowledge of the credit monitoring authorities to take timely decisions and corrective steps to keep the borrowal accounts in good health.
Following the recent downgrade of the country’s largest lender State Bank of India by credit rating agency Moody’s Investor Services, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has asked banks to focus on recovery and follow a stringent credit appraisal procedure. The RBI has asked banks to remain cautious in the wake of a higher-than-expected rate hike that could have an adverse impact on the asset quality of banks.
Union Finance Minister, Shri Pranab Mukherjee has stressed on the need to sustain and pursue the efforts currently underway to reform the international and national policy regimes for better managing the forces of globalisation, in serving the collective well-being of people. He was speaking after inaugurating the National Banking Conclave organised by ASSOCHAM on the theme ‘Challenges and opportunities in a Trillion Dollar Economy’, here today.
Guidelines on Asset Classification- All accounts need to be classified into four categories taking into account the degree of well defined credit weaknesses and extent of dependence on collateral security for realisation of the dues as given under :- 1. Standard Assets- Standard asset is one which does not disclose any problem and which does not carry more than normal risk attached to the business. Such an asset is not an NPA. However, Central Govt. Guaranteed advances, although categorized as NPA for the purpose of Income Recognition, are to be treated as Standard Assets (Govt Guaranteed) unless Govt repudiates its guarantee when invoked.
There can be variety of credit facilities. In the course of adhering to the terms and conditions; like borrowers, the Banks too can commit mistakes and there can not be any doubt in this regard. Looking at the provisions of the SARFAESI Act, 2002, the rules, the practice and few precedents; borrowers and also professionals alike are doubtful in getting relief from the specially constituted Debt Recovery Tribunal which entertains appeals from the borrowers under section 17 of the Act. I have heard many borrowers saying that the Debt Recovery Tribunals will support the Banks and their actions, and will not effectively listen to the grievances of the borrowers. Such an assumption on the functioning of Debt Recovery Tribunals and Appellate Tribunals may not be correct though the system needs to look within. The Courts too have understood the difficulties in approaching the Civil Courts in recovering the outstanding dues and the Courts have upheld the provisions of SARFAESI Act, 2002 with few suggestions in the Course.
