Loans have to be paid back one day. Had this been realized by all, how nice life would have
been on this Planet. It would not have prompted the poet to say “Neither be a Lender, nor a
Borrower Be.” Alas! Given the realities in life, this could remain at best a wishful thinking.
So their business is to lend and lend more. Their proficiency; skill; competency are all tested
in how much they lend and how much they RECOVER and how quickly. Suffice it would be
to state that this can be likened to the vigour and strength with which one goes about after
fully recovering from any ailment. It is agreed by al beyond doubt “Recovery” is essential
and get “recovery” is very essential.
We know right form the appraisal stage up to the actual repayment stage the banks need to be
careful. We also know that once the money is in the hands of a borrower, attitudinal changes
take place. The borrower, with some few exceptions may be, feels a bit more complacent as
after all it is not this “own money” which is at stake. Therefore an attempt is made here to
put all that we know already proper perspective.

The most important problem that the Indian banks are facing is the problem of their NPAs. It
is only since a couple of years that this particular aspect has been given so much importance.
The banks have to overcome these difficulties properly in order to effectively counter the
competition faced by the foreign banks. With the framing of laws as per international
standards and setting up of Debt recovery tribunal we can say that steps have been taken in
this direction.
Banks in India have traditionally been saddled with very high Non-Performing Assets. The
banking sector was heading for a crisis in 2001 with NPA’s crossing a mammoth 64000
crores. Banks burdened with huge NPA’s faced uphill tasks in recovering then due to archaic
laws and procedures. Realizing the gravity of the situation the government was quick to
implement the recommendations of the Narsimham Committee and Andhuarjuna Committee
leading to the enactment of the SRESI ACT 2002.( Securitisation and Reconstruction of
Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act).
This Act gave the banks the much needed teeth to curb the menace of NPA’s. The non
performing assets (NPAs) of banks have at last begun shrinking. As reported from surveys, it
is understood that there has been substantial improvements in non performing assets and this
has been because of several measures such as formation of asset reconstruction companies,
debt restructuring norms, securitization, provisioning norms and prudential norms for income
recognition. The gross NPAs of the banking system are about 16 per cent of the total assets
of the nationalized banks as of 2000-01. This is against a global norm of about 5%. Hence
there is a long way to go before we can say that the NPA’s of our banks are under control.
The improvements in NPAs of individual nationalized banks have been in the order of 10%
to 20%, thanks to the various schemes and measures introduced. This paper addresses the
results we have achieved so far since the measures have been implemented and the thrust on
The crucial factor that decides the performance of banks now days is the spotting of non-
performing assets (NPA). NPAs are those loans given by a bank or financial institution
where the borrower defaults or delays interest or principal payments banks are now required
to recognize such loans faster and then classify them as problem assts.
Nearly 10% of the banks in Gujarat responded within a month for loan applications received
by them from their corporate clients. If was also found that 67 % of the banks used to
appraise loan proposals from their corporate clients with the viewpoint of recovery. In
Gujarat region it was found that about 62 % of the banker opined that there was a need to
evaluate the loan applications critically.
The respondents assigned highest weight to company’s current performance and the second
highest was assigned to company’s past performance. Around 10 % of the banks in Gujarat
recovered their dues on time from their corporate clients after maturity in Gujarat. The most
preferred measures were pervasion and legal action. The most common suggestion received
for improving the recovery system in Gujarat was regarding improving the judicial system
and delegating more power and autonomy to the banks.

Generally, banks do the business of money they take deposits of moneys from
client and give loan to the person who has need of money. But in this age, for the
convenience of customer, banks provides some other services to their customer
such as bankers cheque, overdraft, internet banking, ATM facility, paying of bills,
credit card, telegraphic transfer, insurance, demat etc.
For a people, it is difficult to keep a very big amount of money in his house safely.
So, people save their money to bank. Bank gives loan to the person who has need of
money and gets higher interest on it than the interest of deposit. The margin
between the interest of loan and interest of deposit is the income of bank.
As early as 2000 B.C. the Babylonians had developed a banking system. There is
evidence to show the temples of Babylon were used as banks. After a period of
time, there was a spread of irreligion, which soon destroyed the public sense of
security in depositing money and valuable in temples. The priests were longer
acting as financial agents. The Romans did minute regulations, as to conduct
private banking and to create confidence in it. Loan banks were also common in
Rome. From these the poor citizens received loans without paying interest, against
security of land for 3 or 4 years.
During the early periods, although private individual mostly did the banking
business, many countries established public banks either for the purpose of
facilitating commerce or to serve the government.
However, upon the revival of civilization, growing necessity forced the issued in
the middle of the 12 t h century and banks were established at Venice and Genoa. The
Bank of Venice established in 1157 is supposed to be the most ancient bank.
Originally, it was not a bank in the modern sense, during simply an office for the
transfer of the public debt.
In India, as early as the Vedic Period, banking, in most crude from existed. The
books of Manu contain references regarding deposits, pledges, policy of loans, and
rate of interest. True, the banking in those days largely mint money lending and
they did not know the complicated mechanism of modern banking.
This is true not only in the case of India but also of other countries. Although, the
business of banking is as old as authentic history, banking institutions have since

NON-SCHEDULED BANKS
The banks, which are not applicable as per the criteria of Scheduled Banks, are
called as a Non-scheduled Banks. These are very small banks.
The origin of the State Bank of India goes back to the first decade of the nineteenth century with
the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta on 2 June 1806. Three years later the bank
received its charter and was re-designed as the Bank of Bengal (2 January 1809). A unique
institution, it was the first joint-stock bank of British India sponsored by the Government of Bengal.
The Bank of Bombay (15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (1 July 1843) followed the Bank of
Bengal. These three banks remained at the apex of modern banking in India till their amalgamation
as the Imperial Bank of India on 27 January 1921.
Primarily Anglo-Indian creations, the three presidency banks came into existence either as a result of
the compulsions of imperial finance or by the felt needs of local European commerce and were not
imposed from outside in an arbitrary manner to modernise India's economy. Their evolution was,
however, shaped by ideas culled from similar developments in Europe and England, and was
influenced by changes occurring in the structure of both the local trading environment and those in
the relations of the Indian economy to the economy of Europe and the global economic framework.
The establishment of the Bank of Bengal marked the advent of limited liability, joint-stock banking
in India. So was the associated innovation in banking, viz. the decision to allow the Bank of Bengal
to issue notes, which would be accepted for payment of public revenues within a restricted
geographical area. This right of note issue was very valuable not only for the Bank of Bengal but
also its two siblings, the Banks of Bombay and Madras. It meant an accretion to the capital of the
banks, a capital on which the proprietors did not have to pay any interest. The concept of deposit
banking was also an innovation because the practice of accepting money for safekeeping (and in
some cases, even investment on behalf of the clients) by the indigenous bankers had not spread as a
general habit in most parts of India. But, for a long time, and especially up to the time that the three
presidency banks had a right of note issue, bank notes and government balances made up the bulk of
the invertible resources of the banks.
The three banks were governed by royal charters, which were revised from time to time. Each
charter provided for a share capital, four-fifth of which were privately subscribed and the rest owned
by the provincial government. The members of the board of directors, which managed the affairs of
each bank, were mostly proprietary directors representing the large European managing agency
houses in India. The rest were government nominees, invariably civil servants, one of whom was
elected as the president of the board.
The business of the banks was initially confined to discounting of bills of exchange or other
negotiable private securities, keeping cash accounts and receiving deposits and issuing and
circulating cash notes. Loans were restricted to Rs.one lakh and the period of accommodation
confined to three months only. The security for such loans was public securities, commonly called
Company's Paper, bullion, treasure, plate, jewels, or goods 'not of a perishable nature' and no interest
could be charged beyond a rate of twelve per cent. Loans against goods like opium, indigo, salt
woollens, cotton, cotton piece goods, mule twist and silk goods were also granted but such finance
by way of cash credits gained momentum only from the third decade of the nineteenth century. All
commodities, including tea, sugar and jute, which began to be financed later, were either pledged or
hypothecated to the bank. Demand promissory notes were signed by the borrower in favour of the
guarantor, which was in turn endorsed to the bank. Lending against shares of the banks or on the
mortgage of houses, land or other real property was, however, forbidden.
Indians were the principal borrowers against deposit of Company's paper, while the business of
discounts on private as well as salary bills was almost the exclusive monopoly of individuals
Europeans and their partnership firms. But the main function of the three banks, as far as the
government was concerned, was to help the latter raise loans from time to time and also provide a
degree of stability to the prices of government securities.
A major change in the conditions of operation of the Banks of Bengal, Bombay and Madras
occurred after 1860. With the passing of the Paper Currency Act of 1861, the right of note issue of
the presidency banks was abolished and the Government of India assumed from 1 March 1862 the
sole power of issuing paper currency within British India. The task of management and circulation
of the new currency notes was conferred on the presidency banks and the Government undertook to
transfer the Treasury balances to the banks at places where the banks would open branches. None of
the three banks had till then any branches (except the sole attempt and that too a short-lived one by
the Bank of Bengal at Mirzapore in 1839) although the charters had given them such authority. But
as soon as the three presidency bands were assured of the free use of government Treasury balances
at places where they would open branches, they embarked on branch expansion at a rapid pace. By
1876, the branches, agencies and sub agencies of the three presidency banks covered most of the
major parts and many of the inland trade centres in India. While the Bank of Bengal had eighteen
branches including its head office, seasonal branches and sub agencies, the Banks of Bombay and
Madras had fifteen each.
The presidency Banks Act, which came into operation on 1 May 1876, brought the three presidency
banks under a common statute with similar restrictions on business. The proprietary connection of
the Government was, however, terminated, though the banks continued to hold charge of the public
debt offices in the three presidency towns, and the custody of a part of the government balances. The
Act also stipulated the creation of Reserve Treasuries at Calcutta, Bombay and Madras into which
sums above the specified minimum balances promised to the presidency banks at only their head
offices were to be lodged. The Government could lend to the presidency banks from such Reserve
Treasuries but the latter could look upon them more as a favour than as a right.
Bank of Madras
The decision of the Government to keep the surplus balances in Reserve Treasuries outside the
normal control of the presidency banks and the connected decision not to guarantee minimum
government balances at new places where branches were to be opened effectively checked the
growth of new branches after 1876. The pace of expansion witnessed in the previous decade fell
sharply although, in the case of the Bank of Madras, it continued on a modest scale as the profits of
that bank were mainly derived from trade dispersed among a number of port towns and inland
centres of the presidency.
India witnessed rapid commercialisation in the last quarter of the nineteenth century as its railway
network expanded to cover all the major regions of the country. New irrigation networks in Madras,
of the eastern Terais, the hills of Assam and the Nilgiris into regions of estate agriculture par
excellence. All these resulted in the expansion of India's international trade more than six-fold. The
three presidency banks were both beneficiaries and promoters of this commercialisation process as
they became involved in the financing of practically every trading, manufacturing and mining
activity in the sub-continent. While the Banks of Bengal and Bombay were engaged in the financing
of large modern manufacturing industries, the Bank of Madras went into the financing of large
modern manufacturing industries, the Bank of Madras went into the financing of small-scale
industries in a way which had no parallel elsewhere. But the three banks were rigorously excluded
from any business involving foreign exchange. Not only was such business considered risky for
these banks, which held government deposits, it was also feared that these banks enjoying
government patronage would offer unfair competition to the exchange banks which had by then
arrived in India. This exclusion continued till the creation of the Reserve Bank of India in 1935.
Bank of Bombay
The Presidency Banks of Bengal, Bombay and Madras with their 70 branches were merged in 1921
to form the Imperial Bank of India. The triad had been transformed into a monolith and a giant
among Indian commercial banks had emerged. The new bank took on the triple role of a commercial
bank, a banker's bank and a banker to the government.
But this creation was preceded by years of deliberations on the need for a 'State Bank of India'. What
eventually emerged was a 'half-way house' combining the functions of a commercial bank and a
quasi-central bank.
The establishment of the Reserve Bank of India as the central bank of the country in 1935 ended the
quasi-central banking role of the Imperial Bank. The latter ceased to be bankers to the Government
of India and instead became agent of the Reserve Bank for the transaction of government business at
centres at which the central bank was not established. But it continued to maintain currency chests
and small coin depots and operate the remittance facilities scheme for other banks and the public on
terms stipulated by the Reserve Bank. It also acted as a bankers' bank by holding their surplus cash
and granting them advances against authorised securities. The management of the bank clearing
houses also continued with it at many places where the Reserve Bank did not have offices. The bank
was also the biggest tendered at the Treasury bill auctions conducted by the Reserve Bank on behalf
of the Government.
The establishment of the Reserve Bank simultaneously saw important amendments being made to
the constitution of the Imperial Bank converting it into a purely commercial bank. The earlier
restrictions on its business were removed and the bank was permitted to undertake foreign exchange
business and executor and trustee business for the first time.
The Imperial Bank during the three and a half decades of its existence recorded an impressive
growth in terms of offices, reserves, deposits, investments and advances, the increases in some cases
amounting to more than six-fold. The advances, the increases in some cases amounting to more than
six-fold. The financial status and security inherited from its forerunners no doubt provided a firm
and durable platform. But the lofty traditions of banking which the Imperial Bank consistently
maintained and the high standard of integrity it observed in its operations inspired confidence in its
depositors that no other bank in India could perhaps then equal. All these enabled the Imperial Bank
to acquire a pre-eminent position in the Indian banking industry and also secure a vital place in the
country's economic life.
When India attained freedom, the Imperial Bank had a capital base (including reserves) of Rs.11.85
crores, deposits and advances of Rs.275.14 crores and Rs.72.94 crores respectively and a network of
172 branches and more than 200 sub offices extending all over the country.
In 1951, when the First Five Year Plan was launched, the development of rural India was given the
highest priority. The commercial banks of the country including the Imperial Bank of India had till
then confined their operations to the urban sector and were not equipped to respond to the emergent
needs of economic regeneration of the rural areas. In order, therefore, to serve the economy in
general and the rural sector in particular, the All India Rural Credit Survey Committee
recommended the creation of a state-partnered and state-sponsored bank by taking over the Imperial
Bank of India, and integrating with it, the former state-owned or state-associate banks. An act was
accordingly passed in Parliament in May 1955 and the State Bank of India was constituted on 1 July
1955. More than a quarter of the resources of the Indian banking system thus passed under the direct
control of the State. Later, the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act was passed in 1959,
enabling the State Bank of India to take over eight former State-associated banks as its subsidiaries
(later named Associates).
The State Bank of India was thus born with a new sense of social purpose aided by the 480 offices
comprising branches, sub offices and three Local Head Offices inherited from the Imperial Bank.
The concept of banking as mere repositories of the community's savings and lenders to creditworthy
parties was soon to give way to the concept of purposeful banking sub serving the growing and
diversified financial needs of planned economic development. The State Bank of India was destined
to act as the pacesetter in this respect and lead the Indian banking system into the exciting field of
national development
The Bank is actively involved since 1973 in non-profit activity called Community Services Banking.

EW DELHI : President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam on Tuesday chalked out a seven-point action plan for
the State Bank of India (SBI) while urging the country's premier bank to create a Rs. 5,000-crore
venture capital fund and hike lending to the farm sector.
In his address at the SBI's Bicentennial Celebrations here, Mr. Kalam noted that within the next
three years, the bank should raise the credit to the farm and agro-processing sector from 10 to 20 per
cent of its total loan disbursal.
Agricultural growth, he said, was lagging behind while sectors such as manufacturing and services
were showing robust increases. A higher credit disbursal, he said, was essential to hike farm growth
to over four per cent as it was a vital requirement for increasing the overall Gross Domestic Product
growth to 10 per cent.
Unveiling his plan, Mr. Kalam asked the SBI to allocate Rs. 5,000 crores as venture capital from
2007-08 for the purposes of funding innovative scientists and technologists for speedier societal
transformation. This would include the development of ICT products, software development and
software services.
The President also advised the bank to create and nurture five rural development projects, on the
lines of the bio-fuel project and seaweed project, as it had the potential to provide employment to 50
lakh persons in the rural areas at the least.
Another sector with great potential, Mr. Kalam said, was medical tourism in which the bank could
extend funds at competitive interest rates for setting up corporate hospitals which would also serve
the rural areas. Likewise, yet another sector for the bank's participation, he said, was infrastructure
development, including provision of 50 million quality houses with basic infrastructure in rural areas
in association with state and Central entities.
Turning to the plight of villagers caught in the ``vicious cycle of borrowing,'' Mr. Kalam asked the
SBI to adopt a ``villager-friendly'' banking system to free them from the clutches of money-lenders.
Mr. Kalam also lamented that hassle-free loans were being extended by the SBI to students of only
the best engineering colleges, medical colleges and business schools. ``I would request the SBI to
examine the possibility of providing loans to students who would like to pursue science and
commerce as a career," he said.
Besides, ways should be found to fund the education of those meritorious students who could not get
admission to top engineering, medical and B-schools owing to stringent competition, Mr. Kalam
said.

the S. P. Jain Institute of Management. 50 officers have been enrolled in the programme on a trial
basis. Bank is strong in the areas of training & development through 4 apex level training colleges
and 45 learning centres across the country. ‘e-learning’ project has been launched to enable any
where, anytime learning.
(2) HRMS
For leveraging technology in employee management area, the Bank has started automation of its HR
processes through SAP-ERP-HRMS software. Once fully implemented, it will not only create a
central repository of all employees data but also will make available a variety of services, like online
request submission and viewing of individual data etc. to all the employees across the State Bank
group on an online ‘real time’ basis. HRMS will bring efficiency in HR operations and help the
Management in making employee related decisions faster. Pensioners of SBI, IBI and Associate
Banks will also form a part of this initiative and their pension will be processed through HRMS.
The Bank has launched Performance Linked Incentive Scheme for the Branch
managers/AGMs(Region)/ DGMs(Module) and Team Incentive Scheme for the staff members of the
Branch. The incentive scheme was launched with the aim of enthusing and motivating the staff
members of the Branch so that the bank is placed in a position to face the competition unleashed due
to liberalization of economy and maintain its lead over others. The scheme has been successful in
enthusing the staff and garnering Business for the Bank.
The Bank also launched Employees Share Purchase Scheme along with the Rights issue with the
Objective of providing incentive to Eligible Employees, to stimulate their efforts towards the
continued success of the Bank and to provide a Means to attract, reward and retain talent in the
Bank, to reward eligible employees as also to encourage equity ownership by them. The price was
fixed at Rs.1590/- (the face value of 1 share is Rs.10/-) per equity share. The Scheme Opened on
28.03.2008 and closed on 30.04.2008.
The process of consultation and discussion with both the staff and officers federations
continued during the year.
The industrial relations climate of the Bank remained cordial during the year.
The Bank had a total strength of 1,79,205 on the 31st March, 2008. Of this, 32.23% are officers,
42.87% clerical staff and the remaining 24.90% were sub-staff.
Our Bank provides reservation to persons with disabilities (PWDs) as per the guidelines of the
Government of India and section 33 of the PWD Act 1995. The total number of persons with
disabilities who were employed as on 31.03.2008 was as follows:
As on the 31st March, 2008, 34802 (19.42%) of the Bank’s total staff strength, belonged to
Scheduled Caste and 11460 (6.30%) belonged to Scheduled Tribes. In order to effectively redress
the grievances of the SC/ST employees, Liaison Officers have been designated at all administrative
offices of the Bank. Senior officials of the Bank hold regular meetings at periodic intervals with the
representatives of SC/ST Welfare Federation and SC/ST Welfare Association at Corporate Centre,
LHOs and Zonal Offices. The Bank conducts workshops on reservation policy for SCs/STs/OBCs.
So also, pre recruitment and pre-promotion training programmes are conducted by the Bank to
enable SC/STcandidates to achieve the prescribed standards to effectively compete with other
candidates.
Assets of a bank, generally, consist of cash investment, loans and advances, fixed assets and
miscellaneous assets. The resources of a bank are deployed in these assets. The resources consist
of capital and reserves, deposits, borrowings and other liabilities. These liabilities are carried at a
cost and hence its deployments into various assets should generate enough income to service the
cost of the liabilities. In other words, the assets in which the liabilities are deployed should
perform in such a way that it generate income to cover the cost of resources and also a surplus,
which is a profit of the bank, Thus the performance of assets reflects the health of the banking
industry.
Earlier, the buzzword in the banking industry was deposits as it is the basic raw material for the
banking industry. The status of the bank was, determined on the volume and size of its deposits.
The career of bankers used to depend on the level of deposits achieved by him. Banks were not
bothered about the performance of their assets. But from 1991, a sea change was made in the
way income of banks was recognized. With the first generation economic and finance sector
reforms coming into being, the method of income recognition in
the banking sector was changed from accrual basis to cash basis. An income will be carried to
profit and loss account only of it is realized in cash in 90 days. This was like a bolt from blue for
deposit – happy bankers. All along, they were simply doing an accounting exercise in debiting a
loan account and credit the income account without bothering to see whether it is actually paid
Thus NPA has the potential to directly affect the economy of the country. Many big nations like
Japan are suffering from this disease of high NPA’s. Our country also now having a large
portion of bank credit locked in NPA’s and hence NPA is receiving greater importance of NPA’s
, that we thought to select it as a subject for Grand Project.
2 Research Objective
To identify reasons that lead to Standard assets of the bank becoming NPAs
3 Research Methodologies
• The sample size comprise of Twenty one Executives of State bank of India of
Rajkot.
The analysis of primary data is done with the help of computerized statistical tools.
The crucial factor that decides the performance of banks nowadays is the spotting of non-
performing assets (NPA). NPAs are those loans given by a bank of financial institution where
the borrower defaults of delays interest of principal payments.
Banks are now required to recognize such loans faster and then classify them as problem
assets. Close to 16 percent of loans made by Indian banks are NPAs-very high compared to 5
percent in advanced countries.
Banks are not allowed to book any income from NPAs. Also, they have to provide for these
NPAs, or keep money aside in case they can’t collect from the borrower, which affects their
profitability adversely.
Classification of NPAs
Performing/Standards Assets: Loan assets in respect of which interest and principal are
received regularly are called standard or performing assets. Standard assets also include loans
where arrears of interest and / or of principal do not exceed 90 days as at the end of a financial
year. No provisioning is required for such loans.
According to RBI (NPAs) :- Any loan repayment or interest thereof that is delayed beyond
90 days has to be identified as an NPA. NPAs are further sub-classified into sub-standard,
doubtful and loss assets:
Doubtful Assets: Loans which have remained non-performing for a period exceeding two
years and which are not considered as loss assets are known as doubtful assets. Major portions
of assets under this category relate to ‘sick’ companies referred to the Board for Industrial and
Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) and waiting finalization of rehabilitation packages.
Loss Assets: A loss asset is one where loss has been identified but the amount has not been
written off wholly or partly. In other words, such an asset is considered uncollectible. There
may be some salvage value.
The RBI has also laid down provisioning rules for the non-performing assets. This means that
banks have to set aside a portion of their funds to safeguard against any losses incurred on
impaired loans. Banks have to set aside 10 percent of sub-standard assets as provisions. The
provisioning for doubtful assets is 20 percent and for loss assets it is 100 percent.
(1) To identify assets and properties of borrowers and guarantors is a difficult exercise. Even
when banks get the decrees, execution may be difficult as the exact position of borrower’s/
guarantor’s properties may not be known .i.e. whether it is unencumbered, in good physical and
financial condition etc.
(2) Constraints of time and adequate staff to supervise and follow-up the large number of
accounts that are often scattered over wide areas, also hinders recovery effort. At times inadequate
transport and roads also hinders recovery effort. At times inadequate transport and roads also make it
difficult to reach borrowers.
(3) Despite the good intentions, it will depend on how fast the measures are implemented. Since
their introduction in 1994, DRTs have not been able to make a sound impact due to the lethargy on
the implementation front. Unless the Government takes concrete and speedy measures to strengthen
the Tribunals and streamline the legal systems, the DRTs will amount to deferring the NPA problem.
(4) As against 50 to 60 Judges in High Courts, the Act provides for only one presiding Officer
for each Tribunal. The appellate Tribunal has suggested that when the number of pending cases
exceeds 2000, Government should appoint another Presiding Officer. This suggestion needs to be
acted upon quickly to prevent further delay in the settlement of cases. Further, the Tribunals need to
have their own permanent staff instead of depending mainly on persons who are on deputation.
Delay in disposing of the cases (10 to 20 years) are prohibitive and expensive appeals
further delay the process of awarding decree. Also the interest is only 6% p.a. simple on
principal.
Suggestions
(b) For non payment of bank decretal dues parties to be put in civil imprisonment
without fail.
Empowering banks to acquire assets for disposal without intervention of courts. (sec. 29 of
State Financial Act.) This would work as deterrent against intentional defaulters.
(b) To be made compulsory for both borrowers and banks for settlement of smaller loans
(present limit 5. Lac)
(a) Relook into functioning of BIFR- whether objectives achieved since the ratio of cases
registered and cases dismissed/winding up was only 49% in 1996.
(b) Increase in number of benches-Housing separate benches for major cities like
Mumbai, Chennai.
(c) Time frame for rehabilitation (6 months).
(9) In the case of immovable property, recovery continues to be a problem even where the court
decree of certificate has been passed. While the Act provides for attachment and sale of property
after the court decree has been issued there is no provision to prevent a borrower from disposing off
the property while the suit is still on. DRT Act empowers Recovery Officers to recover the debt
through attachment and sale of movable or immovable property of the defendant but does not
explicitly mention how to enforce hypothecation, mortgage, etc.
(10) There are instances where the borrower has mortgaged the same property to
Several banks and availed facilities with predetermined criminal intention to
Cheat the banks with false and fabricated documents.
(11) Valuation reports of properties are inflated to suit the needs of the borrowers.
(12) Several problems have been faced by the banks while obtaining shares as
Collateral security. As the shares are not transferred in the name of the
Bank, Ultimately the matter has to be taken to the Company Law Board
(CLB) for Redressed, which, not to mention, consumes very much time.

Banks need to have better credit appraisal systems so as to prevent new NPAs from occurring.
However, once NPAs do come into existence, the problem can be solved only if there is
enabling legal structure, since recovery of NPAs often requires litigation and court orders to
recover stuck loans. With long-winded litigation in India, debt recovery takes very long time.
Banks are now working on utilizing the services of Debt Recovery Tribunals to solve this
problem. The government has also mooted the suggestion of an Asset Reconstruction Company,
which will be specialized agency set up for rehabilitating revivable NPAs (say, salvaging
projects which are inherently sound) and recovering funds out of unrevivable NPAs.
Other Strategies
Fixing up of budgets for profits and recovery rather than for advances. Budget oriented
approach, at times leads to release of credit facilities without ensuring compliance of
covenants of sanction. A suitable mechanism could be drawn at each Bank level to
provide monetary benefits/recognition to the operating staff particularly for recovery in
NPAs/write off cases.
There is a need to shift in PSBs approach from collateral security to viability of the
project and intrinsic strength of promoters.
During the initial processing of the proposal, it has to be ensured that the repayment
program for an item\equipment is fixed in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by
R.B.I. Awareness about R.B.I. guidelines should be increased at the branch level.
The central idea of recovery camp is to bring a maximum number of persons together at
one place and repay the loans. The recovery camps in addition to effecting recovery
create a proper climate for recovery.
In genuine cases, the banks can consider compromise proposal and a lot depends upon
the initiative of the branch manager in utilizing this facility.
There are guidelines for the operating staff of the banks for conversion./rescheduling of
loans in the areas affected by natural calamities. Crop loans can be made repayable over
period of one year in the event of crop loss.
Recovery targets should be fixed at the time of settlement of branch business budget.
Wherever the states have enacted laws on the pattern of the Talwar Model Bill, support
of the government machinery can be enlisted accordingly.
If the branches prepare village-wise action plans in this regard, it will be still appropriate
for the agencies to have a concerted effort towards recovery.
The branches may also compile detailed position of defaulters and share the same with
the convener banks and government authorities periodically.
In present times, when willful default has gained social acceptability, the branches can
initiate steps for devising schemes for giving recognition to good borrowers in various
meetings or functions organized by the branches. Further the problems of good borrowers
can be studied and their credit needs immediately met. By doing so, a culture of prompt
repayment may develop in the villages and doing so would simultaneously discourage
willful default.
The RBI introduced HCS in banks in 1985-86, this system provide the following
information:-
Regarding the Health of individual advances.
The quality of credit portfolio and
The extent of doubtful or bad advances in relation to total advances.
The RBI, since 1985, requires all commercial banks in India to provide information indicator
the quality of individual advances in the following eight categories:
1) Satisfactory: Conduct is satisfactory the account of the borrowing firm is in order in all
respect and its safety is not in doubt.
2) Irregular: Occasional irregularity is observed but the safety of the loan is not in question.
3) Sick Viable: Loan to sick units that are under nursing through the revival programmed.
The units, though currently sick, are viable.
4) Sick Non Viable: The irregularities continue to persist and there are no immediate
chances of accounts becoming regular.
5) Advances Recalled: Such loan accounts where repayment is highly doubtful and nursing
is not considered worthwhile, in case of such advances decision is taken to recall them.
6) Suit Filed account: Loan account where the recovery proceedings have been initiated.
7) Decreed Debts: Loan accounts where the recovery proceeding have been completed.
The RBI has classified problem loans with the banks in three categories.
(i) Advances classified as Bad and Doubtful by the bank [ Health Code No. 8]
(ii) Advances where suits were filed/ decrees obtained. [HC No.6 & 7].
(iii) Those advances with Major undesirable features [HC No.4 & 5 ].
EVALUATION OF HCS
Though the HCS provide for classification of assets it does not provide what action to take
regarding the improvement of quality of such assets.
Diversion of funds [as in 1 above] is the single most prominent reason. Moreover,
reversionary trends developing during expansion/diversification phase and failure to raise
capital/debt from public issue is also an important factor.
Internals factors [No.4 above] of business failure, inefficient management etc., are next
important in the creation of NPA.
Time/cost overrun during the project implementation stage leading to liquidity strain.
Other factors in their order of prominence are government policy changes, willful default,
fraud etc. and lastly deficiencies on the part of banks in the form of delay in release of limits
etc.
To tackle chronic NPA’s in priority sector RBI had come out with a one time measure
constitution of Settlement Advisory Committees (SACs) by banks. This was to promote
compromise settlement in small sector viz., SSI small business including trades, agricultural
and personal segments, Bankers need to appreciate the fact that compromise settlement is an
effective and accepted non legal remedy for recovery in chronic NPA. According the
scheme, applicable to NPA accounts which are at least 3 years old at 31-03-1999, was
effective up to 30 sept. 2000. There is a case for extending the deadline and matching these
guidelines applicable for compromise settlement in medium and large sectors.
EVALUATION
ADVANTAGES TO BORROWER
1) Settling for a lower payout than the contracted one, scaling down of dues.
2) Releasing assets charged to the bank
3) Saving time, energy and expense on defending the inevitable legal case.
4) Keeping avenues of bank finance open for further development needs.
5) Restoring status/position in the market/society, avoiding stigma of being branded as a
borrower who is litigant type.
1) Concept of time value of money i.e. “a bird in hand is worth two in bush”. The money
realized early could be invested/lent to earn.
standard accounts are only eligible to seek CDR Shelter. If 75% of the secured creditors
agree to the rehabitation plan, it is lending on the other banks/FIs.
The CDR is a voluntary system on debtor creditor agreement and inter-creditors agreement.
No banker/ borrower can take recourse to any legal action during the stand-still period of 90-
180 days. Lastly CDR will observe the RBI Guidelines on Debt Restructuring issued in
March 2001. While the arrangements under CDR seem to be feasible from the debt
restructuring perspective, its success depends upon the cooperation extended by borrowers
and bankers, on one hand, and understanding among banks and FIs on the other. Doubts are
raised about the implementation of these agreements taking into the present working of the
loan consortium arrangement.
CDR though is not directly linked with NPA recovery, is aiming at preserving viable
corporate affected by certain internal and external factors, and minimizing the losses to the
creditors and other stakeholders through a restructuring programme. Even though the CDR
system will be applicable only to standard and sub-standard accounts potentially viable cases
of NPA, are also to get priority.
EVALUATION:
The mechanism will be more effective if accepted by 75 % of term lending institution and 75
% of bank, which provide working capital instead of 75 % of total lenders.
These are voluntary agencies created by the state government to assist in matter of loan
compromise cases involving an amount upto Rs. 5 lakhs may be referred Lok Adalat. The
scheme includes all NPA a/cs. Both suit filed and mensuit filled MCS Lokadalats meet at
different places for the convenience if banks and borrowers on the given date of the
lokadalats meeting, both the banker and borrower should be present. After looking into the
evidence and listening to both parties, the lokadalats works out an acceptable compromise.
Thereafter, lokadalat issues a recover certificate, which will enable the bank in obtaining
decree from the concerned court. This arrangement shortens the period in obtaining a court
decree, which is normally awarded after taking a much longer period. Along with this, efforts
should be made to give wide publicity to the scheme, besides educating both banks and
borrowers about Lokadalats.
EVALUATION
Merits-
• There are no court fees involved when fresh disputes are referred to it.
• It can take cognizance of any existing suit in the court as well as look into and adjudicate
upon fresh dispute
• If no settlement is arrived at the parties can continue with the court proceedings
• Its decree has legal status and is binding.
• In view of this unique advantage the government is thinking of strengthening them and
raising the monetary limit set for referred cases
• It is observed that banks have not taken adequate advantage of Lokadalats for
compromise settlement of their NPAs
• No cut off date is suggested since Lokadalat is an on going process. But this may
contribute to increasing delays in settlement of cases.
• Most Lokadalats should be set up in different parts of country to set up the recovery
procedures.
The MOF has taken a number of steps to strengthen the DRTs. Banks and FIs now can
nominate one nodal officer for each DRP. There is a suggestion for setting up co-ordination
committees for DRTs a Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal with representations from major
banks and financial institutions.
In the context of recovery from NPAs, DRTs are assuming great importance since efforts are
to set up mere DRTs during this year and also to strengthen them. Though the recovery
through DRTs is at present less than two percent of the claim amount, banks FIs have to
depend heavily on them, efforts are as to amend the recovery Act to assign more power to
DRT. More importantly, the borrowers tendency to challenge the verdict of the Appellate
tribunal in the High court to seek natural justice needs to be checked. Otherwise, early
recovery efforts through DRTs would be futile. Secondly, training of residing officers of
Tribunals about the intricacies of banking practices is very essential. Further, the number of
Recovery officer has to be enhanced in every DRT for effective recovery. Finally, banker
It has been announced in the Union Budget for 2001-02 that the Govt. has decided to set up 7
more DRTs during 2001-02 in addition to the existing 22 DRTs, 5 Appellate Tribunals to
facilitate bank to quickly recover their dues from borrowers. Besides, the Govt. has proposed
to bring in legislation for facilitating foreclosure and enforcement of securities in case o
default so as to enable banks and financial institutions to realize their dues.
EVALUATION
The RBI has put in place a system for periodical circulation of details of willful defaults of
borrowers of banks and financial institutions. This serves as a caution list while considering
requests for new or additional credit limits from defaulting borrowing units and also from the
directors /proprietors / partners of these entities. RBI also publishes a list of borrowers (with
outstanding aggregating Rs. 1 crore and above) against whom suits have been filed by banks
and FIs for recovery of their funds, as on 31st March every year. It is our experience that
these measures had not contributed to any perceptible recoveries from the defaulting entities.
However, they serve as negative basket of steps shutting off fresh loans to these defaulters. I
strongly believe that a real breakthrough can come only if there is a change in the repayment
psyche of the Indian borrowers.
After a review of tendency in regard to NPAs by the Hon'ble Finance Minister, RBI had
advised the public sector banks to examine all cases of willful default of Rs 1 crore and
above and file suits in such cases, and file criminal cases in regard to willful defaults. Board
of Directors are required to review NPA accounts of Rs.1 crore and above with special
reference to fixing of staff accountability.
On their part RBI and the Government are contemplating several supporting measures
including legal reforms, some of them I would like to highlight.
EVALUATION
The ARCs will assist in cleansing the Balance Sheet of the weaker as well as potential
weak banks.
It will also try to identify possible conceptual glitches and legal infirmities in the
arrangement.
It is to be noted that given the inadequacies of SICA, BIFR, DRT’s foreclosures and
other recovery processes, an ARC may find it difficult to lead a viable existence.
Therefore, simultaneously it is required to make radical changes in bankruptcy and
recovery laws and procedures.
Under this scheme the banks liabilities will get transferred from one bank to another. The
total liability to the banking system would remain unchanged.
RBI is examining the recommendation of Kohli Group on willful defaulters. It is working out
a proper definition covering such classes of defaulters so that credit denials to this group of
borrowers can be made effective and criminal prosecution can be made demonstrative
against willful defaulters.
A Consultative Group under the chairmanship of Dr. A.S.Ganguly was set up by the Reserve
Bank to review the supervisory role of Boards of banks and financial institutions and to
obtain feedback on the functioning of the Boards vis-à-vis compliance, transparency,
disclosures, audit committees etc. and make recommendations for making the role of Board
of Directors more effective with a view to minimizing risks and over-exposure. The Group is
finalizing its recommendations shortly and may come out with guidelines for effective
control and supervision by bank boards over credit management and NPA prevention
measures. The report of the group is now published and discussed in another page.
In a recent circular, RBI has suggested to the banks to have a new asset category - `special
mention accounts' - for early identification of bad debts. This would be strictly for internal
monitoring. Loans and advances overdue for less than one quarter and two quarters would
come under this category. Data regarding such accounts will have to be submitted by banks
to RBI.
Borrowers having genuine problems due to temporary mismatch in funds flow or sudden
requirements of additional funds may be entertained at the branch level, and for this purpose
a special limit to tide over such contingencies may be built into the sanction process itself.
This will prevent the need to route the additional funding request through the controlling
offices in deserving cases, and help avert many accounts slipping into NPA category.
Introducing a `special mention' category as part of RBI's `Income Recognition and Asset
Classification norms' (IRAC norms) would be considered in due course.
INTRODUCTION:
The Corporation has been providing financial assistance to small and medium scale units.
While sufficient precaution is being taken at the time of appraisal of projects, disbursement
of loans and follow-up, yet some projects fail to generate adequate resources to repay dues
and lead to defaults. Some of these units can be revived and rehabilitated with need base
relief and concessions by the Corporation. However, at times, units are not in a position to
revive due to, long term problems and structural deficiencies. It would be appropriate for
Corporation to find an exit route as early as possible. Compromise/ One Time Settlement has
been found to be an effective tool of recovery in such stressed cases.
A comprehensive policy of One Time Settlement was approved by the Board of Directors in
March, 1999 and the same was implemented by Corporation with effect from 1st April, 1999
vide circular No.A-1 dated 31st March,1999, which contained detailed guidelines and
formats. The main purpose of the policy was to liquidate NPAs in time bound manner, which
had grown to Rs.597 Crores, and constituted 45.56% of the total loan outstanding of
Corporation. Subsequently, a need was felt to revise the policy based on the feed back
received from the field functionaries and in order to further accelerate the pace of reduction
in NPAs through compromise/ settlement. The policy did not have the provisions for
settlement especially in the cases where disbursement was made after 31st March 1995. A
revised OTS policy was considered and approved by the Board of Directors in its meeting
held on 15th September 2001. The duly approved OTS policy was implemented by the
Corporation vide Circular No.37/ 2001-02 dated 9th October, 2001.
The revised policy is designed to provide an effective frame work to tackle old and
more chronic cases of D-2 and Loss assets categories, which have been the growing cause of
concern for the Corporation.
The total NPAs inD-1, D-2 and Loss assets categories are Rs.589.13 Crores, therefore, the
target of settling cases of Rs.150 Crores per year for next three years would be the main
objective of this OTS policy.
The criteria/ basis of calculation of OTS amount in old and chronic cases of D-1, D-2 Assets
categories have been revised to encourage the staff to settle more cases under OTS than sale
U/s 29 of the SFCs' Act.,. This will considerably reduce the fresh accretion of loss assets,
which have shown an increasing trend in last 2 years.
The operational procedure have been streamlined to remove unnecessary hassles and delays
in settling cases. The policy provides more delegation of power to operating staff and to
bring transparency in decision making at all levels.
These parameters can be applied after the bank has posted its financial performance & hence are
not preventive or proactive measures. As the traditional tools of NPA management have not
proved to be satisfactory on the parameters of credit monitoring, follow up procedures,
preventing an assets from becoming non performing as well as timely settlement & recovery of
non performing loans, an attempt is made to bring out some untraditional techniques as well as
to reengineer the existing practices and improving them so as to bring the performance of Indian
Banks in tune with the international practices.
A) Process of Slippage
Any performing assets does not turn into non-performing overnight. The “Performing Asset”
passes through a relatively lengthier period of 2 quarters, in some cases seven-months, after
becoming due but before slipping down to the dangerous red band of non performing assets.
During this journey, every asset is giving out certain signals for warning the banker that
something bad is about to happen.
B) Slippage signals.
Depending upon the type of credit facility and nature of business these distress signals may
look like:
Once there signals start to come in, the banker is supposed to act immediately. There is no
point in waiting with the feeling that there are few more months for the 2 quarter cut-off and
things may turn all right before that, any symptom unattended would lead to major
complications. Steps taken at the initial stage itself would help to keep the accounts
performing and the costly slippage would never happen. The NPA reduction techniques like
replacement; nursing may be attempted while the accounts are still in the performing
basket by continuous monitoring of the individual assets. This type of constant & continuous
surveillance requires co-operation & attention from all concerned in a branch. Any one-shot
measure like “recover camps” can at best be of supplementary native and may never be a
permanent solution.
While the journey, from the 6-month bottom but within the PA basket- to the top would be
easier it would certainly be costly, difficult and time consuming form of NPA to PA. This
uphill task usually is very difficult and such assets cannot be brought back to the PA
basket immediately; there needs to be an ‘isolation’ period of one year after which only the
asset will become eligible for classification under PA category. During this critical period it
has to perform continuously. This is like a patient who has been admitted to the intensive
care unit (ICU) is not sent back home immediately after bringing him out of ICU; he will be
kept in the non- critical area for further observation, before his final discharge. Hence, the
action before Slippage assumes further significance in cases of bringing back the NPA to PA.
There are other services also like underwriting, guarantee, merchant banking and other
agency services, etc. but for small branches and rural branches increase in volume of these
facilities can boost their profile. The problem is that the rural people are not aware of these
services but by creating awareness the branch can reap the benefit. At present the non-
interest income of the rural branches forms a very insignificant proportion of total income.
This can be increased with little efforts.
(A) DEPOSITS
The main source of profit comes from remunerative deposits. The deposit portfolio includes
savings bank current and time deposits. The deposit mix decides the cost of funds. It is found
that in some of the branches the deposit growth is either stagnant or it has a deposit of Rs.
50/60 lacs over a period of 5 to 6 years. To keep the cost of funds low, the efforts should be
to canvas low cost current and savings bank deposits. In rural branches agriculture income is
seasonal and most of the agriculture based customers keep the money idle and spend only in
specific exigencies. If this sector is approached just in time then the savings bank deposits
can be mobilized in large volumes. In this contest, one home one account has been a
successful strategy to woo the customer. What is more important is the timing for deposit
mobilization. But the best way to augment the deposits is by improving customer service. A
satisfied customer is the best ambassador of a branch. The “customer meets” can be utilized
to popularize the various deposits schemes so that they could suggest suitable schemes to
customers. In addition, special letters cab be sent to customers on regular basis inviting their
help to improve the business growth.
4) ABC ANALYSIS
The deposit mobilization and credit expansion takes place simultaneously. But at the same
time credit administration to keep NPAs under control has to be effective. ABC analysis of
the over dues by categorizing the overdue accounts should be done according to the quantum
of overdue whereby more attention can be paid on such chronic accounts. Segregation of
over dues where the quantum of expected recovery is high and the branch is willing.
The RBI has permitted strong banks to adopt the U.S. GAAP mode of accounting to dial with
NPAs. The U.S. GAAP follows Discounted Cash flow approach towards valuation of
securities while Indian Banks follow Market Value approach in making valuation of secured
part of loans. Primary reasons for the differences between U.S. GAAP and Indian method is
in provisioning aspects for NPAs .RBI requires banks to determine and report NPAs at book
value net of all write-offs and provisions. Under U.S. GAAP norms, banks are require to
determine NPAs based on the evaluation of the willingness and ability of the borrower to
repay and estimate the realizable part thereof, based on the underlying collateral and /or the
underlying cash flows of the borrower. In a move towards internationally best accounting
This is an approach to manage the credit portfolio and is a proactive approach to requirement
of lower CAR as risk weighted assets are reduced. This will reduce the need recapitalization
of Indian PSBs and pouring of doles of funds which would otherwise be applied by the Govt.
for developmental purpose.
NPAs are the legacy of the past and credit risk management is action in the present for the
future, it is concerned more with the quantity of the credit portfolio before default. It
involves
EL = PD X LGDX EAD
EL = expected loss
PD = probability of default
LGD = loss given default
EAD = exposure at default
Suppose there is a bank X which has only AAA obligators and a bank Y with BBB obligators
in its portfolio. The AAA obligator does not default within a year horizon, so the PD=0
whereas the average PD for a bond issued by a BBB obligor is 0.25% for bank X, the EL are
zero for one year. For bank Y, assuming the loss given default to be 50% and the EAD to be
Rs. 100 crore, the EL would be 100 x 0.0025 x 0.5 = Rs. 125000. The level of EL could vary
from 0 to 250000 on an identical portfolio size depending on the quality of obligators. Thus
MERITS:
8) CREDIT DERIVATIVES
A more risk sensitive standardized approach towards capital adequacy of Banks is credit
derivatives, credit derivatives allow the transfer of risk between the markets participate
without the underlying transaction changing hands A credit derivative works much like an
insurance policy. If a bank thinks it it’s over exposed to a particular borrower or to a
particular industry it can transfer the credit risk by, purchasing a credit risk derivative. The
main credit derivatives products are swaps, options and forwards. In a credit default swap
one party (protection seller) receives a premium at pre-set intervals in consideration for
guaranteeing defaults in payments as envisaged in the credit contract.
In addition to the above financial engineering is used to structure more complicated deals on
these basic building blocks. These allow the credit risk manager to achieve specific return
profiles and gain value by taking on unlikely risk scenarios.
EVALUATION
Merits-
• Banks can fort the first time earmark explicit capital to cover operational risk.
• It is possible to unbundled the credit risk from loans, bonds and derivatives and sell different
form in market
• Credit derivative instruments facilitate liquidity, transparency and price discovery of the
underlying assets
• It can open up new business opportunities for the players like credit rating agencies and
insurance firms, provides new investments options for institutional investors like mutual
funds, investment banks/corporate (both as hedgers and speculators), optimize risk return and
capital allocation functions.
Demerits-
• Highly complex and sophisticated approach restricts its universal application in the emerging
and developing markets kike India where the banks continue to be the major segment in
financial intermediaries and would be facing considerable challenges in adopting all the
proposals.
REQUIREMENTS
Experiments with various credit risk modeling techniques for Indian banks.
9) LEGAL RECOURSE:
Updating of certain statues: The legal framework within which banks have to
operate and particularly manage the recovery of their dues from the borrowers is far from
adequate. For understandable reasons many legal provisions have, infect a positive bias
favoring the debtor who has been seen as the weaker party and therefore in need of
protection. Unfortunately, these very well intentioned provisions cause an immense load
(and backlog of cases) on legal system, making lending a hazardous operation for banks.
These provisions need to be amended urgently and some new enactment is called for in
order to cater to the requirements of the changed and far more complex current economic
and business environment.
Currently the RBI circulars among banks and financial institution the list of defaulters, which
is found useful in avoiding willful defaulters. The RBI has defined a willful defaulter for the
first time. It has provided the broad parameters for identification of willful defaulters whose
list will be circulated among banks and financial institutions. Auditors of companies have to
report in their certificate about diversion of funds if any. In addition, on Jan 30, 2001, credit
information Bureau (CIB) was set up to provide critical data required by any credit
institution before arriving at credit decision. State Bank Of India, HDFC, Dun and Bradstreet
and Trans Union set up CIB jointly, It will collect information from its members and make it
available to any credit institution on demand. CIB is yet to be operationalised. Its success
depends upon cooperation extended by the members in supplying the required information
on timely basis.

We are happy to getting opportunity to part of State Bank of India and also get opportunity
to tackle the NPAs Account.
During Our Summer Training we meet 150 clients of bank and get their opinion the their
problems. So, According to that duration we would like to conclude that, Account become
NPAs in many way sometimes, Sometimes technical problem, Some times personal problem
but these all problem will be solved by few precautions which earlier we mentioned.
In any financial institution, NPAs are inevitable in the loan portfolio. But efforts should be
made to maintain a reasonable level of NPAs. Keeping in mind the RBI plan to introduce the
concept of “One quarter” for identification of NPAs by 2004, it is a high time to go in for
recovery drive on a war-footing. While doing so, prevention of NPAs should not be
forgotten. These are the major challenges before banks which have gone in for VRS. But
sincerity and hard work along with professional approach on the part of bank management
may help in the fulfillment of challenges. Towards this end, banks have to go long way.
If the nationalized commercial banks desire to stand in competition with the private sector
banks and the foreign banks, they should over a period of time, be in a position to bring
down NPAs to manageable proportion. Moreover, the government should take measures to
facilitate the efforts of the banks in the recovery of the loans which currently taken
