NON PERFORMING ASSETS

1.1 What is NPA?

INTRODUCTION To begin with, it seems appropriate to define nonperforming assets, popularly called NPA.

Non Performing Advance is defined as an advance where payment of interest of repayment of installment of principal (in case of term loans) or both remains unpaid for a period to two quarters or more. An amount under any of the credit facilities is to be treated as past due when it remains unpaid for 30 days beyond due date. What is NPA Management? A bank creates an asset by lending 50% to 90% of the project cost. The bank has major stroke in an asset then the borrower, so it should be the responsibility of the bank to see and maintain the health of the asset, while creating an asset the Bank wants that the asset should be performing one from the beginning and remains so till its liquidation. But, sooner or later, it becomes or tends to become NPA; unless managed properly; due to various reasons. Then it becomes a problematic asset and needs intensive care. The objectives of NPA Management 1. To make more assets performing 2. To reduce quantum of NPAs and 3. To minimize the amount of provision requirements.

c. Compromise d. Written off 7.Use of MIS and IT in NPA management 8.Formulation of comprehensive NPA management policy/strategies 9.Rating of NPA management. With a view to moving towards International best practices and to ensure greater transparency the 90 days overdue norm for identification of Non Performing Assets has been adopted by the RBI So NPA refers to, Interest and/or installment of principal remain overdue for a period of more than 90 days in respect of a term loan. The account remains out of order in respect of an overdraft/cash credit. Interest or installment of Principal remains overdue for two harvest seasons but for a period not exceeding two half years in the case of an advance granted for agricultural purposes. So in short NPA refers to those assets where in which the bank does not earn income from that account, asset or loan granted. If an irregular account continuously remain as irregular category for a period of 90 days (earlier 180 days) it becomes NPA. According to the guidelines of the RBI once an account is listed as NPA, the interest has to be deducted out of profit of the same accounting year. The crucial factor decides the performance of the banks and the financial institutions are spotting of Non-performing Assets (NPA), banks are now required to recognize such banks periodically and then classify the assets. Banks are not allowed to book any income from NPAs. Also, they have to make provision for the NPAs which impacts profitability adversely. The concept of classification of bank advances in several categories started in the late 1980 scheme but at the time in terminology of NPA did not exist. It was early 1990 scheme when Anglo-American models which had several blocks of categorization of bank assets. Prior to introduction of assets classification, banks in India had system of their own. However this accounting is not in conformity with International standards.

NPAs are a part of banking throughout the World: it is not peculiar to public sector banks and financial institutions in India. Incident of NPA is higher in public sector in comparison to private sector banks and foreign banks in India. TRADITIONAL CONCEPT: Earlier to 1991, there was no such word as NPA in Indian Financial Institutions which followed traditional way of accounting procedures in respect of various accounts sticky or otherwise. The system pertaining to repayment of principal amounts and periodical interest are as under, First the bank or financial institutions used to credit the interest accounts on a particular date or given per-specified period (monthly/quarterly/half yearly/yearly), irrespective of whether the borrower paid the interest or not. There were no prompt actions during those days for recovery of principal/ installment and the interest. Recovery actions for interest and principal amount normally initiated either at the financial year or at the end of the financial year or at the time of expiry of documents. The standards set by the concerned authority are also not up to the level of international standards (for financial institutions and banks Basle Committee norms are internationally accepted standards). All borrower accounts were treated institution the same manner till recovery of procedures were initiated like filling the suits for recovery of outstanding interest and loan installment. MODERN CONCEPT: Non-performing Assets came into the Indian Financial System consequent to the introduction of prudential accounting norms. An era of taking profits (even unrealized) was changed to providing for expected loss. From the financial year 1991-1992, the new system of accounting came into existence. More and more new reforms were introduced institution this year. New accounting system for classification of loan and interest come into effect. The financial institutions and banks adopted Iincome Recognition Norms. Reserve Bank of India also took keen interest in this direction and came out with specific guidelines. As a result the method of Asset classification came into force, while introducing these guidelines internationally accepted standards of Basle Committee recommendations were also taken into considerations. As per the norms of these standards income was recognized only in respect of standard/performing loans.

Steps were taken to debit the borrower account only when the borrower pays the outstanding interest and the installment. Actions and initiatives were taken to recover as and when the interest and installment becomes due. This becomes mandatory for banks and financial institutions. Due to all these efforts the assets were classified as follows. Performing assets/standard assets Non-performing assets By the method of classification, the concept of NPA came into existence and now it has become one of the buzzword in the banking and financial system. As per the guidelines given by RBI, the NPAs are classified into three categories based on certain specified yardsticks. The sub classifications are as under: 1. Sub-Standard Assets 2. Doubtful Assets. 3. Loss Assets. So, it is very clear that many steps were taken towards the effective and efficient functioning of financial institution for reducing the level of NPA to the maximum extent. The decade of nineties heralded an era of economic and monetary policy change brought about by the Government of India and the Reserve Bank of India to globalize the Indian economy. The waves of liberalization that swept across the external trade sector the world over were not without its impact on the domestic sector, the investment policies and indeed the financial sector. The implementation of the Narsimhan Committee ushered in the reformation of the Indian Banking and Financial Industry. Indian banks have adopted international standards of accounting since last six years. Prudential norms were adopted with regards to: Income Recognition. Asset Classification Provisioning for bad and doubtful assets Capital adequacy.

NON-PERFORMANING ASSETS 1.2 NORMS FOR ASSET CLASSIFICATION Criteria for classification of assets Classification of agricultural and non-agricultural loans is required to be done into four categories, on the basis of age of overdues, as 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 business. Thus, in general all the current loans, agricultural and non-agricultural loans which have not become NPA may be treated as standard asset. 2. Sub-Standard Assets A Non-performing asset may be classified as sub-standard on the basis of the following criteria. a) An asset which has remained overdue for a period not exceeding 3 years in respect of both agricultural and non-agricultural loans should be treated as substandard. b) In case of all types of term loans, where instalments are overdue for a period not exceeding 3 years, the entire outstanding in term loan should be treated as substandard. c) An asset, where the terms and conditions of the loans regarding payment of interest and repayment of principal have been renegotiated or rescheduled, after commencement of production, should be classified as sub-standard and should remain so in such category for at least one year of satisfactory performance under the renegotiated or rescheduled terms. In other words, the classification of an asset should not be upgraded merely as a result of rescheduling unless there is satisfactory compliance of the above condition

PADMASHREE INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES, BANGALORE-60

Page 6

NON PERFORMING ASSETS

. 3. Doubtful Asset A Non-Performing Asset may be classified as doubtful on the basis of following criteria: An asset which has remained overdue for a period exceeding 3 years in respect of both agricultural and non-agricultural loans should be treated as doubtful. In case of all types of term loans, where installments are overdue for more than 3 years, the entire outstanding in term loan should be treated as doubtful. As in the case of sub-standard assets, as doubtful. As in the case of sub-standard assets, rescheduling does not entitle a bank to upgrade the quality of advance automatically. 4. Loss Asset Loss assets are those where loss is identified, by the bank/auditor/RBI/NABARD inspectors but the amount has not been written off wholly or party. In other words, an asset which is considered unrealizable and/or of such little value that its continuance as a doubtful asset is not worthwhile, should be treated as a loss asset. Such loss assets will include overdue loans in cases: a) Where decrees or execution petitions have been time barred or documents are lost or no other legal proof is available to claim the debt. b) Where the members and their sureties are declared insolvent or have died leaving no tangible assets. c) Where the members have left the area of operation of the society (refers to the borrower in whose name the respective Loan Account with SCB/CCB) leaving no property and their sureties have also no means to pay the dues d) Where the loan is fictitious or when gross misutilisation is noticed, and e) Amounts which cannot be recovered in case of liquidated societies. Provisioning Norms on the basis of Asset classification Need for provisioning Provisioning is necessary considering the erosion in the value of security charged to the banks over a period of time. Therefore, after the assets of CCBs/SCBs are classified into various categories (Viz., standard, sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets) necessary provision has to be

PADMASHREE INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES, BANGALORE-60

Page 7

NON PERFORMING ASSETS

made for the same. The details of provisioning requirements in respect of various categories of assets are mentioned below:

Standard Asset When the IRAC norms were introduced in the year 1996-97, no provisioning was required in respect of standard assets. From the year ended 31 march 2000, banks are required to make provision on Standard assets of a minimum of 0.25% of the total outstanding in this category. The provision made on standard assets may not be reckoned as erosion in the value of assets and will form part of owned funds of the bank. The advances granted against term deposits, National Savings Certificate (NSC) eligible for surrender, Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP), Indira Vikas Patra (IVP), Life policies, Staff loans would attract provision of 0.25% prescribed for Standard Assets. The provision towards standard assets need not be netted from gross advances and should be shown separately as Contingent provision against Standard Assets under Other liabilities and provisions-others. General provisioning requirement for Standard advances from the present level of 0.25 per cent was increased to 0.40 per cent with effect from the financial year beginning April 1, 2007. Banks direct advances to agricultural and SME sectors would be exempted from the additional provisioning requirement. Sub-Standard Asset A general provision of 10% of total outstanding in this category may be made. Doubtful Assets 100% is to be made to the extent to which the advance is not recovered by realizable value of securities to which the bank has a valid recourse and the realizable value is estimated on a realistic basis. Over and above item (a), provision is to be made depending upon the period for which an asset has remained overdue, 20% to 50% of the secured portion on the following basis. Percentage of provisioning CRITERIA Overdue above 3 years, and up to 4 years

With the enactment of the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 and the chances / extent of recovery of an asset reducing over a period of time, it is essential that banks expedite recovery of NPA. In respect of State and District Central Co-operative Banks, all advances classified as doubtful for more than three years the provisioning requirement would be as under: a) Unsecured portion For portion of the advance, which is not covered by the realizable value of tangible security to which the bank has a valid recourse and the realizable value is estimated on a realistic basis, provision will be to the extent of 100 per cent as hitherto. b) Secured portion Period for which the advance has Provision requirement remained in doubtful category on secured portion (i) outstanding stock of NPAs 60 percent as on March 31, 2008 classified as doubtful for more than three years as on March 31,2007 75 per cent as on March 31, 2009

100 per cent as on March 31, 2010 (ii) advances classified as doubtful 100 per cent more than three years on or after April 1, 2007 (Source: Secondary source) Loss Asset The entire loss asset should be written off. If the assets are permitted to be retained in the books for any reasons, 100% of the outstanding therefore should be fully provided for Loss Assets Provisioning with the effect from 31 March 2004, SCBs and CCBs should move over to charging of interest on monthly rests by 1 April 2004 except for agricultural loans and loans for activities allied to agriculture. However, banks should continue to classify an account as NPA only if interest charged during any quarter is not serviced fully within 180 days from the end of the quarter with effect from 1 April 2004 and within 90 days

from the end of the quarter with effect 31 March 2006. (Source: Secondary source) Treatment of agricultural advances In respect of advances granted for agricultural purposes where interest payment is on half-yearly basis synchronizing with harvest, banks should adopt the agricultural seasons as the basis. In other words, if interest has not been paid during the last two seasons of harvest (covering two half-years)* after the principal has become overdue then such an advance should be treated as NPA. Identification of NPA would be done on the same basis as non-agricultural an advance which at present is the 180 days delinquency norm. Crop loans for each season, viz., Rabi and Kharif has to be treated as separate account and IRAC norms have to be applied accordingly. A. As per the extant norms, advance granted for direct agricultural purposes are treated as NPA, where interest and/or installment of principal remain unpaid after they become due for two harvest seasons not exceeding two half years. However, in the case of longer duration crops, the current-prescription of not exceeding two half years is inadequate. 2004 the following revised norms will be applicable: a) A loan granted for short duration crops will be treated as NPA if the installment of the principal or interest thereon remains unpaid for two crop seasons beyond the due date. b) A loan granted for long duration crops will be treated as NPA, if the installment of principal or interest thereon remains unpaid for one crop season beyond the due date. B. For the purpose of these guidelines, long duration crops would be crops with crop season longer than one year, and crops which are not long duration crops would be treated as short duration crops. C. The crop season for each crop, which means the period up the harvesting of the crops raised would be as determined by the State Level Bankers Committee in each state. D. Banks are advised to ensure that while granting loans and advances, realistic repayment schedules may be fixed on the basis of cash flows/fluidity with the borrowers and thus improve the record of recovery in agricultural advances. In order to align the repayment dates with harvesting of crops, banks are advised that with effect from September 30,

Treatment of advances for allied agricultural activities as well as non farm sector Credit facilities granted for other allied agricultural activities as well as non-farm sector activities should be treated as NPA if amounts of installments of principal and/or interest remain outstanding for a period of two quarters from the due date. Project/ Housing Loans, etc. In case of projects (industry, plantation, etc.) where moratorium is given for payment, [loan becomes due only after moratorium or gestation period is over] such a loan becomes overdue if instalment is not paid on due date. Similarly, in the case of housing loans or similar advances granted to staff members where interest is payable after recovery of principal, such loans should be classified as NPA when there is a default in repayment of principal on due date of payment and overdue criteria will be the basis for classification of assets. Consortium advances In respect of consortium advances each bank is required to classify the borrowal accounts according to its own recovery, i.e., on the recovery of the individual member banks. The banks participating in the consortium should, therefore, arrange to get their share of recovery transferred them the lead bank of the consortium. Treatment of different facilities to borrower as NPA Short-term agricultural advances are granted by SCBs/CCBs to CCBs/PACS respectively for the purpose of on-lending. In respect of such advances as well as advances for other purposes, if any, granted under on-lending system, only that particular facility which became irregular should be treated as NPA and not all the other facilities granted to them. Crop loans for each season, viz., Rabi and Kharif have to be treated as separate account and accordingly IRAC norms have to be applied. In aspect of all other direct loans and advances granted to a borrower, all such loans will become NPA even if one loan A/c becomes NPA.

PADMASHREE INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES, BANGALORE-60

Out of order statuses In respect of cash credit/over draft an account should be treated as out of order, if the outstanding balance remains continuously in excess of the sanctioned limit/ drawing power. In cases where the outstanding balance in the principal operating account is less than the sanctioned limit/ drawing power, but there are no credits continuously for three months as on the date of Balance Sheet or credits are not enough to cover the interest debited during the same period, these accounts should be treated as out of order. Overdue Any amount due to the bank under any credit facility is overdue, if it is not paid on due date fixed by the bank. Agricultural Loans as secured All agricultural loans may be treated as fully secured as the same are disbursed against charge on land as provided in the respective State Co-operative Societies Acts/ Rules. Treatment to P.F. and Gratuity amount Liabilities towards PF and gratuity should be estimated on actuarial basis and fully provided for. Loans exempted form provisioning Advances against term deposits, NSCs eligible for surrender, IVPs, KVPs and life policies are exempted from provisioning. Therefore, the above accounts may not be classified as NPA. As they are treated as standard assets, a provision of 0.25% of the total loans outstanding prescribed for standard assets should be made. Loans against Gold/Govt. Securities Advances against gold ornaments, government securities and all other kinds of securities are not exempted from requirements. Depreciation in investments accounting procedure The investment portfolio of a bank would normally consist of both approved securities (predominantly Government Securities) and Other securities (shares, debentures and bonds or Cooperative and other institutions). Investments in approved securities should be bifurcated into permanent and current investments. Permanent investments are those which banks intend to hold till maturity and current investments are those which banks intend to deal in i.e., buy and sell on a day-to-day basis. These is, however, no minimum percentage stipulated for bifurcation

of investments into permanent and current category. As regards current investments and other securities, they should be valued at lower of cost price or market value. Investments in shares of cooperative institutions may be valued at carrying cost price. Provision for other assets/outstanding liabilities Loss in respect of cash balances/deposits with other banks, amounts in branch adjustment accounts, frauds and embezzlements, and depreciation on building, furniture and vehicles, etc. may be assessed and fully provided for as per the existing practice. With a view to ensuring full disclosure on the profitability and net worth of the bank. Items not provided for or items of liabilities where inadequate provisions have been made (e.g. Gratuity, Provident Fund, Income Tax, Interest accrued on deposits/ borrowings, etc.), Inspecting Officers should specify the same to arrive at the unprovided for expenditure and treat them as actual expenditure for the purpose of arriving at the net worth. Back-end subsidy scheme Banks are permitted to take the loan outstanding under the Back-end Subsidy-Scheme net of subsidy amount and make provision only on the balance amount. This relaxation is for the purpose of making provisions only and not for other purposes, such as for computation of gross loans and advances, asset classification, etc. SCBs/DCCBs are required to voluntarily set apart provisions much above the minimum prudential levels after seeking their Boards approval. Provisioning Norms: The primary responsibility for making adequate provisions for any deterioration in the value of loan assets is that of the bank management and the statutory auditors. The RBI inspectors furnish their assessment to the banks for assisting them in taking a decision in regard to making adequate and necessary provisions in prudential guidelines. The system of classification of assets as above also forms the basis for determining the provisioning requirements in respect of such assets. The time lag between the accounts becoming doubtful recovery, its recognition, the realization of the security and the erosion overtime in the value of security charged to the Cooperation are taken into account, while determining the quantum of provision to be made in respect of each category of assets Based on these factors, the following provisioning norms have been prescribed.

Building up pressure for sanctions. Inept handling by bankers lack of professionalism and appraisal standards. Non-observance of system, procedures and non-insistence of collaterals etc. Lack of post sanction monitoring, unchecked diversions.

RBI GUIDELINES Steps/initiatives taken by RBI to contain NPAs Recognizing the fact that the origin of non-performance could be at the initial stage of loan decision making, RBI had impressed upon banks, from time to time, to strengthen credit appraisal and credit supervision. After sanction and disbursal of credit, banks are required to closely monitor the operations of the borrower units and accounts by way of abstention of periodic stock/operation statements, draw downs, end use, etc. The problem accounts above a certain outstanding balance which are required to be monitored individually by designated senior officials of banks. In respect of accounts where the classification of asset worsens, banks are required to take prompt steps to recover the dues and staff accountability is required to be examined. Banks have also been advised to take decisions regarding filing of suits expeditiously and to effective follow-up the cases of suit filed and decreed accounts. During periodic discussion with bank management, special emphasis is given on monitoring of large NPA accounts at the highest level in the banks and also on reduction of NPAs through up gradation, recovery and compromise settlements, RBI has advised and accordingly banks, Boards lay down policies in regard to credit dispensation, recovery of credit, etc. Banks have constituted Recovery Cells, Recovery Branches, NPA Management Departments and fixed recovery targets. Policies evolved and steps taken in this regard are critically examined during the annual on-site inspection of banks. The off-site return also provides RBI an insight into the quality of credit portfolio at quarterly intervals. Introduction of prudential norms on income recognition, asset classification and provisioning during 1992-93 and other steps initiated apart from bringing in transparency in the loan portfolio of banking industry have significantly contributed towards improvement of the presentation appraisal and post sanction supervision which is reflected in lowering of the levels of fresh accretion of Non-Performing Advances of banks after 1992.

The provisions of the Banking Regulation Act applicable to co-operative banks are laid down in part 1 of the act under section 56, the main provisions of the act applicable to cooperative bank are: 1. Use of the word Banks and Banking 2. Every co-operative bank governed by the Banking Regulation Act must use a part it name, any of the words, bank, banker or banking. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO CO-OPERATIVE BANK; Co-operative banks were brought under the preview of the Banking Regulation Act only since 1st March 1966 after passing of the Banking Laws (Application to Co-operative Societies) Act, 1965. Only state cooperative banks, central banks and district cooperative banks having a paid up capital and reserves of Rs 1 lakhs and more are regulated by the Banking Regulation Act. Cooperative banks having a paid up capital and reserves of less than Rs 1 lakhs are not governed by the banking regulation act. NATIONAL (NABARD): NABARD was established for the promotion of agriculture, small scale industries, cottage industries, village industries and other economic activities. NABARD has been identified as a principal agency for planning, coordinating and monitoring the rural credit delivery system at the district level. Accordingly, NABARD is gradually setting up its officers at the district level with the few technical experts, keeping in view the predominant economic activities of the district. The district office of NABARD, not only co-ordinates the activities of various credit agencies such as, commercial banks, Regional Ruler Banks (RRB), district co-operative banks, land development banks, but also keeps in contact with the concern development departments of the government. The lead bank officer works in close coordination with the NABARD district office. The district development manager of NABARD who is stationed in the district assist the lead bank officer in formulating the district credit plan and formulates the potential link plan (PLP) for the district, which identifies the sect oral credit gaps. Short term refinancing is provided through Apex Co-operative bank and district cooperative bank. NABARD also facilities required credit facilities to active and implement

In a program of assistance to rural women in non-farm development NABARD refinance women Development Corporation offering group loans to rural women encouraging group enterprise and ancilliarisation of tiny units. Function of NABARD: Before setting up NABARD in July 1982, RBI functioned as the Apex bank. After that, the function performed by RBI for agriculture and rural development was assigned to NABARD. The functions are the following: To provide by way refinance, credit etc. to commercial banks, RRBs the State Cooperative Banks and Land Development Banks for the promotion of agriculture, small scale industrial units in rural areas, cottage and village industries, handicrafts and other allied economic activities in rural areas. To grant loans and advances to the state governments to enable them to subscribe to the share capital of co-operative credit societies. To inspect co-operative banks and RRBs, and To responsible for the development, policy, planning, operational matter, co-ordination, monitoring, research, training, consultancy etc. relating to rural credit.

Treatment of Accounts as NPAs Record of Recovery 1. The treatment of an asset as NPA should be based on the record of recovery. Banks should not treat an advance as NPA merely due to existence of some deficiencies which are of temporary in nature such as non-availability of adequate drawing power, balance outstanding exceeding the limit, non-renewal of the limits on the due date, etc. where there is a threat of loss, or the recoverability of the advances is in doubt, the asset should be treated as NPA. Where the accounts of the borrowers have been regularized by repayment of overdue amounts through genuine sources (not by sanction on additional facilities or transfer of funds between accounts): the accounts need not be treated as NPAs. In such cases, it should, however, be ensured that the accounts remain in order subsequently and solitary credit entry made in an account on or before the balance sheet date which extinguishes the overdue amount of interest or installment of principal is not reckoned as the sole criteria for treatment the account as a standard asset. Treatment of NPAs-Borrower-wise and not facility-wise 1. In respect of a borrower having more than one facility with bank, all the facilities granted by the bank will have to be treated as NPA and not the particular facility or part thereof which has become irregular. 2. However, in respect of consortium advances or financing under multiple banking arrangements, each bank may classify the borrower accounts according to this own record of recovery and other aspects having a bearing on the recoverability of the advances.

Agricultural Advances-Default in repayment due to natural calamities 1. Where natural calamities impair the repaying capacity of agricultural borrowers, primary (urban) co-operative banks, as a relief measure may decide on their own to: a. Convert the short-term production loan into a term loan or reschedule the repayment period, and b. Sanction fresh short-term loans. 2. In such cases of conversion or re-schedulement, the term loan as well as fresh short-term loan may be treated as current dues and need not be classified as Non-Performing Asset (NPA). The asset classification of these loans would, therefore, be governed by the revised terms and conditions and these would be treated as NPA under the extant norms applicable for classifying agricultural advances as NPAs. Housing loan to Staff In the case of housing loan or similar advances granted to staff members where interest is repayable after recovery of principal, interest need not to consider as overdue from the first quarter onwards. Such loans/advances should be classified as NPA only when there is a default in repayment of installment of principal or payment of interest on the respective due dates. Credit facilities Guaranteed by Central/State Government 1. The credit facilities backed by guarantee of the Central Government though overdue should not be treated as NPA. 2. This exemption from classification of government guaranteed advances as NPA is not for the purpose of recognition of income. 3. From the year ended March 31, 2006, State Government guaranteed advance and investment in State Government guaranteed securities would attract asset classification and provisioning norms, if interest and/or principal or any other amount due to the bank remains overdue for more than 90 days irrespective of the fact whether the guarantee have been invoked or not.

Project Financing In the case of bank finance given for industrial projects where moratorium is available for payment of interest, payment of interest becomes due only after the moratorium or gestation period is over. Therefore, such amounts of interest do not become overdue and hence NPA, with reference to the date of debit on interest. They become overdue after due date for payment of interest, if uncollected. Concept relating to commencement of commercial Productions and Restructuring of Loan Accounts. 1. Where a unit commences commercial production, but the level and volume of production reached immediately after the date of completion of the project is not adequate to generate the required cash flow to service the loan, it may be necessary to re-fix the repayment schedule. In such cases, the Board of Directors of the bank may lay down broad parameters for guidance of the staff for taking a view whether the unit has stabilized commercial production and there is a need for rescheduling of the loan to treat such advance as NPA or not. In framing these parameters, the following points may be kept in view. a. In order to arrive at a decision at a decision as to whether the unit/project has achieved regular commercial production, the main guiding would be whether the unit has achieved cash break-even in order to service the loan. b. If in the opinion of the bank, the bottleneck in achieving regular commercial production is of a temporary nature not indicative of any long-term impairment of the units economic viability and it is likely to achieve cash break even if some time is allowed, the bank may reschedule the loan and treat the asset as standard. c. However, the lead time would normally not exceed one year from the schedule of commencement of commercial production as indicated in the terms of sanction. 2. In respect of credit facilities sanctioned under consortium arrangements, the decision as to whether the borrowing unit has achieved regular commercial production and there is a need for rescheduling may be taken by the lead institution or lead bank and other participating institutions/banks may follow the same.

1. Advances against term deposits, NSCs eligible for surrender, IVPs, KVPs and Life policies need not be treated as NPAs although interest thereon may not have been paid for more than 90 days provided adequate margin is available in the accounts. 2. Primary(urban) co-operative banks should fix monthly/quarterly installments for repayment of gold loans for non-agricultural purposes taking into account the pattern if income generation and repayment capacity of the borrowers and such gold loan accounts may be as NPAs if installments of principal and/or interest thereon are overdue for more than 90 days. 3. As regard gold loans granted for agricultural purposes, interest is required to be charged as per Supreme Court judgment at yearly intervals and payment should coincide with the harvesting of crops. Accordingly, such advances will be treated as NPA only if installments of principal and/or interest become overdue after due date. Narasimhan Committee Reports The RBI is going to implement in phases the entire stringent international standard for NPA classification in second generation of reforms as per the recommendations of the Narsimhan Committees second report. The second recommendations with regards to NPA are as follows Narsimhan Committees second report with regards to NPA 1. An asset is classified as NPA if it remains past due/out of order for 90 days (instead of 2 quarters) in a phased manner by the year 2000. 2. An asset is classified as doubted and if it is in the sub-standard category for 18 months in the first instance and subsequently for 12 months and loss if it has been so identified but not written off. 3. For the purpose of evaluating the quality and asset portfolio, government guaranteed advances should be treated as NPA. 4. For standard asset, a general provision of 1% should be introduced in phased manner. 5. The bank should reduce the average level to net NPA to below 5% by the year 2000 and 3% by 2003. 6. There is need to institute an independent loan review mechanism especially for large borrowed accounts and systems to identify potential NPA 7. For banks with a high NPA portfolio, all loan assets in the doubtful and loss categories should be transferred to an asset reconstruction company.

1. Establish contact with the borrower/chief representative; understand the reason for the irregularity and his not coming to you earlier. 2. Do not start with repayment. Understand the problem. It could be with the unit, including the industry to which it belongs or it could be with the individual. It could be of temporary nature or more prolonged one. 3. Can you do something to mitigate the problem? With your contact with so many other customers, it may be possible for youre help him come out of the difficulties. 4. Make the borrower come out openly with his difficulties, the steps taken by him to overcome them and help the needs. This will help you to devise suitable strategy to regularize the account. 5. Ask him to call on you for further discussion. Do not lose contact, ask him to give in writing the problem faced by him and the help the needs from the corporation (more time, rescheduling etc) and while accepting his liability. 6. Meanwhile, try to get fresh report on him about his business outside commitments, borrowing from other sources etc. 7. Look at your security documents and see that they are in tact. Ensure the availability of the security and the value to cover the indebtedness. When the contacts with the borrower do not yield the desired result, the next best is influence strategy (subject to requirement of secret). May be through the person who introduced the account, the guarantor who in any case in responsible for repayment and other persons of the locality who commands respect and the help of Government officially in the case of Government sponsored schemes. If this also fails and further grant of time will be harmful to the institution, the advance can be recalled, giving specific time to regularize the account. Keep an eye on the documents and securities available before this step is taken. Once you none decided on this course, it should be followed to the logical end to have the effect on the borrower and others. A letter from the institution should mean what is a state, unless the borrower comes for a settlement to the satisfaction of the institution.

3.2 BANK PROFILE BACKGROUND OF THE ORGANISATION: The Bank was registered on 10th November 1915 under the name and style of The Mysore Provincial Cooperative Bank Limited, under the Mysore Co-operative Societies Act of 1905. Then , the Bank was not an Apex institution, as it was not exclusively meant for financing the co-operatives in the then State of Mysore. Another Bank called the Bangalore Central Cooperative Bank Limited, Bangalore (which was later converted into an urban bank), which was registered in 1905, was also financing the co-operatives. The bank owes its origin to Sri. M.A. Narayan Iyengar, B.A., B.L., who was the Registrar of Co-operative Societies at that time.

Sri. Vardaraja Iyengar Founder KSCABL The Bank was founded with the objective of financing, inspecting and supervising the cooperative societies in the Mysore State. Subsequently, several district co-operative central banks with the jurisdiction of a district were registered. Five such district central banks were started. But their working was not satisfactory and they became defunct. As such, the provincial bank started financing the societies directly. Besides granting of loans, the Bank served as an outlet for

investment of the surplus finds of the co-operative societies in the State. The Bank thus acts as the balancing centre of the Co-operative Movement in the State, safeguarding its interests.

3.3 HISTORY OF THE BANK At the time of inception of The Mysore Provincial Co-operative Bank, there was also another co-operative organization, The Bangalore Central Co-operative Bank, which was working on similar lines. This was an anomaly, which led to mutual competition unnecessarily in the matter of financing of co-operative societies. In order to remove this anomaly and to have only one institution as an Apex institution exclusively for financing the co-operatives in the State, the Government appointed an Enquiry Committee known as the Mysore Co-operative Enquiry Committee, 1920-22 presided over by Mr. Lallubhai Samaldas and the Committee after reviewing the position of these two banks, made the following three alternative recommendations to the Government: To amalgamate the Mysore Provincial Co-operative Bank and the Bangalore Central Co-operative Bank. To create a new Apex Bank. To convert the Central Co-operative Bank into an urban bank dealing only with the individuals and to reorganize the Provincial Co-operative Bank into a new Apex Bank. The Bangalore Central Co-operative Bank opposed the amalgamation with the Provincial Co-operative Bank. Thus, the creation of a new Apex Bank was out of question. The Government therefore accepted the third suggestion made by the Committee. Accordingly, the Government passed orders on 14/15.9.1925 permitting the Mysore Provisional Bank to get itself converted into an Apex Bank with the jurisdiction extending over the entire

State for financing the co-operative societies exclusively and the Bank thereafter was named as the Mysore Provincial Co-operative Apex Bank Ltd., popularly known as Apex Bank. In the beginning, the Bank was advancing long-term loans through agricultural credit cooperatives for land improvements and redemption of prior debts. Large amounts were given for the above purposes. After the organization of Central Co-operative Land Mortgage Bank in the year 1929 and Primary Land Mortgage Banks at the taluk level, the Bank had to give up this model of business. On account of depression between the years 1925-30, the value of lands and the prices of agricultural produce fell very steeply and the Bank had to face a lot of difficulties in the recovery of long term loans advanced. However, during Second World War, there was rise in the land value and agricultural prices and the Bank could therefore recover a major portion of its dues. In order to meet the loss of business on account of stoppage of long-term loans for land improvements and redemption of prior debts consequent on the organization of Central Land Mortgage Bank, the Bank started financing of long-term loans for construction of houses through House Building and House Construction Societies. Besides, on account of Second World War, there was great stimulus for consumer stores activities for distribution of essential commodities through co-operatives. The Bank undertook the financing of these consumer societies in the form of cash credit loan. The financing of House Building Societies continued up to the year 1950 when a separate Apex Institution called the Mysore State Co-operative House Building Corporation was registered. The Government thereupon directed the Bank not to issue loans to the House Building Societies. This was a period of crisis in the history of the Bank.

The Bank had to satisfy itself by financing a few marketing societies by way of crop and produce loans and a few stores societies. During the year 1956-57, States were reorganized on linguistic basis and the new Mysore State with 19 districts came into existence. Since there were District Cooperative Central Banks in all the integrated districts, all the District Cooperative Central Banks came under the jurisdiction of Apex Bank. Further the State Government notified the Apex Bank as the State Cooperative Bank for the entire state and with the expansion, the responsibility of the Bank increased considerably. The Bank stopped financing of primary societies directly. The membership and share capital held by primary societies in Apex Bank was transferred to the respective District Cooperative Central Banks. There was all round progress in the cooperative movement with the reorganization of the State and also in all spheres of activities of the Apex Bank like share capital, reserves, deposits, borrowings, lending, profit etc. Branches of KSA Bank at Bangalore Head Office Branch Chamrajpet RT Nagar Branch Chandra Layout RPC Layout Branch JP Nagar Branch MS Building Branch Branch Koramangala Branch Ganganagar Branch Gokul Branch PUB Branch Ashoka pillar Vijayanagar Branch Mahalakshmipuram Branch Shivajinagar Branch Jayanagar 4 Block Vidhana Soudha Branch Vivekananda College Kengeri Branch Agara Branch Girinagar Branch Padmanabhanagar LH Extension Counter Jayanagar 9th Block Indiranagar Branch Magadi Road Branch Vyalikaval Branch Lakkasandra Branch Rajajinagar Branch Banashankari Branch Basaveshwaranagar Branch Gandhinagar Branch Branch

Department) SWOT ANALYSIS

Strengths Brand Name and Well capital base. It is a Government Organization. Offers Quality Service and Product. The KSA bank has already carved out a niche in providing , with 100% computerized branches. Its quality to the nation is the major strength of the bank because of its long entity in the Banking industry. Good network base of DCC Banks and PACS including SHGs in Karnataka as compared to other states in India. Weaknesses The interest rates are changing according to government rules, regulations and guidelines. Concentrating more on targets. There are no specialized branches in some of industrial areas. The Bank is not having ATM facility, except 5 Branches. Recruitment process is slow. The Bank is purely dependent on Agricultural Sector.

Opportunities Bank is having opportunity to open new banking services in the State, already proposed 15 new branches in the city of Bangalore. Bank has liberalized their loan policy as per nationalized banks in respect of housing segment, gold loans, mortgage loans, personal loans and other non secured loan sector. Bank is entering into modern banking through licensing for RTGS (Real Time Grass Settlement), ATM, Net Banking and other Advanced Banking system. Bank has introduced 14 new loan products and 4 insurance bi-products to capture potential market. Threats The number of competitors is increasing at a higher rate. Direct investment options available to the customers like Mutual Funds etc. Delay in operating of newly proposed branches may lead to scarifying the market opportunities to other banks that are well equipped with better products.

There is a good record in the repayment of the individual loans like personal loan, gold loans, car loans and housing loans. The loan repayment is better in case of agriculture loans also.

5. Out of total NPA 50% of the total credit provided to sugar sector has become NPA and the percentage of NPA in sugar sector was continuously increasing during the period 2004 to 2008. 6. Bank increased investments in non-SLR securities. 7. There is an increase in the percentage of writing off of NPAs and bad debts only because of bankruptcy, insolvency due to the death and also due to the liquidation of the firm. 8. The doubtful assets are increasing every year.

9.

The bank concentrated on short term advances rather than long term advances. The short deposits were used for medium term advances.

5.2 SUGGESTIONS 1. The successful management of Non-performing Assets depended not only on the policies and the norms stipulated by the regulatory authorities and the management of the bank but also on how far the industrial finance has been extended their portfolio and the present position of the new account. 2. The bank has to take care of recovery management in sugar and non-agriculture sector with proper execution and planning. 3. Conducting in-house training programs for the managers concerned with the recovery about the latest rules and regulations and also on the responsibilities available for the recovery of NPAs. 4. The securities need to be re-valued/assets for proper provisioning of doubtful and loss assets. 5. There is a need to have periodic review of accounts inspection of units by audit department. 6. Risk Management Policy was not formed by the Bank. There is no Risk Management Committee in the Bank. Bank has to implement the same as per NABARD circular No:07/DoS.09/2005/dated06 April 2005.

7. Maintaining the capital adequacy with the set limits of 8%. This requires the bank to operative in the specified limit of risk position. 8. Fresh addition to NPAs can be prevented by proper credit management of the loans and advances. 9. Proper follow up with the support of all the staff members who were in constant touch with the customers. 10. Timely visit to the field by the staff and making personal contact with the borrowers. 11. The bank should concentrate on doubtful assets and it is suggested to provide loan only for trusted customer.
12. Bank should provide long term advance in addition to short term advances to increase

profit. 13. The bank should not provide medium term or long term advances by short term deposits. 14. The gap between deposits and advances should be reduced by matching funds properly. 15. The best model to reduce the level of NPA at Apex Bank is to give emphasis for technological improvements for proper and regular monitoring and follow-up the accounts setting targets and achieve set target.
