...designated lender for an extended period of time. The nonperforming asset is therefore not yielding any income to the lender in the form of principal and interest payments. Investopedia explains 'Nonperforming Asset' For example, a mortgage in default would be considered non-performing. After a prolonged period of non-payment, the lender will force the borrower to liquidate any assets that were pledged as part of the debt agreement. If no assets were pledged, the lenders might write-off the asset as a bad debt and then sell it at a discount to a collections agency. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/nonperformingasset.asp#axzz1nV1MDFFm Definition A loan or lease that is not meeting its stated principal and interest payments.

...Debt Recovery Guru India -Non-performing assets of banks are set to cross the Rs one-lakh crore mark Written by Administrator Tuesday, 07 June 2011 07:08 Non-performing assets (NPAs) of banks are set to cross the Rs one-lakh crore mark in the current fiscal as the weakened asset quality of the banking sector is likely to spill over to the year 2011-12. After the 25 per cent rise in gross NPAs of bank to Rs 77,048 crore in 2009-10, bad loans of banks shot up by another 20.97 per cent in 2010-11. “The current fiscal will be slightly better for banks as most banks including SBI had made higher provisioning to clean up their balance sheets. The impact of this measure will be witnessed in the coming quarters. If they tighten up the recovery process, whatever they had provided will add to the profits,” said the former chief of a nationalised bank. “The earnings growth in the Indian banking sector in Q4 of FY11 grew by only 8 per cent y-o-y. This is attributable to the dismal performance by SBI, whose net profits for Q4 declined by 99 per cent to Rs 20.9 crore for the period. The reason for this decline in performance by SBI is being ascribed to decline in the Net interest margins; deterioration in the asset quality (and the consequent rise in NPAs); and the rise in the pension provisions for the employees,” said a note by Kotak Mutual Fund. “The RBI has initiated a slew of policy measures including aggressive rate hikes to rein in Inflation. The banking sector has responded by raising...

The public Sector banks have shown very good performance as far as the financial operations are concerned. The total income of the public sector banks has also shown good performance since the last few years. The public sector Banks have also shown comparatively good result. The gross profits and the net profits of the Public Sector banks have been on a high from past few years. The private sector banks are also showing good results in case of profits. However, the only problem of the Scheduled Commercial Banks these days are the increasing level of the non performing assets. The Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) problem is one of the foremost and the most formidable problems that have shaken the entire banking industry in India like an earthquake. Like a canker worm, it has been eating the banking system from within, since long. It has grown like a cancer and has infected every limb of the banking system. At macro level, NPAs have choked off the supply line of credit to the potential borrowers, thereby having a deleterious effect on capital formation and arresting the economic activity in the country. At the micro level, the unsustainable level of NPAs has eroded the profitability of banks through reduced interest income and provisioning...

...Opportunities and threats to banking sector STUDY OF NON PERFORMING ASSETS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO NAGPUR NAGRIK SAHAKARI BANK INTRODUCTION The accumulation of huge non-performing assets in the banks has assumed great importance. The depth of the problem of bad debts was first realized in early 1990s. Since then, the focus has shifted towards improving the quality of assets and better risk management. Non-performing assets are problematic for financial institutions since they depend on interest payments for income. It is generally felt that NPAs reduce the profitability of banks, weaken its financial health and erode its solvency. Troublesome pressure from the economy can lead to a sharp increase in non-performing loans and often in massive write-downs. A classification used by financial institutions that refer to loans that are in jeopardy of default. Once the borrower has failed to make interest or principal payments for 90 days the loan is considered to be a non-performing asset. In India, the time frame given for classifying the asset as NPA is 180 days as compared to 45 to 90 days of international norms. Types of NPA: There are two types of NPA namely Gross NPA and Net NPA. Gross NPA reflects the quality of loans made by banks, while net NPA shows the actual burden of banks. 1) Gross NPA: An advance which is considered irrecoverable for banks, for which it has made provisions, but which is still held in banks books of account. An improvement in the gross...

...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. 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 leading to the enactment of the SARFAESI ACT 2002. (Securitization 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. We also give our suggestions as to how NPA retrieval can be made easy and in what way the NPA scenario is headed. The problem is no doubt about recovery management where the objective is to find out about the reasons behind NPAs and to create...

While the primary function of banks is to lend funds as loans to various sectors such as agriculture, industry, personal loans, housing loans etc., in recent times the banks have become very cautious in extending loans, this is due to mounting nonperforming assets (NPAs). Therefore, an NPA account not only reduces profitability of banks by provisioning in the profit and loss account, but their carrying cost is also increased which results in excess & avoidable management attention. Apart from this, a high level of NPA also puts strain on a banks net worth because banks are under pressure to maintain a desired level of Capital Adequacy and in the absence of comfortable profit level, banks eventually look towards their internal financial strength to fulfill the norms thereby slowly eroding the net worth. Considering all the above facts banking industry has to give more importance to NPA and to structure proper remedial solutions.

...n Management of Non Performing Assets σ Abstract - In India the magnitude of the problem of bad debts was not taken seriously. Subsequently, following the recommendations of Narasimham committee and Verma committee, some steps have been taken to solve the problem of old NPAs in the balance sheets of the banks. It continues to be expressed from every corner that there has rarely been any systematic evaluation of the best way of tackling the problem. There seems to be no unanimity in the proper policies to be followed in resolving this problem. There is also no consistency in the application of NPA norms, ever since these have been recognized. Non Performing Assets are also called as Non Performing Loans. It is made by a bank or finance company on which repayments or interest payments are not being made on time. A loan is an asset for a bank as the interest payments and the repayment of the principal create a stream of cash flows. It is from the interest payments that a bank makes its profits. The problem of NPA is not limited to only Indian public sector banks, but it prevails in the entire banking industry. Major portion of bad debts in Indian Banks arose out of lending to the priority sector at the dictates of politicians and bureaucrats. If only banks had monitored their loans effectively, the bad debt problem could have been contained if not eliminated. The top management of the banks was forced by politicians and bureaucrats to throw good money...

... Deep Majumder | Apeksha Shriyan | Non-performing Asset is an important parameter in the analysis of financial performance of a bank as it results in decreasing margin and higher provisioning requirements for doubtful debts. It affects the liquidity and profitability of the bank. The main objective of the present study is to find out the loop holes in the mechanism of controlling NPA. The data has been analysed by using tables and pie charts. The important point to be noted that if the level of NPA declines the profitability of the banks will increase. | INTRODUCTION The banking industry has undergone remarkable changes after the first phase of economic liberalization in 1991 and hence credit management. The primary function of the banks is to lend loans to various sectors such as agriculture, housing, personal and industry and to take deposits. Now the lending of the loans involves higher risk as there is always a risk of default involved. Now the present scenario of lending has changed as banks become more cautious about lending loans, the reason being the rising amount of non-performing assets. Earlier the Narasimham committee-I clearly pointed out that the reduced profitability of the banks are due to the NPA and thus recommended that it should be phased out.

...licensing and the removal of monopolies. That allowed the entry of private sectors, which of course increased competition for DFI such as IFCI. The Industrial Corporation of India was then restructured and incorporated as a company in July 1, 1993. Hence, that move allowed them to make debut in the capital market in December 1993 with an IPO of US$ 0.80$. Following the IPO, the company started a rapid expansion program, which included borrowing from the debt market at high interest rate and the leverage of high yielding loan assets to cover up the cost of borrowing. On the other hand, employee knowledge was not being updated and they lacked the managerial skills to keep up with fast growing environment. As a result, they broken down under pressure and cleared applicant’s file without proper due diligence. The lack of due diligence when clearing up file contributed to bad loans, or in other words non-performing assets (NPA). IFCI’s non-performing assets rose to 8.26% in 1997 to 20.7% in 2000. In addition, they ended up lending money to 396 “sick” units with outstanding debts totaling over $300 million. Following the...

...whenever it is demanded. On the other hand lending always involves much risk because there is no certainty of repayment. In recent times the banks have become very cautious in extending loans, the reason being mounting nonperforming assets. Non-performing assets had been the single largest cause of irritation of the banking sector of Philippines. Earlier the Narasimha committee-I had broadly concluded that the main reason for the reduced profitability of the commercial banks in India was given importance to priority sector lending. The committee had highlighted that priority sector lending was leading to the building up of non-performing assets of the banks and thus it recommended it to be phased out. Subsequently, the Narasimha committee-II also highlighted the need the zero non-performing assets for all Indian banks with international presence. A major portion of the money lent comes from the deposits received from the public. These deposits are mostly repayable on demand. Therefore while sanctioning credit the banker should appraise the project reasonably or else it leads to the non-repayment of loans and advances. Most of the banks today in India are facing the default risk wherein some part of the profit is reserved for covering the non-performing...
