[ NPA simplified ] : 1 Page covers it all !

What is NPA ?
  • As per Reserve Bank of India (RBI), 
    • an asset, including a leased asset,
    • becomes NPA (non performing asset) when it ceases to generate income for the bank.
  • It is a part of "Stressed Assets".
  • Also check NPA & Special Mention Accounts  (in summary)~ useful in Bank Audits.


⇛ What is Stressed Assets ?
⇛ How NPA ?

There are few reasons for a loan which becomes NPA :-
  • Crony Capitalisation :- It is the leniency by bank officials to corporates. You can also understand by this  ~ "the success of every business depends on close relationships between business people & government officials".
  • Delay in Asset Quality Review (AQR).
  • Bank's Board :- The role of bank's board should be assertive in their choice of the business model (right business framework).
  • Indian Banks are focused more on security (because of weak Information Technology & Infrastructure) rather than Projected Cash Flows in Credit risk assessment.
  • A small bank distracts with the collective action taken by large banks (like to give a loan to big company) which also indulge itself in giving loan without standalone analysis.
Before Resolving the NPA, it is more important to assess NPA first. Banks majorly uses these tools to assess the borrower credit rating ~

  • Loss Given Default 
    • This is the true assessment to estimate the expected loss on a particular loan. It is used by every bank to show the hidden aspects to the investors.
  • Interest Coverage Ratio 
    •  It indicates the ability of a Borrower to service the debt & repay the loan over a period of time.
    • It shows how many times interest expenses can be paid with Earning before interest & taxes (EBIT).
    • If you have taken loan, then bank insert terms in their legal documents mandating a minimum coverage ratios.
⇛ For Resolving NPA, more & more powers are delegated to RBI by government.

Methods for resolving NPA ~
The Last Lines :~
  • RBI is taking major steps for resolution of stressed assets from the banks balance sheet.
  • Healthy Banks attracts more Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs).
  • And hence, more foreign funds will flow in India.
