⇛ 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 ?
- Stressed Assets = NPAs + Restructured Loans + Write off Assets
- Till May, 2017 total stressed assets in the banking sector stands at more than Rs. 12 lacs crores.
⇛ How 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.
- 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.
⇛ Methods for resolving NPA ~
- Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code,2016 (Law)
- Prompt Corrective Action
- Debt Reconstruction (part of debt converted into equity)
- Banks Merger
- Asset Reconstruction Companies
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.
