ABSTRACT
The incidence of Non Performing Assets is affecting the
performance of the Bank both financially and psychologically which has
been reflecting ultimately on the Balance Sheet of the Bank. With the
increase of concern towards the Circle Office's Non Performing Asset,
with special reference to SSI sector, the study was undertaken to Analyse
the reasons for Non Performing Assets. Attempts are also made analyze
the movement of NPA in SSI sector.
Primary data form the Circle Office constituted the previous four
years data relating to NPA. And also a survey was conducted to
understand the perception of Managers/Officers of various branches on
Non Performing Assets. A structured questionnaire was prepared to
undertake the survey.
The primary data collected from the Bank were found out to be
interesting. Usually, Non Performing assets are more in the Agriculture
sector. Now, it is not agriculture in which Non Performing Asset is more,
but it is more in SSI sector and non priority sector and to some extent in
other priority sector.
This has been concluded from the data which was analysed
through calculating the growth rate for the previous four years
The recovery has been not effective in some of the Regional
Offices. Finally all the analysis done has been arranged in a summary
table, which tells the performance of the Circle Office during the previous
four years related to SSI.

Another objective of the study was to study all the NPA accounts
during the previous four years were gone through and an ABC Analysis
was made. The findings were that few accounts of the total NPA
accounts, having amount more than one crore constitute the major chunk
of the total NPA.
It was also found out that Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) which was set
up just for recovering bank dues form the defaulters has not been
effective. The average time taken to give a decree is one year and it is
more than a year in some cases. There are also many formalities to be
followed while referring a case to DRT.
All these findings were supported by the data got through the
survey Manager/Officers' perception about the repayment form the
customers vis-avis with respect to SSI sector and the ineffectiveness of
functioning of DRT matched with the above findings.
Recommendations are made in the area of lending and recovery.
New tools like credit Derivatives and setting up of Asset Reconstruction
Company are suggested. Instead of referring the cases to DRT, it has been
recommended to the Bank to take more rigorous steps in recovering the
due amount from the defaulters.
More power should be given to the Branch managers to attach the
property of the defaulter and in certain case to sell the property, like what
cooperative banks do.

CHAPTER -1
INTRODUCTION
Banking system which constitutes the core of the financial sector
plays a crucial role in transmitting monetary policy impulses to the
economic system. Therefore its efficiency and development are vital for
enhancing growth and improving the chances for stability. During the
recent past, profits of the bank came under pressure due to rise in interest
rates, decrease in non interest income and increase in provisions and
contingencies. The biggest ever challenge that the industry facing is the
management of Non Performing Assets.
Canara Bank Analysis of NPA with special reference to SSI Sector
M.P. Birla Institute of Management 11
High level of Non Performing Assets calls for provisioning for the
same, thus profitability and operations are severely affected, which makes
further lending increasingly difficult. The most crucial factor that governs
the performance of the bank is spotting their NPA.
The incidence of Non Performing Assets is affecting the
performance of the credit institutions both financially and
psychologically. For the sake of uniformity and proper running RBI has
given many guidelines to the banks in respect of NPAs. Before
understanding the various committee recommendations on NPAs, the
following concepts need to be understood. RBI has classified all the
assets of a bank as performing assets and non performing assets, which
are explained below.
Canara Bank Analysis of NPA with special reference to SSI Sector
M.P. Birla Institute of Management 12
ASSET CLASSIFICATION:
All loan assets are broadly classified as performing assets or
standard assets (PA) and Non-performing Assets (NPA). The
classification is based on the record of recovery of interest/principal in
these accounts.
Performing Assets - Standard Assets:
Performing Assets are standard assets which do not disclose any
problem and which do not carry more than the normal risk attached to the
business. The Performing Asset is one which generates income for the
Bank.
An account is considered to be a Standard asset when it is !n order
or where the overdue amount is within a period of 180 days and in respect
of Direct Agricultural advance if the amount overdue is less than two
Harvest seasons but for a period not exceeding two Half years.
For the purpose of Balance Sheet as at 31sl march 2002, the following
accounts can be classified as Standard Assets.
a) Fresh running limits availed on or after 31.10.2001.
b) Fresh loans (including Term Loans) availed where date for
payment falls on or after 3.10.2001.
c) Fresh Bills limit availed where due date for payment falls on or
after 3.10.2001.
d) Advances guaranteed by the State Government to the extent of
guarantee cover available.
e) Advances guaranteed by the State Government to the extent of
guarantee cover available, if not invoked.
Canara Bank Analysis of NPA with special reference to SSI Sector
M.P. Birla Institute of Management 13
f) Advances to staff members except cases mentioned elsewhere.
g) Loans/Advances against the Banks Term Deposits, LIC Policies,
NSCs, IVPs and KVPs.
h) Existing loans and advances where interest/installment due on or up
to 3.10.2001 have been paid,
i) Advances granted to Direct Agricultural purpose except allied
activities where amount is overdue less than two Harvest seasons
but a period not exceeding two Half years.
Non Performing Assets:
An amount is to be treated as Non Performing Asset when it ceases
to generate income for the Bank. Such Non Performing Asset shall have
well defined credit weaknesses, which jeopardize the liquidation of the
debt and characterized by distinct possibility that the bank would sustain
same loss, if the deficiencies are not corrected. Non Performing assets are
further classified as Sub standard assets, Doubtful assets and Loss assets.
In respect of loan amount if any amount is overdue for a period of
more than 180 days from the due date, the account should be classified as
Sub Standard Assets, provided it is covered by adequate securities i.e.
where erosion in securities is less than 50% of the value of securities
(Value of securities means the value as assessed by the bank previously
accepted by Reserve Bank of India at the time of last inspection). Such
Non Performing asset accounts can remain in Sub Standard category for a
maximum period of 18 months.
An account which has completed 18 months in Sub Standard
category and which is covered by securities/ECGC/CGTJI cover where
Canara Bank Analysis of NPA with special reference to SSI Sector
M.P. Birla Institute of Management 14
the realizable value is less than 10% of the value of security assessed
earlier and the available value of securities is more than 10% of the
outstanding liability should be classified as Doubtful Asset.
It is not necessary that there should be any gestation period to
classify an account as Loss Asset. A Loss Asset is one where the loss has
been identified by the Bank or the Internal/External Auditors or the
Reserve Bank of India inspectors, but the amount has been written off
wholly or partly. In other words, such an asset is considered uncollectible
with salvage or recovery value.
Further, if the realizable value of the security as assessed by the
Bank/approved valuers /RBI is less than 10% of the outstanding in the
borrowal accounts, such accounts should be classified as Loss Assets.
Further accounts where there is a potential threat of recovery on
account of erosion in the value of security or non availability of security
and existence of other factors such as fraud, Bill discounted with fake
documents, etc, should be classified as Doubtful Assets (where erosion in
the value of securities is more than 50% of the value of securities assessed
earlier and realizable value being more than 10% of the outstanding
liability) or Loss Asset (where realizable value of securities is less than
10% of the outstanding liability), irrespective of the period it has
remained as Non Performing asset.
In the annual accounts of the public sector bank according to the
directives of RBI, two sets of NPA figures should be shown i.e. the gross
NPA and the net NPA. Gross NPA refers to the percentage of bad loans
on the total advances whereas net NPA is calculated after deducting from
the gross NPA provisions and the claims received from the Deposit
Canara Bank Analysis of NPA with special reference to SSI Sector
M.P. Birla Institute of Management 15
Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC). The RBI wants
these two NPAs for analyzing the performance of the banks because a
lower NPA level depicts the fundamental strength of a bank.
Until 1992 there was no system of classification of assets, based on
their income earning capacity. The debiting of interest used to be
continued till the date on which the accounts were transferred to LPD and
the entire interest so debited would have been accounted as income. The
amount of provision required for each asset was decided based on the
availability and value of securities.
The above system gave room for subjectivity. In order to
standardise and introduce common norms to all the banks, Government of
India had appointed a committee headed by Mr. Narasimhan. Based on
the recommendation of the Narasimhan committee, the prudential norms
relating to income recognition, Asset Classification and Provisioning
were introduced by RBI from 1.4.92. Over the years, refinements in the
norms have been brought about to take care of the changing requirements.
The above norms have three main criteria i.e. Asset Classification,
Income Recognition and Provisioning.
INCOME RECOGNITION:
The income recognition is linked to the concept of performance of
the assets. In other words the income from performing assets only is to be
recognised. The income from Non-performing Assets is recognised only
to the extent of actual recovery made during the accounting year. Interest
is not at all debited to all NPAs from the day on which they are first
recognised as Sub-Standard, Doubtful or Loss assets. Branches are also
Canara Bank Analysis of NPA with special reference to SSI Sector
M.P. Birla Institute of Management 16
required to note in the required to note in the ledger the date from which
interest is not debited to these accounts.
PROVISIONING:
The amount of provision required to be created for each assets
depends on the classification of the asset, availability/value of security,
amount of ECGC/other Guarantee available, the age of the NPA etc.
GENERAL
From the foregoing, it may be observed that the prudential Norms
have twin effect on the profitability of the Banks. One, the income from
the Non-performing Assets cannot be recognised (except to the extent of
actual recovery). Two, Bank is required to create provision for the Non-
performing Assets. Both these have a negative impact on our profitability.
Hence, the endeavor of the Bank should be to prevent the loan accounts
from slipping to NPA category. In case any asset becomes NPA,
appropriate steps are to be initiated to upgrade the assets. However, if up
gradation is not at all possible, immediate recovery steps are to be
initiated. The Branches are also to be guided by the Circulars issued by
the HO from time to time in this regard.
BORROWER-WISE CLASSIFICATION
The Asset Classification into performing and non performing is
borrower wise and not account/facility wise. Accordingly, if one account
of the borrower is NPA, the other accounts which are otherwise
performing should be classified as NPA and such PA are called Deemed
NPAs.
Canara Bank Analysis of NPA with special reference to SSI Sector
M.P. Birla Institute of Management 17
"If the borrower is having more than one account and if anyone of
the account is to be classified as doubtful, all other accounts of the
borrower should be classified as Doubtful, though such account may
qualify for classifying as standard and /or sub-standard asset."
Since the Asset Classification is borrower-wise, the total liability of
the borrower and the securities available therefore should be
considered/aggregated for Asset Classification and Provisioning.
REHABILITATION/ NURSING PACKAGE:
Nursing Program is sanctioned either as per the directives of BTFR or
Team/other institutions/Banks. In such cases:
a) The existing facilities shall continue to be classified under category
of Asset Classification before sanctioning of the package.
b) Additional limits sanctioned as per the package alone can be
classified as Standard Asset and hence there is no need for making
any Provision for a period of one year from the date of
disbursement of additional facilities.

NPA AND BANK LENDING:
Phases of Bank Lending
The incidence of non-performing advances is affecting the
performance of the banks both financially and psychologically. The
successful banker-client relationship in the credit functions of bank
involves three important and interlinked phases viz: loan availability, loan
utilisation phase and loan repayment phase.
#� The successful management of the first phase presupposes that the
right type and the right amount of credit are given to the right type
of the client. This phase involves the following actions before the
loan is leased.
a) A prospective borrower approaches the bank for seeking financial
assistance.
b) The banker appraises the loan proposal, and
c) The borrower complies with the formalities for the sanction and
release of the amount.
#� The second phase envisages that the borrower makes proper use of
the amount received from the bank. This phase involves actions
such as mobilisation of non-credit inputs- the right type of
technology, other material and inputs, services, and managerial
skills and uses them for the initiation and completion of the
productive activity for which the loan is taken. It also involves the
mobilisation of supplementary financial resources wherever and to
Canara Bank Analysis of NPA with special reference to SSI Sector
M.P. Birla Institute of Management 22
the extent the credit amount is not equal to the project cost.
Usually, there is some gap between the credit availability from the
banks and the actual financial requirements of the activity/project.
This is a deliberate aspect of prudent credit policy so that the
borrower has some stake in the project. This gap is usually bridged
by the borrower's own funds/or the financial assistance from the
government in the form of subsidy in specified cases.
#� The third phase expects that the borrower repays the outstanding
loan along with the interest in time. This phase has two important
aspects;
a) The project/activity generates enough income in the form of
cash surplus which takes care of the borrower's obligation to
the bank and his reasonable demands on the income
generated by the project.
b) The borrower actually repays the cash borrowed from the
bank and closes the account.
All these three are envisaged in the proper management of any
project. However, in reality, things do not happen as they are expected to.
That is why, many a time, there are various snags in the smooth banker
client relationship
Some of them may be the following nature
a) The right amount may not have been given to the right borrower for
the right activity and at the right time.
b) The amount might not have been properly utilized for the purpose
or even when it had been used for the right purpose, there may not
Canara Bank Analysis of NPA with special reference to SSI Sector
M.P. Birla Institute of Management 23
have been a proper match between the credit and the non credit
inputs.
c) The project might not have generated enough income and surplus.
d) Even if the income and the surplus generated by the project are
adequate for repayment the borrower may have deliberately
defaulted in repayment. In fact the repayment behavior of the
borrower in the field can take any of the following patterns.

Notations used : Lending (L); Activity (A); Production (P); Income (Y);
Repayment (R); Consumption (C); Investment (I).
The first pattern is the ideal situation where the lending leads to
activity, which is productive and hence results into production. This
production is supported by market infrastructure and hence, it is concerted
into income of the borrower. This income is adequate and is judiciously
put in for three uses viz., repayment, improvement in consumption of the
family members, and further investments in the family economy, which
would lead to the future income rise and better standard of living and so
on.
The second pattern ends with repayment. It proposes a very high
repayment ethos on the part of the borrower and/or very strict recovery
machinery so that whatever income is generated in the process is used for
repayment.
The third and the fourth pattern could be considered most prevalent
ones where the income generated with the help of bank credit is used for
partial repayment and for improving the consumption and/or investment
levels of the family.
The fifth pattern may be called the diversion of the income for
production purposes. In this process the economy may not suffer though
the banker is initially a loser. This pattern results in a situation where the
priorities of the borrowers differ from that of the bankers.
The sixth pattern is a case of clear diversion and default in
repayment. This may happen in the situation where the additional income
generated with the help of credit supported activity is less than the
pressing consumption needs of the family.
Canara Bank Analysis of NPA with special reference to SSI Sector
M.P. Birla Institute of Management 25
The seventh pattern may result on account of the nature of the
activity. There are certain activities, which produce directly consumable
items and if their level of production is low enough to meet only the
family consumption needs then the borrower directly uses the produce
without going to the market and selling the same for repayment.
The eighth pattern is a typical example of subsidy oriented credit
schemes where the subsidy is prepaid and the loan is consumed. The ninth
pattern is a pattern clear cut case of misutilization of loan. The tenth
pattern indicates an unfortunate situation of future loans.
These patterns are indicative of many snags which are likely to
emerge in the repayment behavior of the borrowers. As a result of these
snags, the accounts will be termed as overdue and the banks may face a
situation of non performing assets.
Magnitude of the NPA
The level of NPAs in the bank has reached an alarming proportion.
In terms of absolute amount, aggregate NPA of the Canara Bank was
Rs.956 crores as on March 2004. In relative terms, the magnitude of the
problem could be seen from the fact that the NPA as percentage of total
advances was 14.5%.

both financial and psychologically which has been reflecting ultimately
on the balance sheet of the bank.
Objective of the study
#� To understand the nature of NPA in SSI
#� Manager perception about NPA
#� To analyse the quantum of NPA in SSI sectors.
#� To know why the level of NPA is increasing in SSI sectors.
#� To know the change in the movement of NPA in SSI before and
after the RBI guidelines.
#� To know the effect of NPA in SSI to the performance of the Bank.
Scope of the study
#� The study is expected to reveal the hidden reasons for growing
NPA level in the SSI sectors.
#� The study is also reveals the bank perception about NPA.

Data collection mode
The data collection instrument to be used for obtaining the desired
information is questionnaire. The schedules will be designed for the
Bankers.
The Banker will be approached through personal and telephone
interviews in the respondents' bank.
METHOD OF ANALYSIS
The data from the bank was first analysed by making a comparative
study for the previous four years and inferences were drawn . The data
obtained from the respondents was edited and valid responses were
retained for the purposes of analysis. Analysis involves converting the
series of the recorded observations in to descriptive statements and to
draw inferences about the perception of NPA and DRT from the
respondents. Tabular analysis was carried out.
Statistical tools like graphs, tables, etc. were used for analysis.
Findings, conclusions and recommendation were derived based on the
analysis of the responses.
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
�� The study is limited to only one commercial bank.
�� The study is limited to one Circle Office of the Bank.
�� Limited to only NPA section.

OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS
Performing assets: Performing Assets are standard assets which do not
disclose any problem and which do not carry more than the normal risk
attached to the business. The Performing Asset is one which generates
income for the Bank.
Standard Assets: An account is considered to be a Standard asset when it
is in order or where the overdue amount is within a period of 180 days
and in respect of Direct Agricultural advance if the amount overdue is
less than two Harvest seasons but for a period not exceeding two Half

HRD PRACTICES:
From a small town Bank, started way back in 1906, today Bank has
grown to become a frontline Banking Institution of India with sound
foundations. It considers its Human Resources as a most valuable asset.
Banks workforce has inherited a unique heritage of open and
informal family culture. There are a series of people-building HRD
initiatives.
The emerging challenges of a liberalised economy entails on it a
responsibility for developing motivated and knowledgeable workforce to
meet the requirements. :
Towards this end, Canara Bank has been a fore runner in
establishing its own training system way-back in 1950s itself. Our Apex
Level Training College at Bangalore ably supported by 13 Regional
Centres spread over length and breadth of the country takes care of the
knowledge, skill, and attitudinal development of the employees. Being
proactive to the requirements of empowered workforce, the Bank also
sponsors individuals to external training programmes both within and
outside the country.
In order to ensure that a well-motivated workforce contributes
towards the growth of the institution, our Bank has made inroads towards
establishment of Quality Circle concept among its employees.
The growth of this concept can be gauged by the fact that as on
date, it has over 700 active quality circles. These quality circles have
carved out a niche for themselves at various National and International
level competitions and have returned with handsome prizes.

have boosted the morale and commitment of the workforce. These Cells
which have been set-up for giving focused attention towards effective

INTERPRETATION
The level of NPA has increased from 36% to 46.5% from 2001 to
2004. In 2001, 224 SSI cases were taken into consideration for analysis.
But in 2004, 593 cases as taken into consideration for analysis. Thus also
percentage of NPA increasing.
You can see in 2003 the percentage of NPA was 44.5% and in 2004
it is 46.5%. Only 2% is increase in the NPA level. And also STD assets
percentage also increased from 16% to 18.6%. This is due to many
reasons. It can be explained in next part of analysis from the above graph
and detail analysis from the survey.
Canara Bank Analysis of NPA with special reference to SSI Sector
M.P. Birla Institute of Management 50
Standard assets:
There is a growth in all the sectors except in SSI sector. There is a
negative growth in the SSI sector. The growth rate as indicated in the
graph below is from the year 2001 to 2004. There has been increase in
this category of assets since the year 2001, in the non priority sector. The
growth rate in this sector is 32.5%. There has been decrease in the amount
in the SSI sector. This decrease is marginal in the SSI sector during the
past four years. There is also a comparison made in terms of amounts
between the year 2001 and the year 2002. The growth is in other non
priority sector. It constituted 19% of the total advances in the year 2001
and has grown to about 30 %in the year 2004. .
Sub standard assets
Amount locked in SUB STANDARD assets can be clearly
analyzed from the above. The growth rate in various sectors is calculated.
The numbers show a satisfactory performance. There has been negative
growth of 9% in number of accounts. The negative growth rate tells that
the there is a fall in accounts, classified under this category, from 2001 to
2004. But there is growth of about 8% in accounts under the SSI sector
during the last four years.
There has been a decrease in the total amount locked in this
category of assets. There is a decrease in the amount locked in the
agriculture sector from 32 percent to 26 percent and a marginal decrease
in SSI sector. It can also be seen that, there is an increase of about 10
percent in the Large and Medium industries sector during the last four
years.
Canara Bank Analysis of NPA with special reference to SSI Sector
M.P. Birla Institute of Management 51
Doubtful assets (LPD)
The growth rate is fairly satisfactory. There has been overall
decrease in the number of accounts in all the sectors. The growth rate is
about 35.7% and the actual number of accounts has decreased from
60,065 to 17,655 but there is a marginal decrease in amount i.e. from Rs.
206.20 crores in the year 2001 to Rs. 195.31 crores in the year 2004. The
graphs below shows the amount locked in this asset category in the year
2001 and year 2004.
The performance in the agriculture and SSI sectors has been
satisfactory. There is a negative growth of 10.8% and 10.5% in the above
sectors. This means that the amount in this category of asset has been
decreasing since the past four years. Where as the amount in the priority
sector has grown by 22% during the past four years. The amount locked
in Large and Medium industries sector has decreased from Rs. 109.23
crores in the year 2001 to Rs.60.62 crore year 2004.
Loss assets:
Unsatisfactory picture in the number of accounts in the loss assets
category has been increasing. The danger seems to be more in the SSI and
other priority sectors. SSI figures show a poor picture of the bank. The
total advances made to all the sector have [shown a marginal growth.
There is a growth of about 5.4% in the number of accounts during the last
four years and also a growth of 6.5% in terms of total amount in this
category of asset. There is an increase in amount locked in agriculture
sector by about 23% and in SSI sector by about 15% and in other priority
sectors by about 24%. This is reflected in the below graphs.

CASH RECOVERY
Recovery is satisfactory by the Bangalore Circle Office. The actual
amount recovered is nearer to the targets in all the past four years. There
is a growth of about 22 percent in cash recovery during the past four
years. The growth is not convincing because the targets were also reduced
by 19 %. One thing to note is that there was almost 100% recovery in the
year ended 2004.

NPA AND RECOVERY MANAGEMENT – WHY?
Ever since the introduction of reforms in the financial sector, " Non
Performing Asset - NPA" has become one of the dreaded but most talked
about phrases in the conferences, seminars, workshops, meetings etc
conducted by the economists, bankers, trade associations, big wigs of the
industries and of course the Govt. / Semi-Govt. Bodies. After the passage
of nearly 8 years time since implementation of Narasimham Committee
recommendations ( lst report) the tremors of the after effects of the same
are being experienced in the banking sector in the new millennium. The
management of NPA is gaining importance more than ever before and
hence no neglect can be shown by any hanker lest it will be hazardous
and fatal challenging the survival.

CAUSES OF NPA - IN GENERAL
Diagnosis:
Before analysing the causes of the incidence of high NPA in public
sector banks for evolving remedial measures, one must take care into
account the prevailing ground realities in the banking scenario as reported
results cannot be examined in isolation.
Banks being derivative institutions, the health of the real sector is
reflected on the health of banking system. The Banks' health/well being is
inextricably linked to the other sections of the economy. If the credit
discipline in the real sector is weak and the state intervention is not
supportive to the banks then there is every possibility that the banking
system will be weak and unsound. Further, lack of experience, expertise,
timely and adequate credit delivery and effective monitoring attempt of
the banks will also be contributory factors for low recovery and escalation
in NPA level in future. Before, drawing a map and blue print for a path to
effective NPA management it is desirable to find out the major causes
that build up high level of NPA. Some reasons for creation of NPA are
BANK RELATED
a) Internal Factors
�� Pre-sanction level - Appraisal
�� Delay in decision/disbursement
�� Non compliance of sanction terms
�� Improper documentation
�� Ineffective Credit Monitoring and Supervision
Canara Bank Analysis of NPA with special reference to SSI Sector
M.P. Birla Institute of Management 61
b) External factors -Legal Systems/BIFR
�� Interference by External agencies
�� Genera] Causes
�� Causes for priority sector NPA
�� Reasons for slow recovery.
BORROWER RELATED
• Internal factors:
Finance
Production
Marketing
Management
• External factors:
Government policy
Recession
Delay in realization.
REASONS FOR SLOW RECOVERY
#� Unwillingness of borrowers to repay bank dues.
#� Judicial process meant for recovery of dues is time consuming and
cumbersome and less effective.
#� Lack of proper follow up by banks in certain cases.
#� Certain securities become obsolete over the period of time, hence
become unrealisable.
Canara Bank Analysis of NPA with special reference to SSI Sector
M.P. Birla Institute of Management 62
#� Overall recession in economy has resulted in liquidity crunch for
borrowers.
#� In certain cases, factors such as change in Government Policies,
competition, marketability of commodities in which borrower is
dealing, law and order situation, civil amenities etc affect the
business cycle.
Default signals:
A borrower may default his repayment obligations due to -
managerial incompetence, financial inadequacies, product failure, market
competition/technological obsolescence, break away of partnership, or
natural calamities. Hence, a banker should cautiously monitor/observe the
borrower before the accounts turns bad. The following are some of the
signals a banker must watch carefully:
#� Failure of timely payment of installments.
#� Incorrect stock statements.
#� Frequent cheque dishonors
#� Rising level of inventories/non-moving stocks/zero stocks
#� Unreasonable/wide fluctuations in sale/receivables
#� Irregular periodic statements
#� Large and long outstanding in bill accounts
#� Steep decline in production figures
#� Diverting/routing of receivables through non lending banks
#� Maximum outstanding balances
#� Willful default.

Effects of NPA:
NPA affects the bank in many ways —
- Income cannot be booked
- The capital adequacy ratio gets affected.
- NPAs require provisioning from post-tax profits
A high level of NPAs affect the image of the bank and it may find
difficult to raise funds.

Impact of RBI guidelines NPA in SSI sector at circle office,
Bangalore
Std. Assets percentage was increased from 18% to 18.6% from
2003 to 2004. This is due to cash recovery was fast in that particular
period. This is due to RBI guidelines to the bank. A guideline was very
strict and it was directed towards referring of NPA accounts of Bank to
recovery team, outside agency, and especially to DPT. The effort was
very good in this period.
No. of cases referred to DRT increased from 168 to 272 from 2003 to
2004. cash recovery and commission towards effort of DRT was duly
settled in this period. Bank recovered cash amount from SSIs which were
pending from 2001.
Hidden reason for increasing level of NPA in SSIs circle office,
Bangalore, after making all details analysis from the survey the reasons
for this are
1. Liberal credit
2. Head office instructions for lending
3. No proper follow-up and monitoring of credit.
4. Aiming for super profit
5. Poor Legal action
6. Defect in cash recovery target / achievement.
7. RBI guidelines / granting liberal credit
8. Negligence

DEBT RECOVERY TRIBUNAL
The Committee on Financial System (CFS) headed by Shri M.
Narasimham had recommended the setting up of special tribunals for
speedy realization of dues of credit institutions. Consequently, the
Recovery of Debts Due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1933 was
enacted on 27.08.1993 to provide for the establishment of Tribunals for
expeditious adjudication and recovery of debts (Rs. 10 lakh and above)
due to the banks and the financial institutions and for matters connected
therewith or incidental thereto.
So as per the provisions of the Act, 10 Debts Recovery Tribunals
(DRTs) and one Debts Recovery Appellate Tribunal (DRAT) all over the
country were established. Subsequently 12 more DRTs and 4 more
DRATs were established. The Finance Minister has announced the
proposed establishment of a further 7 new DRTs. DRTs have been
working for more than 5 years under the stay order granted by the Hon'
Supreme Court.
The performance of DRTs and DRATs in terms of disposal of cases
and recoveries made is reviewed from time to time. 43,244 cases
involving an amount of Rs, 74,344 crore were filed before DRTs. Out of
these 13,092 cases involving Rs. 8,828 crore have been disposed of.
An amount of Rs.2,292 crore has been recovered. Recent data from
22 DRTs in the country show that Banks have recovered Rs. 2,583 crore
out of Rs. 10,335 crore involving 14,462 cases.
"The Recovery of debts due to Banks and Financial Institution Act
993" was passed by the parliament which came into effect from 24.6.1993
and the provisions are amended by an Ordinance of 17.01.2000.

CHAPTER-V
FINDINGS
1) All the branches offer almost all the products to the customers. But
there are some branches which catered only to retail loans like
housing loans and car loans and personal loans. And also there are
some branches which catered only to industrial loans. (EG: SSI
branches)
2) The result about the repayment by the customers was tricky.
Repayment differs according to the type of the loan the bank lends.
There is excellency (i.e. the customers make repayment on time) in
the repayment of car loans. On the other side the repayment is
average (i.e. the customers make repayment only after rigorous
follow ups) in case of SSI sector.
3) Most of the branches NPA as a percentage to total advances is
between 8 percent to 12 percent. There are also some branches,
about 20 percent, respondents whose response for NPA as a
percentage to advances was between 12 percent to 15 percent.
4) All the branches followed most of the procedures, mentioned in the
questionnaire, for controlling NPAs. But none of the branch sends
demand notices on time to the customers.
5) Most of the branches feel that DRT is not effective in its
functioning. The average time taken by DRT is around six months
to a year and even more than a year in some cases.

6) The quantum of NPAs in most of the branches is less than crores.
There were also some branches whose quantum was in between 10
to 50 crores.
7) It can be found out from the survey that bank is too liberal in
granting credit to SSI’s.
8) It can also be said that bank is making mistake in pre-granting
period or pre-sanctioning period to SSI’s i.e., in making appraisal
of proposal of sanctioning the loan from SSI’s.
9) Bank is also making mistake in monitoring the loan account and
staff of the bank is also responsible for account becoming NPA.
10) Percentage of granting the loan to SSI’s is 75% to 80% of the
proposal amount. It is a major drawback of the bank in sanctioning
the loan.
11) It can also be said that the changes in the movement of NPA in SSI
sectors is in increasing level. The percentage of increase is from
36% to 46.5% from 2001 to 2004.
12) It is also found out that target achievement/ cash recovery is very
poor in SSI sectors.
13) It can also be found out that percentage of NPA in SSI to total NPA
is around 25 to 50%. From this we can say that bank is very poor in
recovering the loan from the SSI’s.
14) It can also be said that role of DRT, outside agency, recovery team
is very poor in their respective roles.

15) The reasons for above or in other words the hidden reason for
above all is:
#� Liberal credit
#� Credit available in all the branches
#� Head office instructions for lending
#� No proper follow up
#� Aiming for super profit
#� Poor legal action
#� Defect in cash recovery target/achievement

CONCLUSIONS
1) Most of the branches have a high level of NPA, which ultimately
has resulted in a high figure in the Circle Office.
2) The standard assets have been decreasing in various sectors except
the other non priority sector. Large and Medium scale industries
and SSIs form the major chunk of the total loss assets.
3) ABC Analysis of the NPAs depict that accounts above Rs. 1 crore
hold the major chunk of the total NPA. The 20-80 Rule can be
applied in this case also. The accounts above Rs. 1 crore constitute
to about 20 % of the total NPA accounts and amounts to 80% of the
total amount.
4) As at the end of March 2004 none of the Regional Offices have
brought down NPA to the targeted level. However Circle Office
Operations, Regional Office Mysore, Regional Office Gulbarga and
Regional Office Kolar have brought down the NPA below their
March 2004 level. ARM Branch has achieved the target fixed to
their branch. RO Davangere, RO Gulbarga, RO Kolar and ARM
Branch have achieved Cash recovery Target. This trend has been
maintained since the year 2004, except that the gross NPA in RO
Gulbarga and ARM has increased compared to the previous years.
5) All the branches are not effective in intimating the customers about
their due date and also they have no proper schedule to meet their
customers. This means that branches are less effective in making
the customers repay.

6) DRT is not effective. This was also evidenced from the responses
from various branches. Most of the branches refer only up to 50
cases to 100 cases to DRT out of the total NPAs and the average
time taken by DRT to give a decree is about 6 months to a year and
in some cases it is above one year.

RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to keep up the tempo in recovery. Circle Office can draw
the following action plan to achieve this stupendous task.
1) Targets are to all Regional offices and in turn suitable targets must
be fixed to all the branches immediately.
2) The major thrust should be given on recovery of hardcore NPAs by
way of compromise settlement. Circle has already taken steps for
arranging more recovery meets/recovery camps which will
accelerate cash recovery especially in case of SSIs. Response
from the branches as well as of the A borrowers to recovery
camps has been considerably encouraging during the previous year.
Many ROs have shown excellent performance under Cash recovery
mainly due to intensive recovery camps. The same tempo will be
continued during this financial year.
3) A study of the NPA position of the Circle during the last 2 to 3
years indicates that the main cause for increasing trend in the level
is fresh accretions to NPA which has more than neutralized the
recovery. Therefore further increase in NPA could be checked if
the fresh inflow to NPA is contained. In this connection, Circle had
identified "watch and special watch" category accounts for close
follow up. As a result of intensive follow up Circle could restrict
the inflow to a certain extent during the second half year.
4) Where OTS (one time settlement) is already permitted but recovery
is not forthcoming as per OTS terms, Branches have to review such
cases and take steps for ensuring 100 percent recoveries.

5) The branches should be given more power to take decisions about
lending and recovery. The Branch Manager, who knows better
about his customers, should be allowed to make the first appraisal
report when the borrower approaches. Based on this appraisal
report the Circle Office should make a detailed report. Branches
should be given some autonomy to select and form their recovery
team.
6) The bank needs an integral organization restructuring to face the
internal factors affecting the increase in NPA level, use of
information technology for better credit administration.
7) Publications of the names of the defaulters who have settled their
dues through compromise. This motivates other defaulters to make
compromises. In some cases, gifts must also be given.
8) Setting up of credit investigation and information agency. Timely
report of the borrowers' activities should be prepared and updated.
This report should be prepared by a well qualified personal. The
report should incorporate all the possibilities of an account
becoming sticky. If there arises some signs of default, rigorous
follow up should be made
9) Using Micro credit to stop accounts slipping in to NPA. Small
loans or Micro credit as it is followed on a small scale should be
followed on a larger scale. The Bank should use this as a weapon to
tackle the problem of NPAs. This system should be also followed
in other sectors like SSI, other priority sectors and Non priority
sectors. Even though the money requirement of these sectors is
Canara Bank Analysis of NPA with special reference to SSI Sector
M.P. Birla Institute of Management 93
more compared to small borrower, who prefer micro credit, the
same concept can be modified to suit the larger borrowers.
The other ways are,
10) Personal touch with the borrowers/ Account holders: With the
increase in the number of accounts, there has been loss in the
personal interaction with the borrowers and account holders. To
regain the personal touch with the borrowers. Each branch should
have one or more Relationship Manager/Officers, based on the
number of accounts, who meets the borrowers continually and
evaluate the psyche of the clientele
11) Common Documentation: Documentation contains the terms and
conditions of the understanding between the Creditors and the
Borrower reduced into writing. It is very significant as it serves the
legal purposed
12) Reminder letters should be sent to the borrowers. If there is no
response, second and a third reminders should be sent. This sort of
reminders will continue until the recovery is made.
13) All the borrowers may not respond to the reminder and therefore it
becomes essential to visit them personally. During the visit, the
branch staff should enquire about their difficulties in loan payment
and request them to cooperate with the branch even by making a
small payment.
14) One time settlement in another macro level concern. As the judicial
process is time consuming and ineffective, banks have advised
defaulting borrowers. This provides scope for willful defaulters
becoming eligible candidates for such a settlement.

15) “We do not fear to negotiate, but we do not negotiate out of fear”
so goes a wise saying. Banks appear to be forced to negotiate with
willful defaulters more out of fear of non recovery. The argument
in favour of these negotiated settlements is that the present
discounted value of future (uncertain) cash flows may be less than
what is expected to be received under such settlements. This may
be good mathematics but very bad banking. In the long run, banks
will find to their dismay that the "one line settlement queue11
lengthening every year. However, one time settlements are
perfectly fair practices, with regard to honest borrowers whose
units are no longer viable.
16) Often banks do not display empathy with regard to sick but viable
units. A more professional approach on the part of the banks
(without involving the B1FR) will prove that rehabilitation of such
units will not only reduce the NPA accounts but also create
economic prosperity for the nation. Banks need to be innovative
and bold to succeed in their endeavor in this regard.
17) The recovery team should be comprised of well qualified persons,
who have strong human relations and can understand the mentality
of the people. They should be given timely training about the new
ways for making recovery. Targets should be given and incentives
should be given for meeting the targets.
