Non-Performing Asset(NPA)

Non-Performing Asset(NPA)


    In simple words, when the bank gives a loan to a person, sometimes it happens that the person taking the loan is not able to make regular payment to the bank. Then the bank sends him a notice that brother, you see your own, otherwise the legal action will be taken against you… yet the man does not pay or is able to make it. Now, what action did the bank take against him?But we are going to talk about NPA, so we will talk about NPA. When that man fails to repay the money / interest to the bank, the bank declares that loan as Non-Performing Asset (NPA) (= Bad Loan). You will be surprised to know that as of now there is more than 1 lakh crore NPAs in India.

Debt Recovery Tribunals

  • Before the 90s, the bank had to face a lot of difficulties in recovering bad loans.
  • Because most of the loan-taking banks had some reaction, before that they used to put the cases on the reverse banks that I was unfair, the loan was given by giving wrong information, etc… .. and these cases used to go on in the civil court… on the date Date… Date on Date….
  • So in 1993, the government set up Debt Recovery Tribunals to deal with NPA matters.
  • Now borrowers cannot appeal in civil court. His cases run only in Debt Recovery Tribunals (DRT).
  • Even though this has facilitated banks, but more than 75 thousand cases are still pending in DRT.
  • In 2002, the government brought an act named - SARFAESI Act

SARFAESI Act

The word SARFAESI stands for Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002

Suppose, Gajodhar opened a factory of 100 crores. He brought so much money from the following sources -

Equity (IPO >Shares)
  • Own money = 20 crore
  • From IPO / Public = 30 crore

Debt (loans, bonds)
  • Business loan from Bank = 40 crore
  • Bonds = 10 crore
Total = 100 crore.

Initially, Gajodhar's company did well. But from where Gajodhar did his MBA, he forgot all the classes, books and his company started sinking and he is in loss now. Now he was unable to fill the EMI of his bank. The bank sent a notice to him. Nevertheless, Gojadhar was unable to fill the EMI. SBI declared 40 crore rupees as NPA (Non-Performing Asset). Once the loan NPA is declared, the bank can take action to recover the loan under the SARFAESI Act.


Bank has following powers due to SARFAESI Act-
  • The bank can seize Gajodhar's assets (commercial, residential, fixed or moving) without a court order.
  • Auction / Sale can do its assets.
  • If Gajodhar has already sold his asset to a third person, the bank can take all the assets from the third person as well.
  • If the third buyer has money from Gojodhar, then banks can also take it.

⇨Under SARFAESI, only a loan of up to 10 lakhs can come.
⇨SARFAESI is applicable only to those assets which are "mortgaged / secured" for availing loans.
If Gajodhar Bhaiya has taken a business loan from the bank, then the bank asks him to keep his factory / machine / vehicles / land etc. as a mortgage. 

Therefore, the bank cannot take Gajodhar's personal home furniture, expensive wristwatch or his son's bicycle in the name of SARFAESI. Agricultural land is also not included in the SARFAESI Act.

Difference between Gross Domestic Product at Market Price(MP) and Gross Domestic Product at Factor Cost(FC) In the previous article, we learned what GDP is and how to calculate it. If you didn't seen my previous article then click this link What is GDP and GNP and Methods to calculate it . But at the end of that article, I said to be continued so I am writing this article. You must have read about GDP at market price (MC) and GDP at factor price (FC) many times. But the clean language of economics overwhelms us. I do not know why they serve things in books, but some terms of economics are very easy to understand. Take GDP (mp) and GDP (fc) only. Gross Domestic Product at Market Price It is clear from the name itself that there is talk of market price here. The price / price of a product or service that we buy from the market. Suppose you and we go to the hotel and eat tandoori roti. When the food starts to rise, the waiter comes and stops the bill. Then we both start argu...

T hings to do while you self-quarantine As the number of suspected and confirmed coronavirus patients in the world continues to climb, one of the most common responses from state and county public health officials is to suggest people who may have been exposed to the disease self-quarantine. Don't leave your house unless you need to go to a doctor, stay home. If there are other people in your home, you should attempt to stay in one room as much as possible and use a separate bathroom. As concerts are postponed, sporting events are canceled, schools are closed and tourist hot spots are shut down, experts recommend that even those who show no sign of illness stay home during this time of global pandemic.  Now the question is how we can spend our precious time?
