Chapter 1: Introduction of Project
1.1 Introduction of Topic
Non-performing Assets
The three letters “NPA” Strike terror in banking sector and business circle today. NPA is
short form of “Non Performing Asset”. The dreaded NPA rule says simply this: when interest
or other due to a bank remains unpaid for more than 90 days, the entire bank loan
automatically turns a non performing asset. The recovery of loan has always been problem
for banks and financial institution. To come out of these first we need to think is it possible to
avoid NPA, no cannot be then left is to look after the factor responsible for it and managing
those factors.
MEANING:-
An asset that ceases to generate income for the bank is called Non-Performing Asset.
NPA are advances that have ceased to perform. An advance asset will cease to be a
Performing asset and will be deemed to have become a “Non-Performing” asset when there is
A default in the payment of interest amounts, which are debited to the advance
account.
A default in the repayment of the installments pertaining to the principal amount of
the advance.
DEFINITION OF NPA :
“Non Performing Asset means an asset or account of borrower, which has been
classified by a bank or financial institution as sub-standard, doubtful or loss asset, in
accordance with the directions or guidelines relating to asset classification issued by
RBI.”
An asset, including a leased asset, becomes non-performing when it ceases to generate
income for the bank.

A ‘non-performing asset’ (NPA) was defined as a credit facility in respect of which the
interest and/ or instalment of principal has remained ‘past due’ for a specified period of time.
With a view to moving towards international best practices and to ensure greater
transparency, it has been decided to adopt the '90 days overdue' norm for identification of
NPAs, form the year ending March 31, 2004. Accordingly, with effect from March 31, 2004,
a non-performing asset (NPA) shell be a loan or an advance where; interest and /or
installment of principal remain overdue for a period of more than 90 days in respect of a
Term Loan, the account remains 'out of order' for a period of more than 90 days, in respect of
an overdraft/ cash Credit(OD/CC), the bill remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days
in the case of bills purchased and discounted, interest and/ or installment of principal remains
overdue for two harvest seasons but for a period not exceeding two half years in the case of
an advance granted for agricultural purpose, and any amount to be received remains overdue
for a period of more than 90 days in respect of other accounts.
1.2 Significance of Project
The outcomes analyzed from this study would be beneficial to various sections such as:
Banks: This study would definitely benefit the banks in a way that directs them as to which sector should be given priority for lending money.
Further Researchers: The major beneficiaries from the project would be the researchers themselves as this study would enhance their knowledge about the topic. They get an insight of the present scenario of this industry as this is the emerging industry in the financial sector of the economy.
Student: To get the understanding of NPA concept as a whole.
1.3 Rationale/ Reason behind the Project
1. Study the concept of Non-Performing Assets.
2. To study Classification of the asset in NPA.
3. To study rates of NPA provision according to classification of the asset.
4. To study various rules and policies, guidelines issued by RBI.
5. To understand various account statements we have to prepare in the NPA account.

1.4 Scope of the project
The term NPA connotes a financial asset of a bank, which has stopped earning an
expected reasonable return; it is also a reflection of the productivity of the unit, firm,
concern, industry and nation where that asset is idling. Viewed with this perspective, the
NPA is a result of an environment that prevents it from performing up to expected levels.
Scope of NPAs deals with two sets of policies
1. Relating to existing NPAs.
2. To reduce fresh NPA generation.
As far as old NPAs are concerned, a bank can remove it on its own or sell the assets to
AMCs to clean up its balance sheet. For preventing fresh NPAs, the bank itself should
adopt proper policies.

Ch.1 Introduction
INDIAN BANKING INDUSTRY:
Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The oldest bank in
existence in India is the State Bank of India, a government-owned bank that traces its origins
back to June 1806 and that is the largest commercial bank in the country. Central banking is
the responsibility of the Reserve Bank of India, which in 1935 formally took over these
responsibilities from the then Imperial Bank of India, relegating it to commercial banking
functions. After India's independence in 1947, the Reserve Bank was nationalized and given
broader powers. In 1969 the government nationalized the 14 largest commercial banks; the
government nationalized the six next largest in 1980.
Since the dawn of independence, Indian financial sector in general and banking in particular
has leaped giant strides into a systematized growth environment. Indian Banks have
consolidated their growth year after year. Measures like setting up of Reserve Bank of India
as the regulator, bank nationalization and other reforms have worked as catalyst in the
development drive. There was always a need to have regulated, uniform and prudent
accounting policies for the banks with special reference to the credit risk involved in lending
activities so that the significant growth in the business volumes of banks was ably supported
by a well set regulatory norms.
Currently, India has 169 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 28 public sector banks (that is
with the Government of India holding a stake), 31 private banks (these do not have
government stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges) and 43 foreign
banks. They have a combined network of over 53,000 branches and 17,000 ATMs.
According to a report by ICRA Limited, a rating agency, the public sector banks hold over 75
percent of total assets of the banking industry, with the private and foreign banks holding
18.2% and 6.5% respectively.

BANK:
A bank is an institution that accepts deposits of money from the public, withdrawal by
cheque, and uses the money collected for lending to the household, the firm and the
government. An organization, usually a corporation, chartered by a state or federal
government, which does most or all of the following: receives demand deposits and time
deposits, honors instruments drawn on them, and pays interest on them; discounts notes,
makes loans, and invests in securities; collects checks, drafts, and notes; certifies depositor's
checks; and issues drafts and cashier's checks.
INDIAN BANKING REGULATION ACT, 1949 define the activity of the bank as:
“accepting for the purpose of lending or investing of deposits of money from the
public repayable on demand or otherwise, and withdrawal by cheque, draft and
order or otherwise.”
Following are the three important features of this definition of commercial bank:
1. Essential function of a bank is that it accepts chequeable deposits from the public.
Bank accepts deposits from the public at large. Moreover these deposits are repayable
on the demand and withdrawal is allowed by cheque.
2. The second essential function of a bank is that the bank uses these deposits for
lending to other and undertaking investment in securities.
3. Creation of money is a unique characteristic of commercial bank. Their debts
circulate as money in the economy. Banks have the power to create and destroy through
their lending activities. Money created by commercial bank is known as “Bank
Money.”

Ch.2 Research Methodology
Research Methodology
Research Methodology is the systematic design, collection, analysis & reporting of data &
findings, relevant to appraisal specific situation facing the company. The Research was an
exploratory type, which aims at finding the true potential of the organization and also a
qualitative analysis regarding the Recovery Performance of NPA of a Nagpur City Region of
Bank of Maharashtra.
Type of Research
Exploratory / Formulative Research:
Exploratory research is a preliminary study of the subject matter. It aims to delve into the
nuances of the problem. It is usually a preliminary study and is followed by descriptive,
experimental research. It does not have a formal and rigid design as the researcher may have
to change his focus or direction, depending on the availability of new ideas and relationships
among variables. It attempts to see what is there, rather than trying to predict the underlying
relationships. An exploratory study usually involves three steps- a review of pertinent
literature, an experience survey, and an analysis of insight stimulating cases.
Learning the Theoretical aspects:
Various data on Non-Performing Assets have been collected from Bank of Maharashtra and
the theoretical aspects have been understood.
Analyzing the Data:-
The data of Recovery Performance of Nagpur City Region of Bank of Maharashtra was
collected and analyzed with various Graphs. With the help of Annual Report of the Bank of
Maharashtra and figures made available for Nagpur City Region the present NPA of the
Nagpur City Region are studied and analysis has been made in the project. On the basis of
that analysis some Findings and Suggestions are given at the end of the project.

Ch.4 Review of Literature
According to a study by Brownbridge (1998), most of the bank failures were caused by nonperforming loans. Arrears affecting more than half the loan portfolios were typical of the failed banks. Many of the bad debts were attributable to moral hazard: the adverse incentives on bank owners to adopt imprudent lending strategies, in particular insider lending and lending at high interest rates to borrowers in the most risky segments of the credit markets.
Bloem and Gorter (2001) suggested that a more or less predictable level of non-performingloans, though it may vary slightly from year to year, is caused by an inevitable number of ‘wrong economic decisions by individuals and plain bad luck (inclement weather, unexpected price changes for certain products, etc.). Under such circumstances, the holders of loans can make an allowance for a normal share of non-performance in the form of bad loan provisions, or they may spread the risk by taking out insurance. Enterprises may well be able to pass a large portion of these costs to customers in the form of higher prices. For instance, the interest margin applied by financial institutions will include a premium for the risk of nonperformance on granted loans. At this time, banks’ non-performing loans increase, profits decline and substantial losses to capital may become apparent. Eventually, the economy reaches a trough and turns towards a new expansionary phase, as a result the risk of future losses reaches a low point, even though banks may still appear relatively unhealthy at this stage in the cycle.
According to Gorter and Bloem (2002) non-performing loans are mainly caused by an inevitable number of wrong economic decisions by individuals and plain bad luck (inclement weather, unexpected price changes for certain products, etc.). Under such circumstances, the holders of loans can make an allowance for a normal share of nonperformance in the form of bad loan provisions, or they may spread the risk by taking out insurance.
Petya Koeva (2003), his study on the Performance of Indian Banks. During Financial Liberalization states that new empirical evidence on the impact of financial liberalization on the performance of Indian commercial banks. The analysis focuses on examining the behavior and determinants of bank intermediation costs and profitability during the liberalization period. The empirical results suggest that ownership type has a significant effect on some performance indicators and that the observed increase in competition during financial liberalization has been associated with lower intermediation costs and profitability of the Indian banks.
Das and Ghosh (2003) empirically examined non-performing loans of India’s public sectorbanks in terms of various indicators such as asset size, credit growth and macroeconomiccondition, and operating efficiency indicators. Sergio (1996) in a study of non-performing loans in Italy found evidence that, an increase in the riskiness of loan assets is rooted in a bank’s lending policy adducing to relatively unselective and inadequate assessment of sectoral prospects.
Vradi et.al (2006), his study on´ Measurement of efficiency of bank in India concluded that in modern world performance of banking is more important to stable the economy .in order to see the efficiency of Indian banks we have see the fore indicators i.e. profitability, productivity, assets, quality and financial management for all banks includes public sector,
12
private sector banks in India for the period 2000 and 1999 to 2002-2003. For measuring efficiency of banks we have adopted development envelopment analysis and found that public sectors banks are more efficient then other banks in India.
Brijesh K. Saho et.al (2007), this paper attempts to examine, the performance trends of theIndian commercial banks for the period: 1997-98 - 2004-05. Our broad empirical findings areindicative in many ways. First, the increasing average annual trends in technical efficiency for all ownership groups indicate an affirmative gesture about the effect of the reform process on the performance of the Indian banking sector. Second, the higher cost efficiency accrual of private banks over nationalized banks indicate that nationalized banks, though old, do not reflect their learning experience in their cost minimizing behavior due to X-inefficiency factors arising from government ownership. This finding also highlights the possible stronger disciplining role played by the capital market indicating a strong link between market for corporate control and efficiency of private enterprise assumed by property right hypothesis. And, finally, concerning the scale elasticity behavior, the technology and market-based results differ significantly supporting the empirical distinction between returns to scale and economies of scale, often used interchangeably in the literature.
Roma Mitra et.al (2008), A stable and efficient banking sector is an essential precondition toincrease the economic level of a country. This paper tries to model and evaluate the efficiency of 50 Indian banks. The Inefficiency can be analyzed and quantified for every evaluated unit. The aim of this paper is to estimate and compare efficiency of the banking sector in India. The analysis is supposed to verify or reject the hypothesis whether the banking sector fulfils its intermediation function sufficiently to compete with the global players. The results are insightful to the financial policy planner as it identifies priority areas for different banks, which can improve the performance. This paper evaluates the performance of Banking Sectors in India.
B.Satish Kumar (2008), in his article on an evaluation of the financial performance of Indianprivate sector banks wrote Private sector banks play an important role in development of Indian economy. After liberalization the banking industry underwent major changes. The economic reforms totally have changed the banking sector. RBI permitted new banks to be started in the private sector as per the recommendation of Narashiman committee. The Indian banking industry was dominated by public sector banks. But now the situations have changed new generation banks with used of technology and professional management has gained a reasonable position in the banking industry.
M. Karunakar et.al (2008), Study the important aspect of norms and guidelines for making the whole sector vibrant and competitive. The problem of losses and lower profitability of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) and liability mismatch in Banks and financial sector depend on how various risks are managed in their business. Besides capital to risk Weightage assets ratio of public sector banks, management of credit risk and measures to control the menace of NPAs are also discussed. The lasting solution to the problem of NPAs can be achieved only with proper credit assessment and risk management mechanism. It is better to avoid NPAs at the market stage of credit consolidation by putting in place of rigorous and appropriate credit appraisal mechanisms.

Nelson M. Waweru et.al (2009), Study that many financial institutions that collapsed in Kenya since 1986 failed due to non performing loans, this study investigated the causes of nonperforming loans, the actions that bank managers have taken to mitigate that problem and the level of success of such actions. Using a sample of 30 managers selected from the ten largest banks the study found that national economic downturn was perceived as the most important external factor. Customer failure to disclose vital information during the loan application process was considered to be the main customer specific factor. The study further found that Lack of an aggressive debt collection policy was perceived as the main bank specific factor, contributing to the non performing debt problem in Kenya.
Kevin Greenidge et.al (2010), study the evaluation of non-performing loans is of greatimportance given its association with bank failure and financial crises, and it should therefore be of interest to developing countries. The purpose of this paper is to build a multivariate model, incorporating macroeconomic and bank-specific variables, to forecast non-performing loans in the banking sector of Barbados. On an aggregate level, our model outperforms a simple random walk model on all forecast horizons, while for individual banks; these forecasts tend to be more accurate for longer prediction periods only.
