2. MEANING : NON PERFORMING ASSETS(NPA)
• NPA is a classification used by the financial institution that refers to
loans that are in jeopardy(loss) of default.
• Loans which given by banks to borrowers, once borrower fail to repay
either interest or sum after 90 days it is treated as a NPA.
3. A SHORT HISTORY OF NPA
• The Narasimham committee(1991) identified NPA as one of the
possible causes/effects of the malfunctioning of the public sector
banks(PNBs). NPAs are those categories of assets like advances, bills
discounted, overdraft, cash credits which cease to generate income
for the bank.
• Basis for treating a credit facility as NPA :
1. where interest on instalments on a term loan overdue for 90 days
2. any bill overdue for a period of 90 days
3. any cash credit remains overdue for 90 days

14. Calculating NPAs
• GNPA:
Gross Not Performing Assets is an absolute amount. It tells you the
total value of the gross non performing assets for the bank in a particular
quarter or financial year.
• NNPA:
Net Non performing Assets subtracts the provisions made by the bank
from the GNPA. Exact value after provisions.
• NPA Ratios:
Expressed as a percentage of total advances.
GNAP=Total GNPA/total advances
NNPA= Total NNPA/total advances
15. BAD BANKS
• A bad bank is a financial entity set up to buy Non-Performing Assets
(NPAs), or Bad Loans, from banks.
• The aim of setting up a bad bank is to help ease the burden on banks by
taking bad loans off their balance sheets and get them to lend again to
customers without constraints.
• After the purchase of a bad loan from a bank, the bad bank may later try to
restructure and sell the NPA to investors who might be interested in
purchasing it.
• A bad bank makes a profit in its operations if it manages to sell the loan at
a price higher than what it paid to acquire the loan from a commercial
bank.
• However, generating profits is usually not the primary purpose of a bad
bank — the objective is to ease the burden on banks, of holding a large pile
of stressed assets, and to get them to lend more actively.
16. • Pros:Single Exclusive Entity:
• It can help consolidate all bad loans of banks under a single exclusive entity.
• The idea of a bad bank has been tried out in countries such as the U.S., Germany, Japan and
others in the past.
• The troubled asset relief program, also known as TARP, implemented by the U.S.
Treasury in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, was modelled around the idea of
a bad bank.
• Freedom to Use Freed-up Capital:
• By taking bad loans off the books of troubled banks, a bad bank can help free
capital of over Rs 5 lakh crore that is locked in by banks as provisions against these
bad loans.
• This will give banks the freedom to use the freed-up capital to extend more
loans to their customers.
17. cons
• Merely Shifts one Pocket of Government to another:
• Bad bank backed by the government will merely shift bad assets from the hands of
public sector banks, which are owned by the government, to the hands of a bad bank,
which is again owned by the government.
• There is little reason to believe that a mere transfer of assets from one pocket of
the government to another will lead to a successful resolution of these bad
debts when the set of incentives facing these entities is essentially the same.
