INTRODUCTION
Banking in India originated in the last decade 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 in the country. Central banking the
responsibility of the reserve bank of India, which in 1935 formally took over these
responsibilities from the imperial bank of India, relegating it to commercial banking
functions. After India’s Independence in 1947, the reserve bank of India was nationalised and
given broader powers. In 1969 the government nationalized the 14 largest commercial banks;
the government nationalized the six next largest in 1980.
As per the Reserve bank of India (RBI), India’s banking sector is sufficiently capitalised and
well-regulated. The financial and economic conditions in the country are far superior to any
other country in the world. Credit, market and liquidity risk studies suggest that Indian banks
are generally resilient and have withstood the global turmoil.
The Indian banking industry has also witnessed the roll out of innovative banking models like
payments and small finance banks. RBI’s new measures may go a long way in helping the
restructuring of the domestic banking industry.
Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The first banks were the
general bank of India, which started in 1786, and the Bank of Hindustan , both of which are
now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the state bank of India, which originated
in the bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almost immediately became the bank of Bengal.
This is one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the
Bank of Madras, all three of which were established under the charters from the British east
India Company. For many years the presidential banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did
their successors. The three banks merged in 1925 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which
upon India’s independence became the State bank of India.
Indian merchants in Calcutta established the Union bank in 1839, but it failed in 1848 as a
consequence of the economic crisis of 1848-1849. The Allahabad bank, established in 1865
and is still functioning today, is the oldest Joint Stock bank in India. It was not the first
though. That honour belongs to the Bank of Upper India, which was in 1863 , and which
survived until 1913 , when it failed, with some of its assets and liabilities being transferred to
the Alliance Bank of Shimla.
When the American Civil War sopped the supply of cotton to Lancashire from the
Confederate States, promoters opened banks to finance trading in Indian cotton. With large
exposure to speculative ventures, most of the banks opened in India during the period failed.
The depositors lost money and lost interest in keeping deposits with banks. Subsequently,
banking in India remained the exclusive domain of Europeans for next several decades until
the beginning of the 20th century.
Foreign banks too started to arrive, particularly in Calcutta, in 1860s. The Comptoire
d’Escompte de Paris opened a branch in Calcutta in 1860, and another in Bombay in 1862:
branches in Madras and Pondicherry, then a French colony, followed. HSBC established
itself in Bengal in 1869. Calcutta was the most active trading port in India, mainly due to the
trade of the British Empire, and so became a banking centre.
The first entirely Indian Joint Stock bank was the Oudh Commercial Bank, established in
1881 in Faizabad. It failed in 1958. The next was the Punjab National Bank, established in
Lahore, 1895, which has survived to the present and is now one of the biggest banks in India.
Around the turn of the 20th Century, the Indian Economy was passing through a relative
period of stability. Around five decades has elapsed since the indian Mutiny, and the social,
industrial and other infrastructure had improved. Indians had established small banks , most
of which served particular ethnic and religious communities.
The presidency banks dominated banking in India but there were also some exchange banks
and a number of Indian Joint Stock banks. All these banks operated in different sectors of the
economy. The exchange banks, mostly owned by europeans, concentrated on finncing foreign
trade. Indian joint stock banks were generally undercapitalized and lacked he experience and
maturity to compete with the presidency and exchange banks.
The period between 1906 and 1911, saw the establishment of banks inspired by the swadeshi
movement. The Swadeshi movement inspired local businessmen and political figures to
found banks of and for the Indian community. A number of banks established then have
survived to the present such as Bank of Baroda, Bank of India, Corporation bank, Canara
Bank, Central Bank of India and Indian Bank.
The fervour of Swadeshi Movement lead to establishing of many private banks in Dakshin
Kannada an Udupi District which were unifid earlier and known by the name South Canara
district.
the period during the First World War(1914-1918) through the end of the end of the second
World War(1939-1945), and two years thereafter until the independenceof India were
challenging for Indian banking. The years of the first world war were turbulent, and it took its
toll with banks simply collapsing despite the Indian economy gaining indirect boost due to
war-related economic activities. At least 94 banks in India failed between 1913 and 1918 as
indicated in the following table.
Post- Independence:
The partition of India in 1947 adversely affected the economies of Punjab and West Bengal,
paralyzing banking activities for months. India’s independence marked the end of a regime of
the Laissez-Faire for the Indian banking. The government of India initiated measures to play
an active role in the economic life of the nation, and he Industrial Policy Resolution adopted
by the government in 1948 envisaged a mixed economy. This resulted into greater
involvement of the state in different segments of the economy including banking and finance.
the major steps to regulate banking included:
● In 1948, the Reserve Bank of India, India’s central banking authority was
nationalized, and it became an institution owned by the Government of India.
● In 1949, the banking regulation act was enacted which empowered the Reserve bank
of India (RBI) “ to regulate, control and inspect the banks in India”
● The banking regulation Act also provided that no new bank or branch of an existing
bank could be operated without a license from the RBI, and no two banks could have
common directors.
however, despite these provisions, control and regulations, banks in India except the State
Bank of India , continued to be owned and operated by private persons. This changed with
the nationalisation of major banks in India on 19th July 1969.
Nationalisation:
By the 1960s the Indian banking industry had become an important tool to facilitate the
development of the Indian economy. The ,then ,Prime minister Indira Gandhi issued an
ordinance and instructed the Government of India to nationalize the 14 largest commercial
banks with effect from the midnight of July 19,1969.
A second dose of nationalization of 6 more commercial banks followed in 1980. The stated
reason for nationalization was to give the government more control of credit delivery. Thus
the government of India controlled around 91% of the banking business of India.
Liberalisation:
this period marked the policy of licensing a small number of private banks, which came to be
known as , tech-savvy banks, and included Global Trust Bank, which later amalgamated
with Oriental Bank of Commerce, UTI bank(now Axis bank), ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank.
The next stage was marked with setting up relaxed norms for Foreign direct investment,
where all foreign Investors in banks may be given voting rights which could exceed the
present cap with certain restrictions.
Currently, banking in India, is fairly mature in terms of supply, product range and reach even
across rural India. The banking industry has been the keen focus for the growth of the
economy through recapitalization of various banks into one such as- all subsidiaries of the
State bank into one, such as State bank of Travancore, State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur,
State Bank of Patiala have all been clubbed into one as State Bank of India.

Lending in India today has created an investment culture and it plays an important role in
driving the national economy. It provides leverage to an entrepreneur to undertake projects at
a larger rate than what could have been undertaken without the availability of credit. In this
light asset quality management is one of the most critical areas in determining the overall
condition of a bank. When the loans and credit cannot be paid it reflects the banks errors and
flaws in the crediting procedure. Today the present challenge is to manage Non- performing
assets of a bank, which in turn determines the health of the bank.
This study is highly significant in the sense that in the current phase of growth moderation in
Indian economy , the issue of rising NPA has assumed critical importance for the banking
industry. It is a well-accepted fact that the quantum of NPAs in loan portfolio of Bank varies
inversely with economic conditions. During slowdown, NPAs rise and impact the
profitability of Banks. If the NPAs of the Banks rise the funds will be blocked and the Banks
will not be in a position to finance a new project. This study is designed to provide accurate
and authorized information regarding the subject matter.
The Union bank of India is one of the oldest banks in the banking sector and provides a wide
range of loans for the various financing needs of the entrepreneurs in the country today.
Every task is undertaken with an objective. Without any objective, a task is rendered
meaningless. The basic idea behind selecting the topic of Non-Performing Assets is to study
how banks today provide lending and thereby manage NPAs . It is also to gather practical
knowledge as to why NPAs are a huge burden to the banks.

CREDIT MONITORING
Credit monitoring is an inseparable part of bank lending from the date lending activity
commences. There are three cardinal principles of lending that banks follow while taking a
decision in providing credit . these are principles of safety, liquidity and profitability, the
most important being principle to ensure safety of the funds lent. It means the borrower must
repay the loan amount with interest as per loan agreement. Ability to repay the loan depends
upon the borrower’s capacity to pay as well as his willingness to repay.
1. Ensure safety of the money lent by the Bank: This is the primary objective of the bank
to ensure safety of the money
2. Credit delivery to take place after complying with all the stipulated terms and
conditions: credit delivery means disbursement of credit facilities to take place after
complying with all the stipulated terms and conditions
3. Procedures of the bank are to be complied with: All the laid down guidelines and
procedures as per the loan policy and instruction circulars are to be complied
4. Assets in standard category to remain standard: Assets should be performing
throughout the life of assets and the quality of it should not degrade
5. Assets should be stress free: within standard category, accounts are to be upgraded
from SMA,EAS-II, EAS-I to pure standard category i.e. to ensure that the accounts
are stress free
6. Accounts do not slip to NPA category: The main purpose of monitoring is that the
assets should not get downgraded
Goals of Credit monitoring
6. Exit option: If assistance to the unit cannot be continued in the long run and if it is felt
that it will jeopardize the interest of the bank, then to resort to exit option, if
workable.
7. Recovery measures: If exit option cannot be worked out and where interest of the
bank is under threat, then to initiate quick appropriate recovery measures in all such
potential NPA accounts.
Monitoring is nothing but Plan-do-check-act cycle which is to be done on continuous basis.
Therefore the assets require continuous monitoring and improvement. Continuous means
never ending or without break. Improvement has to be continuous because quality either gets
better or it gets worse.
Monitoring of borrower:
It is rightly said that the person behind the activity is more important than the activity itself, if
the borrower’s intentions, integrity, character etc., which are, of course, are the personal traits
are impeccable, there are rare chances of bank’s facing problems in recovery of the dues.
The adage “OUT OF SIGHT IS OUT OF MIND” holds true in case of borrowers. When the
banker fails to keep the sight of the borrower, the borrower loses sight of the banker which
results in non- repayment of the loan.
The very purpose of credit monitoring is to ensure and sustain the asset quality, value,
productivity and.profitability.it further leads that borrowal accounts should be stress free and
do not slip into NPA category having complied with all laid down procedures conveyed
through sanction terms and conditions. the underlying are certain tools available for
monitoring
1. Stock and book debt statements: submitted by the borrower every month, these
provide details like total value of stocks and book debts, total salrs and purchases
during the month, details of sundry debtors with dates of origin with declaration by
the borrower that reported book debts are not encumbered in any manner. From these
signed statements, a banker has to scrutinize and ensure that unpaid stocks, stocks
received under DA L/C, stocks in book debts older than 90 days do not rank for
drawing power (D/P).
2. M6/Q4 statement: It is a monthly/ quarterly inspection report based on stock and
book debt statements. The authorized bank official has to comment on the authenticity
of account operations and turnover, documentation stipulations and execution,
valuation basis for stocks, excess borrowings over DP, details of insurance policies in
force, overdue bills and installation etc. it also checks on display of bank’s name
board, letter of free access/no lien and updated rent receipt- when the business unit
does not own the premises. Comments here are minor points for the monitoring
official to sustain the follow up action for suitable remedial measures in time.
3. Monthly Select Operational Data (MSOD): it is a powerful monthly tool to
compare and monitor yearly projections with monthly trends in sales, purchases and
gross profit to ensure liquidity, healthy turnover and profitability. It reflects on the
estimates of gross sales, net sales, production value, total debtors and receivables out
of which bills purchased/discounted by the bank comparing the trends with figures up
to the end of the reporting month. It also provides details of sundry creditors,
inventories, stock-in & stock-out during the month and charged to the bank, gross
profit during the month vis-à-vis current accounting year up to the end of the
reporting month. On the basis of these select operational data, the key monitoring
official has to comment on the action taken to overcome poor turnover in the account,
incidence of bills/cheques unpaid, frequency of cash withdrawals.
4. Monthly Monitoring Report (MMR): Its submission is to be ensured every month
through the prescribed format up to Rs. 50.00 lacs to be scrutinized by branch
officials. Apart from basic operating details, it comments on banking arrangement for
meeting credit needs, credit ratings, restructured status if any, credit process audit,
DBC updating, vetting of documents, registration of charge with ROC and its validity.
It also comments on review/renewal status, ledger operations, execution of equitable
mortgage and overall conduct of the account. In an integrated manner, it provides
enough signals for the alert banker to initiate appropriate remedial measures in time.
5. Stock Audit Report: This is a unique tool to monitor the adequacy of current assets
in general and inventory in particular to derive the correct drawing power. It also
KRUPANIDHI DEGREE COLLEGE 14
A CASE STUDY ANALYSIS ON NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AT UNION BANK OF INDIA
details of composition of current assets, current liabilities, net working capital and
current ratio at end of the last year in comparison to the same at the end of the quarter
vis-à-vis the change during the current year till end of reporting quarter in line with
the estimates made at the beginning of the current year. It derives trends from the
financing pattern of current assets: shares of bank borrowing, sundry creditors, other
current liabilities and net working capital. It scrutinizes the levels of inventory ,
receivables and sundry creditors through computing the holding periods for all of
these key items in operating cycle. In addition , the half yearly operating fund flow
statement(HOF) comprising of part A and B makes meaningful comparison of long
term surplus/deficit, changes (increase or decrease) in current assets and current
liabilities other than bank borrowings, changes in working capital gap, net
surplus/deficit from both long term and short term funds. It resolves the issue whether
change in bank borrowings is commensurate with change in working capital gap. This
is a powerful tool at the time of review/renewal to ensure permissible bank finance
while focusing on the sound functioning of the unit in desirable directions as per
projections and past trends.
9. Other supportive monitoring tools: Apart from the major monitoring tools
mentioned above, there are other supporting tools in form of :
● Advocate’s vetting report: It contains the empanelled lawyer’s remarks and
certificate of authenticity of the documents executed as per action sanction
stipulations. Emphasis is made on the qualifying remarks on adequacy and
quality of documentation process. Taking a cue from this report, the bank
official need to ensure that all relevant documents have been obtained, charge
created is legally enforceable and all documents are adequately stamped
confirming to law of limitation period.
● Visit report of key officials from controlling office: It comments on NPA
management & recovery with details of position of NPAs at the beginning of
the year, addition of slippages, deductions through cash recovery/up
gradation/write-off etc. vis-à-vis the ceiling level target.
● Asset Quality Management Committee (AQMC) meeting observations: It
emphasises on the follow up and timely renewal of limits for up-gradation to
stress free category by recovering the over dues including the critical amount.
It revisits the justification of moratorium & EMI to ensure that no account

NPA does not only affect the bank but it has a bad impact on the public in general. It
adversely affects the economy and hampers growth of the nation.
NPA level of the bank shows the strength and performance of the bank and has a direct
impact on the bank
i. Stops generating Income: When an account turns to NPA, banks stop charging
interest in the loan accounts which is why it is called non- performing.
ii. Provisioning: bank will not only stop charging interest but has to make a provision
from the income earned by other assets. Besides the mandatory provision for different
class of assets, RBI has prescribed the banks for additional/voluntary minimum PCR
(Provision Coverage ratio) of 70% on total NPA to strengthen the financial soundness
of the banks.
iii. Profitability: Higher the NPA higher will be the provisions, which reduces overall
profitability of the banks.
iv. Yield on Advances: Yield on advances will be low due to high level of NPA
v. Interest Rate: High level of NPAs results in low yield on advances and there will be
pressure on margin which leads to charging high rate of interest on other accounts. It
will have the impact on not only acquiring the new customers but to retain the
existing customers also.
vi. Recycling of Funds: Funds are blocked and cannot be recycled and used for further
lending/requirements
vii. Liquidity: Bank’s liquidity management is the process of generating the funds to
meet contractual or relationship obligations at reasonable prices at all times. New loan
demand, existing loan commitments, and deposit withdrawals are the basic
contractual and relationship obligations that bank must meet. If the account turns bad
there will be liquidity crisis in the bank
viii. Affect ALM: Recycling of funds is affected due to which there will be asset liability
mismatch thereby posing risk of liquidity. Therefore to meet the payment of the
liability, bank has to borrow funds from market at higher rate of interest. Since the
funds are blocked and the deposits are maturing on a continuous basis, it will affect
the ALM (Asset Liability Management)
ix. Reputation Risk: Banks with high NPAs may get branded as Banks without controls
which are a reputational risk to the bank. It reflects on decision making capability and
inability to manage and monitor the assets.
x. Cost of funds: Due to the liquidity problem, borrowing from the market at higher
interest will interest the cost of fund.
xi. Wastage of man hours: A lot of time and energy is required in monitoring and
follow up of stressed assets which would otherwise have been utilized for acquiring
new business for the bank.
xii. Cost involved in follow up: Stressed assets require not only provisioning but there is
a good amount of cost involved in follow up and monitoring of the account. The
carrying cost of NPA accounts will be high
xiii. Affects bank’s rating: Credit rating agencies do the CAMELS ratings of the banks.
C stands for Capital, A stands for asset quality, M stands for Management, E stands
for earning, L stands for liquidity and S stands for Sensitivity to market risk. Rating is
affected mainly on asset quality and earning of the bank and both are mutually related
to each other.
xiv. Providing of Capital: To maintain the capital adequacy ratio we have to keep an
maintain the required capital as the risk weight for NPA accounts are high.
xv. Net Worth: Due to the high provisioning requirements the net worth of banks will be
adversely affected.
xvi. Book Value per share: Net worth (Excluding revaluation reserve and intangible
assets) divided by equity multiplied by ten. If the net worth is affected, the book value
of share will also be affected.
xvii. EPS: Earning per share is net profit divided by equity multiplied by ten. Therefore if
the profit will decrease our EPS also will decrease.
xviii. Share Prices: Share prices of a bank depend on the NPA level of the bank only as we
have seen in case of SBI in June-12 quarter. Though the profit of SBI has doubled due
to rise in NPA level share price has fallen down.
xix. Adverse effect on other businesses: Other business of the bank will be adversely
affected due to the high level of NPAs.
xx. Adversely affects dividend Pay-out: Due to the effect on profitability, Dividend
payout will also be affected accordingly
xxi. Quality of manpower: This will have the impact on the quality of existing as well as
newly recruited staff also.
Impact on Borrower:
i. Reputation & image in the market: If the account turns into NPA the reputation
and image in the market will be at stake as they are unable to meet their liability on
time.
ii. Bad credit rating: the credit rating of the borrower will go down and reports
generated in CIBIL will have a poor rating
iii. High interest rate: stressed assets will be having poor rating thereby the cost of
borrowing will be high. The bank will charge higher interest rate as well as penal
interest on poorly rated assets or bad quality assets.
iv. Question on ability: If the account turns into NPA, it means the promoters or
partners are not capable of running the project successfully and unable to manage the
funds
v. No access to credit: Due to the poor credit rating or default in one of the project the
borrower will be branded as ‘failure’ and will not ne able to avail the credit from any
other financial institution.
vi. Problem in new/other venture: The borrower will be having problem in starting
the new venture in respect of credit, labour, purchaser, supplier, buyer, etc.
vii. Availability of manpower: Due to the bad image in the market, people may not be
ready to get associated with the firm who is having bad image in the market.
viii. Quality of goods/services: Because of the problems stated above the firm will not
be able to maintain quality of goods/services.
ix. Customers: Adverse impact will result in shifting of the customer loyalty towards
the firm/company
Impact on Economy:
In the current phase of growth moderation in Indian Economy, the issue of rising NPA has
assumed critical importance for the banking industry. It is a well-accepted fact that the
quantum of NPAs in loan portfolio of banks varies inversely with economic conditions.
During slowdown, NPAs rise and impact the profitability of the banks. If the NPAs of the
Banks rise the and impact the profitability of the banks. If the NPAs of the Banks rise the
funds will be blocked and the banks will not be in a position to finance a new project. Due to
the stressed assets of banks, the economy of a country will be affected in a number of ways
which are as below:
viii. Reputation risk: poor rating of a country will affect their reputation and ultimately
affecting foreign assistance/WB/UN.
ix. Insecurity in the society: There will be a general insecure feeling in the society that
the similar type of firm may fail at any point of time and will not get the job in future.
Impact on Employee:
Apart from the impact on banks, borrowers and economy , it also has direct impact on the
employee of the firm which is as below:
i. Insecurity: The employee or the firm will feel insecure in the sense that if the firm is
not able to meet the commitments/obligations of banks then how their future is
secured. Kingfisher airlines is a classic example
ii. Morale: Morale of th staff members will be low in the sense that the firm is a
defaulter and there will be pressure from the bank to make the accounts regular.
iii. Start thinking of other alternatives: The employee will start looking for other
opportunities as the firm is not in a good condition
iv. Efficiency will be affected: The employees efficiency will be affected and will not be
giving their 100% to the firm due to the reasons mentioned above.
v. No incentive: If the firm is not performing well the staff may not get any incentive as
the firm itself is in problem and is not able to meet the liabilities/commitments. On
time and there may be chances of salary reduction too
vi. Career: The career/future of the employee will be adversely affected as the firm is
not performing well in which they are working presently.
vii. Personal/ social life: There will be adverse impact on their personal life where they
will also be questioned for their non- performance for which they are not at all
responsible.

COMPANY PROFILE:
Union Bank of India was established on 11th November 1919 with its headquarters in the city
of Bombay now known as Mumbai
The Head Office building of the Bank in Mumbai was inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi, the
Father of the nation in the year 1921, and he said on the occasion:
"We should have the ability to carry on a big bank, to manage efficiently crore of rupees in
the course of our national activities. Though we have not many banks amongst us, it does not
follow that we are not capable of efficiently managing crore and tens of crore of rupees."
His prescient words anticipated the growth of the bank that has taken place in the decades
that followed. The Bank now operates through over 4200+ branches across the country. The
Bank's core values of prudent management without ignoring opportunities is reflected in the
fact that the Bank has shown uninterrupted profit during all 96 years of its operations.
Union Bank has been playing a very proactive role in the economic growth of India and it
extends credit for the requirements of different sectors of economy. Industries, exports,
trading, agriculture, infrastructure and the individual segments are sectors in which the bank
has deployed credit to spur economic growth and to earn from a well diversified portfolio of
assets.
Resources are mobilized through Current, Savings and Term Deposits and through refinance
and borrowings from abroad. The Bank has a large clientele base of over 5.7 crores.
On the technology front the Bank has taken early initiatives and 100% of its branches are
computerized. The Bank has also introduced Core Banking Solution with connectivity
between branches. 100% of the business of the Bank is under Core Banking Solution making
it a leader among its peers in infusion of technology. Many innovative products are
