CHAPTER 1
1.1 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.
1.2 History of Indian Banking Sector:
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 financing 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 unified earlier and known by the name South Canara
district.
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

Title Of The Study:
“A Study on the Impact of Non-Performing Assets on the Financial Health of Union
Bank of India”
Statement of The problem:
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 thereby determining the good
health of a bank
Non- Performing assets have been seen to be rising in the recent, it is not only difficult to
extract the credit provided but it also refrains the bank from lending further. Thereby
pressurizing the bank to borrow from the apex body,. This transaction in turn not only
affects the bank but the economy as a whole. To promote more entrepreneurs and
businesses it is imperative that the bank has the ability to provide those funds, the Non-
Performing assets of the bank are directly proportional to be reduced ability to function
normally. In a broader view, it severely affects the health of the bank and opens the
opportunities for questions on the sound financial structure of the country
Objectives:
Primary objective:
The main objective of this project is to understand about the impact of Non-Performing
Assets on the Financial Health of the Bank.
Secondary objectives:
To identify the measures taken by the bank to manage NPAs
To analyze the errors and flaws existing in view of the NPA
To analyze about the relationship between the process of provisioning and credit
monitoring
To study about the effects of NPAs on the economy as a whole
Statement of Hypothesis:
The following hypothesis is put forward in this study:
1. Ho: Non- Performing Assets does not affect a Bank’s Health negatively
2. Hi: Non- Performing Assets affect a bank’s financial Health negatively.
Operational Definition of Concept:
The various definitions relevant to the study include:
III. As per the Reserve Bank of India , “ In accordance with asset classification norms
brought in with effect from March 31, 2004, a non-performing asset (NPA) shall be a
loan or an advance, where:
6. Interest and /or instalment of principal remain overdue for a period of more than 90
Days in respect of a Term Loan,
7. The account remains 'out of order' for a period of more than 90 days, in respect of
an overdraft/ cash credit (OD/CC)
8. The bill remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days in the case of bills
purchased and discounted,
9. Interest and/ or instalment 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
10. Any amount to be received remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days in
respect of other accounts. “
IV. “A Non-performing asset (NPA) is 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.”
Data Collection:
Primary data: Nil
Secondary data:
The secondary data for this work will be obtained from company websites, company
magazines and brochures, annual reports, internet, text books, and other materials provided
Plan Of Analysis:
The data has been collected from the financial reports of the organization. The relevant data
for five years will be compared using comparative technique. A trend analysis and affect of
Non-Performing assets on the financial health will be determined accordingly. Inferences and
interpretation of the data will be done on the basis of tabulated data using chi-square method.
Review Of Literature:
Non-Performing Asset is a double-edged sword. While on the other hand , it ceases generating
income for the bank, on the other it takes away a part of the profit earned through provisioning.
It also poses great reputational risk for the banks. Though the NPAs are inevitable, increasing
trend is a matter of great concern, which needs to be addressed on a war-footing and also on
an on-going process.
We must understand how an account/asset will be classified as NPA and the norms for
classification.

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.
Objectives of Credit Monitoring
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
1. Periodical monitoring: Periodic monitoring of the actual performance of the assisted
borrower vis-à-vis the projections accepted at the time of credit sanction. The
performance will include sales, operating profits, inventory, debtors level, cashflow,
DER, DSCR, Break-even point etc.
2. Identify the problem: Where the projections are not met and the actual performance
varies by a wide margin, then we have to identify the problems faced by the borrower
for timely remedial measures like rescheduling/restructuring.
3. Regular interaction: To interact with the borrower on a regular basis to know the day-
to-day operations, specific problems faced by the unit, etc. it will help us in knowing
development of the project and the future plan of action of the customer.
4. Market trend: Watch the market trend regularly and compare it with the performance
with the borrower. The performance of the firm is to be compared with the similar type
units which are there in the market.
5. Assistance: Whether the borrower faces any difficulty in servicing interest in time,
repaying instalments on due date, meeting commitments of non fund based limits in
time and to take remedial measures.
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.
3600 view of borrower:
✓ First: Discover his credibility in the market or his work place.
✓ Second: Take information from their dwelling place.
● Longer Period of credit allowed on sales, Bills negotiated through the bank outstanding
after due dates, frequent return of bills and later or non-realization of receivables
● Constant utilization of working capital limits to the brim
● Unexplained delay or failure to submit periodical statements such as stock/book debts
statements, MSOD,CMA, QPR, balance sheets etc. and other papers needed for review
of account
● Frequent requests for excess/additional limit or for extension of time for repayment of
interests/instalments.
● Ad-hoc/excess/bill purchase overdue, LC devolvement/guarantee invocation
● Lack of transparency in borrower’s dealings with the bank/avoiding to meet bank
officials
● Constant failure or willingness to mention unpaid stock in stock statements or age of
book debts in book debt statement.
Signals to be noticed during inspection/visits:
● Delay in project implementation
● Installations of sub-standard machinery or machinery not as per the project
report/approved quotations.
● Frequent break down in plant/machinery
● Production noticeably below projected level of capacity utilization
● Labour problem and frequent interruptions in manufacturing
● Non-availability of vital spare parts/major raw material
● Production of unplanned items without reporting to the bank
● Disposal/replacement of vital plant and machinery without bank’s knowledge
● Downward trend in sales
● Higher rate of rejection at process stage/final stage/after sales.
● Delay or failure to pay statutory dues
● Diversion of working capital for capital expenditure or for other use
● Abnormal increase in debtors and creditors
● Increase in inventory, which may include large quantity of slow and non-moving items
● General decline in the particular industry combined with many failures
● Rapid turnover of key personnel
● Filing of law suits against the company by its customers, creditors, employees etc.
● Unjustified rapid expansion within a short time without appropriate financial tie up

IMPACT OF NPA
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.
Impact on the Bank:
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

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:
i. Less investment: Due to high level of stressed assets in a particular project/area others
also will be hesitant to invest in those sectors therefore, there will be less investments.
ii. Credit Creation: At macro level, high NPAs have choked off the supply line of credit
to potential borrowers. Availability of credit to SMEs at competitive rates is affected
including enterprising spirits. There will not be credit creation in the economy thereby,
affecting the growth and ultimately it will paralyze the country.
iii. Asset Creation: Due to less investment, no asset creation will happen thereby capital
formation will be affected.
iv. Less production: due to the less investment in project production will suffer.
v. Increase in unemployment: If there is less investment and no new project there will
be blockage of employment opportunity.
vi. Effect on GDP growth: If there is stressed assets or a high level of NPAs in the banks
huge amount of funds is blocked in the system which would otherwise have been
invested effectively to generate employment and income thereby contributing to the
GDP in the economy.
vii. Down-gradation of rating: international rating agencies release the rating of the
country for the purpose of investments. If there is high level of NPAs or stressed assets
in the banks the country will be having poor rating accordingly and this will also affect
not only the investments but our exports and imports will also suffer.
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.
