BANK MANAGEMENT

A non-performing loan is a loan that is in default or close to being in default. Many loans
become non-performing after being in default for 90 days, but this can depend on the contract
terms.

Role of NPA on Indian Economy

 Non-Performing Assets(NPAs) on Banks

The increasing NPAs not only reduce the profitability of banks but also affect its credibility. In
fact the massive amount of NPAs with commercial banks is threatening to erode half of the
capital base of public sector banks. Once a bank started incurring losses, the problem may
destabilize the confidence of the depositors and depositors may start withdrawing money from
the banks leading to collapse of banking sector.

 Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) on Industry

As a result of increasing NPAs in industrial sector, banks were reluctant to fund the needs of
industrial sector hampering its growth. The shortage of funds to the industrial sector will affect
the growth of the industrial sector. The continuous shrinking of credit to industrial sector is
detrimental to not only industries but overall economy as well.

 Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) on Economy

Strong banking sector is one of the most significant prerequisite of strong economy because it
channels the savings into the investment. Today, the Indian banking industry is dealing with the
mammoth amount of NPAs which is fifth largest in the world. Infrastructure accounts for biggest
chunk of NPAs. Because of massive amount of NPA in infrastructure, the banks are now
reluctant to fund this sector. As the infrastructure is one of the most important sectors in
economy which fuels the growth of other sectors, draining of resources to infrastructure may
hamper the growth of Indian economy.

Overall impact of increasing Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) can be summarized as follows:


 The higher is the amount of non-performing assets (NPA) the weaker will be the bank’s
revenue stream.
 Indian Banking sector has been facing the NPA issue due to the mismanagement in the
loan distribution carried by the Public sector banks.
 As the NPAs of the banks will rise, it will bring a scarcity of funds in the Indian markets.
Few banks will be willing to lend if they are not sure of the recovery of their money.
 The shareholders of the banks will lose of money as banks themselves will find it tough
to survive in the market.
 This will lead to a crisis situation in the market.
 The price of loans, interest rates will shoot up badly. Shooting of interest rates will
directly impact the investors who wish to take loans for setting up infrastructural, industrial
projects etc.
 It will also impact the retail consumers, who will have to shell out a higher interest rate
for a loan.
 All these factors hurt the overall demand in the Indian economy.
