Npa and Its Recovery Measures
The magnitude of NPAs have a direct impact on banks profitability as legally they are not allowed to book income on such accounts and at the same time banks are forced to make provision on such assets as per the RBI guidelines. The Indian Banking sector is facing a serious situation in view of the Mounting NPAs which are the tune of Rs.56,000 crores in March 2002.NPAs is an important parameter in the analysis of financial performance of banks. The reduction of NPAs is necessary to improve profitability of the banks and comply with capital adequacy norms.
Therefore, to solve the problems of existing NPAs, quality of appraisal supervision and follow up should be improved. The NPAs can be avoided at the initial stage of credit consideration by putting rigorous and appropriate credit appraisal mechanism. This is in order to recover the NPA debt, the judicial systems should revamped and is essential to enforce the SARFAESI Act with more stringent provisions to realize the securities and personal assets of the defaulters
Major steps taken to solve the problems of Non-Performing Assets in India :-

1. Debt Recovery Tribunals (DRTs)

Narasimham Committee Report I (1991) recommended the setting up of Special Tribunals to reduce the time required for settling cases. Accepting the recommendations, Debt Recovery Tribunals (DRTs) were established. There are 22 DRTs and 5 Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunals. This is insufficient to solve the problem all over the country (India).

2. Securitisation Act 2002

Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act 2002 is popularly known as Securitisation Act. This act enables the banks to issue notices to defaulters who have to pay the debts within 60 days. Once the notice is issued the borrower cannot sell or dispose the assets without the consent of the lender. The Securitisation Act further empowers the banks to take over the possession of the assets and management of the company. The

    The National Recovery Administration (NRA) was established by Congress in June 1933. The goal of the NRA was for representatives of business, labor, and government to establish codes of fair practices that would set prices, production levels, minimum wages, and maximum hours within each industry. The NRA sought to establish the economy by ending overproduction, labor conflicts, and deflating prices. Businesses that participated and collaborated with the NRA were asked to display the Blue Eagle emblem outside their place of work. In September 1935 the Supreme Court declared the NRA unconstitutional, ruling that it was “an illegal delegation of legislative authority” and that the federal government was interfering with states’ authority.…

    The introduction of financial sector reforms in India has led to innovations in financial markets and instruments. One of the most prominent developments in the international finance in recent times that is likely to assume even greater importance in future is ‘securitisation’. Securitisation is the process of pooling and re-packaging of homogenous illiquid loans into marketable securities. Increased pressure on operating efficiency, on market niches, on competitive advantages, and on capital strength, all provide fuel for rapid changes. Securitisation is one of the solutions to these challenges. 2. Reserve Bank of India, as a facilitator, has attempted to explore the intricacies of securitisation as a process of financial engineering and its applicability to the Indian financial system especially in the mortgage and infrastructure sectors. The in-house Working Group constituted by the Bank had the benefit of presentations of and interaction with market intermediaries, regulators, industry experts and international agencies on various aspects associated with securitisation. 3. The report defines asset securitisation and makes a reference to future flow securitisation. Motivation and benefits in the form of capital relief, improvement in return on equity and return on assets, use as a strategic tool, asset liability management, improved liquidity, upgradation in system, Originator discipline, etc. have been highlighted. 4. Various impediments viz., lack of investors’ base, capital market infrastructure, regulatory framework, legal provisions, accounting and taxation issues besides good quality assets, past data and standardisation of documents have been identified. In the process of exploring opportunities in India, the ideal conditions for success of securitisation in USA and other countries are highlighted. 5.

    The issue of non-performing assets (NPAs) in the fast expanding retail segment has started haunting the the domestic banking industry. The recent phenomena like high real estate prices, the rising interest rates and falling Sensex where a great deal of funds out of personal loans have been invested will impact the sticky assets in the retail segments, said a chief of public sector bank.. For a quality asset player like HDFC Bank though ratio of gross non-performing assets (NPAs) to total customer assets was 1.17 % in 2005-06 as against 1.47% as of March 31 2005, there has been an increase in NPAs in absolute terms during the year. Increases in NPAs during the year were primarily related to the deliquencies in various loan products, said the bank's annual report for 2005-06. However, these deliquencies and NPAs were within the expected levels for each of the retail assets products given the seasoning of the retail portfolio. The net non-performing assets (gross non-performing less specific loan loss provisions , interest in suspense and ECGC claims received) were 0.44% of the net advances and 0.36 % of customer assets as of March 31 2006 as against 0,24 % and 0.20 %, respectively as of March 31, 2005 reflecting the higher proportion of retail loans in the bank's loan book and changing mix of retail loan portfolio. Also according Prakash P Mallya, chairman & managing director, Vijaya Bank the frauds have taken place mainly in the housing loan segment. Thoogh it has not reached alarming proportions but the level of non performing assets (NPAs) in the housing loan space was going up year after year. "That is the reason why RBI also in its last credit policy have asked us to increase the risk weight to assets. That is also the reason the rates (in housing loan) have also gone up,'' he said. The banks normally ask their legal departments to give legal opinion on a particular property, on which they are going to give housing loan. "We advance money based on their opinion.…

    With the increase of NPLs, the level of market confidence will be affected. The effect of the banks’ bad-loan problems can be seen at the East Asian crisis which occurred in July 1997. During the crisis, banks’ balance sheets were deterioration due to the increasing of NPLs which showed in the Figure 1 below (Detragiache & Gupta). The problem was started as the deregulation was exercised in the financial markets. A lot of loan borrowings from the private nonfinancial business sector were easily being approved. But, the bank regulators failed to supervise the borrowers as there was a lack of expertise in screening and monitoring the borrowers at banking institutions. Hence, the default loans started to increase and the banks’ net worth (capital) became lesser. The bank would have lesser fund to lend. Then, the economic activity would be reduced due to the lack of funds (Mishkin and Eakins, 2000).…

    For creditors, after commencement, Section 223 stated that any disposition of company’s property including things in action and any transfer of shares or alteration in the status of the members of the company made after the commencement of the winding up by the court shall unless the court otherwise orders be void. Any attachment, sequestration, distress or execution put in force against the estate or effects of the company after the commencement of the winding up by the court shall be void (Section 224 of Company Act 1965). It means that they cannot enforce judgement or orders they obtained after the commencement of winding up. After commencement, winding up usually treated as default allowing secured creditor to uplift and sell company assets over which they have security. When there is any shortfall, the secured creditor should file a proof of debt and in such an instance, the status is changed to an unsecured creditor. However, if there is any surplus after deducting the secured creditor's debts, the secured creditor has to give the remaining proceeds to the liquidator to be put in the company's estate.…
