LITERATURE REVIEW
Bhattacharya (2001) in his paper Banking
Strategy, Credit Appraisal & Lending decision
rightly points to the fact that in an increasing rate
regime, quality borrowers would switch over to
other avenues such as capital markets, internal
accruals for their requirement of funds. Under such
circumstances, banks would have no option but to
dilute the quality of borrowers thereby increasing
the probability of generation of NPAs.
Mohan (2003) conceptualized lazy banking
while critically reflecting on banks investment
portfolio and lending policy. The Indian viewpoint
alluding to the concepts of credit culture owing to
Reddy (2004) and lazy banking owing to Mohan
(2003) has an international perspective since
several studies in the banking literature agree that
banks lending policy is a major driver of non-
performing loans (McGoven, 1993). Furthermore,
in the context of NPAs on account of priority sector
lending, it was pointed out that the statistics may or
may not confirm this. There may be only a
marginal difference in the NPAs of banks lending
to priority sector and the banks lending to private
corporate sector. Against this background, the
study suggests that given the deficiencies in these
areas, it is imperative that banks need to be guided
by fairness based on economic and financial
decisions rather than system of conventions, if
reform has to serve the meaningful purpose.
Experience shows that policies of liberalisation,
deregulation and enabling environment of
comfortable liquidity at a reasonable price do not
automatically translate themselves into enhanced
credit flow. Although public sector banks have
recorded improvements in profitability, efficiency
(in terms of intermediation costs) and asset quality
in the 1990s, they continue to have higher interest
rate spreads but at the same time earn lower rates
of return, reflecting higher operating costs
(Mohan,2004).
Prashanth K Reddy (2002) in his work A
comparative study of Non Performing Assets in
India in the Global context - similarities and
dissimilarities, remedial measures by evaluated
the position of India with respect to other countries
in terms of NPA. This paper deals with the
experiences of other Asian countries in handling of
NPAs. It further looks into the effect of the reforms
on the level of NPAs and suggests mechanisms to
handle the problem by drawing on experiences
from other countries.
Santanu das (2007) in his work Management of
Non-Performing Assets in Indian Public Sector
Banks with special reference to Jharkhand had
taken a state specific research in the banking sector.
He rightly points to the fact that Expansion of
credit is a must for a country like India. But as
mentioned above, high credit growth may lead to
high NPAs. Policymakers, therefore, face the
dilemma as to how to minimize such risks that arise
from dilution in credit quality, while still allowing
bank lending to contribute to higher growth and
efficiency.

Jigar j. Soni (2007) in his study of comparative
analysis of private and public sectors NPA
pointed out that there is a huge difference in the
public and private sector banks NPA and their
handling of the same. He also concluded that public
sector banks average NPA is lesser than the
average NPA of private sector banks. Jh
awar Ashok and Arya Maneesh Kant (2009)
discussed about the wage burden after a revision of
salary of bank employees and profitability of
banks. Arya Maneesh Kant and Sonwalkar J.
(2009), discussed the effect on profitability and
volatility of income with non interest income of
banks.
Sachin Nanda (2008) finds in his paper
Challenges of NPA to PSBs in India is that the
only problem that the Public Sector Banks are
facing today is the problem of nonperforming
assets. If the proper management of the NPAs is
not undertaken it would hamper the business of the
banks. The NPAs would destroy the current profit,
interest income due to large provisions of the
NPAs, and would affect the smooth functioning of
the recycling of the funds.
M. Karunakar, Mrs. K.Vasuki and Mr. S.
Saravanan in their research paper Are non -
Performing Assets Gloomy or Greedy from
Indian Perspective touched the ascpect such as
The problem of losses and lower profitability of
Non-Performing Assets (NPA) and liability
mismatch in banks and financial sector depend on
how various risks are managed in their business.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The research is based on secondary data obtained
from RBI, IBA and some researchers have already
been done in the same fields. Data has been taken
for the period 2005-2009. The period is considered
for the research because of RBI issued new
guideline for management and administrates the
NPA. Ratios, growth, graphs and charts have been
used for analysis purpose.

The measure of non-performing assets helps to assess the efficiency in allocation of resources made by banks to
productive sectors. Absolute growth of gross NPA of banking industry has been recorded 16.39% with average

of 3.28%. Public Sector banks managed their NPA efficiently in2004-05 to 2008-09. Negative growth has been
seen in the analysis period. Higher growth has been in Private Sector banks and foreign banks.

Net NPA analysis has also been showing the same performance of different groups. Foreign banks groups Net
NPA is 71.76% with highest average growth, 16.13% of Private Sector and with 4.89% Public Sector banks.
The trend of improvement in the assets quality of banks continued during the period.
The reasons are that the Indian banks could recover a higher amount of NPA during the period. Among the
various channels of recovery available to banks for dealing with bad loans, the SAFAESI Act and Debt
Recovery tribunals (DRTs) have been most effective in term of amount recovered (report on trend and progress
of banks 08-09).

The aggregate ratio of banking industry (Net

.Of this the net NPAs to net advances ratio of the
Private Sector Banks was 2.3% closely followed by
Public Sector Bank sat 2.1% For Foreign Banks,
the ratio was much lower at 0.9%.
In the year 2008-08 situation was just reveres.
Public Sector banks group with 0.94%, Foreign
banks group 1.09% followed by Private Sector
banks group 1.21%.
There are many reasons to this change the most
important reason was Public and Private Sector
banks stepped up recovery efforts through
numerous methods. In addition to their own
internal recovery processes, banks recovered to the
tune of Rs 608 crore through one time settlement

and compromise schemes, Rs 223 crore though
SARFAESI Act. Assets Reconstruction Company
of India Ltd. (ARCIL) acquired 559 cases
amounting to Rs 21126 crore from banks.
Conclusion and recommendations:
Banks are having Net Interest Margin (NIM)
between 3 to 5 percent any increase in NPA reduce
the profitability of banks. The banks which are
working in marginal difference may have loss.
Small banks are required to control NPA. There are
many small banks which have been merged in big
banks i.e. Lord Krishna, Centurion Bank, Bank of
Panjab etc. it is just because of question of
survivability in competitive environment.
Merger and acquisitions are good solutions for
giving strength to an organization but in this
process an organization/s lose their identity. There
are many mergers have been taken place in banking
industry in these changes one organization has to
change /lose its identity. This may be due to
continuous loss in the organization.
1. Strengthening provision norms and loan
classification standards based on forward looking
criteria (like future cash flows) were implemented.
2. Through securitization they can reduce NPA
3. Speed of action- the speedy containment of
systematic risk and the domestic credit crunch
problem with the injection of large public fund for
bank recapitalization are critical steps towards
normalizing the financial system.
4. Strengthening legal system by giving strict
guideline for credit analysis in terms of continuity
of income and earnings.
5. Maintain required capital adequacy ratio as per
Basel II norms. That means now the provision for
NPA will be more. This may look a conservative
approach. But it should be implemented to reduce
risk. ( Almost all banks achieved capital adequacy
norms till date.)
