PROVISIONING
Provision on loans is analogous to adjustment for doubtful accounts.Provisioning
is maintained at branch levels. This is followed inorder apply the Matching
Principle and Expense & loss Recognition Principle that suggest the
recording of a probable loss account to be adjusted in the period it operates and
is assumed to occur. For every provisioning, each branch debits Income
Account and credits Provision against loans to better match expense with
revenue and show the effects by reducing income for any given period. And after
the actual write off, the Loss Account will be rebounded to the entry which
debits Provision against loans and credits loss account.

branch’s opinion on the proposal and recommendation as per the situation of the
claim.
4.12 RESORTING TO LEGAL ACTION FOR RECOVERY OF STUCK-UP
ADVANCES
Branches can initiate the legal procedures only when they are assured that the
classified loan will not be recovered through persuasion alone .For initiating legal
action branch shall obtain prior permission from Head Office. Request for such
permission should indicate desired nature of legal action to be initiated and the
request should accompany a resume of the account. While initiating legal action
a careful consideration shall be made to take all the “off-ledger” interest
elements of the account and that all the concerned persons have been involved
with such action. As soon as the legal action is initiated, it will be circulated to
Head office along with all the particulars of such action. Legal expenses incurred
will be charged to prepaid expenses (legal action).
At present following legal recourses are available for recovery of bank dues

process and branches have to make necessary arrangement to follow-up and
monitor the progress of the suit so as to ease the disposal of the suit. It is quite
normal that the borrower may resort to different tactics to delay the procedure
and branches must be vigilant to protect the banks. It shall be the particular
responsibility of the branch manager to ensure proper monitoring and
supervision of the legal proceedings so as to protect the bank’s interest.
4.13 FURNISHING LISTS OF DEFAULTED BORROWERS TO OTHER BANKS
Branches under the authorization of the Head Office have to circulate the list of
defaulting borrowers to Bangladesh Bank or other banks and financial institutes.
This ensures that other banks will not extend credits to any previous loan
defaulters.
