Some of the other reasons !ere:
After t"e nationali(ation of banks sector wise allocation of credit disb#rsements
became comp#lsory&
Banks were compelled to give credit to even t"ose sectors) w"ic" were not
considered to be very profitable) keeping in mind t"e federal policy&

t"ey were confident t"at t"e loans wit" t"e interest wo#ld be written off by t"e
s#ccessive governments&
T"e small scale ind#stries also availed credit even t"o#g" t"ey were not s#re of

calls of timings&
>ven if t"e assets were provided t"ey proved to be s#bstandard assets as t"e
val#es t"at co#ld be reali(ed were very low&
:ree distrib#tion done d#ring loan mails <congress regime= also contrib#ted to
t"e "eavy increase in NPA-s&
T"e slackness in effort by t"e bank a#t"orities to collect or recover loan advances

In +55052 I*I*I Bank Ltd Net NPA is more b#t its declining slowly and came to

Ind#sind Bank Ltd Net NPA almost same for +55052 to +55253 and declines to
