E5ecutive Summary
'he accu-ulation o) huge non?(er)or-ing assets in ban,s has assu-ed great i-(ortance. 'he de(th o) the (roble- o) bad debts *as )irst reali1ed only in early 1<<>s. 'he -agnitude o) NPAs in ban,s and )inancial institutions is over 7s.1,4>,>>> crores. !hile gross NPA re)lects the 0uality o) the loans -ade by ban,s, net NPA sho*s the actual burden o) ban,s. No* it is increasingly evident that the -ajor de)aulters are the big borro*ers co-ing )ro- the non?(riority sector. 'he ban,s and )inancial institutions have to ta,e the initiative to reduce NPAs in a ti-e bound strategic a((roach. Public sector ban,s )igure (ro-inently in the debate not only because they do-inate the ban,ing industries, but also since they have -uch larger NPAs co-(ared *ith the (rivate sector ban,s. 'his raises a concern in the industry and acade-ia because it is generally )elt that NPAs reduce the (ro)itability o) a ban,s, *ea,en its )inancial health and erode its solvency. =or the recovery o) NPAs a broad )ra-e*or, has evolved )or the -anage-ent o) NPAs under *hich several o(tions are (rovided )or debt recovery and restructuring.
