• A nonperforming asset (NPA) refers to a classification for loans or advances that are in default or in

arrears continuously for a period of 90 days. A loan is in arrears when principal or interest payments
are late or missed. A loan is in default when the lender considers the loan agreement to be broken
and the debtor is unable to meet his obligations. Classification of NPA: • Standard Asset: It is a kind
of performing asset which creates continuous income and repayments as and when they become
due. These assets carry a normal risk and are not NPA in the real sense of the word. • Sub-Standard
Asset: Loans and advances which are non-performing assets for a period of 12 months, fall under the
category of Sub-Standard Assets. • Doubtful Asset: The Assets considered as non-performing for a
period of more than 12 months are known as Doubtful Assets. • Loss Asset: All those assets which
cannot be recovered by the lending institutions are known as Loss Assets. Those topic based mcq
