installment of principal or interest thereon remains overdue for two crop
seasons. A crop season for each crop means the period upto harvesting of
the crops raised.
•
A loan granted for long duration crops will be treated as NPA if the
installment of principal or interest thereon remains overdue for one crop
season. ( Long duration crops = crop season longer than 1 year & short
duration crops means which are not long duration crops )

A bill purchased & discounted will be NPA if it remains overdue for a period
of more than 90 days from the date it is due.

OUT OF ORDER: 
An account should be treated as ‘out of order’ if the
outstanding balance remains continuously in excess of
sanctioned limit /drawing power. Even if the outstanding in
the account is within limit/DP, but there are no credits
continuously for 90 days or credits are not enough to cover
interest debited, the account should be treated as ‘out of
order’ .

NPA Identification – A Regular Exercise: 
NPA identification is an ongoing process. An
asset should be classified as NPA within a
month of its’ becoming NPA & provisions for
NPA should be done on quarterly basis rather
than at year end only.

CA Gokul B Rathi
Temporary Deficiencies:
Record of recovery should be seen before any a/c is treated
as NPA. However, solitary entry at the year end which brings
the account in order on year end but the a/c again
becomes irregular subsequently, such a/c should be
treated as NPA. An a/c should not be treated as NPA just
because of some temporary deficiencies which are rectified
subsequently.

An a/c should be classified as NPA when there is threat of
loss or recoverability of advance is in doubt.

Recovery in the a/c should be from genuine sources & not
because of grant of additional credit facilities to the
borrower.

CA Gokul B Rathi
Borrower wise & not Facility wise

When a loan a/c of a borrower is treated as NPA,
all the other loan a/cs of the borrower, even if they
are otherwise regular, should be treated as NPA as
NPA classification should be borrower wise & not
facility wise.

When various advance a/cs of a borrower are in
different categories of NPA, then the provisioning
shall be as per the lowest category applicable.
