CHAPTER 1 AN INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY 1.1 introduction Banking in its crude form is an old age phenomenon.

It was in existence even in ancient times. The origin of banking lies in the business of money changing in ancient days. On account of the multifarious activities of the modern bank, it plays an important role in the economy of a country financial requirements of modern economy are of a diverse nature, distinctive variety and large magnitude. Thus various types of banks have been instituted to cater to the varying needs of community. Since banks constitute the very life blood of modern trade commerce and industry their management and success become unavoidable .Here comes the importance of management of nonperforming assets or shortly known as NPA.NPAs are the assets which cease to generate income. If their is any past due amounts remaining uncovered for the two quarters, consequently the amount would be classified as NPAs for the whole year .it includes borrowers default or delays in the Interest or principal repayments. Mountaining of NPAS were considered to be a sure omen of non profitability and mismanagement of funds and resources .Here a study was made on the non performing assets of STATE BANK OF INDIA, IRINJALAKUDA for the following categories such as Commercial And Institutional Loans, Small Industries And Business Loans, Agricultural Loan And Personal Loans.

1.2 ORGANISATIONAL PROFILE A)Industrial Profile Centuries ago, there was a time where animals and jewels are exchanged to purchase something of value. With advancement and evolution, barter system, gold system and now currency system took their place. All the developments led to a need for a place where money and valuables should be kept safe. Thus began the era of banking. BANKING IN ANCIENT TIMES The evolution of banking can be traced back to the early times of human history. It was in existence in one form or other in ancient times. In olden times, people deposited their money and valuables at temples because these places of worship were considered as the safest place to keep theses valuables. Probably it was the earliest form of banking In ancient Greece, the famous temples such as Ephesus, Delphi and Olympia were used as the depositories of surplus funds of people in 2000 BC. A prehistoric Hindu scripture provides enough evidence of the existence of money lending business in India. It was in existence in Vedic period. The practice of storing precious metals and coins at safe places and loaning of money to the people was also prevalent in ancient Rome. BANKING IN MEDIEVAL TIMES According to Crowther, modern banking has three ancestors namely a) b) c) Merchant bankers Goldsmith Money lenders

The goldsmiths were gradually replaced by private bankers. Bank of Venice was started in Italy. It is said to be the oldest banking institution in the world, but the famous was Medici bank established by Giovanni Medici in 1397. The Bank of Barcelona was on track on 1401 and the bank of Genoa in 1407. The Bank of Amsterdam was launched in 1609. The Lombards who migrated to Europe and England from Italy was responsible for the modern banking in the world. Banking innovations took place in Amsterdam in 16th and London in 17th century. The growth of joint stock commercial banking was started after the enactment of Banking Act which was passed in England in 1833. EVOLUTION OF BANKING IN INDIA There was sufficient evidence to believe that the money lending business was prevalent in India. The writings of Manu and Kautilya contained the reference of banking. In India, however the modern banking started hence the English agency houses in Calcutta and Mumbai began to serve as bankers to the East India Company and the Hindustan Bank was the first banking institution of its kind to be established in 1779. From the time till today, the evolution of banking system can be divided into three distinct phases. They are:Phase 1 Early phase of Indian banks from 1786 to 1969. Phase 2 Nationalization of Indian banks till 1991. Phase 3 Post 1991, after the introduction of the Indian financial and banking sector reforms.

Phase 1 In 1796, the General Bank of India was established followed by the bank of Hindustan and Bengal bank. The Bank of Bengal (1809), the Bank of Bombay (1840), and the Bank of Madras (1843) was set up by East India Company as independent units and named as Presidency Banks. These three banks were merged to form the Imperial Bank of India in 1920 which started as a private bank with foreign share holders. The Allahabad Bank was set up in 1865 and then in 1894, for the first time, the Punjab National Bank, was exclusively set up with Indian shareholders with its headquarters based at Lahore. Thereafter between 1906 and 1913, banks like the Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Central Bank of India, Canara bank and Indian bank came into existence. In 1935 RBI was established. Growth during the initial phase was quite slow and many banks witnessed failures between the period of 1913 and 1948. Altogether there were about 1100 banks, but mostly small in size. The government of India introduces Banking Companies Act, 1949, to streamline the activities and functions of commercial banking. This act was later changed to the Banking Regulation Act 1949 as per the amendment of the act of 1965(Act no. 23 of 1965). During the initial year public confidence in the banks was low, and thus the deposits. Professionalism was absent. PHASE 2 After Independence, the government of India undertook several important steps to reform the Indian Banking sector. Among that is the setting up of SBI by the nationalization of Imperial Bank of India in 1955.

Following are the milestones during phase 2 1949: Enactment of Banking Regulation Act 1955: Nationalization of SBI 1959: Nationalization of the subsidiaries of SBI 1961: Extension of insurance cover to deposit 1969: Nationalization of 14 important banks 1971: Creation of credit guarantee corporation 1975: Creation of rural banks in various regions 1980: Nationalization of 7 banks with deposit of more than 200 crores

After nationalization of banks, the deposits in various branches of the public sector banks, increased by almost 800 percent and advances jumped by approximately 11000 percent. PHASE 3 With LPG (Liberalization, privatization and globalization) all Indian economy got a new falls. As per Rangarajan Committee in 1988, the computerization began from 1993 with the settlement between IBA and Bank Employees Association. In 1994, Committee on Technology issues relating to payments system, cheque clearing and security settlement in the Banking Industry (1994) was setup. It emphasized on Electrical Fund Transfer (EFT) system, with the BANK NET communications network as it carrier. The Banks have been selling the third party products like Mutual Funds, insurance to its clients. Total number of ATMs installed in India by various banks as on end March 2005 is 17642. New and new private sector banks emerged and they were also allowed by RBI to enter into insurance (ICICI Prudential) b) Organizational profile State bank of India is Indias largest commercial bank with its presence covering all time zones in the world. The bank has a history of almost two centuaries.SBI was established on 1 st July,

1955 by acquiring the total assets and liabilities of the imperial bank of India by an act of parliament. Nearly a quarter of banking business in the country is with SBI. It include a network of eight banking subsidiaries and several non banking subsidiaries offering merchant banking services ,primary dealer ship in government securities credit card and insurance .originally the SBI was established with an authorized share capital of Rs20 cr. and an issued share capital of Rs. 5625 cr. which was allotted to RBI. In order to enhance the capital adequacy ratio the authorized capital of the SBI was raised from Rs. 20 crores to Rs. 299 crores in 1985. Its subscribed and paid up capital was Rs. 50 crores while those of the associate banks were raised to Rs. 10 crores each. Again an ordinance was issued in 1993 leading to an amendment of the SBI Act 1995 to enable the bank entered into capital market successfully. MERITS SBI is THE 29TH MOST REPUTED COMPANY in the world according to the Forbes. BEST DOMESTIC PROVIDER OF FOREIGN SERVICES as Per Asia Money Polls in 2012. SBI is the only bank featured in the TOP 10 BRANDS OF INDIA list in an annual survey conducted by Brand Finance and The Economic Times in 2010. SBI had won BEST BANK award by Business India magazine 3 times. BANK OF THE YEAR 08 of India by banker magazine London The State Bank of India is the largest of the big four banks in India, along with ICICI Bank, Punjab National Bank and HDFC Bank- its main competitors. BRANCHES OF SBI State Bank of India has 172 foreign offices in 37 countries across the globe. SBI has about 25000 ATMs (25000th ATM was inaugurated by the then chairman of State

Bank Shri. O.P.Bhatt on 31 March 2011, the day of his retirement): and SBI group (including associate banks) has about 450000 ATMs. SBI has 21500 branches, including branches that belong to its associate banks.

Indias number one ADB is in Bellary i.e. State Bank of India, Bellary. SYMBOL AND SLOGAN The symbol of the State Bank of India is a circle and a small man at the centre of the circle (and not a key hole). A circle depicts perfection and the common man being the centre of the banks business. Slogans Pure banking nothing else and includes with you- all this way and a bank of common man. 1.3. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM NPAs are an inevitable burden on the banking industry. The success of a bank depends upon the methods of managing NPAs and keeping them within the tolerance level. Several studies have been conducted to examine the issues relating to NPAs which include a study by RBI IN 1999, PANIR SELVAM COMMITTEE in 1998 and many more. Even in early 90s, in NARASIMHAM COMMITTEE AND in CHAKRABORTHY COMMITTEE NPAs were mentioned. Thus a study has been carried out regarding the management of NPAs in STATE BANK OF INDIA, IRINJALAKUDA to check out the impact of NPA on profitability of bank 22years after RBI mentioning it and various measures taken by all banks to curb the same. Disbursement of funds, their returns and management has been identified and analyzed in the research and possible solutions have been suggested for solving the problem. 1.4. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY The general objectives of the analysis of NPAs in State Bank of India, Irinjalakuda were To analyze the relationship between NPA and profitability of the bank
Page 7

To understand the amount of NPAs in State Bank of India and study the main reason for

asset becoming NPAs. To make suggestions to overcome the problem of Non- performing assets.

1.5. RESEARCH METHADOLOGY The data which was collected include primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through direct interviews with manager and employees. Secondary data were collected from reports, broachers, circulars and notices. Data analysis: data were collected from various sources have been analyzed and studied using tools such as Percentages Correlation

CHAPTER-2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE The previous part dealt with the introductory parts of the project. It has been covered with the necessary background information of the report, its aims, scope, limitations, methodology and profiles that are relevant to the topic of study. The review of literature of the study is a structure that can hold or support a theory of research work. Studies relevant to the topic of research are reviewed and the concept of each work is summarized by it. Review of literature can be classified into 2 parts, Empirical literature deals with the careful analysis of the past studies available. Conceptual literature tries to demonstrate an understanding of theories, concepts and that will relate to the border fields of knowledge in the selected category. 2.1 EMPIRICAL LITERATURE M.n.Shindae and G.S.Zulzule1 in their study Profitability and NPAs of Urban Cooperative Banks in Western Maharashtra has taken two hypotheses where a second hypothesis is the NPAs of urban cooperative banks is higher in Parbhani, Hingoli district than Sangli, Satara district. They had taken data for 11 years and comparative analysis of NPAs were done, found out proportion of gross NPA to net NPA and totaled and averaged the same. The hypotheses proved to be null and void, so not accepted. And they concluded that all the banks show declining trend of Gross NPA as well as Net NPOAs which is a good sign for banks

P.S Vohra and Jai Prakash Dharmu2 (2012) in their study NPA management- Always a critical issue for banking industry stresses that whatever measures have been taken as per various committee reports, importance of NPA management is increasing day by day. M. Razamullah Khan and Haisai Khairul Makeen3 (2012) concluded in his article titled Non- performing assets: Co-operative Bank in Jalna that non performing assets were decreased due to various measures taken by the bank in national and local level. Anupam Jain and Vinita Swati4 (2012) in their article reported that, sector wise scenario of NPAs pointed towards NPAs arising from SSI sector is comparatively higher than other sectors that fall even within the priority sector. NPAs statistics in 2008 for agriculture sector was 13.8% and for SSI was 18.7%.during 2010 NPAs for agriculture and SSI sector was 14.4% and 17.6% respectively. In her article about Impact of NPAs on Profitability of banks, Renu Jatana 5(2009) pointed out that Factors responsible for NPAs include poor credit appraisal, lack of proper monitoring reckless advances, lack of corporate culture, changes in economic policy or economic environment. her methodology was particularly useful, in that it focuses attention on vivid problems which would lead to increase of NPAs in banks. She noted no transparent accounting policy and poor auditing practices were also causes for NPAs. Thus no one can stress only in one or two problems as causes for NPAs since numerous were there. Sunita Mehta and hanuman Prasad6 (2008) in their study banking reforms: progress and emerging issues viewed NPA as an emerging issue and they quoted NPA under prudential regulations to ensure financial safety, soundness and solvency of the bank and banks of India, after reforms were aimed to reduce gross NPA to 3% and Net NPA to 0 percent, same as per international standards.
[Type text] Page 11

A. Prasad and ch.Panduranga Reddy7 in their study namely Challenges in Indian Banking Sector concludes that in future NPAs will become the major cause of banks concern. Imbibing the credit management skills will become all the important for improving the bottom line of banking sector .skills of NPA management which include working out negotiated settlements, compromises constituting active settlement advisory committees, restructuring and rehabilitation effective resources to suitable legal remedies etc. are to be supplemented by the banks to recover due well in time so that the financial soundness of the banking sector will be undermined. A Study by Basu U.K8 (2005) on Banking in India: Interest rate, NPA and Financial Fragility, discuss how interest rate changes affect NPAs and in turn contribute to Financial Fragility. The study defines NPAs as Assets on which payment of the principal or interest or both is overdue for a period of 90 days or more. Thus NPAs are impaired assets and their accumulation may spell doom for banking. The study concludes by saying changes in interest rate will increase the chance for an asset becoming NPA and the relation between NPA and interest rate is directly proportional. Rajiv Ranjan and Sarath Chandra Dal 9(2003) in their study Non performing Loans and Terms of credit of PSB in India evaluate how banks non performing loans are influenced by three major sets of economic and financial factors terms of credit, bank size induced risk preferences and macro economic shocks. Their panel regression model suggest that the terms of credit variable have significant effect on banks non performing loans in the presence of bank size included risk preferences and macro economic shocks. Alternative measures of bank size could give rise to differential impact on banks non performing loans. They suggest that in regard to terms of credit variables, changes in cost of credit in terms of expectations of higher interest rate induce rise in NPAs on the other hand, horizon of maturity of credit, better credit culture, favorable macro economic and business condition lead to lowering of NPAs.

K.M. Bhattacharya10(2002) in his article management of non performing advances in banks has written; NPAs are serious strain on the profitability of the banks on one hand on the other hand they are required to charge the funding cost and provision requirements to their profits. The problem of NPA is multi dimensional and must bring to the international standards of 2 to 3% of total loan assets. He suggested employment of sound credit granting system, monitoring assets continuously, reliable MIS, proper control mechanism and feed back analysis to reduce NPAs. 2.2 CONCEPTUAL LITERATURE

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS MEANING An asset is classified as Non-performing Asset (NPA) if due in the form of principle and interest are not paid by the borrower for a period of 180 days. However, with effect from March 2004, default status would be given to a borrower if dues are not paid for 90 days. If any advance or credit facilities granted by banks to a performer become non-performing, then the bank will have to treat all the advances/credit facilities granted to that borrower as non-performing without having regard to the fact that there may still exist certain advances / credit facilities having performing status. Though the term NPA connotes a financial asset of a co-operative bank, which has stopped earning an expected reasonable return, it is also a reflection of the productivity of the unit, firm, concern, industry and nation where that asset is idling. Viewed with this perspective, the NPA is a result of an environment that prevents it from performing up to expected levels.

Page 13

The definition of NPAs in Indian context is certainly more liberal with two quarters norm being applied for classification of such assets. The RBI is moving over to one-quarter norm from 2004 onwards. DEFINITION A NPA was defined as credit in respect of which interest and/or installment of principal has remained past due for a specific period of time. The specific period was reduced in a phased manner as under: Year ended March,31 1993 1994 1995 2004 Specific period 4 Quarters 3 Quarters 2 quarters 1 quarters

An amount is considered as past due, when it remains outstanding for 30 days beyond the due date. However, with effect from March 31, 2001 the past due concept has been dispensed with and the period is reckoned from the due date of payment.

NORMS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF NPA With an intense to use the international best practice and to ensure greater transparency, 90 days overdue norms are accepted for the identification of NPA from the year ended March 31, 2004. With effect from March 31, 2004, a NPA shall be counted on loan and advances where:
[Type text] Page 14

A.

Interest and/or installment of principal remain overdue for a period of more than 90 days in

respect of a term loan. B. The amount remains out of order for a period of 90 days, in respect of an Overdraft/Cash

Credit (OD/CC). C. The bill remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days in the case of bills purchased

and discounted. Any amount to be received remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days in respect of any other accounts. Gold loans and small loans up to Rs. 1 lakh are exempted from the 90 days norms for the recognition of impairment. These loans would continue to be governed by the 180 days norm for classification as NPA as per prescribed norms. CONCEPTS OF NON-PERFORMING ASSETS Non-performing assets is a part of banking throughout the world. It is not peculiar to public sector banks in and financial institutions in India. Incidence of NPA is higher in public sector banks in comparison to private sector banks and foreign banks in India. Tae concept of classification of bank advances in several categories started in the later 1980s but at that time, the terminology of NPAS does not exist. It was introduced in the early 190s when Anglo American model had served block of categorization of bank assets. Prior to the introduction of asset classification, banks in India had their own system of accounting, but this way wasnt in conformity with international standards. Banks are now required recognize such loans periodically and then classify the assets. There are certain advantages and disadvantages of NPAs. they are

ADVANTAGES
a. A loan which is non-performing can be directly written off against any profits to claim tax reliefs.
[Type text] Page 15

b. It can be good on a later date but will be coming under the category of windfall recoveries do not attract any taxes as they are classified as burden rather than actually an asset.

DISADVANTAGES a. Once an investment is non- performing it directly affects the profit of the organization. b. It can encourage willful defaulters to exploit the conditions for their personnel gains. CAUSES FOR NON PERFORMING ASSETS A strong banking sector is important for a flourishing economy. Indian banking system, which was operating in a closed economy, now faces the challenges of open economy. On one hand a protected environment ensured that banks never needed to develop sophisticated treasury operations and Asset Management Skills On the other hand, a combination of directed lending and social banking related profitability and competitiveness to the background. The net result was a unsustainable NPAs and consequently higher effective cost of banking services. One of the main causes of NPAs into banking sector is the directed loan system under which commercial banks are required to lend a prescribed percentage of their credit (40) to priority sectors. As of today nearly 7 percent of Gross NPAs are locked up in hard core doubtful and loss assets, accumulated over the years. The problem India faces is not lack of strict prudential norms but I. II. III. The legal impediments and time consuming nature of asset disposal system Postponement of problem in order to show higher earnings Manipulation of debtors using political influences.

Macro perspective behind NPAs A lot of practical problem has been found in Indian banks, especially in public sector. For example the government of India had given a massive wavier of Rs 15000 Crs under Prime Minister Ship of V.P.Singh, for rural debt during 1989-90.this was not a unique incident in India and left a negative impression on the payer of the loan. Huge amount of loans were granted under various schemes which became non recoverable due to political manipulation, misuse of funds and non reliability of target audience of these section. Loans given by banks are their assets and as the repayments of several of loans were poor, the quality of these assets was steadily deteriorating. Causes of NPA could be classified into two categories Internal factors External factors

Internal factors Internal factors are related to organizational deficiencies and administrative ineffectiveness. It includes; 1. Funds borrowed for particular purposes but not used for said purposes. 2. Project not completed in time. 3. Poor recovery for receivables. 4. Excess capacities created on non economic costs. 5. In-ability of the corporate to raise capital through the issue of equity or other debt instruments from capital markets. 6. Business failures. 7. Diversion of funds for expansion/modernization/setting up new projects/helping or promoting sister concerns.

8. Willful defaults, siphoning of funds, frauds, disputes, management of disputes, mis appropriation etc. 9. Deficiencies on the part of banks viz. In credit appraisal, monitoring and follow ups, delay in settlement of payments/subsidiaries n government bodies etc. External factors External factors are those on which banks have no operational control or administrative control.eg; 1. Natural calamities 2. Political and government interferences 3. Cropping pattern-micro level planning and macro level 4. Costs of inputs and prices of farm products

ASSET CLASSIFICATION
While all performing assets are classified as standard assets, non performing assets are classified as sub standard, doubtful or loss assets. Assets are classified as sub standard asset depending on the period for which they have remained as NPA.As asset may be treated as loss asset even if it has not been considered as sub standard or doubtful earlier we have the following assets
Standard assets Sub-standard assets Doubtful assets Loss assets

Standard assets A standard asset is one in which there is no problem in respect to its repayment of principal or interest or there may not default in payment of such. It odes not disclose any problem and it does not carry more than the normal risk attached to the business. These are not a non performing asset Sub standard asset Sub standard assets are those which are classified as non performing asset for a period not exceeding two year, the current net worth of the borrower /guarantor, the current market value of the security charged to the bank is not enough to ensure recovery of the debt due to the bank is full. With effect from March 31 2005 an asset would be classified as sub-standard if it remained NPA for a period less than or equal to 12 months. In such cases, the current net worth of the borrowers/guarantors or the current market value of the security changed is not enough to ensure recovery of the dues to the banks in full. In other words, such assets will have well defined credit weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the banks will some loss, if deficiencies are not corrected. An asset where the terms
[Type text] Page 20

of the loan agreement regarding interest and principal have been regonotiated or rescheduled after commencement of production should be classified as sub standard and should remain in such category for at least 12 months of satisfactory performance under renegotiated or rescheduled terms. In other words, the classification of an asset should not e upgraded merely as a result of rescheduling unless there is sati factory compliance of this condition. Doubtful asset A doubtful asset is a non performing asset which has continued to be so far a period exceeding two years ,in case of term loan if the installments of principal have remained over due for a period exceeding two years it should be treated as doubtful. The rescheduling does not entitled the bank to upgrade the quality of advances .A loan classified as doubtful has the weakness of a substandard asset plus the weakness which made. With effect from March 31 2005, an asset required to be classified as doubtful, if it has remained NPA for more than 12 months. As n case of sub standard asset, rescheduling does not entitle the bank to upgrade the quality of an advance automatically. Loss asset A loss asset is one where loss has been identified by the bank or internal or external auditors or by the co-operation department or by the reserve bank of India inspection but the amount has not been written off, wholly or partially. In other words such an asset is considered uncollectable and of such title value that its continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted although there may be some salvage or recovery value.

MANAGEMENT OF NPA
A non performing asset is defined as a credit facility in respect of which interest has remained past due for more than 180 days credit facility in respect of NPA is term loan interest, overdraft and cash credit account, bills purchased and discounted and other account receivables. Management of NPA involves three stages Regular monitoring of the performance of each loan asset and its periodic review. Easily identification of problem asset for the success of remedial action. Effective follow up for recovery The quantum of NPA s a percentage of total resources (Gross NPA) is one of the critical indicators of the bank loan portfolio and hence its performance is assigned the highest weight age in the rating system. For a proper assessment if it is necessary to distinguish between Gross NPA and Net NPA, Net NPA is derived from gross NPA after excluding balance in interest suspense account i.e. interest due but not received DIGC/ECGC claim received and kept in suspense account and provisions held. With the introduction of prudential norms and better governance cleaning up of bank a balance sheet has begun and an assessment of their financial health very close to reality could be undertaken on site inspections on the model of CAMELS (Capital adequacy, Asset quality, Management, Earnings, Liquidity and System) enables verification of the returns and assessment of the integrity of those responsible for it and detection of mistake in the working of the bank.

GENERAL METHODS OF MANAGEMENT OF NPAS The management of NPA is the difficult task in practice. Management of NPA means, how to settle the NPA account in the books .in simple it focus on the methods of settlement of NPA account. The methods were different from banks to banks. That information on settlement is given below. 1. Compromise The dictionary meaning of compromise is settlement of dispute reached by mutual concessions. The following are the detailed guidelines for compromise/ negotiated settlement of NPAs The compromise should be negotiated settlement under which the bank should ensure recovery of its dues to the maximum extent possible of minimum expenses. Proper distinction should be made between willful defaulters and borrowers defaulting in repayments due to circumstances beyond their control. Where security is available for assessing the realizable value, the proper weight age should be given to the location, condition and marketable title and possession of sub security. An advantage in settlement cases is that banks can promptly recycle the funds instead of resorting to expensive recovery proceedings spread over a long period. All compromise reports approved by any functionary should be promptly reported to the next higher authority for post facto scrutiny Proposal for write off/compromise should be first looked by a committee of senior executives of the bank.
[Type text]

Special recovery cells should be set up at all regional levels.

Page 23

2. Legal remedies The legal remedies are one of the methods of management of NPAs .the banks observed that the borrower is making willful default; no more time should be lost instituting appropriate recovery proceedings. The legal remedies involve filing of civil suits. 3. Regular training program The all levels of executives are compelling to undergrowth the regular training program on credit management and NPA it is very useful and helpful to the executives for dealing the NPA properly. 4. Recovery camps The bank should conduct regular or periodical recovery camps in the bank premises or some other common places; such type of recovery camps reduces the level of NPA in the banks.

Chapter-3 Data Analysis and Interpretation-1

In the previous chapter, review of literature, both empirical and conceptual literature was explained. This chapter deals with data analysis and interpretation of data. Analysis of NPA in various segments is done in this chapter to understand deeply, the amount of NPA in each segment by using percentage analysis.
