ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to correlate and quantify the impact of non-performing assets over

profitability of Indian scheduled banks. Secondary data was acquired in order to perform

regression analysis from the period 2004-05 to 2014-15, for finding out the result it was

necessary to assess the variables that projects the profitability of banks they are – Net Interest

Margin, Return on Assets and Return on Equity which were dependent and independent variables

were Net NPA to Net advances ratio & Gross NPA to Gross advances ratio. From this study it

was found that NPA has an adverse effect on profitability of banks as the ratios of independent

variables sores it decreases the ratios of dependent variable.

Keywords: Return on Assets, Asset Quality, Non-performing assets, Banks, Return on Equity, India,

INTRODUCTION

Banking and financial sector plays a vital role in the economic development of an economy. This

sector got high priority in the globalization era and due to the global slowdown Indian banking

sector is facing hurdles. For this study we took scheduled banks as they form a major part of

Indian banking sector, a flow is presented below to provide an overview of bifurcation of Indian

banking system.

The major concern of banks is Non-Performing assets. Bank’s profitability and earning capacity

is highly affecting because of this NPAs. In 2002 Parliament passed the Securitization and

Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act which is meant for

reduction and elimination of NPAs in banks. But this act

EMPIRICAL RESEARCH PAPER | BML MUNJAL UNIVERSITY | MBA 2015-17 7


doesn’t ensure the full recovery of outstanding dues. Still India is working bankruptcy law to

tackle this issue as these NPAs are major concern for the economic growth of any bank and this

affects the smooth of credit, which is the prime duty of a bank.

NPA has transpired over two decades as an alarm threat to the Indian banking and finance sector

giving painful and stressful signals on the endurability and sustainability of the affected banks.

Earlier focus of banks were majorly on branch networking and extending credit facility, later on

focus diverted to effective risk management and asset quality improvisation. Narasimham

committee-I concluded that profitability of Indian commercial banks were reduced due to

priority sector lending which is finally leaded to NPAs. Narasimham committee-II highlighted

the importance and need of ‘Zero NPAs’ for all banks in India with international presence.

Non-Performing Assets:
Non- Performing asset is an asset which is due by borrower for a period of 180 days i.e. 6

months in the form of principal and interest. But with effect from March 2004, the default status

would be awarded if borrower’s due is for 90 days i.e. 3 months. Therefore NPA will not yield

any income to a bank.

Accordingly, as from 31 March, 2001 NPA shall be an advance where-


st

 Term-loan which is due for more than 180 days whether is interest or principal

installment or both

 An account in respect of cash credit/ overdraft remains out of order for more than 180

days

 In case of bill discount and purchase, if it remains due for more than 180 days

 Advance granted in case of agricultural purpose, if principal or interest or both remained

due for two harvest seasons of a period not exceeding two and half years

EMPIRICAL RESEARCH PAPER | BML MUNJAL UNIVERSITY | MBA 2015-17 8


 In respect of any other accounts, amount due for more than 180 days

NPAs are classified into two categories:

Gross NPA:
According to the guidelines of RBI, gross NPA is the sum of all loan assets consists of

sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets (which are non-standard assets) as on balance sheet

date. The quality of loans will reflected by gross NPA. The ration for Gross NPA ratio is

calculated as follows:

Gross NPA = Gross NPAs / Gross Advances

Net NPA:
Net NPAs are those NPAs where banks deducts provisions. These are the actual burden

to the banks. Net NPAs are calculated as follows:

Net NPAs= Gross NPAs – Provisions- Provisions/Gross Advances

Causes for NPA:


 Internal Factors:

 Business development failure such as weak marketing about particular products or

services

 Weak or inefficient or careless management

 Product obsolescence

 ·Indiscrete technology

 ·Diversification, new projects undertaking, expansion of business

 · Lack of fraud risk management

EMPIRICAL RESEARCH PAPER | BML MUNJAL UNIVERSITY | MBA 2015-17 9


 · Slackness in monitoring and credit management

 External Factors:

 Compulsory sector wise allocation of credit disbursements after nationalization of

banks

 Impelled credit to not very profitable sectors as per Federal policy

 Belief of agricultural sector that successive governments will written off the loans

 Keeping substandard assets as the value which has low realization value

 Insufficient securities to cover loans in calls of timings

 Credit to small scale industries who were not sure of their performance for the extent

of returning the loan

 No or not up to the mark efforts by banks in collection of loans and advances

 Loans and advances to those parties are not capable to payback and have political

support

 Due to lack of vision during sanction of credit limits

 Providing hasty advances and loans to achieve targets

 Changes in economic policies

 Inadequate legal provisions on bankruptcy and foreclosure and lack of proper

corporate culture and corporate governance

 Weak credit appraisal system

LITERATUE REVIEW

Charan Singh’s research papers “Stressed assets and banking in India” states that there is a

substantial increase in stressed assets in public sector banks. Global factors, defencies in

governance, political interferences and ethical issues like mal-intentions, misconduct by

borrowers are the factors which had led to deterioration in assets quality of banks. (Singh &

Brar, Stressed Assets and Banking in India, 2016). Ashis Satpathy, Samir Ranjan Behera,

Sabat Kumar Digal’s research paper “Macroeconomic factors affecting the NPAs in the

Indian Banking System: An Empirical Assessment” states that Fiscal deficit, growth in GDP

of India and an increase in balance of trade reduces NPAs and inflation increases the NPAs

level. (Satpathy, Behera, & Digal, 2015). Kranti Walia, Prabhjot Kaur’s research paper

“Performance evaluation of the Indian banking sector: A study of selected Commercial

banks” states that factors which affect profitability are deposits, advances, operating

expenditure, spread etc. These factors collectively explain 94.5% variance in the net profit as

a percentage of total assets of the banks. (Walia & Kaur, 2015). Research paper “NPA in

Indian banking sector: Impact on Profitability” states that

 Extent of NPAs in public sector banks is high.

 Increase in advances over the period but decline in ratio of NPAs indicates asset

quality improvement.

 The prudential norms and other schemes has rushed banks to improve their

performance. (A., 2012)

Dr. Madan Lal Bhasin’s research paper “An Empirical study of Frauds in the banks” states that

poor employment practices and lack of effective training, overburdened staff, weak internal

EMPIRICAL RESEARCH PAPER | BML MUNJAL UNIVERSITY | MBA 2015-17 11


control systems and low compliance levels on the part of Bank managers, offices and clerks.

(Bhasin & Lal, 2015). Charan Singh, RBI chair professor. Deepanshu Pattanayak, Divyesh

Satishkumar Dixit, Kiran Antiny, Mohit Agarawala, Ravit Kant’s research paper “Frauds in the

Indian Banking Industry” states that

 In terms of number of frauds, public banks are better than private banks.

 Credit related frauds have maximum impact in all banking frauds in India.

 The root cause identified is lack of specialized financial sleuths with knowledge of

nuances of forensic accounting. (Singh, et al., 2016)

Rosalind Wright's research paper "Developing effective tools to manage the risk of damage

caused by economically motivated crime fraud" states that business does not accord sufficient

recognition to the risks posed by ECM and accordingly fails to manage those risks. Models for a

Fraud Policy and a Fraud Policy Statement are set out and a higher priority for fraud on the

Government agenda for policing is advocated. (Wright, 2007). Nishant Agarwal and Meghna

Sharma's research paper "Fraud Risk Prediction in Merchant-Bank. Relationship using

Regression Modeling” states that the PF model is expected to act as a tool for acquiring banks in

both analyzing as well as strategizing for credit risk arising from the merchant side. (Agarwal &

Sharma, 2013)

Objectives of the study:

i. To analyze the impact of non-performing assets on the profitability of banks.

ii. To evaluate the impact of non-performing assets on profitability with other variables

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Our study was based data collected from secondary sources i.e. annual publications from the

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) website. The study g-has been made from the financial year 2004-

05 to 2014-15. The methodology used form the analysis is Regression analysis to find out the

impact on profitability of the scheduled commercial banks in India because of NPAs. Different

variables such as Return on Equity, Return on Assets and Net interest margin are considered to

measure the profitability of the scheduled commercial banks. Net NPA to Net Advances ratio

and Gross NPA to Gross Advances ratio are used to measure the NPAs. In this study of

regression model, the dependent variable is profitability while the independent variable is

measures of NPA. The hypothesis which were tested and formulated during the present study are

as follows:

square is .387 which indicates that the ratio of Net NPA to Net Advances infers that the 38.7% of

the total variance in the value of return on assets. The other factors contribute to the remaining

61.3%. Thus from this we can infer that non- performing asset has a significant effect on Indian

scheduled banks. The negative sign of coefficient in the regression analysis states that there is a

negative relationship between Net NPA to Net Advances to Return on Assets. Thus it can be

concluded that NPA and profitability have an inverse relationship and if the amount of NPAs

increases then it would have reverse effect on profitability of Indian commercial banks.

Table 2 shows the results of regression analysis where Gross NPA to Gross Advances Ratio is

the independent variable and return on assets is the dependent variable. The f value found to be

3.318 which is significant when compared to 5 % level of significance. Thus from this it can be

inferred that there is significant relationship between Gross NPA to Gross Advances Ratio to

Return on Assets. From this we can infer that a significant regression analysis model has been

emerged. The value of R square is .269 which indicates that the ratio of Net NPA to Net

Advances infers that the 26.9% of the total variance in the value of return on assets. The other

factors contribute to the remaining 73.1%. Thus from this we can infer that non- performing

asset has a significant effect on Indian scheduled banks. The negative sign of coefficient in the

regression analysis states that there is a negative relationship between Gross NPA to Gross

Advances to Return on Assets. Thus it can be concluded that NPA and profitability have an

inverse relationship and if the amount of NPAs increases then it would have reverse effect on

profitability of Indian commercial banks.

be inferred that there is no significant relationship between Gross NPA to Gross Advances Ratio

to Return on Equity. From this we can infer that a significant regression analysis model has been

emerged. The value of R square is .165 which indicates that the ratio of Gross NPA to Gross

Advances infers that the 16.5% of the total variance in the value of return on equity. The other

factors contribute to the remaining 83.5%. Thus from this we can infer that non- performing

asset has a no significant effect on Indian scheduled banks. The negative sign of coefficient in

the regression analysis states that there is a negative relationship between Gross NPA to Gross

Advances to Return on Equity. Thus it can be concluded that return on equity has a negative but

insignificant relationship with the gross NPA to Gross Advances Ratio.

can be inferred that there is a significant relationship between Net NPA to Net advances ratio and

Return on Equity. Thus it can be inferred that significant model has been emerged from the

regression analysis. The value of R square from the analysis is .492 which indicates that the

49.2% of total variance in the value of Return on equity with respect to Net NPA to Net

advances. 50.8% of the total variance in the value of return of equity contributes from the

remaining factors. Thus from this it can be inferred that NPAs has an impact on the profitability

of Indian scheduled banks. The negative sign of regression coefficient indicates that there is a

negative relationship between Net NPA to Net advances ratio and return on equity. Thus from

EMPIRICAL RESEARCH PAPER | BML MUNJAL UNIVERSITY | MBA 2015-17 20


this we can infer that Net NPA and profitability have an inverse relationship and impact will be

more adverse on profitability of Indian commercial banks with the increase in NPAs.

EMPIRICAL RESEARCH PAPER | BML MUNJAL UNIVERSITY | MBA 2015-17 22


CONCLUSION

From the study we can conclude that NPA have an adverse effect or impact on the profitability

of the Indian Scheduled banks. The main variable that were used to assess profitability were

return on equity & return on assets which were negatively and significantly related to the ratio of

Net NPA and Net Advances, whereas the relation between NIM and Net NPA to Net Advances

ratio is found to be insignificant but negatively related to each other. In same way, ROA is

negatively related to ratio of Gross NPA & Gross Advances Ratio. Thus in a nutshell it could be

concluded that there is a negative relation between the NPA and the profitability of Banks, so if

the NPAs increases the profitability of banks decreases and vice-versa. It has also been found

form the data and trends that the NPAs of the banks have increased during course of years and

the banks have witnessed the sharp rise in NPAs after 2009 global economic crisis.

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Loan recovery methods should be improved and strengthened

2. Regular interval checks need to made and follow up with the customers should be in proper

time and regular intervals

3. Monitoring systems and credit appraisals system should be revised by RBI

4. Close monitoring should be done for those who had disbursal of credit

5. Proper and regular monitoring should be made regarding operations

6. Involving low level management in the decision making process will make working of

banking system more effectively

7. Proper training need to be provided to the employees of the bank for the recovery of the

dues

8. Suggesting borrowers and becoming their personal portfolio manager will develop a good

relationship with the customers and as well as banks will be able to track the flow of

funds of an individual

9. RBI should disclose the details of fraudsters and the penalty being imposed on them, which
may cause alarm in banking system and as well in the society.

LIMITATION OF STUDY

The limitation of the study is that it only measures the impact, correlation or relation between

NPA and profitability of the Scheduled banks but it misses out the impact of NPA on NBFCs

which also holds a good share In Indian financial economy. As per this study it provides result

on the basis of ten years data (2004-05 to 2014-15) and there is a possibility that it could provide

different result in future after considering future financial scenarios. This study took few ratios to

reach up to conclusion, which could not be enough as there could be more qualitative factors

which might affects the profitably of banks.
