Since the credit in the account is not sufficient to cover the interest debited during
the period account will be said as NPA.
4. Agricultural Advances: Advances granted for agriculture purposes becomes
NPA if interest and/or installment of principal remains overdue for two crop
seasons in case of short duration crops and 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. Crops having crop season of more than one
year i.e. upto the period of harvesting the crops raised will be termed as ‘long
duration” crops and other crops will be treated as “short duration” crops.
5. Securitisation transactions: Such transactions become NPA when the
amount of liquidity facility remains overdue for more than 90 days.
6. Derivative transactions: Such transactions become NPA when the overdue
receivables representing positive mark to market value of a derivative contract
remain unpaid for a period of 90 days from the specified due date for payment.
7. Government guaranteed advances: The credit facilities backed
by guarantee of the Central Government though overdue may be treated as NPA
only when the Government repudiates its guarantee when invoked. This exemption
from classification of Government guaranteed advances as NPA is not for the
purpose of recognition of income. The requirement of invocation of guarantee
has been delinked for deciding the asset classification and provisioning
requirements in respect of State Government guaranteed exposures. With effect
from the year ending 31 March 2006 State Government guaranteed advances and
investments in State Government guaranteed securities would attract asset
classification and provisioning norms if interest and/or principal or any other
amount due to the bank remains overdue for more than 90 days.
8. Advances to Staff: As in the case of project finance, in respect of housing
loans or similar advances granted to staff members where interest is payable after
recovery of principal, the overdue status (in respect of payment of interest) should
be reckoned from the date when there is default in payment of interest or
repayment of installment of principal on due date of payment.
9. Take-out Finance: In the case of take-out finance arrangement, the lending
bank should apply the prudential norms in the usual manner so long as the account
remains on its banks.
∗
Take-out finance is a product emerging in the context of the funding of long-term
infrastructure projects. Under this arrangement, the institution/bank financing the
infrastructure projects ('the lending institution') has an arrangement with a financial
institution ('the taking-over institution') for transferring to the latter the
outstanding in respect of such financing on a pre-determined basis. There are
several variants of take-out finance, but basically, they are either in the nature of
unconditional take-out finance or conditional take-out finance. In the latter case,
the taking-over institution stipulates certain conditions to be satisfied by the
borrower before it is taken over from the lending institution. Thus, in this variant of
take-over arrangements, there is an inherent element of uncertainty over the
ultimate transfer of the outstanding amount to the taking-over institution. For a
take-out finance arrangement to take effect, the borrower should also recognize
the arrangement by way of inter-creditor arrangement.
10. Advances Guaranteed by EXIM Bank: In the case of advances covered under
the guarantee-cum-refinance programme of EXIM Bank, to the extent payment has
been received by the bank from the EXIM Bank, the advance may not be treated
as NPA. The balance should, however, be treated as NPA (if the conditions for
treating it as NPA are satisfied).
11. Consortium Advances: Asset classification of accounts under consortium
should be based on the record of recovery of the individual member banks and
other aspects having a bearing on the recoverability of the advances. Where the
remittances by the borrower under consortium lending arrangements are pooled
with one bank and/or where the bank receiving remittances is not parting with the
share of other member banks, the account will be treated as not serviced in the
books of the other member banks and therefore, be treated as NPA. The
banks participating in the consortium should, therefore, arrange to get their share
of recovery transferred from the lead bank or get an express consent from the lead
bank for the transfer of their share of recovery, to ensure proper asset classification
in their respective books.
12. Advances Secured Against Certain Instruments: Advances secured against
term deposits, national savings certificates (NSCs) eligible for surrender, Indira
Vikas Patras, Kisan Vikas Patras and life insurance policies have been exempted
from the above guidelines. Thus, interest on such advances may be taken to income
account on due dates provided adequate margin is available in the respective
accounts. Advances against gold ornaments, government securities and all other
securities are not covered by this exemption.

Doubtful Assets Loss Assets
Assets
Performing Assets:
Standard Assets - Standard assets are those which do not disclose any problems
and which does not carry more than normal risk attached to the business.
Non-Performing Assets (NPA):
(i) Sub-standard Assets –A Sub-standard asset is one which has been classified
as an NPA for a period not exceeding 12 months.
In such cases, the current net worth of the borrower/guarantor or the current
market value of the security charged is not enough to ensure recovery of the
dues to the bank in full. In other words, such an asset will have well-defined
credit weaknesses that jeopardise the repayment of the debt and are
characterised by the possibility that the bank would sustain some loss, if
deficiencies are not corrected.
(ii) Doubtful Assets - An asset would be classified as doubtful if it has remained
in the substandard category for a period of at least12 months. A loan
classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in assets that were

4.3 PROVISIONS
Taking into account the time lag between an asset becoming substandard/doubtful
turning into loss asset, RBI has directed that bank should make provision against
all assets (i.e) Loans & advances as follows:
Rates of Provisioning for Non-Performing Assets ϒ
Standard Assets
(i) The bank requires to make a general provision for standard assets at the
following rates for the funded outstanding on global loan portfolio basis. The
general provision towards standard assets as per Master circular is as follows:
(1) direct advances to agricultural and Small and Micro Enterprises (SMEs)
sectors at 0.25 per cent;
(2) advances to Commercial Real Estate (CRE) Sector at 1.00 per cent;
ϒ
As per Master Circular DBOD.No.BP.BC.1/21.04.048/2014-15 dated July 1, 2014.

Doubtful Advances – Secured Portion
• For Doubtful upto 1 year 25
• For Doubtful > 1 year and upto 3 years 40
• For Doubtful > 3 years 100
Loss Advances 100
Accounting and Provisioning Norms for Equipment Leasing Activity: While the
accounting and provisioning norms discussed above shall also apply in respect of
equipment leasing activities. The bank should follow the Accounting Standard 19
on “Leases” in accounting for lease transactions.
Note: -
1. The provisions on standard assets should not be reckoned for arriving at net
NPAs.
2. The provisions towards Standard Assets need not be netted from gross advances
but shown separately as 'Contingent Provisions against Standard Assets' under
'Other Liabilities and Provisions’ in Schedule 5 of the balance sheet.
Note: Since no bank is likely to extend any loans or advances without adequate
security, it is prudent to assume in the questions that even in the case of
substandard or doubtful or loss assets, the same are secured unless the question
specifically mentions otherwise.

Solution
regulatory provisions for standard assets. The floating provisions can be used only
for contingencies under extraordinary circumstances for making specific provisions
in impaired accounts after obtaining board’s approval and with prior permission of
RBI. The boards of the banks should lay down an approved policy as to what
circumstances would be considered extraordinary.
Floating provisions cannot be reversed by credit to the profit and loss account.
They can only be utilised for making specific provisions in extraordinary
circumstances as mentioned above. Until such utilisation, these provisions can be
netted off from gross NPAs to arrive at disclosure of net NPAs. Alternatively, they
can be treated as part of Tier II capital within the overall ceiling of 1.25 % of total
risk weighted assets.
Disclosures: Banks should make comprehensive disclosures on floating provisions
in the “notes on accounts” to the balance sheet on (a) opening balance in the
floating provisions account, (b) the quantum of floating provisions made in the
accounting year, (c) purpose and amount of draw down made during the
accounting year, and (d) closing balance in the floating provisions account.
Write-off of NPAs: Banks may write-off advances at Head Office level, even though
the advances are still outstanding in the branch books. At the branch level,
provision requirement as per classification norms shall be made and in respect of
loss assets 100% provision shall be made. There can be partial write off relating to
the borrower's account in head office.

Available-for-Sale (AFS): Securities which do not fall within the above two
categories should be classified as ‘available-for-sale’.
The banks will have the freedom to decide on the extent of holdings under HFT and
AFS. This will be decided by them after considering various aspects such as basis
of intent, trading strategies, risk management capabilities, tax planning, manpower
skills or capital position. The investment classified under HFT would be those from
which the bank expects to make again by the movement in the interest
rates/market rates. These securities are to be sold within 90 days. Profit or loss on
sale of investments in both the categories will be taken to the Profit and Loss
Account.
allowed at the beginning of the accounting year. However, in order to enable banks
to shift their excess SLR securities from the HTM category to available for sale (AFS)/
held for trading (HFT) to comply with the instructions as indicated above, it has
been decided to allow such shifting of the excess securities during the quarter in
which the HTM ceiling is brought down. This would be in addition to the shifting
permitted at the beginning of the accounting year.
Sale of Securities held in Held to Maturity (HTM) Category: Accounting
treatment
Investments by Primary (Urban) Co-operative Banks (UCBs) if securities acquired by
banks with the intention to hold them up to maturity will be classified under HTM
category. As per Circular no. RBI/2018-19/205 DCBR.BPD. (PCB)
Cir.No.10/16.20.000/2018-19 dated 10th June, 2019, it is reiterated that UCBs are
not expected to resort to sale of securities held in HTM category. However, if due
to liquidity stress, UCBs are required to sell securities from HTM portfolio, they may
do so with the permission of their Board of Directors and rationale for such sale
may be clearly recorded.
Profit on sale of investments from HTM category shall first be taken to the Profit
and Loss account and, thereafter, the amount of such profit shall be appropriated
to ‘Capital Reserve’ from the net profit for the year after statutory appropriations.
Loss on sale shall be recognized in the Profit and Loss account in the year of sale.
In the case of transfer of securities from AFS to HFT category or vice-versa, the
securities need not be re-valued on the date of transfer and the provisions for the
accumulated depreciation, if any, held may be transferred to the provisions for
depreciation against the HFT securities and vice-versa.
above methodology would not be credited to individual scrip accounts but would
be held collectively in a separate account.
(c) Held-for-trading: The individual scrips in the ‘held-for-trading’ category
should be marked to market at monthly or at more frequent intervals and provided
for as in the case of those in the ‘Available for sale’ category.
Consequently, the book value of the individual securities in this category would
also not undergo any change after marking to market.
Prudential Norms for Classification, Valuation and Operation of Investment
Portfolio by Banks
As per Circular no. RBI/2018-19/204 DBR.No.BP.BC.46/21.04.141/2018-19 dated
10th June, 2019 (referring to RBI circular DBR No BP.BC.6/21.04.141/2015-16 dated
July 1, 2015 advising banks that if the value of sales and transfer of securities to /
from HTM category exceeds 5 per cent of the book value of investments held in
HTM category at the beginning of the year) banks should disclose the market value
of the investments held in the HTM category and indicate the excess of book value
over market value for which provision is not made. Apart from transactions that
are already exempted from inclusion in the 5 per cent cap, it has been decided that
repurchase of State Development Loans (SDLs) by the concerned state government
shall also be exempted.
Banks are required to follow AS 13 ‘Accounting for Investments’ issued by the ICAI
relating to long-term investments for valuation of investments in subsidiaries. In
terms of AS 13, long term investments should be arrived in the financial statements
at carrying cost. However, provision for diminution shall be made to recognise a
decline other than temporary, in the value of the investments, such reduction being
determined and made for each investment individually.
(a) In respect of securities included in the HFT category, open gold position
limit, open foreign exchange position limit, trading positions in
derivatives and derivatives entered into for hedging trading book, and
(b) In respect of securities included in the AFS category.
(iii) With a view to encourage banks for early compliance with the guidelines for
maintenance of capital charge for market risks, banks which have maintained
capital of at least 9 per cent of the risk weighted assets for both credit risk
and market risks for both HFT (items as indicated at (a) above) and AFS
category may treat the balance in excess of 5 per cent of securities included
under HFT and AFS categories, in the IFR, as Tier I capital. Banks satisfying the
above were allowed to transfer the amount in excess of the said 5 per cent in
the IFR to Statutory Reserve.
(iv) Banks maintaining capital of at least 9 per cent of the risk weighted assets for
both credit risk and market risks for both HFT (items as indicated at (a) above)
and AFS category would be permitted to treat the entire balance in the IFR as
Tier I capital. For this purpose, banks may transfer the balance in the
Investment Fluctuation Reserve ‘below the line’ in the Profit and Loss
Appropriation Account to Statutory Reserve, General Reserve or balance of
Profit & Loss Account.
(v) Investment Reserve Account (IRA): In the event, provisions created on
account of depreciation in the ‘AFS’ or ‘HFT’ categories are found to be in
excess of the required amount in any year, the excess should be credited to
the Profit & Loss account and an equivalent amount (net of taxes, if any and
net of transfer to Statutory Reserves as applicable to such excess provision)
should be appropriated to an IRA Account in Schedule 2 – “Reserves &
Surplus” under the head “Revenue and other Reserves”, and would be eligible
for inclusion under Tier-II within the overall ceiling of 1.25 per cent of total
Risk Weighted Assets prescribed for General Provisions/ Loss Reserves.
(vi) Banks may utilise IRA as follows:The provisions required to be created on
account of depreciation in the AFS and HFT categories should be debited to
the P&L Account and an equivalent amount (net of tax benefit, if any, and net
of consequent reduction in the transfer to Statutory Reserve), may be
transferred from the IRA to the P&L Account.
Illustratively, banks may draw down from the IRA to the extent of provision
made during the year towards depreciation in investment in AFS and HFT
categories (net of taxes, if any, and net of transfer to Statutory Reserves as
applicable to such excess provision). In other words, a bank which pays a tax
of 30% and should appropriate a prescribed percentage of the net profits to
Statutory Reserves, can draw down `52.50 from the IRA, if the provision made
for depreciation in investments included in the AFS and HFT categories is
` 100.
(vii) The amounts debited to the P&L Account for provision should be debited
under the head ‘Expenditure - Provisions & Contingencies’. The amount
transferred from the IRA to the P&L Account, should be shown as ‘below the
line’ item in the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account, after determining the
profit for the year. Provision towards any erosion in the value of an asset is
an item of charge on the profit and loss account, and hence should appear in
that account before arriving at the profit for the accounting period.
(viii) In terms of our guidelines on payment of dividend by banks, dividends should
be payable only out of current year's profit. The amount drawn down from
the IRA will, therefore, not be available to a bank for payment of dividend
among the shareholders. However, the balance in the IRA transferred ‘below
the line’ in the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account to Statutory Reserve,
General Reserve or balance of Profit & Loss Account would be eligible to be
reckoned as Tier I capital.
The Working Group (WG) constituted by RBI to review the existing Prudential
Guidelines on Restructuring of Advances had recommended that once the higher
provisions and risk weights (if applicable) on restructured advances revert back to
the normal level on account of satisfactory performance during the prescribed
period, such advances should no longer be required to be disclosed by banks as
restructured accounts in the “Notes on Accounts” in their Annual Balance Sheets.
However, the provision for diminution in the fair value of restructured accounts on
such restructured accounts should continue to be maintained by banks as per the
existing instructions. The WG also recommended that banks may be required to
disclose: (i) Details of accounts restructured on a cumulative basis excluding the
standard restructured accounts which cease to attract higher provision and risk
weight (if applicable); (ii) Provisions made on restructured accounts under various
categories; and (iii) Details of movement of restructured accounts.
This recommendation has been accepted in view of the fact that in terms of present
guidelines, banks are required to disclose annually all accounts restructured in their
books on a cumulative basis even though many of them would have subsequently
shown satisfactory performance over a sufficiently long period. As such the present
position of disclosures do not take into account the fact that in many of these
accounts the inherent weaknesses have disappeared and the accounts are in fact
standard in all respects, but continue to be disclosed as restructured advances.
Accordingly, banks should henceforth disclose in their published Annual Balance
Sheets, under "Notes on Accounts", information relating to number and amount of
advances restructured, and the amount of diminution in the fair value of the
restructured advances as per the prescribed format. Detailed instructions relating
to the disclosure are also given in the format.
