G. Center, Mysore INTRODUCTION A strong banking sector is important for a flourishing economy. The failure of the banking sector may have an adverse impact on other sectors. The Indian banking system, which was operating in a closed economy, now faces the challenge of an open economy. The main business of a banking company is to receive deposits and lend money. Receiving deposit involves no risk, since it is the banker who owes a duty to repay the deposit, whenever it is demanded. On the other hand, lending always involves much risk because there is no certainty of repayment. A banker shall be very cautious in lending, because he is not lending money out of his own capital. A major portion of the money lent comes from the deposits received from the public. These deposits are mostly repayable on demand. Hence, while lending money, a banker should follow a very cautious policy. The risk involved in lending business makes it very important as it involves making prominent decisions. Therefore while sanctioning credit the banker should appraise the project reasonably or else it leads to the non-repayment of loans and advances. Most of the banks today in India are facing the default risk wherein some part of the profit is reserved for covering the nonperforming assets. The Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) of the Indian banking sector have been incessantly rising in the past six months. Historically, in 1997, NPAs were 15.8% of loans for the banking sector, which nosedived to 2.4% in This figure stands at 2.94% of loans in In absolute figures, NPAs have doubled from 2009 to 2012 and assets under reconstruction had trebled during the same period. India s biggest lender, State Bank of India, is experiencing an NPA level of 4.99% of total loans. According to a recently published Credit Suisse Group AG report, 10 large industrial houses account for 13% of total assets financed by the Banking system, which means that bank lending is getting increasingly skewed. Further, of the total reconstructed assets, 8.24% belong to the large manufacturing sector, 3.99% are from the services sector while 1.45% are from the agricultural sector. 11

2 Meaning of NPA Loan /lease that is not meeting its stated principal and interest payments. Banks usually classify as nonperforming assets any commercial loans which are more than 90 days overdue and any consumer loans which are more than 180 days overdue. More generally, and is not producing income. In India, an asset is classified as a Non-Performing Asset (NPA) if interest or instalments of principal due remain unpaid for more than 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 a bank to a borrower become non-performing, then the bank will have to treat all the advances/credit facilities granted to that borrower as non-performing without having any regard to the fact that there may still exist certain advances/credit facilities having performing status. Definition of NPA A non-performing asset (NPA) was defined as a credit facility in respect of which the interest and or installment of principle has remained past due for a specific period of time. An amount due under any credit facility is treated as past due, when it has not been paid within 30 days from the due date. Due to improvement in the payment and settlement systems, recovery climate, up gradation of technology in the banking system, etc. it was decided to dispense with past due concept, with effect from March 31, Accordingly as from that date a non-performing asset (NPA) shall be an advance where: 1. Interest and or installment of principal remain over due for a period of more than 180 days in respect of a term loan. 2. The account remains out of order for a period of more than 180 days, in respect of an overdraft/cash credit. 3. The bill remains overdue for a period of more than 180 days in the case of bills purchased and discounted. 4. Interest and or installment or principal remains over due for harvest seasons but for a Period not exceeding two half years in the case of an advance granted for agricultural purpose. Definition given by the Narasimham Committee The Committee has defined Non-performing assets as an advance where as on the date of Balance e sheet: 1. In respect of terms loans, interest remains past due for s period of more than 90 days. 2. Overdrafts and cash credits accounts remain out of order for more than 90 days. 3. Bills purchased and discounted remain over due and unpaid for period of more than 90 Days. An amount is considered past due when it remains outstanding for 30 days and beyond the due date. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Statement of the Problem The main motto of co-operative banks is to serve the weaker section of the people by providing loans and advances for the upliftment of the weaker section of the society now days the borrowers are not repaying the amount to the co-operative banks regularly as per the due dates; it is affecting the performance of the banks. As per the new banking regulation if 12

3 the borrower not paid the principle and interest amount within 90 days it is to be considered as Non Performing Assets. The research gaps and relevant questions which strike the mind during observation of various studies on non- performing assets that, what are the reasons for the assets becoming non- Performing assets and what is its impact on performance of Karnataka State cooperative Apex Limited. Hence there arises a need to address the aforesaid questions.

11 FINDINGS, SUGGESTION AND CONCLUSIONS FINDINGS Following are the findings of the study on Karnataka State Co-operative Apex Bank Ltd. 1. The Non-performing Assets of the bank stood at Rs lakhs as on as against Rs lakhs as on As on NPA is 4.91%. 2. In respect of agriculture loans, the percentage of recovery as on was 100%. For the corresponding period of the previous year also recovery percentage stood at 100%. 3. The total advance given to sugar sector is very less compared to agriculture sector. But total NPA in sugar sector is very high compared to agriculture sector. Advances given to the sugar sector in which more than 30% has become NPA. 4. Based on the observation in Sub standard asset was 43.43%, progressively it was decreased in with percentage of 33.52, with good recovery policy of cooperative bank, Sub standard assets condensed to 25.81%. 5. The percentage of total NPA in other sector has continuously increasing trend during the year , and as on it was increased at 3.54%. 6. The specific findings from the study are that, there is still a need to have controlling devices to monitor NPA system in the Karnataka State Co-operative Apex Bank Ltd. SUGGESTIONS To control the Non performing assets in Karnataka State Co-operative Apex Bank Limited, some remedial measures are suggested as follows: 1. There must be an effective and regular follow-up with the customers and need to watch is there any diversion of funds. This process can be taken up at regular intervals. 2. A number of personal visits after sanction and disbursal of credit and close monitoring of the operations of the accounts of borrowed units. 3. Between the Bankers borrower a healthy relationship should be developed. Many instances reported that the banks uses force in recovery of loans, which is unethical. 4. Managers in charge of non-performing assets should have dynamism and seal in their work. 5. Frequent discussions with the staff in the branch and taking their suggestions for recovery of NPAs make them feel responsible. 6. Assisting the borrowers in developing his/her entrepreneurial skill will not only establish a good relation between the borrowers but also help the bankers to keep a track of their funds. 7. RBI need to take necessary actions against defaulters like, publishing names of defaulters in News papers, broad-casting media, which is helpful to other banks and financial institutions. 8. Create awareness among the customers and staff about the effect of Non performing assets on the performance of the banks and ultimate on the customers. 9. The bank has to take care of recovery management in sugar and other sector. 10. The bank should avoid the wrong selection of borrowers. The staff must be additionally trained to assess the borrower efficiency by proper credit appraisal. 11. Quality of advances can be improved by using the tools and techniques of credit appraisal and applying the same effectively. 12. Establish special task force for the recovery of dues, which have fallen under the category of Non performing assets. 21

12 13. The bank should fully understand the borrowers financial position before issuing loans. 14. The manager must take actions of recovery of loans and advances within a specified time frame with rational decisions. CONCLUSION Finally we can conclude that the Apex bank can avoid sanctioning loans to the non creditworthy borrowers by adopting certain measures. They are careful appraisal of the project which involves checking the economic capability of the project. Apex banker must consider the homecoming on investment on a proposed project. If the calculated return is sufficiently higher than the credit amount he can sanction the loan. Secondly, banker can constantly monitor the borrower in order to ensure that the amount sanctioned is utilized properly for the purpose to which it has been sanctioned. This involves the post sanction inspection by the Apex bank. Thirdly, the banker should get both the formal and informal reports about the goodwill of the customer. If he had already proven as a defaulter then there is no question of sanctioning loan to him. Fourthly, the banker also has to educate the borrowers regarding the effects and consequences of defaulting. By considering all the above factors the banker can reduce the non-performing assets in a bank.. The use of technology like Core Banking Solutions in Apex bank should make more reachable to all borrowers. At last the problem of NPAs has been a major issue for the banking industry. The RBI which is the apex body for controlling level of non-performing assets have been giving guidelines and getting norms for the banks in order to control the incidents of faults. Reduction of NPAs in banking sector should be treated as national priority item to make the Indian Banking system more strong, vibrant and geared to meet the challenges of globalization REFERENCES 1.
