Stressing that non-performing assets (NPAs) of the banks are a complex issue, the industry body, the Associated Chambers of Commerce of India (ASSOCHAM) has urged the Government and Reserve Bank of India to take flexible and pragmatic approach to deal with them, pointing that NPAs of banking sector are among the biggest road blocks for the economic growth as evident from latest data of GDP..
The industry body noted that if large NPAs were resolved by the RBI in next couple of quarters, this would spur the credit off-take and suggested that the NPA norms on getting the account classified under non-performing asset category for core sectors should be extended from 90-days to 180-days, specially for infra, power, steel and telecom companies.
ASSOCHAM stated that the NPA resolution would lead to cleaning up of the bank balance sheets and revival of the banks’ health will help uptick in the private sector investment. The industry body further said that the terms of different schemes for resolution of the NPAs should be flexible and liberal enough to be accommodative, rather than being rigid.
