After Supreme Court quashed 2018 Reserve Bank of India (RBI) circular on resolving bad debt, ICRA’s Vice President & Sector Head - Financial Sector Ratings, Anil Gupta has said that the decision can lead to negative impact for the banks if the loans are not resolved.
Anil Gupta further noted that the decision will benefit both banks and companies in the short run as banks will not have to do a fire sale of these assets under NCLT which was undermining the value and impacting the recoveries.
Gupta, however, underlined long-term side effects of it, giving an instance that “if a resolution is not happening and there is just 'ever-greening', then it can create a situation similar to what we have now. If you allow the defaulting borrowers to continue owning the assets without actually resolving it, and without recovering the NPAs, the situation will remain as much negative.”
