International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said that the level of non-performing loans (NPLs) in India remains high and there is need to boost level of the capitalization of some banks, mainly government-owned banks.
IMF has said that there were some steps that were taken by the authorities to boost capital buffers in banks and also to improve governance in state-owned banks that have had some positive impact. It stated that the institutional mechanisms for resolution and the recognition of NPLs are, of course, an extremely important part of the process of cleaning up the banking system of non-performing loans. It added that the authorities should continue working along these lines.
Meanwhile, non-performing assets (NPAs) or bad loans declined by more than Rs 31,000 crore to Rs 8,64,433 crore in the first nine months of 2018-19 as compared to Rs 8,95,601 crore at March-end 2018.
