Loan write-offs by banks hit Rs 9.75 lakh crore in last 11 financial years: Chaudhary

17 Mar 2026 Evaluate

Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary has said that banks have written off loans worth Rs 9.75 lakh crore in the last 11 financial years. The peak in write off occurred in FY20 at Rs 1.59 lakh crore, and since then it has been declining to Rs 47,568 crore in FY25. Banks have written off Rs 31,723 crore in FY15, Rs 40,416 crore in FY16, Rs 68,308 crore in FY17, and Rs 99,132 crore in FY18.

He stated ‘Banks write off NPAs, including those in respect of which full provisioning has been made on completion of four years, as per RBI guidelines and policy approved by banks' boards. Such a write-off does not result in waiver of liabilities of borrowers, and therefore, it does not benefit the borrower.’

Further, he said the borrowers remain responsible for repayment, and banks continue to pursue recovery actions initiated in these accounts. He noted the recovery in written-off loans is a continuous process, and banks persistently pursuing their recovery actions initiated against borrowers under various recovery mechanisms available to them.
