Bad Loan Asset Bank
PrintListen to this Article
Currently hottest topic in Banking industry is NPA. Lot of discussions are going on about why this happened, How this happened and What should be further course of Action.
One thing is crystal clear that the Banking sector in India is passing thru a very crucial phase and need to do a lot to come out of this situation. Another fact is that the amount of such default account is very high. Considering both the facts in mind let us discuss about the ways to handle this mammoth issue. Typically such accounts are written off and recovery is very less. The route to assign such loans to Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs) has proved more disastrous for the Banks and the Economy of the country.
One of the suggestion to handle this chaos is to create a separate bank off such bad accounts so each and every account can be looked into cautiously and revive if possible. Also such Bad Bank will have experts of settlement, Revival and Recovery. Another suggestion almost related to this can be creation of Asset Bank which owns and monetise each and every part of the Asset of NPA accounts like Land, Building, Plant & Machinery , Brands, IPRs, Technology Expertise and above all Human Resource.
Such Bank can not only prove a good deal in long run but also help in retaining the expertise and invisible assets. If this idea is really put into place there can be a good possibility of recovering the dues. If such assets are managed by the banks directly in long run they would definitely be able to revive or recover the dues. Asset disposal if done properly and slowly without getting panic, will generate substantial recoveries.
It is similar to creating a separate bad bank where the assets can be Parked and serious efforts are made to solve the issues. Government should seriously give thought to this idea, after it is question of public money. To extract better monetisation, separate divisions for visible and non-visible assets can be created. Asset Bank having technology, brands and IPRs can prove to be a great venture in long run if handled properly.

Are you also in habit of leaving your bank accounts unattended for long? Then, it's time to be alert. You may be deprived of entire money in your accounts by fraudsters. Howsoever rich you may be, but you won't want your single rupee to be taken away by fraud.

Today I am covering a very important provision in bank credit (working capital limit) which almost 100% of the people (even CAs and senior bankers) treat wrongly. Generally banks will compute drawing power (DP) in a cash credit/overdraft account by taking into consideration book debts outstanding upto 90 days. I think this concept is clear to everyone. But, almost everyone does a mess with the concept of security viz-a-viz the computation of DP. You are all aware that banks stipula...
Fund diversion has always been a major problem in our banking system. It has been observed in all major cases of wilful default or fraud that the funds borrowed from banks have been diverted elsewhere and the banks had no control on utilization of funds. This situation is caused due to the fact that there is no discipline in our banking system on opening and running of current and CC/OD accounts. Borrowers have simultaneous current and CC/OD accounts with many banks. To check this loophol...
