CANARA BANK

1. INDUSTRY PROFILE
Banking Regulation Act of India, 1949 defines banking as accepting, for the purpose of lending or investment of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise and withdrawal by cheques, draft, and order or otherwise. The word bank has been derived from French word BANQNUE and Latin word BANQCUS which means a bench. The banking structure in India comprises RBI at the top, scheduled commercial banks (established under a schedule of Government of India Act of Parliament). These include Commercial banks and Cooperative banks. Cooperative banks are established in both rural and urban areas by groups of members for mutual benefit. At present there are 52 urban and 16 rural co-operative banks. Commercial banks include 27 PSU (of which SBI and its associates are 8), 29 private and 31 foreign banks apart from 196 Regional Rural Banks. The first bank in India was called General Bank of India which was established in 1786. From 1786 till today, the journey of Indian banking system can be segregated into three distinct stages. It is explained under the heads Stage I, Stage II, and Stage III in detail.

STAGE I
During this period, public had lesser confidence in the banks, as a result deposit mobilization was slow and also saving bank facility provided by the postal department was considered comparatively safer. In the first phase the growth was very slow and banks also experienced periodic failures between 1913 and 1948. There were approximately 1100 banks, mostly small. In order to streamline the functioning and activities of commercial banks, the government of India came up with the Banking Companies Act, 1949 which was later changed to Banking Regulation act 1949 as per amending act of 1956 (Act No. 23 of 1956). Reserve Bank of India was vested with extensive powers for the supervision of banking in India as the central banking authority. STAGE II In this phase, the process of nationalization was undertaken in big way by the government. In 1955, Imperial Bank of India with extensive banking facilities on a large scale especially in rural and semi urban areas was nationalized. State Bank of India was formed to act as the principal agent of RBI and to handle banking transactions of the union

and state government all over the country. In 1960 seven banks forming subsidiary of State Bank of India were also nationalized. In 1969, fourteen major Commercial Banks in the country were nationalized. This initiative was the effort of the then prime minister of India Mrs. Indira Gandhi. Second phase of nationalization was carried out in 1980 with seven more banks. This step brought 80% of the banking segment in India under government ownership. The stated reason for the nationalization was to give the government more control of credit delivery. With the second dose of nationalization, the Government of India controlled around 91% of the banking business of India.The government ownership gave the public implicit faith and immense confidence about the sustainability of these institutions. STAGE III This phase is characterized by the introduction of many products and facilities in the banking sector in its reforms measure. In 1991, under the chairmanship of M. Narashimham, a committee was set up by his name which worked for the liberalization of banking practices. The new wave ushered in a modern outlook and tech-savvy methods of working for traditional banks. All this led to the retail boom in India. People not just demanded more from their banks but also received more.The country is flooded with foreign banks and their ATM stations.. Phone banking and net banking is introduced. The entire system became more convenient and swift. Currently, banking in India is generally fairly mature in terms of supply, product range and reach-even though reaching rural India still remains a challenge for the private sector and foreign banks. In terms of quality of assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered to have clean, strong and transparent balance sheets relative to other banks in comparable economies in its region. The Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous body, with minimal pressure from the government. The Indian GDP is expected to grow at 6.9-7% for the year 2012.With the growth in the Indian economy expected to be strong for quite some time-especially in its services sector-the demand for banking services, especially retail banking, mortgages and investment services are expected to be strong. One may also expect M&As and takeovers.

3. MCKENSYS 7S FRAMEWORK
The McKinsey 7S Framework is a management model developed by wellknown business consultants Robert H. Waterman, Jr. and Tom Peters. The model is most often used as a tool to assess and monitor changes in the internal situation of an organization.. The model is based on the theory that, for an organization to perform well, seven elements need to be aligned and mutually reinforcing. So, the model can be used to help identify what needs to be realigned to improve performance, or to maintain alignment (and performance) during other types of change. The 7S are structure, strategy, systems, skills, style, staff and shared values.

1. STRUCTURE
Organizational structure represents the expressed allocation of responsibilities for different functions and processes to different entities such as the branch, department, workgroup and individual. The organization structure of the Canara Bank depicts the principle of unity of command, principle of order, and principle of secular chain.

The same process is applicable even in the case of circle office and head office. The Bank has eighteen wings in the Head Office, Bangalore.

CANARA BANK

2008-09 1.06

2009-10 1.30

2010-11 1.42

Analysis & Interpretation Return on assets measures a companys earnings in relation to all of the resources it had at its disposal (the shareholders capital plus short and long-term borrowed funds). Thus, it is the most stringent and excessive test of return to shareholders. ROA for short, tells an investor how much profit a company generated for each Rs.1 in assets. The ROA has been consistently increasing over the past 5 years, and it now stands at 1.42 % which means, the bank earns Rs 1.42 for every Rs 1 in asset, which indicates a very healthy position. EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

Analysis & Interpretation The ratio measures the profit available to the equity holders on a per share basis. It is found out by dividing the amount of profit after tax by the number of shares. The EPS of the bank has shown growth over the past 5 years. The earnings per share have increased considerably by 32.76% in the FY 2010-11 to Rs.97.83, which is a good sign for the shareholders of the company. The EPS has increased over the last 5 years.

Analysis & Interpretation

CANARA BANK

It is the ratio of interest expended to interest earned by the bank. Lower ratio indicates lesser expenses and higher earnings and vice versa. Here FY 2006-07 has been the most efficient year in terms of generating less expenses to earnings with 64.57 %, and there after the ratio has increased till 2008-09, and has showed downward trend since then. In the year 2010-11 it has reduced to marginally to 66.08 % which means earnings have increased more than the expenses. CREDIT / DEPOSIT RATIO

Analysis & Interpretation It refers to the proportion of loans generated by banks from the deposits received. The term
deposit includes deposit and borrowings in this ratio. The RBI recommends the banks to lend atleast 60% of their deposits as loans. Advances help the banks to earn greater interest then other avenues. Canara Banks credit/ deposit ratio was improving till 2009-10. It has slightly dipped to 72.23% in FY 2010-11, though its better then the figures till 2008-09.

Analysis & Interpretation It refers to the proportion of investments made by banks from the deposits received. Investments generate lower income compared to deposits, as banks generally invest in government securities which gives lower interest compared to Advances. The ratio is showing a good trend, as it has consistently decreased over the last 5 years, and now stands at 29.01% in FY 2010-11. It means, the bank has used less deposit funds for investment purposes.

The training received during the period of 10 weeks helped in understanding the various aspects involved in the banking business and how various factors like inflation , interest rates, and policy changes affects the banking industry. The strategic attributes of Canara bank was analyzed using the framework of Mckensys 7s and the SWOT analysis, which enabled the understanding of present status and the future prospects of the bank and the likely competitors of the bank. The analysis of services profile and the work flow model gave valuable insight into how the banking business works and what are the major sources of revenue to the bank. The financial statements analysis helped in knowing the overall profitability and financial health of the bank. In this project titled A study on Non-Performing Assets Management at Canara Bank, effort has been made to look into the reasons of the NPA, implication of high NPA s and suggests effective recovery measures for resolving the problems. Efforts was made to evaluate the efficiency of the strategies used to manage NPA s with reference to Canara Bank, analyzing its performance in the last 5 years and to give the possible solutions for reducing NPA level by using comparative, descriptive and ratio analysis of various important data related to loans and advances. To conclude, this 10 week internship gave a perspective on how one of the largest banks in India work and how the banking business in general is carried out. It was a very useful and memorable learning experience. It proved to be a good platform to get practical exposure in Corporate Environment, and also to understand how theoretical concepts are applied in actual work-place.

7. GENERAL INTRODUCTION
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
The real problem of any banking and financial institutions today, is the disbursement of funds in quality assets (loans and advances). There is constant threat of their investments becoming non-performing. A crucial issue which is engaging the constant attention of the banking industry is the alarmingly high level of Non-Performing Assets (NPA). Another major anxiety before the banking industry is the high transaction cost of carrying Nonperforming Assets in their books. In India the Non-Performing Assets are substantially reducing the profit margin of the banks. So the bankers have realized that unless the level of NPAs is reduced drastically, they will find it difficult to survive. In simple words Non Performing Assets problem is one where banks are not able to recollect the money lent to the clients or clients are in such a condition that they find it difficult to pay back the borrowed money to the banks. Though RBI has taken number of steps to reduce NPAs of the Indian banks, it has been found that NPAS have consistently increased from past many years. So the problem of managing NPAs has gained more importance and must be tackled out in such a way that it would not destroy the operational, financial conditions and would not affect the image of the banks.

7.1 MEANING OF NPAs:


An asset was classified as non-performing asset (NPAs) if the borrower did not pay dues in the form of principal and interest for a period of 180 days. However w.e.f March 2004, default status would be given to a borrower if dues were not paid for 90 days. If any advance or credit facilities granted by bank to a borrower become non-performing, then the bank will have to treat all the advances/credit facilities granted to that borrower as nonperforming without having any regard to the fact that there may still exist certain advances / credit facilities having performing status.

CANARA BANK

7.2 WHAT ARE NPAs (NON PERFORMING ASSETS):


Non Performing Asset means an asset or account of borrower, which has been classified by a bank or financial institution as substandard, doubtful or loss asset, in accordance with the directions or guidelines relating to asset classification issued by RBI: 1 An amount due under any credit facility was treated as past due when it was not paid within 30 days from the due date. Due to the improvement in the payment and settlement systems, recovery climate, up gradation of technology in the banking system, etc., it was decided to dispense with past due concept, with effect from March 31, 2001. 2 With a view to moving towards international best practices and to ensure greater transparency, it was decided to adopt the 90 days overdue norm for identification of NPAs, form the year ending March 31, 2004. Accordingly, with effect from March 31, 2004 a non-performing asset (NPA) shall be a loan or an advance where: 1 2 3 4

Interest and or installment of principal remain overdue for a period of more than 90 days in respect of a Term Loan. The account remains out of order for a period of more than 90 days, in respect of an overdraft / cash Credit (OD/CC). The bill remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days in the case of bills purchased and discounted. Interest and / or installment of principal granted for short duration crops remains overdue for two harvest/crop and installment of principle or interest on loan granted for long duration crops remains overdue for one crop season. Any amount to be received remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days in respect of other accounts. Action for enforcement of security interest can be initiated only if the secured asset is classified as Non Performing Asset.

7.3 ASSET CLASSIFICATION:
Categor y of assets

CANARA BANK

l. N o.

Basis for Deciding the category

Standard assets are the ones in which the bank is receiving interest as well as the principal amount of the loan regularly from the customer. Here Standar d 1. Assets it is also very important that in this case the arrears of interest and the principal amount of loan do not exceed 90 days at the end of financial year. It is an asset, which does not disclose any problem and also does not carry more than normal risk attached to the business, it should not fall under the category of NPA.

(i)With effect from March 31, 2005 an asset would be classified as substandard if it remained NPA for a period less than or equal to 12 months. In such cases, the current net worth of the borrowers/ guarantors or the current market value of the security charged is not enough to ensure recovery of the dues to the banks in full. In other words, such assets will have well defined credit weaknesses SubStandar d .2. Assets that jeopardise the liquidation of the debt and are characterised by the distinct possibility that the banks will sustain some loss, if deficiencies are not corrected. (ii) An asset where the terms of the loan agreement regarding interest and principal have been re-negotiated or rescheduled after commencement of production, should be classified as sub-standard and should remain in such category for at least 2 years of satisfactory performance under the renegotiated or rescheduled terms. In other words, the classification of an asset should not be upgraded merely as a result of rescheduling, unless there is satisfactory compliance of this condition.

Department of MBA, PESIT

Page 36

A study on NPA management

CANARA BANK

An asset is required to be classified as doubtful, if it has remained NPA for more than 12 months. As in the case of sub-standard assets, Doubtfu l .3 Assets rescheduling does not entitle the bank to upgrade the quality of an advance automatically. A loan classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent as that classified as sub-standard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. An asset where loss has been identified by the bank or Loss .4 Assets internal/external auditors or by RBI inspection but the amount has not been written-off, wholly or partly. In other words, such an asset is considered un-collectible and of such little value that its continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted although there may be some salvage or recovery value.

7.4 PROVISIONING REQUIREMENTS:

As and when an asset is classified as NPA, the bank has to further sub-classify it into sub-standard, loss and doubtful assets. Based on this classification, bank makes the necessary provision against these assets. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued guidelines on provisioning requirements of bank advances where the recovery is doubtful. Banks are also required to comply with such guidelines in making adequate provision to the satisfaction of its auditors before declaring any dividends on its shares. In case of loss assets, guidelines specifically require that full provision for the amount outstanding should be made by the concerned bank. This is justified in the grounds that such an asset is considered uncollectable and cannot be classified as bankable asset.

Since in India, bank balance sheets contain a huge amount of NPAs and the process of recovery and write off of loans is very time consuming, the provisions the banks have to make against the NPAs according to the central bank guidelines, are quite significant. That is why the difference between gross and net NPA is quite high. It can be calculated by following formula:

7.9 NPA RECOVERY ROUTES AND REMIDIES AVAILABLE TO BANKS:


Seeing the gravity of the situation, RBI has taken several constructive steps for arresting the incidence of NPAs. It has also created a regulatory environment to facilitate the recovery of existing NPAs of banks. SARFAESI ACT: With the enactment of the securitization and reconstruction of financial assets and enforcement of security interest act 2002, banks can issue notices to the defaulters to pay up the dues and the borrowers will have to clear their dues within 60 days. Once the borrower receives a notice from the concerned bank & the financial institution, the secure assets mentioned in the notice cannot be sold or transferred without the consent of the lenders. The main purpose of this notice is to inform the borrower that either the sum due to the bank or financial institution be paid by the borrower or else the former will take action by way of taking over the possession of assets. Besides assets, bank can also take over the management of the company. Thus the bankers under the aforementioned act will have the much needed authority to either sell defaulting companies or change their management. LOK ADALATS: Lok Adalats have been set up for recovery of dues in accounts falling in the doubtful and loss category with outstanding balance up to Rs. 5 lakhs, by way of compromise settlements. This mechanism has, proved to be quite effective for speedy justice and recovery of small loans. DEBT RECOVERY TRIBUNALS (DRT): 1 The banks and FIs can enforce their securities interest by initiating recovery proceeding under the Recovery of Debts due to Banks and FI act, 1993 (DRT Act) by filing an application for recovery of dues before the Debt Recovery Tribunal constituted under the Act. 2 On adjudication, a recovery certificate is issued and the sale is carried out by an auctioneer or a receiver.

DRT has powers to grant injunctions against the disposal, transfer or creation of third party interest by debtors in the properties charged to creditor and to pass attachment orders in respect of charged properties

In case of non-realization of the decreed amount by way of sale of the charged properties, the personal properties of the guarantors can also be attached and sold. However, realization is usually time-consuming Steps have been taken to create additional benches

CORPORATE DEBT RESTRUCTURING (CDR): Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) mechanism is an additional safeguard to protect the interest of the creditors and revive potentially viable units. It focuses on the restructuring of corporate debts of viable entities and to minimize the losses to the creditors and other stakeholders through an orderly and co-ordinated restructuring programme. With CDR, banks can arrest fresh slippage of performing assets into the magnitude of NPA.

ASSET RECONSTRUCTION COMPANIES (ARC): One of the most effective ways of removing NPAs from the books of the banks would be to move these out to a separate agency which would buy the assets and make its own efforts for recovery. On this front, the SARFESI Act has provided a framework for setting up to Asset Reconstruction companies (ARCs) in India. OTS and NS: Efforts are made through negotiations and discussions with the borrowers to bring them around to settle the dues. Such settlements in the form of one time settlement (OTS) and negotiated settlement (NS) are now being increasingly used to reduce NPAs. Under these schemes banks focus on maximum payment under the settlements being received upfront, and balance within the same financial year for quicker realization of locked up proceeds. However, despite such efforts made by the lenders, many defaulting borrowers exhibit reluctance to co-operate, leaving the banks no option but to seek the legal route. LEGAL REFORMS: As the problem of NPAs is closely linked with the issue of legal reforms, the government has taken up initiatives to align the legal set-up with the requirements of the

banking system. As early as in 1999 the Andhyarujina committee set up by Govt of India to formulate specific proposals to give effect to the suggestions made by the Narasimhan committee (1998) recommended amending the Recovery of Debts due to the Banks and Financial Institutions Act 1993 and Sick Industrial Companies Act, 1995. It also recommended a new legislation for banks and financial institutions to take possession and sale of securities without the intervention of the court, in respect of both immovable property and movable assets which resulted in the enactment of SARFAESI Act 2002. The committee also considered securitization as an instrument to tackle the NPA problem. SECURITIZATION: Securitization enables risk sharing and trading of loans where the bad assets of banks can be securitized and sold at a discount. The lending institutions NPA s are hence removed from their balance sheets and are instead funded by investors through negotiable financial instruments. The security in a banks balance sheet can be cash up front, which could be put to productive use.

STEPS FOLLOWED BY CANARA BANK TO DEAL WITH NPA


1. SUB-STANDARD ASSETS: This segment is more effort elastic in terms of recovery & hence the banks recovery policy is to be tuned up for maximizing the recoveries from the sub-standard NPA. NPA recovery action plans: 9. 35. 61. Send simple reminder letters if instalments / interest debited are not serviced on due dates. If no results are forthcoming from the reminders, meet the borrower in person and persuade them to settle the accounts in persons. Officials from the assets recovery cell at the regional office to compulsorily meet the borrower with Rs 5 lakhs and evaluate the reasons for non performance of account and suggest / evolve methods to improve the quality. IV. 22. In cases of sick but viable industries units prospects for rehabilitation are to looked into and nursing programme to be evolved. If the accounts have become NPA due to cash flow problem the repayment programme must be rescheduled according to the revised cash flow projections. This will enable the

CANARA BANK

bank to maintain asset quality at the same level for 2 years, and the asset quality can be upgraded after 2 years, if the repayment is coming as per the redrawn schedule. VI. If the borrower is co-operative the settlement through compromise route to be considered. 2. DOUBTFUL ASSETS: Slippage of assets from sub-standard category to doubtful necessitates higher provisions requirements. Depending on the age of the asset, 20% to 50% provision has to be made on such assets on the secured portion and 100% provision is required on the unsecured provision. Recovery of the doubtful assets in the normal course is difficult; the following strategies can be adopted in handing doubtful assets: 9. Borrowers are to be met in person to get the accounts settled through persuasion. II. Ensure that the securities charged to the bank are intact and are not alienated. III. Securities are to be inspected at periodic intervals and correct value properly recorded. IV. 22. Legal remedy is the last resort. Most of the accounts coming under this category are either suit filed or RR initiated. In case of suit filed accounts, cases are to be closely followed up to ensure that the decree is obtained within a reasonable time. 3. LOSS ASSETS: 9. If recovery in the normal course is difficult, we may have to resort to legal remedies against the borrowers, guarantor, co-obligate, and efforts shall be made to bring them to a compromise table for the settlement of the accounts. 35. 61. In case of accounts coming under priority sector, recovery though the RR route is to be resorted to. As per loss assets are concerned, the bank makes 100% provision for loan losses. Hence there will not be any further impact on bottom line. If these assets are shed, notionally from the books of the bank, such notional write off will help in cleansing the balance sheet. IV. Even after write-off the branches can continue the recovery efforts thus made and can improve the bottom line of the bank. 22. Recovery through legal action is time consuming.

Analysis & Interpretation


The net advances of the bank are steadily increasing over the years. Though in the year 2007-08 the growth rate dipped to just 8.86% from 24.02% of growth rate in the previous

year 2006-07, the growth trend has picked up since then and has maintained a consistent rate of growth as shown in the graph. Especially in the year 2008-09, the net advances increased sharply by Rs.30981 cr from previous year. Net advances have shown positive trend in the current year, with 25.47% increase i.e Rs.43132 crs. That indicates healthy increase in the advance portfolio; as a result the interest income of the bank will also increase resulting in higher net profit. This also indicates that non performing advances of the bank have also considerably decreased.

Analysis & Interpretation


The advances of the bank to the priority sector have consistently increased in numbers over the past 5 years. However, fluctuations could be seen in the percentage of growth. It showed a down ward trend from 2007-09, thereafter improved in the FY 2009-10. Though the total advances to priority sector in FY 2010-11 has increased by Rs.11447 crores compared to a rise of only Rs.10,547 crores in the FY 2009-10 , the percentage of growth has dipped by 2.33%. The fluctuations in the growth rate indicates that due to the increased inflation rate, slowdown in economy and corresponding increase in the interest rates on advances, there is a reduction in the demand for additional credit. Moreover in the past year, the entire banking industry has witnessed a downward trend in the advances. Inspite of adverse features in the market, Canara bank has shown good performance. They are advised to follow a aggressive strategy to increase the advances.

GNPA and NNPA of the bank are showing an increasing trend from the past three years, as against the decreasing trend in 2006-07 and 2009-08.

GNPA is showing good trend from year 2006-07 to 2007-08, but it has increased from 2008-09, bank has to take suitable control and monitoring measures to reduce this. NNPA has increased in 2008-09 and 2009-10, it shows that bank has made less provision in those years.

There has been a sharp increase in the NNPA in 2010-11; it stands at 75.98% of GNPA, which indicates that fewer provisions were made in the year. It may be due to decrease in sub-standard assets for the FY 2010-11 which resulted in less provisions being made in the year.

The Net advances of the bank have increased from 98506 crores in 2006-07 to 212467 crores in 2010-11 hence indicating healthy growth. However, the percentage of NNPA to Net Advances has been increasing over the years and stands at 1.105 % in the FY 2010-11. This may be attributed increase in doubtful debts and loss assets. Bank should take sufficient securities at the time of granting advances.

Analysis & Interpretation


The Sub-standard Assets of the bank is showing a decreasing trend as it has reduced considerably to 1586 crores in 2010 from 1953.59 crores in the previous year. It stands at only 51.34% of total NPA. Doubtful Assets have increased by nearly 42.47 % from 627.39 crores in 2009-10 to 1477crores in 2010-11 and stands at 47.82% of total NPA in the yr 201011. The Loss Assets and doubtful assets of the bank are varying from year to year. There is considerable increase in Loss Assets as well. Bank is required to focus on Loss Assets and doubtful assets; it should take some serious credit control measures to reduce them because it is going to affect the overall profits of the bank.

Analysis & Interpretation


The Non-Priority Sector constitutes the major portion for the year 2007-08 as it has increased to 50.70% of the Total NPA. It indicates poor party selection while granting loans. However, NPA in the Priority Sector stood at 48.71% in total, of which NPA in SSI and Others have decreased considerably for the year, but Agricultural NPA rose to 18.72%. Public sector NPA has reduced to 0.59%. Canara bank has to focus on its non priority lending and agricultural loans and ensure proper appraisal is made before granting loans.

Analysis & Interpretation


The major portion of NPA for the year 2008-09 is from the Non-Priority Sector as it has increased by 5.70% over the last year. This indicates greater credit control measures have to be taken when lending to the non-priority sector. The priority sector NPA has reduced to 43.60%, of which Others and Agricultural NPA has significantly reduced but the SSI NPA has risen to 8.4%. It has to be noted that public sector NPA has become nil, which is a good sign, indicating recovery of past NPA, and quality credit in that segment.

Analysis & Interpretation


In the year, beating the trend of the previous two years, NPA from priority sector has emerged as a major contributor to total NPA with 56.8%. It may be because of increasing

importance given to this sector and failure of the parties to pay back which resulted in higher NPA across all segments. The Non-Priority Sector reduced to 43.2% which shows improvement, and the Public Sector NPA continues to be nil indicating good trend.

Analysis & Interpretation


PRIORITY SECTOR Agriculture NPA in case of Agriculture has increased from 228.29 crores in 2006-07 to 663 crores in 2010. It has been increasing consistently over the last 5 years. It may be due to increased priority in advances given to agriculture sector. Small Scale Industries (SSI) NPA in case of SSI has increased from 150.75 crores in 2006-07 to 555 crores in 201011. There is a sharp increase in the level of NPA which may be due to faulty selection of parties, poor recovery machinery, and may also be due to economic slowdown in general which has affected many SSIs. Others NPA in case of others has reduced from 544.59 crores in 2006-07 to 474 crores in 201011. Its a healthy development, which indicates NPAs are being recovered, and the quality of advances have improved. PUBLIC SECTOR NPA in case of Public Sector has sharply increased from 18.96 crores in 2006-07 to 435 crores in 2010-11. It is a concerning factor, especially as NPA was completely nil for the last two years. This segment requires greater focus of the Canara bank, and coordinated effort is necessary to tackle this problem. NON-PRIORITY SECTOR NPA in case of Non-Priority Sector has increased from 544.50 in 2006-07 crores to 962 crores in 2010 -11. But though it has increased when compared to FY 2006-07, It has shown a declining trend, when compared to the last two years. This is a sign of improvement.

11. RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSION


11.1 RECOMMENDATIONS
Though, Canara Bank has been working towards bringing down the level of NPA yearon-year, still huge amount is trapped as NPAs which is a burden to the bank. The origin of the problem of burgeoning NPAs lies in the quality of managing credit risk by the banks concerned, what is needed is having adequate preventive measures in place namely, fixing pre-sanctioning appraisal responsibility and having an effective post-disbursement supervision. The following recommendations are suggested to the Canara Bank to control the NPAs: 1 Bank should create a new model of banking business by giving loans to the credit worthy persons and persons having clean credit history and not just giving advances against collateral security. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Timely sanction and release of loans by the bank so as to avoid time and cost overruns. Operations staffs credit skills should be up-graded. Projects with old technologies should not be considered for finance. Large exposure on big corporate or single project should be avoided. Banks have to make a separate department, whose duty is only to inquire the personnel goodwill in the city apart from the financial asset. Canara Bank should concentrate more on credit appraisal, monitoring, credit risk management and recoveries. The bank officers shouldnt forget the ethics of doing job. There is an urgent need for banks to implement risk management systems of global repute. Canara Bank should timely implement effective risk management system.

PRE SANCTION SUGGESTIONS 1 Banks should have to consider the market conditions and economy, exchange rate risks before disbursement of loan in case of import, export, and business. Banks have to be assured that the collateral security should not be disputed asset and any other loan is not taken on that security. Proper identification of the guarantor should be checked by the bank and his/her wealth also, so that he/she cant mislead the bank

All the necessary documents which establishes the credit worthiness and legality of the party/ firm should be procured and scrutinized. If the party is an existing customer of the bank, then the banks experience in dealing with such a party, his other accounts and transactions should be analyzed. If the party is a new customer, then the bank has to scrutinize his dealings with the other existing bankers of the party, and also try to obtain confidential opinion about the party.

4 5

If the loan is requested for the line of activity or industry, which is known to cause or lead to NPA accounts, then it is advised not to entertain such requests. Agriculture loan comes in priority sector, so banks are bound to achieve the targets set by government. In this situation bank has to be care full when lending loans: Bank should check the credibility of farmer like the proper identification and also his/her reputation in the village. Sarpanch of the village should also be inquired before the disbursement of the loan amount. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Banks should prevent diversions of funds by the promoters / party. Operations staff should scrutinize the level of inventories/receivables at the time of assessment of working capital. The credit section should carefully watch the warning signals viz., non payment of quarterly interest, dishonor of cheques etc. Effective inspection system should be imparted. The stocks and receivables are to be checked randomly by the bank, so that the bank is aware of position of the firms. Ensuring end use of the funds lent out Surprise inspection of the unit/ business establishment should be carried out. Party should be immediately contacted and discussions must be made with him regarding the problems faced by him, if there are no operations in the account, cheques are being returned for the want of funds, interest debited is not serviced, or installments are not remitted in time. 9 Canara Bank should offer rescheduling of loans to borrowers who are facing low cash inflows, or who are facing from genuine problems

11.2 CONCLUSION

CANARA BANK

The origin of the problem of burgeoning NPAs lies in the quality of managing credit risk by the concerned banks. The bank must adopt structured NPAs management policy for elimination or reducing the NPAs in the Bank. Banks concerned should continuously monitor loans to identify accounts that have potential to become Non-Performing. NPA affects banks profitability not only due to interest income not being recognized on NPA accounts, but also due to provisions being made for such NPAS from the profits earned. Hence it is a double edged weapon which affects the overall viability of not only the bank, but financial system as a whole. The history of financial institutions reveals the fact that the biggest banking failures were due to credit risk. Due to this, banks are restricting their lending operations to secured avenues only with adequate collateral on which to fall back upon if a situation of default arises. The year 2011 seems to be a watershed year for the Indian banking industry. Concerns about economic slowdown, rising inflationary pressure and high interest rates had their impact on discretionary spending of customers, leading to reduced estimates for credit growth in FY12. Then, concerns about asset quality, due to tightening of the economy, earlier restructured assets and pressure on capital levels added to the problems of Indian banks. Though various steps taken by RBI such as SARFAESI Act 2002, DRT, Lok adalats and other legal remedies are helping and empowering the banks to reduce their NPA accounts by giving them effective routes to recovery of the existing heavy stocks of the NPAs. There cannot be any fixed solutions to solve the NPA problem. More legal reforms are desired which can empower the banks to proceed against the personal assets of the directors of the defaulting units/companies/groups etc. to enable the NPA Act to be more effective and proactive. In order to reduce the NPAs of Nationalized banks, the government should remove the directed credit policy. The Nationalized Banks should be isolated from political interventions. Exchange of credit information among banks would be of immense help to avoid possible NPAs. A defaulters alert system should be introduced to track potential defaulters by diving deeper into their credit history and thus keeping such people aloof from the banking system. All the above steps if effectively implemented can obviously help in reducing NPA.
