    RBI sets 2017 as deadline for cleaning NPAs

    RBI sets 2017 as deadline for cleaning NPAs
    Credits:
  • In a bid to cleanse the banking system, RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan has set a deadline of 2017 for cleaning bad loans by banks.

    The cleaning up and restructuring of other possible NPAs is necessary to accelerate economic growth.

    Due to a large number of bad loans, banks are averse to lending which had affected capital availability and the start of new projects.

    Government owned ARCs to check bad loans

    Government owned ARCs to check bad loans
    Credits:
  • The government is planning to set up Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs), in partnership with the Reserve Bank of India to address the problem of bad loans.

    NPAs in banks have increased to 5.1% in Sept'15 from 4.6% in Mar'15, putting excessive pressure on the economy as a whole.

    However, RBI is not comfortable with the current distribution of stakes in the proposed ARCs.

    What are ARCs?

    What are ARCs?
    Credits:
  • Asset Reconstruction Company(ARC) is an instrument to recover bad loans.

    They work by acquiring bad loans from banks at a discount and then aim to recover them by sale of assets, turnaround through professional management, etc.

    With a net worth of Rs.4000 crore, there are about 15 ARCs in India. However, they have been able to recover only one-third of assets acquired by them.

  • Personal

    Reason for less attraction towards ARCs

  • The ARCs are facing credibility issues as public banks fear selling their assets to private ARCs as the discount rates can later be questioned by government auditors, vigilance departments or even intelligence agencies.

  • Apprehensions

    RBI does not want government shareholding in ARCs

    RBI does not want government shareholding in ARCs
    Credits:
  • The government wants to have a stake in the ARCs to give them greater credibility.

    However, according to RBI governor Raghuram Rajan, the government's shareholding in ARCs poses a "moral hazard".

    The bad loans have been acquired by banks due to some reckless lending in which due diligence was not observed.

    Hence, the tax payers money should not be spent on correcting this anomaly.
