What is the NPA resolution?
The government of India has amended the RBI Act, to give RBI the power to
direct banks to take action against the loan defaulters under the code called
Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). According to amendment the lending banks
approach the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to appoint a professional to
manage a defaulting company despite the existing board has been suspended. The
professional has to find out a solution within 180 days to repay bank loans. If
the professional is not able to find a solution within 180 days, the process
timeline would get extended by another 90 days. If a solution could not be
found within max 270 days, the company would go into liquidation.
The total bad debts in the Indian Banking System identified and reported so far
are worth
Rs.7.11 LAKH CRORES!!!
One cannot imagine the amount of loans not yet identified or for that matter
reported as NPAs. Given the history of corrupt and unscrupulous bankers, one
should not rule out this possibility and should always be cautions with the
numbers which are published. To add more fuel to this fire it has been reported
that number of NPAs with every passing day is going higher and higher,
worsening the situation with every passing day. The government has already
delayed more than 2 years to come out with any sort of solution to put this
mess in the grave. Meanwhile, during the past two years the Government has
already infused
Rs. 50,000/- crores;
as a part of the capitalization program? Whose money it is, I ask. Does the government
earn any money? NO!!!! Then on what basis the Government of India has decided
to save these brat bankers. The government has promised
Rs. 70,000/- crores in total to the Indian Banks , that means
another
Rs. 20,000/- crores will be
deployed by the end of 2018-19. Although the number
Rs. 70,000/- crores looks less in comparison
to
Rs. 7.11 lakh crores, one must
remember that the Banking system has the ability to create or generate an
investment of minimum 10 times with the deposit what they receive, because of
reserve ratios – lending ability – and withdrawals (demand on the deposits). May
be the government’s attempt was to create this sort of huge investments and
value in the economy with the infusion of
Rs.
70,000/- crores has clearly been failed? Instead of value being created,
what this system has created is more NPAs. What should have acted as a medicine
has became a poison in this slowing down economy.
It is an another
indication of the economy being slowed down and so is the demand for credit. The
defaults on credit are on the high and rising. (you may read my article: about

Before the failure could become obvious to everyone, probably it is wise to
trigger the so called NPA resolution and give it a popularity through the
media.
Also there are some loopholes and if-then situations in this resolution
process. Although, the maximum of 270 days deadline has been set for this
resolution process before the company goes into liquidation, a promoter of the
company has a right to move the High Court on various grounds, delaying the
process to find resolution or liquidation. Another possibility is how many of
those professional appointed by the NCLT would be able to understand the
business of the company in the time period of 270 days to come out with the
workable, making liquidation more certain, but only further delayed process.
Even if one finds the resolution
The Finance Minister Mr. Arun Jaitley had announced capital infusion of Rs.
10,000/- crores for the current financial year in line with the Indradhanush
scheme. I wonder why such Indradhanush does not shine for the Farmers of India?
Why only for the irresponsible Bankers and the Industrialists?
When the topic of Farmers’ loan waivers was hot in media, a famous Banker said
waiving of Farmers’ loan would encourage indiscipline in farmers. So does it
mean discipline has to be followed by the Farmers and the poor and middle class
people in the society? What about Bankers and the Industrialists? These bankers
are acting like bloody street dogs who are eating the bread of the society and
barking and biting back the society. Was it not the duty of Bankers to ensure
that the loans were granted to the companies which are financially disciplined?
The 12 defaulters listed by the government to undergo new IBC code have
defaulted to the extent of
1.78 Lakh
Crores. In short only 12 companies with these Banker’s help have managed to
fool the economy by
1.78 Lakh Crores.
The government of India is instead of punishing these bankers, supporting them.
This government is also promoting it’s governance of the country by the
performance of the stock market. How many Indians are actually benefitted by
this performance of the stock market? While economy is slowed down, let’s think
of people who have invested money in mutual funds where so called professional
managers are managing the public money. The NIFTY has moved 2500 points up from
7000 in Feb 2016 to 9500 on today’s date? i.e. 35.71% return on the people who
invested in the Index in Feb 2016. How many Mutual Funds Schemes have actually
provided return = 35%. It is the best way to measure the performance of one’s
Mutual Funds investment. If not 35%, how many Mutual Funds have provided return
of at least 25% during the last year or two years for that matter? If not, poor
and simple people of this nation are getting dragged in the so called financial
bubble in the economy. Once again I would like to re-iterate that the People of
India should really save their money which are not accessible to the corrupt
bankers or the financial service providers such as mutual funds. ( You can read
