RBI advises banks from time to time, to take effective measures to strengthen the credit appraisal and post-credit
monitoring to arrest the incidence of fresh NPAs and adopt a more realistic approach to reduce the existing and
chronic NPAs in all categories. RBI also monitors the NPA levels in banks on an ongoing basis. Each bank is required
to have a loan recovery policy. Banks follow several procedures to ensure recovery of the outstanding amount which may include, formal negotiations followed by restructuring of the payment schedule for interest as well as principal, calling back of the loan through a legal notice, recovery by recourse to the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest (SARFAESI) Act, 2002 filing suit for recovery, including suits in the Debt Recovery Tribunals (DRTs), Lok Adalats, entering into One Time Settlement (OTS) proposals or compromise settlement, etc.
