RBI/2008-09/498 RPCD.CO.RF.BC.No.113/07.37.02/2008-09 June 16, 2009 All State Co-operative Banks (StCBs) and Central Co-operative Banks (CCBs) Dear Sir, Income recognition, asset classification, provisioning and other related matters Short-term agricultural advances as well as advances for other purposes are granted by State Co-operative Banks/Central Co-operative Banks to Central Co-operative Banks/Primary Agricultural Credit Societies respectively for the purpose of on-lending. As per extant instructions contained in paragraph 2 of the Annexure to our circular RPCD.No.BC.155/ 07.37.02/95-96 dated June 22, 1996, out of such advances granted under on-lending system, only that particular facility which becomes irregular is treated as NPA and not all other facilities granted to them. 2. On a review, it has been decided to extend the above concession to all other credit societies under on-lending system, in addition to Primary Agricultural Credit Societies. However, in respect of all direct loans and advances granted to a borrower, all such loans will become NPA even if one loan account becomes NPA, as hitherto. 3. Please acknowledge receipt to our Regional Office concerned. Yours faithfully, (B.P.Vijayendra) Chief General Manager |
