The Covid-19 pandemic has led to financial stress and crisis to major sections in our country. The scheme was launched to help the borrowers who are under stress. Launched in November, the scheme will be in force till 31st January 2021.
The concession in this scheme is the best in the history of the banking industry, and will be beneficial for loan defaulters among agriculturists, SME borrowers and education loan borrowers.
The major attractions of this scheme are-
1. Waiver of notional interest from the date on which the account became a non-performing asset.
2. Waiver of legal and other out-of-pocket charges.
Let us learn a little more about the scheme after understanding the categorization of loan defaulters. The defaulters are generally classified as Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) by the bank. And by the period of the account in default, they are categorized as-
1.Sub Standard Assets (SSA): In this category, the loan is in default for a period of one year from the date it is classified as Non-Performing Asset.
2.Doubtful Assets-1 (D1): In this category, the loan is in default for one more year after remaining in Sub Standard Assets category.
3.Doubtful Assets-2 (D2): In this category, the loan is in default for 2 more years after remaining in D1 category.
4. Doubtful Assets-3 (D3): All the Non-performing Assets above the period in D2 category.
Moreover, the loan accounts are classified as secured and unsecured based on the condition of security available or not available for the loan.
The scheme will be applicable to-
A. Unsecured Substandard Assets (SSA) with a limit sanctioned up to Rs. 3 lacs in Agri segment, Rs. 4 lacs in education loans, and Rs. 10 lacs in SME segment, classified as Sub Standard Asset on or before 31.03.2019.
B. Doubtful Assets (All three- D1, D2 & D3) with an outstanding amount up to Rs. 20 lacs in all segments, except home loans, classified as doubtful assets on or before 31.03.2020.
C. Home loans sanctioned except CMRH (Bhopal) up to Rs. 5 lacs in doubtful category as on 31.03.2020.
The concession for-
a. Sub Standard Assets is for the outstanding balance as on 31.12.2019 along with uncollected interest up to the date of classification of the account as Non Performing Asset.
b. Doubtful Assets is for the outstanding balance as on 31.03.2020 along with uncollected interest up to the date of classification of the account as Non Performing Asset.
