5.CONCEPTS & ILLUSTRATIONS ON DUE DATES AND SPECIFICATION OF SMA /NPA CLASSIFICATION DATES
  1. Dues shall mean the principal/interest/any charges levied on the loan account which are payable within the period stipulated as per the terms of sanction of the credit facility.
  2. Overdue shall mean the principal/interest/any charges levied on the loan account which are payable, but have not been paid within the period stipulated as per the terms of sanction of the credit facility. In other words, any amount due to the bank under any credit facility is 'overdue' if it is not paid on the due date fixed by the bank.
  3. Non-Performing Asset (NPA) - is a loan or an advance where
    1. interest and /or instalment of principal remains overdue for a period of more that 90 days in respect of a term loan.
    2. the account remains 'out of order' as indicated below in respect of an Overdraft/Cash credit (OD/CC).
  4. "First In First Out" (FIFO) - The relevance of ' First in First Out ' (FIFO) is in appropriation of payments into the borrowal account; The Principle of FIFO i.e., ' First In First Out accounting method is relevant to arrive at the No of days of overdue for determining the SMA/NPA status. The FIFO principle assumes that, the oldest outstanding dues in the loan account needs to be cleared first. The FIFO method thus requires that what is due first must be paid by the borrower first.
    For example:- If in any loan account as on 01.02.2021 there are no overdues and an amount of Rs. X is due for payment towards principal instalment/interest/charges any payment being credited on or after 01.02.2021 in the loan account will be used to payoff the dues outstanding on 01.02.2021. Assuming that nothing is paid/or there is partial payment (Rs Y) of dues during the month of February, the overdue as on 01.03.2021 will be Rs. X-Y. Additionally, an amount of Rs Z becomes due as on 01.03.2021. Now any payment partial payment into the account on or after 01.03.2021 will be first utilized to payoff the partial due o f 01.02,2021(Rs X- Rs Y). If there is more recovery that the Rs. X- Rs.Y then after r ecovering dues of 01.02.201, the remaining amount will be treated as recovery towards d ue of 01.03.2021.
  5. Age of Oldest Dues - The age of oldest dues is reckoned in days from the date on which the oldest payment is due and continues to remain unpaid. In the aforesaid illustration, if the Dues relating to 1st February 2021 remain unpaid till 01.03.2021, the age of the oldest dues is reckoned as 29 days on 02.03.2021.
  6. Classification as Special Mention Account (SMA) and Non-Performing Asset (NPA) Lending institutions will recognize the incipient stress in loan accounts, immediately on Default, by classifying them as Special Mention Accounts (SMA) The basis of classification o f SMA /NPA Category shall be as follows:
    Loans other than revolving facilitiesLoans in the nature of revolving facilities like cash credit/overdraft
    SMA Sub- categoriesBasis for classification - Principal or interest pa yment or any other am ount wholly or partly overdueSMA Sub- categoriesBasis for classification - Outstanding balance remains continuously in excess of the sanctioned limit or drawing power, whichever is lower, for a period of:
    SMA-0Upto 30 days
    SMA-1More than 30 days and upto 60 daysSMA-1More than 30 days and upto 60 days
    SMA-2More than 60 days and upto 90 daysSMA-2More than 60 days and upto 90 days

    Out of Order - An account shall be treated as ' out of order ' if
    1. the outstanding balance in the CC/OD account remains continuously in excess of the sanctioned limit /drawing power for 90 days or
    2. the outstanding balance in the CC/OD account is less than the sanctioned limit/drawing power but there are no credits continuously for 90 days or the outstanding balance in the CC/OD account is less that the sanctioned limit/drawing power but credits are not enough to cover the interest debited during the precious 90 power but credits are not enough to cover the interest debited during the previous 90 days period

"The loan account shall be classified as Non-Performing Asset (NPA) as per the extant RBI Circulars/Regulations when the payment of instalment (principal and/or interest) remains overdue for more than 90 days, that is, the loan account will be marked as NPA on the 91st day of continuous default from the original Due Date. For example, If the due date of a loan account is March 31, 2021, and full dues are not received before the lending institution runs the day-end process for this date, the date of overdue shall be March 31, 2021. If it continues to remain overdue, then this account shall get tagged as SMA-1 upon running the day-end process on April 30,2021 i.e., upon completion of 30 days of being continuously overdue. Accordingly, the date of SMA-1 classification for that account shall be April 30, 2021. Similarly, if the account continues to remain overdue, it shall get tagged as SMA2 upon running day-end process on May 30, 2021 and if it continues to remain overdue further, it shall get classified as NPA upon running day-end process on June 29, 2021"
