Study Notes

Reference Study Material for Promotion Exercise 2025-26

  • This booklet supplements learning efforts for promotion aspirants.
  • Topics are indicative in nature, and readers should refer to Bank Circulars, SOPs, and policy guidelines.
  • Avoid using this booklet as an instruction manual.
  • Information is based on previous trends, not an exhaustive guide.

Overview

  • Public Sector Banks (PSBs) experienced excessive stress in their loan portfolios.
  • Hidden stress, particularly in Standard Restructured Assets (SRAs), became apparent in 2015.
  • This led the Government to implement a 4-R strategy (Recognizing NPAs, Resolution & Recovery, and Reforms).
  • Recognizing hidden stress as NPAs, significant recoveries, and provisions against NPAs have improved PSB balance sheets.
  • A common PSB Reforms Agenda (EASE), with 30 action points, is tracking progress using the EASE Reforms Index.

Recognition

  • Since FY09, stressed assets in PSBs rose to 12% of gross advances.
  • This included 7% in SRAs (hidden).
  • Subsequent transparent NPA (Non-performing Asset) recognition and the withdrawal of credit forbearance reduced hidden SRAs.
  • NPAs for PSBs increased from 5.0% to 13.7% of gross advances between 2009 and 2019.

Reducing Stress

  • The IBC (Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code) reduced NPAs from 8.96 lakh crore (FY18) to 8.64 lakh crore (Q3 FY19).
  • This was 70 basis points reduction in Q3 FY19 compared to RBI projected 50 basis point YOY reduction.

Record Growth in Recovery

  • NPA resolution and recovery processes have improved due to the IBC.
  • PSBs have set up Stressed Asset Management Verticals (SAMVs) to manage high-value NPA accounts and this resulted in 89% of high-value NPA cases to SAMVs, up from 35% in 2018.
  • This ensures timelier decision-making and dedicated resources for large NPA cases.
  • Banks have filed suits and register acts against wilful defaulters to discourage future defaults.

Recapitalization

  • The Government infused approximately ₹2.5 lakh crore into PSBs from FY15 until February 2019.
  • This recapitalization alongside improved financial performance bolsters PSBs' positions in the market.

Driving Clean & SMART Banking

  • The Government initiated system-wide reforms to improve transparency and accountability in the banking system.
  • This includes freezing accounts of inactive companies.
  • PSBs now collect details of key borrowers to strengthen risk management.
  • Initiatives like GST databank access improve data quality for informed lending decisions.

Enabling Transformative Reforms

  • The recommendations from PSB Manthan (2017), including representatives from PSBs and the government, led to 30 action points for the EASE Reforms Agenda.
  • A comprehensive, independent, and benchmarked EASE Reforms Index is used to measure progress in the 6 themes. This Index tracks 140 metrics.
  • Quarterly Board Reviews, along with the Index, help track and improve EASE Reforms in all PSBs.
  • Workshops are held for peer-to-peer knowledge sharing of best practices.

Digital Banking

  • Increased adoption of mobile and internet banking by PSBs.
  • Services are provided through Bank Mitras to enhance last-mile access, with 87% of large PSB customers able to receive service in their regional language.
  • Digitization of transactions has improved with the inclusion of more features in mobile apps and online platforms.
  • Enhanced digital services increased transactions by over 80% YOY in Q3 FY19.

EASE Reforms Index

  • Provides comparative evaluation of PSBs on 140 metrics.
  • A transparent methodology enables banks to track progress and identify improvement areas.

EASE Reforms Index Themes

  • PSB Performance is measured across Customer Responsiveness, Responsible Banking, Credit Off-take, Udyami Mitra for MSME, Deepening Financial Inclusion and Digitalisation, & Development of Personnel for Brand PSB.

PSB Balance Sheets

  • Significant increase in recapitalization by the Government.
  • This led to infusions of nearly ₹70,000 crores over 4 years (Indradhanush Plan).
  • PSBs increased capital base through equity capital raising and asset monetization.

Performance of Banks under PCA (Prompt & Corrective Action)

  • PCA banks improved performance by focusing on deleveraging, improving lending practices, and accelerating recovery.
  • This led to successful improvement in responsible banking.
