About NPA
- A nonperforming asset (NPA) refers to a classification for loans or advances that are in default or in arrears.
- A loan is in arrears when principal or interest payments are late or missed.
- A loan is in default when the lender considers the loan agreement to be broken and the debtor is unable to meet his obligations.
- In most cases, debt is classified as nonperforming when loan payments have not been made for a period of 90 days.
- Nonperforming assets are listed on the balance sheet of a bank or other financial institution.
- After a prolonged period of non-payment, the lender will force the borrower to liquidate any assets that were pledged as part of the debt agreement.
- If no assets were pledged, the lender might write-off the asset as a bad debt and then sells it at a discount to a collection agency.
