NPA refers to loans that are at risk of default, such as when interest or principal payments are overdue. NPAs are classified as sub-standard, doubtful, or loss assets. They cause problems for banks by reducing returns for depositors and shareholders, tying up funds, and potentially causing liquidity issues. Banks address NPAs through restructuring loans, debt recovery tribunals, legal actions, training programs, and even winding up proceedings for borrowers.
