Q

What is a Special Mention Account (SMA)?

A

Advance showing early stress symptoms but not yet 90+ days overdue; pre-NPA early-warning system.

Q

Is provisioning required for SMA accounts?

A

No. SMA provisioning triggered only when account slips to actual NPA status (>90 days overdue).

Q

SMA classification basis: borrower-wise or account-wise?

A

Borrower-wise. SMA-2 tag on one account flags borrower's entire exposure with the bank.

Q

Define NPA (Non-Performing Asset).

A

Advance ceasing to generate income; common trigger is 90 days overdue/out-of-order status across products.

Q

When is CC/OD classified 'out of order'?

A

Balance > drawing power; no credit 90 days; or stock statements 3 months delayed/missing.

Q

Can NPA be downgraded without 12/36-month seasoning?

A

Yes, if Realisable Value of Security falls dramatically below outstanding; direct downgrade permitted.

Q

Interest recognition on NPA advances: accrual or cash basis?

A

Cash basis only. Interest booked on realisation, not accrual; non-accrual of interest applies.

Q

Account renewal/review overdue 6 months: NPA classification?

A

Yes. Treated as NPA even if account otherwise operating; 6-month overdue renewal triggers NPA.
