Amount not returned becomes NPA

NPA i.e. Non-Performing Asset is a bank loan or credit which the borrowing person or organization is unable to repay on time. In simple language, if a person or company does not repay the loan installment or interest taken from the bank for 90 days or more, then that loan becomes NPA.
