If the account continues to remain overdue and all dues are not regularised by April 30, 2021, then the account gets tagged as SMA-1 as on April 30, 2021 i.e. upon completion of 30 days of being continuously overdue. If the account continues to remain overdue, account gets tagged as SMA- 2 as of May 30, 2021 and if continues to remain overdue further, accounts gets classified as NPA at day end on June 29, 2021.

   * The date(s) mentioned hereinabove are for illustrative purpose only.
In case of Cash Credit (CC)/ Overdraft (OD)/ Dropline Overdraft (DLOD) Account(s)   

i.   In a CC or OD or DLOD account, if outstanding balance remains continuously in excess of the sanctioned limit or drawing power, whichever is lower, for a period of more than 30 days -say from March 31, 2021, the account gets tagged as SMA 1 as of April 30, 2021 i.e. upon completion of 30 days of being continuously in excess. If the account continues to be remain continuously in excess, the account gets tagged as SMA-2 on May 30, 2021. If the account continues to remain in excess, account gets classified as NPA at day end of June 29, 2021.

  

ii.  In addition to (i) above, a CC or OD or DLOD account may get classified as NPA if outstanding balance in the account is less than the sanctioned limit/drawing power but there are no credits continuously for 90 days or the outstanding balance in the CC/OD account is less than the sanctioned limit/drawing power but credits are not enough to cover the interest debited during the previous 90 days period.

   * The date(s) mentioned hereinabove are for illustrative purpose only.

the Bank on 31st March 2021. If it remains unpaid, the borrower becomes SMA-0 from 31st March 2021 onwards for up to 30 days overdue, i.e. till 29th April 2021. If it continues to remain overdue as on 30th April 2021, it will be classified as SMA-1 from 30th April 2021. It remains in such SMA-1 status for cumulative overdue of 60 days, i.e. till 29th May 2021. If the overdue continues beyond 60 days (i.e. beyond 29th May 2021), from 30th May 2021 it is classifiable as SMA-2 till cumulative overdue up 89 days, i.e. till 28th June 2021. After completion of 90 days overdue period, i.e. as by day end of 29th June 2021, the borrower will be classified as NPA till the overdue is fully cleared.

Please take note that Special Mention Accounts (SMA) / Non Performing Asset (NPA) reporting is done at Borrower level as per the applicable regulatory guidelines and thus, overdue in any one account of the Borrower will result in reporting of the Borrower as SMA or NPA as the case may be.

Restructured accounts are classifiable as NPA as per RBI stipulations, whether or not there is any overdue amount pending to be paid by the borrower.
