Public sector NPAs of loans issued under the scheme have increased by Rs 9,204.14 crore in just one year – from Rs 7,277.31 crore in March 2018 to Rs 16,481.45 crore in March 2019.

New Delhi:
The non-performing assets (NPAs) under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ambitious Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) doubled within one year. This information was obtained through an RTI petition filed by The Wire.

In a written reply to the Rajya Sabha given on February 12, minister of state for finance Shiv Pratap Shukla wrote that as of March 31, 2018, the total value of NPAs held by public sector banks under PMMY was Rs 7,277.31 crore.

The RTI filed by The Wire reveals that as of March 31, 2019, the total value of NPAs from loans issued under the Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency Ltd. (MUDRA) stood at Rs 16,481.45 crore.

This means that public sector NPAs of the loans issued under the Mudra scheme have increased by Rs 9,204.14 crore in just one year.

Under the Mudra scheme, 30.57 lakh accounts have been declared as NPAs. According to an Indian Express report, as of March 31, 2018, the number of NPA accounts was 17.99 lakh. In just one year, the number of NPA accounts has increased by 12.58 lakh.

Although the value of NPAs is not very high in comparison to the total value of all loans issued under the Mudra scheme, it is nonetheless steadily increasing.

According to an IANS report published on January 13, the Reserve Bank of India had warned the finance ministry that the Mudra scheme could become a major contributor to NPAs.

According to the data obtained from the RTI, loans amounting to Rs 3.11 lakh crore in total were issued between April 1, 2018 and March 31, 2019. That means that the value of NPAs amounts to 2.89% of the total value of all loans.

According to an RBI circular, failure to pay 90 days after the last date for the payment of an installment leads to an account being declared as an NPA.

Harshit Agrawal, assistant manager of Mudra Ltd., said, “In case of national banks, this deadline is 90 days, while the deadline is 120 days for NBFCs and MFIs. These rules apply to all types of loans, Mudra or otherwise.”
