Even during challenging times, we do not compromise on our underwriting guidelines. We are ensuring that proper appraisal guidelines are in place for all new loan schemes and products that we are introducing.
Our inhouse appraisal process for high value proposals involve review by Risk Management team. The review and further discussions are helping us to take care of the risk factors at the appraisal stage itself. The appraisal team is also getting valuable guidance from the members of Risk Management Committee which supports further strengthening of the system.
The Risk Management team collaborates with the appraisal and monitoring teams at various levels of operations. Regular interactions help in improving the quality of assets to a great extent.
We have strengthened the recovery strategising and planning by introduction of Early Warning System and other pro-active measures. We have been initiating of timely legal measures through SARFAESI Act, IBC and other legal mechanisms. These measures will be further intensified in the coming years. We are expecting further reduction in GNPA during the year which will offer leverage to maintaining our margins.
The Special Task Force and NPA warriors are employees who have been selected on the basis for their expertise and they have been tasked to handle and monitor NPA and defaults. Our results speak for itself. The Special task force is also utilised for monitoring Quick mortality loans and prevent them from slipping into NPA. NPA Warriors are being utilised to follow up loans from the moment such loans become delinquent to prevent them from slipping into NPA and to recover the same in a timely manner.
