‘There is a lack of professionalism in the rating of borrowers’
The banking sector has been under pressure with rising non-performing assets through the last year. Mr Sarkar gives his views on some of these issues in this interview. Excerpts:
On the NPA situation
Some of the big accounts are under stress. NPAs are certainly a cause of concern. We have reduced rates for SMEs, as in some cases the rate of interest appears to be quite high. This is because the accounts are not rated and the internal rating also differs with each bank.
In some cases, the balance-sheet of the SME is not strong while some have less internal capacity. There is a lack of professionalism in the rating of the borrowers. Therefore, firstly, some sort of counselling is required. Secondly, supervision cost is also high. Therefore, banks must screen the borrowers properly.

It is a shame to learn that, our brilliant bank officers, promoted to cushy designations and cadres of senior managers, chief managers, etc. could make such a brilliant score in making recoveries of loans. This can be attributed to two reasons,
1. Getting promotions through mollycoddling and
2. Sanctioning of loans through quid pro que arrangements.
