Sir, Guidelines
on purchase / sale of Non Performing Assets Please
refer to our Circular No. DBOD.BP.BC.16/21.04.048/2005-06
dated 13 July 2005 on the captioned subject. In terms of Para 5(iii) of the
circular, the banks were advised that the estimated cash flows are normally expected
to be realised within a period of three years and not less than 5% of the estimated
cash flows should be realised in each half year. 2.
The matter has been reviewed in response to difficulties expressed by banks. In
partial modification of the above guidelines, it has now been decided that at
least 10% of the estimated cash flows should be realized in the first year and
at least 5% in each half year thereafter, subject to full recovery within three
years. The revised guidelines come into force immediately. All other conditions
stipulated in the aforesaid circular remain unchanged. 3. Please
acknowledge receipt. Yours
faithfully, (Prashant
