Debt Acquisition

The Challenge- for Banks and NBFCs
Banks and NBFCs face a structural crisis in managing retail and corporate NPAs. Mounting defaults, weak recovery mechanisms, and regulatory voids create a cycle of losses.
Massive Bad Loans- Banks and NBFCs hold over ₹10.87 trillion in bad loans (2020), with retail NPAs alone accounting for nearly ₹4 trillion.
Ineffective Legal Recovery- Lenders face costly, time-consuming, and fragmented legal processes, further burdened by a lack of in-house legal expertise.
Fragmented Legal Oversight- Most ARCs focus on large corporate NPAs, leaving the vast retail unsecured market largely unaddressed.
Operational Legal Hurdles- Banks struggle with limited control over legal timelines. Enforcement is further delayed by customers spread across diverse geographies.
Regulatory Gaps- The absence of individual insolvency laws leaves lenders with no clear framework for resolving retail NPAs.
