for a period of 12 months.

account is less than the sanctioned limit / drawing power, but there are no
credits continuously for 90 days as on the date of Balance Sheet or credits are
not enough to cover the interest debited during the same period will have to
be classified as NPA as per the stipulation of Master Circular on IRAC Norms
of RBI.
5.2.8. Agricultural loan accounts, where there is no credit in the past 36 months

depending upon whether the land is cultivated for single crop or double
crops, becomes NPA if the interest / principal remain unpaid as under:

the data accuracy is ensured in CBS with regard to Drawing Power,
repayment schedules, date of stock statements, value of security etc., so that
NPAs are correctly identified in CBS itself and unrealised interest is
