Valuation for NPA, IBC, and Liquidation Purposes:
According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the gross non-performing assets in Indian banks, specifically in public sector banks, are valued at around Rs 400,000 crore (~US$61.5 billion), which represents 90% of the total NPA in India, with private sector banks accounting for the remainder.
What Is a Nonperforming Asset (NPA)?
A nonperforming asset (NPA) refers to a classification for loans or advances that are in default or in arrears. A loan is in arrears when principal or interest payments are late or missed. A loan is in default when the lender considers the loan agreement to be broken and the debtor is unable to meet his obligations.
-
Money or assets provided by banks to companies as loans sometimes remain unpaid by borrowers. This late or non-payment of loans is defined as Non-Performing Assets (NPA). They are also termed as bad assets.
-
In India, the RBI monitors the entire banking system and, as defined by the country’s central bank, if for a period of more than 90 days, the interest or installment amount is overdue then that loan account can be termed a Non-Performing Asset.

Liquidation Valuation Definition
Liquidation valuation is the value of a company that is bankrupt or going out of business. It is the value of the company’s assets, according to what they would be worth if they are sold off in order to repay creditors. This is in contrast to going concern value, which assumes the company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The difference between going concern value and liquidation value consists of intangible assets and goodwill.
