RBI Guidelines on NPA Classification - RBI provides detailed guidelines defining when and how loans should be classified as NPAs, emphasizing that banks must follow these norms strictly. Courts have upheld that RBI guidelines empower banks to determine NPA status based on specific criteria, and these guidelines are binding unless explicitly violated Amit Narang Suspended Director of Narang Developers Private Limited vs Aditya Birla Finance Limited - National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, Holystar Natural Resources VS Union of India - Delhi, Keshavlal Khemchand and Sons Pvt. Ltd. VS Union of India - Dishonour Of Cheque, Ind Synergy Ltd. VS Authorised Officer - Chhattisgarh.

Legal Validity of NPA Declaration - Several cases highlight that declaring an account as NPA must adhere to RBI norms. Discrepancies or deviations in classification, such as wrongful designation despite regular payments or temporary deficiencies, can be challenged in courts. Courts have found issues where banks failed to comply with RBI guidelines or improperly classified accounts, leading to judicial scrutiny LEELAMMA C A vs AUTHORIZED OFFICER - Kerala, Ess Ell Embroidery VS Bank of India - Punjab and Haryana, Morbet Health Care (P) Ltd. VS Punjab National Bank - Uttarakhand.
-
Agreements and Borrower Obligations - Co-borrowers are equally liable, and their obligations are enforceable under governing laws, reinforcing that proper legal procedures must be followed in NPA declarations Amit Narang Suspended Director of Narang Developers Private Limited vs Aditya Birla Finance Limited - National Company Law Appellate Tribunal.
-
Judicial Perspective on NPA Declaration - Courts generally support the view that RBI guidelines provide the framework for NPA classification, and any deviation or arbitrary action by banks can be challenged under judicial review, especially under Articles 226 and 14 of the Constitution. They also emphasize that the power to classify NPAs rests with banks, but within the bounds of RBI norms Technico Strips and Tubes Private Limited VS Deutsche Bank AG - Punjab and Haryana.
-
Summary and Conclusion - Declaring an account as NPA in violation of RBI guidelines is contestable in courts. Proper adherence to RBI norms is essential, and deviations can render NPA declarations unlawful. Courts have consistently held that any classification must be based on objective criteria set by RBI, and improper classification can be challenged on legal grounds.
