  1. NPA cause and remedies are Banks and financial institutions in India have been facing the problems of non-performing assets or NPA for a long time. Among several reasons behind this problem, irrational lending and process flaws are the prominent ones. After 2008, banks started giving loans extensively to increase their business.
