According to Rajnish Kumar, MD & CEO of State Bank of India, the Centre, banks and the judiciary too played a role in India’s piled up non-performing assets (NPA).
“I would say everybody is responsible, be it the bankers, be it the industry or borrowers, be it the government, and without inviting contempt of the court, even the judiciary has played a role in this situation,”
Addressing a banking conference in Mumbai, Rajnish Kumar said.

Delayed response by bankers was also a factor in aggravated NPAs, he said.
