 666 From Page 1 “This Government informed in Parliament that NPAs have gone up to 10.3 lakh crore till March 2018 and it is now at 12 lakh crore. So, simple mathematics tells us that 9.17 lakh crore of NPAs were in 56 months of Modi Government,” he said. He added that even if what Rajan said about bad loans originat- ing in 2006 was considered true, they still only were 2.83 lakh crore till the UPA demit- ted office and this amount was manageable. “Hold the UPA accountable for the 2.83 lakh crore but will you hold the Modi Government responsible for the 9.17 lakh crore?” he asked. In his note Rajan said over-optimistic bankers and a slowdown in Government decision making, which had popularly been dubbed as “pol- icy paralysis” before the 2014 elections were behind the mounting bad loan mess. Stating that the economy in the period 2006-2008 was strong, Rajan said that “banks make mistakes” at such times. “They extrapolate past growth and performance to the future. So they are willing to accept higher leverage in pro- jects, and less promoter equi- ty. Sometimes bank sign up to lend based on project reports by the promoter’s investment bank, without doing their own due diligence,” according to Rajan. Citing an example, the former RBI Governor said, “One promoter told me about how he was pursued by banks waving cheque books, asking him to name the amount he wanted.” This was a historic phenomenon of irrational exu- berance, common across coun- tries at such a phase in the cycle, he added.
