    Solution

    An asset is classified as substandard if it has remained a Non-Performing Asset (NPA) for a period less than or equal to 12 months. This means that the borrower has failed to make the required principal and/or interest payments for up to 12 months. Substandard assets have well-defined credit weaknesses that pose a risk to the bank's ability to recover the debt. If these weaknesses are not corrected, the bank is likely to incur some loss.
