The RBIs revised norms stipulate that starting from FY25, provisions for NPAs must be recognized as expenses in the Profit Loss PL account in the period they are incurred. This marks a shift from previous practices where such provisions could be created from net profit rather than being directly charged to the PL account. These norms aim to ensure uniform treatment and prudential management of NPAs across different types of cooperative banks.
