2018 was a difficult year for banks – their reputations suffered massively after it came to light that most of them had large NPAs, sins they committed knowingly. One year prior, in 2017-18, the gross NPA ratio of all scheduled commercial banks reached 11.2percent of the gross advances, up from 9.3 percent a year before.
