NPA on Rise …Think about it !

Finance Ministry expects the gross NPA levels of PSBs to go up substantially in the current fiscal because many restructured accounts of previous years may turn into NPAs this fiscal.

Meanwhile, the gross NPA level of new private sector banks increased to Rs 13,772 crore in end March 2010 from a level of Rs 10,419 crore in end March 2008. The gross NPAs of old private sector banks stood at Rs 3,612 crore in end March 2010, higher than the level of Rs 2,557 crore in end March 2008.

The gross NPA level of PSBs stood at Rs 57,301 crore as of end March 2010, much higher than the level of Rs 39,749 crore in end March 2008.

Per capita income in India is Rs 46,492

Per capita income of Indians grew by 14.5 per cent to Rs 46,492 in 2009-10 from Rs 40,605 in the year-ago period, as per the revised data released by the government today.

 The new per capita income figure estimates on current market prices is over Rs 2,000 more than the previous estimate of Rs 44,345 calculated by the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO).

Per capita income means earnings of each Indian if the national income is evenly divided among the country’s population at 117 crore.

However, the increase in per capita income was only about 6 per cent in 2009-10 if it is calculated on the prices of 2004-05 prices, which is a better way of comparison and broadly factors inflation.

Per capita income (at 2004-05 prices) stood at Rs 33,731 in FY10 against Rs 31,801 in the previous year, the latest data on national income said.

The size of the economy at current prices rose to Rs 61,33,230 crore in the last fiscal, up 16.1 per cent over Rs 52,82,086 crore in FY’09.

Based on 2004-05 prices, the Indian economy expanded by 8 per cent during the fiscal ended March 2010. This is higher than 6.8 per cent growth in fiscal 2008-09.

The country’s population increased to 117 crore at the end of March 2010, from 115.4 crore in fiscal 2008-09.
