a. Any of the borrowal account of the enterprise remains NPA for three months or more
OR
b. There is erosion in the net worth due to accumulated losses to the extent of 50% of its net worth during the previous accounting year.
The criteria will enable banks to detect sickness at an early stage and facilitate corrective action for revival of the unit.
