Basis the said interim order, the Bank has not classified any account (whether granted moratorium or not) which was not NPA as of August 31, 2020 as per the RBI IRAC norms, as NPA after August 31, 2020. Further, in light of the Interim Order, even accounts that would have otherwise been classified as NPA post August 31, 2020 have not been and will not be, classified as NPA till such time that the Hon’ble SC rules finally on the matter.
