    D NPAs are loans that have defaulted on repayment, while stressed assets are loans that are at risk of defaulting Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The main difference between a non-performing asset (NPA) and a stressed asset in India is that NPAs are loans that have defaulted on repayment, while stressed assets are loans that are at risk of defaulting. An NPA is a loan where the principal or interest payment is overdue for more than 90 days, while a stressed asset is a loan where there is a likelihood of the borrower defaulting on payment due to various factors such as financial distress, change in management, or regulatory issues, among others. Therefore, option D is correct.
