    Solution

    When an advance has remained in the 'doubtful' category for a period of one to three years, the provisioning requirement for the secured portion is 40%. This means that the bank is required to set aside an amount equivalent to 40% of the secured portion of the doubtful asset as a provision. This provisioning reflects the increased risk and uncertainty associated with such assets and helps banks mitigate potential losses.
