    Solution

      Under the IRAC guidelines, when an asset has been classified as NPA for a period of less than or equal to 12 months, it is considered a "Substandard Asset." These assets are at risk, but there is still a possibility of recovery. Banks are required to make a provision of 15% for substandard assets to account for the potential loss.
