Could be if it fails the sppi test because it includes principal payments.

Dear Yasaswi and Sourav,
Thank you for your response.
My query is whether company can provide interest (.i.e Interest provision on outstanding principle and Interest) who's account is NPA.
If provided what will be the consequences or vice-versa.
It will be grateful if you can provide reference to any AS, Ind AS or Guidance note.

IndAS it is possible. But it is advisable not to create too many provisions. Incase if you want to provide for it
Accrued interest payable a/c
To Provision a/c
(this is possible if your loan account is not closed and your financial guarantee not impounded)
or else you can leave it in the accrued interest account. I need to verify with the document what will happen and treatment for financial guarantee becoming NPA. I’ll get back if anything important is there soon.
Meantime, if the loan is completely closed, write off financial guarantee loss.

B4.1.13- treatment is prescribed here for various types of debt. Also banks collateral treatment is given in B5.4.9 (I’m sure there is no special IndAS for banks)
