In case of NPA loans, the valuation of securities must be done once in three years. In performing loans, what is the period of valuation of collateral securites?

Let me explain what I had seen in practical situations in relation to tangible assets being Land / & Building whether offerd as primary or collateral security . Different Banks follow different policies in this regard . Certain Banks insist for fresh valuation once in 3 Years and some other banks once in 2 years ( Bank's mangement is free to frame this ) . Certain Banks insist for at least 2 independent valuations by their panel valuers ( For eg . SBI in the case big borrower a/cs ) . Some private sector Banks ( ICICI) have their own internal valuers whose report alone is considered . This frequency is set generally for all loans irrespective of whether it has fallen into NPA or not .
However in a case where the A/c has fallen into NPA it would be considered prudent to take a fresh valuation and such practices were seen as followed .
Kindly go through this and revert

Thanks Hareesh Sir for your guidance. So in the case of a collateral security of CC Loan - Residential Property, if valuation report is more than 3 years old, then should that account be a NPA. What will be the implications of this?

Simply because the valuation has not been done after lapse of 3 years will not make an a/c as NPA . I R A C norms alone for NPA CATEGORISATION
It is an iregularity which can be commented up on

As Per RBI Guidelines:-
Every bank is required to make policy for valuation of tangible securities.
Generally banks have a practice to do in once in three years.
And in the case of audit , it is duty of auditor for valuation of securities he should take latest report .
