In a recent directive issued by the Madhyanchal Gramin Bank, branch managers overseeing branches with NPAs exceeding ₹20 lakh have been instructed to organize night camps twice a week for NPA recovery.

The letter dated January 18, 2024 stated that, “Where the branch-level NPA amount exceeds ₹20 lakh, night camps must be organized weekly to facilitate recovery. The camp will receive necessary support from the regional and head offices to ensure its success.”
The directive in the SBI-sponsored RRB comes at a pivotal moment amidst ongoing debates and discussions surrounding the disruption of work-life balance in RRBs.
The directive mandating branches to implement weekly night camp plans clearly reflects the growing pressure for NPA recovery, prompting the use of unconventional methods.
