1/ Just finished meeting with a Dhule based SME entrepreneur who's "finished" due to #DeMo aka notebandi. Also insensitive bankers.
2/ The gentleman is a third generation onion trader. Uses to be a Really big trader. He allowed his son to set up SME for onion dehydration
3/ Being in onion business, he knew his onions. So a state of the art , modern manufacturing plant was set up, part funded by bank.
4/ As usual, the unit was under financed. Short WC funding is a constant feature of bank loans to SMEs. The liquidity of onion trading
5/ facilitated the working of the industry. Things were going well. Then on Nov 8 , the Tughlak did DeMo. The liquidity dried up.
6/ No money to continue production. Bank unwilling to help promptly. Despite having credentials, couldn't get funds. Reason ????
7/ Again : #DeMo. The banker busy in handling cash and the large queues. No time for development banking. By March 17, the Banker got crazy
8/ The account was turning NPA. He wanted money , anyhow. Poor guy had to sell part of the 500 Tonnes dehydrated onion @27 to 35/- per kg
9/ Only misfortune : his coat of production of it was Rs. 85/- per kg. NPA classification was averted in March. But he had no money for WC
10/ Ultimately, the account turned NPA in September. 13(2) Notice issued. An honest entrepreneur brought to disaster. For no fault.
11/ Now begins his struggle to save industry, his house, his honor, his dignity. Depressing story. Only because one idiot who was made to
12/12 believe in a hare brained idea by a few idiots. The 10 Cr investment lies unutilized. 70 workers remain jobless. The nation, hopeless😖

Let's talk about NPAs :

On 8th April 2004, Soli J.Sorabjee, the then Ld Attorney General, arguing for Union of India, convinced a Constitution Bench of SC to uphold the Sarfaesi Act, 2002 by citing a pressing need to curb NPAs, which had risen to Rs. 1 lac crore
2/n
It was submitted before the SC that the enactment of RDDB Act, 1993 & establishment of DRTs has been unable to stop the rise in NPAs. Mr. Salve chipped in with a talk on International practices.

The SC agreed. A harsh, draconian law was upheld.
indiankanoon.org/doc/1059476/
3/n
It was upheld with a stated objective of "reducing" the NPAs. A lot of existing protections under laws & principles of natural justice were allowed to be trampled by banks and financial institutions to address the pressing need of 'reducing the 1 lac crores of NPAs'.
