ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE
(SHRI NAMO NARAIN MEENA) 

(a) & (b): The Public Sector Bank (PSB)-wise details of restructured standard advances for the period March 2010, March 2011, March 2012 are as under:

                                                                                (Amount Rs. In Crore)

Public Sector Banks

The data reporting system of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) does not collect company-wise details.

(c): The objective of restructuring is to conserve valuable financial assets in a downturn, revival of entities and ensuring safety of the funds lent by the banks. Although, the Gross Non-Performing Assets and restructuring of loans of PSBs have shown an increasing trend, at system level, they do not indicate any systemic vulnerability. The PSBs have posted a net profit of around Rs. 49,500 crore as on 31.3.2012 as against around Rs. 44,900 crore as on 31.3.2011. The Tier I Capital to Risk-weighted Asset Ratio (CRAR) of all PSBs are above the regulatory norms of 6%. As of now, there is no proposal before the Government to support funding of restructuring by PSBs
