This is simply sensationalising the issue.
When loans/advances are extended, which is not fully backed by tangible securities, there will be default and consequently there will be write off and loss.
No bank can fully extend loans only with more than hundred percent tangible security.
You can't deny loans to industries/agriculture/export based on the viability of the project.
Write off should be analysed on the following metric : Total Advances for industry - In that, percentage of NPA i.e. Gross NPA - Out of this how much is written off?
Calculating written off only from the individual borrowal accounts is similar to ignoring all the profits you have made from other performing advances and making alarm of NPA write offs.
Politicians can mislead public with such figures, but as bankers we should analyse objectively.
