Managing Bad Loans: Practical Strategies for Individuals and Financial Institutions
Managing Bad Loans: Practical Strategies for Individuals and Financial Institutions Bad loans—or “non-performing loans (NPLs)”—are not limited to banks and financial institutions; they can also occur in personal, business, cooperative, or group settings. In simple terms, a bad loan arises when a borrower fails to repay their debt on time. The inability to manage such loans can disrupt personal finances, business operations, and even mental well-being. In Nepal, growing household debt, delayed business repayments, and rising NPLs in banks highlight the importance of understanding debt management.

Bad Loans Surge in Nepal’s Commercial Banks; Recovery Struggles Intensify as NPLs Touch 4.86 Percent
Bad Loans Surge in Nepal’s Commercial Banks; Recovery Struggles Intensify as NPLs Touch 4.86 Percent The financial health of Nepal’s commercial banks has come under renewed strain as bad loans continue to mount. In the first quarter of the ongoing fiscal year 2082/83 (mid-July to mid-October 2025), the average non-performing loan (NPL) ratio of 15 commercial banks climbed to 4.86 percent, a notable rise from 4.04 percent recorded during the same period of the previous fiscal year. Bankers and analysts attribute the rise to a combination of loan recovery challenges, economic slowdown, and the disruptive effect of the Gen Z protest movement, which has reportedly impeded field-level debt collection and business operations across several districts. The result is a sharp increase in overdue loans, placing additional stress on already cautious financial institutions.
