State Bank of India (Rs 2,168 crore), Punjab National Bank (Rs 1,165 crore) and Bank of India (Rs 1,360 crore) had the maximum NPAs arising out of the small scale industries. In percentage terms, NPAs from the small scale industries were highest for Central Bank of India (37.5 per cent), Union Bank of India (33.6 per cent) and Punjab National Bank (36.3 per cent), the RBI report on trends and progress for 2009-10, released on Monday showed.
