Our previous report discussed the trend of indirect evergreening at Indian banks, where some banks try to delay the recognition of bad loans and create the appearance of recovery by routing funds through related parties. The article noted that such loans are more prone to default and can increase risks to bank shares and broader financial stability, making regulatory oversight and asset quality assessments all the more important.
