While going through the PD arrears amounts, it is seen that the fictitious arrears are not withdrawn which results in fictitious rise in PD arrears. So you are requested to ensure withdrawal of fictitious arrears and the SD may be adjusted against the arrears so that net actual recoverable PD arrears shall be reflected in the books of accounts as per procedure.
You are also requested to exercise close monitoring for the achievement of recovery target and report compliance.
