COMMENTS
For a variety of reasons, cumulative arrears generally increase year after year as fresh
arrears are added every year. It is, however, significant that during the prerestructuring
period in 1997-98, due to sustained efforts, the arrears declined for
the first time. This achievement has not been repeated thereafter. In 1998-99, the
increase was less than 2 per cent. As against this, the increase in the post-restructuring
period has ranged between 8 to 13 per cent. This indicates a decline in performance on
this front.
