UCO Bank NPA resolution — the four paths
If your UCO Bank loan is NPA, four resolution paths exist: One Time Settlement, restructuring, ARC takeover, or contesting through SARFAESI / DRT. This guide explains how each plays out inside UCO Bank — driven by UCO's actual recovery machinery, not generic textbook theory.
