Gross non-performing assets refer to the total amount of the debts that an organization has failed to collect or the people owing the organization has failed to honor their contractual obligations of paying both the principal and interest amount.

On the other hand, net-non performing loans is the amount that results after deducting provision for doubtful and unpaid debts from the sum of the loans defaulted. It is the actual loss that the organization incurs after loan defaults.

Non-performing loans are listed as default after ninety days which is internationally recognised. Any amount that is due after the ninety-day grace period is classified as a default. However, net-non performing asset does not have a grace period and is immediately calculated and classified as a net non-performing asset.
