Nearly 9 per cent of the education loans extended by public sector banks (PSBs) were categorised as non-performing assets in the last financial year, according to the government. 

"As per information provided by Indian Banks' Association (IBA), NPAs of PSBs increased from 7.29 per cent as on March 31, 2016 to 8.97 per cent as on March 31, 2018," Minister of State for Finance Shiv Pratap Shukla said in a written reply to Lok Sabha. 

He was replying to a question whether non-performing assets (NPAs) in education sector rose to 9 per cent during the two years period (2016-18).
