There is difference between loan being NPA and loan's being time Barred.If the documents of loan are within the limitation ,no revival letter is required for filing a civil suit. It is required only when the loan documents have become time barred, one requires revival letter to give extension to the last date for filing of a civil suit.As of loan becoming NPA, it can become NPA even after default of promised repayment is not made for 3 monthly installments.
