Idle assets are assets that are lying unused or that are not earning any income. Any asset that is unused or not appreciating in value can be considered an idle asset. For example when you place cash in your vault, it can be considered an idle asset. It is not being used for anything and nor is it increasing in value. If we had invested it somewhere or atleast deposited it in a bank, it would be earning interest and hence we could not term it idle. Now since it is just lying there in the vault it can be considered idle.
