A few suggestions • Application of interest be allowed up to annual basis depending on the harvesting of crops in stead of monthly basis as recently allowed in gold loans. • Asset classification norms for rural housing loans be allowed as applicable to Agriculture advances as the repayment is mostly based on proceeds of crops. supgb
A few suggestions…… • Clean housing loans up to Rs 50000 be allowed for those having assured income eg salaried /self employed who have no other assets to mortgage. • A Credit Guarantee Scheme for small housing loans can help to cover larger number of low income households. • 1991 census limit of 50000 population be shifted to 2001 census base with higher population level. supgb
A few suggestions……. • GJRHS be given common publicity in vernacular press • NHB refinance be allowed on portfolio basis removing loan wise clauses from Memorandum of Agreement especially for small loans up to Rs 10 lakhs supgb
A thought • With 96 % home ownership, rural people are investing short term funds for housing sector. • More rural housing finance can help have major impact on their life styles. supgb
