The Credit Risk Guarantee Fund Scheme aims to provide credit guarantee support to low-income households for housing loans up to Rs. 5 lakhs without collateral. It strengthens the credit delivery system to facilitate easy access to housing loans. The fund, set up by the Government of India, supports affordable housing for economically weaker sections and facilitates securitization of guaranteed loans. Eligible loans include those for home improvement, construction, or acquisition of dwelling units. Lending institutions eligible to participate include banks, cooperative banks, and housing finance institutions. By availing this scheme, lenders benefit from transferred credit risk, capital relief, and mobilization of funds through securitization, while EWS/LIG households gain credit enhancement and increased access to loans. The fund's features outline the process for availing guarantees and the responsibilities of lending institutions to ensure the smooth flow of credit to low-income housing segments.
