Other aspectsReasonable growthLimited to few pocketsSo far low focus on this activityLack of awareness amongst publicFarmers using highly subsidized (5%) KCC

funds for housingNot covering non farmers/salaried class/low

income/disadvantaged groupsNeed product differentiation as per segments

19supgb

Other aspects ….Need to have specialized loan processing manpower

High potential available in the command areas

Average amount per loan to be enhanced

Proposing housing finance hubs at Noida/Ghaziabad/Meerut/Jhansi

Proposing score based model for sanctioning to reach scale

A few suggestionsApplication 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.

21supgb

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.

22supgb

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

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.
