19. Other aspects Reasonable growth Limited to few pockets So far low focus on this activity Lack of awareness amongst public Farmers using highly subsidized (5%) KCC funds for housing Not covering non farmers/salaried class/low income/disadvantaged groups Need product differentiation as per segments 19supgb

20. 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 20supgb

21. 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. 21supgb

22. 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

23. 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 23supgb

24. 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. 24supgb
