This directed credit programme was successful from the government's point of view but it affected commercial banks in a bad manner. Basically it deteriorated the quality of loan, resulted in a shift from the security oriented loan to purpose oriented. Banks were given a huge target of priority sector lending, etc. ultimately leading to profit erosion of banks.…

    Two of the main macroeconomic objectives are low inflation rates and high economic growth. In an economy inflation is the persistent increase in price levels over a period of time while economic growth is an increase in real GDP (value of economic output adjusted for inflation). Most times, government stifles economic growth as they disregard it to concentrate solemnly on finding a solution for high inflation. This is presently one of India’s greatest problems as it struggles to combat the “8-month high” rate of 7% that has engulfed the country. Pursuing a contractionary monetary policy, thus managing the economy through an increase in interest rates may although help in reducing inflation will also simultaneously slow down the economic growth. India’s central bank is therefore in the midst of an endeavor to balance out the two primary policy goals.…

    Their second vertical of “General Banking” should particularly provide loans to SMEs and MSMEs under priority sector lending. As their penetration is high in Eastern India, particularly West Bengal, most of their 600 branches should be targeting this area. The low income states, namely Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and UP, and North-eastern states amount to INR 3.2 trillion of the viable and addressable debt demand which is 32.3%1 of the debt demand in the MSME sector.
