RBI ACTION POINTS Regional Office, RBI Raipur has sent following action points for Banks and Government with regard to the above Special SLBC meeting : It was informed that some banks were insisting on introduction for accounts to be opened by traders, which was not in line with the Reserve Bank guidelines issued in December Banks should follow the RBI guidelines in letter and spirit. Chhattisgarh has a large number of SHGs who need credit linkage with banks. There is need to ensure availability of adequate amount of credit in a proper manner to different sectors of the state. The relatively deprived population should also have access to credit facility. There should be state specific target for lending to Small and Medium farmers, say of 10% of total credit. The private sector banks have not really done their bit in the development of the state in general and lending to small and medium farmers in specific. The MSME sector also does not get its due share of credit. Student loans are not always given without collateral, despite RBI norms for the same. Banks need to adopt and promote the JLG model in the state (in line with the Gujrat model) so as to ensure that more and more people get credit facility. SLBC convener should work out a plan in the next two months in this regard. Each bank may have a nodal officer for monitoring the progress of the JLGs formed and financed. Bankers are not followintg zero balance account norms. Despite customers opening no frill accounts, banks ask for some balance in these accounts. All above action points have been circulated to all banks and reviewed / deliberated in RBI meeting on held at Hotel Babylon, Raipur. If house decides, the above points or some of them can be continued as agenda item in next SLBC meetings. Page 9 of 31

Prime Minister s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) There are three Sponsoring Agencies, KVIC,KVIB and DIC. KVIC, KVIB and DIC have given margin money utilization target of crore for both the agencies for the FY The Target was allotted in August' 2013 but revised target received in Novemeber'13. In this scheme the system of Applications and their disbursal has been changed and now right from Applications to disbursal will be done through etracking and the system has already started. The progress in PMEGP is very less due to non submission of cases as well as less sanction done by the various banks. On the lines of NRLM, the sensitization of field staff, Branch Managers of Banks and sponsoring agencies will enhance the progress. c. Swaran Jayanti Shahri Swarojgar Yojna (SJSRY) The SJSRY scheme has been bifurcated into two categories i.e. USEP and UWSP.

AGENDA No. 10 : MISCLENIOUS ISSUES WITH GOVERNMENT a. COMPUTERISATION OF LAND RECORDS Computerization of land records is essential in present scenario. After feeding revenue data, land records should be made available on line to the banks. This will help banks in eliminating chances of fraud by fake registries. b. REGISTRATION OF EQUITABLE MORTGAGE. There is a need that equitable mortgage should be recorded in respective registrar offices of the State. This will safeguard banks interest against multiple financing. The Charge should be noted in Revenue Record both, manually and in system. c. SERFAESI. In many cases banks are unable to take physical possession of the property of defaulting borrowers, as required under SARFESI act. There are such cases where Banks have applied to DM but applications are still pending even after the gap of quite a good time. Supreme Court in its judgment has clarified that - o DM acting under Sec.14 of the SARFAESI Act is not required to give notice either to the borrower or to the third party. Page 28 of 31

29 o He has to only verify from the bank or financial institution whether notice under section 13(2) is given or not and whether the secured assets fall within his jurisdiction. o All applications filed under Section 14 which are in compliance with the requirements, shall be disposed off by the DM as expeditiously as possible and under any circumstances, within a period of two months from the date of proper presentation of the application. o Banks/Financial Institutions are only required to annex a copy of the notice issued under Section 13(2) of the SARFAESI Act along with proof of dispatch and affidavit of service to that effect, to their application under Section 14 of the SARFAESI Act. Page 29 of 31

30 The List given by various banks for such delay has been annexed and provided by SLBC to concerned district collectors. State Government is requested to advise District Administration to promptly take physical possession of the property of defaulting borrowers as required under the SARFESI Act. d. RRC. A total number of cases amounting Rs crore are pending for recovery as at the end of Sept The number of new cases filed during the quarter is 9488 for Rs crore. We have requested member banks in the previous SLBC meetings also, to instruct their branches to reconcile the actual pending RRCs in consultation with local revenue authorities. LDMs are advised to take initiative for their respective districts. The District authorities should be approached for conducting special drives for recovery. BRISC amount, wherever pending should be paid to the Government without delay. RRC filing should be on line, on the lines of Madhya Pradesh Govt. so that actual position of RRCs filed and recovery made through RRCs, can be ascertained. State Government is requested to advise District Administration of all the districts to expedite recovery in RRC cases filed, by holding Recovery Camps, Lok Adalats, etc. e. Automation of Interface of State Government Treasuries. Public Sector Banks have been providing banking services to various State Governments, and have also been effecting payments on behalf of the State Government Treasuries. The full automation of interface of State Government Treasuries with the Banks has not yet happened. State Bank is in process of full automation of interface of State Govt. Treasuries. The pilot has been started at Special Govt. Business Branch, Raipur. Page 30 of 31
