•Priority sector-Some areas or fields in a country
depending on its economic condition or government
interest are prioritized and are called priority sectors
i.e. SMEs, agriculture. these may further be sub divided.
• Priority sector lending-Banks are directed by the central
bank of the country that loans must be given on reduced
interest rates with discounts to promote these fields. Such
lending is called priority sector lending
 The concept of Priority Sector Lending is mainly
  intended to ensure that assistance from banking
  system should flows in an increasing manner to those
  sectors of the economy which though accounting for
  a significant proportion of the national product have
  not received adequate support of institutional finance
  in the past
 At the meeting of National Credit Council held in
  JULY 1968, it was emphasized that commercial banks
  should increase their involvement in the financing of
  priority sector i.e. agriculture and small scale
  industries. The description of priority sector was later
  formalised in 1972
 1.      Agriculture
 2.      Small Scale Industries
 3.      Small Road and Water Transport Operators
 4.      Retail Trade
 5.      Small Business
 6.      Professional and Self-employed persons
 7.      Education
 8.      Housing Finance
 Agricultural sector suffers from several challenges,
    namely,
   i. Fragmented and uneconomical size of landholding; 83
    per cent of the landholdings are held by small & marginal
    farmers and average landholding size is 0.6 ha3 per farm
    household;
   ii. High wastage due to inadequate storage and supply
    chain infrastructure. Estimates indicate that 7 per cent of
    grain output, 10 per cent of seeds and 25 per cent to 40 per
    cent of fruits and vegetables are wasted every year ;
   iii. Significant dependence on monsoon and inadequacy of
    irrigation facilities;
   iv. Low level of farm mechanization;
   v. Inadequacy of extension services in agriculture
SMALL SCALE INDUSTRIES
 Those engaged in the manufacture, processing or preservation of goods.

 Investment in plant and machinery doesn’t exceed 1 crore

 TINY ENTERPRISES: small scale units where investment is upto Rs 25
  lakh.

 SMALL SCALE SERVICE AND BUSINESS ENTERPRISES: industry
  related service and business enterprises with investment upto 10 lakh in
  fixed assets excluding land and building.

 Indirect finance will include credit to:
 Agencies involved in assisting the decentralized sector
 Govt. sponsored corp. providing funds to weaker sec.
 Advances to handloom cooperatives
 Credit provided by banks to KVIC
 Role of Micro & Small Enterprises (MSE) sector is vital
  for employment generation, promoting
  entrepreneurship and overall economic growth.
 Inadequate credit assistance.
 Lack of machinery and equipment
 Competition from large-scale units and imported
  articles
 Absence of adequate infrastructure
 Irregular supply of raw material
•    To get out of vicious poverty circle: 70 % of Indian
    population lives below poverty line, 33% of global poor
    are Indians
 buying land or equipment
 expanding a business


 improving housing
 securing a job (which often requires paying a large
  bribe), etc
 to reduce unemployement
 Education is one of the factors which will enable us
    optimize and leverage our demographic dividend
   Education is an investment that augments the stock of
    human capital over a period
   Education loans extended by banks have brought higher
    education within the reach of the deserving poor and
    brought it to the masses
   Improved training and skilling are critical for providing
    employment opportunities to the growing mass of
    younger people and necessary to sustain the high growth
    momentum
   The needs of education, skill and capacity building
    necessitate adequate flow of credit to this sector

 RATE OF INTEREST OF LOANS UNDER
                            PRIORITY SECTOR?
  AS per the current interest rate policy, in the case of loans upto Rs 2 lakh,
 the interest rate should not exceed the prime lending rate (PLR) of the bank,
 while in the case of loans above Rs 2 lakh, banks are free to determine the
 interest rate.

 MONITORING OF PRIORITY SECTOR LENDING BY RESERVE
                                    BANK
 Priority sector lending by commercial banks is monitored by Reserve Bank
 of India through periodical Returns received from them. Performance of
 banks is also reviewed in the various fora set up under the Lead Bank
 Scheme (at State, District and Block levels).
M V NAIR , Union Bank Chief, Head of RBI
committee

Priority sector targets for public sector and private
sector banks could be retained at the current level of
40% of the net credit to the sector.

It has recommended severe changes should be made
to exposure of foreign banks. Foreign banks’ priority
sector target should be upped from 32% to 40%.
However, this could put pressure on foreign banks to
increase their lending to priority sector categories
including agriculture and export sectors.

> Special treatment should be given to small and
marginal farmers and housing loans below Rs 2 lakhs
should be classified under priority sector
 RBI had been a little cautious of a bank lending to
  NBFCs, but the committee has recommended
  that 5% of bank's credit to NBFCs could be
  classified priority sector. Lending to gold
  companies will not be classified as priority
  sector.
 Securitized loans could also be classified under
  the priority sector. This will remove the pressure
  on banks and NBFCs while lending to these
  sectors. It would come as a relief for banks and
  NBFCs.
 Increasing role of private sector


 Effective working and monitoring


 To contribute to development of economy


 To maintain healthy competition


 To achieve the target of financial inclusion
 In order to address to the growing need of the
  economy , the private sector bank must work hand in
  hand with the public sector banks as suggested by the
  RBI
 Only lending will not suffice the need of the hour ,the
  banks must also focus on:
  1)Better application of Asset and Risk Management
  2)Reducing the extent of NPAs
  3)Assisting borrowers in achieving financial goals
