ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE

(a): Banks are implementing various schemes for promotion of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) which inter alia include Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana (PMMY), Weavers'' Credit Card Scheme (WCC), Collateral free loans under Credit Guarantee Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE), Prime Minister''s Employment Generation Programme, National Urban Livelihood Mission (NULM). In addition, State Governments and Banks have their own schemes for working capital & term loans.

(b): Targets are fixed for the promotion of MSME as a whole, bank-wise & state-wise by the State Level Bankers’ Committee (SLBC). However, Government of India and Reserve Bank of India have, inter-alia, fixed the following targets to make bank credit more accessible to MSMEs:

Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) have been advised to

• Achieve a 20 per cent year-on-year growth in credit to Micro and Small Enterprises (MSE).

• Allocate 60% of the MSE advances to the Micro Enterprises; and

• Achieve a 10% annual growth in number of Micro Enterprise accounts.

According to Priority Sector Lending (PSL) guidelines revised in April 2015, a target of 7.5 percent of Adjusted Net Bank Credit (ANBC) or Credit Equivalent Amount of Off-Balance Sheet Exposure, whichever is higher, has been prescribed for SCBs for lending to Micro Enterprises. This target is to be achieved in a phased manner i.e. 7 percent by March 2016 and 7.5 percent by March 2017. 

(c): (i) The status of proposal received, sanctioned/disbursed and rejected under Small & Micro categories in Uttar Pradesh during the last two years as compiled by SLBC UP are as under:

Financial Year No. of Applications received No. of Applications Disbursed Under Process No. of Applications Rejected

2014-15 317046 316745 182 119

2015-16 561787 557976 (Upto Dec. 2015) 3451 360

(ii) The status of proposal received, sanctioned/disbursed and rejected under Micro, Small & Medium categories in Assam during the last two years as compiled by SLBC Assam are as under:

Year No. of proposals received by all banks No. of proposals accepted by all banks No. of proposals rejected by all banks

2014-15 45835 41153 4682

2015-16 50757 47056 3701

(d): Banks have informed that the applications have been rejected broadly on the following grounds:

(i) The projects are not viable.

(ii) Applicant(s) are defaulters of a bank/other financial institutions.

(iii) Lack of basic infrastructure and absence of marketing facilities in the area do not permit the success of the projects.

(iv) Applicant has not obtained regulatory approvals or license in the cases where these are applicable.
