Co-Lending: A Double Deal for Recolonising Peasantry, Helping Corporate Cronies -Prabhat Patnaik

-Newsclick.in

Through “nationalised banks-NBFC” deals, the Modi government is trying to achieve what the three farm laws could not achieve.

In colonial times, the peasantry had to borrow from private moneylenders. According to Provincial Banking Enquiry Committee reports, these moneylenders in turn borrowed from commercial banks. But while disbursing credit to the peasants and charging exorbitant interest rates, the money lenders at least bore the whole of the lender’s risk. The banks from whom they borrowed did not bear any risk in case the peasants could not pay back the loans they had obtained from the moneylenders. The banks, in short, had nothing to do with the ultimate borrowers.

But, with the new arrangement being put into effect, of which the deal between Adani Capital and the State Bank of India (SBI) is an example, there will be co-lending, with the bank paying 80% and a ‘non-bank financial company’ (NBFC) like Adani Capital paying 20% of the loan. The NBFC will obviously decide whom to lend and on what conditions, subject, one presumes, to certain restrictions imposed by the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) guidelines.
