&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The government is aiming to lend Rs 165,000 crore to the poor and unbanked population through the overdraft facility at an interest rate of 11 per cent under its ongoing Jan Dhan financial inclusion programme.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;It is estimated that there are 18.2 crore basic banking accounts and. by the end of the campaign another 15 crore accounts would get added. An overdraft of Rs 5,000 in each of these translates to a total of Rs 1,65,000 crore,&amp;quot; says a letter issued by the Department of Financial Services, Finance Ministry, to banks.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The release of the overdraft facility would be in a phased manner, starting with Rs 1,000 and after observing satisfactory performance of these accounts, the remaining amount would be released by the banks within the next six months. &amp;quot;The rate of interest on these accounts is proposed at 11 per cent (including the fees to be paid to credit guarantee fund). All government benefits will flow to this account - facilitating servicing of interest and reducing the chances of account becoming dormant,&amp;quot; the letter says.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The letter says the fourth pillar of the Jan Dhan scheme is the creation of a credit guarantee fund with a corpus of Rs 1,000 crore to provide guarantee against defaults in overdrafts in basic banking accounts. It is proposed to be housed in the National Credit Guarantee Corporation (NCGC).
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Using a 1:20 leverage ratio we would need Rs 8,250 crore over a period of time. Hence to begin with, it is proposed to start with a corpus of Rs 1,000 crore. This corpus would be budget neutral for the Government of India and would be funded by the Financial Inclusion Fund (FIF) being maintained by NABARD,&amp;quot; it says. This means the government expects one default for every 20 accounts.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As per RBI estimates, up to March 2013, 3.95 million basic banking accounts availed overdraft facility of Rs 155 crore as against 0.18 million accounts and Rs 10 crore in March 2010. However, considering that 182 million such accounts were opened by March 2013, the overdraft facility has been availed in a very small fraction of these accounts. This could be due to the cap of Rs 2,500 for each account, that too on a selective basis. Besides, perceived defaults in such accounts by banks made them shy of lending.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
According to the DFS letter, this exigency fund should be a great support in meeting basic needs like health, farming etc. The idea is &amp;quot;to bring out people from the clutches of the moneylender&amp;quot; in both rural and urban areas. &amp;quot;Learning to manage this account shall be the first step to larger dosage of credit by creating their credit history. It will help the banks also in credit appraisal for his future needs,&amp;quot; it says.

This means the government expects one default for every 20 accounts.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
As per RBI estimates, up to March 2013, 3.95 million basic banking accounts availed overdraft facility of Rs 155 crore as against 0.18 million accounts and Rs 10 crore in March 2010. However, considering that 182 million such accounts were opened by March 2013, the overdraft facility has been availed in a very small fraction of these accounts. This could be due to the cap of Rs 2,500 for each account, that too on a selective basis. Besides, perceived defaults in such accounts by banks made them shy of lending.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
According to the DFS letter, this exigency fund should be a great support in meeting basic needs like health, farming etc. The idea is &amp;quot;to bring out people from the clutches of the moneylender&amp;quot; in both rural and urban areas. &amp;quot;Learning to manage this account shall be the first step to larger dosage of credit by creating their credit history. It will help the banks also in credit appraisal for his future needs,&amp;quot; it says.

<p align="justify">
The government is aiming to lend Rs 165,000 crore to the poor and unbanked population through the overdraft facility at an interest rate of 11 per cent under its ongoing Jan Dhan financial inclusion programme.
</p>
<p align="justify">
&quot;It is estimated that there are 18.2 crore basic banking accounts and. by the end of the campaign another 15 crore accounts would get added. An overdraft of Rs 5,000 in each of these translates to a total of Rs 1,65,000 crore,&quot; says a letter issued by the Department of Financial Services, Finance Ministry, to banks.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The release of the overdraft facility would be in a phased manner, starting with Rs 1,000 and after observing satisfactory performance of these accounts, the remaining amount would be released by the banks within the next six months. &quot;The rate of interest on these accounts is proposed at 11 per cent (including the fees to be paid to credit guarantee fund). All government benefits will flow to this account - facilitating servicing of interest and reducing the chances of account becoming dormant,&quot; the letter says.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The letter says the fourth pillar of the Jan Dhan scheme is the creation of a credit guarantee fund with a corpus of Rs 1,000 crore to provide guarantee against defaults in overdrafts in basic banking accounts. It is proposed to be housed in the National Credit Guarantee Corporation (NCGC).
</p>
<p align="justify">
&quot;Using a 1:20 leverage ratio we would need Rs 8,250 crore over a period of time. Hence to begin with, it is proposed to start with a corpus of Rs 1,000 crore. This corpus would be budget neutral for the Government of India and would be funded by the Financial Inclusion Fund (FIF) being maintained by NABARD,&quot; it says. This means the government expects one default for every 20 accounts.
</p>
<p align="justify">
As per RBI estimates, up to March 2013, 3.95 million basic banking accounts availed overdraft facility of Rs 155 crore as against 0.18 million accounts and Rs 10 crore in March 2010. However, considering that 182 million such accounts were opened by March 2013, the overdraft facility has been availed in a very small fraction of these accounts. This could be due to the cap of Rs 2,500 for each account, that too on a selective basis. Besides, perceived defaults in such accounts by banks made them shy of lending.
</p>
<p align="justify">
According to the DFS letter, this exigency fund should be a great support in meeting basic needs like health, farming etc. The idea is &quot;to bring out people from the clutches of the moneylender&quot; in both rural and urban areas. &quot;Learning to manage this account shall be the first step to larger dosage of credit by creating their credit history. It will help the banks also in credit appraisal for his future needs,&quot; it says.

For Jan Dhan, banks to lend Rs 1.65 lakh cr via overdraft -George Mathew

-The Indian Express The government is aiming to lend Rs 165,000 crore to the poor and unbanked population through the overdraft facility at an interest rate of 11 per cent under its ongoing Jan Dhan financial inclusion programme.
