Recommendations by Task Force under PMRY Scheme to banks and State-wise/District-wise targets under PMRY Scheme
An intensive study of implementation of the PMRY during the year 1993-94 was carried out by officers of DC, SSI in the States of Delhi, West Bengal, Bihar, Gujarat and Kerala. These studies and interaction with other State Govts. and review of progress reports has revealed certain common problems and fallacies regarding allocation of targets and recommendations by Task Forces to the Banks. The problems are summarised as follows:
1. Some States carried out the administration of the Scheme sequentially instead of in parallel. Hence they invited applications in the first instance which were then scrutinised and recommended by the Task Forces. The process of appraisal sanction and disbursement by banks began only when the process of inviting applications and recommendations by Task Force was completed.
2. Many banks/bank branches do not accept recommended cases if their number exceeds their target by 25 percent or some such percentage.
3. In many instances recommended cases that remain pending at the end of the financial year are returned to the Task Forces by the Banks.
4. Many recommended cases are returned by banks/bank branches stating, "Targets for the year have been achieved."
5. In lots of cases e.g. Delhi, the recommended cases have not been sent to the correct bank branches under whose jurisdiction the recommended case lies.
6. Generally, both the Task Forces and the lead banks have taken unduly long time in re-allocating targets and reallocating recommendations to be sent to different bank branches in case this kind of need arises in the district. Similar situation seems to have prevailed at the State level also.
It has been decided to issue a consolidated statement of clarifications in order to facilitate the administrative process of recommending cases to banks and sanction/disbursements against them by banks.
1. The activities of inviting applications and making recommendations by the Task Force is in parallel to the activity of sanction/disbursement of loans to beneficiaries by banks/ bank branches. These activities should not be seen as sequential activities.
2. It has been provided in the operational guidelines that, generally, the Task Force should send around double the number of cases to each bank branch against its target so as to take care of rejections of cases at the bank branch level. This stipulation should be followed scrupulously.
3. The process of inviting applications and making recommendations by the Task Force is a continuous process. Generally, applications should be invited by the Task Force all the year round. In other words, a potential beneficiary should be able to apply for loan under the Scheme as per prescribed procedure at any time and not within a stipulated/fixed period.
4. The Task Force should meet regularly, let us say, twice a month to consider and review the applications. These applications should be processed on a regular basis. The recommendations of the Task Force should be regularly sent the year round to various bank/bank branches in the district keeping in mind the targets allocated to each bank/bank branch.
5. The lead Bank and two banks are members of the Task Force. Therefore, the broad financial appraisal of the project should be carried out in the Task Force itself. To facilitate correct appraisal and recommendation of the project at the initial stage itself the potential beneficiary should be interviewed wherever required in order to obtain all relevant information etc. at the initial stage itself.
6. Therefore, it is once again emphasised and clarified that the process of receiving applications and making recommendations by the Task Force should be a continuous process over the entire year.
7. In general, any bank branch should, at any time, accept recommended cases at least to the extent of double their targets during a particular year.
8. The bank/bank branch should request well in time for more recommended cases from the Task Force, if they find themselves unable to sanction cases to their target from the double number of recommendations received.
9. It is extremely important to understand that a case once recommended does not lose sanctity at the end of the financial year. Recommended cases pending with the banks at the end of the financial years should, as a rule, be considered first for sanction/disbursement in the next financial year. However this does not seem to be happening because the figures for sanctions and disbursement in the first quarter have been almost negligible. This shows that banks are either not considering recommended cases pending with them from the last financial year or they have returned the cases at the end of the year on the grounds that they were pending.
10. As a rule, no case recommended by the Task Force should be returned by a bank/bank branch on grounds of already achieved targets etc.
11. If the distribution of recommended cases to particular bank/bank branch are much less or much more compared to their targets than the re-allocation of all the recommended cases branch-wise etc. should be immediately done by the lead bank Manager in consultation with the implementing agency.
i). The flow of applications and flow of recommended cases by the Task Force to the banks will become regular and continuous over the year.
ii). A potential beneficiary will be able to apply for a loan under the scheme as per standard procedure at any time during the year.
iii). The Task Force will meet regularly (Twice a month) to process the applications received and make their recommendations.
iv). The broad financial appraisal of the project should be carried out at the initial stage in the Task Force itself because lead bank manager and two other banks are members of the Task Force. The deficiencies, if any, in the application forms and other information that may be required should be completed at the initial stage in the Task Force itself. For this purpose, if required, in interview of the potential beneficiary should be arranged. Regular dates can be fixed for the meetings of the Task Force and well publicised.
v). The bank at any time will have enough number of recommended cases to consider for sanctions/disbursements.
vi). Recommended cases pending with the banks at the end of the year will be considered for sanction/disbursement first, in the beginning in the next year. This will ensure the process of sanctions and disbursements over the entire year.
You are requested to incorporate the above clarification in your administrative procedures and co-ordination and put them into effect in an appropriate way. You may also kindly bring these to the notice of all implementing agencies training institutions, NGOs and banks concerned.
