What is the primary purpose of bank lending to Microfinance Institutions (MFIs)?
Banks lend to MFIs so that MFIs can on-lend to the last-mile borrowers who lack direct access to formal banking credit. This helps in financial inclusion by channeling funds to underserved rural and semi-urban populations.
What is the maximum loan tenure allowed for microfinance loans under RBI's 2022 Master Direction?
No maximum tenure is prescribed; lender decides based on repayment capacity.
Under RBI guidelines, what is the priority sector classification of bank loans given to MFIs for on-lending?
Bank loans to MFIs for on-lending to individual borrowers qualify as priority sector lending, specifically under the 'Agriculture' or 'Weaker Sections' sub-categories depending on the end use of funds.
What is the household income ceiling for a borrower to qualify for a microfinance loan?
Annual household income up to Rs. 3 lakh for rural and urban borrowers.
What does the term 'co-lending' refer to in the context of bank-NBFC arrangements?
Co-lending (also called co-origination) is an arrangement where banks and NBFCs jointly originate loans to priority sector borrowers, with the NBFC maintaining a minimum share of the loan on its books. This allows banks to leverage the NBFC's last-mile reach while meeting priority sector targets.
What repayment capacity rule must lenders follow under the 2022 RBI microfinance directions?
Loan repayment obligations must not exceed 50% of the household's monthly income.
What is the minimum percentage of the loan that an NBFC must retain on its books under the Co-Lending Model (CLM)?
Under the Co-Lending Model prescribed by RBI, the NBFC must retain a minimum of 20% of the loan on its own books, while the bank takes up the remaining 80% share.
Under the Co-Lending Model, what percentage of credit risk does the bank typically take?
Bank takes 80% of the credit risk in a standard co-lending arrangement.
