that ‘the figure is absolutely true’. “It is only 13.5 percent of the total bank loan disbursement for the same period” Khurshid said adding that the government has already taken a decision and directed banks to earmark 15 per cent loan for people belonging minority communities. He said that to achieve 15 percent target bank should provide more loan to the community.
United Progressive Alliance ‘report to the people 2010-11’ jointly released by UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh on Sunday claimed that the minorities in the country have been provided over Rs ` 1,28,300 crore of bank credit in 2010-11 (up to December 10).
People of the minority community were baffled over the amount sanctioned for the community as poor people of the community still running pillar to post to get a small loan for their livelihoods. They believe that had the amount went to real beneficiaries no one would have been poor in the community.
