RBI's Concerns on Microfinance Spread in UP and Bihar
The RBI has advised microfinance lenders to reduce loan approvals in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar due to the rapid growth of microfinance institutions in these states. These institutions offer collateral-free loans to low-income individuals, aiding businesses like Rupa's vegetable vendor venture. Despite boosting local economies with increased lending, concerns arise regarding the potential risks of over-lending and borrower vulnerability, similar to the Andhra Pradesh crisis. The RBI aims to prevent a similar situation by monitoring lending activities closely and strengthening regulatory frameworks.
