Hi Thanks for sharing. Encouraging move, but can someone, a banker clarify this further.
1. Does it mean it will have financial impact on the disabled borrower, Like lower interest rates or something? 2. Will the limit be only Rs. 50,000 ? 3. Will it include home loans, car loansk, personal loans etc. I mean loan other than business loans? 4. And lastly, where should we find the actual circular for it?
