BEFORE
AFTER
For deployment of funds they faced competition as banking system focused mainly on working capital finance. supply of low cost funds was withdrawn. This forced DFIs to raise funds from the market at a higher rate. They faced competition in the areas of Term finance from banks offering at lower rates.
In 1995, after setting up of the board for financial supervision, RIB started periodical inspections of these DFIs.
Sources Of Funds
The major sources of funds that can be termed
traditional (low cost) sources are Long term funds from RBI, cheap funds from multilateral/bilateral agencies and issue of bonds.
