All Primary (Urban) Co-operative Banks

Madam / Dear Sir,

Small Value Loans – Primary (Urban) Co-operative Banks (UCBs)

Please refer to paras 2.2 and 2.2.1 of the circular DOR (PCB).BPD.Cir No.10/13.05.000/2019-20 dated March 13, 2020, in terms of which, UCBs were required, inter alia, to have at least 50 per cent of their aggregate loans and advances comprising of Small Value Loans, i.e., loans of value not more than ₹25 lakh or 0.2 per cent of their Tier I capital, whichever is higher, subject to a maximum of ₹1 crore, per borrower. The target date for complying with the above requirement was March 31, 2024.

2. Taking into account the representations received by the Bank citing certain difficulties being faced by the UCBs in this regard, it has been decided to extend the glide path to achieve the aforementioned target by two years as given below:

Target Date → March 31, 2025 March 31, 2026
Minimum percentage of Small Value Loans in aggregate loans and advances → 40% 50%

3. All other provisions with regard to prudential limits prescribed in the circular dated March 13, 2020 referred to above remain unchanged.

Yours faithfully,

(Vaibhav Chaturvedi)
Chief General Manager
