Banks to launch online service for loan seekers, pilot project in Haryana

In a State Level Bankers Committee (SLBC) Haryana Chief Secretary, Dharamvir put forward an idea before the members of introducing online service for loan applicants. While speaking in the meeting of SLBC he said, “With this service, loan seekers are not required to visit banks time and again and they would not have to go through the cumbersome process of knowing the status of their applications”.

In the meeting bankers showed their interest in launching an online service for loan seekers to enable them to know the exact status of their loan applications.

Punjab National Bank, Executive Director, JM Garg is also a chair person of State Level Bankers Committee (SLBC) of Haryana said, "Launching an online service for loan seekers is a good idea and it will be started a pilot project here".


Dharam Vir suggested the banks to encourage entrepreneurship among the students to use their young talent and encourage them to start their own business enterprise.

He also advised the banks should aim to make students as their clientele when they start earning, they would later become their investment. This will also instill the habit of cash management in the students at an early age. He suggested the banks to move ahead from mere lending and should work on to promote entrepreneurship.

He further added similarly, banks should also work for the empowerment of women. The banks should introduce some subsidy schemes exclusively for women entrepreneurs. The Haryana Government launched a scheme of registration of properties in the name of women has received good response. After the launch of the scheme the registration of properties in the name of women has increased.
