Dehejia Committee –Existing

Deficiencies It is the borrower who decides how much he would borrow;the banker does not decide how much he would lend andis, therefore not in a position to do credit planning.

The bank credit is treated as first source of finance and notas supplementary to other source of finance.

The amount of credit extended is based on the amount of security available, not on the level of operations of

borrower.Security does not by itself ensure safety of bank funds sinceall bad and sticky advances are secured advances; safety essentially lies in the efficient follow-up of the industrialoperations of the borrower.
