<h1>India Revises Priority Sector Lending Limits for Housing and Education Loans to Support Economically Disadvantaged Groups.</h1> The Government of India, following Reserve Bank of India guidelines, mandates domestic and certain foreign banks to allocate a portion of their lending to priority sectors, including economically weaker sections (EWS) and low-income groups (LIG). Housing loans for EWS and LIG have revised limits for priority sector classification. The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban (PMAY-U) provides interest subsidies on housing loans for EWS/LIG. Additionally, the Central Sector Interest Subsidy Scheme (CSIS) offers full interest subsidies on educational loans for EWS students during the loan moratorium period, supporting affordable higher education. These initiatives aim to enhance housing and educational opportunities for economically disadvantaged groups.
