<h1>RBI Updates Housing Loan Limits and Schemes to Boost Priority Sector Lending for Weaker Sections and Agriculture.</h1> The Reserve Bank of India mandates that domestic and certain foreign banks allocate 40% of their lending to priority sectors, including sub-targets for weaker sections and agriculture. To support economically weaker sections, the government has revised housing loan limits under Priority Sector Lending and introduced various schemes. These include the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana for micro-businesses, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana for urban housing, and the Central Sector Interest Subsidy Scheme for student loans. Additionally, the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana supports rural and urban livelihoods, and the Differential Rate of Interest Scheme provides concessional loans to weaker sections.
