Priority Sector Lending Targets for Banks in India: Banks in India are required to lend a certain percentage of their total loans to what are classified as ‘priority sectors’. The government has identified ten sectors which it considers important for the development of the country and stipulates that 40% of all bank lending must go towards these sectors.
The definition of priority sectors has been expanded over time and now includes agriculture, small and medium enterprises, education, housing, social infrastructure, renewable energy, etc.
The targets for priority sector lending are reviewed and revised periodically by the RBI in consultation with the government.
Priority sectors in India
1) Agriculture
2) Micro Small and Medium Enterprises
3) Education
4) Housing
5) Export Credit.
6) Social Infrastructure
7) Renewable Energy
8) Others.
