Considering the growing significance of RRBs in pursuit of financial inclusion agenda,\u00a0RBI decided to revise the priority sector guidelines for RRBs. Accordingly, the comprehensive revised guidelines on Priority Sector Lending \u2013 Targets and Classification for Regional Rural Banks were published by RBI. <\/span>The revised guidelines will be operational with effect from January 1, 2016.<\/p>\n

Some of the salient features of the guidelines are as under:- <\/span><\/p>\n

(i) Targets: 75 per cent of total outstanding to the sectors eligible for classification as priority sector lending and sub sector targets as indicated in subsequent paragraphs.<\/p>\n

(iii) Agriculture: 18% per cent of total outstanding should be advanced to activities mentioned under Agriculture.<\/p>\n

(iv) Small and Marginal Farmers: A target of 8 percent of total outstanding has been prescribed for Small and Marginal Farmers within Agriculture.*<\/p>\n

(v) Micro Enterprises: A target of 7.5 per cent of total outstanding has been prescribed for Micro Enterprises. **<\/p>\n

(vi) Weaker Sectors: A target of 15 per cent of total outstanding has been prescribed for Weaker Sections.<\/p>\n
