SGSY Credit Targets for 2011-12: Allocation & Monitoring
Current · Source: Reserve Bank of India · RBI/2010-11/582 · issued 14 Jun 2011 · ~1 min read
Quick answerRBI has set state-wise credit mobilisation targets of ₹6,02,000 lakh under SGSY for 2011-12. Banks must allocate these targets via SLBCs, report progress online via PCRPCD, and submit hardcopy reports until further notice.
The rule, in the simplest words
Banks must give loans to poor people for starting small businesses (SGSY scheme) and the total loan target for all states is ₹6,02,000 lakh for the year 2011-12.
Each state's loan target must be split among banks by the SLBC (a group of bank leaders in that state), based on how many rural branches and money each bank has.
Banks must report their loan progress every month, quarter, and half-year both on paper (hardcopy) and online through the PCRPCD system (a computer system for tracking loans).
Banks must update their loan targets for each state and each bank in the PCRPCD online system after getting approval from their head office.
Lead Banks (main banks in each area) must check regularly through SLBC/UTLBC meetings that all banks are working to meet their loan targets.
How it plays out — a real example
An agri & priority-sector lending officer in Indore, Priya, receives the state-wise SGSY credit target for Madhya Pradesh from her head office. She attends the SLBC meeting where she and other bank officers agree on each bank's share based on rural branches and resources. Back at her branch, she updates the PCRPCD online system with her bank's target and starts submitting monthly progress reports both on paper and online, ensuring her branch's loan disbursements to self-help groups are tracked accurately.
What changed
Government finalised SGSY credit targets for 2011-12, totalling ₹6,02,000 lakh across states/UTs. RBI directs banks to allocate state targets among themselves via SLBCs and update them in the PCRPCD online system. Banks must now submit both hardcopy and online progress reports simultaneously.
What it means for you
Banks need to integrate these targets into their corporate planning and branch-level goals. The dual reporting requirement (hardcopy + online) increases compliance burden but improves monitoring. SLBCs play a key role in equitable distribution based on branch presence and resources.
What you must do
Allocate state-wise SGSY credit targets among your bank's branches via SLBC, using parameters like rural branch count and resources.
Update state-wise/bank-wise financial targets for 2011-12 in the PCRPCD online system after receiving central office confirmation.
Submit monthly/quarterly/half-yearly progress reports in hardcopy and online via PCRPCD until further instructions.
Issue internal instructions to controlling offices and branches, copying RBI.
Monitor achievement regularly through Lead Banks and SLBC/UTLBC reviews.
Who it affects
All Indian Scheduled Commercial Banks (excluding RRBs), SLBC Convenor banks, Lead Banks, Bank controlling offices and branches handling SGSY
