NEW DELHI: The government will set up a credit guarantee fund to support its over Rs 40,000-crore new Financial Inclusion Mission, which envisages to give a Rs 5,000 overdraft facility to around 8 crore new account holders.
The scheme could also be extended to present account holders, which, according to initial estimates, may exceed over 15 crore accounts, thus putting a burden of over Rs 75,000 crore on the banking system.
