The Bank changed it traditional business model in 2013 and embarked

Development Loan Scheme (CSDDLS) are popular in rural and semi urban
areas.
The bank expects that credit facilities at a concessionary rate of
interest under CSDDLS will help improve productivity of dairy farmers
from subsistence level to the commercial level.
Under this scheme, the maximum loan facility available is Rs. 25
million. Loans could be obtained from the 33 branches of the HDFC Bank.
Dairy farmers of the HDFC Bank under the CSDDLS could obtain
insurance cover from SICL at a low premium with suitable and affordable
schemes of risk coverage.
HDFC Bank is actively involved in development banking and plans to
strengthen this further by targeting local entrepreneurs in SMEs who
contribute significantly to the national economy. |
