FADA Urges RBI to Address Private Bank Loan Rate Delays
FADA, a group for car dealers, is asking the RBI (the bank of banks) to make private banks lower interest rates on car loans faster.
They noticed public banks are quick to lower rates, but private banks are slow.
FADA wants the RBI to check this.
They also want car dealerships to get benefits like MSME loans, and wants better access to credit.
This helps make buying cars cheaper and supports the auto business.
FADA requests RBI intervention regarding private banks' delayed transmission of interest rate cuts.
FADA wants review of private banks' repo-rate pass-through lags and directives for 100% transmission.
Public sector banks transmit rate cuts immediately, unlike some private banks.
FADA seeks clear guidelines for uniform MSME lending benefits for auto-retail businesses.
The association suggests extending Credit Guarantee Fund Trust and recalibrating risk weights on auto loans.
