In a situation where everyone suffering from the pandemic Coronavirus needs various assistance such as personal loan, auto loan and home loan, this is the time for the relationship for customers and banks to continue. Banks are also frontline employees. There is a great deal of respect for the banking sector. Under the Jan Tan Yojana scheme, all women were able to transact money digitally simultaneously without any restrictions. Also, the farmers were paid Rs. 6000 in their bank accounts and it was the banks that helped them the most. For those who do not have bank accounts, Zero Balance has helped people create bank accounts and has helped all to get a bank account," she added.
"Nirmala Sitharaman gave Rs. 20 lakh crore under the Atma Nirpad scheme during the Coronavirus period. Of this, 10 per cent of the loan amount is to be paid in the loan amount. Awareness is being made in all areas and are conducted in all areas, and information on bank loans is made available to the public. Therefore, it should be used properly by the public," reiterated Vanathi Srinivasan. She also urged the public to be responsible for the timely repayment of loans taken from banks.
