The Maharashtra State Cooperative (MSC) Bank has unveiled a loan offering aimed at supporting established housing societies seeking to undertake self-improvement projects. The bank has earmarked a whopping Rs 1,950 crore for this endeavour, slated to be disbursed during the 2023–24 fiscal year.
The bank is responsible for managing self-redevelopment initiatives in the state and is set to reveal the eligibility guidelines for obtaining loans for such projects in the coming week. According to Vidyadhar Anaskar, who is an administrator at MSC Bank, it is anticipated that approximately 50 old housing societies will benefit from the allotment.
Anaskar reported that they had been presented with 100 proposals from housing societies concerning the matter. Earlier this month, the proposal seeking loan approval was presented to the deputy chief minister, Devendra Fadnavis. Anaskar has announced that loans will be made available to housing societies for the renovation of outdated structures and the erection of new residential properties. After settling the loan aspect, a greater number of communities will adopt this program. Fadnavis has suggested that he may reintroduce the GR for the purpose of providing advantages to housing societies.
According to Shreeprasad Parab, a skilled director at the Maharashtra State Housing Federation Limited, several old residential communities are currently seeking financial support to initiate their own redevelopment projects. The declaration by MSC Banks is likely to benefit numerous propositions within the state.
According to Parab, housing societies that meet the eligibility criteria of either the Development Control and Promotion Regulation 2034 or the Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulation 2020 and also comply with Section 79A guidelines can apply for loans to fund their own redevelopment projects, provided they are at least 30 years old. The members of the federation stated that the state government plans to offer deemed conveyance to housing societies of this nature within the next month.
The inception of the co-operative movement in India dates back to 1904, when the enactment of the Co-operative Credit Societies Act took place. Out of all the states in the country, Maharashtra is the most advanced in terms of the co-operative sector.
The MSC Bank acts as a hub that balances the excess resources of cooperatives in the state and guarantees their comprehensive growth and success. It goes without saying that the largest co-operative bank in the nation is MSC Bank. Additionally, this is the sole cooperative bank in India to have been acknowledged nine times by 'The Banker' publication in London for its financial stability, specifically in terms of capital adequacy, positioning it amongst the top 1000 banks globally. The RBI Act of 1934 categorizes the bank as a Schedule II entity.
