RBI diktat to banks on housing loan disbursal of sanctioned loan
The Reserve Bank of India has told the banks that -----Disbursal of sanctioned loan will have to be closely linked to the stages of construction of the housing projects/houses.
And, the RBI has also made it clear to them that no upfront disbursal should be made in cases of incomplete/under-construction/green field housing projects.
Such housing loan products are likely to expose the banks as well as their home loan borrowers to additional risks in case of disputes between individual borrowers and developers/builders, default/delayed payment of interest/EMI (equated monthly instalment) by the developer/builder during the agreed period on behalf of the borrower and non-completion of the project on time
RBI said---

At times, these are done through tripartite agreements between the bank, the builder and the buyer of the housing unit. “These loan products are popularly known by various names such as 80:20, 75:25 schemes.

The 1987-batch IPS officer, who has been behind bars since 2007 and has been made the chief accused by the CBI in a string of fake encounter cases, said in a 10-page letter that the policy makers in the state government should be imprisoned as well.
DG Vanzara argued, "By this reasoning I am of the firm opinion that the place of this government instead of being in Gandhinagar, should either be in Taloja central prison at Navi Mumbai or in Sabarmati Central Prison at Ahmedabad.
He slammed the Modi government for "ditching and disowning" the jailed officers and accused Shah of playing a divide-and-rule policy.
