In addition, banks are devising
flexible repayment mechanism with instalments that can be paid on a weekly
basis at some of the banks. "From a collection point of view the challenge
is to ensure that a street vendor or a repair shop owner can pay the instalment
at his doorstep and does not waste time coming to a bank branch. We are working
on ways to address this issue and we may rope in collection agents," the
PNB executive said.

Majority of the Mudra Loan borrowers
are unwilling to spend in long queues at bank branches to repay the monthly
instalments.
Conventional payment methods like
PDCs(Post Dated Cheques), ECS-Debit (Electronic Clearing Service), ACH-Debit
will not work here.
The preferred repayment mode will be
cash in low denominations.
The cost to Banks in Mudra Loan
repayments in Bank Branches will be high, approximately upto INR150/- per
transaction. This cost includes the ‘missed customer’, cost.
Mudra Loan borrowers prefer simple and
safe repayment options.
The BPPS can be the perfect choice to
route Mudra Loan repayments.
The benefits outweigh the negatives.
