Trends in NPAs of Scheduled Commercial Banks Under Priority Sector Lending in India
Abstract

Introduction

The concept, scope and coverage of priority sector lending (PSL) has attracted considerable amendment since its inception in 1972, more particularly after the initiation of the financial reforms in the Indian banking sector. During the post reforms era, several new areas and sectors were brought under the umbrella of PSL via scheduled commercial banks (SCBs). The concept of ‘agricultural finance’ has also significantly changed over these years.
