This is the right message from the Finance Ministry. Private sector banks, especially the new generation banks have been concentrating only on the creamy layer of business when it comes to provision of credit and even deposit acceptance (small depositors are discouraged by various disincentives). When it comes to priority lending, they try to achieve targets by depositing funds in Rural Infrastructure Development Fund and avoid small accounts. SBI and PSBs should be compensated at least by allowing them to continue their existing share of government business.
