limits for employees loans enhanced: but beware! your pockets will be emptied

the limits for the loans taken by the employees of primary co-operative societies including urban co-operative urban banks from their respective institutions has been enhanced as per the government order dated 30.12.2009. the overdraft limit has been raised from the present Rs. 50000 to Rs. 100000 and the housing loan limit has been raised from the present Rs. 350000 to Rs. 500000.

BUT, the Government Order cited above states that, the employees have to pay higher inerest rates (equivalent to the interest rates applicable to the ordinary customers) for availing the enhanced loan limits. the employees who avail the earlier lower limits can continue to enjoy the lower interest rates fixed earlier. that is, in essence, the the government order is firmly against the earlier liberal concept towards the employees and it is intended to withdraw the prevailing concessions for the employees.
