  1. It’s actually very tough and tiring to get such sort of loans , I have recently suffered a lot and I was treated like I was begging for it . My wife runs a business of water supplies in gurgaon from last 1 year and in process of expanding and for capital need we applied for a loan from our nearest oriental bank of commerce branch where she holds a current account , after spending a good amount on chartered accountant fees the report was presented to the bank , but its so un fortunate that nothing is been happening , so whatever Mr Modi announces is not going to actual needy

    • Yes pankaj not only you but many indians who are women entrepreneurs and need a loan to start up as stand up chance are suffering due to Bank branch manager harassment and bribe as 3 percentage.
      So not only u v are all suffering from this disease called bribe.
      But modi sir does not know about this managers.
