Nodal Agencies – For the years 2009-11, the RBI and theNHB were the Nodal Agencies for this Scheme for SCBs and HFCs, respectively. From FY 2011-12 NHB has been designated as Sole Nodal Agency for this Scheme for both HFCs and SCBs.

  6. Claim Admissibility • After sanctioning and disbursing the eligible loans, the IAs will claim subsidy from the nodal agency in the prescribed format on monthly/ consolidated basis. • The subsidy amount on the disbursed loan amount will be sanctioned to the IAs by the respective Nodal Agencies on monthly basis on receipt of the claim and the necessary information in the prescribed format. Release of Funds from GoI- The Government of India will release the subsidy amount to the Nodal Agencies based on demand for sanction of subsidy received from the nodal agencies on quarterly basis.

  7. Utilisation Certificates • The IAs will be required to ensure proper end-utilization of the funds and to submit utilization certificates to their respective NA against the amount of the interest subsidy released to them.

NHBs’ Initiative • NHB has issued revised Guidelines to all Scheduled Commercial Banks (including Public Sector Banks, Private Sector Banks and Foreign Banks in India) and all HFCs registered with NHB for speedy implementation of the Scheme and submission of subsidy claims to NHB. • NHB has also requested Convener SLBC of various states to include the Scheme as an regular agenda item. • NHB has prepared an excel sheet with features like automated checking of sanctioned loan amount not exceeding 15 lakh, cost of house not exceeding 25 Lakh and calculation of subsidy amount. To facilitate the Banks and HFCs to submit their claims without any discrepancy, the same has been uploaded on NHB’s Website. • To reduce the time lag in disbursement of the subsidy amount, NHB has proposed to place upfront certain amount of funds with public Sector Banks
