The Central Bank of Indiahas formed a strategic co-lending agreement with Dhanvarsha Finvest Ltd (DFL) to provide competitive loans against gold ornaments to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) borrowers. According to DFL's stock exchange filing, the public sector bank would then originate and procedure loans against gold ornaments based on jointly conceived credit parameters and eligibility criteria, while the Central Bank of India will take 80 percent of the gold loans into its book under mutually agreed terms. Throughout the loan's life cycle, DFL would service the account. CBoI and DFL will expand their portfolios as a result of their participation in this co-lending arrangement, according to the Bank.
