Rakesh Wazir, while speaking on the occasion, said that the track record of Hotel Industry has remained like this that not even a single investment has been lost by the Bank which was invested in that Industry and thus liberal financing of the Bank is required particularly in this sector. He asked for empanelment of more valuers in its Panel and especially who value properties of more than 5.00 crore. He even asked for increasing the moratoriums of the construction period of the loans of the entrepreneurs because most of the constructions got delayed due to Covid.

Although the system is very fast as for as financing and other activities of the bank are concerned but still directions down the line will be passed for expediting those further besides adding of new technologies and new schemes at regular intervals, he added.
