The RBI has observed four major weaknesses of rural Credit:
  1. Weak recycling of credit.
  2. Poor deposit mobilization.
  3. Ineffective lending.
  4. Poor loan recovery.
To maintain it with these weaknesses state governments are forced to use their funds unproductively. Still, quality of credit has not improved. Credit flows to agriculture has been region dominated. Performance of Rural Financial Institutions (RFI) is far from satisfactory.
They give three reasons for such a performance which are:
  1. Low absorptive capacity in rural areas.
  2. High transaction costs.
  3. Greater risks.
