4.1 Recommen&!tion

-or 'etter impro#ement of &M:, L can consider the follo/in$ recommendation)

I Reduce the interest rate 'ecause most of their competitors are pro#idin$ loans at a lo/er rate

for eample most of the competitors 'an%s pro#idin$ loan at 1215 interest rate

I +ncrease mar%etin$ acti#ities in the ur'an area 'ecause other competin$ industries are ta%in$

hu$e promotional acti#ities to capture the ur'an area /hich helps them to increase their customer

'ase.

I i#e proper trainin$ to the R@s /ith some real life pro'lem 'ecause they are all in all for

&M: loan. &ometimes they ma%e mista%es /hich results in customer harassment, increase

processin$ time and char$es.

ILoo% after R@s acti#ities 'y the O@s 'ecause sometimes they are hidin$ information and

ma%e mista%es to prepare financial statements and other documents.

I+ncrease amount of &M: loan appro#al 'y the Oonal officer, at present they can appro#e up to

5 lacs.

I+ncrease amount up to 10 lacs /ithout collateral security for pro#idin$ loans

I Recruit fresh O@s from outside to control R@ $rie#ances ;since present O@s are mostly

promoted R@s /ho ha#e (oined the an% all most at same timeuently chec% clients are perform all the terms and condition of &M: loan.

I +ncrease the remuneration and compensation pac%a$e for the entry and mid le#el

mana$ement other/ise L canBt retain the efficient and eperienced employees.
