The Role of Specialised Banks Credit Delivery in Msme: A Case Study From Haryana (NCR)
INTRODUCTION
MSMEs is the backbone of Indian economy which has emerged as a most important sector of
Indian economy. As per Kwadwo Boateng, MSMEs domestic and international market
contributes 45% of industrial output, 40% of total exports of transformation brought through
banks in Indian economy. The existing growth of MSMEs is 8% and expected to create a
workforce for 12 million people in next three years. The GDP contribution is noticeable which
52% to 57% is in India (Abor and Quartey, 2010). The employment generation in SMEs sector is
more than five times than large-scale sector in India (Balasubramanian and Madhavan, 2017).
SMEs come at second position in employment generation after agriculture in India (73 rd round of
National Sample Survey, 2015-16). Developing countries like India, in which SMEs play a
sustainable growth of economy and export enhancement. The SMEs sector contributes
Credit is the biggest factor for promoting SMEs growth and SMEs are highly dependent on
banks finance for fulfilling its needs. SMEs growth and progress is highly dependent on
available external and internal sources of credit in the market. The availability and accessibility
of funds always remain a key issue in growth of MSMEs. The various sources of funds for SMEs
are own capital, family and friends, banks, small business loans, personal loans, trade credit,
private equity firms, venture capital funds and crowd funding. SMEs are dependent on internal
sources of financing such as family and friends in India and other sources include private money
lenders and unorganized financial agencies. SMEs face high financial hindrance than large
enterprises since beginning (Beck, Demirguc Kunt, Laeven, 2006). There is no second opinion
that right kind of financing is utmost requirement of SMEs. The debt burden on SMEs reduces
their profit and increases tension. The high interest rate and unclear terms of private lenders are a
big hindrance in the progress path of SMEs. SMEs are more vulnerable to banks strict credit
George et al., 2018 found the role of Mudra bank in the growth of MSMEs in Kerala (India). The
aim of the study is to find out the various factors to analyze performance of Mudra Bank. The
study utilized the secondary data from websites, reports and journals. The MSMEs export
contribution (40%) and manufactured output (45%) cannot be ignored in the Indian economy.
The various factors such as marketing, skill, infrastructure and finance related to MUDRA
(Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency) were evaluated. Mudra was launched in 2015
for the development of MSMEs. The regular bank service was incepted by MUDRA in remote
areas. It launched a new scheme “Funding the Unfunded” on 8 th April to cater the finance
requirement of small business. The various schemes were initiated by MUDRA bank like Shishu,
Kishore and Tarun, Mahila Udyami. The study catered the ten lakhs MSMEs units’ requirement
in rural and urban areas. The morale of unemployed youth was boosted due to scheme in Kerala.
Rehana Kouser et al., 2012 investigated the Banks loan criteria for SMEs in Multan district of
Pakistan. The banks were avoiding loans to SMEs due to their small scale operations. The loan
crosscheck the lending criteria based on earlier studies. The study utilized t-test for data analysis
of banks and SMEs responses. Research identified 8 factors such as firm’s age, distance,
relationship and deposit relationship. The findings proved the significance of factors which are
affirmed by SMEs and its focus must be more on these factors in fetching funds from banks.
Z Zairani et al., 2013 analyzed problems and prospects of SMEs while securing funds from
Banks in the development stage in Malaysia. The objective behind the paper was to understand
the problems of Banks while granting credit to SMEs and to examine the SMEs factors involved
in obtaining loans from Banks. Primary data was collected through interviews with officers of
five banks. The analysis was done on loan application process, nine factors were identified. The
banks were named as A. B, C, D, and E rather than their original names due to confidentiality of
information. The study highlighted the importance of document while proceeding for loans. The
identified nine factors were collateral, cash flow statement, viable industries, good track record,
good relationship with banks, convincing project, business registration, existing liabilities, and
business experience. Thus the process was very tedious for SMEs as they have to fulfil all nine
parameters.
Abhijeet et al., 2018 studied the factors influencing financial gap for MSMEs sector and suggest
a credit rationing approach by the Banks in Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh). The study utilized
secondary data in the form of Review of Literature. The descriptive survey was carried on the
115 Bank officials in Chandauli districts of Varanasi. Research used both primary and secondary
data for analysis. Secondary data was collected in the form of MSMEs annual reports, SIDBI
annual reports and Handbook of annual statistics. Credit rationing adopted by banks further
widens the gap between MSMEs and Banks. And other factors were bankruptcy laws, property
rights, moral Hazards etc. The results of the survey indicated that MSMEs face or suffer more
David Irwin, 2011 found the barriers faced by SMEs in raising Bank Finance in UK. The
purpose behind the study was to investigate the impact of personal characteristics on SMEs
performance. A survey of 400 SMEs was conducted to collect data by Barclays Bank team. The
stratified random sampling was used to collect data from entire SMEs sample. The research
stated that level of education differentiated the sources of finances for SMEs. The sufferers were
the minority businesses, black owners. Thus marginalized groups have less access to finance.
Pallegedara et al., 2017 did a study to evaluate the impact of bank finance on SMEs performance
in Sri Lanka. The purpose behind the study was to evaluate the impact of commercial and other
banks financing on MSMEs accessibility. The research collected primary data from 149 MSMEs
in Matara district of Sri Lanka. The qualitative technique descriptive statistic and econometric
estimation was utilized to analyze the quantitative data. The qualitative findings were extended
by quantitative findings. The findings revealed that banks loans are less accessible for good
monthly income. The bank finance is no way correlated to demographic factors such as gender,
age, religion and education level. Thus new findings revealed modifications and new broader
Khan et al., 2020 noted that access to financial services through the MFIs is more prevalent with
the male compared to the female counterpart. Nigeria has been in the grasp of this position
through the development of the MFIs in the process of poverty reduction. Thereby, provision
was made that sixty per cent (60%) of the MCF, which was equivalent to N132 billion, was set
aside for the provision of financial services to women (Central Bank of Nigeria, 2009). Also, this
provision was incorporated into the Revised Microfinance Policy, Regulatory and Supervisory
Framework (Section 4.2,[iv]), and it was categorically noted that the access to financial services
by women should increase annually by fifteen per cent (15%), which was targeted towards the
The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) recognized and believed in the capacity of
microfinance banks in reducing poverty. Thereby, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) made an
additional provision of 42.02 billion as of December 2007 through the Deposit Money Banks
(DMBs) and at the same time 21.72 billion had been invested in 523 projects across the
country. The fund was to ensure the availability of microcredit advances towards meeting the
financial services needs of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) (Central Bank of
Nigeria, 2008). The main objective of making these funds available is to complement the
“Microfinance banks in supplying a large but cheap source of finance to the small and micro-
entrepreneurs” towards poverty reduction (Central Bank of Nigeria, 2008). Also, the Micro,
Small and Medium Enterprises Development Fund (MSMEDF) has a seed capital of N220
billion. In the same vein and around the same time, the Bankers’ Committee in Nigeria set up a
Micro-Credit Fund (MCF) with an initial amount targeted at N20 billion and expected the
amount to increase to N100 billion in the next two years; all the efforts were geared towards
enhancing microcredit to the micro- entrepreneurs (Central Bank of Nigeria, 2008). All these
interventions were referred to as Microfinance Development Fund, which was set up as a means
of providing for wholesale funding requirements of MFBs/MFIs.
According to IFC (International Finance Corporation) (2012) report, approximately 32.5 trillion
INR finance was provided to SME sector. The self-finance, informal finance and formal finance
comprise total funds of contributions. The amount 24.4 and 25.5 trillion accounts formal and
(informal & self) finance respectively. Thus we can say that 78% Informal sources and self-
finance are used by the MSME and balance 22% is being supported by the NBFCs. Thus report
concludes there are various sources of finance available for SMEs funding.
Venkatesh et al., 2012 did a study on MSMEs contributions in India and its importance. The
objective behind the study was to estimate the export, employment and output of MSMEs to
know the performance. The five year plan in our country has included aspect of MSMEs. The
policy makers must take effective and stringent measure to overcome the problems of MSMEs
like marketing, finance and quality. He observed various supporting organisations such as SIDO,
LUB, SSIB, ICSI, IIE, WASME and ASSOCHAM for MSMEs. as SIDO ( Small Industries
development organisations), SIDBI Small Industries development bank of India), LUB (Laghu
Udyog Bharti), SSIB (Small Scale Industries Board), ICSI (Indian Council of Small Industries),
IIE ( Indian Institute of Entrepreneurship), WASME (World association of Small and Medium
Enterprises), FICCI (Federation of Indian chamber of commerce and industry), WASME ( World
association for small and medium enterprises) and ASSOCHAM ( Associated chamber of
commerce and industry of India) The research concluded that MSMEs share of export (40%) and
aim behind the study was to measure manufacturing output of SMEs in relation to bank lending.
The period ranges between1992 to 2016. The analysis (Regression) revealed that there is
insignificant relation between manufacturing output and bank loan in respect to SMEs. The
neoclassical production function (Y=F (K, L)) was utilized to examine the impact of bank loan
on MSMEs manufacturing output. There are constant returns to scale and labour according to
neoclassical aggregate production function. The various tests like unit root test, Co-integration
Estimate, Short run Estimate were used for analysis in the study. The study concludes that there
is a great need of government genuine efforts in order to provide loan to needy people. There is
an utmost need to make MSMEs attractive by bringing changes in collateral and interest rate.
Rao et al (2016) conducted a research on MSMEs and its economic obstructions in India. He
observed that paucity of finance is the biggest hurdle in SMEs growth in South East Asian
countries. The banks, credit corporations and development banks are the main sources of finance
for SMEs. The growth and survival of MSMEs were largely dependent on investment capital,
working capital and set up capital. The primary data was collected through questionnaire using
likert scale from SMEs manager. Questionnaire was delivered to 300 managers of SMEs. The
performance was analyzed through by examining the financial obstacle of SMEs managers and
owners. The high weight age were given to external financing, less capital, costly raw material,
weightage points were advertising cost, expensive raw material price, high wholesale price,
promotional and training & development cost. The study framed policies for MSMEs in

Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) is used to verify the factor structure of a set of observed
variables. In this study, confirmatory factor analysis model is run through AMOS 21 software.
Further EFA, the succeeded phase was to assure those escorted parameters. The assurance phase,
systematically known as Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), was conducted utilizing AMOS
software with Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). Whole of the escorted parameters were
examined in a sole dimension design (Figure 1). The dimension design was aided grounded on
the uniform dimensions advised through variant scholars (Byrne, 2010; Hair et al., 2010; Kline,
2011). The design advanced for the research is revealed in figures below. 10 runs were
performed until the satisfactory ‘goodness of fit statistics’ was achieved. Model was developed
by performing CFA pertaining along with goodness of fit measures. The results of CFA are
