Establish a new ‘relief bank’ to restore the economic activities of MSMEs and provide relief for outstanding loans.

Why this status

The Central Bank and Finance Ministry have implemented SME debt-relief and recovery loan measures, including concessional lending and a new umbrella MSME framework. However, no new dedicated relief bank has been established, so the pledge is only partly met through alternative mechanisms.
