While appreciating the efforts put in by Baldev Prakash for the said Special Scheme. However, at the same time as mentioned the Scheme is valid for 30 working days for which the sanction or otherwise will be conveyed within seven working days of the receipt of application with a maximum repayment period of six months. “The Kashmir Chamber of Commerce & Industry requested the Bank Authorities not to make the Special Scheme time bound and extend the repayment time of six months as the Covid restrictions started all over India that affects the business community directly.”
