The main lacuna in formal source of credit is that they have many elaborate rules and regulations which they expect their customers to follow which the informal credit providers do not have but rate of interest is very high. x. Therefore, the banks and other co–operative societies should lend more and more loans to the farmers on easy and understandable terms which would lead to higher incomes for the lenders and benefit large number of farmers and would also free them from clutches of blood sucking money–lenders. xi. The data shows that only 15% and 47% of very poor farmers and poor farmers avail loans from banks etc respectively, whereas 72 to 90% of loans from formal sources are availed by well–off and rich households of rural areas.
