HDFC said in a statement that with the help of its nationwide network of 650 branches and over 1.36 lakh banking access points (post offices), it will offer loans to customers.
IPPB Managing Director J Venkataramu said access to loans is essential for financial inclusion as no bank or financial institution provides home loans to a significant segment of customers.
HDFC Managing Director Renu Sood Karnad said that in line with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, this association will go a long way in providing affordable housing to all. Let us inform that under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana PMAY, more than 250,000 beneficiaries of HDFC have benefited.
