Dear Sir,

Master Circular Priority Sector Lending- Special Programmes Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY)

Reserve Bank of India has, periodically, issued instructions/directives to banks with regard to operationalisation of the Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY). To enable banks to have current instructions at one place, a Master Circular incorporating all the existing guidelines/instructions/directives on the scheme has been prepared and is appended. We advise that this Master Circular consolidates all the previous instructions issued by RBI from time to time till date, which are listed in Annexure III.

Please acknowledge receipt.

 Yours faithfully,
