Poor Households still depend on informal sources of credit because:- . Banks are not present everywhere on rural area. . Even when they are present getting a loan from the bank is much more difficult than tabbing a loan from informal sources. . Mega banks or public sector banks require proper documents and collateral. . Absence of collateral is of one of the major reasons which prevent the poor from getting bank loans. . Informal lenders such as money lenders they know the borrowers personally and they are willing to give a loan without collateral.
