The MFI in India has been facing a lot of challenges in India recently. The challenges faced by MFI’s are listed below:
• The deliver cost of MFI has been unusually very high. So this adds to a lot of pressure on the MFI which is not so among banks. The operating cost is around 7.5% for visiting a client.
• Most of the MFI’s are facing infrastructure issues which lead to a very high initial installation cost.
• The difficulty faced by the MFI’s has been to understand the issues faced by the rural people. So, the credit understanding of the rural people is convoluted.
• The interest rates charged by the MFI’s have been very high as compared to the bank because the MFI’s borrow the funds from the commercial banks. They pay around 12 per cent

FUTURE OF MFI’S IN INDIA:

Further thought and analysis leads one to believe that the benefits of a merger would far outweigh the drawbacks such as less confusing regulations and better complaint/conflict resolution processes. Such a move will also allow for more efficient operations with major companies that currently have to deal with both the MFDA and the IIROC separately. For example, where currently a company will have two separate departments dealing with both agencies separately, in an environment where there is one merged agency there will only be a need for one department.

Governments and donors have to realize that financial systems and functioning networks of MFIs evolve over long periods of time. It contributes to development, but requires a climate of broader development to be fully effective, both macro economically and at the local level.
