This document proposes policy recommendations to address issues in India's microfinance sector. It summarizes that while microfinance in Bangladesh has been successful in alleviating poverty, it has failed to have the same effect in India due to cut-throat competition between MFIs over a small area. This has led to problems like multiple lending, over-indebtedness, lack of transparency and coercive loan recovery practices. The document then outlines specific policy recommendations to address issues like multiple lending, coercive collection practices, improving transparency and flexible repayment cycles.
