Answer Book question

Why do scheme applications take so long?

Because they pass through several hands. your application, the department's scrutiny, the bank's appraisal, a committee, sanction, disbursement, inspection, subsidy release. and each hand waits for the previous one. Three to nine months is normal. Incomplete documents add months. Political seasons and fiscal-year ends add more.
