Meeting with Hon’ble Finance Minister of India
Today, President, Mr. Tashi Yontan, had the opportunity to meet with the Hon’ble Finance Minister of India, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, to discuss matters concerning the welfare of our union members.
During the meeting, Mr. Yontan formally requested that the bank loans to be provided to the members of our bike union under the Micro and Small Enterprises (MSE) category. This classification would enable our members to benefit from low-interest, government-subsidized loan schemes offered by financial institutions.
The Finance Minister acknowledged the concerns raised and responded positively. She requested that a comprehensive list of all union members be submitted to her department for further consideration and necessary action.
We are hopeful that this initiative will lead to meaningful support for our members and strengthen their financial wellbeing’s as other major stakeholders holders demand was to lower the interest of existing bank loan, our demand also the same but stressed more on getting new loan on subsidies rates.
