Dear Sir/Madam,

MASTER CIRCULAR ON HOUSING FINANCE

As you are aware, in order to have all current instructions on a subject at one place, the Reserve Bank of India had issued a Master Circular DBOD.DIR(HSG.) No.8/08.12.01/2009-10 dated July 1, 2009 on the captioned subject, which is now updated up to 30th June 2010. It may be noted that the Master Circular consolidates and updates all the instructions contained in the circulars listed in the Appendix, in so far they relate to providing bank finance to the housing sector. This Master Circular also incorporates instructions contained in certain clarifications issued by RBI to banks during the course of the year. The Master Circular has also been placed on the RBI web-site (http://www.rbi.org.in). A copy of the revised Master Circular is enclosed.

Yours faithfully,
(A.K.Khound)
Chief General Manager
