In order to boost liquidity in to the housing finance system, and to augment demand of housing finance companies (HFC), the National Housing Bank (NHB) launched a scheme titled Liquidity Infusion Facility (LIFT) to address the issue. The objective of the scheme is to support HFCs to create individual housing loan portfolio under priority sector. This in turn would act as a catalyst to raise more resources from banks or the debt market. The total amount allocated for this scheme is Rs. 10,000 crore. The scheme is valid till June-end, 2020. That said, the HFCs which are registered with HNB with a minimum internal ration of “B” are eligible to avail the facility.
