LENDING FOR HOUSING CAN BE STREAMLINED BY RESTRICTING THE QUANTUM OF LOAN AMOUNT, AND QUANITT OF HOUSING UNITS FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL FAMILY.

THE INVESTMENTS FLOWN TO CAPITAL MARKET MAY NOT BE TREATED AS INVESTMENTS AVAILABLE FOR INDUSTRY SINCE, BOTH ARE DIFFERENT AREAS OF OPERATION THOUGH ONE IS DEPENDENT ON THE OTHER. INDUSTRIAL PERFORMANCE SHOULD REFLECT ON THE CAPITAL MARKET AND WHICH SHOULD NOT BE OTHERWAY ROUND.
