August 2017
The Swachh Bharat Mission has unlocked the latent demand for toilets in urban areas in Maharashtra. Our studies in cities of Maharashtra suggest that, for many families, access to funds remain a constraint. This report focuses on assessing the possibility of enabling sanitation credit in urban areas in Maharashtra by a range of financial institutions. It provides an assessment of size/scale and performance of financial institutions, and the related institutional and regulatory framework for each financial institution type in general and in Maharashtra. It focuses on assessing their current and potential role in providing sanitation credit to households for building good quality toilets.
