Bank credit to the housing sector has grown by only 12.1 per cent year on year as per latest RBI data. This is far lower than the 15.9 per cent growth rate of aggregate bank credit.

Sources concerned said that the Indian Banks Association (IBA), which is the umbrella organisation for banks, has already submitted a report on unsold real estate projects.
