13. Criticisms
 In the first place, the rate of interest which the
corporation charged was extremely high.
 Secondly, there was a great delay in sanctioning
loans and in making the amount of the loans
available
 Thirdly, the ‘corporation’s insistence on the personal
guarantee of managing directors in addition to the
mortgage of property was considered wrong In the
last two decades the corporation had entered into
new lines of activity, viz, underwriting debentures
and shares and guaranteeing of deferred payment in
respect of imports from abroad of plant an
equipment by industrial concerns and subscribing to
stocks and shares of industrial concerns directly.
