KARACHI - The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has allowed the banks and Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) to assign clean credit card and personal loan limits up to a maximum of Rs 5 million with a sub-limit of Rs 2 million on clean personal loans to their “Prime Customers”. The higher clean limits facility has been provided to banks and DFIs with a view to providing flexible treatment to their prime customers.

In view of this facility to prime customers, the following paragraph has been added after Paragraph 3 of Regulation R-7 of Prudential Regulations for consumer financing.
