Rs 2,50,000 liquidated

The Finance Minister spoke exclusively about the 'outreach programme' that had two phases. The two phases were during the Navratri season and the second before and after Diwali. Further, crushing claims about there being no liquidity in the market, the Finance Minister said that after the outreach programme, the total liquidity that went into the hands of people under various categories was Rs 2,50,000 crores. She claimed the NBFCs (Non-banking Financial Companies) due to the increased liquidity recieved over Rs 16,000 crores and said the problem was 'not about no availability of liquidity but the non-availability of those who wanted to use it'.
