There are some key immoralities that I have originated during the field investigation about different MFI's in Pakistan (Kasur & Lahore Zones). These issues are whistling huge obstacles in regards of poverty mitigation and intensification in Pakistan microfinance sector.

PMN (Pakistan Microfinance Network), State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and others NGO's/MFI's are dynamically annoying to resolve these destructions but still not thrive entirely.

It is surveyed that, deprived community getting the credit from different MFI's for the growth of their businesses, but they are using these loans or credits for their individual private exercises like, educational fees of their children, medical expenses, home maintenance, for paying their loans (the amount which is borrow from their connections or restricted money lenders) etc.

As per MFI's aim, microcredit facilities are for poor people with indemnity that it must be used in the expansion or strengthening of their businesses. Even all banks/institutions/foundations loans officers are familiar very well with this attitude of poor peoples to take advantage of MFI's money for their individual desires, loan officer and even branch managers always endorse and disburse the amount with this pledge only that people will pay the loans installments in time to attain for their assigned monthly loans targets. Even the loan officers or any MFI's branch manager never like to confirm whether the disbursed amount is using for productive or non-productive determinations.

Client side (particularly in women), borrow the money from the MFI's for business intentions and these women are giving this money to other deprived women more than banks interest rates (it should be clear that already microfinance banks loans rate of interest are too much high), due to illiteracy and lack of information about the MFI's and their loan programs. All these women involved in this diversion are utilizing microcredit amenities for non-productive purposes. As per interviewed by different MFI's officers, about 80% to 85% MFI's clients are using credit money in non-productive habits. It shows that mainstream of the poor community just getting the loans not for any business expansion or for new business setup; they are getting the loans only for their individual desires fulfillment.

To eradicate this problem, approach should be only that MFI's delivers assets base facilities (Assets Based Loans-Islamic Lending Methodology) to the pitiable community. In this way any MFI can put the check & balance on the creditors as well as there will be no recovery problems and can also analysis the problems which poor are facing during the business growth. Education, medical facility and some others form of social help should be also part of these asset based loans. There should be also arrangement for loan product consciousness to the targeted communities.
