5. Savita is a small farmer of Palampur ; on what basis did she get loan from the money
lender Tejpalsingh? Would it have been different if the bank had given her loan at a low
rate of interest
Answers
Explanation:
Yes. Savita's condition would have been better if she could get a loan from the bank. The bank would have provided her the loan at a low rate of interest. Moreover, Savita could have devoted more time on her own field instead of working for Tejpal Singh as farm labourer

Answer:
Savita, a small farmer, in order to cultivate wheat on her 1 hectare of land, decides to borrow money from Tejpal Singh a large farmer on the following terms:
(i) Tejpal Singh agrees to give Savita the loan at an interest rate of 24 percent for four months which is a very high-interest rate. Savita also has to promise to work in his field as a farm labourer during the harvest season at Rs. 35 per day.
(ii) The rate of interest charged by Tejpal Singh was higher than that of banks. If Savita had taken the loan from the bank, interest would have been lower and she could have easily repaid the loan and her condition would have been far better.
