&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;IDFC Bharat Ltd&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is a [[microfinance]] bank (Formerly known as Grama Vidiyal), operating in the [[Tamil Nadu]] area of [[South India]].  Since 1993, it has provided small loans to women without access to formal [[credit (finance)|credit]] and who typically have daily incomes of less than [[Indian rupee|INR]] 80 (US$2) per day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
In 2007, Grama Vidiyal transformed from a charitable trust to a regulated Non-Bank Financial Company ([[NBFC]]).  Its status as an NBFC brings Grama Vidiyal under the purview of government regulation but will permit the firm to take on larger amounts of equity capital.  Grama Vidiyal expects continued rapid growth, reaching  more than two million clients by expanding to other states of India with an excess of [[Rs.]]15 billion (US$400,000,000) in loans outstanding by 2012.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation | url = http://indiamicrofinance.com/grama-vidiyal-microfinance.html | title= Grama Vidiyal grows its loan portfolio newspaper }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
