75% of the guaranteed amount will be paid by NCGTC within 30 days of an eligible claim being preferred by the MLI concerned. The balance 25% will be paid on conclusion of recovery proceedings or till the decree gets time barred, whichever is earlier

No. Extension of any guarantee or obtention of any fresh guarantee will make the guarantee cover provided by NCGTC under the scheme void.

NCGTC has already developed and circulated a module as per which the MLI ‘B’ can rectify the Bureau outstanding. It may, however, be noted that MLI ‘B’ should retain the document relating to Bureau outstanding as proof which would be required in case of claim settlement.

The Credit Guarantee from NCGTC would be unconditional and irrevocable.

If the underlying loan is unsecured in nature, no charge is required to be created/extended.

While a NBFC lender can charge a rate of interest higher than 14%, such a loan would not be eligible for guarantee coverage

MLI here refers to all lending institutions

The Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme provides 100% guarantee coverage by NCGTC to MLIs on GECL of up to Rs. 3 lakh crore to eligible MSMEs. MSMEs for the purpose of this Scheme will include MSMEs/ Business Enterprises which are constituted as Proprietorships, Partnerships, Registered Companies, Trusts and Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), interested borrowers under PMMY, and also loans to individuals for business purpose.

No. The annual turnover prescribed under the scheme is Rs.250 crore (inclusive of all taxes along with GST) for FY 2019-20.

The Scheme is a specific response to the unprecedented situation COVID-19. It seeks to provide much needed relief to the MSME sector by incentivizing MLIs to provide additional credit of up to Rs. 3 lakh crore at low cost, thereby enabling MSMEs to meet their operational liabilities and restart their businesses

In case a borrower has existing limits with multiple lenders, GECL may be availed either through one lender or each of the current lenders in proportion depending upon the agreement between the borrower and the MLI. In case the borrower wishes to take from any specific lender an amount more than the proportional 20% of the outstanding credit that the borrower has with that particular lender, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) would be required from such lenders whose share of loan under ECLGS is being proposed to be taken from the specific lender. However, it would be necessary for the specific lender to agree to provide loan under ECLGS on behalf of such lenders. No NOC will, however, be required if the GECL availed from a particular lender is limited to the proportional 20% of the outstanding credit that the borrower has with that lender.

A claim lodgement page shall be available on the portal, which is under development presently. The MLI shall furnish the details of the account which would include date of NPA, amount in default, status of legal action etc. The MLI may also be required to upload Management Certificate certifying certain details about the account. On submission of this claim, an e-mail shall go to the MLI that their claim has been lodged and NCGTC would initiate action to approve the claim request and arrange to pay 75% of the amount in default within 30 days of the claim date provided all requisite documents are submitted and the claim is found to be in order and complete in all respects. This shall be treated as Interim Claim. The MLI shall also furnish details of the recoveries made in the account and after adjusting such recoveries towards default amount relating to first charge and the legal costs incurred by them, remit the balance amount to NCGTC within 30 days, failing which MLI shall be required to pay the recovered amount along with interest at 2% over and above the prevailing repo rate from the date of recovery to the date of payment. On completion of the recovery Proceedings or till decree gets time barred, whichever is earlier, the MLI shall submit its claim for the balance 25% of the amount in default (net of recoveries, if not already remitted as above). Procedure for settlement of this Final Claim shall be the same as that of Interim Claim except that in the case of loans to individuals, Management Certificate shall be replaced by Statutory Auditor’s certificate.

The scheme is for business activities. Any activity that is classified as an MSME or a business enterprise as per various guidelines issued by RBI or any Ministry from time to time are eligible for coverage under the scheme. If the other norms of the scheme are complied with, these institutions shall stand eligible.

No, there are some validations in the system and hence modifications cannot be allowed. However, on specific request from registered (at the time of enrolment) mail id of the MLI, NCGTC would arrange to delete the guarantees issued and the MLI shall be able to apply afresh for the guarantee in respect of loan to such borrowers.

Mere transfer of loan from one lender to the other will not invalidate the customer or reduce the maximum loan eligibility available to such customer under this scheme, provided the lender taking over is also eligible under the scheme as per the criteria defined in the scheme guidelines. MLIs should note that the overall loan under the scheme will be capped at overall outstanding as on 29th Feb, 2020

Yes, business loans availed by individuals for their own businesses shall be eligible under the scheme. However, the MLI shall have to submit a suitable Management Certificate at the time of lodgement of guarantee application.

The Scheme would be applicable to all loans sanctioned under GECL during the period from May 23, 2020 to 31st October, 2020, or till an amount of Rs. 3 lakh crore is sanctioned under GECL, whichever is earlier

Yes, you are eligible, provided you meet the other eligibility criteria of the scheme.

No, NOC would be required from the respective lenders whose share of ECLGS loan, the borrower wants to avail from one particular lender. It may, however, be necessary here for the particular lender to agree to provide assistance under ECLGS on behalf of these other lenders.

Please address your queries/suggestions to ceo@ncgtc.in

No . Typically lending institutions get funds from banks/ NBFCs through on lending, refinance, asset purchase, securitization, assignment etc. There are therefore other windows available including the Partial Credit Guarantee Scheme and the Special Liquidity Facility.

Yes, MLIs will be required to submit an Undertaking to NCGTC for the purpose of this Scheme.

Yes, they are eligible, provided they meet the other eligibility norms of the scheme and The lender should have reported loans extended by it on the Mudra portal.

As per RBI guidelines dated September 04, 2019 & February 26, 2020, all loans to MSMEs must be benchmarked to one of the external benchmark rates. Banks are free to decide the spread over the external benchmark as per their approved policies. Accordingly, loans under the ECLGS must adhere to the above-mentioned guidelines and linked to the external benchmark rates. As part of the Scheme, overall lending rate is capped at 1% above the external benchmark lending rate or 9.25% p.a. whichever is lower. Loans which are allowed not to be benchmarked to external rates shall be capped at maximum of 9.25%. For e.g. for Bank ABC External Benchmark Lending Rate is 7.80 %; i.e. RBI Repo Rate (4.0%) + Spread (3.80%). For the purpose of this scheme the lending rate would be Min of (7.8% + 1% = 8.8% and 9.25%) = 8.8% in this case. For e.g. for Bank ABC1 External Benchmark Lending Rate is 8.50 %; i.e. RBI Repo Rate (4.0%) + Spread (4.50%). For the purpose of this scheme the lending rate would be Min of (8.5% + 1% = 9.5% and 9.25%) = 9.25% in this case.

No, it would not become void. Eligibility is reckoned at the time of sanction of the loan. Clause 6 of the Undertaking furnished by MLIs shall therefore stand deleted.

Since additional credit under GECL is to be provided to existing customers, no additional processing fee shall be charged by lenders.

The facilities provided under ECLGS are eligible for securitization. Since the facility is to be opened as a separate loan account it can be treated at par with normal loans for securitization purpose. Other conditions of eligibility must be fulfilled.

No. Existing loans extended through current Government schemes would continue to be categorized under that scheme as earlier. GECL under this Scheme shall be over and above the existing loan.

The credit under GECL will rank second charge with the existing credit facilities in terms of cash flows (including repayments) and securities, with charge on the assets financed under the Scheme to be created within a period of 3 months from the date of disbursal.

Yes

NCGTC has issued the detailed operational guidelines for the Scheme. The Management Committee for ECLGS fund will have the authority to approve any changes to the current structure of the Scheme/ operational guidelines.

Yes, interest rates on GECL shall be capped as under: For Banks and FIs, one of the RBI prescribed external benchmark linked rates +1% subject to a maximum of 9.25% per annum For NBFCs, the interest rate on GECL shall not exceed 14% per annum The Scheme may also be operated in combination with applicable interest subvention schemes, as far as feasible.

A page would be created on the portal for takeover cases wherein MLI ‘B’ would have to enter certain details about the borrower being taken over from MLI ‘A’– it would include fields like borrower name, names of MLIs ‘A’ & ‘B’, CGPAN number of MLI ‘A’, loan account number, Management Certificate of having taken over the loan, etc. On submission of the same, NCGTC would verify the details of transfer and on approval, fresh CGPAN number shall be generated for MLI ‘B’ and a mail shall go to the registered mail ids of the two MLIs about shift of guarantee from MLI ‘A’ to MLI ‘B’. There would be no change in the repayment schedule, which should be as per scheme guidelines and both MLIs should ensure the same.

The lender can release his charge, but continue to hold the securities on behalf of NCGTC till clearance of entire dues under the scheme.

No additional collateral shall be asked by MLIs for additional credit extended under GECL.

No format has been prescribed under the scheme. MLIs may use whatever they have been following till now.

This will be advised in due course through additional guidelines to be issued.

Yes, all scheduled RRBs are eligible. It may be mentioned here that subsequent to amalgamation of certain RRBs which were previously scheduled, they are yet to be included in Second Schedule of RBI Act, but considering that RBI has already commenced the process to include them in the Schedule which may take some time and the fact that they were earlier scheduled, they are also eligible under ECLGS.

ECLGS scheme is only for existing borrowers on the books of the banks as on 29th Feb 2020. Any new borrower can, however, be covered under the ongoing CGTMSE and NCGTC schemes.

The Operational Guidelines of the scheme provide for second charge only on securities available with an MLI. Nowhere any mention of obtention of any guarantee was stipulated. The said FAQ was not an amendment to the guidelines, but just a clarification. MLIs who have obtained guarantee in any form may take necessary steps to get the same cancelled to ensure continuity of guarantee cover.

Yes

This is a pre-approved loan. An offer will go out from the MLI to the eligible borrowers for a preapproved loan which the borrower may choose to accept. If the MSME accepts the offer, it will be required to complete requisite documentation. Thus, an ‘opt-out’ option will be provided to eligible borrowers under the Scheme, i.e., if the borrower is not interested in availing the loan, he/she may indicate accordingly.

The facility cannot be provided in respect of closed accounts. Hence, Entity ‘B’ would be entitled to 20% of outstanding of entity ‘B’ alone, subject to meeting of other eligibility criteria prescribed under the scheme. However, if the constitution of entity ‘A’ gets changed to entity ‘B’ (and PAN gets changed) subsequent to February 29, 2020, then entity ‘B’ shall be eligible for assistance as entity ‘A’ would have become eligible, had it continued to be in existence.

No documents are sought at the time of application lodgement of guarantee, except in the case of individual loans where a management certificate certifying that the original loan was for business purposes..

The second charge assumes the nature of first charge after payment of full dues of first charge holder. However, if the assets against which second charge was created itself are not there, then the facility extended under ECLGS would become unsecured. New assets would not be required for creating or sustaining the charge.

Yes, disbursement can be availed after October 31, 2020, but latest by December 31, 2020.

The guarantee is available to the existing lender for the additional loan extended during the specified period. Thus, the lenders on whose book these borrowers currently are can provide these facilities provided the borrowers meet all the eligible conditions as defined in the scheme guidelines. It should be noted that the eligible amount for loan under ECLGS is 20% of the outstanding amount as on 29th Feb 2020. The buyer of the pool should be an MLI under the Scheme.
