i) Working capital credit limits to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in individual cases up to Rs.5.00 Crore (Manufacturing sector) and upto Rs.2.00 Crore (Service sector) will be computed as per existing guidelines on the basis of minimum 20% of their projected annual turnover (turnover method). However in case of borrower applying for working capital limit higher or lower than the working capital computed on the basis of turnover method shall be assessed as per actual requirement.

ii) For assessment of the working capital requirement for borrowers falling within the band of above Rs.5.00 crores and below Rs.10.00Crore (Manufacturing sector) and above Rs.2.00 Crore and below Rs.10.00 Crore (service sector) the traditional method of computing MPBF as per second method of lending will continue. If any of the borrower falling in this band intends to shift to cash budget system, the same may be accepted.

iii) For borrowers having working capital limit of Rs.10.00 crores and above, Cash Budget system will be applicable.. However, if a borrower is desirous to continue with the existing MPBF system the Bank may accept the request. If any of the borrowers falling in this band intends to shift to cash budget system, the same may be accepted.

11.2.Term Loan :

i. In case of term loan, Debt Equity Ratio (DER) should not normally be above 3:1.However, in case of captital intensive industries, the same may be considered 5.00:1.

ii. In case of Term Loan, minimum Average DSCR of 1.30:1 will be considered as reasonable requirement for any New connection. relaxation may however be considered on merit of the case by the sanctioning authority not below the rank of Zonal Head .

iii. Apart from calculating Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), it is suggested to observe the expected cash surplus i.e. the cushion available as detailed in the format. The projected closing cash balance at the end of each year must be at least 50% of the proposed repayment of the installment of the term liabilities for the respective year.

iv. Moratorium period depending on requirement of the project/proposal will be considered.

v. The existing moratorium period may be extended by further six months in respect of loans availed by MSMEs where project implementation has been delayed in the current scenario.

vi. The finance for purchase of Gensets will also be considered on merit of the case.

11.3. The technical feasibility and economic, financial, commercial viability,Managerial competence, environment viability and bank-ability of the proposal with reference to risk will be assessed.

11.4. Other benchmark financial ratios like Current Ratios, Tenure etc. will be in line with the Bank’s lending policy.

11.1

Stand by Credit Facility

The assessment of working capital requirements under various methods of assessment is based on the projected build up of current assets/cash gaps /length of the working capital cycle etc. However many a times requests do emanate from the borrowers for drawings over and above the regular sanctioned limits for short periods to over come problems faced due to factors such as bunching of orders, mismatches in cash flow, to make price competitive over competitors etc. In this Back drop it has been decided to have a "Short Term Loan Facility" as under:
