Marginal Cost of Funds Lending Rate (MCLR) introduced 1 April 2016 is internally computed by each bank based on marginal cost of funds, negative carry on CRR, operating cost and tenor premium. External Benchmark Lending Rate (EBLR) mandated by RBI Circular dated 04-09-2019 — effective 01-10-2019 — requires all floating-rate retail and Micro & Small Enterprise (MSE) loans to be linked to an external benchmark (RBI Repo Rate, 3-month T-Bill, 6-month T-Bill or any other FBIL benchmark). The bank cannot offer a non-EBLR floating rate to retail or MSE post-October 2019. EBLR transmits monetary policy faster than MCLR.

The six-statement bank-format package - existing and proposed limits, operating statement, analysis of balance sheet, comparative current-asset and current-liability position, maximum permissible bank finance computation and fund-flow - that a bank uses to appraise working-capital and term-loan requirements. It is the single most scrutinised document in a credit file.
A narrative-plus-financial document setting out the promoter profile, business model, technical feasibility, market assessment, cost of project, means of finance and multi-year projected profitability and cash flow. It justifies the term-loan quantum and repayment tenure and is mandatory for greenfield units and scheme-linked loans such as PMEGP.
The self-declared MSME registration on the Udyam portal that fixes the enterprise's micro/small/medium classification. It is the eligibility key for CGTMSE cover, priority-sector pricing, delayed-payment protection and most government credit-linked subsidies, and banks require it up front for any MSME proposal.
The e-form through which a company registers with the Registrar of Companies a charge created on its assets to secure bank borrowing (hypothecation of stock/receivables or mortgage of property). Banks routinely make disbursement or continued limit availability conditional on its timely filing.
The application a member lending institution files on the CGTMSE portal to obtain guarantee cover for a collateral-free loan to an eligible micro or small enterprise. It records the sanctioned amount, activity and borrower details and, once approved, gives the bank fall-back cover that lets the borrower avoid pledging collateral.
The lender's prescribed application capturing constitution, KYC of the entity and guarantors, facility sought, security offered and consent for CIBIL/credit-bureau pull. It is bundled with financial statements, bank statements, GST returns and the credit report to form the complete proposal placed before the sanctioning authority.
Every claim on this page can be traced back to a section or rule below.
The Reserve Bank of India's Master Direction on Loans and Advances is the umbrella framework governing how banks appraise, sanction, disburse and monitor credit. For a business borrower it dictates the working-capital assessment methods banks may use (turnover method for limits up to Rs 5 crore, and the Maximum Permissible Bank Finance / CMA method above that), the margin and drawing-power rules on cash-credit accounts, and the periodicity of renewal. In loan advisory we align the client's project report and CMA projections to these appraisal expectations so the credit committee has no reason to trim or reject the limit. Understanding this Direction is what lets an advisor predict the eligible quantum before the file is even lodged.
View sourceUnder RBI's Priority Sector Lending framework, scheduled commercial banks must channel 40 percent of Adjusted Net Bank Credit into priority sectors, with a defined sub-target for micro enterprises. Loans to MSMEs, agriculture-allied units and certain export and education borrowers qualify as PSL. For an eligible business this matters because banks actively seek PSL-compliant proposals to meet regulatory targets, which improves both the pricing and the speed of sanction. A core part of loan advisory is establishing and documenting PSL eligibility - correct Udyam classification, activity codes and end-use - so the borrower is positioned as a target-fulfilling asset rather than an ordinary commercial exposure. This framing frequently unlocks lower interest rates and collateral relaxations.
View sourceThe Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act 2006 defines the investment-and-turnover thresholds that classify an enterprise as micro, small or medium, operationalised today through Udyam Registration. Correct classification is the gateway to almost every concessional lending benefit: CGTMSE collateral-free cover, priority-sector pricing, PMEGP and Mudra eligibility, and government subsidy schemes. In loan advisory we verify that the client's Udyam certificate reflects the right category, that investment in plant and machinery and turnover are computed on the prescribed basis, and that the classification is consistent with the financials submitted to the bank. A mismatch between Udyam status and the balance sheet is a common reason concessional benefits are denied at sanction stage.
View sourceThe Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises provides a guarantee cover to member lending institutions against default on collateral-free credit extended to eligible micro and small enterprises. Cover extends to substantial limits with a graded guarantee percentage, letting a viable but asset-light business raise term and working-capital finance without pledging land or property. In loan advisory the objective is to structure the proposal so the bank routes it under CGTMSE - confirming the activity is eligible, keeping the exposure within scheme ceilings, and ensuring the borrower is prepared for the annual guarantee-fee outflow. Many first-generation Chennai entrepreneurs are bankable only because of this scheme, so getting the documentation scheme-compliant is central to the advice.
View sourceSection 77 obliges a company that creates a charge on its assets - which is what happens when it hypothecates stock or mortgages property to secure a bank loan - to register that charge with the Registrar of Companies within 30 days of creation, in Form CHG-1. Registration within the extended windows is possible on payment of additional and ad valorem fees, but an unregistered charge is void against a liquidator and other creditors, which can jeopardise the bank's security and, in practice, its willingness to disburse. For corporate borrowers, loan advisory includes coordinating timely CHG-1 filing with the lender, because banks routinely make disbursement or continued limit availability conditional on charge registration.
View sourceSection 43B provides that certain expenses, including interest on any loan or borrowing from a scheduled bank, NBFC or financial institution, are deductible only in the year the interest is actually paid, not merely accrued. Critically, unpaid interest that is converted into a fresh loan or funded interest term loan is not treated as paid and stays disallowed until genuinely discharged. For a stressed borrower who reschedules or has interest funded, this is a real tax trap. In loan advisory we track interest actually paid versus accrued and flag any funding or conversion arrangement, so the client neither overclaims a disallowed deduction nor misses a legitimate one in the year of payment.
View sourceBusinesses registered in George Town share the Chennai North jurisdiction, and their statutory matters route through the same Sowcarpet Division each time.

“FilingPro shopped our ₹3 crore working capital across five banks — three PSU and two private. The final sanction came in 80 basis points below our incumbent bank's offer with full processing fee waiver and CERSAI charges absorbed by the bank. Independent advisory clearly works — no DSA can negotiate this hard.”
“As a first-time SC borrower in George Town, FilingPro mapped my project to Stand-Up India ₹35 lakh composite loan. The branch-level processing was supported through completed dossier and CMA data. Sanction in 38 days at the lowest applicable bracket — ROI well below the indicative card rate.”
“My Mudra Tarun Plus application of ₹18 lakh was structured by FilingPro with the bank's credit officer pre-aligned. CGFMU guarantee, NIL foreclosure penalty and EBLR-linkage all confirmed in writing. Disbursed in 21 days. Truly senior advisory — they explained every clause in the sanction letter.”
“FilingPro identified that our existing bank was charging us BPLR-linked rate post-October 2019 — a clear breach of the RBI EBLR Mandate. They got us migrated to Repo + 2.85% spread, retroactively saving ~140 basis points. Banking Ombudsman complaint was prepared as backup but the bank settled at branch level.”
“For a balance transfer of ₹6.2 crore from NBFC to PSU bank, FilingPro ran the breakeven analysis, secured the takeover sanction at Repo + 3.10%, coordinated MOD release and CERSAI re-creation. Net IRR savings of ₹38 lakh over residual tenure. Strong command of EBLR and CGTMSE re-coverage.”
“During COVID stress, FilingPro applied the RBI Resolution Framework 2.0 of 05-May-2021 to restructure our ₹1.4 crore term loan without NPA downgrade — 18-month moratorium and tenure elongation negotiated. CIBIL preserved. Without their intervention we would have slipped to SMA-2 and lost bank credit.”
