Fund and non-fund based (Letters of Credit, Bank Guarantee etc.) credit facilities up to Rs.100 lakh per eligible borrower are covered under the guarantee scheme provided they are extended purely on the project viability without collateral security or third party guarantee
The lender has to follow the guidelines issued by RBI regarding charging of interest on the credit. However, the rate of interest shall not exceed 3% over and above Prime Lending Rate (PLR) of the lender. This is exclusive of the fee payable to the Trust.
