How a working capital loan for a Kurkumbh MIDC unit is structured

- 4What CCF does through the file
Where the unit stands today
The business operates from a plot or shed inside the estate on an owned or leased basis. The unit has a running production or trading activity. Cash flow is stretched by the cycle of purchasing raw materials, holding work-in-progress inventory and waiting for receivables. The business has an existing banking relationship and has outgrown its current limit due to a growing order book. This working capital requirement remains separate from any term exposure on machinery or the factory shed.
What the credit desk examines
The assessing officer reviews the turnover trend and the gap between purchases and sales. The bank evaluates stock holding periods and debtor ageing. The credit desk reconciles GST returns with bank statement credits. The final limit is built on projected turnover and the operating cycle against industry norms. Net worth and the hypothecation of current assets feed the sanction headroom. The facility is assessed either on a standalone basis or combined with a term loan component. In our files, lenders look first at how much of the turnover actually passes through the bank account and how the existing limit has been used, not at the average bank balance.
Where these files usually stall
Applications stall when stock and book debt statements do not match the filed GST returns. Files face delays if working capital is diverted into property or machinery purchases. Inflated sales projections that lack supporting e-way bill or dispatch data halt the assessment. A thin collateral offer without a structured guarantee blend creates a bottleneck. Fast growth on paper without matching bank credits stalls the file rather than leading to a direct decline.
What CCF does through the file
We review the existing banking relationship and the current limit. We work out a realistic limit against the actual turnover and the operating cycle. Credit Core Finance prepares stock, debtor and financial statements that tie directly to GST and bank data. We negotiate the structure when a bank asks for hard collateral beyond the promoter’s comfort, ensuring working capital is not diverted into buying property. We blend CGTMSE cover where it fits the sanction. We coordinate the valuation and site visit scheduling directly with the valuer and the bank. We stay in contact with the bank through the entire sanction process.
Working capital loan Kurkumbh?
A Kurkumbh MIDC file carries specific local markers that separate it from a generic application. A running factory or warehouse inside the estate provides a verifiable operating history. Real production and confirmed orders from the industrial zone serve as strong credit markers for the assessing bank. The physical presence of machinery, raw materials and dispatch activity supports the projected turnover figures. In CCF’s own records of more than 9,000 lender decisions, most rejections that carried a stated reason could have been seen before the file was submitted: the business location, banking conduct, the credit bureau report and existing borrowing.
CGTMSE guarantee cover available on the facility
The Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises provides guarantee cover on working capital facilities. Under Circular 250/2024-25 from CGTMSE, effective 01-Apr-2025, the scheme covers facilities up to ₹10 crore. Under CGS-I Clause 4 the ceiling depends on the lender category: up to ₹10 crore for public sector banks, private banks, foreign banks and select financial institutions; up to ₹200 lakh for small finance banks, RRBs, state financial institutions, scheduled UCBs and co-operative banks; and up to ₹50 lakh for micro finance institutions. This ceiling of ₹10 crore applies only for public sector, private and foreign banks and select financial institutions; the limit is ₹200 lakh for small finance banks, RRBs, state financial institutions, scheduled UCBs and co-operative banks; and ₹50 lakh for micro finance institutions. Under CGS-I Clause 4 the ceiling depends on the lender category: up to ₹10 crore for public sector banks, private banks, foreign banks and select financial institutions; up to ₹200 lakh for small finance banks, RRBs, state financial institutions, scheduled UCBs and co-operative banks; and up to ₹50 lakh for micro finance institutions.
The standard guarantee cover is 75 percent. An 85 percent cover band applies to a specific six-limb category: SC/ST entrepreneurs, aspirational-district MSEs, ZED-certified MSEs, persons with disability, micro enterprises with facilities up to ₹5 lakh, and transgender-promoted MSEs. A 90 percent combined category applies to women entrepreneurs and MSEs promoted by Agniveers. For units in the North Eastern Region, Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh, the cover is split at 80 percent up to ₹50 lakh and 75 percent above that amount. Under Circular 231/2023-24, units located in credit-deficient districts receive an uplift of 5 percentage points over the otherwise applicable cover, based on the list maintained by the Reserve Bank of India.
| Category | Standard cover |
|---|---|
| Standard | 75 percent |
| SC/ST, aspirational districts, ZED-certified, persons with disability, micro up to ₹5 lakh, transgender-promoted | 85 percent |
| Women entrepreneurs and MSEs promoted by Agniveers | 90 percent |
| NER, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh | 80 percent up to ₹50 lakh, 75 percent above |
| Credit-deficient district uplift | Additional 5 percentage points |
This percentage defines what portion of the sanctioned working capital limit is backed by the trust. It does not change the eligibility of the business for the loan, but it changes the unsecured portion the bank is willing to fund.
Guarantee fee: the standard AGF slabs
The trust charges an annual guarantee fee to maintain the cover on the cash credit limit. Under Circular 251/2024-25, effective for guarantees approved or renewed on or after 01-Apr-2025, there are seven standard slab rates. The standard rates are 0.37 percent, 0.55 percent, 0.60 percent, 0.85 percent, 1.00 percent, 1.10 percent and 1.20 percent per annum.
The risk premium is set at the lending institution level, never at the borrower level. Under Clause 8.3 of the scheme, the fee is inclusive of applicable GST.
In practice, the exact standard slab applied to a Kurkumbh unit depends on the category of the business and the risk classification set by the lending institution. This classification is not disclosed on an individual borrower basis.
Who qualifies for cover inside this facility
The scheme covers Micro and Small Enterprises. Medium enterprises sit outside the scheme. Under the MSME limits defined in S.O. 1364(E) dated 21-Mar-2025 and effective 01-Apr-2025, a micro enterprise has investment up to ₹2.5 crore and turnover up to ₹10 crore. A small enterprise has investment up to ₹25 crore and turnover up to ₹100 crore. A medium enterprise has investment up to ₹125 crore and turnover up to ₹500 crore.
Retail and wholesale trade units are eligible at par with manufacturing units, effective 01-Dec-2022 under Circular 210/2022-23. Educational and training institutions are also eligible under Circular 195/2021-22. Agriculture, self-help groups and joint liability groups are excluded. There is no industry blacklist. Clause 5 of the scheme carries seven facility-level exclusions, none of which name a specific industry.
Hybrid security: collateral alongside the guarantee
Under Clause 5(vi) of the scheme, a lender may take collateral for a part of the working capital facility. The remaining unsecured part up to the lender category’s ceiling can be covered by the guarantee. The ceiling of ₹10 crore applies only for public sector, private and foreign banks and select financial institutions; the limit is ₹200 lakh for small finance banks, RRBs, state financial institutions, scheduled UCBs and co-operative banks; and ₹50 lakh for micro finance institutions. Under CGS-I Clause 4 the ceiling depends on the lender category: up to ₹10 crore for public sector banks, private banks, foreign banks and select financial institutions; up to ₹200 lakh for small finance banks, RRBs, state financial institutions, scheduled UCBs and co-operative banks; and up to ₹50 lakh for micro finance institutions. The trust takes a notional second charge on the assets.
When a bank asks for hard collateral that would force the promoter to divert working capital into property, Credit Core Finance negotiates the structure. Credit Core Finance structures the hybrid security so the guarantee cover applies to the maximum eligible unsecured portion, reducing how much property the promoter has to commit. One of our recent cases: a business in Chakan secured a fresh ₹3.25 crore cash credit limit with CGTMSE cover on the entire amount.
Illustrative example
A manufacturing unit requires a ₹2 crore cash credit limit. The promoter offers a commercial property valued at ₹80 lakh as collateral. The bank secures ₹80 lakh of the limit against the property. The remaining ₹1.20 crore forms the unsecured portion. The bank applies for guarantee cover on this ₹1.20 crore unsecured part under the hybrid security clause.
