Need money ? Take Loan of
Rs. 50 Lakhs, without any Collateral, from FSIA help-desk*
“Collateral Free Loans” – arranged by FSIA à in Times of “Recession”, à
for your benefit ü
Do you Purchase small
Tools, Dies and Moulds ? Testing Equipments ? Do you take loan against all of
these ? ü
Do you always
purchase Invertor, Generator, Batteries on Loan ? ü
Do you always take
Loan for small items like Computers, Printers, …. ü
Have you been alloted
some HSIIDC Flat recently ? Loan tie up to make ? ü
Planning to Applying
for the IMT Faridabad plots… Bank not ready to finance the application money ? ü
Do you need Emergency
Working Capital ? ü
Are you Planning to
follow up with Private Banks for an Unsecured Loan ? ü
Do Unsecured Loans
from Pvt Banks carry high rate of interest (18%
to 24%) The Core idea is We all purchase a lot of small value Fixed Assets. And usually we don’t
take loan for those Assets . The Core LOSS to your business is The Loss is that you block your working capital funds ( money in hand)
into fixed assets. Ideally Fixed Assets must come from Long Term funds. Here you
don’t, so, you lose liquidity. Meltdown
in the World Economy The world economy is undergoing a “Recession”, “Meltdown”,
“Depression”, for many sectors , like Auto, Textile exports etc. Indian Businessmen are facing the heat too. Funds are getting scarce Private Banks are getting giddy, on giving loans. Customers are delaying payments . è
Liquidity Crunch is there. A
Reality, most of us are facing. FSIA in the service of the Businesses For
the first Time in India SIDBI
has selected an Industrial Association as a Front-Desk, for selection of
businesses for grant of quick Collateral Free Loans.
FSIA has entered into an MOU with the SIDBI for grant of quick Collateral
Free Loans. A Quick look at the Features of this Quick
“SIDBI-FSIA-Loan” ü
There is no Collateral. o
The Strength for proposal shall be your Balance Sheet
+ FSIA recommendation. o
And moral pressure for Timely repayment is also that
on the FSIA. ü
Nodal Bank is SIDBI and Front Desk
is FSIA office o
That is the faith of SIDBI on your association ü
Moratorium is possible o
Usually, there is no moratorium on EMI-based unsecured
Loans. o
Here you can take upto 3 to 6 months ( on merits ) ü
Ballooning option o
Usually EMI’s are Equal Monthly instalments during
the tenure o
Here you can plan your own. You may repay Rs. 20K p.m.
in First year, Rs. 30K p.m. in second year, and Rs. 50K p.m in 5th
year. ü
Rate of Interest o
Rate of Intt on unsecured Pvt Bank Loans is about
18%-24%. o
Here it will be SIDBI’s PLR , minus 0.5%. o
Just an Example, the current PLR of ICICI Bank is
17.5% o
And the Current PLR of SIDBI is just 12.5% o
And in this scheme, you will get at 12% ü
Rate of interest shall be Floating o
We at FSIA editorial board, feel that the Rate of
interests may go down in near future. o
Our President, Mr Rajive Chawla was in Hong-Kong Last
week, attending the World SME Conference, as part of Indian delegation. o
The News he has brought on Interest front is that, in
USA, the rate of interest is currently nearly ZERO %. In Japan, also around ZERO
%. In Europe, between 1-2%. So, Indian Banks cannot and will not continue at 12
to 15% Rate of interest. o
So, FSIA has organized Floating interest for this
scheme. o
ü
NOC of the Existing Bank ? o
No, it is not required. o
SIDBI will just intimate the existing banker, if any. o
No permission is required . ü
o
Yes, it will be done. o
But no NOC will be asked for from the existing banker.
ü
Who will be carrying out financial
due diligence and preliminary scrutiny of
the loan eligibility. ? -- FSIA (
However SIDBI ‘s decision shall be final and binding) ü
