Following are the key changes in funding strategies-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The RBI under the new guideline\nallows a one-time restructuring of existing debt extending up to Rs. 25 crores\nfor companies who have defaulted in the payment but the loans provided to them\ncontinue to be termed as standard assets. This decision will at par help MSMEs\nin facing the cash crunch due to the dual effect of demonetization and GST\nimplementation.<\/li><li>The current scheme is only\napplicable to the accounts having an outstanding value of Rs. 250 million or\nless. In addition to this, whether it is in default or not, the loans have to\nbe classified as &ldquo;standard&rdquo; as of 1<sup>st<\/sup> January 2019 to be eligible\nfor restructuring. If the account has already been downgraded, then this scheme\nwould not be applicable to them. This current scheme will prevent the\nrestructured loan to be classified as a non-performance asset.<\/li><li>Separately, the RBI announced\nthat the overall non-performing asset ratio, which is a percentage of bad loans\nto all loans, in the banking sector, has gone down for the first time since\n2015 falling to 10.8% in 2018. <\/li><li>The Banks and NBFCs who are\ndesirous of adopting this scheme have to put aboard-approved policy on the restructuring\nof MSME advances within a month from the date of circular. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Evolving needs of MSMEs &ndash; The New Funding Strategies <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The new banking strategies include launching new products and hand holding the existing MSME borrowing which will improve the cash flow prediction models and GST compliance. <\/li><li>Currently, the funding to MSME is based solely on pledged immovable properties. These credits are often termed as loan-against <a class=\"glossaryLink\"  aria-describedby=\"tt\"  data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Property&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;Property refers to the legal designation of ownership over valuable items or assets held by an individual or a business.

This mechanism had a negative impact on the MSMEs as it strained the finances because of delayed refunds, which lead to an increase in demand for working capital.<\/li><li>The compliance burden on the SMEs will also tend to ease because of the GST councils decision to include enterprises having a turnover of less than Rs. 1.5 crore for filing GST returns on a quarterly <a class=\"glossaryLink\"  aria-describedby=\"tt\"  data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Basis&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;In finance, the &amp;quot;basis&amp;quot; is a term with several applications, including representing the difference between the spot price and the future contract price of an asset, which is vital in investment(...)&lt;\/div&gt;\"  href=\"https:\/\/enterslice.com\/learning\/terms\/basis\/\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]'>basis<\/a> rather than quarterly basis.<\/li><li>To help the small businesses in India, the State bank of India has launched a product to provide working capital loans to the MSMEs, based on their input credit claims. The loan provided will be given outside the sanctioned bank finance, which will be either 20% of the existing fund based working capital limit or the 80% of the input tax claim due, whichever is found to be lower.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Demonetization and GST<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>MSMEs\nloans were de-growing as a result of demonetization and later on due to the implementation\nof GST. However, now the condition is stabilizing.&nbsp; In 2017-2018 revenue of MSMEs surged by 27%\nand the operating profit increased by 66 %.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SIDBIs\nMSME pulse report claimed that an estimated 5 lakh new borrowers are likely to\nenter the formal borrowing channels in 2018. However, there is a need to revive\nfresh lending by public sector banks to MSMEs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once\nevery business is registered under the GST platform, the economy will\ndefinitely benefit from better compliance and transparency. With ease to\nbusiness, the market will attract domestic investments which will impact MSMEs\nin India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With\nthe government&rsquo;s commitment to strengthen MSMEs, we are expecting the current\nchallenges to stabilize the situation and help the &lsquo;make in India&rsquo; and &lsquo;Skill\nIndia&rsquo; schemes prosper. The government has come up with ways to boost the\neconomy, firstly it implemented a scheme to grant loans in 1 hour, and then it\ncame up with the restructuring scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\nis very important to strengthen the credit structure to help MSMEs. The MSME\nsector has to be provided with better facilities as it is facing competition from\nChinese imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Money\ncan be raised from the debt market to service MSMEs that don&rsquo;t have access to the\ndebt market directly. Better access to formal credit revives MSMEs and helps\nthe economy grow. The government has to achieve this goal together with RBI.\nBanks have to ensure more prudence that will help prevent a series of bad loans\nin the future. To improve finance for MSME we need to have robust debt market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For\nmore information on <a href=\"https:\/\/enterslice.com\/msme-registration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MSMEs<\/a>,\nyou\ncan contact our team of experts at <a href=\"https:\/\/enterslice.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Enterslice<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India&rsquo;s Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are a large and growing market, employing about 60 million people in approximately 26 million enterprises.
