The nationwide lock down was imposed in India on the 22nd of March, 2020. The effects of this complete lock down will be felt in the Indian Economy some months even after the relaxation. The COVID 19 Pandemic and the lock down that followed have paralysed businesses and resulted in large-scale unemployment. Unemployment spiked to 23% in April, says the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy. This will, in turn, affect the repayment ability of the borrowers and the demand for fresh loans.
Banks will face one of the toughest years in terms of loan growth. Retail loans may take a longer time to bounce back due to the uncertainties around employment and pressure on wages. Many companies have announced pay cuts while some have announced layoffs to bring down costs. Indian banks introduced 5 emergency loans during this global pandemic.
The loans are for their corporate clients, MSMEs, SHGs, Retail borrowers & Pensioners.
IND- COVID Emergency Credit Line for Corporates (IBCECL)
Under IBECL, additional funding will be provided of up to 10% of the working capital limits. This loan is applicable to large corporations and medium enterprises. IBCECL will be applicable for a tenure of around 36 months with an initial moratorium of up to 6 months and an additional fixed interest rate of 1-year MCLR. Subsequently, all other charges will be waived off.
IND- MSE COVID Emergency Loan for MSME (INDMSE-CEL)
The MSME sector is one of the most affected due to this global pandemic. Under this type of emergency loan, additional funding of 10% of FBWC limits with a maximum of Rs 50 lakhs will be made available for all MSMEs for a tenure of 60 months. This loan will make sure that MSMEs loans are not derived from liquidity during these challenging and uncertain times.
