What is the purpose of this loan?

The KBL MSME Scheme is designed to support a variety of business needs. It's ideal for managing working capital, acquiring machinery or vehicles, making repairs or renovations, and even for purchasing property for business use like shops, factories, or offices. This flexibility makes it suitable for businesses at different stages, whether you are looking to grow, diversify, or just maintain your enterprise.

Under this scheme, you can borrow up to ₹1500 lakh. However, if your loan is eligible under the Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE), you can get up to ₹200 lakh without collateral. This feature is particularly beneficial for smaller businesses that may not have sufficient collateral.

The scheme offers competitive interest rates linked to EBLR. These rates are designed to be affordable for MSMEs and are influenced by various factors including market conditions and the bank’s internal policies. It's important to note that the actual rate applicable to you might vary based on your business’s financial health and creditworthiness.

The tenure options are quite flexible. For working capital overdrafts, the tenure can be up to 18 months. For term loans, the tenure can extend up to 120 months, providing ample time for repayment and easing the pressure on your cash flow.

The Overdraft facility allows you to withdraw funds up to a certain limit over and above your account balance. This is particularly useful for managing short-term liquidity or unexpected expenses. It offers the flexibility of repaying the amount used at your convenience within the agreed tenure, which can be up to 18 months in this scheme.

Collateral requirements include the hypothecation of stocks, book debts, or assets acquired with the loan. Additionally, a mortgage of business premises or property may be required. The bank mandates that the collateral security should be at least 60% of the loan exposure, ensuring a secure backing for the loan.

This flexibility allows you to manage your cash flow more effectively and choose a repayment schedule that suits your business's financial cycle.

In the context of Karnataka Bank's loans, EBLR or External Benchmark Lending Rate is a crucial reference rate. It's essentially the standard against which the interest rates of loans are gauged and adjusted. This rate is determined by external market factors and serves as a transparent and dynamic benchmark. By tying loan interest rates to the EBLR, we ensure that loan pricing is fair, responsive to market conditions, and in line with regulatory guidelines, providing a clear and consistent basis for borrowers to understand how their loan interest rates are set.

There is no processing fee for loans up to ₹5 lakhs. A processing fees of up to 0.50% would be applicable on loans above ₹5 lakhs.
