Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS) - Summary
To support businesses impacted by the COVID-19 crisis, the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS) offers a unique and effective solution. This scheme provides 100% guarantee coverage for the Guaranteed Emergency Credit Line (GECL), which serves as a pre-approved sanction limit, giving additional working capital term loan facilities to eligible Business Enterprises and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), including those interested in the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY).
Eligibility for ECLGS
Several criteria determine which borrowers can benefit from this scheme. Here are the key eligibility requirements:
- All Business Enterprises, MSMEs, and PMMY borrower accounts with total outstanding loans of up to Rs.25 crores as of 29th February 2020, and an annual turnover reaching up to Rs.100 crores for FY 2019-20, are eligible.
- The total outstanding amount includes on-balance sheet exposure, which covers outstanding amounts from working capital loans, term loans, and WCTL. However, off-balance sheet and non-fund based exposures are not included.
- Loans granted to Business Enterprises and MSMEs structured as Proprietorships, Partnerships, Registered Companies, Trusts, and Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) are acceptable under the scheme. For instance, any existing commercial vehicle (CV) loan taken by a business will qualify, but CV loans taken personally by promoters or directors will not.
- Loans granted in an individual’s name are not eligible for assistance under the scheme.

- Business Enterprises and MSMEs must be GST registered where such registration is required; this condition does not apply to those who are not required to obtain GST registration.
