AEPC Appreciates FM’s Move

4 We welcome the decision of the Government to increase the outstanding loan limit from Rs 25 crore to Rs 50 crore and for raising the turnover criteria from Rs 100 crore to Rs 250 crore for availing ECLGS,” Dr A Sakthivel, Chairman, AEPC said.

He said it should be further raised to Rs 100 crore for extending financial succor to wider industry impacted by the pandemic.

The Government revised the eligibility criteria for availing ECLGS including extending it to individual loans that were taken for business purposes.

The ECLGS was approved by the Union Cabinet on 20 May 2020 with a provision of fully guaranteed additional funding of up to Rs 3 lakh crore to eligible borrowers.

“While more than half of the targeted additional funding is yet to be sanctioned, there are many medium scale industrialists who are bereft of the special financial assistance.

The Chairman said that while the turnover of exporters may seem large due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the thin margin on which the Apparel Exporters work and the perishable nature of their products make them vulnerable to any changes in export orders and delay in shipment, which is clearly evident during the ongoing crisis.
