FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions About CGTMSE Loans

Clear answers regarding limits, collateral rules, guarantee fees, and approval timelines.

No. Under the Credit Guarantee Scheme for Micro and Small Enterprises, Member Lending Institutions (MLIs) are legally prohibited from demanding third-party personal guarantees or immovable property mortgages. The credit is backed solely by primary security (hypothecation of financed assets) and the sovereign trust guarantee.

The maximum credit facility limit eligible for CGTMSE coverage has been enhanced to ₹5.00 Crore per borrower. This can be availed as a composite loan combining Term Loans and Working Capital facilities (Cash Credit/Overdraft).

Annual Guarantee Fee starts at 0.37% per annum for micro units up to ₹5 Lakhs, and ranges from 0.55% to 1.35% per annum for higher ticket sizes. Women-led units, ZED-certified enterprises, and aspirational district units receive special fee concessions and rebates.

Banks often hesitate when applications lack formal Credit Monitoring Arrangement (CMA) models or DSCR proof. REXERA builds bank-ready institutional CMA dossiers, matches your proposal with active PSL target branches, and represents your case before credit committees to secure seamless sanction.
