MSMEs are using funds from the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme more to pay off earlier loans than as growth capital

The Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS) was one of the highlights of the economic package announced by the government in May, and it became operational on May 23. The scheme is basically a loan guarantee for all MSMEs which were operational as on February 29 with an outstanding of 25 crore (now 50 crore), where 20 per cent incremental credit up to 5 crore (now 10 crore) would be covered. These could be taken from banks, NBFCs and FIs. There have been regular updates provided on the progress of these loans. As of November 2, 2.03 lakh crore was sanctioned, of which, 1.48 lakh crore has been disbursed to 66.67 lakh units. This is impressive.

Some interesting observations can be made on this scheme and its progress. The first is that the scheme was to be on 20 per cent of outstanding loans, which as of end-February were around 12 lakh crore for banks. Hence banks can theoretically sanction around 2.4 lakh crore to this segment. NBFCs as of September 2019 had around 80,000 crore as outstanding to MSMEs in industry. Therefore, the sum of 3 lakh crore was quite generous. Given that the outstanding to sanction limits are around 75 per cent, a maximum of 2.25 lakh crore could be disbursed during this period which has been extended to end-November from end-October.
