Project reports & CMA data that hold up to bank appraisal
Projections built from your real numbers, CMA in the bank’s format and ratios stress-tested before the credit officer asks. For term loans, working capital and scheme-backed finance.
Repayment capacity: the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR). Lenders usually look for comfortable cover, commonly around 1.25 or more on projected figures.
Working capital need: receivable, inventory and payable days, and the margin you bring in.
Promoter contribution and security, or credit guarantee cover.
Consistency: projections that agree with past financials, GST returns and bank statements.

Project report: business background, project cost and means of finance, market, operations, and projected profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow.
CMA data: the bank’s standard format for operating statement, balance sheet analysis, current assets and liabilities, and fund flow.
Ratios: DSCR, current ratio, TOL/TNW, break-even and sensitivity to lower sales or higher costs.

It varies by lender and sector, but projected DSCR of around 1.25 or more is commonly expected for term loans, with an average over the loan period and no year too weak.
What is the CGTMSE limit now?
CGTMSE guarantees cover eligible loans to micro and small enterprises up to ₹10 crore, subject to the scheme's conditions and fees.
