Please refer to NCGTC letter Ref No. 2842/NCGTC/ECLGS dated May 23, 2020 introducing the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme [ECLGS] for providing 100% guarantee coverage for additional working capital terms loans (in case of Banks and Fls) and additional term loans ( in case of NBFCs) and also the various subsequent communications / updates issued by NCGTC in this regard. A reference is also invited to Clause No. 6 on page 3 of the Operational Guidelines of the scheme [last updated on September 14, 2020], in terms of which, the said scheme is scheduled to terminate on October 31, 2020 or till the utilization of Rs 3 lakhs crores whichever is earlier.

In this connection, we advise that it has since been decided to extend the duration of the scheme till November 30, 2020 or till a total amount of Rs.3 lakh crore is sanctioned under the scheme, whichever is earflier. Accordingly, clause no. 6 on page 3 of the Operational Guidelines of the scheme (also relevant FAQ) stands modified as under :

Save and except the above, all the other guidelines / instructions issued under the scheme and as existing as on the date of issue of this letter shall remain the same and shall apply mutatis mutandis to the above modifications.
