23 Apr 2019 Evaluate

PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) Delegation has discussed concerns of the Chamber related to the growth of the economy, exports, liquidity , Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), NBFCs, Affordable Housing and Real Estate sector with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor. A delegation led by Rajeev Talwar, President of PHDCCI along with D K Aggarwal, Senior Vice President of PHD Chamber and Sanjay Aggarwal, Vice President of PHD Chamber met Governor of RBI, Shaktikanta Das.

Delegation gave various suggestions to the RBI such as increase the limit for classifying over dues of MSMEs to 180 days from the current level of 90 days as working capital cycle of MSMEs keeps prolonging due to delays in realisation of their bills/receivables and the loans given by banks to NBFCs for the purpose of on-lending to MSMEs should be treated as indirect finance to MSMEs eligible for classification under the Priority Sector lending of banks.

It has also urged that at-least one year period should be considered for eligibility of MSMEs’ stressed and NPA accounts for eligibility under the restructuring scheme. All such Accounts which turned into defaulters or became NPAs after January 01, 2018 should be covered under the policy of RBI for being eligible for restructuring. It also suggested further cut in the repo rate in the coming quarters.

Besides, Delegation said that infrastructure financing should ideally be carried out by specialist players like Infrastructure Finance Companies (IFCs). IFCs should be allowed to deploy a minimum of 50% of their total assets in infrastructure loans, while the rest may be deployed towards financing allied and ancillary activities for infrastructure projects, which are essentially non-infra in nature.
