10 May 2019 Evaluate

In its suggestion list, the engineering exporters' apex body, Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC) of India has said that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) should facilitate easy and cheaper bank loans mainly for the MSME exporters, amid anxious global economic environment. It further noted that with US-China trade tensions leaving the global financial markets and trade in a state of anxiety, it is time for Indian exporters to stay competitive.

The apex body suggested to the RBI that the Interest Equalisation Scheme for the exporters become horizontal in nature by covering the entire MSME sector, so that the linkage with exports goes away and does not fall foul of the WTO’s norms as well.

Besides, EEPC recommended that the banks should not ask for external credit rating as they are doing internal rating and banks be advised not to charge loan application processing and credit limit renewal fee. The engineering exporters' apex body also said that RBI should ask banks not to insist for discounting of usance export bills.
