Check whether the business can repay without refinancing

Check whether the business can repay without refinancing. Check the cause, evidence to keep, recovery steps, and escalation.

Start here

Project cash flow should generate enough surplus to service the proposed loan under conservative sales. If repayment depends on taking another loan every year, the capital structure is weak even when the initial scheme loan is approved.

What applies to this exact problem

Project cash flow should generate enough surplus to service the proposed loan under conservative sales. If repayment depends on taking another loan every year, the capital structure is weak even when the initial scheme loan is approved.

Model a 30% sales shortfall and a three-month delay in receivable collection. Show how payroll, supplier payments and EMI would be handled. This stress test can reveal whether the project needs more genuine equity or a smaller starting scale.

After sanction, track actual sales and cash flow against the project report every quarter. Early underperformance is easier to correct than a crisis after instalments begin. Scheme-supported credit is most valuable when it funds a business that can become independently sustainable.

Check these first

  • State the exact expected result and the exact result you have now.
  • Find the official record that owns the result and compare it with your evidence.
  • Change one thing at a time, then verify the final state before moving on.

Fix it in this order

  1. State the exact expected result and the exact result you have now.
  2. Find the official record that owns the result and compare it with your evidence.
  3. Reconcile business identity first: PAN, GST, Udyam, bank statements, legal name, and addresses should agree.
  4. Match the loan type to the cash-flow need: working capital, machinery, receivables, or term funding.
  5. Build one lender pack with financials, GST returns, bank statements, quotations/invoices, ownership, and repayment logic.
  6. Ask the lender to state the exact rejection, margin, guarantee, or documentation issue in writing.
  7. Fix the underlying mismatch before reapplying so a new enquiry does not repeat the same failure.

Build the proof pack

  • Udyam/GST/PAN and entity documents
  • Bank statements and financials
  • Quotation/invoice or working-capital evidence
  • Sanction/rejection/grievance references

Avoid making the case harder

  • Paying an agent who guarantees sanction
  • Using inconsistent turnover or business-name data
  • Treating in-principle approval as final disbursement

How you know it is really fixed

  • The official record and your real-world result agree.
  • You have enough written evidence to prove the issue is finished if it returns later.

If it is still not fixed

  1. Lender MSME/grievance desk
  2. Official scheme/helpdesk where a scheme is involved
  3. RBI CMS for eligible unresolved lender-service complaints
