Start here

For “What not to do”, do not inflate turnover on a new application to match bank credits.

What applies to this exact problem

  • Do not inflate turnover on a new application to match bank credits.
  • Do not create fake invoices or back-date documents.
  • Do not assume every bank credit is revenue.
  • Do not make repeated applications while the same inconsistency remains unresolved.

Escalation is for process failure, not underwriting disagreement: if the lender made a service error or ignored a formal complaint, use its grievance process. A lender is not generally required to approve a loan merely because you explain the mismatch.

Check these first

  • Do not inflate turnover on a new application to match bank credits.
  • Do not create fake invoices or back-date documents.
  • Do not assume every bank credit is revenue.

Fix it in this order

  1. Do not inflate turnover on a new application to match bank credits.
  2. Do not create fake invoices or back-date documents.
  3. Do not assume every bank credit is revenue.
  4. Do not make repeated applications while the same inconsistency remains unresolved.

Evidence to keep

  • Udyam/GST/PAN and entity documents — keep it with the evidence for “What not to do”.
  • Bank statements and financials — keep it with the evidence for “What not to do”.
  • Quotation/invoice or working-capital evidence — keep it with the evidence for “What not to do”.
  • Sanction/rejection/grievance references — keep it with the evidence for “What not to do”.

Do not make it harder

  • Paying an agent who guarantees sanction For “What not to do”, that can hide whether the underlying issue is actually resolved.
  • Using inconsistent turnover or business-name data For “What not to do”, that can hide whether the underlying issue is actually resolved.
  • Treating in-principle approval as final disbursement For “What not to do”, that can hide whether the underlying issue is actually resolved.

How you know it is fixed

  • The official record and your real-world result agree for “What not to do”.
  • You have enough written evidence to prove the issue is finished if it returns later for “What not to do”.

If this still isn't resolved

  1. Lender MSME/grievance desk State the unresolved issue explicitly: “What not to do”.
  2. Official scheme/helpdesk where a scheme is involved State the unresolved issue explicitly: “What not to do”.
  3. RBI CMS for eligible unresolved lender-service complaints State the unresolved issue explicitly: “What not to do”.
