Under the Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE) scheme, a bank sanctions a collateral-free loan to a micro unit. The loan turns bad and the guarantee cover is 75% of the amount in default. If the amount in default eligible for the claim is Rs 20 lakh, what is the maximum guarantee claim payable, ignoring other conditions?

The maximum claim is Rs 15 lakh, being 75% of the Rs 20 lakh default. The remaining 25%, or Rs 5 lakh, is borne by the lending institution. A 100% cover would give Rs 20 lakh, but the facts specify 75%.

  2. BRs 5 lakh
  3. CRs 20 lakh
  4. DRs 12.5 lakh

Explanation

Guarantee claim = 75% x Rs 20 lakh = Rs 15 lakh. Rs 5 lakh is the uncovered 25% the bank bears. Rs 20 lakh assumes 100% cover. Rs 12.5 lakh has no basis in the data.
