Frequently Asked Questions

In the case of refinancing the SME loan, how is the processing charge calculated?

In refinancing your SME loan, the processing fee will be levied on the outstanding loan amount and not on the sanctioned loan amount. The percentage of the fee will be based on the applicable loan type.

Should I pay a prepayment penalty if I decide to pay off the debt well before the loan tenure?

Please understand that a prepayment facility is not available for working capital loans. When it comes to term loans, a prepayment penalty will be levied at a flat 2% of the term loan prepaid as on the date of prepayment. This is applicable only for loans with a repayment tenure of 36 months and above.

Should I pay loan insurance premiums in the case of term loans?

You have to pay premiums towards the additional credit risk for term loans with a tenure of over one year. This premium will be payable over and above the interest rate applicable to the term loan. The premium calculation for the term loans is given in the table below.

Total Tenure (including moratorium period)	Premium
1 – 3 years	0.10%
3 – 5 years	0.25%
5 – 10 years	0.50%
> 10 years	1%

Is there a limit on the date of the invoice that is eligible to avail financing under the Union e-way bills solution scheme?

Yes. The financing will be provided only on invoices that are not older than three months. Book debts covered under this scheme will not be covered under any other credit facility. This is to avoid double financing.
