The rice mill units are categorized as small (manufacturing) sector units and as per RBI guidelines these units are eligible for getting working facility on the basis of Nayak Committee recommendations. However, the Rice Mills being seasonal industry, Bank have/had adopted any one of the following methods for sanctioning a rational and required working credit limit to them, which will continue to be applied.
** As per Nayak Committee recommendations – MPBF- 20% on the basis of projected sale turnover.
** IInd method of lending as per Tandon Committee norms.
** Under traditional method of lending adopted in our bank for assessment of working capital requirements of rice mill which is a seasonal industry, the maximum inventory and receivables holdings have been proposed to be continued as per last year’s Rice Mill policy, which are as under:

The level of creditors shall be taken on an average for last financial year subject to maximum 15 days since during peak period it remains very low and working capital is assessed on the basis of peak period requirements. The level of creditors during current year will also depend upon the availability of paddy i.e. its shortage may reduce the level of creditors to a NIL level also.

Interest rate :

Keeping in view that this is a seasonal industry and it carries the effects of government policy for the industries, as such the financial ratios during peak season/ at the year-end may differ from average ratios, thus the prescribed negative scoring applicable to usual commercial and industrial accounts may be exempted.

Note –Scheme is for selected branches only

Financing to Seed Processing Units :
The salient features of the scheme are as under :
Working Capital Assessment :
** The enhancement in the limits of the parties will be considered on merits, who have performed well in the current season and has broadly fulfilled other guidelines of the scheme.

** However the MBPF shall be assessed on the basis of peak level requirements.
** In case of the parties engaged in the activities of rice milling & seed processing (both) the assessments for rice mills and seed units will be made separately and separate limits thereof shall be fixed.

Rate of Interest :
(For working capital and fresh term loan facilities)

The existing as well as the proposed rate of interest for the activity is given below :

** fresh advance proposal not to be considered having credit rating of RC or below.
** As the seed processing is a seasonal activity and it carries the effects of government policy etc., the financial ratios during peak season/ at the year end may differ from average ratios, thus the prescribed negative scoring applicable to usual commercial and industrial accounts is exempted for the seed units.
