03 December 2010 We have availed OD limit of Rs.25.00 Lakhs (Collateral Free) from Karnataka Bank Ltd., Tirupur and the same has been covered under CGTMSE scheme.

In addition to OD we need PACKING CREDIT AND FDBP Limit to execute Export orders. we have approached our bank, they told us that they will cover ECGC for Export credit facilities and they could not sanction Packing Credit & FDBP limit under CGTMSE scheme.

Is it mandatory for bank to cover ECGC for Packing credit. Any RBI Guidelines /circulars?

Pls clarify can we get loan under CGTMSE coverage for Export credit facilities

thanks & regards

Banks may, in the interest of export promotion, consider opting for the Whole Turnover Post-shipment Policy. The salient features of the scheme may be obtained from ECGC.
