CMA Data & Detailed Project Reports (DPR)

Evaluating physical site conditions, plant location, access to utility infrastructure, technological choice, and production capacity curves based on verified supplier quotes.

Formulating multi-year financial statements covering the entire repayment tenure (typically 7 to 10 years) using discounted cash flow metrics.

• •Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR): Benchmark average DSCR target of ≥ 1.50x to 1.75x
• •Internal Rate of Return (IRR): Must comfortably exceed the project Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
• •Net Present Value (NPV): Establishing positive discounted net cash flows over project lifecycle
• •Break-Even Point (BEP): Operational capacity utilization percentage required to avert operational loss

Collateral and regulatory documentation required to support credit committee appraisal and final facility sanction.

• •Clear, marketable 30-year land title search report from bank-empanelled legal counsel
• •Approved municipal or industrial authority building layout plans and factory licenses
• •Government industrial incentive / subsidy eligibility mapping (PMEGP, MSME, State Capex subsidies)
• •First hypothecation charge on project fixed assets and primary mortgage security

Capturing sanctioned vs. proposed fund-based and non-fund-based limits alongside multi-year comparative profit and loss performance.

• •Form 1: Existing vs. requested credit limits across multiple/consortium lenders
• •Form 2: Multi-year breakdown of gross sales, net turnover, excise/GST, raw materials, and EBITDA
• •Historical financial data for past 2 to 3 audited financial years
• •Current year provisional estimates and 1 to 3 projected operational financial years

Comparative balance sheet classification and detailed assessment of working capital components under RBI lending definitions.

• •Form 3: Liabilities and assets classified strictly under RBI prudential norms
• •Form 4: Inventory holding levels (Raw Materials, WIP, Finished Goods, and Spares in months)
• •Trade debtors collection velocity and realization aging (under vs. over 90 days)
• •Trade creditors credit terms and other current operational liabilities

Mathematical computation of the borrower's eligible bank finance in conformity with RBI committee recommendations.

• •Tandon Committee Method II: 25% of Current Assets funded by borrower's long-term Net Working Capital (NWC)
• •Nayak Committee Turnover Method: Minimum 20% bank finance on projected gross turnover (for MSMEs)
• •Identification of Working Capital Gap (WCG) and margin adequacy verification
• •Detection of excessive limit drawing or fund diversion into non-current assets

Dynamic cash flow movement verification and prudential ratio diagnostics inspected by bank credit underwriters.

• •Form 6: Analysis of long-term vs. short-term sources and applications of financial funds
• •Current Ratio: Benchmark banking requirement of minimum 1.33:1 current assets to current liabilities
• •Total Outside Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth (TOL/TNW) solvency leverage ratio
• •Interest Coverage Ratio (ICR): Operational capacity to comfortably service monthly bank interest

A DPR is engineered specifically for Term Loans funding immovable or movable capital assets, whereas CMA Data governs revolving working capital facilities.

• •DPR Scope: Term Loans for land, factory buildings, heavy machinery, and plant expansion
• •CMA Scope: Cash Credit (CC), Overdraft (OD), Export Credit, Letters of Credit, and Bank Guarantees
• •DPR Appraisal: Project technical execution, long-term market viability, and capex justification
• •CMA Appraisal: Day-to-day liquidity, inventory turnover speed, and receivables realization

A DPR covers the complete multi-year debt amortisation period, whereas CMA Data concentrates on immediate liquidity cycles.

• •DPR Period: 5 to 10+ years aligned with the term loan repayment moratorium and amortisation schedule
• •CMA Period: Past 2–3 audited years, 1 current estimate year, and 2–3 operational projection years
• •DPR Sensitivity: Project ramp-up curves, market demand cycles, and technological longevity
• •CMA Sensitivity: Seasonal working capital bulges, monthly debtor aging, and quarterly sales spikes

Lenders evaluate completely different ratios and covenants across the two reports during credit committee scrutiny.

• •DPR Key Metrics: DSCR (min 1.5x), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Net Present Value (NPV), and Payback Period
• •CMA Key Metrics: Current Ratio (min 1.33x), MPBF (Tandon/Nayak norms), TOL/TNW, and Inventory Holding Days
• •DPR Risk Factor: Construction delays, capital cost overruns, and deferred Commercial Operations Date (COD)
• •CMA Risk Factor: Stock valuation discrepancy, liquidity shortfall, and sticky trade debtors

A DPR is an event-driven capital outlay document; CMA Data is an ongoing annual regulatory requirement.

• •DPR Frequency: Submitted once during initial term loan sanction or major capex expansion
• •CMA Frequency: Mandatory annual submission for renewal or enhancement of revolving CC/OD limits
• •DPR Tenure: Concludes once the term loan principal and interest are completely amortised
• •CMA Tenure: Continuous throughout the operational lifetime of the commercial enterprise

A newly constructed factory cannot operate with a Term Loan alone; it requires operational liquidity from Day One.

• •The Term Loan finances the factory building, electrical substations, and production machinery
• •Working capital (CC/OD) is essential to purchase raw materials, pay wages, and finance finished goods
• •Without CMA data sanction, the plant risks remaining idle post-construction due to working capital starvation
• •Simultaneous appraisal ensures funds are disbursed seamlessly upon commissioning

Harmonizing debt servicing schedules with operational cash inflows once commercial manufacturing commences.

• •The DPR models the construction moratorium period during which interest is capitalized or funded
• •CMA Data activates immediately upon achieving COD to fund active operational cycles
• •Operating cash flows generated from working capital cycle service the Term Loan quarterly installments
• •Single-window CA compilation ensures perfect reconciliation between DPR and CMA financial models
