Appraisal

• In case of infrastructure projects undertaken by Govt. owned

entities banks/FIs should undertake due diligence on viability of the

projects.

– State Govt guarantees may not be taken as a substitute for satisfactory

credit appraisal.

• Since specialised appraisal skills are required banks/FIs may

consider constituting appropriate screening committees/special

cells for appraisal of projects and monitoring the

progress/performance of the projects.

Liquidity Support from IDFC

• IDFC would commit at the point of sanction, to refinance the

entire outstanding loan (principal + unrecovered interest) or

part of the loan, to the bank after an agreed period.

• Credit Risk would be taken by the bank

• Interest rate on the refinanced amount would depend on

IDFC’s risk perception of the bank
