MPFC grants assistance to "Industrial Concerns" as defined
in clause (c) of section 2 of "State Financial Corporations
Act. 1951", which are located in the state of Madhya
Pradesh.
However fee based services can be extended to units
located in any part of the country.
In the definition, almost
every type of manufacturing and/or process activity and
related operations are covered. In addition to it, MPFC also
provides assistance to activities in the service sector, as
approved by the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI).
As per the provisions of the "State Financial Corporation
Act. 1951", MPFC can grant assistance to only those concerns
whose paid-up capital and fee reserves taken together do not
exceed Rs. 20.00 crores. This limit is not applicable to non-
fund based activities.
Subject to the limits prescribed under the various
schemes, MPFC's total exposure to a single concern under all
the schemes taken together shall not exceed Rs. 200.00 lacs in
case of partnership and proprietary concerns, and Rs. 500.00
lacs in case of corporate entities.
MPFC grants loan against security only.
The primary security
for the loan is usually a first charge on land, building,
plant and machinery etc. acquired/proposed to be acquired. In
case of loan under consortium arrangements, pari-passu charge
is accepted along with the other participating institutions.
Generally MPFC takes collateral security of land and/or
building of the borrower or any third party in addition to
primary security.
MPFC also has a floating charge on all the
remaining assets of the borrower, subject to the charge in
favour of the bankers for working capital.
Margin is the difference between the value of assets offered as
prime security and the amount of loan.

The minimum promotor's contribution envisaged in the
project is worked out on the basis of Debt-Equity norm and
the security margin norm applicable at the time of sanction
of the loan. The debt equity ratio is the ratio of loan
component and the equity contribution in the total project
cost. The maximum amount of assistance shall be lower of the
two amounts worked out on the basis of Debt-Equity norm and
the security margin norm. The normal lending norm for debt-
equity is 1.5:1, however in some specific schemes this norm
may be flexible.
The entire promoter's contribution envisaged in the
project is desired to be raised by way of capital before
first disbursement of the loan installment. However in case

quantum is ascertained during the appraisal of loan proposal.
The period of repayment of loan is decided on the merits of
each case, which generally ranges between 5 to 8 years.
The principal amount of loan is payable normally in half yearly
installments with an initial moratorium period of 6 months to
two years depending upon the size of the project & stage of
the implementation.

yearly basis and the months of payment of interest &
principal are kept different to even out the liability of the
borrowers.

insured for their full value during the currency of the loan.

attributable to a specific project which the corporation may

mortgage clause. The first insurance policy and the
