Rehabilitation
package for the revival of viable sick MSEs is provided by primary lending
institutions (PLIs), including commercial banks, which provide credit to the
MSEs. The rehabilitation package is determined as per the guidelines issued by
RBI from time to time. The latest guidelines were issued by RBI in
November, 2012, based on the recommendations of the Committee set up by
Ministry of MSME to examine the definition of sickness and the procedure for
assessing the viability of sick MSEs. The guidelines, inter alia, provide for:
(i) Early
detection of sickness;
(ii) A
viability study to form the basis of rehabilitation package to potentially
viable sick MSEs; and
(iii) A
non-discretionary one time settlement scheme for the MSE
sector.
This information was given by the Union Minister for Micro,
Small and Medium Enterprises, Shri Kalraj Mishra in a written reply to a
question in Lok Sabha here today.
