Government launched the Credit Guarantee Fund Scheme for Small Industries on 30th August, 2000 with a view to alleviating the problem of collateral security and impediment to flow of credit to Micro and Small Scale Industries (SSI) sector.
Under the CGTMSE Scheme the trust extends guarantee upto Rs.100.00 lacs per borrower for credit facilities sanctioned without collateral or third party guarantee. The loans sanctioned under Govt. Sponsored schemes are also covered under the scheme.
The Credit Guarantee scheme (CGS) seeks to reassure the lender that, in the event of a MSME unit, which availed collateral free credit facilities, fails to discharge its liabilities to the lender, the Guarantee Trust would make good the loss incurred by the lender up to 75 / 80/ 85 per cent of the credit facility.
