## Eligibility

### Will not fund

- "Considering the weak debt servicing capability, adverse repayment track record, stretched working capital cycle, and inherent business risks, Let us not take exposure here"
- Funding Lithina Energy is fundamentally not aligned with credit norms - a newly incorporated entity with operations commencing only this year, lacking established track record, audited financials, cash flow history, or repayment history
- Case cannot be processed as the company operates in the Agri sector, which is a negative profile per policy
- Won't take 3rd party collateral, open land, or hospitals/schools as security for LAP; only NA land accepted
- Unsanctioned Exim countries: Pakistan, Bangladesh, China (for export), Oman, Africa
- Won't fund perishable, agro, fragile products, gems & jewelry, or service profiles under Exim/SID negative list
- This is a recently rejected case (Credlix, re: )
- Unable to move forward with the case due to related-party purchase routing, stretched cash conversion cycle/creditor days (≈300 days), nil working capital gap, and fixed asset mismatch between related entities
- Credlix declined: ≈80% of purchases sourced directly from farmers (agri sector) is outside policy norms, client has no actual requirement for export finance, and DSCR is below 1.0x, failing Term Loan (TL) policy criteria
- Petrochemicals is a negative sector
- Will not proceed with the proposal as the company operates in the EPC industry, which is not being considered due to internal risk management guidelines.
- Credlix declined: revenue stagnant over 4 years (₹40.8Cr FY23 vs ₹41.9Cr FY26 projected), inventory very high at ₹17.8Cr (293 inventory days, 268-day cash conversion cycle), Debt/EBITDA elevated at 3.96x, and debt rose from ₹8.3Cr to ₹21.0Cr while turnover stayed stagnant — does not meet credit underwriting parameters
- Can't move forward with the proposal due to unresolved concerns: cyclical/related-party transactions, questionable business substance, covenant breaches, and weak profitability
- Passed from all lenders
- Credlix declined case under purchase invoice discounting: e-invoice unavailable (client purchases from farmers/mandis, agri items)
- Agri sector is flagged by lender as a negative/restricted sector
- Credlix declined: revenue stagnant over 4 years (₹40.8Cr FY23 vs ₹41.9Cr FY26 projected), inventory very high at ₹17.8Cr (293 inventory days, 268-day cash conversion cycle), Debt/EBITDA elevated at 3.96x, and debt rose from ₹8.3Cr to ₹21.0Cr while turnover stayed stagnant
- Lender ('not doable') declined the case; detailed reasons to follow
- Not okay with gul
- Case rejected: negative profile under EPC (not eligible for purchase invoice discounting); CIBIL CMR 8 found ineligible under SID due to transaction mismatches and lack of timely payment realisation
- Passed due to weak financials

### Prefers

- Major book concentration in manufacturing sector - electronics, steel, pharma
- Sweet spot ticket size is ₹2-3 Cr
- Open to forming deeper programs with more PF sharing; PEC and criteria remain unchanged
- Prefers clean promoter bureau with no watchlist hits or adverse media
- Can do a slightly higher limit if structured as SID with escrow
- …more in playbook
- After review, maximum exposure offered was INR 0.60 Cr
- Borrower is an EPC/highway contractor, a sector seen as inherently exposed to monsoon-season execution and collection delays
- Dealer financing, the size of dealers matter. They should be teir 1, teir 2 dealers.
- Case structured at rate 14-15%, tenor 24 months, with promoter personal guarantee offered as credit enhancement
- Chinese exporters typically work on 100% advance; funding timing needs to be pegged to days-to-dispatch and days-to-B/L receipt after advance payment, plus the inco-term
- Delayed interest / penal charge of 3% per month on overdue tranches
- Agri-sector companies are not standard purchase invoice discounting candidates for the lender, but this case is viable since the spices & packaging vendors are not GST-exempt
- Bank statement review suggests receivables of ₹30-40 Cr, indicating stretched working capital and slower realization cycles
- Both accounts in question were reported with an SMA-0 classification.
- Borrower made a partial payment of INR 7.25 cr against dues of INR 8.25 cr, leaving a shortfall; lender has asked to adjust the borrower's INR 1.00 cr security deposit against the outstanding dues.
- Fixed Deposit collateral is not available in this case
- Security package unclear since existing group borrowings are predominantly secured facilities; clarity needed on charge, collateral, assignment of receivables, and guarantees for proposed facility
- Instrument (e-invoice) must be less than 15 days old (stale invoice cutoff) and tranche tenor is capped at 60 days from discounting, with bullet interest+principal repayment at tenor end
- Need 3-4 qualifying cases per month; typically convert only 1-2
- Tranche tenure of 60 days from discounting, within an overall 12-month facility tenure
- Diligence flag: given Ultravibrant's scale, checking limits availed on TReDS and quantum of off-balance-sheet debt
- Lender checks TReDS limits availed and off-balance-sheet debt as part of diligence to assess true group leverage
- purchase invoice discounting: relationship vintage minimum 6-7 months, with 1-2 suppliers needing 12-month vintage to be manageable
