The scheme aims to provide credit guarantee coverage of 100% for MSMEs and 90% for non-MSMEs as well as airline sector, to Member Lending Institutions (MLIs) by National Credit Guarantee Trustee Company Limited (NCGTC) for the amount in default under the additional credit facility extended to the eligible borrowers to tide over any short-term liquidity mismatches in view of West Asia Crisis.

 The scheme targets total additional credit flow of Rs 2,55,000 crore (including Rs 5,000 crore for airlines) for extending additional credit support to eligible business borrowers.
