Preface
As a part of my course curriculum of MBA in summer Internship program, we are
assigned some practical studies as well as the theoretical knowledge in the related
areas for completing the project. I am preparing comprehensive report on
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SME FINANCING SERVICES PROVIDED
BY NATIONALISED AND PRIVATE SECTOR BANK.
The basic idea of assignment of this project is to augment the knowledge of

students about the SME finance and its various sources. It is concerned with
finding the appropriate source of finance that can be used as per the requirement of
the SME belonging to a particular sector. This will not only help students, but to a
large extent it will help the company it taking the decision to as to which source of
finance should be used for a particular SME. This makes the students enhance their
analytical capability.
So far as decision of the industry or this sector is concerned, I have chosen the
financial consulting firm. This project will also give me firm understanding about
the various aspect of SME finance and the various means of raising the finance. I
have gained lots of knowledge from this project. And I believe that this will help
me in the near future.

1. Introduction
1.1. Purpose & Scope

The Purpose of carrying out this project is to identify the best source of SME
financing schemes provided by Nationalized and Private Banks in different sectors.
Every Financial consultancy firm like us (Opulence) wants that its client gets the
best deal so this survey will be an important tool for financing needs of every SME
client. More specifically I will concentrate mainly on SME financing schemes
provided by State Bank of India (SBI) and ICICI bank. As we know that SME
form the backbone of any economy and SME are vital for growth of developing
countries like India so financing of SME is considered to be very important issue
for any economy. Because of this reason most of the banks, may it be nationalized
banks likes SBI or Private sector banks like ICICI, all are bringing different
schemes for SME finance, but out of these various schemes which scheme is more
profitable and suitable for a SME is the main question of concern for every SME.
1.2. Methodology & Sources

Following are the series of steps which will be followed during execution of the
project.
 In the early phase of the project I will try to know about the various schemes of
SME financing which are introduced by various banks.
 After having the knowledge about various schemes prevailing in the market by
various banks, I will focus more on schemes provided by SBI and ICICI for
SMEs.
 I will then collect details about these schemes provided by each bank one by
one by visiting the corresponding banks and having interaction with the
representative of that bank. I will collect details like amount of loan available,
Interest rate, Disbursement period, Repayment period, Eligibility criteria,
Security required etc.
 Now after collecting information regarding different schemes of SME finance

by various banks, I will focus on sectors one by one. Like I will take one sector
for e.g. medical , then I will compare schemes for SME provided by various
banks and conclude that if a SME belonging to a medical sector wants finance
then financing scheme of which bank is better for it. Similarly I will cover
different sectors like Tourism, Transport, Medical, Agriculture etc. The
comparison will be on the basis of the following factors:
 Rate of Interest
 Disbursement Period
 Repayment Period
 Eligibility criteria
 Security/collateral etc.
 Basically my aim will be to compare SME financing schemes provided by SBI

and ICICI more specifically, but for some sector it happens that in a particular
sector SBI provides financing but ICICI has introduced any scheme in such
case I will try to compare it with some other bank’s SME service.
 For collection of data I will go to the banks and ask them mu queries to their
representative out there. I will explore the website of the banks to collect the
data.
1.3. Limitation
Some of the limitations of the project can be:
 Generally the data on the websites of the banks are not fully disclosed i.e. other
than the charges mentioned on the website there are many hidden charges
which increases the cost like service charge etc.
 In case of interaction with the representative of a particular bank it happens

many a time that the representative cannot disclose all the data because of
certain reasons like banks privacy policy etc. thus getting clear picture about the
service provided is not possible.
I will try to overcome the above mentioned limitations as far as possible.

2. A Brief profile of SMEs in India
2.1 Importance of SMEs
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of all economies
and are a key source of economic growth, dynamism and flexibility in advanced
industrialized countries, as well as in emerging and developing economies. SMEs
constitute the dominant form of business organization, accounting for over 95%
and up to 99% of enterprises depending on the country. They are responsible for
between 60-70% net job creations in Developing countries. Small businesses are
particularly important for bringing innovative products or techniques to the market.
Microsoft may be a software giant today, but it started off in typical SME fashion,
as a dream developed by a young student with the help of family and friends. Only
when Bill Gates and his colleagues had a saleable product were they able to take it
to the marketplace and look for investment from more traditional sources
SMEs are vital for economic growth and development in both industrialized and
developing countries, by playing a key role in creating new jobs. Financing is
necessary to help them set up and expand their operations, develop new products,
and invest in new staff or production facilities. Many small businesses start out as
an idea from one or two people, who invest their own money and probably turn to
family and friends for financial help in return for a share in the business. But if
they are successful, there comes a time for all developing SMEs when they need
new investment to expand or innovate further. That is where they often run into
problems, because they find it much harder than larger businesses to obtain
financing from banks, capital markets or other suppliers of credit.

2.2 Definition of SME
Units in Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Sector will include all units in
tiny and Small Scale industrial (SSI) sector and also those industrial units whose
investment in plant and machinery is up to INR 100 million. Accordingly, only
those units in the SME sector as per definition of RBI (defined in RPCD Circular
No. RPCD.PLFNS.BC. 31/ 06.02.31/ 2005-06 dated August 19, 2005)
2.3 What Constitutes the SME Sector
It is rather difficult to define precisely as to what constitutes the SME sector, as

a. It covers a wide spectrum of activities ranging from manufacturing to trade
to services.
b. It involves different types of organizations with varying constitutions like
proprietary concerns, partnership firms, private limited companies, public limited
companies.
c. Regulations/ Govt. Policy guidelines varies from activity to activity.
d. It overlaps with the presently defined Priority Sector.

In the given scenario, it can be broadly said that the SME segment would
include the following
Traders (Wholesale & Retail) Manufacturers Services

Small Owners
Examples
Mom & Pop Stores
Small Producers
Cash 'n' Carry
Retail Merchants Wholesale Manufacturers Service Providers
Traders
Examples Examples Examples Examples
Convenience Export- Light Industries Agencies

2.6 Various ways of Financing SMEs
Government
Specialized
Investment
Banks for SMEs &
Assistance
Loans and Equity
Leasing Companies
Loans SMEs
Private Financial Lease
Institutions
e.g.
Banks
Finance Companies
Equity
Venture Capitalists

This graph shows the various ways of financing for SMEs in various stages of their
life cycle. The valley of death spreads its shadows to other stages of the life cycle
also. Growing companies, especially ones that invest in capital need not only term
loans but also more working capital.
Most common sources for Finance for MSMEs

Thus it is clear that the most common source of finance for SMEs is Bank
Financing. There are a no. of banks who help in assisting the SMEs for financing.
The main channel used by the SMEs via Banks is Specialized loans by various
Banks.
The Main reason for chosing bank loans by SMEs compared to other sources
of financing like venture capital, PE funding etc is ther is only interest to be paid
no stake is to be diluted thus the whole command oof the SME is with the owner
only.
There are a number of Private as well as Public sector banks who assist SME in
Financing

3.1 Steps for SME loans by State Bank of India (SBI)
1. Application for loan by SME to local branch of a particular area.
2. Inspection/Survey of SME by the Executives of that Local branch.
3. Sending the Documents of survey by Local branch to SMECC branch
4. Preparing credentials of Promoters and firm by SMECC branch and

investigating the same
5. Estimating the amount of loan to be sanctioned and forwarding the

documents for sanctioning.
6. If the loan is been sanctioned by the central authority then

disbursement of the loan amount into account of the SME.

The above figure shows the steps for availing finance through State Bank of
India (SBI) using loans. Here is the brief description of the above shown
procedure:
First of all the SME who wants to avail loan has to visit the local branch office
of their area, where by the loan application is been filled by the SME.
After that the executives of that branch check whether all the necessary
documents are provided by the SME or not, then if all necessary documents are
submitted the next step comes whereby the officials of that local branch go to
the premises of that SME and just have a brief survey of promoter as well as the
premises.
After they are satisfied they send the file of necessary documents to the
SMECC branch, which is a special branch for SME loans. Where by the credit
appraisal takes place, which consist of credit appraisal of promoter, financial
appraisal, determining cost of project, understanding various means of finance
used, profitability estimate, cash flow projections , marketing appraisal etc. ,
which is explained in next section. This step brings out the clear picture
whether the loan should be given to the SME or not?
If the SMECC branch is satisfied with the details then it forward the request of
granting loan to the sanctioning authority.
And finally after the verification by sanctioning authority, the disbursement of

loan amount takes place in the account of that SME
This whole procedure right from application to disbursement of loan amount

takes approximately 20-25 days as the procedure involves analysis of
documents by various branches and thus the movement of documents amongst
them, if all this procedure would have taken place at single place then it would
take only 10-12 days for disbursement.

4. SME Services Provided by ICICI Bank
ICICI is amongst the leading private sectors bank in India. ICICI is the second
largest bank of the country. ICICI bank has introduced various schemes for SMEs.
The various schemes are according to the sector in which a particular SME belongs
as seen in case of SBI. ICICI bank has introduced SME financing for SME
belonging to sectors like:
Automotive
Transport
Tourism
Education
Construction
Apparels
Gems and jewelry
and many more.
Few Facts about ICICI bank:
 The total loans given by the ICICI bank has decreased by 1.4% from 2007 to
2008. The total loans given by the bank was Rs. 2155.17 billion on Dec 31,
2007; it increased to Rs. 2256.16 billion in Mar 2008 and again decreased to
Rs. 2125.21 billion in Dec2008.
 The breakup of the total loan amount given by ICICI bank for the year 2008 is
as follow:
Retail (Personal, home, vehicle etc.) : 54%
Overseas: 26%
Domestic corporate: 12%
Rural: 4%
SME: 4%
 Thus out of the total loans given by the ICICI bank in year 2008 i.e. Rs.2125
billion, the SME loans come out to be 4% of 2125 billion = Rs. 85 billion

4.1 Steps for SME loans by ICICI bank
1. Application for loan by SME to local branch of a particular area.
2. Sending the Documents collected by Local branch to SME branch
3. Preparing credentials of Promoters and firm by SME cell in SME

branch and investigating the same
4. Estimating the amount of loan to be sanctioned and if all credentials

are positive then sanctioning of loan by SME cell.
5. Disbursement of loan in the account of the SME.

The above figure shows the steps for availing finance through ICICI banks
using loans. Here is the brief description of the above shown procedure:
First of all the SME who wants to avail loan has to visit the local branch office
of their area, where by the loan application is been filled by the SME.
The local area branch sends the file of necessary documents to the SME branch,
which is a special branch for SME loans. Where by the credit appraisal takes
place by SME cell which is in SME branch, which consist of credit appraisal of
promoter, financial appraisal, determining cost of project, understanding
various means of finance used, profitability estimate, cash flow projections ,
marketing appraisal etc. This step brings out the clear picture whether the loan
should be given to the SME or not?
If the SME cell is satisfied with the details then it forward the request of
granting loan to the sanctioning authority within the SME branch.
And finally after the verification by sanctioning authority, the disbursement of

loan amount takes place in the account of that SME
This whole procedure right from application to disbursement of loan amount

takes approximately 15-20 days as the procedure involves analysis of
documents by only 2 branches i.e. the local area branch and the SME branch
and thus the disbursement period is less as compared to SBI as there is to and
fro movement of documents between several branches in SBI..

Interpretation: Following inference can be made from table above:
 In case of SBI the interest rate is different for different loan amount but for all
slabs the interest rate is less compared to the interest rate of ICICI bank.
 In case SBI there is no service charge to be paid while in case of ICICI bank
there is about 0.5-2.50% service charge so in this case SBI is better than ICICI
bank.
 In case of SBI there is no minimum limit for loan amount while for ICICI bank
it is Rs. 10 lacs. While there is maximum limit for SBI is Rs. 5crores and Rs. 1
crore for working capital while for ICICI there is no upper limit. So we can say
in case of minimum loan amount SBI is better and I case of upper limit of loan
amount ICICI is better.
 In case of SBI the amount of loan available is 90% for loan amount below Rs. 5
lacs and above Rs. 5 lacs it is 85% while in case of ICICI bank it varies
between 75-90% so for loan below Rs. 5 lacs SBI is a better option while for
loan amount above Rs. 5 lacs if amount of loan sanctioned is above 85% then
ICICI bank will be right choice otherwise SBI will be a better option.
 The repayment period of SBI is maximum 7 years while for ICICI bank it is
maximum 5 years but only for certain cases it can be extended to 7 years in
ICICI bank. So looking at this figures it is clear that in this case SBI is better
option than ICICI bank
 In case of SBI the security for Allopathic doctors for loan above Rs. 15 lacs is
25% and below that it is Nil while in case of other doctors for loan amount
above Rs. 10 lacs the security is 25% and below that it is Nil but in ICICI bank
the security is 30-40% for all loan amount and for everyone thus it is clear that
SBI is better compared to ICICI bank in case of security.
 For eligibility criteria, In SBI there is credit scoring model and based on the
score obtain in that loan is given to only those SMEs who score above 60% i.e.
if they fail to qualify for one criteria of a model but qualify for rest other criteria
then they are eligible but in case of ICICI the SME should have a Networth of
minimum Rs. 40 lacs otherwise they fail to qualify for loan. Thus SBI seems to
be a better option here.
Looking at the above interpretations it is clear that for SME belonging to

Medical sector SME loan from SBI will be better option as compared to ICICI
bank.

it is Rs. 10 lacs. While there is no upper limit in both the cases. So we can say
SBI is better than ICICI bank as there is no minimum loan limit, it is need
based.
 In case of SBI the amount of loan available is 85% while in case of ICICI bank
it varies between 75-90% so if amount of loan sanctioned is above 85% then
ICICI bank will be right choice otherwise SBI will be a better option.
 The repayment period of SBI is minimum 3 years and maximum 7 years while
for ICICI bank it is maximum 5 years but only for certain cases it can be
extended to 7 years in ICICI bank. So looking at these figures it is clear that in
this case SBI is better option than ICICI bank as maximum limit in all cases for
SBI is 7 years.
 In case of SBI the security for loan amount below Rs. 2 lacs is only personal
guarantee of Promoter and for loan amount above Rs. 2 lacs the security is
personal guarantee of Promoter as well as equitable amount of mortgage but in
ICICI bank the security is 30-40% for all loan amount and for everyone thus it
is clear that for loan amount below Rs. 2 Lacs SBI is better compared to ICICI
bank and for loan amount above Rs. 2 lacs ICICI bank is a better option in case
of security.
 For eligibility criteria, In SBI all institutions with necessary government
approval except professional colleges and coaching classes are eligible there is
no criteria of Networth while in case of ICICI the SME should have a Networth
of minimum Rs. 40 lacs otherwise they fail to qualify for loan. Thus SBI seems
