New Delhi, Apr 13 (KNN) With a view to help small businesses to avail secured loans, private sector lender YES Bank has launched a credit product called YES GST to provide loans to MSMEs on the basis of their Good and Services Tax (GST) returns.
YES GST is an overdraft (OD) facility for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), through which small entrepreneurs can avail ODs up to Rs 1 crore based on their annual turnover and GST returns.
The bank is targeting a loan amount of Rs 1,000 crore through YES GST in the fiscal year 2018-19.

With an average ticket size of Rs 40-50 lakh, the product will disburse Rs 1000 crore depending on the size and scale of business.
Over documentation, Pental said that to avail the benefits of this product no additional assessment of balance sheet or bank statement will be required.
The MSMEs can avail this OD facility even with zero balance against mortgage of residential or commercial property.
The MSMEs can use this sanctioned amount either fully or in tranches, he added.
In addition to this, the loan assessment would be done on the basis of last six months of GST returns and after the consent of customer the further process of documentation will be conducted.
With all procedures done, the loan can be processed within a day.
