India's Trusted MSME Loan Restructuring Consultants
Save your business from NPA. We negotiate tenor extension, moratorium, interest reduction, WCTL/FITL and working capital restructuring under the RBI Prudential Framework — before the account slips beyond recovery.
Why Businesses Hire a Restructuring Consultant
Restructure vs OTS vs compromise vs IBC 12A — we pick what actually saves the business, not what earns higher fees.
June 2019 Prudential Framework, Jan 2019 / Feb 2020 / May 2021 MSME circulars — filed in the exact format banks approve.
SMA-1/SMA-2 cases moved before 90-DPD tagging — the highest-leverage window in the entire process.
Advocates on standby for 13(2) replies, DRT stay applications and consortium ICA drafting.
Meetings with credit committees and empowered officers — not just the branch manager.
Moratorium, step-up EMI, balloon repayment and FITL structured to match real business cashflow.
30-minute confidential call. We tell you honestly — restructure, settle, or fight.
Our 5-Step Consulting Process
30-minute call. We review your financials, notices, and lender profile — and tell you honestly whether restructuring is viable.
3-year P&L, cashflow, DSCR, TOL/TNW and working-capital cycle audit to determine the correct restructuring format.
RBI-compliant restructuring proposal with revised repayment schedule, TEV note where required, and hardship narrative.
Direct representation before branch, zonal office, credit committee and — for consortium — ICA coordination.
Revised sanction letter, documentation, account tagging correction, and post-restructuring compliance monitoring.
Assessment: Is Your Business a Restructuring Candidate?
Before we accept any engagement, we run a six-point viability audit. If your business fails the viability test, we tell you so — and route you to the correct alternative (OTS, compromise, or IBC 12A) instead of billing you for a restructuring that will never sanction.
Is projected cashflow sufficient to service the restructured EMI within 6–24 months? If yes, restructuring is on the table.
We rebuild 3-year DSCR at revised tenor/rate. Banks approve when average DSCR ≥ 1.25 and minimum ≥ 1.10.
Existing gearing, promoter contribution capacity, and any fresh equity/quasi-equity infusion planned.
Primary + collateral security valuation vs restructured exposure — banks need comfort on the security ratio.
Sector outlook, order-book visibility and receivable quality — inputs to the TEV study where required.
Repayment history, CIBIL commercial, wilful-default screening — non-negotiables for approval.
Documentation We Prepare
80% of restructuring rejections are documentation-driven, not merit-driven. Our team assembles a paginated, cross-referenced file that mirrors exactly what the credit committee needs to sanction.
- Sanction letter(s) & loan statement(s)
- Latest bank notices (SMA / recall / 13(2) if any)
- 3-year audited financials + provisional current year
- GST returns (last 24 months) & ITRs (3 years)
- Debtors / creditors ageing, stock statement
- Bank statements (all accounts, 12 months)
- Order book / MOU / receivable proofs
- Property valuation & title documents
- Promoter net-worth statement & CIBIL
- Hardship note (industry, buyer, promoter events)
Bank Negotiations: How We Actually Win Sanctions
Bank-grade paginated file submitted 5–7 days before the committee meeting so the officer has time to internalise the case.
Open with tenor extension + moratorium + interest step-down — never with waiver. Sets a restructuring frame, not a settlement frame.
Every ask is backed by revised DSCR sheet. Officers approve what they can defend to the credit committee.
Offer additional collateral, personal guarantee reaffirmation or promoter infusion where feasible — dramatically shifts approval odds.
Branch → Zonal → GM → CGM. Consultants know exactly when to escalate and when to hold.
No payment, no fresh security, no document signed until the revised sanction letter is issued in writing.

Success Factors: What Actually Gets Restructurings Sanctioned
Cases moved in SMA-1/SMA-2 window have 3× higher approval rate than post-NPA cases.
80% of restructuring rejections are documentation-driven, not merit-driven. A complete file is the single biggest lever.
Over-optimistic projections destroy credibility. Consultants build conservative, defendable numbers.
Fresh infusion, additional collateral, or personal guarantee dramatically improves approval odds.
One consultant coordinating all lenders in a consortium avoids contradictory proposals.
Timely repayment for the first 12 months locks the 'Standard' tag and rebuilds credit.
When Restructuring is NOT the Right Route
- DSCR remains below 1.0 even at maximum permissible tenor
- Sector in structural decline (no visibility of revenue revival)
- Promoter unable to bring any fresh infusion or collateral
- Multiple lenders unwilling to sign ICA / one lender proceeds under SARFAESI
- Statutory dues (GST, PF, ESI) unpaid for extended periods
- Wilful default proceedings or fraud tag under consideration
If two or more signs apply to your case, we typically recommend moving directly to OTS or compromise settlement instead of restructuring. See our settlement consultant guide.
