Micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) form the backbone of India’s economy, owing to their considerable contribution to the country’s GDP, exports, and employment generation. At present, there are approximately 6.3 crore MSMEs in India, contributing to around 30% of India’s GDP and more than 40% of total exports. Moreover, MSMEs are the second-largest employer in India after the agriculture sector.

Calculating an MSME/SME Loan EMI

Principal Loan Amount

The “principal loan amount” is the most crucial factor that determines your SME loan EMIs. It refers to the amount you have borrowed from a lender to fulfill the working capital requirements of your business. If you borrow a high loan amount, your SME loan EMIs will also increase since you will have to repay a significantly larger sum. Thus, it’s crucial to assess your financial requirements carefully and apply for the right loan amount.

Loan Tenure

Another factor that plays a major role in determining your MSME loan EMI is the “loan tenure”. It refers to the period or duration for which you have taken a business loan. If you want to spread your SME loan repayment into smaller EMIs, you can opt for a longer loan tenure. However, doing so would increase your overall interest outgo. On the flip side, if you can afford to pay larger EMIs and want to reduce your borrowing costs, you can opt for a shorter loan tenure.

Rate of Interest

The third factor that determines your SME loan EMI is the applicable rate of interest. Your MSME loan interest rate is decided by the lender at the time of loan approval. A higher interest rate results in larger EMIs since the total interest amount you need to pay to the lender increases. You can secure the lowest MSME loan interest rate based on your credit score, age, business experience, and a sound business plan for the future.

Once you know these MSME loan details, you can calculate your loan EMI through a mathematical formula mentioned below:

E = P x R x (1+R) ^ N / [(1+R) ^ N – 1]

Here, ‘E’ is your SME Loan EMI, ‘P’ is the Principal Loan Amount, ‘R’ is the applicable Rate of Interest on a monthly basis, and ‘N’ is the Loan Tenure in months.

If you don’t want to go through complex mathematical calculations, you can use our online business loan EMI calculator to determine your SME loan EMIs. All you have to do is enter your loan amount, loan duration, and the applicable rate of interest in this calculator, and it will display your monthly EMI within a few seconds.

Do's and Don'ts when Applying for an MSME Loan Online

While Tata Capital offers simple eligibility criteria and an easy online application process to obtain an MSME loan, borrowers must consider a few steps to ensure quick loan approval without any hassles.

 

Assess the Loan Amount: Determine your loan requirements based on the business plan, growth potential, and the timeline for revenue generation. This will help you ensure no overestimation of the loan amount when applying.

Multiple Applications: Avoid applying for an MSME loan with multiple lenders, as it can seriously impact your credit score. A poor credit score can further affect your chances of loan approval or fetch higher interest rates, which can be damaging to your business growth.

Keep Documentation Handy: Make a list of documents required for the loan process and keep them handy when applying to ensure smooth and hassle-free loan approval.

Fine Print: While Tata Capital offers favourable and transparent loan terms, it is important for the borrower to read the fine print carefully to understand the terms, especially those related to interest rates and additional charges.

Check Credit Score: Most lenders have set credit score criteria to verify your eligibility for the loan. Make sure to check the lender's credit score requirements before applying.

Repayment Schedule: Not adhering to the repayment schedule can severely affect your credit score and add to your financial burden with outstanding EMIs and penalty charges.

Business Plan: Make sure to keep handy the details of how you plan to use the funds during the MSME loan application to ensure seamless approval.
