debit of the borrowers account as on March 31 of each year, by May 31 of every
year.
2. In case of default of the credit facility extended by the MLI to the eligible
borrower and covered under CGFSI, the MLI may Invoke the Guarantee and

credit facility has not been paid and the dues have been classified by the
