What this benefit is

Exporting to a new or high-risk market is a big opportunity — but the fear of not getting paid holds many MSMEs back. This benefit shares that risk. Through government-backed instruments, your bank can confirm letters of credit and cover part of the payment risk on trades to under-served markets.

The risk cover ranges from 10% to 80% of the transaction value, based on an assessed risk score, using instruments like Stand-by Letters of Credit (SBLC), LC confirmation, Risk Participation and UPAS LC. It runs through EXIM Bank with NCGTC.

સાદી ભાષામાં: નવા બજારમાં વેચો, પણ પેમેન્ટનું જોખમ એકલા ન ઉઠાવો. 🛡️

LC confirmation = a bank guarantees you'll be paid even if the buyer's bank fails. SBLC = a back-up guarantee. All figures are as per current DGFT guidelines and should be verified before you act.

✅ Who can get it

You are an MSME exporter with valid IEC and Udyam.
You export (or want to) to markets on the Government's notified under-served list.

Common questions

Safer payments from risky markets — answered

Which countries qualify?

The scheme targets markets on the Government's notified under-served list, which is reviewed periodically. (EXIM Bank partners with 140+ banks across ~60 countries; the eligible-market list is a separate official list.) We confirm your market in the Benefit Check.

What is LC confirmation?

A confirming bank guarantees you'll be paid even if the buyer's bank fails to pay — reducing your risk on risky markets.

How much risk is covered?

Between 10% and 80% of the transaction value, based on an assessed risk score — not a fixed figure, and subject to eligibility.

Is EILI arranging the cover?

No — the cover is provided through EXIM Bank/NCGTC and your bank. EILI helps you apply correctly.
