What Can One Expect On The Restart Of Businesses Post Lockdown?
COVID-19 (Coronavirus) is having an unprecedented and devastating impact on businesses. Travel restrictions disrupted supply chains, subdued demand and labor issues have unsettled the businesses.
It will lead to the following-
- Lesser Demand and Supply
- Employee lay-offs
- Default and/or renegotiation of contracts
- Liquidity issues thereby severely impacting cash flows
- Delays in servicing of Debt
- Working capital finance being blocked and new finance being difficult

Most businesses (particularly MSMEs) are vulnerable whenever normal economic activity ceases, despite governmental interventions to limit economic upset.
Several business entities would be grappling with –
- Declining profitability
- Poor/negative cash position

What If One Was Already Having An Overdue Emi Prior To The Lockdown?
An interesting scenario arises in case of the already stressed accounts which were overdue prior to the lockdown. The otherwise available 90 day period before being classified as NPA by the financial institution has shrunk as the lockdown has prevented the economic activity and thereby the generation of funds to honor the repayment obligations. The RBI has clarified that the lockdown period would be excluded in the calculation of 90 days period for the calculation of the NPA.
