      E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The Tandon Committee (1975) prescribed three methods for assessing Maximum Permissible Bank Finance (MPBF): 1. First Method: MPBF = 75% of Working Capital Gap (i.e., Current Assets – Current Liabilities other than bank borrowings). β†’ Borrower to bring in 25% of Working Capital Gap. 2. Second Method (more stringent): MPBF = (Current Assets – Current Liabilities other than bank borrowings) – 25% of Current Assets. β†’ Borrower must finance at least 25% of Current Assets from long-term funds. 3. Third Method: MPBF = (Current Assets – Current Liabilities other than bank borrowings) – 25% of (Current Assets – Core Current Assets). β†’ Even higher margin expected from borrower. Thus, the second method requires banks to ensure that borrowers finance 25% of Current Assets through long-term sources, and only the balance working capital is financed by banks.
