Borrowing from offshore within the framework, at the right cost.
External Commercial Borrowings allow Indian companies to borrow from offshore lenders including the foreign parent within the framework prescribed by the Reserve Bank. The framework covers eligible borrowers, eligible lenders, end-use restrictions, all-in cost ceilings, minimum average maturity, and detailed monthly reporting through Form ECB-2.
We advise on ECB structuring, prepare the Loan Registration Number (LRN) application, manage the AD bank coordination, and handle the monthly Form ECB-2 reporting through the loans life.
