Clause 2 of the above circular specified the eligibility conditions for MSME accounts to be considered for restructuring under the framework, which inter alia states that the aggregate exposure, including non-fund based facilities, of all lending institutions to the MSME borrower should not exceed ₹25 crore as on March 31, 2021.
