Episode 13 – Collateral in MSME Loans: More Than Just Security

2. How bankers view collateral — not as repayment, but as risk cover
3. The most common mistakes MSMEs make with collateral
4. Types of collateral beyond just property (FDs, LIC, NSCs, machinery, guarantees, CGTMSE)
5. A smart borrower’s guide to managing collateral wisely

If you’ve ever struggled with the question, “Why does the bank need collateral even if my business is good?”, this episode will clear your doubts.
