In terms of the extant provisions in\u00a0paragraphs 2.15\u00a0and\u00a02.16 (xiii)\u00a0of Master Direction No. 5 dated January 1, 2016 on \u201cExternal Commercial Borrowings, Trade Credit, Borrowing and Lending in Foreign Currency by Authorised Dealers and Persons other than Authorised Dealers\u201d, as amended from time to time, Indian corporates are permitted to refinance their existing External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs) at a lower all-in-cost. The overseas branches\/subsidiaries of Indian banks are however, not permitted to extend such refinance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. In order to provide a level playing field, it has been decided, in consultation with the Government of India, to permit the overseas branches\/subsidiaries of Indian banks to refinance ECBs of highly rated (AAA) corporates as well as Navratna and Maharatna PSUs, provided the outstanding maturity of the original borrowing is not reduced and all-in-cost of fresh ECB is lower than the existing ECB. Partial refinance of existing ECBs will also be permitted subject to same conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">3. All other aspects of the ECB policy remain unchanged.
