Fund-Based Domestic Credit Facilities — Structure, Pricing & Management

Non-Fund-Based Domestic Credit Facilities
Decode the world of contingent credit — bank guarantees, letters of credit, co-acceptances, and performance bonds. Understand how these instruments work mechanically, how banks assess and price the contingent risk, and how corporates can use them strategically to preserve cash and manage counterparty relationships.

- 5.2Financial Covenants: Interpretation, Monitoring & Breach ManagementIncluded
- 5.3Security, Charges & Credit Documentation ComplianceIncluded

VIKASH KUMAR JAIN
I've spent over a decade working at the intersection of corporate banking, credit structuring, and treasury advisory in the Indian financial markets. I've seen on both sides of the credit table — appraising proposals as a banker and negotiating facilities as an advisor to corporates — which means I understand not just how these instruments are defined, but how they are used, misused, negotiated, and priced in practice.
I built this course because I consistently saw the same gap: finance professionals who were highly competent in their own slice of credit but lacked a complete, connected picture of the Indian corporate credit ecosystem. My goal here is to give you the structured, practical understanding that typically takes years of on-the-job exposure to accumulate — without the trial and error. Everything in this course is grounded in real transactions, current RBI and FEMA regulations, and the kind of cost and risk thinking that actually moves the needle for corporates and lenders alike.
