WMA Limit

The WMA limit arrived at by the Committee based on total expenditure of States/ UTs, works out to ₹47,010 crore. As the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is still prevalent, the existing interim WMA limit of ₹51,560 crore for all States/ UTs shall continue for six months i.e., up to September 30, 2021 (State/ UT-wise WMA limits are given in the Annex). The Reserve Bank will review the WMA limit thereafter, depending on the course of the pandemic and its impact on the economy.

Special Drawing Facility (SDF)

SDF availed by State Governments/ UTs shall continue to be linked to the quantum of their investments in marketable securities issued by the Government of India, including the Auction Treasury Bills (ATBs). The net annual incremental investments in CSF and GRF shall continue to be eligible for availing of SDF, without any upper limit. A uniform hair cut of 5 per cent shall be applied on the market value of securities, for determining the operating limit of SDF on a daily basis.

Overdraft (OD) Regulations

The interim relaxations1 on OD were effective till March 31, 2021.Thereafter, extant OD Regulations of State Governments/ UTs are in force.

Interest Rate on SDF, WMA and OD

Interest rate on SDF, WMA and OD shall continue to be linked to the Policy rate of the Reserve Bank i.e., the Repo Rate. Interest will be charged for all the days the advance remains outstanding.

The prevailing rates are retained as given below:

Scheme Limit Rate of Interest
SDF If availed against net annual incremental investment in CSF and GRF Repo rate minus 2 per cent
If availed against investment in G-sec/ ATBs Repo rate minus 1 per cent
WMA If outstanding up to 3 months from the date of making the advance Repo rate
If outstanding beyond three months from the date of making the advance Repo rate plus 1 per cent
OD If availed up to 100 per cent of WMA limit Repo rate plus 2 per cent
