Detailed Project Report For Bank Loan
Securing a bank loan requires more than just a good idea; it requires a Detailed Project Report (DPR) that proves your business is viable, profitable, and capable of repaying the debt. Banks look at a DPR as a roadmap of your professional competence.
Here is a comprehensive breakdown of the essential sections you need to include.
1. Project At A Glance (Executive Summary)
Think of this as your "elevator pitch." If a loan officer only reads two pages, it will be these.
- Business Name & Constitution: (Proprietorship, Partnership, or Pvt Ltd).
- Promoter Profile: Brief background of the owners.
- Project Cost: Total investment required.
- Means of Finance: How much is your contribution vs. the bank loan.
- Key Financial Indicators: DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio), BEP (Break-Even Point), and IRR (Internal Rate of Return).
2. Promoter & Management Profile
Banks bet on people, not just businesses.
- Educational Background: Proof that you know your field.
- Experience: Previous track record in the industry.
- Net Worth: Personal assets and liabilities statement of the promoters.
3. Market Analysis & Strategy
You need to prove there is a demand for what you are selling.
- Target Market: Who are your customers?
- Competitors: Who else is doing this and what is your edge?
- Marketing Plan: How will you reach your customers? (Digital marketing, B2B, etc.)
- SWOT Analysis: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.
4. Technical Feasibility
How does the business actually run?
- Location: Why did you choose this site? (Proximity to raw materials/customers).
- Manufacturing Process: A step-by-step flow chart (if applicable).
- Machinery & Equipment: List of required tools with quotes from suppliers.
- Raw Materials: Availability and source of supply.
- Utilities: Power, water, and waste management requirements.
5. Financial Projections (The "Numbers" Section)
This is the heart of the DPR. You usually need to provide 3 to 5 years of projections.

Key Ratios Banks Look For
Banks use specific formulas to check your "repayment health." For example, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) is vital:
$$DSCR = \frac{\text{Net Operating Income}}{\text{Total Debt Service}}$$
Pro Tip: A DSCR above 1.5 is generally considered healthy by most commercial banks.
6. Statutory Approvals & Licenses
List the legal requirements you have already met or plan to meet:
- GST Registration.
- Pollution Control Board Clearance (if industrial).
- MSME/Udyam Registration.
- Trade Licenses.
How to make it "Bank-Ready"
- Be Realistic: Don't project 500% growth in year one. It looks suspicious.
- Documentation: Attach quotes for machinery and rent agreements.
- Professional Help: While you can draft the business plan, it is highly recommended to have a Chartered Accountant (CA) certify the financial projections.
