  3. Partial Risk Guarantee Fund for Energy Efficiency (PRGFEE) • PRGFEE is a risk sharing mechanism to provide commercial banks with a partial coverage of risk involved in extending loans for energy efficiency projects. Government of India has approved around Rs. 312 crores for PRGFEE. • PRGFEE will act as a first-loss and subordinated recovery guarantee • Guarantees a maximum 50% of the loan (only principal). In case of default, the fund will: • Cover the first loss subject to maximum of 10% of the total guaranteed amount • Cover the remaining default (outstanding principal) amount on pari-passu basis upto the maximum guaranteed amount • The support under PRGFEE is limited to Government Buildings, Municipalities, SMEs and industries • The guidelines/rules for operationalization of PRGFEE have been approved in April 2012. However, during XII Plan it has been advised to slightly change the operational structure of PRGFEE, and hence, the revision of rules and its notification is under process.
