Answer »Answer: (d)

The Scheme is presently being operated through the Export-Import (EXIM) Bank of India, which raises resources from the market to provide concessional finance to the Indian entities abroad. Govt. of India provides counter guarantee and interest equalization (subsidy) support of 2% to the EXIM Bank.
Under the Scheme, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) selects the specific projects keeping in view the strategic interest of India and sends the same to the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA).

Once approved by the Committee, DEA issues a formal letter to EXIM Bank conveying approval for financing of the project under CFS.
