Microfinance institutions and non-bank lenders are set to resume full-fledged operations in green and orange zones, or areas designated as safe from the Covid-19 virus outbreak, after the government announced lifting of several restrictions.

Para banks have requested that this window be established through MUDRA, Small Industries Development Bank of India, National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development and National Housing Bank. They are also requesting a special purpose vehicle that would be allowed to leverage about 4 times to provide a funding of ₹50,000 crore to small and medium-sized NBFCs.

​ NBFCs have also demanded for extension of the Reserve Bank of India's moratorium to them, relaxation on provisioning norms and additional funding from Small industrial Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) through refinance mechanism.

According to an Edelweiss report, Rs 1 trillion non-convertible dentures (NCDs) and Rs 1.2 trillion commercial papers (CPs) are due for maturity in May and June
