­Government guarantee for DSRA replenishment
The Government of Tamil Nadu (GoT) has provided a guarantee to cover any shortfall in the Debt Service Reserve Account (DSRA) within the specified timeline. The issuer is responsible for ensuring that the necessary funds are transferred to the Bond Service Account (BSA) in order to maintain the full servicing amount, at least 45 days before the relevant quarterly servicing date (T-45). If a shortfall in funds is identified in the BSAfive days prior to the servicing date (T-5), the shortfall will be addressed by transferring funds from the DSRA. The Debenture Trustee will verify the adequacy of the DSRA at the beginning of each servicing cycle. In the event of a shortfall due to previous cycle utilization, the state government will be required to cover the shortfall within the next 30 days (T+30). If this is not met, the state government’s guarantee will be invoked, and the Debt Default Mechanism (DDM) will be triggered the following day (T+31) to meet shortfall amount, forthwith, directly into DSRA.
