If net profit is ₹3 lakh, depreciation ₹50,000, interest ₹1 lakh, then DSCR = (3+0.5+1)/2.64 = 1.70. Banks require DSCR >1.25. Use conservative revenue estimates.

Common mistakes: unrealistic revenue projections (e.g., 100% capacity from day one), ignoring working capital needs, missing machinery quotations, incorrect CMA data, low DSCR (<1.25), lack of market analysis (competition, demand), and no contingency plan. Also, incomplete KYC or missing subsidy documents. Ensure all calculations are consistent and based on local market rates.
