when the request is made after the date on which six months have elapsed from the date of occurrence of the bankruptcy;
請求が倒産の発生の日から六月を経過した日後にされたものであるとき。

an amount equivalent to one-tenth of the amount of mutual aid benefits already lent or to be lent;
既に貸付けを受け、又は受けることとなつた共済金の額の十分の一に相当する額

in the case of a loan relating to a mutual aid contract for which an increase in the monthly premium took effect during the period from the date six months before the day preceding the date of occurrence of the bankruptcy to the date on which the request for the loan was made, the total amount of the premiums, among those paid, equivalent to that increase;
the total amount of premiums paid on or after the day following the date of occurrence of the bankruptcy and after the payment due date had passed (excluding premiums equivalent to the increase prescribed in the preceding item), for which there was a delay exceeding the period specified by Order of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
The amount specified by Cabinet Order in the proviso to the preceding paragraph is to be determined taking into consideration the amount of funds with which, by receiving the loan, most small and medium-sized enterprises are expected to be able to avoid situations such as becoming bankrupt owing to the effects of the bankruptcy of their business partner companies, and other such matters.
The Organization may decline to lend all or part of the mutual aid benefits where a mutual aid policyholder who has requested a loan of mutual aid benefits has neglected to repay mutual aid benefits already lent, or where it is found that the mutual aid policyholder acted in bad faith or with gross negligence in coming to hold the accounts receivable, etc. in question or in their becoming difficult to collect.
Where the Organization is to lend mutual aid benefits to a mutual aid policyholder and there is a temporary loan to be repaid, or interest or a penalty under Article 10-2, paragraph (5) to be paid, the Organization may deduct the total amount of the amounts set out in the following items from the loan amount of those mutual aid benefits:
the portion of that temporary loan that exceeds the maximum loan amount of the temporary loan that would be lent on the assumption that that temporary loan did not exist at the time of the loan of those mutual aid benefits;
当該一時貸付金のうち当該共済金の貸付けの時に当該一時貸付金がなかつたと仮定した場合に貸し付けるべき一時貸付金の貸付限度額を超える額
