PMEGP Loan Scheme Details
Let us look at the various aspects of the PMEGP Loan, from the percentage share of funds allocated to each party to the interest rate and tenure.
- Loan Allocation
- The breakup of the amount disbursed under a PMEGP loan is as follows:
- Once the application is approved, the bank allocates 95% of the project cost (for the poorer sections of society) or 90% of the project cost (for general applicants).
- The government provides margin money or subsidy of 15-35% of this amount. The amount of margin money taken by banks will be proportional to the applicant’s actual capital expenditure. The remaining margin money will be returned to the Khadi and Village Industries Commission in proportion to the amount not used (KVIC).
- The bank provides the remainder of the funds as a term loan or PMEGP loan.
- Loan Quantum and Self-Investment
