What Is a PMEGP Loan?

PMEGP is a government-backed, credit-linked subsidy scheme run by the Ministry of MSME. KVIC is the national nodal agency, implemented at state and district level through KVIC Directorates, State KVIBs, DICs, the Coir Board and participating banks.

You take a loan from a bank to set up a new micro-enterprise, and the government provides a margin money subsidy that reduces your effective loan liability — adjusted against the loan, not paid to you upfront

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR PMEGP?

Age 18+, No Income Ceiling

An individual applicant must be above 18 years of age. There is no income ceiling for assistance under PMEGP.

Educational Qualification

At least VIII standard pass is required for projects costing above ₹10 lakh in manufacturing and above ₹5 lakh in the business/service sector.

New Projects

PMEGP assistance for new units is available for eligible new projects. Existing eligible PMEGP/MUDRA units may separately qualify for second financial assistance for upgradation subject to applicable scheme conditions.

Important Eligibility Notes

COMMON ISSUES THAT MAY DELAY A PMEGP APPLICATION

Incomplete or Inconsistent Information

Differences between the application, project report and supporting documents may result in queries or further clarification.

Unrealistic Financial Assumptions

Sales, expenses, profitability and repayment projections should be reasonable and consistent with the proposed scale of the business.

Missing Eligibility Documents

Missing category, education, rural-area or other applicable documents may affect processing or eligibility.

Ineligible Business Activity

The proposed activity should fall within the activities permitted under current PMEGP guidelines. Trading activities have specific eligibility conditions.

Incorrect Project-Cost Structure

The project cost should follow applicable PMEGP rules. Subsidy is limited to the admissible project-cost ceiling; any excess financing is subject to the bank's decision and scheme conditions.

Missing Cost Support

Machinery quotations and other relevant cost documents help support the project-cost assumptions used in the application and project report.

Had to give two stars for the lack of commitment from the team.
Before paying for the service, I have enquired if there is any time restriction or restriction on number of changes and was told no. However Second report was erroneous and had to make corrections for the points missed.
Now the team wants me to pay additional amount for making changes related to Fiinancials.
Extremely disappointed
