  • Shishu: up to ₹50,000
  • Kishore: above ₹50,000 up to ₹5 lakh
  • Tarun: above ₹5 lakh up to ₹10 lakh

Who can apply

Individuals, proprietors and small enterprises running or starting an income-generating activity in manufacturing, trading, services, or allied agriculture (dairy, poultry, fisheries, beekeeping, food processing).

How to apply

  • Apply at a bank, NBFC or MFI branch, or online through the government's Jan Samarth portal.
  • Keep identity and address proof, a simple business plan or quotation for machinery, and bank statements ready.
  • No collateral is needed; loans are covered by a government credit guarantee fund. Interest rates are set by each lender.
