Government schemes for businesses in India mainly focus on providing the much needed capital
for investment at subsidised interest rates, which in turn encourages people to realise their dreams
with their own ventures. Although there are tons of schemes available, here’s looking at 10 of the
most viable startup schemes.

1) MUDRA – The Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency or MUDRA, is a flagship
program by the government of India to provide funds to micro and small enterprises. What sets
MUDRA apart from other loan schemes is the fact that no collateral is required to avail this loan.
It is applicable for manufacturing, trading, and even allied agricultural services. It has 3 modules,
Shishu (loan up to 50,000), Kishor (Loan between 50,000 and 5 lakh) and Tarun.

2) NABARD – The National Bank for Agriculture And Rural Development, or NABARD,
for short, is primarily aimed towards providing credit benefits to agriculture as well as other cottage
and village industries. It also provides finance to lending institutions in villages. With schemes for
food processing plants and integrated rural development, NABARD works in conjunction with the
RBI to implement and regulate financial assistance in rural areas. Its Dairy
Entrepreneurship Development scheme offers up to 90% of the project cost .

3) Credit Guarantee Scheme – The CGTMSE (Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and
Small Enterprises) was set up by the Government of India to provide business loans to micro and
small industries, with zero collateral. This means that new and upcoming startups can avail loans
at highly subsidised interest rates without providing any security. Working along with SIDBI
(Small Industries Development Bank of India), the government provides a maximum amount of
up to 100 lakhs under this scheme, for boosting new enterprises as well as rehabilitating existing
ones. Primarily for manufacturing units, this loan can be availed in the form of working capital or
term loan.
4) Stand Up India Scheme – Launched in 2016, this scheme was implemented to cater to
women entrepreneurs, as well as those from SC and ST communities. Ranging from 10 lakh to 100
lakh, it is available for Greenfield ventures in manufacturing, trading, and service units. Under this
scheme, it is mandatory for every bank to lend money to at least one woman entrepreneur and one
SC/ST unit per branch. In case of non-individual businesses, the woman entrepreneur must hold at
least a 51% stake in the unit. The loan can be provided as working capital with a maximum return
period of 7 years.
