Frequently asked questions
Is the loan or subsidy guaranteed?
No. The bank and the department decide. We prepare the file properly to improve your chances.
When does the subsidy come?
In most schemes the subsidy is back-ended — it is credited to the loan account after the loan is sanctioned and the unit is set up.
Can I start small?
Yes, this basic plant is the smallest bankable unit. Starting small after training is safer.
