FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

PMEGP Capital Subsidy FAQs

Essential clarity regarding government margin money releases, lock-in terms, and eligibility rules.

Subsidy Mechanism

Once your term loan is sanctioned and first installment disbursed, the nodal agency (KVIC) transfers the approved margin money subsidy directly to your financing bank. The bank places this amount in a Term Deposit Receipt (TDR) in your name for 3 years with zero interest charged on this portion.

After a successful physical verification inspection at the end of 3 years confirming active production, the TDR is adjusted directly against your term loan principal balance.

Eligibility

Initial PMEGP subsidy is strictly reserved for new greenfield projects. However, if your existing enterprise originally availed a PMEGP loan and repaid it successfully with clean track record, you can apply for the 2nd Upgradation Loan up to ₹1.00 Crore with an additional 15% to 20% subsidy.

Collateral & Security

Under RBI and MoMSME guidelines, no collateral or third-party guarantee is required for loans up to ₹10 Lakhs. For projects above ₹10 Lakhs up to ₹50 Lakhs, the entire loan is covered under the CGTMSE credit guarantee scheme with zero mortgage requirements.

Geographic Benefit

Any project location falling under a Gram Panchayat or revenue village is classified as Rural, qualifying for the higher subsidy rates (25% for General, 35% for Special Category). Municipal corporation and council zones are classified as Urban (15% General, 25% Special Category).
