Rather than the loan being secured against an asset, it is backed by the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This alleviates the risks faced by the lender and enhances the entrepreneur&#8217;s chances of securing a loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key highlights of the scheme:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Financing up to \u20b910 crore<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Without collateral or third-party guaranty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Government-backed risk coverage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offered by banks and NBFCs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"why-this-scheme-is-important\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_This_Scheme_is_Important\"><\/span><strong>Why This Scheme is Important<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MSME sector is an important part of the Indian economy and the problem has always been credit.

It enables mid-sized enterprises to plan effectively without having to compromise because of a lack of capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, sectors such as manufacturing, processing and engineering need more investment. This new limit will allow entrepreneurs to set up improved machinery, operations, and infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further, priority categories like women and SC\/ST entrepreneurs can get higher loan guarantees, making it easier to access credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"related-article-top-msme-government-schemes-in-india-how-to-get-subsidy-loan-amp-funding-for-small-business\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Article_Top_MSME_Government_Schemes_in_India_How_to_Get_Subsidy_Loan_Funding_for_Small_Business\"><\/span>Related Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/msme-government-schemes\/\">Top MSME Government Schemes in India: How to Get Subsidy, Loan &amp; Funding for Small Business<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"687\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Gemini_Generated_Image_7gnhdl7gnhdl7gnh-687x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Gemini_Generated_Image_7gnhdl7gnhdl7gnh-687x1024.png 687w, https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Gemini_Generated_Image_7gnhdl7gnhdl7gnh-201x300.png 201w, https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Gemini_Generated_Image_7gnhdl7gnhdl7gnh-768x1145.png 768w, https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Gemini_Generated_Image_7gnhdl7gnhdl7gnh-512x763.png 512w, https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Gemini_Generated_Image_7gnhdl7gnhdl7gnh.png 848w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"stepbystep-process-to-apply\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-by-Step_Process_to_Apply\"><\/span><strong>Step-by-Step Process to Apply<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process of availing a CGTMSE loan is very simple though you may need to do certain preparations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First thing required is to register your enterprise under Udyam.
