CGTMSE (Working Capital Loan)
- The Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE) is a transformative initiative designed to empower India’s micro and small businesses. Launched in August 2000 by the Government of India in collaboration with the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI), the scheme aims to provide financial security and promote entrepreneurial spirit.
- Operating under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, CGTMSE offers a crucial safety net by guaranteeing credit facilities to eligible enterprises. This assurance encourages banks and financial institutions to lend more freely, thereby reducing financial hurdles for small businesses. With its mission to mitigate business uncertainties, CGTMSE has become a cornerstone of support for entrepreneurs striving to contribute to India’s economic growth.
- Through this scheme, the government not only underscores its commitment to fostering a robust MSME ecosystem but also inspires innovation and resilience among small business owners.
- CGTMSE Loan Coverage
- The CGTMSE scheme supports new and existing businesses by covering term and working capital loans. Eligible enterprises can receive coverage of up to ₹500 lakh, ensuring robust financial support.
- Guarantee Coverage
- Covers 75% to 85%, with 50% for retail activities.
