Collateral free loan up to Rs. 200 lakh under CGTMSE

The Credit Guarantee Fund Scheme for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGS) was launched by the GOI to make available collateral-free credit to the micro and small enterprise sector. Both the existing and the new enterprises are eligible to be covered under the scheme.

Priority Lending:

Our first MSME benefit is priority lending. Whether you’re the proud owner of a cutting-edge technology business or a masala packing company, employing rural women, credit and loan is something that your business will inevitably require for long- and short-term financing. Banks, by virtue of the directions issued by the Reserve Bank of India, have certain earmarked funds that have to mandatorily be given to MSME businesses. Producing MSME certificate benefits to entitle one to avail this loan on a priority basis with fewer hassles.

Lesser interest rates and availability and access to greater credit:

In the absence of collateral security (any property/cash given as a security against a loan), many business owners may find it extremely hard to secure a loan for starting in their industry. However, with an MSME Registration, all banks are specifically instructed to offer loans at interest rates lower than the usual and one may be able to avail this benefit from several banking institutions for their financing needs.
