About The Scheme In Details

Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP)

PMEGP is a central-sector Government Scheme that provides bank-linked business loans with margin money (subsidy). It helps individuals and small groups start new micro-enterprises in manufacturing and services across India. Additionally, KVIC, KVIBs, and District Industries Centres (DICs) implement this scheme along with participating banks. It also merges the earlier REGP and PMRY schemes.

What this scheme offers

PMEGP offers a credit-linked subsidy on new projects only. It does not cover expansion or modernisation. Furthermore, banks route the subsidy directly to beneficiaries.

The maximum project cost is typically up to ₹50 lakh for manufacturing units. For service units, the limit is up to ₹20 lakh. Moreover, bank finance and margin money subsidy vary by category and area.

The scheme provides subsidy ranging from 15% to 35% of the project cost. Special categories such as SC/ST/OBC, women, minorities, ex-servicemen, and people from NER, hill, or border areas receive higher subsidy. Rural units also get better support.

Additionally, PMEGP provides one-time assistance to set up new micro-enterprises for sustainable self-employment.

Beneficiary contribution and bank finance

General category applicants contribute 10% of the project cost. The bank then finances the remaining 90%. For special category applicants, own contribution is only 5%, and the bank covers 95%.

Furthermore, the government keeps the subsidy in a separate TDR for 3 years. After the unit successfully runs through the lock-in period, it is then adjusted.

In fact, PMEGP has already supported over 10 lakh micro-businesses with loans of more than ₹73,000 crore since inception. Therefore, it significantly contributes to employment generation in rural and urban India.

Key Benefits & Offers
