Implementation

At present, the Scheme is being implemented by 12 nodal banks/agencies including SIDBI and NABARD.

Except SIDBI and NABARD, all the nodal banks/agencies would consider proposals only in respect of credit approved by their respective branches, whereas, for other Primary Lending Institutions (PLI) approved under the guidelines, SIDBI and NABARD would be the nodal agencies for release of subsidy under this Scheme.

Online Application and Tracking System has been introduced w.e.f. 01.10.2013 and the SME units need to upload their subsidy claim application though their PLIs.

After processing of application and subject to availability of funds, due approval is accorded from the Competent Authority with concurrence of Internal Finance Wing, after which funds are released to Nodal Agencies.
