Under the scheme, a financial assistance of Rs. 10000 would be provided to eligible individuals to start a small business. This would include a loan of Rs. 7500 and a grant of Rs. 2500.

The financial assistance would ONLY be provided to those individuals who don’t have any pending government debts or serious legal cases against them.
Interested candidates can visit the official website and fill out the required form. They would also need to upload certain documents, including Aadhaar card, a passport-size photo, bank account details, residence and income certificate and a disability certificate.
Once the form and other formalities have been duly completed, they need to take a printout and submit it to the department’s office at Room No. 21, Vikas Bhawan.
