In addition, to facilitate easy flow of credit to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), the Government launched Credit Guarantee Fund Scheme for Micro and Small Enterprises in August, 2000 under which guarantee cover is provided for collateral free credit extended to micro and small enterprise (MSEs). The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has also issued guidelines in May, 2010, which mandatorily require banks to dispense with collateral requirement for loans up to Rs.1 million to MSEs. The Ministry also implements Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme and Credit Linked Capital Subsidy Scheme, wherein margin money and capital subsidy respectively are disbursed to bring down the effective cost of loan.
