What is CGTMSE scheme?

The CGTMSE scheme (Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises) is a government program that helps small businesses and startups get loans without needing to provide any collateral or security. In simple words, if a small business wants a loan but doesn’t have property or assets to offer as a guarantee, this scheme makes it easier.

The government acts as a "guarantor" to the bank, meaning if the business fails to repay the loan, the government covers a large part of the loss. This helps encourage banks to lend more freely to small and new businesses, supporting entrepreneurship and job creation.
