PMEGP Eligibility Conditions of Beneficiaries

Before you even think about applying for PMEGP loan, you need to check whether you are eligible. After all, there is no essence of starting the application process yet you do not meet the set standards. To ensure you’re making a well-informed decision, here is a full list of eligible candidates.

• Production co-operative societies
• Charitable trusts
• Societies registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860
• Self-help groups yet to avail any other benefit under the PMEGP scheme
• Individuals above the age of 18 and must have studied and passed at least class 8 before they can start a manufacturing unit that costs over Rs. 10 lakh or service unit costing over Rs. 5 lakh with the loan.

If you meet any of the above-mentioned criteria, then you should never hesitate to apply for a PMEGP loan. The good news is you not need to  have any income ceilings before availing this loan. Nevertheless, the loan is not available for operating units established under REGP, PMRY, or other government schemes, but rather given to new units.
