Stand-Up India Scheme
The headline terms at a glance — set by the scheme and the lender, and subject to change.
What it is
The scheme in plain English — no jargon, no promises.
Stand-Up India facilitates bank loans to at least one woman and one SC/ST borrower per bank branch for setting up a greenfield enterprise in manufacturing, services or trading. It's specifically designed to widen access to credit for founders the mainstream file often overlooks.
The loan is a regular bank loan delivered under the scheme's framework; eligibility and ticket ranges are set by the scheme and applied by the lender. We match a qualifying founder to a participating lender and prepare the file.
