What is the PMEGP Loan Limit?
The PMEGP loan limit is Rs. 9.5 to 23.75
lakhs. The maximum project cost of the manufacturing sector is limited to Rs.25
lakh and the business / service sector is limited to Rs.10 lakh. The
beneficiary makes a 5 to 10% contribution and the remaining 90 to 95% is
blocked by the bank.
In reality, only 60% to 75% of the cost
of your bank credit plan is because you receive the remaining 15 to 35% as
margin money through the PMEGP plan. Banks offer periodic loans to cover the

security according to your lender’s terms.
