Rajasthan Mukhyamantri Svanidhi Yojana

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

• The Rajasthan Government is continuously making efforts to provide necessary support to the vulnerable families.
• For this, they have started several initiatives to offer economic support.
• Recently, the government has started a new scheme called "Mukhyamantri Svanidhi Scheme".
• This scheme is different to the central government "PM Svanidhi Scheme", which provides financial support to unorganised street vendors.
• However, the PM Svanidhi Yojana doesn't provide support to various unorganised sector workers as they were not eligible.
• In order to fill this gap, the state government launched the Mukhyamantri Svanidhi Scheme.
• Under this scheme, the state government is distributing loans through Nationalised Commercial Banks, Gramin Banks, Private Sector Banks, and Scheduled Small Banks.
• The primary objective of the scheme is: -
  • To provide easy loan facilities to needy and vulnerable urban families.
  • To increase the capital flow in small businesses and enterprises.
  • To encourage self-reliance among the underprivileged.
• The Rajasthan Chief Minister Svanidhi Yojana offers collateral-free, subsidised loans in three phases: -
  • In Phase 1, the beneficiary will be granted a loan of Rs 10,000/- for 12 months.
  • In Phase 2, the beneficiary will get a Rs 20000 loan for a period of 18 months.
  • In Phase 3, beneficiaries will get Rs 50,000 for 36 months.
• The state government will provide a 7% percent interest subsidy on these loans.
• However, the interest subsidy will only be provided if the applicant repays the loan amount within the given schedule.
• The benefit of the scheme will be provided to needy and vulnerable families of the unorganised service sector, including: -
  • Gig Workers.
  • Transport Worker.
  • Domestic Worker.
  • Construction Worker.
  • Hawkers.
  • Waster Workers.
  • Rag pickers.
  • Artisans.
• To avail of the scheme benefits, the beneficiaries must meet its eligibility criteria (discussed in a later section).
• The loan provided under the scheme is collateral-free, which means beneficiaries are not required to submit any security.
• Application of Mukhyamantri Svanidhi Yojana can be submitted online through the SSO Portal.
• Post scrutiny, the eligible applications will be forwarded online to the concerned bank.
• The bank will approve and disburse the loan in the given time period.
