CGTMSE Loan
Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises
CGTMSE enables entrepreneurs to secure term loans and working capital credit up to ₹5 Crores from scheduled commercial banks without pledging residential, commercial, or industrial real estate.
Scheme Architecture & Lending Details
Jointly set up by the Ministry of MSME and SIDBI, the Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE) provides sovereign credit risk guarantees to Member Lending Institutions (MLIs).
Under the scheme, the government covers up to 85% of the default risk for micro-enterprises (up to ₹5 Lakhs) and women/SC/ST enterprises, and up to 75% for general loans up to ₹5 Crores.
This eliminates the primary bottleneck faced by Indian entrepreneurs: the demand for physical property collateral by commercial lending banks.
