Service FAQs
Does CGTMSE guarantee I will get a loan?
No. The scheme provides a guarantee to the bank, but the bank retains full discretion over the credit decision.
Can you guarantee a collateral-free sanction?
No. While the scheme is designed to minimize collateral, banks exercise their own independent credit policies.
What are the scheme limits?
Scheme limits and guidelines are determined by the Government of India and SIDBI, and are subject to change.
Are personal guarantees still required?
Most banks still require personal guarantees from promoters even under the CGTMSE framework.
Do you charge a percentage of the loan?
We operate on a transparent advisory fee model; any success-linked components comply with relevant regulatory standards.
How do we know if we are eligible?
We begin with a preliminary review based on Udyam registration, vintage, and financial health.
