Starting a library or reading room in India under NIC 91011 is a viable small business, especially in tier-2/3 cities and semi-urban areas where access to quiet study spaces is limited. A bank-ready project report is critical for securing a MUDRA loan (Kishor or Tarun) or a CGTMSE-backed term loan. This report must include CMA data, DSCR calculations, and 5-year financial projections to demonstrate repayment capacity. Typical project costs range from ₹3 to ₹20 lakh, covering furniture, books, computers, and initial operating expenses. With the right documentation, you can avail up to 90% collateral-free funding under CGTMSE. This guide covers cost breakdown, format, and step-by-step process for preparing a loan-winning project report for a library/reading room.

For MUDRA Kishor (₹50,001–5 lakh) or Tarun (₹5–10 lakh), the borrower must have a basic educational qualification and a clear credit history.

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) is calculated as Net Operating Income / Total Debt Service (principal + interest). For a library, estimate monthly revenue from membership fees, hourly charges, photocopying, and sale of stationery. Subtract operating expenses (rent, salary, electricity, internet, book replenishment). The resulting net income should be at least 1.25 times the annual loan installment. A sample DSCR of 1.5 is considered safe by banks.
