Stand-Up India is a flagship government scheme aimed at promoting entrepreneurship among Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and women entrepreneurs by providing bank loans between ₹10 lakh and ₹1 crore for greenfield enterprises. For an entrepreneur in Patna, Bihar, securing a loan under this scheme requires a bank-ready project report that demonstrates the viability of the proposed business. This report must include detailed CMA (Credit Monitoring Arrangement) data, Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) calculations, and 5-year financial projections. A well-prepared project report not only speeds up loan approval but also helps in negotiating better terms. In Patna, where local banks like State Bank of India, Bank of India, and Canara Bank are active lenders under Stand-Up India, the report must align with the scheme's guidelines and the specific requirements of the district-level lead bank. The report should cover project cost, means of finance, working capital assessment, and break-even analysis. With proper documentation, entrepreneurs can avail of a 15% subsidy on capital investment (capped at ₹30 lakh) under the scheme, making it a highly attractive option for starting a manufacturing, trading, or service unit in Patna.
To apply for Stand-Up India in Patna, the entrepreneur must belong to SC, ST, or be a woman. The business must be a greenfield project (new enterprise) in manufacturing, trading, or services. There is no restriction on the sector, but activities like tobacco, liquor, and real estate are excluded. The applicant should not be a defaulter to any bank and must have a viable business idea. For Patna, priority is given to projects that generate local employment and use local resources. The loan amount ranges from ₹10 lakh to ₹1 crore, and the promoter's contribution is 10% for loans up to ₹50 lakh and 15% for loans above ₹50 lakh. Additionally, the scheme is available for both individual and partnership firms, provided the majority stake is held by eligible entrepreneurs.
The project cost under Stand-Up India includes land, building, plant & machinery, and working capital. In Patna, land costs vary by location (e.g., Patna Municipal Corporation area vs. outskirts). Banks finance up to 85-90% of the project cost, with the promoter bringing the balance. For example, a ₹50 lakh project requires ₹5 lakh promoter contribution. The loan is composite, covering term loan and working capital. Interest rates are linked to the bank's base rate (currently around 8-10% p.a.). The repayment period is up to 7 years, with a moratorium of up to 18 months. Subsidy: The government provides a 15% capital subsidy (capped at ₹30 lakh) on eligible investment, which is back-ended and adjusted after loan disbursement. In Patna, banks like SBI and PNB have dedicated Stand-Up India cells that help structure the project cost.
