Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are the second largest group of employers in India. This segment, however, finds it difficult to arrange capital requirements though regular banking channels.
In a bid to boost credit availability to MSMEs, PM Narendra Modi introduced a slew of measures in November this year that would fast-track such credit requirements.
Of the 12-point action plan announced by Modi, the most noteworthy is loan availability up to Rs 1 crore within 59 minutes for GST-registered MSMEs.
This will be undertaken through a dedicated digital portal.

The web portal will set new benchmarks in loan processing, shaving off the turnaround time from 20-25 days to just 59 minutes.
These loans will be sourced from the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and five other public sector banks – State Bank of India, Indian Bank, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda, and Vijaya Bank.
If applied for on the website, in-principle loans will not require any physical documentation and disbursal can be expected within 7-8 working days. The entire process is digitised and there will be no human interaction until the sanction and disbursal stage.
