Provides interest subvention on working capital loans for handloom weavers and monthly sustenance allowance for DPIIT-recognized technology startups in Uttar Pradesh.
विस्तृत सारांश
Scheme Overview
The scheme operates through two distinct verticals administered by the Directorate of Handlooms & Textiles and the UP Startup Cell under the Department of Infrastructure and Industrial Development. The Handloom vertical addresses credit cost barriers for traditional weavers, while the Startup vertical supports early-stage technology ventures.
Handloom Credit Support
Eligible weavers and handloom organizations availing working capital loans from scheduled commercial banks receive an interest subvention. The subvention caps the effective interest burden, ensuring affordable credit for raw material procurement and operational expenses.
Startup Sustenance Allowance
DPIIT-recognized startups headquartered in Uttar Pradesh receive a fixed monthly sustenance allowance for a defined period to support founder living expenses during the product development and validation phase. Disbursement is routed through the designated nodal agency upon quarterly verification of operational status.

इस योजना के बारे में अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न
The scheme typically restricts eligibility to loans availed from Scheduled Commercial Banks and Regional Rural Banks. Loans from Cooperative Banks are generally not covered unless specifically notified by a subsequent Government Order.
The sustenance allowance is a grant-in-aid for operational support. Applicants are advised to consult a chartered accountant regarding tax implications under the Income Tax Act, 1961, as the department does not issue tax exemption certificates for this specific allowance.
Interest subvention is generally available for the tenure of the working capital loan or a maximum period specified in the governing Government Order (typically aligned with the crop/production cycle or annual renewal), subject to timely repayment and submission of utilization certificates.
Yes, receipt of external equity funding does not automatically disqualify a startup, provided it meets all other eligibility criteria including DPIIT recognition, UP domicile, age, and turnover limits. However, the scheme guidelines in force at the time of application prevail.
The scheme does not prescribe a specific annual income ceiling for individual weavers; eligibility is determined by valid registration with the Handloom Directorate and sanction of a working capital loan from an eligible lending institution.
