Home / FAQs
General
Do you lend your own money?+–
This website is an MSME finance desk. Sanction and disbursal, if they happen, are by the concerned bank, NBFC or HFC under their policy. We do not promise a loan.
Which services do you cover?+–
Popular asks include GST overdraft, unsecured business loan, working capital / CC, LAP, CGTMSE-style, gold loan, PMEGP, Stand-Up India, women-led MSME credit, machinery, invoice lines, CV, shop loan and takeover. All sit under All services.
Is Udyam mandatory?+–
It is strongly preferred for MSME products and required for many schemes. We still need GST/banking/ITR as applicable.
Can a loss-making year apply?+–
Some lenders accept a weak year if the trend and banking are otherwise sound. It is a credit call, not a marketing yes.
How long does it take?+–
A complete unsecured-style MSME file can move in days to a few weeks. LAP and project loans take longer because of legal and technical. Incomplete GST or title is what actually delays files.
Do you charge a fee before login?+–
Any professional fee, if charged, will be stated in writing. This website form is only an enquiry. Do not pay cash to unknown people promising sanction.
From each service
MSME Business Loan: Is an MSME business loan the same as a personal loan?+–
No. Assessment is on the enterprise: GST, banking, vintage and end-use. Personal loans are scored mainly on the individual.
Working Capital Loan: Working capital loan or cash credit?+–
A WC loan is often a fixed amount with a due date. Cash credit is revolving against drawing power. The right one depends on how regular the need is.
Cash Credit (CC): What is drawing power?+–
The amount you can actually use, usually a percentage of paid stock plus eligible debtors minus creditors, capped at the sanctioned limit.
Business Overdraft (OD): OD or CC — which is better?+–
CC is usually better when stock and debtors drive the need. OD is often simpler when the need is a cash buffer or when property is the main security.
Machinery & Equipment Loan: Can I buy second-hand machinery?+–
Some lenders allow used assets with valuation, age caps and extra margin. It is case-specific, not a blanket yes.
Loan Against Property (LAP): Will you take the only house?+–
Many lenders finance self-occupied homes too, subject to policy. Whether you should pledge it is a separate decision — we explain LTV and risk, we do not push it.
LAP Top-up: Is top-up always available after one year?+–
No. Vintage, LTV, bureau and lender product rules decide. There is no automatic entitlement.
MSME Top-up Loan: Can I top up a loan that is still in the first year?+–
Some products have a cooling period. It is lender-specific.
Collateral-Free MSME Loan (CGTMSE): Does CGTMSE mean 100% approval without security?+–
No. It is a guarantee framework. Credit decision, residual security and quantum are still the lender’s call.
Invoice / Bill Discounting: Will every invoice be financed?+–
No. Ineligible buyers, disputed bills and overdue invoices are usually excluded.
Commercial Vehicle Loan: Can a first-time owner get a truck loan?+–
Possible with stronger margin, a contract, or co-applicant strength. First-time risk is real; we do not oversell it.
Shop & Commercial Property Loan: Is commercial LTV the same as home loan?+–
Usually lower. Commercial assets are assessed more conservatively.
Business Loan Balance Transfer: Should every loan be transferred?+–
No. If foreclosure charges and remaining tenor wipe out the benefit, we recommend staying.
Project & Expansion Loan: Do I need a big consultant DPR?+–
For modest MSME expansions, a clear cost sheet and quotations often matter more than a 80-page DPR. Large projects may need more.
GST Overdraft / GST Loan: Is this a GST refund?+–
No. It is a loan / overdraft. Any GST outstanding with the department is a separate compliance issue.
Unsecured Business Loan: No documents at all?+–
No. Unsecured means no property mortgage, not no papers. GST, banking and KYC are still required.
Bank Guarantee & Letter of Credit: Is a BG a loan I must repay in EMIs?+–
Only if it is invoked. Until then it is a non-fund limit with commission and cash/security margin.
Export Packing Credit (PC / PCFC): I only sell on Amazon India. Is this packing credit?+–
Usually no. Packing credit is for actual exports. Domestic e-commerce is working capital / cash credit.
Business Gold Loan: Is this a CGTMSE or scheme loan?+–
No. It is a gold-backed product. Scheme labels do not apply.
Women Entrepreneur MSME Loan: Is Stand-Up India automatic for every woman?+–
No. It has activity, greenfield and other conditions that change with circulars. Many women MSMEs are better on a regular working-capital file.
Supply Chain / Channel Finance: The buyer is my cousin’s company. Will that work as an anchor?+–
Related-party anchors are usually weak. Independent, larger principals work better.
PMEGP Loan: Is the subsidy guaranteed?+–
No. Subsidy depends on scheme rules, the implementing agency and the bank’s sanction. We do not promise it on this website.
Stand-Up India Loan: I already run a GST shop. Can I still take Stand-Up India?+–
Usually no if it is not greenfield. A running unit is typically a regular MSME WC or term file — including women-centric bank products where they fit.
