State Bank of India

State Bank of India (SBI) is one of the oldest institutions in the development of small-scale industries in India, dating back to 1956. The bank has financed directly 8 lacs SSI units in the country through its 55 specialized SSI branches, 99 branches in industrial estates and more than 400 branches with SBI divisions. Some of its schemes are:
 
(a) Liberalized Scheme – Bank grants need-based credit facilities to Small Scale Industrial units, on liberal terms and conditions
   
(b) Entrepreneur Scheme – Provides financial assistance to technically qualified or trained and experienced Entrepreneurs for setting up new viable industrial projects under liberalized scheme
   
(c) Equity Fund Scheme – Bank extends assistance to the entrepreneurs who are not able to bring in the required equity
 
Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Small Industries
This scheme, devised by Government of India and SIDBI, helps small-scale entrepreneurs realise their dreams of making it big and successful. CGTSI provides guarantee for such collateral-free lending for loans of over 5 lakhs rupees and up to 25 lakhs rupees per SSI borrower and takes care of 75% of the credit risk. CGTSI guarantee is a better alternative instrument than 100% collateral security.
 
The institutions eligible to operationalise the scheme are:
  • Scheduled Commercial Banks
  • RRBs (Sustainable viable category)
  • Those approved by the Ministry of SSI, GoI
 
CGTSI also envisages covering new high risk areas such as:
  • Technology / Business Incubation Projects
  • Grass root Innovations for Commercialisation
  • Projects based on Energy-efficient Technologies
  • Projects based on Environmentally Sound Technologies
