According to the latest figures, more than 50,706 proposals have got in-principle approvals and 27,893 proposals have been sanctioned as on 31 March 2019.
The portal was launched by the Narendra Modi government in November to provide loans up to ₹1 crore to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in just 59 minutes or less than an hour.
The platform has helped reduce turnaround time for loan processes in such a way that MSMEs get an eligibility letter and an in-principle approval in 59 minutes and can choose the bank of their choice. After the approval letter is received, the loan is expected to be disbursed in 7-8 working days. The value of the contactless business loans offered range from ₹1 lakh to ₹5 crore. The rate of interest starts at 8.5%.
“The highlight of operating through platform is, it quickens sanction time and increases transparency. This is a part of our ongoing journey towards uplifting the sunrise sector of the country. With the increase in the loan limit to 5 crore we are sure that this will broaden the playing field for the MSME sector," said Devi Shankar Mishra, CGM,MSME, SBI.
