Is Scheme Ka Faayda Kis Tak Pahunchta Hai
Is scheme ka poora maqsad ek hi hai: un chhote business tak funding pahunchana jinke paas collateral nahi hai. Aur wahi desh mein sabse bada tabka hai. Kyunki hunar, order aur customer to bahut logon ke paas hote hain, par property ke kaagaz sabke paas nahi hote. Sach bolu to, is dhaanche ka asli faayda un logon ko hai jinka business chal raha hai aur record theek hai, par jo sirf security ki wajah se atak jaate the. Aur uska matlab ye bhi hai ki agar aapka record hi kamzor hai to ye scheme wo kami poori nahi karti, kyunki wo collateral ki jagah leti hai, eligibility ki nahi.
Aavedan Se Pehle Kya Majboot Karein
Teen cheezein. Pehli, Udyam registration, kyunki ye MSME ke liye bana dhaancha hai aur uske bina daayra khulta hi nahi. Doosri, apna bank statement, jisme business ka paisa saaf aata-jaata dikhe, kyunki jab collateral nahi hai to yahi sabse bada aadhaar hai. Teesri, khareed aur bikri ka koi likhit hisaab. Aap khud sochiye, jab security na ho to lender kis cheez par bharosa karega? Aapke cash flow par. Isi liye wahi sabse majboot karna chahiye. ProWiderKart ek facilitator hai.
