NEW SCHEME FROM SIDBI UNDER COVID-19
Covid Startup Assistance Scheme (Sidbi Startup Loan):-
Startups are typically resource-constrained because they’re young, dynamic, and inventive. With the COVID-19 outbreak, which has caused lockdowns, startup founders must find new ways to work for their companies. They need to meet their capital needs while still planning for potential expansion. The tiny Industries Development Bank of India recognizes the operating and economic difficulties that businesses face and has been working to supply financial help and stability to them via schemes a bit like the COVID-19 Startup Assistance Scheme (‘CSAS’) (Sidbi Startup Loan). This program would help create startups that have demonstrated their ability to regulate the economic effects of Covid-19 while also ensuring the protection and financial security of their employees. SIDBI (Sidbi Startup Loan) doesn’t provide credit to businesses and instead focuses on equity and fund infusion.
SIDBI Scheme and Process:-
The CSAS program helps startups that will directly take advantage of the program. This program aims to supply businesses with fast capital expenditures within the next 45 to 90 days. As a result, various Committees of 5 members (3 from SIDBI and its candidates and a couple from the Wealth Management industry) will be formed to expedite the method. The processing charge is 1% of the sanctioned amount.
New businesses can get a loan of up to INR 2 crore via this program. The application will be screened using the following procedure:
⦁ On the SIDBI Scheme portal, the scheme document will be open.
⦁ On the SIDBI Scheme portal, an application called Credit Appraisal Memo (CAM) and a Self-Assessment Tool (SAT) will be made available.
⦁ Within 30 days of the scheme’s launch, startups must complete the CAM, SAT and email the documents to a given email address (csas@sidbi.in).
⦁ The Recommendation Committee will conduct a credit review and a video conference with the startup and the VC investor.
⦁ Following that, SIDBI’s planned Internal Credit Committee (ICC) will regularly approve loans to businesses. Businesses and VC investors may be asked to participate in a video chat conference during the ICC conferences.
⦁ Acceptance or denial status will be shared in the mail on the same day.
⦁ The part of Loan Agreements and supporting documents will be entirely digital.
