11. MODALITIES OF THE OPERATION OF THE SCHEME

(i) Project proposals will be invited from potential beneficiaries at district level through multi-media publicity by KVIC, KVIBs and DICs.

(a) Sponsoring of project by any agency is not mandatory. The beneficiary can directlyapproach Bank/Financial Institution along with his/her project proposal. However, theapplications received directly by the Banks will be referred to the Task Force for itsconsideration.

(b) Proposals can be sponsored by KVIC/KVIBs/DIC/Panchayat Karyalayas etc.

(c) The Task Force headed by the concerned Deputy Commissioner scrutinized the applications and based on the experience, technical qualification, and skill, viability of the project etc., the Task Force shortlists suitable ones and calls for an interview of the applicants separately for rural and urban areas. The selected candidates are provided project formulation guidance and orientation by KVIC or KVIBs or DICs who also assist and guide them in project formulation and submission to the concerned Bank in the area. The applicants may also approach any other agencies listed under pare 5.3.

(d) KVIC will identify the Nodal Banks at State level in consultation with State Governmentsand will forward the list to all the implementing agencies.



(ii) The release of funds to the implementing agencies will be in the following manner:-

(a) Government will provide funds under PMEGP to KVIC, the nodal implementingagency. KVIC will in turn, within a period of 15 days of receipt of the money fromthe Government, place the margin money funds with the implementing Banks atthe State level in their respective accounts in accordance with the targets allocatedto each implementing agency. CEO, KVIC will convey the margin money targetsallotted to each State to the Principal Secretaries/ Secretaries(lndustries)/Commissioners (Industries) simultaneously. The target among the Districts in the State will be assigned by the State Level Bankers CoordinationCommittee (SLBCC). SLBCC will ensure that targets are evenly distributed withineach district. The State-wise targets in respect of KVIC/KVIBs will be made available by KVIC to SLBCC where overall allocation of district-wise targets will be decided. Any modification of the targets will be permitted only with the concurrenceof the Ministry.

(b) KVIC will place the margin money amount with the Banks involved in the implementation of the scheme in accordance with the targets allocated to the implementing Banks in the State/District. DICs, in close coordination with Banks, will ensure that at least 50% of the total margin money allocated to them will be utilized in setting up of project in rural areas.

(c) KVIC being the single Nodal Agency at the National level will coordinate with theidentified implementing agencies, i.e., KVIBs, DICs and others. KVIC will carry outtasks envisaged in the forward and backward linkages, including e-tracking, web management, publicity, physical verification of units, organizing EDP, awarenesscamps, workshops and exhibitions. Hence, KVIC will require utilizing major shareof the allocation under forward and backward linkages. However, KVIC will ensurethat it will reserve allocate at least 25% of the total allocation under Forward andBackward linkages, under the Scheme to DICs of different participating Statesdepending on the demand and extent of implementation. This money will be released to DICs, only after obtaining an undertaking from the State Governmentregarding full utilization of the funds already provided under the erstwhile PMRYTraining and Premotivational campaigns. Any unspent balance available under the training and contingencies of erstwhile PMRY Scheme will be utilized for trainingand relevant expenditure under PMEGP. DICs will submit monthly utilization reportto KVIC in this regard.

(d) The Task Force will hold quarterly meeting with the Banks at district level to


review the status of the project proposals. Wherever the projects are rejected, the concerned bank will furnish shortcomings/reasons to the implementing agencies concerned and KVIC/KVIBs/DICs will ask the applicants concerned to provide additional information/documents, if required. The concerned representatives of KVIC, KVIBs and DICs, will provide assistance to the applicants in this process. Since the Bank's representative will also be a member of the Task Force, it needs to be ensured that bank sanctions maximum number of projects, cleared by the Task Force. Chairman of the District Task Force will review the performance of Banks and the loan repayment/recovery status in the quarterly review meetings.

(e) Banks will take their own credit decision on the basis of viability of eachproject. No collateral security will be insisted upon by Banks in line withthe guidelines of RBI for projects involving loan up to Rs. 5 lakhs in respectof the projects cleared by the Task Force. However, they will appraiseprojects both technically and economically after ensuring that each projectfulfills inter alia the criteria of

(i) Industry

(ii) Per Capita Investment

(iii) Own Contribution

(iv) Rural Areas and

(v) Negative List

It is essential that the applications cleared by the District Task Force also fulfill these requirements at that stage itself so as to avoid delays in approval of loans in Banks.

(f) Once the project proposals are received by KVIC, KVIBs, DICs or Banks,the details of such proposals are to be fed in the web based applicationtracking system with a unique registration number for each beneficiary atthe District level by the KVIC State Office/KVIBs/D!Cs to enable theentrepreneurs to track their application status at any point of time. Till suchtime the e-tracking system becomes fully operational disaggregated datain respect of progress of each application, assistance availed bybeneficiaries belonging to special categories (category wise), employmentdetails, etc., will be maintained by KVIC/KVIBs/DICs and the data will bereconciled every month in KVIC. The status of such reconciliation will bereviewed in the Task Force meetings and in the review meetings at KVIC.Separate colour code is given to application form and applications/claimforms of Margin Money through KVIC/KVIBs/DICs. This is done to help the


beneficiaries and the processing/sanctioning functionaries to identify and monitor the progress of implementation.

(g) Once the project is sanctioned and before the first instalment of theBank Finance is released to the beneficiary, Bank will inform the State/Regional Office of the KVIC/KVIBs/DICs, as the case may be, forarranging EDP training to the beneficiary, if he/she has not alreadyundergone such training. If he/she has already undergone such trainingof at least 2 weeks duration, such beneficiary need not undergo furtherEDP training.

(h) First instalment of the loan will be released to the beneficiary only after

completion of EDP training.

(i) After the successful completion of EDP training the beneficiary willdeposit with the bank, the owner's contribution. Thereafter, the bankwill release first instalment of the Bank Finance to the beneficiary.

(j) Projects sanctioned will be declared ineligible for Margin Money assistance if the EDP training is not completed.

(k) After the release of Bank finance either partly or fully, Bank will submit Margin

Money claim to the designated Nodal Branch of the State/Region. In the case of projects financed by the Regional Rural Banks, the financing branches will submit the Margin Money Claim to their Head Office. The Head office, in turn, will submit the consolidated claims to the designated Nodal Branch of their sponsoring Bank. In the case of projects financed by SIDBI, the guidelines issued by SIDBI for release of loan/margin money will be followed. Though the margin money (subsidy) will be released by the designated Nodal Branch of the Bank, KVIC/DIC is the final authority to either accept the project/ claim or reject, based on the parameters of the Scheme. Detailed grounds for rejections shall be maintained by KVIC/KVIBs/DICs. There will be a separate system of acknowledging grievances or complaints and a monthly report will be prepared on grievances/complaints received and the status/action taken for their redressal.

(m) Once the Margin Money is released in favour of the loanee, it should be kept inthe Term Deposit Receipt of three years at branch level in the name of thebeneficiary/Institution. No interest will be paid on the TDR and no interest will becharged on loan to the corresponding amount of TDR.

(n) Since Margin Money is to be provided in the form of subsidy (Grant), it will


be credited to the Borrowers loan account after three years from the date of first disbursement to the borrower/institution, by the Bank.

(o) In case the Bank's advance goes "bad" before the three year period, due to reasons, beyond the control of the beneficiary, the Margin Money will be adjusted by the Bank to liquidate the loan liability of the borrower either in part or full.

(p) In case any recovery is effected subsequently by the Bank from any source whatsoever, such recovery will be utilized by the Bank for liquidating their outstanding dues first. Any surplus will be remitted to KVIC.

(q) Margin Money will be 'one time assistance', from Government. For any enhancement of credit limit or for expansion/modernization of the project, margin money assistance is not available.

(r) Margin Money assistance is available only for new projects sanctioned specifically under the PMEGP. Existing units are not eligible under the Scheme.

(s) Projects financed from two different sources are also not eligible for Margin Money assistance.

(t) Bank has to obtain an undertaking from the beneficiary that, in the event of objection byKVIC/KVIB/DIC, the beneficiary will refund the Margin Money kept in the TDR orreleased to him after three years period.

(u) Each beneficiary shall prominently display the following sign-board at the main entrance of his/her project site. Bank/KVIC/KVIB/DIC are to ensure it.
