If their application is successful, they will receive a cheque of Rs 1 lakh for the purchase of required supplies and equipment.
The Telangana government has introduced a number of other schemes for its deprived citizens. These include pensions for poor and disabled people and interest-free loans for small and medium enterprises. In addition to these, the government has also introduced a health insurance program to cover medical expenses for those who are not covered by private insurance.
The government has also started a scheme to provide affordable housing for low-income families. It has set aside Rs 2,000 crore for this purpose. This money will be used to build two and three-storied houses in urban areas. It will also provide loans to EWS and LIG households to build a house or make additions to their existing living space. This scheme is expected to help around 5000 families. It is a part of the government’s efforts to reduce poverty in the state.
Gruha Lakshmi Scheme
The Gruha Lakshmi Scheme is an initiative of the Karnataka government to support and enhance women’s livelihood. This is achieved through monthly cash incentives that are directly transferred to the bank accounts of eligible beneficiaries. The scheme is also regularly monitored and evaluated to ensure transparency, accountability, and effectiveness.
Eligibility for the scheme depends on income levels and residence in Karnataka. The scheme aims to benefit approximately 1.20 crore women who are heads of households, including housewives, landless females, and female agricultural workers. The scheme is administered through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mode, which ensures that benefits are delivered to those who need them most.
To apply for the scheme, women must submit all required documents. These include identity proof, address proof, and a copy of the bank passbook. Applicants should also note their application form number for future reference. This is important because it will help authorities verify that all documentation has been submitted correctly and that the applicant meets the requirements of the scheme.
Once the application has been processed, the Gruha Lakshmi scheme will deposit the first installment into the beneficiary’s account. The second installment will be credited after the basement has been constructed. The third installment will be credited after the roof has been completed. The total construction period for a home under this scheme is 30 months.
The Karnataka government launched the Gruha Lakshmi Scheme on Wednesday in Mysuru. The scheme provides a monthly financial assistance of Rs 2,000 to women who are the heads of households in the state. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and All India Congress Committee President Mallikarjun Kharge attended the launch. The scheme is one of the five pre-poll assurances that the party had given to voters. The scheme aims to provide housing loans to poor women for the construction of their own homes. This scheme is an excellent way to help empower women and improve their living conditions. It will also allow women to take care of their families and become independent. The scheme will also help eliminate poverty and promote gender equality.
Loan Against POS
POS loans are a great way to finance business expenses. They use a percentage of your business’s credit card sales to pay off the loan, so you don’t have to worry about paying interest or late fees. This can help you avoid cash flow problems during slow periods. Moreover, a POS loan is easy to manage because payment is deducted from your company’s accepted credit transactions automatically.
This type of financing is becoming increasingly popular with customers, and it may be a smart move for businesses that want to attract consumers with the promise of buy now, pay later financing. However, it’s essential to consider the cost and impact of these loans on your business before offering them to your customers. In addition to price, you must also take into account your customer’s credit history and how much financing you can offer them.
Not all point-of-sale finance companies are created equal, and it’s essential to find one that meets your needs. Some lenders focus on small ticket items, while others provide higher amounts of funding for larger purchases. Some lenders also have different lending requirements, interest rates, and terms, so it’s best to shop around before committing.
A number of banks and NBFCs offer POS loans, which are similar to merchant cash advances. These loans can be used to purchase inventory, pay bills, or cover unexpected expenses. These loans can be very beneficial for a business, and they are often available for short-term periods. This type of financing is ideal for retail and hospitality businesses, as it can allow them to increase revenue and stay competitive in their industry.
The POS loan process is quick and straightforward, and most of the time, it’s possible to get approved for a loan in under an hour. Once the application is complete, the lender will review it and will send an executive to collect the required documents from your business premises. The documents vary depending on whether your business is a sole proprietorship, partnership, or limited company.
The POS financing market is expanding rapidly, with new players entering the space every day. These new lenders are putting pressure on traditional banks, which have been slower to assess the potential of this new technology.
Bank Linked Subsidy
In a move to ease the stress of middle-income households, the government has extended the interest subsidy scheme for home loans. This will be available till March 2021. The scheme is aimed at benefiting households with incomes below Rs18 lakh. The interest subsidy is public for loans taken from banks and housing finance companies. The loan amount can be used to buy a new house or construct one. The interest subsidy will be credited directly to the bank accounts of beneficiaries.
The scheme will be implemented as a demand-side intervention to expand institutional credit flow towards affordable housing. Interest subvention will be credited upfront in the loan account of Primary lending institutions, resulting in reduced effective housing loans and Equated Monthly Instalments (EMI). The interest subsidy would be provided at an interest rate of 6.5% for a tenure of 20* years or during the loan tenure, whichever is less.
AP State Minorities Finance Corporation extends financial assistance to economically weaker sections of the minority communities viz; Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Parsis, Buddhists & Jains for their socio-economic development by providing interest subvention with bank linkage to set up viable self-employment schemes. The corporation also includes training and employment for youth and scholarships for students, with a view to improving their means and standard of living.
The corporation has received tremendous response from the minorities in Telangana state, and a lot of applications are still waiting for their subsidy to be credited to their accounts. According to sources, the delay is due to a number of processes. These include the processing of age-proof certificates and mark memos. Besides, there is a lack of clarity regarding some slabs of the interest subsidy.
