CM-YUVA for Women Entrepreneurs

Same Ceiling & SubsidyPriority ConsiderationLast reviewed: Sep 2026

CM-YUVA for Women

CM-YUVA's core eligibility (age 21–40, UP residence, 8th pass minimum) and benefits (up to ₹5 lakh interest-free in Phase 1, ₹10–20 lakh at 50% subsidy in Phase 2) apply the same way to women applicants. Women-focused businesses — boutiques/tailoring, salons, food businesses, tutoring, handicrafts — are common and well-suited applications.

Please verify: Some UP schemes carry a specific women's quota/priority weightage in district-level selection — confirm with your District Industries Office whether CM-YUVA currently has one, as this can change with policy updates.

Is there a separate loan ceiling for women under CM-YUVA?

The scheme's published ceilings (₹5 lakh Phase 1 / ₹10–20 lakh Phase 2) are not stated as different for women — confirm current district practice if you've heard otherwise.

Can I apply as a woman without a co-applicant?

Yes — CM-YUVA is an individual-entrepreneur scheme; a co-applicant isn't a stated requirement.
