Interest Subsidy for Women Entrepreneurs: 60% Rate
The Higher Rate for Women
Women entrepreneurs running an eligible Micro unit get a 60% interest subsidy (versus the general 50%), under the same ₹25 lakh per-unit cap and 5-year duration.
Does the business need to be majority women-owned to qualify?
This isn't spelled out precisely in the public scheme summary — confirm the exact ownership-share requirement with your District Industries Office.
