Applicants must submit their applications to the District Level Implementation Unit (DLIA) at the district level, along with the bank’s consent letter for loan approval. After scrutiny of the applications received by the DLIA, a list of eligible applicants will be prepared. Upon completion of all formalities, final approval will be granted. The approved applications, along with the beneficiaries’ forms, will then be submitted through the concerned bank for further scrutiny and loan recommendation.

The bank will provide information on the amount of interest subsidy granted by the state government to the DLIA each quarter, corresponding to the beneficiaries’ approved loans. The DLIA will prepare a bill for the said amount and submit it to the treasury for payment.
