CGTMSE is a Government of India scheme launched in the year 2000 in collaboration with the Small Industries
Development Bank of India (SIDBI). It offers loans to Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) without any collateral or thirdparty
guarantee. It also provides guarantees to eligible MSEs on loans availed from Member Lending Institutions (MLIs), i.e.,
public, private and foreign banks and financial institutions.
Under the CGTMSE scheme, MSEs have been availing credit guarantees up to a ceiling limit of ₹2 crore. This has been
revised to ₹5 crore from April 2023.
Providing collateral is often a significant hurdle for small businesses, many of which have limited or no tangible assets to
pledge. The CGTMSE scheme alleviates this issue by offering collateral-free loans, which means that MSEs can secure
financing without needing to risk their existing assets. This approach encourages entrepreneurship by allowing startups
and smaller enterprises to access the capital they need to grow without the added pressure of collateral requirements.
