With the view of providing easy access to credit and financial assistance to MSMEs, the government has initiated the MSME Support and Outreach Programme (SOP) . Under this scheme, the Indian Government will provide in-principal approval to all MSMEs having MSME registration and GST Registration, for easy loans up to ₹ 5 crores within 59 minutes
Those having a GST registration will be granted a 2% subsidy in the interest rates. This will surely boost tax compliance among the MSMEs and will enhance their ease of doing business.
Further, those exporters having a unique Import Export Code along with GST registration will be given an additional rebate in the interest rate from 3% to 5% on loans availed in pre-shipment and post-shipment period.
